55 Behaving Like A Rogue (1/2)

She finally understood what was happening. It had turned out that Jun Mo Xie was also after the Meteoric Iron. However, he was worried that she would buy the iron first. Thus, he had proposed to pay for it. And now that the payment was done, he had actually wanted to just give her a block of ordinary Tempered Steel Iron.

Scrap iron? Why don’t you try to find me a few of these scrap iron?

This despicable Jun Mo Xie! By having the excuse of paying for the iron, he tricked me to gain possession of the Meteoric Iron!

It just so happened that she was also not thinking clearly at the moment and didn’t mention what iron she wanted, which was why he was able to trick her…

”Jun Mo Xie!!” Dugu Xiao Yi screamed, her pretty eyes bulging out widely. ”Do you wish to die?”

”A false accusation,” Jun Mo Xie spread out his arms as he shrugged, a hint of innocent roguishness present on his face. ”What are you talking about, Miss Dugu? Of these two, I have already given you the bigger one, what more do you want? You had wanted to buy iron, and I have graciously bought it for you. And yet, you are able to curse at me… you… you are being too unjust towards me!”

”You! …good… very good! Jun Mo Xie, you sure have guts! If you ever end up in my hands. I… I will never forgive you!”

Dugu Xiao Yi bit her plump lips as her whole body trembled as her chest rose up and down. She was angered to the point of tears. Tears appeared in the corner of her eyes before finally falling down.

Jun Mo Xie felt rather awkward. In the first place, Dugu Xiao Yi was the one who had wanted to buy the iron. But he had used an tricked a little girl into giving him the iron which simply felt wrong. He tried to comfort her.

”What are you crying for? How about this? When I have started forging my weapon, I will make a precious blade for you as well. After that, I will send it straight to your residence. So, let us just call it even, all right?”… Although Jun Mo Xie was a man of many talents, comforting women was definitely not one of his.

”Who wants your stinky blade?” Dugu Xiao Yi did not know that Jun Mo Xie was actually making a real promise to her and merely thought that he was ridiculing her. She finally broke down in tears, her heart full of grief. ”This iron was obviously mine in the first place...”

Truthfully, Dugu Xiao Yi was not crying due to the loss of the Meteoric Iron. Even though the Meteoric Iron was something rare, it was honestly not too difficult to obtain considering the power and influence of the Dugu Family.

The real reason she was crying was that of Jun Mo Xie’s detestable actions. Putting on the airs of a debauchee, he had interrupted her in the midst of her purchase, then tricking her by offering to pay for it. He had also made her feel confused over her opinion about him and once everything was said and done, he ended up offering a piece of trash to her! To add insult to injury, he even put on a pious expression as he said.

‘You want the big one and I want the small one… How can size be used to value this type of item?’

Of course, the biggest reason was that she had ended up falling for his trick. She herself became confused after seeing his pretentious portrayal of a debauchee and ended up being fooled by him…

Beads of tears fell down her face, signifying just how heartbroken Dugu Xiao Yi was feeling. She looked at Jun Mo Xie who was standing there like a wooden pole.

He is not even bothering to comfort me!

This made Dugu Xiao Yi even sadder, which turned her silent cry into her bawling her eyes out.

”Urgh, stop crying already, your face becomes twisted up when you cry and it end up becoming ugly!” Jun Mo Xie frowned, his eyes squinting. Apparently, this was how he intended to console her.

”I want to cry! I don’t need you to care! You… you… wuwuwu… who did you say is ugly?!”

The word ‘ugly’ was definitely a taboo word for girls. There were many things in this world which could be endured and there were also things which could never be endured! Dugu Xiao Yi suddenly stopped crying, her glare like fire straight onto Jun Mo Xie.

In an instant, anger rose up from within the depths of her heart and from the anger came an extreme loathing. She caught hold of Jun Mo Xie’s arm, opened up her small mouth and bit down hard on Jun Mo Xie’s arm. After biting his arm, she continued crying.

”Ow! Ow!…” Jun Mo Xie’s facial muscles twitched as he gritted his teeth, hissing. ”I... Fuck!”

Dugu Xiao Yi continued staring at him with eyes filled with tears as she gave a small sob. ”You… what did you just say?” She did not hear it clearly. Jun Mo Xie spread his arms as he gritted his teeth in pain. Dugu Xiao Yi then continued sobbing.

Jun Mo Xie scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders and was unable to think of any solution.

In his previous life, Jun Mo Xie was a killer and did not have any romantic encounters. If there were any complications, they were usually solved by using money… Once his job was completed, he would then have nothing to do with the client, parting ways without forming any sort of relations.
