In the dim flickering light, Di Yishuang sat on Yang Kai's lap and nestled herself in his arms, shyly stealing glances at his before quickly averting her gaze.
Her delicate earlobes immediately became bright red, making her seem all the more adorable.
Yang Kai stared at her with an affectionate smile, seemingly wanting to sear her image into his mind.
The pair remained this way for quite some time, the world around them seemingly completely silent.
This simple act of contact had already swept away all the loneliness and longing they had for one another, only leaving behind a sense of innocent happiness.
Di Yishuang had never felt so satisfied in her entire life.
[In his heart, there's still a place for me…]
The young girl secretly thought to herself, a joyful smile blossoming on her tender face as she shrank her petite body further into Yang Kai's arms.
Inside the room, Yang Kai and Di Yishuang both looked at each other and broke into smiles.
Holding her in his arms, Yang Kai took no uncouth actions, just enjoying this warm moment they were sharing.
Di Yishuang was soft, so much so that it seemed like there was not a bone in her body, and the gent¬¬le scent which lingered about her was clean and refreshing.
Di Yishuang looked at him, "Aren't you going to open your robe or going to do something?" She had heard a lot of male and female would remove their robes during when they were alone.
Yang Kai looked at her and asked, "Do you like to see me naked?" He felt that this girl was quite pervy. He didn't really mind it though since it was interesting. But he couldn't understand why he doesn't have any lustful thoughts about her but something else 'is it love?' usually whenever a girl was near him his first thought was to 'eat' her, but he couldn't think about her anything like that, well he likes it though.
Di Yishuang blushed, "N - no I don't mean it like that." She waved her hands furiously afraid of being mistaken as a pervert.
Di Yishuang whispered as quietly as a mosquito, "Yang Kai, you can let go now…"
"Does it feel that uncomfortable?" Yang Kai looked into her eyes and said with a smile.
"Wu…" Di Yishuang gently applied his cheeks hot.
"Do you like me?" Yang Kai's grinned devilishly as he asked this mischievous question.
Di Yishuang didn't dare to answer, holding her silence as her heart beat loudly.
"So you don't like me," Yang Kai sighed with a look of disappointment.
"No, no…" she suddenly panicked and waved her hands, her eyes spinning with anxiety.
Seeing her like this, Yang Kai couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you teasing me?" Di Yishuang whimpered, her delicate cheeks visibly swelling with discontent
Gazing at Di Yishuang, Yang Kai's eyes grew soft.
"Don't need to be nervous Shuang'er" Yang Kai said wrapping his arms around her slowly sliding in the bed.
..............
Yang Kai slowly opened his eyes and stretched his numb body before looking down at his Di Yishuang still wrapped in his arms. The two had not done anything simply sleep with her all this time.
Staring fondly at the delicate girl, Yang Kai leaned over and kissed her forehead gently before lightly placing her on her bed and standing up.
Opening the door. Yang Kai Walked outside.
"Young Lord Kai, these past few days you've worked hard, are you sure you don't need to rest for a while?" Huo Xing Chen appeared from somewhere and said with a big fat grin on his face, "So, how was it?"
"What do you mean?" Yang Kai replied blankly.
"Heh heh, you don't need to pretend with me." Young Lord Huo said as he licked his lips, a loose smile appearing on his face, "A single man and woman sharing a room for a night. Don't tell me nothing happened?"
"You don't need to know, but I think you have prepared for the loss of bet." Yang Kai shook his head and pretended to be stupid.
Huo Xing Chen face ashen, "Oh, what are you talking about?" Huo Xing Chen said as she walked past him without waiting for him say anything else.
Yang Kai spat disdainfully lightly saying "Well whatever, not that I am fond of seeing a guy naked".
.............
In the hall all the members are present without worrying about the war outside.
Yang kai made his presence all the hall felt silent, in front of him was Fang Zi Ji with the Hu sisters
Yesterday they arrived but due to of being with Di Yishuang they were kept in the Guest Hall
"Brother Yang!" Fang Zi Ji smiled lightly and cupped his fists.
After exchanging some greetings, Fang Zi Ji quickly retreated a distance and met up with Huo Xing Chen and the others in the hall.
The crowd behind Huo Xing Chen were also very interested in this group of three, but seeing Hu Jiao Er's complicated expression, none of them rushed up to disturb them. Instead taking turns greeting Fang Zi Ji, they were secretly listening in on the nearby conversation.
"Why did you hide from me though you've already arrived here?" Yang Kai asked Hu Jiao Er.
"Who is hiding from you?" Hu Jiao Er snorted, her face blushing bright red.
"You really weren't hiding from me?" Yang Kai's mouth curled into a smile as he stepped forward toward her.
"Of course not…" Hu Jiao Er muttered.
"Good. Since that's the case, then you're welcome to the house with me." Yang Kai said
Hu Jiao Er said, "I'm going."
"Mei Er, how about you?" Yang Kai smiled and asks.
"I'll go too!" Hu Mei Er nodded repeatedly.
Yang Kai nodded.
"This… seems like they're falling." Huo Xing Chen whispered as he stealthily observed.
"Nope, they've already fallen." Fang Zi Ji grinned meaningfully.
"Hahaha, good, I approve!" The Huo Family Young Lord said as he opened his signature folding fan.
............….
A thousand kilometers away from War City, on the second floor of a city restaurant
"This old master is starving." The middle-aged man muttered bitterly as his beady eyes swept over the guests on the second floor, his throat undulating in a rather pronounced fashion as the expression on his face constantly showed signs of struggle, cursing his foul luck in his heart.
