435 Bone-Tempering Pill! (1/2)
”Right! Anything else?” Jun Mo Xie nodded.
”But, the establishment of this conclusion leads to another question. Why did they have to come and seek protection in an army camp if they had someone of that strength to guard them? The expert who is guarding them may be very strong. However, we can't forget that this is an army camp. So, their guardian will have to remain hidden even when they enter the camp. This means that their guardian might not have enough time to save them if anyone has any bad intentions,” Guan Qing Han exhaled a long breath.
”So, I'm guessing that they might have some other means to defend themselves,” Guan Qing Han knit her delicate brows. ”And, neither you nor Solitary Eagle has discovered what that ability is… And, that is extremely strange!”
Jun Mo Xie continued to nod.
”I'm even guessing that this mysterious self-defense ability comes from the two women themselves?” Guan Qing Han finally relayed the thoughts that had been concealed in the depths of her mind.
”This is the only way these puzzling dots can be connected and explained,” Guan Qing Han became increasingly shocked as she continued to speak, ”It could be concluded that these two women are even stronger than the peerless Great Master Solitary Eagle…?”
”This analysis seems reasonable, but it's very unlikely to happen,” Jun Mo Xie nodded heavily. ”Those two women haven't shown any malice towards us. They've only requested us to take them to Tian Xiang City; that's all. And, I'm sure that these doubts will be clarified once we get to the city. So, we only need to make some preparations in secret for the time being…”
”I only have these things to speak of. And, you're good at making the preparations. So, it's best that I stay with them and keep an eye on them. After all, it's impossible for them to always be flawless with their words and deeds,” Guan Qing Han gave a long sigh and stoop up leisurely.
Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes. The beautiful Guan Qing Han had clearly indicated she was returning to her tent since the conversation had ended… [This means that I'm going to be left disappointed… Damn! I shouldn't have bathed!] Jun Mo Xie thought gloomily.
Jun Mo Xie became even more dispirited since Guan Qing Han's head didn't even turn as she walked away. He was about to enter the Hong Jun Pagoda to train when he raised his head and discovered that Dugu Xiao Yi was still there. Moreover, she was looking at him with wide and round eyes…
”You haven't left? Is everything okay?” Jun Mo Xie asked with no sense of imperceptivity.
”Brother Mo Xie…” Dugu Xiao Yi pouted as she exploited the opportunity to come closer. ”I want to discuss something with you. Is it alright?”
Jun Mo Xie's spirit quivered. His body was also left to tremble. Dugu Xiao Yi's coy voice had made every last hair on his body to stand. ”Don't… ma'am… I'll do whatever you say. I won't have any objections… I promise!”
”It's nothing big… I only wanted… to know when you will give me a chance to ”cook rice” again?” Dugu Xiao Yi's pretty face had turned red. She was extremely shy, but she had still firmly held on… no matter how this matter appeared.
”Huh? Cook again? Cook what?” Jun Mo Xie stared wide-eyed. He was certainly thirsting to ”cook rice” at this time. But, how could he cook? His thirst for it didn't mean that he was in no position to make choices. And, it most certainly didn't mean that he was prepared be enslaved by that aphrodisiac's effect… and ravage her to ruins afterwards…
”Good lady… please forgive me… have pity on my 'small weapon.' It won't rise again even if it's tossed from side to side.”
”No! There will be no discussion about it!” Dugu Xiao Yi raised her neck, ”What will happen if you two return and secretly go over the rituals…? You will become husband and wife after that! Do you want this young girl to be your concubine? I will force myself upon you if you don't agree!”
[Being my concubine…? Force yourself upon me…? This girl is bold, but she's way ahead of her time…]
Jun Mo Xie had been beaten by her.
”Uh… you're still small. You won't be able to deal with that. So, how about we talk this over first?” Jun Mo Xie hadn't merely spoken these words to escape from this situation. Instead, they were hard truths. He was only seventeen years old in this life. But, he still had the thoughts of an older man from his previous life. Therefore, doing it with a sixteen year old girl was still a crime for him.
[She's still a kid!]
”Did you say I'm small? How much older are you? You're only one-and-a-half years older than me! So, how are you too old, huh? I'm not that small!” Dugu Xiao Yi's perky bosom burst forth like raging waves. This nearly gave Jun Mo Xie a nose-bleed…
[Ah mother! Is this my fate?!]
”And, don't worry about what will happen once we return home. Elder Sister Mei Qian Qian gave me an idea about that,” Dugu Xiao Yi's face blushed as she bit her lips, ”There will be no problems… if we do this.”
”Huh?” Jun Mo Xie scratched his head in confusion.
”She told me that there won't be any problem as long as I go back with a big belly. It might be a bit strenuous, but we can persevere through the issue in that case,” Dugu Xiao Yi's face became a deeper shade of red as she twirled her finger, and spoke in a lowered voice.
[What? Going back with a big belly?] That matter regarding strenuous or not… reminded Jun Mo Xie of what had happened earlier. And, he was left covered in sweat as a result. [That tremendous scandal involving Guan Qing Han hasn't even been pacified yet. And, this is likely to create another terrifying storm. And, if I make your belly big…]
