Chapter 469: Embarrassment

In the depths of the valley, Li Ye noticed that Pei Qiqi was staring at a stranger. Confused, he asked, “Anything wrong, senior martial sister? Why are you staring at that man?”

Pei Qiqi had seen Nie Tian wearing the same mask he was wearing now on many occasions, and thus recognized him the moment he entered her sight.

Meanwhile, Li Ye had never seen Nie Tian wearing that mask before, and therefore didn’t understand what was going on.

Before people from the Tool Sect had come to evacuate equipment forgers attending the assessment assembly, Li Ye had successfully forged a premium grade spiritual tool, and was therefore acknowledged by the Tool Sect as a premium grade equipment forger.

Thanks to Zhen Huilan, the two of them had long since learned of Zhao Shanling’s return. After Zhao Shanling had been found and the turmoil in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation came to an end, they had come to the mountain valley in an attempt to broaden their view by observing the place where two powerful Soul realm experts had engaged in battle.

“I can’t believe that bastard is here in the Realm of Unbounded Desolation!” Pei Qiqi cursed in a low voice.

She couldn’t help but grow angry as she looked at the incomparably tempting Dong Li walking closely beside Nie Tian and the way they were talking to each other.

“Who?” Li Ye didn’t understand who she was talking about.

“The bastard with the surname ‘Nie’ of course,” Pei Qiqi reminded him.

Li Ye was instantly enlightened. “That’s Nie Tian you’re staring at?!”

“Who else can it be?” Pei Qiqi said with a cold face. “He travels here and there, being deliberately mysterious. Now, he’s come to the Realm of Unbounded Desolation. I wonder what he’s after.”

Looking surprised, Li Ye said, “Senior martial sister, that guy seems to be coming from the other end of the valley. All land that lies beyond that side of the valley has been regarded as a forbidden zone by the Tool Sect. Since he’s coming from that direction, does that mean he was wandering in the forbidden zone before the turbulence ended? If that’s the case, it’s quite impressive of him for not being killed by the Death Reign and returning alive.”

Pei Qiqi shook her head. “Mere luck is all that is. Considering his current cultivation base, if he did run into the Death Reign, he would have definitely been killed.”

“You’re right.” Li Ye agreed, and then started laughing. “I’ll go talk to him!”

“Don’t!” Pei Qiqi stopped him with a cold tone. “Now that he’s seen us, if he’s at all respectful, he should come to greet us.”

“Alright.” Li Ye nodded as he took out a bottle of alcohol and started drinking with a smile on his face. “I’ll tell him the good news that not only have I become a premium grade equipment forger acknowledged by the Tool Sect, but I’ve also advanced to the late Greater Heaven stage. Right, I’ll also tell him about your recent breakthrough in cultivation thanks to the enlightenment you’ve derived from the spatial rift in the Realm of Flame Heaven.”

Meanwhile...

Dong Li followed Nie Tian’s gaze and discovered Pei Qiqi, who was staring at them from the depths of the valley. Her lips pursed into a smile as she intentionally pressed herself towards Nie Tian and hooked his arm with hers. Then, with a taunting tone, she asked, “Pei Qiqi recognized you, didn’t she?”

“Yeah, she’s seen me wearing this mask on many occasions,” Nie Tian answered.

“Do you wanna go over?” Dong Li asked, smiling.

“Yeah, of course,” Nie Tian answered without thinking.

“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Looking excited, Dong Li clutched Nie Tian’s arm tightly, stuck out her ample chest slightly, and marched towards Pei Qiqi and Li Ye with her head high.

Nie Tian felt uncomfortable being dragged forward. Confused by her suddenly intimate actions, he asked, “What are you doing?”

“Nothing,” Dong Li said with an innocent and wronged expression. “What? Now that your old lover is here, you don’t want to have anything to do with me, right?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Nie Tian with a bitter face.

Dong Li snorted coldly. “I can tell that your relationship with Pei Qiqi is beyond normal.”

“You’re wrong. My relationship with her is very normal.” A tiresome expression filled Nie Tian’s face. “My relationship with her is just as normal as my relationship with you.”

Dong Li lowered her voice, her watery eyes glittering with charming light. “Oh, you’re wrong. Our relationship is far beyond normal. You touched me and I kissed you. Do you call this normal? Or are you saying that you’ve done the same things with Pei Qiqi? You’ve touched her and she’s kissed you?”

“N-no.” Nie Tian started to feel a headache coming on.

Dong Li’s abnormal behavior made him very uncomfortable, and he did not know why she had started behaving so strangely immediately after seeing Pei Qiqi.

“Good.” Dong Li laughed softly, looking pleased.
