Chapter 466 - Against The Wall (2/2)

“I don't believe you. In fact, I can tell you're lying. I see it in your eyes. Good kids don't lie!” Tang Wulin said righteously, wagging his finger.

Gu Yue arched her brow. “So what are you going to do about it?”

In one quick, fluid motion, Tang Wulin appeared right before her, his hands clutching at her shoulders. She yelped. Next thing she knew, he had her pressed against the wall, his arms on either side of her, a makes.h.i.+ft cage..

Their eyes met. Tang Wulin brought his face closer to hers. A couple of inches separated their noses. She could feel his warm breath against her cheeks, could smell his unique and masculine scent with each breath. She somehow managed to blush even redder.

“W-what are you doing?”

“Interrogating you!” Tang Wulin declared.

“I can't believe you!” Despite Gu Yue's meek voice, something foreign flickered in her eyes. Something bold. It was right there. Tang Wulin's face, fierce and determined, mere inches from hers. She closed her eyes, lashes splaying like a fan. And she pursed her lips. Faint elemental fluctuations rippled around her, ready to rampage at any moment.

A rustle of cloth. Gu Yue opened her eyes. To her surprise, Tang Wulin had dropped his arms and let out a sigh.

“Fine. I can't do this. You win,” Tang Wulin shook his head and turned to leave. If she won't answer, then so be it. She did smell nice though.

“Get back here!” Gu Yue shouted after him.

Tang Wulin glanced over his shoulder. “No. If you won't trust me, then what's the point?”

Gu Yue glared daggers at him. “Fine. Leave then. I won't tell you.”

In a flash, Tang Wulin appeared in front of her using his newly learned Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step.

“Tell me.” He pulled a chair over and sat down, looking at her inquisitively.

She lowered her head in silence.

“Out with it already. You only have to tell me and no one else. I'll keep it a secret.”

“Actually, my martial soul is a dragon,” she muttered.

“A dragon?” Tang Wulin's heartbeat quickened, blood thumping in his ears. His s.h.i.+rt stuck to his back, suddenly damp and sticky. “Isn't it Elementalist?”

Gu Yue nodded. “Yes, but it's also a dragon. Control over the elements is just how my martial soul manifests.”
