Although the Hundred Flowers Island was full of beautiful women, and Ye Kong and others were more than happy to travel alongside them, in the end Xiao Yufan still chose to go their separate ways…
The reason was simple—he didn’t want to implicate the Hundred Flowers Island because of himself, nor did he wish to provoke the Beixing Island prematurely. Of course, this didn’t mean he feared the Beixing Island, one of the three great islands of the South Sea.
“What a beast! He gets cozy with the beauties while leaving us out in the cold, not even giving us a single chance!”
After saying goodbye to the Hundred Flowers Island group, Xie Yuan and others felt somewhat dispirited. After all, being surrounded by a bunch of guys just wasn’t as enjoyable as being with the girls.
Moreover, the only two women among their group had eyes only for Xiao Yufan. They didn’t even get a chance to show off their charm.
“If you want a chance, go find the women from the Hundred Flowers Island later. But don’t say I didn’t warn you—those beautiful women aren’t exactly fond of men. If you end up rejected, don’t come crying to me!”
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Xiao Yufan thought these guys had become too complacent. How could they be so relaxed? Didn’t they know the kind of peril that awaited them next? They hadn’t even glimpsed a tenth of the dangers hidden in this mysterious place.
“Never mind, that woman is just too cold. She’s definitely not an easy one to handle!”
Xie Yuan was only joking around, of course. Although the women of the Hundred Flowers Island might be inexperienced in the ways of the world, they certainly weren’t easy prey. Besides, they could genuinely feel the icy aura surrounding Hua Yun.
Actually, Xiao Yufan didn’t find Hua Yun cold at all. On the contrary, he thought she had a bit of a charming, girlish cuteness. He even looked forward to their next encounter, wondering what kind of scene would unfold.
“She’s already left, yet you’re still watching her…”
At this moment, within the ranks of the Hundred Flowers Island group, Hua Yun looked at Hua Yue, whose expression had subtly changed. A faint bitter smile surfaced on her lips—what she had feared had finally come to pass.
“Who’s watching that bad guy? He didn’t even say goodbye before leaving!” Hua Yue pouted, stamping her little foot in dissatisfaction.
“I never said you were watching that man. Why do you know I’m talking about him?”
Hua Yue was innocent and pure, her heart untainted by the world. Yet, seeing her like this, she looked very much like a young maiden brimming with romantic grievances.
“Senior sister, you’re teasing me too!”
Her cheeks flushed crimson, the color spreading all the way to her ears and then gradually down to her snowy white neck. If Xie Yuan and the others could see this scene, they would surely drool uncontrollably. Hua Yue, already stunningly beautiful, now exuded a charm so captivating it could rival the fairest of beauties.
“Senior sister isn’t teasing you, I’m just trying to wake you up, you silly girl. Tell me, do you like that man?”
Hua Yun was clueless when it came to emotions. She didn’t know whether this girl truly had fallen for that man at first sight, but her intuition told her that even if Hua Yue was merely curious about Xiao Yufan now, that curiosity might gradually blossom into real feelings.
But that man clearly had other women by his side. If Hua Yue truly fell for Xiao Yufan, wouldn’t she end up sharing him with other women?
In the martial cultivation world, it was perfectly normal for capable men to have multiple women around them. But Hua Yun didn’t want her junior sister to suffer even a bit of injustice…
“How embarrassing! How can you ask me such a direct question!”
Faced with such a straightforward question from her senior sister, Hua Yue felt her face burning hot. But this very reaction made Hua Yun’s heart skip a beat.
Oh no—this girl might really be falling for him. Could it be that she had already fallen for that man at first sight? They had only met once, with barely any interaction. Feelings were indeed a mysterious thing.
Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but recall what Xiao Yufan had said—that this girl had made a promise back then. Could it be that Hua Yue had already fallen for him at that moment? That was simply too incredible.
“Xiaoyue, listen to me. If you’re only interested in that man because of some promise, please don’t do anything foolish!”
Hua Yun knew Hua Yue’s personality wasn’t mature yet, so she naturally felt worried. Fortunately, this girl couldn’t hide her thoughts well, and Hua Yun believed she could get her to open up with just a few questions…
“Promise? What promise?”
“Didn’t that man say something about a promise you made when you asked him to rescue me back then?”
Hua Yun asked with some confusion, but soon she suddenly felt as if she had been tricked by that man. That so-called promise seemed to have been nothing at all.
“At that critical moment, I did say that as long as he rescued Senior Sister, he could do anything he wanted. But that was just something I said in the heat of the moment!”
Just as Hua Yun had suspected, Hua Yue’s heart couldn’t hide anything. Within just a few sentences, she had already betrayed Xiao Yufan…
“That guy actually schemed against us from the start, hmph!”
Even though Hua Yun had already suspected something, she still couldn’t help feeling a bit upset. She had thought that man had some integrity, but now it seemed all men were the same.
If Xiao Yufan knew what Hua Yun was thinking right now, he would surely cry out in protest—he hadn’t even had a chance to explain, yet he was already misunderstood by this beautiful woman again. In Hua Yun’s eyes, men were clearly all no good.
“He may be a big bad guy, but he was pretty nice to Senior Sister. At least he gave you a third of the Tianzang Flower!”
Afraid that her senior sister would get angry, Hua Yue quickly tried to explain. But she didn’t realize that in Hua Yun’s eyes, this kind of explanation was clearly taking the other side—and quite dramatically so.
“If he hadn’t tricked us from the beginning, there was no way he could have obtained the Tianzang Flower so easily. If he ever dares to step foot on our Hundred Flowers Island, I’ll definitely…”
“He still has two petals of the Tianzang Flower, right? If Senior Sister doesn’t allow him to come to the Hundred Flowers Island, won’t he have to abandon the Tianzang Flower? That item is also extremely valuable to us!”
Avoiding eye contact, Hua Yue spoke while cautiously observing her senior sister’s expression. However, the faint blush on her face had already betrayed her.
“You little rascal, you’re just afraid you won’t get to see him again, aren’t you? Don’t worry. Even if I do go looking for him to settle the score, I won’t stop him from coming to the Hundred Flowers Island. At the very least, I need to ease my little Yue’s longing for him!”
Hua Yun had grown up with Hua Yue and knew her personality inside out. She clearly understood that this girl was saying one thing but thinking another. What she truly wanted was to see that man again…
