Chapter 521 (1/2)

Leaving Is The Best Solution (3)

“Nope, I don’t!” Ye Lang shook his head.

“...” Her face darkened.

“All I want is your approval, is it so important that other people approve of this?” asked Ye Lang.

Was it?

This was a matter between two people, approval from other people was just extra icing on the cake but not the key. She felt like she might’ve gotten too distracted, her family’s attitude should not affect her too much.

She believed that when the time came, when paddy has been cooked into rice, they would accept him the same…

Wait, what am I thinking? When paddy has been cooked into rice?! We aren’t even at that level yet, this is so embarrassing!

[TL Note: when the paddy is cooked into rice- when the deed is done; implies when she’s already married / pregnant]

After a minute of overthinking, her face turned very, very red like the evening sky.

“What’s the matter, your face is very red! Are you having a fever?” Ye Lang touched her forehead. “It’s a little hot but I don’t think it’s a fever yet. Take care of yourself.”

“...” Li Yue felt her face grow hotter, though she seemed to like this feeling.

“You… Don’t you both think this is inappropriate? You’re in public, what’s the meaning of this?” Animal Man appeared once again, he seemed to have been following Li Yue.

“Is this inappropriate?”

“This is none of your business!” said Ye Lang and Li Yue at the same time with no intention to step away from each other. Li Yue’s question had a stubbornness to it that surprised Animal Man.

Although Li Yue was a soldier, she was never stubborn with anyone. Instead, she was gentle and warm-- alright, maybe not gentle but she was always polite and mild. Not like this.

However, even without harshness, she still had the aura a soldier should have. She did not need to use anger to show her status.

“Mr Fox, right? I challenge you to a duel!” Animal Man was furious indeed, making a request that was very common on the mainland. Yeah, duel challenges were very common, something that happened every day.

“I’m not interested!” Ye Lang waved, the expression on his face seemed to say ‘please stop annoying me’.

This was unexpected, to decline a challenge so directly. This was rare on the mainland for accepting a duel was a matter of dignity.

“...” Li Yue looked at Ye Lang, thinking.

“Haha! Do you see this? Miss Li Yue, he is a cowardly pretty boy, how could he be worth your time?!” Animal Man grew more arrogant upon Ye Lang’s refusal, laughing loudly as if he had to tell everyone in the world.

And because of his tone, people started to walk out to the yard to take a look at Ye Lang, giving him condescending looks.

Mainlanders respected strong warriors and looked down on weaklings with such behaviour. To them, he could not even be called a weakling, for a weakling would at least agree to the duel.
