Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“The unworthy disciple, Ximen Wuya greets Sect’s Master’s wife.” His appellation was a little odd as he didn’t call himself the Lord of Cloud Sky City, but rather an unworthy disciple.

“Apprentice Brother Ximen, it’s been 10 years since we last met, and I really missed you. Was your journey here smooth?” Master’s wife spoke gently with a trace of intimacy, calling Ximen Wuya Apprentice Brother.

“It was okay, but there was a delay due to some trivial matters. That is why I only managed to arrive today,” Ximen Wuya said. “Yanyan, greet Auntie Dongfang and Apprentice Sister Dongfang.”

Ximen Yanyan reluctantly bowed and responded in a not-so-friendly manner, “Greetings to Auntie Dongfang and Apprentice Sister Dongfang.”

Master’s wife lifted Ximen Yanyan and praised her gently, “Yanyan is really beautiful. I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl like you.”

“I’m not as pretty as Apprentice Sister Dongfang. People call her an angel,” Ximen Yanyan replied.

Dongfang Bingling didn’t care about Ximen Yanyan’s words. She stepped forward and bowed. “Niece greets Uncle Ximen.”

“You’re welcome,” Ximen Wuya replied. Yang Dingtian was somewhat surprised by his attitude toward Dongfang Bingling. He thought that Ximen Wuya would also compliment Dongfang Bingling or even say something polite like how his daughter was far behind her. But, who could have known that Ximen Wuya’s reply would simply be “you’re welcome”?

Then, Ximen Wuya asked, “Has Master Dongfang left seclusion?”

Master’s wife said, “Not yet.”

Ximen Wuya continued, “Then, when will the Master be out of seclusion?”

Before the madam could reply, Dongfang Bingling cut in, “Father will come out whenever he sees fit. As for the exact month and date, we really have no idea.”

“However, the Yin Yang Sect will still accept the challenge. A few of our elders are able to battle.” Dongfang Bingling said, “Even the younger generation could battle. If necessary, I would also participate.”

Even the hidden Yang Dingtian could feel Dongfang Bingling’s aggressive attitude.

“Hey, why are you so arrogant?” Ximen Yanyan asked coldly.

“It won’t be necessary. No one among the younger generation in Cloud Sky City is capable of fighting Dongfang Bingling,” Ximen Wuya interrupted. “Since Master has not come out of seclusion, let’s just forget about the battle. I’ll just announce to the outsiders that we fought and I lost, just like I did ten years ago.”

Yang Dingtian was shocked by this revelation. The belief that Ximen Wuya had lost to Dongfang Niemie was actually false as they’ve never even fought before.

“Thank you. I’ll remember this favor,” Dongfang Bingling said calmly.

Ximen Wuya rebutted, “This isn’t a favor. I couldn’t defeat Master Dongfang ten years ago, not to mention now.”

Both parties then fell silent. Even the hidden Yang Dingtian could sense an extraordinary relationship between them. They seemed to be simultaneously close and distant. During his journey to the Yin Yang Sect, Ximen Wuya had seemed to be somewhat affectionate towards the sect. At the same time, he seemed a little envious. However, currently, Ximen Wuya was polite, proud, and aloof.

It was obvious that the gentle madam wanted to end this awkward situation, but she wasn’t good at this kind of conversation. She opened her mouth a couple of times, and yet, ultimately found no words to say. Eventually, Ximen Yanyan broke the silence.

“Dongfang Bingling, the rumors say that you’re going to get engaged to Zhu Hongxue.” Although Yang Dingtian couldn’t see her, he could picture her mouth saying this. These two pretty girls seemed to be born enemies.

“What about them? Since when did you become a gossip girl?” Dongfang Bingling shot back.

Master’s wife hesitated for a moment before saying, “Bingling has a contractual marriage arranged by her father.”

Yang Dingtian’s heart jumped when he heard this.

Ximen Wuya smiled and asked, “Is that so? I wonder who Master pinned his hopes on.”

Master’s wife laughed and replied, “You will see him soon.”

Soon, both parties fell silent again. Eventually, Ximen Wuya stood up and said, “If there’s nothing else, we will be leaving first.”

Master’s wife said, “Alright, we’ve prepared a separate room for Apprentice Brother Ximen. I hope you have a good rest.”

The madam and Dongfang Bingling left to see Ximen Wuya out. However, only Dongfang Bingling came back. She walked to the back room. “My mother is escorting Lord Ximen to his abode. Apprentice Brother, let me bring you to your place.”

Yang Dingtian followed her, leaving the building and the madam’s warm garden.

They exited the arches to the north. The environment was once again covered in snow. The scenery here was completely different. There were no houses. There was only a steep snow-covered mountain road flanked on both sides by trees. The higher they climbed, the steeper it became. The area was so remote that there was no one else there. The place looked like a completely abandoned part of the mountain.

