Chapter 529: This Fellow Sure Has a Good Timing
Xiang Shaoyun had been injured. But it wasn"t as bad as it seemed. He had merely pretended that it was bad. His body had a toughness comparable to demonic and devilish beasts. Even without the protection of his Six Goldplate Manual, he would still be able to withstand considerably powerful attacks.
He had only pretended to be heavily injured so as to lure Lady Shura over to his side. After taking her mask off and looking at the face that caused his heart to speed up, he couldn"t help teasing her a bit.
Lady Shura had indeed fallen for his ploy. The kiss seemed to have caused her to lose both her breath and mind. Only when Xiang Shaoyun"s hand reached a certain supple part of her body did she recover with a s.h.i.+ver. In her shock, she tried pus.h.i.+ng him away.
However, Xiang Shaoyun was unwilling to let go of her. He smiled. "You were the one who said that if I can become stronger than you in three years, you will be mine. Are you going back on your words?"
When Lady Shura heard that, she blinked her eyes and sank into thought. Then, she stopped struggling.
"Yes, I did make that promise, but the sect master has yet to agree to this," said Lady Shura with a rare gentleness.
In truth, as someone who had grown up in the Ghostface Sect, she had little freedom. Without the approval of the sect master, she would not easily have any feelings for a man. But inwardly, she had a decent opinion of Xiang Shaoyun. The first time she met him, he was only a third-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator. Only a year had pa.s.sed, and he had reached the seventh-stage. That was an insane growth. He seemed to have undergone some transformation as well. He now exuded a sort of charm that not even she could resist.
"Don"t worry, he will agree," said Xiang Shaoyun confidently.
A look of astonishment flickered in Lady Shura"s eyes. She nodded and said, "Um. If the sect master agrees, I will be your woman from now on."
Lady Shura was a decisive woman who agreed without much hesitation. Xiang Shaoyun smiled and a.s.saulted her mouth once again. This time, Lady Shura was no longer taking the pa.s.sive role. Instead, she hugged Xiang Shaoyun tightly and responded pa.s.sionately.
Lady Shura had always been a woman that could cause men to lose their mind with l.u.s.t and desire. With her taking such an initiative, Xiang Shaoyun instantly felt his blood boiling. His hands started roaming about again, with a focus on her bountiful peaks. Their supple and tender touch drove him mad with l.u.s.t.
He was already 19 years old, a 19-year-old virgin. He might look like a playboy, but he had never tasted a woman before. Facing such a wild beauty, he lost control over himself.
As Xiang Shaoyun"s hands roamed Lady Shura"s body without stop, she finally let out a moan uncontrollably. At the same time, her lower body felt warmer and warmer, and finally, she felt a certain part of her lower body moistening. For the first time in her life, she felt shy.
Just as the two were about to fully lose control, a voice rang out, "Lady Shura, bring Young Master Xiang to the feasting hall.
It was Green Ghost"s voice. He wasn"t physically present, but every inch of s.p.a.ce in the Ghostface Sect was under the monitoring of his senses. He could easily find and transmit his message to anyone in the sect. Lady Shura immediately pushed Xiang Shaoyun away when she heard her sect master"s voice.
Xiang Shaoyun smiled helplessly. "That fellow sure has a good timing."
Lady Shura put her mask back on and said, "Come on. Don"t make the sect master wait."
"Um." Xiang Shaoyun nodded and walked alongside her, his hand holding hers.
Lady Shura wanted to pull her hand away, but Xiang Shaoyun refused to let go, so she couldn"t do anything. Although she claimed that she did not want anyone to see them holding hands, inwardly, a sweet feeling permeated her entire person.
Soon, Lady Shura brought Xiang Shaoyun to the feasting hall. Both Devouring Ghost and Green Ghost were already seated in the hall, with numerous delicacies and liquors served on the table. When Green Ghost saw Xiang Shaoyun holding Lady Shura"s hand, disdain flickered in his eyes as he thought, This kid doesn"t even have strong willpower.
Initially, he still had a decent impression on Xiang Shaoyun, but now, all that had been ruined.
Xiang Shaoyun spoke forthrightly, "Sect Master Green Ghost, I like Lady Shura. She will be my woman from now on. I hope your generous self can agree to that."
Xiang Shaoyun did not like to beat around the bush when facing someone like Green Ghost. In any case, he was confident Green Ghost would not make things hard for him for the sake of a woman. Lady Shura looked at Green Ghost nervously with a vague trace of expectation in her eyes.
Instead of agreeing, Green Ghost looked at Lady Shura and asked, "Lady Shura, are you willing?"
Lady Shura took a deep breath and said, "I will obey the sect master"s command."
Inwardly, she liked Xiang Shaoyun. But she was a person who had been raised by Green Ghost. She viewed him as her father, and she did not want to ruin the affection between them that had been built over many years.
A gratified look appeared on Green Ghost"s face as he said, "I am gratified that you can reach such a decision. Fine, you can follow him in the future."
"Thank you, sect master," Lady Shura knelt down and thanked earnestly.
Xiang Shaoyun promised, "She won"t suffer losses staying by my side. I will bring her into the Dragon Phoenix Academy."
He still had two follower spots he could use, and now, he was using one of them for Lady Shura.
But right after he said that, Green Ghost replied, "I know you have two spots, but many organizations in the city are going to the Skeleton Gang to inquire about the two spots. Many excellent offers have been proposed. There is no need to waste one spot for Lady Shura."
"She is my woman. If I don"t give her one of the spots, who am I supposed to give the spots to?" said Xiang Shaoyun with a frown.
"You misunderstand me. What I mean is Lady Shura can enter relying on her own strength. I believe she can get through the test smoothly," said Green Ghost.
Xiang Shaoyun raised his brow and smiled. "True. I believe she can get through the test as well. But she needs to first purchase a test quota."
"You don"t have to worry about something like that. Lady Shura can deal with that herself," said Green Ghost. He then raised his gla.s.s and said, "I am very happy to be able to meet my master again. Let me give my master a toast. Next, let us drink to our hearts" content!"
Xiang Shaoyun did not have any other issues, so he started drinking as well.
After a while, Devouring Ghost said, "Young master, I might not be able to stay by your side anymore after you enter the Dragon Phoenix Academy. The rules of the academy do not allow for the entry of servants. You need to take care of yourself while in there."
"Um. I"m aware. You can just focus on restoring your strength. In any case, you have a promise with Big Brother Du, right? Just work on that for now," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"Don"t worry, when you return from the Dragon Phoenix Academy, you will see an even stronger Du Xuanhao!" said Devouring Ghost confidently.