"If this was still the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land I could just do whatever I wanted." The middle-aged man sighed again.
The store's waiter brought over new pitchers of wine and swept away the empties before hurriedly retreating. Whenever he was near this middle-aged person who was nothing but bone and skin, the waiter couldn't help feeling like his life was in imminent danger, almost as if this middle-aged man would suddenly transform into a devil and swallow him whole.
As the middle-aged man was wallowing in his unhappiness, an interesting conversation was happening next to him.
A moment later, the cultivators on the second floor were divided into two camps and were noisily arguing.
Only the middle-aged man who sat by the window remained silent as the argument raged, but the light that flickered in his eyes was gradually becoming more and more dangerous as time passed.
The crowd quarreled for quite a while but obviously nothing was resolved.
The cultivator who started this whole debate was now thoroughly worked up and turned to the silent middle-aged man and asked, "Hey you, who do you think is the Central Capital's eighth Young Lord?"
"You're asking this old master?" The middle-aged man grinned and asked.
"Yes, you should say something too. Even if you've been silent the whole time, you obviously have your own opinion. Let all of us hear it! But… you know… at your age, claiming to be an old master, hahahaha!"
Everyone else also laughed a bit, wondering why this middle-aged person was pretending to be some wise old man.
The second floor suddenly calmed down as everyone's eyes fixed on the middle-aged man, waiting for him to add his opinion.
"Obliviously, Lord Yang Kai is the one who is going to emerge victorious and going to be the best powerhouse in the Inheritance war." The middle-age man claimed proudly.
Everyone was stunned, even the group of people who were impressed with Yang Kai's recent display felt that this middle-aged man was exaggerating a bit too much and shook their heads .
Saying Yang Kai was the first person in the Central Capital's younger generation wasn't beyond debate, but to say he would be this world's First Powerhouse was going too far.
There was no end to the martial path, even until now, none of the top masters at the Above Immortal Ascension Boundary had ever claimed to be invincible.
"This crazy old man…" The cultivator who first supported Liu Qing Yao said disdainful. "What kind of nonsense is he spewing, what shit does Yang Kai count for? Actually saying he'll be the world's first in the future…"
But before he had finished his sentence, he suddenly froze, almost as if his throat was caught by an invisible force rendering him unable to speak.
Everyone turned to look at him and couldn't help paling.
They saw the face of this cultivator become dark in the blink of an eye, as if he had been poisoned, and his eyes became red as blood began flowing out of his seven orifices.
The next moment, a visible energy flew out from the top of this person's head and erratically circled the room as the middle-aged man's eyes gleamed.
The middle-aged man then opened his mouth and directly swallowed this energy form into his belly.
With a loud thump, the dark faced cultivator fell to the floor, dead.
A chill gripped everyone's heart, making all the cultivators on the second floor feel like they had been plunged into an icehouse.
No one knew how this man died, but from the scene just now, everyone was clear that the culprit was this horrifying middle-aged man.
Terror, fear, panic, and utter mayhem suddenly broke out and quickly shrouded the entire restaurant.
The middle-aged man lowered his head and a wicked, grating laughter slowly leaked from his throat. When this laughter reached the surrounding cultivators, their Blood Force roiled, as if the blood in their veins was boiling.
"Jie jie jie jie…"
The maniacal laughter rapidly grew louder and more insane.
"This old master is starving, and since you've offered yourselves up, this old master won't be polite! Afterwards, if Young Master pursues this matter, this old master also has an excuse!" The middle-aged man muttered as he remained in his chair.
*Pa pa pa…*
In a flash, the second floor of the restaurant had become a scene straight out of hell and more than twenty cultivators had died!
The surviving members shivered in fear but none of them could muster enough courage to run away; much less rebel. All of them staring at the middle-aged man in pure terror.
"Still not enough!" The middle-aged man patted his belly, his face showing a clear look of not being full as he glanced around at the dozens of people who were still alive.
When his eyes swept over the crowd, everyone immediately knelt down on the ground and vigorously kowtowed, begging for mercy.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, and then for some unknown reason, he didn't finish them off, his body dissolving into a black mist and disappearing from everyone's sight.
After he left, the cultivators who survived looked at each other with astonished expression, none of them understanding why this man had let them go.
Judging from the cruel and merciless methods he had just demonstrated, he obviously wouldn't bat an eye at killing a few dozen more people, but he didn't do so.
As the survivors began examining each other, all of them were surprised to find that the people who had been spared seemed to be the ones who had just supported Yang Kai, while those who opposed Yang Kai were all dead.
Being able to escape this tribulation, all of them thanked the Heavens for their luck.
After coming to grips with the fact that they were still alive, everyone began noticing the blood and guts which they were all but bathed in and couldn't help throwing up the food they had just ate.
These cultivators weren't inexperienced people who had never seen bloodshed before, but none of them had ever witnessed such a horrible scene!
Everyone who had died had basically become scattered chunks of meat…
Outside the restaurant, a black mist suddenly appeared and the middle-aged man's form gradually condensed. Staring in the direction of War City a thousand kilometers away, he grinned and whispered under his breath, "After such a long time, I wonder if Young Master will be surprised by this old master's new look!"
Saying so, his expression suddenly sank as he muttered, "I hope Young Master won't blame me for being late. If I'd only known, I wouldn't have stopped over in the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land for so long…"