Dongfang Bingling was walking in front with Yang Dingtian following right behind of her. Her beauty became more and more apparent with each minute he spent with her. He couldn’t fathom how a woman’s backside could be so attractive and how the curves of her waist and hips could be so wonderful.

Both of them remained silent, and the mountain road eventually became extremely steep. Dongfang Bingling was aware that the curves of her waist and hips were on display. However, she didn’t seem to care and did not ask Yang Dingtian to walk in front of her or to not look.

After walking for over an hour, they reached the other side of the mountain. However, Yang Dingtian was not tired. Instead, he felt that time had flown by in the blink of an eye and wished that the journey didn’t have to come to an end.

He was a bit confused about the reason he was allocated such a remote place bereft of people. The building’s design did not seem to conform to the Yin Yang Sect’s architectural style.

They had reached their destination. It was the top of a hill on the other side of the mountain. This place had been leveled into a flat ground upon which a stone house was built.

“This is the place that my father often stayed. No one has lived here in the past 10 years,” Dongfang Bingling said.

Dongfang Bingling then opened the door.

It was a simple house. Thick carpets covered the floor, and a short square table sat in the middle. There were no chairs. The four walls were lined with full bookshelves. The room was also filled with lots of candles.

Dongfang Bingling walked forward and lit a candle. She burned some incense, filling the house with warmth and a fragrant scent.

“There’s a natural hot spring behind the house. Apprentice Brother, you can head there if you wish to bathe.” Dongfang Bingling asked, “Do you need a maid?”

“No need,” he replied.

“Alright, then I’ll assign someone to send you clothes and meals. All of the books here belonged to my father. None of our disciples are allowed to read them, but Apprentice Brother is allowed to read every single book here.”

“Apprentice Brother, do you need anything else? I can assign someone to arrange it for you,” Dong Fang Bingling asked.

“No, it’s already good enough.”

“Rest well, Apprentice Brother. I’ll get someone to send you clothes and a meal soon. I’ll be busy for the next three days so I might not have time to talk to you. In three days, we’ll discuss some serious matters.”

Yang Dingtian’s heart was pounding as he nodded his head.

“Then, I’ll leave first.” Dong Fang Bingling said, walking out the stone house.

“See you, Apprentice Brother,” she said. She raised her leg, and suddenly, her figure was already a few dozen meters away. After a few more moves, her delicate figure had completely disappeared from view.

Yang Dingtian was shocked by this display. Apprentice Sister appeared to be very strong. Just to match his pace, she actually spent an hour to reach here. In reality, she could have arrived in a few minutes with her cultivation.

Looking in the direction where Dongfang Bingling had disappeared, Yang Dingtian started to feel a fuzzy, as if everything that had happened to him was all a dream. Such a beautiful, angelic girl with a body of pure skin was actually his fiancée.

Yes, she was frosty, but towards Yang Dingtian, she had tried her best to show some warmth. Now, Yang Dingtian was filled with a sweet feeling.

Back in the stone house, Yang Dingtian randomly picked up a book to read under the candlelight. He was trying very hard to concentrate but ultimately, could not focus because he could not stop thinking about her body figure.

This was the most beautiful and most powerful girl in the world. This was the purest and noblest girl in the world. This was the fairy girl that all men in the world dreamed of, but she had become his fiancée. In this world, Yang Dingtian had nothing before all this. His Master, Dongfang Niemie, was the one that closest to him, but he was gone now. Perhaps, this girl was now his most important person in the world.

Not knowing how long it had been, Yang Dingtian looked up to see that the sky was already dark. However, he had been unable to read a single word this entire time.

Suddenly, an exotic fragrance assailed the nostrils. Yang Dingtian raised his head and saw Dongfang Bingling come with a food container. It was incredible that she had brought the meal herself instead of asking a maid to do so.

She walked to Yang Dingtian and sat in front of him. Her waist and hip folded into a sexy posture.

She opened the food container and placed all the still-warm delicate dishes on the table. There was also a pot of wine and a small wooden barrel filled with fragrant rice.

“I got the kitchen to make this for you. I don’t know if it will suit your taste,” Dongfang Bingling said.

“I’m pretty sure that I’ll like it,” Yang Dingtian replied. Indeed, the extraordinary beauty in front of him had already whetted his appetite. Even if he were served the worst food, it would still taste delicious.

There weren’t many dishes, just five in total, but each was very exquisite. Yang Dingtian realized that these dishes didn’t just look appetizing but were actually very delicious. The wine was the same in this aspect.

Yang Dingtian enjoyed his meal and wine, while Dongfang Bingling sat right in front of him, looking at him.

“Apprentice Sister, would you like to have some?” Yang Dingtian’s heart was full of expectation and eagerly awaited her answer.

“Sure.” Dongfang Bingling picked up a pair of jade chopsticks and put a piece of vegetable into her crystal jade-like mouth.

“Would you like to have a drink?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“Sure.” Dongfang Bingling replied.
