359 Name Shakes the World! (1/2)
Jun Mo Xie wasn't aware of this, but his image of himself had overreached the reality. The impression that he felt he had on Venerable Mei was baseless. She hated him. In fact, it was an undying and extremely deep hatred. So much so that she would never forget her grudges even if she lived for three lives. Her hatred was that deep-rooted!
Jun Mo Xie looked somewhat pleased with himself at that point. [Being handsome has its advantages too. This senior must've liked something about me…]
”… You're from the Jun Family? What's your name? Which one of them are you? How old are you?” these words were forced out from between her teeth. But, the other side would hear her and would think that Venerable Mei was interested in him, and wanted to take him under her wing.
”This young person is Jun Mo Xie from the Tian Xiang City's Jun Family. I'm eighteen, and yet unmarried. I'm well-versed in poems. In fact, there's nothing that I'm not good at. I've learnt the political and military strategies, and each of the four arts. This young person has also studied the various schools of thought.” Jun Mo Xie chuckled a bit. He looked confident as he bragged about himself.
He wanted to add, ”I'm also fluent in eight foreign languages.” However, he swallowed those words just when he was about to say it.
”Jun Mo Xie… Jun Mo Xie… Jun Mo Xie… Jun Mo Xie… Jun Mo Xie…” Venerable Mei repeated those words like a groan at first. Then, her voice resembled that of a weep. Afterwards, it turned into a row of that single word. Her voice became increasingly loud, and shook the mountains and valleys. In fact, it echoed like a tsunami in the mountains near and far…
”Jun Mo Xie… Jun… Mo Xie… Jun… Mo… Xie… Jun… Jun… Mo… Xie… Jun Mo Xie… Xie… Xie… Xie…”
The sky and the forest ringed of that name for a moment. Jun Mo Xie's name had shaken the heavens at that moment. In fact, everything had shaken vigorously.
”Uh, I don't know what the senior wants to advise me…” He then started to feel an indistinct feeling in his heart… as if something was wrong. [Crap! Why does it feel like I'm hated to the bone? I've never offended you… I've never even seen this black robed Venerable Mei.]
However, Jun Mo Xie told himself that he would escape into the Hong Jun Pagoda if anything went wrong… even if it meant that he'd end-up exposing his secret.
That Venerable Mei was very difficult to deal with. [The Great Master Li Jue Tian was flipped over and pinned to the ground with just one hand of his'. So, I won't even be able to bear a single smack!]
[Li Jue Tian is extremely strong, and could've borne the brunt of that extremely strong smack from Venerable Mei. But, if I get hit with it… my body may remain here, but my head will fly to Tian Xiang City to celebrate New Year's.]
”Give you advise…?” Venerable Mei repeated the line, and was suddenly at a loss. [Right, what should I do? I'll smack him to death…? Should I kick him to death…? But… wouldn't it be too easy for him? My hatred from him won't disappear even if I kill him a thousand times!]
[I… what's to be done? This brat doesn't look like he can take a proper beating either…]
[And after all, it could be said this brat saved my life back then. Wouldn't killing him be a bit too much?]
”Advise…” Venerable Mei suddenly moved, and caught hold of him.
They had been around thirty meters apart. And, that was a safe-enough distance in Jun Mo Xie's mind. However, Venerable Mei lifted her hand, and he felt that he couldn't move an inch of his body. Then, he felt a forward attraction force on his body. And, his body started to move on its own. He was already clutched by Venerable Mei the next moment.
Venerable Mei's entire was robed in black like before. However, Jun Mo Xie could strangely smell a simple and elegant smell. In fact, it was a very wonderful smell. He had never smelt anything as sweet as that before. The Young Master Jun couldn't help but close his eyes as he took a deep breath. Then, he opened his eyes and exclaimed, ”How sweet!”
[This brat is still trying to take cheap advantage?]
Venerable Mei suddenly went through an extreme change of heart, and felt an urgent need to strangle the young man.
However, Venerable Mei felt the pure heavenly Qi coursing through his body as she clutched his throat. She then determined that the mysterious skilled person who had advanced the Xuan Beast's cultivation, had barged into Tian Fa and had stolen the Sacred Fruit, and had concocted those dans was related to this young man.
Moreover, he had appeared in the forest the same day as that mysterious expert had. Plus, they had a similarly miraculous Qi. So, it was highly probable that the two were master-and-disciple.
It wasn't that Venerable Mei hadn't thought that the-said mysterious expert and the young man could be the same people. But, it had been revealed to her that the aforementioned mysterious expert had a brilliant cultivation. But, this young man's strength was merely trash in comparison. Therefore, she would've never been able to make the connection between the two if the two hadn't appeared in the Tian Fa on the same day, and if she hadn't felt the Young Master Jun's Qi a moment ago.
Venerable Mei's mind went uneasily around in circles. She feared a terrible fallout if she strangled him for his cheap attitude. [The beasts of Tian Fa advanced. That was a great thing for us. Wouldn't that alliance break if I killed this youngster? Wouldn't we lose a lot if I tried to take my revenge? That fallout would come with the wrath of that mysterious master! I may not care about his skills. But, what about the Beast Kings?]
”Senior…?!” Jun Mo Xie had sensed the indecisiveness in Venerable Mei. So, he had called out. His shout hadn't even ended when ”Bang!” a tight smack warmed the side of his face. Everyone on the ground suddenly started to seem small as he soared up amongst the misty clouds, and continued to fly to a great altitude.
Venerable Mei had thrown him three-hundred meters into the air. Then, she jumped up and caught up with him. Her black robe filled his eyes as there was a sudden change of scene, and ”Bang! Bang! Bang!” he was smacked on his face repeatedly. Venerable Mei was hitting his face mid-air… very joyfully at that.
[I won't kill you, but I will mistreat you as much as I want. What's the worse that can happen if I don't kill you?]
