433 My Name is Mei Xue Yan (1/2)
The Third Master Jun had been relieved of his deep hatred since their animosity with the Silver City had been sorted out. However, he had then heard about that inconceivable secret. And, his lively, vigorous, and bright appearance had again dimmed as a result. In fact, it was like a thick layer of impossible-to-rid-of dark mist had started to haunt his aura.
But, the Third Master Jun was still the Supreme Commander of the army. So, he adjusted his emotions before he returned to the army. This battle had left the army disorganized. Therefore, he would need to reorganize the army as soon as possible if they wanted to get on with their journey in a timely manner.
The Solitary Eagle and Young Master Jun didn't return to the army right away. The Solitary Eagle had made great use of the opportunity of getting to fight with the Seven Swords. They surely joined hands against him. However, they had only helped him in practicing and perfecting his skills. They weren't genuinely a match for this battle-craving maniac. However, this fight had yielded great benefits to him in any case…
The Solitary Eagle had been forced to face the combined strength of the Seven Swords and Xiao Bu Yu in the end. And, that had surely left him in a desperate situation where he had suffered some minor losses. However, the overall benefits of this battle had far exceeded the losses. Therefore, the Solitary Eagle went his usual way once everything had finished. And, he decided that he might as well meditate on the spot to recuperate. Moreover, it was also help him imbibe the insights he had gained from the battle.
The Young Master had done the same. It had been around half-a-year since he had come to this world. He had fought many times in the past as well. But, none of those fights could be considered a proper battle. However, this fight with Xiao Bu Yu could genuinely be considered as a battle of life and death. The fight may have looked simple from the outset… but it had held an entirely different meaning for Jun Mo Xie in reality. After all, he had fused most of the techniques from his previous life with the ones he had learnt in this life!
The Solitary Eagle had started to meditate and imbibe his gains. The army also required some time to reorganize. Thus, the Young Master also sat down for a moment.
Some time had passed when an order was issued from behind. The camp had been set up since it was already late in the evening. The meditations of the Young Master and Solitary Eagle had also come to an end by now.
”Please wait. What would we do if you also leave?” Jun Mo Xie and Solitary Eagle had gotten up to return when they heard a delicate and shy voice address them.
The two men were stunned as they turned around. They seemed to recall that there were two other women in the tea house where the people from the Silver Blizzard City were resting. Moreover, these two women had been in the middle of some dispute with the Xiao Family when the army had arrived.
The Young Master and Solitary Eagle looked up when they heard this voice. And, they couldn't help but stare blankly at what they saw.
A green-clad girl stood not too far from the two men. She seemed a bit nervous. Her small hands were strenuously twisting and twinning at the hem of her robe. Her dark-skinned face didn't stand out much. Only her eyes shone brightly like a full moon. In fact, they were rather pleasant to look at. However, there was nothing special about her apart from her eyes In fact, she'd even seem somewhat ugly to some eyes…
Jun Mo Xie was aware that he had never seen that woman before. But, he couldn't tell why she still felt somewhat familiar to him.
He had the mind of a top-notch hit-man. In fact, he was the King of killers of his generations. Therefore, Jun Mo Xie would never overlook a matter even if he had the slightest of misgivings in his heart. He pondered carefully for a moment. And, a silhouette flitted across his mind with a flash of divine light; it was the Snake King's figure! However, he couldn't tell why the silhouette of the Snake King faintly resembled that of the girl who stood in front of him. In fact, this was extremely outlandish…
The Solitary Eagle was also going through the same thing, and he was also thinking of the Snake King. The two men couldn't help but look at each other. And, they saw the same incredulous expression in each other's eyes.
They had seen the Snake King in the battlefield outside the Southern Heaven City. She had worn a green dress, and had flaunted a seductive figure. But, her face had appeared beautiful and charming. Moreover, her movements had been invulnerable and strong. Even her expression had reflected arrogance and dominance. The Snake King's demeanor was that of someone as strong as a Great Master in the human parlance. So, how could this insignificant country-side maiden compare to her?
”Who are you? Why are you here?” Jun Mo Xie looked at her rather suspiciously. The Young Master Jun had already overruled the idea that this girl could be the Snake King. But, those two women were alone in this area. And, this point was enough to keep him on guard.
