Chapter 55 - I Will Do It
“Brother Feng, are you sure that you aren’t fooling around?” Wen-Ren Chu-Chu’s eyes were filled with ferocity and her face was showing an ugly expression.
“What?” Ye Xiao asked in surprise while eating a drumstick. He looked innocent and confused and his eyes seemed pure.
“You…” Wen-Ren Chu-Chu nearly spat blood, “Can’t you consider… the distance that should be kept between men and women? The solution you were describing… How could you… How could I…”
She was too shy to continue.
Ye Xiao finally understood and said, “Urh… That…”
He took the drumstick out of his mouth at once. Suddenly, he too started to feel embarrassed and didn’t know what to do. So he coughed and stuttered, “That… I am so sorry about it… Well… Ahem… I didn’t consider it well enough… Forgive me. I’m really… I… I… I have never touched a girl in my whole life… Ahem… So I didn’t give enough consideration to this kind of thing… I thought that since you were also a cultivator… maybe… you probably… wouldn’t care…”
Ye Xiao was so ashamed that he was babbling incoherently.
This was the first time that, right when the Xiao Monarch was brimming with confidence and overflowing with eloquence, he encountered such embarrassment.
He couldn’t deny it. Even if he tried his best to deny it, it would only sound like a lame excuse.
Ye Xiao truly didn’t consider such an aspect: [I am just helping you with your illness, am I not?]
Other than solving the problem, he didn’t take anything else into consideration.
When Wen-Ren Chu-Chu saw the tough guy, Master Feng, suddenly become so awkward, she couldn’t help but laugh. - Pu - She wouldn’t have thought that this Master Feng, who looked to be over thirty years old, would actually act like a young boy when facing this matter.
This kind of squirming, this kind of awkward embarrassment, this kind of shameful helplessness - these were definitely not things that he could fake.
[It seems that this guy is too focused on dan-making and hasn’t been in any relationship yet. He really doesn’t think much about things between a man and a woman…] Wen-Ren Chu-Chu didn’t know why she came up with such an idea.
[What he just said means he really didn’t consider that. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so embarrassed. It seems, that I am the one who has bad thoughts…]
Wen-Ren Chu-Chu continued her train of thoughts.
[This Feng Zhi-Ling is good at playing tricks, has a thick hide, does well in cultivation, is a supreme dan-maker, has deep thoughts and tough bones. He also knows much about human nature and is well informed. But why on earth doesn’t he understand anything about stuff between men and women?]
Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was so confused and felt weird.
She suddenly felt that the guy in front of her was filled with contradictions.
“Well. I am sorry… But Lady Wen-Ren, you really should give it a try. After all, it concerns your life and your future accomplishments…” Saying this, Ye Xiao peeked at her face and said, “Please don’t worry. I don’t have any improper interests in you…”
Ye Xiao meant to say: [I will cure you and you let me go. We become friends. I won’t think much about you, and you won’t need to worry too much about me.]
But he shouldn’t have peeked at her face when he was saying that.
Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was so angry that she had nearly fainted!
[You looked at my face while telling me you have no interest in me?]
“Do you mean to say that I am ugly?! So I’m not attractive to you?” Wen-Ren Chu-Chu gnashed her teeth and suddenly forgot to feel shy. Her face actually turned green.
“No… No…” Ye Xiao realized that he had said something wrong. He kept waving his hand while babbling incoherently, “No, no, no… I meant that you were ugly… Wait, no… I meant you are not that ugly… No, no, no, Lady Wen-Ren, please let me explain… You know what I meant, don’t you… You should know what I meant… Ahhhh! ~~~”
And then there was vegetable soup on the Xiao Monarch’s face.
This was because Lady Chu-Chu was so angry that she had exploded and threw the soup onto his face.
- Tok tok tok… -
While Master Feng was busy wiping the soup off his face and was about to shout out ‘what’s wrong with you’, he only saw an alluring view of her back leaving in a rage!
Every step of hers was making the floor creak loudly!
She must have been furious at that moment!
They had been drinking leisurely and it had been a poetic scene, but suddenly, it had completely broken down. The soup was dripping down his face onto his body; on his shoulder, there seemed to be a fish bone. The fine silk behind him was now stained by the soup as it hung limply downwards like a dead fish…
Ye Xiao sat there stunned for a long time, unable to say a word.
He eventually just shook his head and sighed, “Why are you so short-tempered. I told you we’re all cultivators. I can’t believe you don’t even understand that. I’m helping you… I tried to make it clear and you actually treated me like this… Gosh... Whoever is unfortunate enough to marry you in the future must be blind…”
Without a word, he walked back to his room to change his clothes. He wanted to take a bath but he didn’t have such a luxurious service.
“A decent man won’t fight against a woman!” Ye Xiao thought, “Let alone that I really don’t have a chance to win…”
…
After a while, Wen-Ren Chu-Chu walked back in, leisurely with her hands behind her back. She smiled sweetly and said, “Brother Feng, I apologise for startling you just now.”
Ye Xiao sighed and threw up his hands, speaking sincerely, “Sure. Lady Chu-Chu, if you don’t care about your health, or if you don’t want to live anymore… You should just treat me as a captive again. You know how stubborn I can be. Don’t expect me to cure your illness anymore, let alone remain friends with you…”
