Chapter 517 (1/2)

A Shameful Matter (1)

Which girl would be happy to hear of a place like that? Especially not when they hear a potential partner went to a brothel.

“I’m not lying! Also, I’ve done many things people can’t know of, which one are you referring to?” There were many surprised faces upon hearing Ye Lang’s words.

“...Little idiot, do you know he’s referring to shameful stuff?” Coldblood Five sighed.

“Shameful? He’s talking about secrets that people don’t know about me, I have many secrets!” came Ye Lang’s reply.

“Stupid! Secrets are secrets, that’s different from shameful! He’s insulting you, he’s talking about bad things you did!” exclaimed Coldblood Five in his ear, exasperated.

“It’s about the same!” Ye Lang still thought it was almost the same.

No matter what, Ye Lang still thought it was fine. However, his nonchalance only made everyone thought he was a fake asshole who had done many shady things.

However, they also found it odd because why would a fake asshole tell everyone so directly that he had done things people can’t know of?

That didn’t sound like something a fake person would do!

“Mr Fox, I think you’ve mistaken! He’s not talking about secrets!” added Li Yue. After spending ten days with him, she knew he was prone to misunderstandings.

Of course, she explained them away with the thought that the fox race might have different communication styles compared to humans. However, she never considered the long history of the Fox family living among humans- they should be practically assimilated into human society by now!

“I know, but I’m sure every person must have something they cannot tell the world. It’s the same!” waved Ye Lang, though he indirectly clarified that he was definitely mixing the meanings of ‘secret’ and ‘shameful matters’.

At the same time, he was admitting that he had, in fact, done shameful things, and everyone in the world too.

Perhaps everyone would agree with him though no one would ever say it aloud. This made them shocked.

“He’s right! That was a good one, kid. Every person has a dark side to them- or, you could say, everything has its own dark side. We don’t have to hide this truth, nor do we have to force people to reveal their dark side,” came a shout from a very learned, senior scholar. He had a huge revelation from Ye Lang’s words.

After the old scholar spoke, most of the guests fell into deep thought, no one dared say that they had not committed a sin in their lives. It didn’t matter if it was major or minor, everyone sinned.

That meant it wasn’t a big deal this fox kid had a few minor sins!

Eh? Wait a minute!

“Hey, you fox, I don’t care if you have committed sins or not, I’m not even talking about that!” Li Yan snapped out of his thoughts abruptly. What he wanted to say had nothing to do with this at all! Phew, he almost got sucked into that conversation.

“?? Then what did you want to talk about? Also, who are you? Why do you seem so familiar?” Ye Lang eyed him in confusion.

“...” Li Yan fell silent. He didn’t expect Ye Lang to be shameless enough to pretend not to recognise him. Li Yan hadn’t at all even considered the possibility that it was the truth.