”My elder sister and I are from Tian Xiang. We had come out with our guards to get some medicinal ingredients. But, we hadn't expected that we would encounter so many beasts like we did a few days ago. Then, we were unexpectedly separated from our guards…” The green-clad girl continued with a pitiful manner, ”My elder sister and I managed to escape with our lives after suffering untold hardships. But, we ran into those repulsive men when we came here. They wanted to snatch us away to be wives in their family. They had even said that they would force us if we don't come on our own accord. They were very frightening…”
The green-clad girl still sounded as mournful as before. But, Jun Mo Xie detected something strange in her tone. [Doesn't it feel like she finds it funny… or disdainful?]
”You arrived at the most critical time. Those evil people were fended-off… thanks to your arrival. You're a savior for us sisters!” the green-clothed girl continued in a melodious voice, ”You're the young hero who saves a lone young lady from the ruffians. A story about such circumstances is extremely moving…”
”Er… So, you're saying that the Xiao youngster wanted to kidnap you and make you his wife?” Jun Mo Xie was stunned as he looked at the dark-skinned girl's face. He then coughed a bit and said, ”This Xiao Family's way of doing things is exceptionally different. It's very uncommon.”
”Not me! My elder sister! Her…” the green-clad girl replied in a shy manner. However, she had nearly let out her Xuan strength, and exposed her identity… [I will kill this repulsive snob in one move! I will teach him a lesson even if I don't kill him in the end!]
”Ah, no wonder… Hehe… I only meant to say that this Xiao Family's brat has met beautiful women. Beggars can be choosers… ah… what I mean is… I'm not saying that you're ugly…” Jun Mo Xie smiled.
The Snake King was graced with a delicate and beautiful body. However, she was extremely enraged at Young Master Jun's words. In fact, she was left to tremble in rage. [This explanation is more annoying than no explanation at all. It's not a lie that this brat is the number-one debauchee in Tian Xiang. I finally get why Elder Sister doesn't like him…]
She had previously considered him to be a caring and righteous man. In fact, she had believed him to be a man of importance! Therefore, she had harbored a decent opinion of him in her mind. But, that 'good impression' was swept away from her mind when she saw him judge her appearance in that manner. In fact, she almost broke her silver fangs in anger. One of the Beast Kings from the Tian Fa Forest had been brought to the verge of tears due to excessive rage…
Jun Mo Xie secretly observed her reaction. He figured that the Snake King would've either become mad… or wouldn't have cared about his lowly words. However, she would've never become teary-eyed like this girl. This was the behavior of a normal girl…
The Snake King was one of the senior most Beast Kings of Tian Fa. However, she had still taken the appearance of a twenty-year-old girl. Therefore, everything of hers would become like that of a human after she had changed her appearance. Jun Mo Xie obviously wasn't aware of this fact. Moreover, her intelligence was normally far superior to that of a regular person. But, the Green Hunter's present temperament was that of an eighteen or nineteen year old girl. Therefore, the degree to which she could endure wouldn't necessarily be much greater than a girl of the said-age unless she were to use her true powers…
This was one of the main differences between the Level Nine peak Xuan Beast and the true Xuan Beast Kings. This was one of the reasons why some Level Nine peak Xuan Beasts were only Xuan Beasts and some Level Nine peak Xuan Beasts had become Xuan Beast Kings…
However, which woman doesn't cherish her appearance? The Snake King certainly knew that she had only disguised her appearance at that moment. But, her heart was still aggrieved by his words…
All men believe that they can entice a princess's love if they get rich. All women are also the same. They hope that a man would discover their inner beauty, and not just remain attracted to them because of their outer beauty.
Rich men always want women to come for them, but not for their money. And, beautiful women always want men to approach them, but not for their outer beauty.
And, everyone would always believe that to be true love…
But, this topic is digression…
The beautiful white-clothed girl had been sitting at a distance. However, she suddenly got up and walked over slowly while everyone was talking. Even a man of the Solitary Eagle's determined power was also dazzled when he looked at the magnificence of the white-clad girl.
