Chapter 365: Show Her Who’s Boss (2/2)
On an ordinary day, an un-ordinary matter took place.
A personal spacecraft docked at the Prairie Flame Continent’s space station. A girl who exuded natural beauty, wore a tight, white outfit decorated with gold trim, and carried a two-meter long sword in her hand walked out from the spacecraft. Her long black hair clung to her waist, and she exuded a calm, ancient aura. It was Wendy Yushan. She had finally returned to San Dios.
Lu Yin, Puyu, Liu Shaoge, and the rest were all waiting outside the space station, watching her arrival.
Wendy Yushan was a legend. She was among the top twenty of the Top Hundred Rankings as well as the most powerful successor of the Innerverse’s Myriad Swords Peak. Her reputation was not limited to one region; she was famous throughout the entire universe.
What was even more well known about her was her charm. Numerous people went crazy for her, and Puyu was one of her admirers.
After staring at Wendy Yushan, Puyu hurriedly approached her.
Liu Shaoge sighed in praise. “You’re very lucky, Lu Yin.”
Lu Yin chuckled. Lucky? That wasn’t really so since this woman didn’t like him.
“Welcome back, Councilor Wendy.” Puyu walked up and greeted her with great enthusiasm.
Wendy Yushan remained just as indifferent as ever and merely nodded towards Puyu. Her gaze then swept past Liu Shaoge to land on Lu Yin. “I advised Arbiter Lan to instate you as a Councilor of the Outerverse Youth Council, but he said no.”
Lu Yin shrugged. “I’m not surprised. It’s impossible to become a councilor without first becoming an Explorer.”
Wendy Yushan passed Puyu, took another step forward, and then vanished.
Puyu felt very embarrassed, but he had long since gotten used to such treatment, so he left the space station as well.
Meanwhile, Wendy hadn’t even acknowledged Liu Shaoge.
This was one of Wendy Yushan’s classic behavior traits; she completely ignored people she didn’t care about.
As she looked around her courtyard, Wendy Yushan had the same indifferent look in her eyes as she calmly stared at Lu Yin. “How’s Bazeer?”
“He’s under supervision,” Lu Yin replied.
Wendy Yushan had an indifferent reaction even to that news.
Lu Yin found that he actually hated her reactions. It felt like she thought of herself as always above everyone else, just like when she had brushed past him on Zenyu Star. The constant indifference on her face as she looked at him might hold a bit of praise now, but it only felt like an insult to Lu Yin.
“You’re a Councilor of the Outerverse Youth Council, and yet, you didn’t even know that your subordinate was siding with somebody else, nor that you’re only in charge of four Weaves. You’ve failed at your job,” Lu Yin accused without sugarcoating anything.
Upon hearing his words, Barley and the others who had gathered to greet Wendy were startled and hastily retreated, afraid to get close to the two.
Zhao Ran, who was standing not too far away, blinked while carrying some beverages forward. She couldn’t tell if it was better for her to enter or leave.
Wendy Yushan looked at Lu Yin in confusion. “Are you trying to micromanage me?”
“I guess?” Lu Yin stared right back, unfazed.
“Damn, Seventh Bro, you’re amazing! Make sure she knows who’s boss!” the Ghost Monkey cheered.
Wendy Yushan’s gaze gradually turned cold, and it soon felt like the void had frozen over, and her bloodlust almost seemed to manifest into a physical force. That force made many feel a chill inside their bones. This was Wendy Yushan’s power. “It’s none of your business.”
As he felt the overpowering pressure radiating from her, Lu Yin could do nothing other than lower his head and respond, “I’m the Royal Regent of the Great Yu Empire and a member of the Astral Combat Academy Council. Also, I’m your fiancé.”
Barley and the rest froze for a moment before running away.
The next moment, a powerful force swept through San Dios as Wendy Yushan unsheathed her blade and coldly stared at Lu Yin. “I acknowledge that you’re the closest person to me as far as family is concerned, and you’re the only person I’ll admit to being my family, but you need to take that back. Don’t ever call yourself my fiancé again.”
Lu Yin stared into her eyes and released his domain. Wendy’s bloodlust filled aura was forced back, and a golden radiance appeared around Lu Yin. It was his five-lined battle force. “Your father, Undying Yushan, was the one who arranged the marriage with me, the last member of the Zishan family. It will remain effective for as long as I’m alive.”
Wendy Yushan narrowed her eyes and the void surrounding the two of them was shredded like a fragile sheet of paper. She launched no actual attacks, but the void, and even Lu Yin’s clothes and cheeks, were flecked with tiny blood splatters.
“You’re too arrogant. I am your sister!” Wendy Yushan icily retorted, her face showing her fury.
Lu Yin’s eyes widened in response. “I am your husband.”
With a clang, a sword was pressed against Lu Yin’s neck. Wendy Yushan clutched the hilt of her sword. “You want to marry me? Fine, but only if you manage to take one attack from this sword of mine.”
Lu Yin glanced at the sword. Although there wasn’t any kind of aura to it, he was certain that Wendy’s attack would definitely not be any weaker than Liu Shaoqiu’s Thirteen Swords. On the contrary, Wendy Yushan’s skills were far beyond Liu Shaoqiu’s, and they were not something that Lu Yin could stand up to. Not being able to tell how amazing something was in and of itself proof of how great it was.
“Does that mean that I can marry you if I win?” Lu Yin asked boldly.
Wendy Yushan’s eyes narrowed. “Yes.”
“Fine!” Lu Yin exclaimed. “Give me a year and I’ll challenge you.”
Wendy Yushan snorted disdainfully. “I meant right now.”
“Are you in that much of a hurry to marry me?” Lu Yin retorted.
