Realms In The Firmament

Xuan Bing was walking gracefully, leading the way. Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue followed embarrassedly. Han Bingxue just got embarrassed, so he decided not to talk much. Ye Xiao naturally wouldn’t say anything useless.

For Ye Xiao, even Han Bingxue, such an experienced playboy was shamefaced, he could never be able to handle that. Besides, he didn’t like a powerful woman like Xuan Bing!

Su Yeyue and Bing’er were both soft and tender. Ye Xiao liked them. He wouldn’t like a tough woman!

However, unexpectedly, even though he didn’t want to talk to Xuan Bing and he even tried to stay low, Xuan Bing didn’t let go of him.

She slowed down a bit and then walked with Ye Xiao side by side.

That was normal. It wouldn’t make Ye Xiao feel uncomfortable, but it made Han Bingxue feel like walking on needles. He didn’t want to walk with them at all.

It showed lots of problems of him though.

”Ahem… I guess it’s better I walked ahead to lead the way.” Han Bingxue rubbed his nose and wanted to leave them.

He had to. He felt so uncomfortable staying with Xuan Bing.

[She is definitely trying to drive me away.]

Xuan Bing looked at him and didn’t say a word. Ye Xiao looked at him and stayed silent too.

Han Bingxue accelerated to lead the way. [I thought at least one of you would say something to stop me and we may be able to still walk together, with laughter and talks. That must be better. I won’t feel alone.]

[Well… I guess I really should go away.]

[I don’t want to get myself killed.]

Han Bingxue walked ahead and stayed hundreds of meters away in the front. He finally felt safe from Xuan Bing’s suppression. He was relieved. He murmured, ”Bloody hell. What wrong have I done? I got hunted and nearly died. I got beaten by my dear bloody brother and by his pet too. Now a woman keeps suppressing me like this. Heavens… Please… give me mercy… It hurts…”

Behind him.

Ye Xiao was in thoughts while they were walking. [Xuan Bing wants to talk to me. What… does she want to talk about?]

[What is she going to say?]

[What can she say? What does she want?]

He was lost.

[She was definitely heading the opposite way, then she changed her mind and asked to come with us. Why? What for? She doesn’t like Han Bingxue. Then why would she do this?]

Ye Xiao couldn’t believe Xuan Bing did this for him. Even though he knew he was a handsome man, he believed Xuan Bing, such a great figure, would never be attracted by a man’s appearance!

Xuan Bing said they were going the same way and they could help each other on the way. Ye Xiao didn’t believe a word of it.

[Help?]

[For whom?]

[You are such a powerful figure in the world. Nobody dares to mess with you. Why would you want any help from us?]

”What’s your name?” Xuan Bing suddenly asked.

”Urh…” Ye Xiao was surprised. He answered, ”I am… Ye Jun.”

”Humph!” Xuan Bing suddenly got angry. ”You liar!”

Ye Xiao was shocked. He was speechless.

[You have never met me. I am sure you do not know my name. Why do you call me a liar? Besides, this is the first time I met you. It is reasonable that I keep my name a secret to you. Why should I tell you my name? How could I?]

”Just say it. What’s your real name.”

Xuan Bing asked.

She sounded cold without any emotion, but Ye Xiao could feel that she was smiling.

He could even feel that she was happy.

Ye Xiao was lost.

[What is this? Is this normal? What’s wrong?]

[No way! Isn’t it weird?]

[What the hell is going on here?]

”Hmm… my real name…” Ye Xiao decided to tell her another name. ”Well… My name is Ye Chongxiao…”

”Nonsense! You are not Ye Chongxiao!” Xuan Bing seemed angry. She spoke coldly, ”I don’t understand. Why can’t a man just bravely say some truth? Are all men the same like this?”

Ye Xiao was totally lost.

[What the hell?]

[Why? How come she seems to know me well?]

[Why is she so sure about this?]

[She actually said ’Why can’t a man just bravely say some truth? Are all men the same like this?’ That’s weird… She is complaining something… Why?]

Ye Xiao thought for a while and smiled bitterly. ”But that’s my real name.”

”You!” Xuan Bing looked at him angrily through the hat, as if she was going to swallow him alive.

Ye Xiao rubbed his head and looked innocent.

He was telling her, ’I am telling you the truth but you don’t believe it. I don’t know what else I can say…’

However, that innocent look of him only made Xuan Bing even angrier. She just wanted to kick him down to the floor and beat him hard. She wanted to punch him hard and ask, ’Are you sure you are Ye Chongxiao? Are you sure you are not…’ She just felt so awkward and angry.

She thought, [Humph! Others might know little about you, so most of them will be fooled by your lies… But I know everything!]

[You actually lied about your name in front of me… Idiot…]

However, after a while, Xuan Bing started to smile. [Fine. You want to play the game? I will play with you. Let’s see how it goes.]

”Fine. Let’s say you are Ye Jun,” Xuan Bing said.

”Urh…” Ye Xiao was lost.

[What? Now it’s fine that I am Ye Jun?]

[What the hell? What are you?]

[Didn’t I tell you my name is Ye Chongxiao? Why do you… Why do you accept my most false one?]

[This is… This is so confusing. Please, sister, what do you want?]
