Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: Zhuo Yangyang, Irreversibly Strayed from the Path (2nd Update)

An Yan returned to Magic Treasures Pavilion, Xue An walked out of his room and went straight to Zhuo Yangyang’s residence. After a moment’s contemplation, he actually knocked on the door.

At this moment, Zhuo Yangyang was sitting on her bed, gazing anxiously at the starry sky outside the window.

Though she had resolved to accompany Xue An to the banquet tomorrow,

her heart was still filled with unease.

Especially since tomorrow’s banquet would likely not only be attended by the Zhuo Family, but also people from Tian Fu Pavilion and other noble families.

What would happen at that time was truly unpredictable.

These thoughts caused Zhuo Yangyang so much worry that she found it hard to fall asleep.

It wasn’t until the knocking began that Zhuo Yangyang jerked slightly, coming back to her senses, and couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Who could it be at such a late hour?

As she contemplated, Zhuo Yangyang asked in a low voice, ”Who is it?”

After a brief pause, a calm voice came from outside, ”It’s me!”

Zhuo Yangyang was startled upon hearing this.

It was Lord Xue. What could he want with her at this late hour?

Could it be...

Zhuo Yangyang’s thoughts began to stray uncontrollably.

In fact, for a while now, Zhuo Yangyang had harbored a significant doubt in her heart.

That doubt was why Lord Xue was helping her so wholeheartedly.

If Xue An had merely happened to save her in the Sea of Divine Wrath, then why did he rescue her again at the Zhuo Family’s place, crushing Xu Bao, who had ill intentions, to pieces?

Could it be because he had feelings for her?

In fact, Meng Lei had once asked her this in private.

Because Meng Lei too had always thought that Xue An was smitten with Zhuo Yangyang, given her stunning beauty.

But in reality, Xue An had always kept his distance from Zhuo Yangyang, and seldom even spoke excessively to her.

This left Meng Lei puzzled as well, unable to understand Xue An’s true motives.

It was not until today, when she saw Xue An taking a sudden beauty of peerless grace, along with two maids, out shopping,

that Zhuo Yangyang finally understood that her previous thoughts were nothing more than wishful thinking.

She realized that, in both looks and demeanor, the woman by Xue An’s side effortlessly outshone her.

This disparity made Zhuo Yangyang feel utterly inferior, and even more lost in her heart.

However, that doubt only deepened, because as a girl who had grown up navigating the tumultuous business world, Zhuo Yangyang firmly believed there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Only after hearing that the one knocking was Xue An did Zhuo Yangyang’s heart suddenly stir, and she felt as though she had finally understood something.

No matter how beautiful a man’s woman might be, they can never completely suppress their restless heart.

Even though she didn’t possess that lady’s earth-shattering beauty or peerless figure,

perhaps she would still be a decent supplement?

What was she considering herself to be? A dispensable tool for venting?

These thoughts tangled in Zhuo Yangyang’s mind, leaving her somewhat delirious for a moment.

Then, Xue An’s indifferent voice came from outside once more, ”Miss Yangyang, please open the door, I have something to tell you.”

Zhuo Yangyang clenched her teeth together, a hint of humiliation shining in her eyes, and her hand balled into a tight fist.

But moments later, she approached like a deflated ball, her expression dimmed as she gently opened the door.

Xue An stood smiling in front of the door, ”Were you already asleep? Otherwise, why did it take you so long to open the door?”

Zhuo Yangyang, originally annoyed in her heart, saw the smile on Xue An’s face and suddenly felt all her anger dissipate, then stammered out her response.

”Ah! Mr. Xue I... I haven’t gone to bed yet!”

Xue An didn’t notice Zhuo Yangyang’s odd behavior and smiled, nodding, ”That’s good!”

That’s good? What does that mean, ’that’s good’?

Could it be he’s glad I’m still up so he can more conveniently do something?

Zhuo Yangyang’s thoughts began to stray once again.

”Um... would it be okay to let me in?” Xue An said indifferently.

”Ah!” Zhuo Yangyang suddenly realized she had been blocking the doorway all this time and hurriedly stepped aside, ”Sorry... sorry, it was my oversight! Please come in!”

Xue An smiled, then walked into the room.

Zhuo Yangyang suddenly came to her senses and then felt her heart almost leap out of her chest.

What to do? What to do? I’ve actually let him in, doesn’t that make it even more convenient for him to succeed?

Thinking this, Zhuo Yangyang stole a glance at Xue An’s back with a complex look.

At that moment, Xue An stood in the room and said without turning his head, ”Miss Yangyang, please close the door!”

Zhuo Yangyang was struck as if by lightning, her fingers gripping the doorknob turned white from excessive force.

But moments later, she resigned herself, bowed her head, and then gently closed the door, and after hesitating briefly, she locked it.

After all, Mr. Xue had saved me several times, so let’s... let’s just consider this as repaying his life-saving favor!

Zhuo Yangyang made up her mind in her heart.

Just then, Xue An suddenly turned around to look quietly at Zhuo Yangyang.

Zhuo Yangyang almost let out a scream.

Is he going to make a move now? But I’m not ready, what should I do?

While she was lost in her wild thoughts.

Xue An stated indifferently, ”Miss Yangyang, there is something I’d like to know your opinion on!”

Zhuo Yangyang took a deep breath, trying to calm herself and nodded, then said with a quivering voice, ”You don’t need to ask, I’m willing!”

”Hmm?” Xue An looked puzzled, then smiled slightly.

”So Miss Yangyang already knew! That’s good, it saves me the trouble! But are you ready?”

A layer of mist formed in Zhuo Yangyang’s beautiful eyes as she looked down and responded softly, ”Yes.”

Xue An nodded in satisfaction, ”Alright then, let’s get started now!”

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yangyang shuddered and instinctively took a half step back, then looked at Xue An with some panic, ”Mr... Mr. Xue, I... I’ve never done such a thing before, so I hope you... you could give me some time to adjust!”

Xue An looked at Zhuo Yangyang with some confusion, ”Never done it before? How can that be? How can someone like you have never done such a thing?”

His words caused Zhuo Yangyang’s complexion to pale instantly, she bit her lip so hard that she drew bright red blood, and then said with sobbing undertones.

”So in your eyes, I’m just a woman of easy virtue?”

”Hmm?” Xue An was completely baffled.

Zhuo Yangyang took another deep breath, ”Mr. Xue, although Zhuo Yangyang has been through hardships, I have always maintained my bottom line, pure as jade, how do you dare to insult me with your words?”

Xue An, utterly confused, said with a mix of laughter and tears, ”What are you talking about? I only wanted to ask if you were willing to learn some cultivation methods with me, how is that insulting?”

Zhuo Yangyang turned to stone in an instant, staring at Xue An dumbfounded, ”Learn... learn cultivation methods?”

Xue An nodded, then sighed and said, ”Yes! What else did you think?”
