Translator: OnGoingWhyEditor: Vermillion
Snow was swirling about and falling from the sky, accompanied with the rustling winter wind. Deep inside the Xiao manor, between the pavilions, there was a small path leading toward a tranquil location.
Inside of a lavish room, candles were lit and the fireplace was burning, increasing the temperature within the room to a rather warm level. A censer was placed in front of a wooden window that was propped open. The smoke from the censer lingered in the area, filling the entire room with the smell of incense.
A delicate figure with a fur cloak draped over her shoulders was sitting next to the censer and a zither was placed in front of her. Her flawless hands were dexterously moving about on the zither, just like a transcendent elf.
The melodious sound of the zither drifted out and was pleasing to the ears, like the sound of raindrops falling on lotus leaves, causing its listeners to fall into enchantment.
There was a faint trace of sorrow on Xiao Yanyu's flawlessly beautiful face. As her beautiful fingers played the zither, her emotions seemed to have turned into notes and drifted out from the zither. The bangs of her hair spilled over her eyes, covering half of her facial features which was like that of a banished immortal.
Xiao Xiaolong's figure walked into the room. He brushed away the snow that accumulated on him and softly said with a smile, ”Elder sister, you're playing the zither in mother's room again. Aren't you worried about disturbing mother?”
The sound of the zither stopped and was followed by a sigh. ”If only it could disturb mother, then I would play the zither every single day.”
Xiao Yanyu gave Xiao Xiaolong a glance and snappily said, ”You rascal, isn't father forcing you to cultivate? Why do you have the time to come over and chat today?”
”Hehe, father went to look for the third prince, so he let me off today. I've been cultivating so much recently that my bones are aching. That's right, why don't we go and eat at Owner Bu's place? It's been a while since we've been there. I am really craving for his dishes,” Xiao Xiaolong said.
Xiao Yanyu rolled her eyes at Xiao Xiaolong. This was probably his real purpose for visiting her. Who said he was a prodigy? He was just a glutton.
”You're really… Hmm? Who's there!” Just when Xiao Yanyu was about to reprimand Xiao Xiaolong, her expression slightly changed and she suddenly looked outside of the window.
Within the whirlwind of snow outside, a figure was slowly approaching while stepping on the frozen surface of the pond. The black robe he wore was flapping violently in the cold wind and the bamboo hat concealed his face, preventing anyone from seeing his appearance.
However, when Xiao Yanyu and Xiao Xiaolong saw this figure, their pupils slightly constricted...
Xiao Yue stepped into the room, took off his bamboo hat and breathed out a cloud of breath. As he looked at Xiao Yanyu and Xiao Xiaolong who were staring at him in bewilderment, he suddenly smiled.
”It's been a while.” Xiao Yue's hoarse voice rang out.
However, the reply he got was a surging wave of true energy attack.
Xiao Yanyu's face was filled with rage as she stared at Xiao Yue. Xiao Xiaolong was also vigilantly staring at Xiao Yue, not knowing his purpose for suddenly appearing within the Xiao manor.
”You still dare to come back! You still have the cheek to come back!” Xiao Yanyu shouted.
The smile on Xiao Yue's face disappeared and he indifferently gave Xiao Yanyu a glance. As the corners of his mouth widened, the tip of his toes brushed against the ground and as if a burst of wind had just blew past, he appeared next to Xiao Yanyu.
Xiao Yanyu's entire body froze. She felt as if the true energy within her body was being impeded by a terrifying mass of sword energy and was completely immovable. Her body could not even move a single inch, so she could only vehemently stare at Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue smiled in a carefree manner. He stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Yanyu's head. Thereafter, he slowly walked past her and headed in the direction of the person lying on the bed.
”What are you trying to do!” A touch of redness emerged on Xiao Xiaolong's fair skin as he blocked Xiao Yue's path in a huff, preventing him from going any further.
”Hmm? You mischievous brat, you've grown up as well… You even dare to block my way.” Xiao Yue broke into a grin.
Xiao Xiaolong's pupils constricted and true energy gushed out of his body. The cultivation of a peak level third grade Battle-Maniac was fully displayed. He raised his hands and took a fighting stance...
Xiao Yue tilted his head and a hint of amusement appeared on his face as he watched Xiao Xiaolong charge toward him. He slowly raised a finger and poked Xiao Xiaolong on his forehead.
Xiao Xiaolong's figure that was charging forward was immediately stopped. His eyes widened as his body staggered backward and fell to the ground.
”Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions.” Xiao Yue's hoarse voice slowly resounded inside the room.
