Chapter 65: A Tad Bit Small (2/2)

Subsequently, after Zi Changhe returned, her master and Zi Changhe went to the Wu Clan for Xiang Shaoyun. However, they returned empty handed. She thought that Xiang Shaoyun was dead for sure, and she had been grieving over him.

Recently, she had been in secluded cultivation. Only today when she had ended the seclusion did she find out that Xiang Shaoyun had returned safely. It caused her to be wild with joy. Unbeknown to her, he had already occupied a spot in her heart. Now, she finally saw him again. The confidence and grace he exuded had only grown after all this time. Gazing at him, she fell into a slight reverie.

But she still needed to maintain the virtue of a young lady; thus, she resisted her urge to pounce into his arms. Xiang Shaoyun was unaware of all that. He only wanted to thank her properly. She was someone who had not abandoned him even during the most dangerous moment, a proof that she was someone worth trusting, a friend he could trust his back with.

”Tsk tsk, it has been only a month, and you have grown even prettier,” Xiang Shaoyun couldn't help but praise Lu Xiaoqing when he got near her.

Lu Xiaoqing blushed as she replied meekly, ”You're lying.”

”Haha, I don't have many merits, but one of the few I have is my honesty. But still, it's too bad,” Xiang Shaoyun laughed as he looked at the blus.h.i.+ng Lu Xiaoqing.

”You're still as narcissistic as ever!” Lu Xiaoqing said with contempt before asking curiously, ”Too bad about what?”

Xiang Shaoyun coughed, ”Cough, cough. Uhm, I don't think I should say it.”

”No, I want to know!” Lu Xiaoqing purred.

”Fine, remember, you demanded it. Don't you be angry over it later,” Xiang Shaoyun stated before s.h.i.+fting his gaze to Lu Xiaoqing's chest and said, ”Cough, cough, they're a tad bit too small.”

Raising her brows, Lu Xiaoqing yelled, ”Scoundrel!” Then she sent a slap at Xiang Shaoyun.

Lu Xiaoqing was a first-stage Astral Realm cultivator. Although she did not use her full power, her slap still carried a considerable might.

”Hey, hey, you promised you wouldn't be angry! Why are you beating me? Stop being so coa.r.s.e lest you won't find a husband in the future!” Xiang Shaoyun yelled as he dodged the slap.

”You're the one who won't be able to find a wife! You scoundrel!” Lu Xiaoqing stamped her foot on the ground and cursed.

”Haha, I don't mind getting married to a queen who can take care of my living for me! That would be great!” Xiang Shaoyun howled with laughter.

”You? n.o.body would want you!” Lu Xiaoqing said. Despite what she said, this naughty disposition of Xiang Shaoyun had in fact deeply attracted her.

”Alright, I'll stop messing around. Thank you!” Xiang Shaoyun stopped joking around and thanked her solemnly. He deeply hated those who betrayed him, but he also greatly appreciated those who were loyal to him.

”Don't worry about it. It's not like I was much help anyway. I nearly got in your way instead,” Lu Xiaoqing muttered guiltily. During the incident, she had felt completely helpless. And because of that, she had spent the past month cultivating with all her effort. Finally, she broke through and reached the first stage of the Astral Realm, officially becoming the personal disciple of the eleventh elder.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled. ”Don't ever think that way. You are a loyal friend! You're...only slightly lacking in intelligence.”

Lu Xiaoqing's heart was filled with sweetness when she heard the first part of the sentence. But when she heard the latter part, her face darkened.
