“Huh!”
When Yin Ruobing had uttered the name ‘Jiang Yi’, Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed coldly. He stiffened as he unleashed his aura, staring murderously at Yin Ruobing. He growled, “You not only saw through my disguise but also dare to say my name out loud? Aren’t you scared I will kill you?”
Previously when the two were in the Purgatory Ruin on Buddha Mountain, Yin Ruobing didn’t know his identity. Now that she knew, the two had naturally become enemies. Jiang Yi was a member of Sin Island; this was a fact that couldn’t change. Whoever was from Sin Island would automatically become a mortal enemy of the Nine Thearch Clans.
Now that Yin Ruobing had managed to identify Jiang Yi, she had become a huge threat to him. At this moment in the mystic realm, there was no one else around. It would be extremely easy for Jiang Yi to kill Yin Ruobing there.
A smile broke out on Yin Ruobing’s icy face. She turned and smiled sweetly at Jiang Yi, saying, “Would you kill me? Jiang Yi, if you can bear to kill me, I will definitely not resist.”
Sigh…
Jiang Yi’s aura dissipated. He helplessly sighed and said, “Yin Ruobing, we are now enemies. Can you be more serious? Now that my identity has been exposed, I could be killed at any moment. Should I not kill you to silence you?”
Yin Ruobing was still smiling like a fox. She folded her arms and pretended to look shocked. “You want to kill me? I am so scared. Don’t come closer. If you do, I will scream.”
“Damn!”
Jiang Yi was utterly lost for words. He could find no way in dealing with this lady. Even if she allowed him to kill her, he could not bear to do so. He sat down and said, “Forget it, forget it. If you want to expose me, I give up. It is my bad luck that I encountered you.”
Giggle!
Yin Ruobing looked like a general that had won a battle, smiling broadly. She walked over and looked at Jiang Yi curiously. “Jiang Yi, where have you been these two years? Big Sister Chan and I had both thought that you had been captured or killed by the North Thearch.”
Jiang Yi smiled coldly and said, “I have so many abilities and tricks up my sleeves; who can kill me? Even the North Thearch is still slightly lacking in the ability to capture and kill me. If it wasn’t because I had something urgent to attend to, I would definitely kill the North Thearch, too.”
“Look at you, bragging to no end.”
Yin Ruobing looked at the sky and giggled. She said, “Since you are so powerful, why the need to disguise at Yi San? Why did you not kill your way to North Thearch City? Use these sweet words to go and fool other young ladies. I am smart and am not like those silly ladies.”
“You are smart? Forget about it. If you were smart, you would have recognized me on Buddha Mountain.” Jiang Yi looked at Yin Ruobing and asked curiously. “That’s right, Yin Ruobing, how did you realize it was me this time?”
Giggle!
Yin Ruobing mysteriously smiled and said, “Guess.”
Jiang Yi scratched his nose and was embarrassed. He was speechless and said, “You’re guessing that I cannot guess it?”
“Hmph, in that case, I will not tell you.” Yin Ruobing’s nose crinkled as she turned and started to ignore Jiang Yi.
“Oh, right!”
Jiang Yi thought about the fragrant aroma he had smelled just now. He slapped his thigh and said, “I know! It was the fragrance. The fragrance that I released just now.”
“I guess you’re at least a little smart.”
Yin Ruobing cunningly said, “Next time, don’t even try to disguise yourself in front of me. You can change your appearance, your aura, and your airs; you cannot change your body smell. I am gifted and can easily sense your body smell.”
“Next time?”
Jiang Yi blinked. He suddenly laughed and said, “Lady Yin, are you not intending to expose me?”
“What do you mean by not intending to? Since when did I say I was going to expose you?” Yin Ruobing looked coldly sideways at Jiang Yi and said. She then became serious as she continued, “Jiang Yi, I could not expose you. I can pretend not to know you if I see you in the future. However, you have to promise me one thing.”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi’s hand waved, and he said, “Besides asking me to give myself to you, anything else is negotiable.”
“Bah, rascal!”
Yin Ruobing breathed out gently. Her face was flushed with embarrassment as she said, “I want you to promise me that you will not become enemies with the Yin Clan. You will not provoke disciples from the Yin Clan. In return, the Yin Clan will definitely not mess with you either.”
“This I can do.”
Jiang Yi nodded in agreement and said, “I never liked to kill. I am not a deranged man. If I am not provoked, why would I become enemies with the Yin Clan? En… I will give you face. Even if the Yin Clan provokes me, I will endure and not do anything. Of course, the Yin Clan cannot go too overboard either.”
“That will not happen.”
Yin Ruobing was very sure of her reply. “Actually, the younger generation of the Yin Clan all admires you. My older and younger brothers all say that if they can imitate you, then this life would be considered well-lived. Our clan is familiar with what you have done. Of course, we cannot support you openly. After all, the Nine Thearch Clans are birds of the same feather.”
“You are too kind, you are too kind.”
Jiang Yi unabashedly cupped his hands and said, “Actually, I am not as good as you guys have imagined me to be. I still have some flaws…”
“Bah!”
Yin Ruobing couldn’t resist and breathed out gently again. However, she quickly smiled again and said, “Why is it that you cannot behave properly? Big Sister Chan also says that you are a weird person; she will inexplicably become happy when she’s with you.”
“Exactly, that is another flaw of mine!” Jiang Yi pretended to look troubled and gave a long sigh. “I have also realized that, inexplicably, women would like me. This is very troubling for me.”
“Haha. You shameless person.”
Yin Ruobing chided Jiang Yi while smiling beautifully. Jiang Yi also smiled as he looked at the puddle of water in the distance. He sighed and said, “In one’s life, there is too much bitterness, too many tiresome things. There is no meaning in being too prim and proper. Wouldn’t it be better to relax a little and be happy? Why is there a need to be so bitter and hard on oneself? If this life can be full of happiness and good health, who would willingly want to be poor and destitute?”
As Jiang Yi looked at the puddle of water—dazed and without speaking a word, the smile on Yin Ruobing’s face also became tighter. She squatted next to Jiang Yi and also looked at that puddle of water in the distance. She sighed and said, “Jiang Yi, if only you hadn’t gone to Sin Island. Then we could be friends aboveboard.”
“If I hadn’t gone to Sin Island, I would long be dead.”
Jiang Yi laughed mockingly and said, “It is a matter of the heart, making friends with another. It doesn’t matter one’s status in life or their physical distance. A bosom friend afar brings a distant land nearer. If I can have a bosom friend—even if I never see that person again, so what?”
“En. You are right. I was mistaken.”
Yin Ruobing nodded and said, “Jiang Yi, if you cultivate zen, you can definitely become a master of great learning. Big Sister Chan had said the same thing before, too. You both are very learned.”
“I am learned, my ass.”
Jiang Yi swore and smiled bitterly. “If two had loved for a long time, why would it matter if one cannot see each other daily? This sentence is actually really sad. If two can see each other daily, why would they wish to be separated? Wouldn’t it be happier to sleep together every day, hugging each other?”
“Pft. I take back what I said just now.”
Yin Ruobing blushed deeply. No one had dared speak to her like this before in her entire life. Everyone had always been extremely courteous to her. They were all afraid of saying something wrong. Only this weirdo Jiang Yi would swear in front of her and speak using uncouth language.
The two didn’t speak anymore. Both were deep in thought. However, this little valley was too small, and the two were sitting too closely. A faint aroma could be smelled from Yin Ruobing while Jiang Yi also had a strong manly aura to him. The two of them both felt a little awkward and uncomfortable. The atmosphere was also becoming more romantic and charming.
