Chapter 971: Bravo, Boss
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
Cold sweat soaked Ye Xiao’s clothes.
[I… a Dream Origin Stage cultivator… shouted so impolitely and fiercely at a lady… who is much stronger than me even in my previous life…]
[I am still alive! Didn’t she just slap me to death?]
He felt a little giddy… [Did I truly… do such a crazy thing just now…?]
[I am impressed by myself…]
Xuan Bing was wearing all black. The big round rain hat almost covered half of her face. The silk mask had been hiding her facial expression. Ye Xiao could feel that this powerful lady was rather speechless.
That was reasonable. As a super powerful cultivator, she got shouted at by Ye Xiao. She must be feeling awkward.
[She must really have the virtue of patience that she didn’t slap me to death.]
“I am sorry.” Ye Xiao slowly took a breath and said, “It concerns my dignity. I lost control of my self and offended you.”
Xuan Bing didn’t say anything.
[Your dignity? Do you really care about that? You have… tarnished me… Where is my dignity?]
Ye Xiao took a long sigh and said, “Maybe that is my personality. I just can’t let anybody wrong me. Nobody. I just have to reveal the truth.”
It sounded like an explanation, but it was more like a self-compliment.
He just couldn’t allow himself to humbly apologize; after all, he didn’t really think he was wrong, even though he knew how serious the situation was. He would rather die than exchange for her delight with his dignity.
Xuan Bing stayed silent for a while and then blandly said, “No need for further explanation. I didn’t put that in mind. After all, it was me who started this. I made a mistake.”
Ye Xiao nodded. “Miss Xuan is such a sensible person. Impressive.”
[Sensible?]
Xuan Bing rolled her eyes up in disdain.
She said, “You said you can’t let anybody wrong you and you just have to reveal the truth. What else can trigger your abrupt anger? Can you tell me? In case I accidentally say anything that will cause another absurd quarrel!”
Ye Xiao thought for a while and smiled bitterly. He said, “You are such a generous lady. I guess if I answer this question, it will make me look like a narrow-hearted prick. There is one more thing that I can’t endure. Betrayal. I hate betrayal the most.”
Xuan Bing’s body shook again. She didn’t respond to his words.
Ye Xiao stepped ahead and blandly said, “In fact, nobody likes to be wronged or betrayed. Me, I hate them. Betrayal. That is a mistake paid with death for me. Whoever betrayed me once will never become my friend again.”
“That’s why I don’t have many friends. Not in the lower realm, or in this world.” He blandly said, “I can’t stop being afraid that someday, somebody will betray me. The only thing I want from my friends… is loyalty. Nobody betrays me. I won’t betray nobody.”
“I am full-hearted to all my friends. I won’t allow any betrayal! I detest it!”
“This is my philosophy.” He smiled bitterly. “It must sound like a joke. Pardon me.”
Xuan Bing sighed and said, “I understand. It should be the insistence of a righteous man.”
“It is my insistence,” Ye Xiao emphasized it.
He looked at Xuan Bing. For the first time, he felt that this lady behind the silk mask was a considerate person. She didn’t seem unsociable like people used to say. At least, he had a much better impression of her now.
If he told anybody about this impression, he might get himself punched to death…
He hadn’t experienced the dark horror of her ever! The horror of Xuan Bing was beyond his imagination!
She didn’t get mad at him… only because she didn’t want to.
She had wronged Ye Xiao. Actually, she felt annoyed about it at the moment.
Ye Xiao looked at Xuan Bing. He couldn’t see her face, and he couldn’t even see her eyes. However, he could feel her eyes staring at him.
In her eyes, there seemed to be a sense of annoyance, but there was no killing intent.
He didn’t feel any suppression from her.
They looked at each other for a short time, and then both of them looked away. They started to walk ahead again.
Not far away ahead, Han Bingxue was quietly waiting for them. He looked impatient and nervous. From time to time, he stretched his neck to look at them.
When he saw them start to walk side by side, he took a breath of relief.
He murmured, “He is indeed my boss. He can actually make peace to a monster like Xuan Bing… If I were him, no matter how much I was wronged, I would never dare to rage up at her…”
“That may lead to an irrevocable disaster after all.”
“However, he shouted at her… He was mad at her… He raged up… And now she is fine. She even looks more peaceful now…”
He was completely impressed!
[That is awesome!]
He even wanted to kneel to Ye Xiao. [Boss, I admire you so much…]
“Miss Xuan, you are such a generous and open-minded lady. You are better than many men. I admire you. In fact, I still have a question that you may need to answer.” Ye Xiao said, “I wonder if I should say it now?”
Xuan Bing humphed and said, “If you think it is not a good idea, don’t do it.”
She had been feeling good about Ye Xiao’s magnanimousness, until she heard his praise, saying that she was better than men. Was it a proper compliment for ladies? No. Suddenly, she felt annoyed again. That was why she didn’t answer him in a polite way!
Ye Xiao was surprised by what she said. However, he just felt that he had to ask her about it. He coughed and then said, “Well… I just don’t understand… Why did you think that I need to do that interaction method on your people to solve your problem? I only knew the two ladies, Bing Xinyue and Wenren Chuchu of your sect. I never did anything improper to any of them. I am thinking… maybe there is a reason behind your opinion…”
