Chapter 793: Yu Huang Protecting Her Husband
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The story could be made up, but his affectionate gaze was genuine.
Liuli Luoluo had grown up with Liuli Xiangsi. She knew what men were like. Most men couldn’t resist the temptation of women. That was why Liuli Luoluo liked the stern and reserved Sheng Xiao.
To be honest, Liuli Luoluo loved Sheng Xiao’s indifferent and aloof att.i.tude towards her.
Therefore, Liuli Luoluo could tell if Ji Linyuan was lying or telling the truth.
Although she couldn’t tell if Ji Linyuan was telling the truth, she could feel that his sorrow was real.
“I understand. We’ll take it slow.” Liuli Luoluo heaved a sigh of relief.

After leaving the blind date venue, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao rushed to the Jingdu airport and took the aircraft back to the Holy Spirit Academy with the other students. The second cabin of the aircraft was the dining and drinking area. When Yu Huang went to the dining room to eat, she met Xuanyuan Chen, who was drinking alone.
He sat beside the long table with his left hand holding the Crazy Demon Blade and his right hand holding a wine gla.s.s. His face was flushed.
People who flushed when they drank actually shouldn’t drink.
Sheng Xiao walked over and s.n.a.t.c.hed the wine from Xuanyuan Chen’s hand. “You can’t drink anymore.” A drunk Beast Tamer was very destructive. A drunk Beast Tamer who had just been dumped would be even more terrifying when he went crazy.
Xuanyuan Chen was stunned when the wine gla.s.s was s.n.a.t.c.hed away. Then, he slowly raised his head.
Xuanyuan Chen was furious when he saw Sheng Xiao’s cold expression. “Are you here to laugh at me?” Xuanyuan Chen s.n.a.t.c.hed the wine gla.s.s from Sheng Xiao’s hand and smashed it on the table. He shouted at Sheng Xiao with bloodshot eyes, “Are you here to see how funny it is that I was dumped by a woman you didn’t want?”
Sheng Xiao didn’t lower himself to the level of an alcoholic. He pulled Yu Huang away.
But at that moment, Xuanyuan Chen grabbed Sheng Xiao’s sleeve and said to him indignantly, “She said that she treats me as your subst.i.tute, but I’m not even a qualified subst.i.tute.”
Sheng Xiao looked down at Xuanyuan Chen’s dejected expression and sneered. “I think you’re more suitable to be a bootlicker.”
Xuanyuan Chen fell silent and was momentarily speechless.
Sheng Xiao pried his fingers away and said, “Look at you. You don’t look like a young Supreme Master at all. If I were Liuli Luoluo, I wouldn’t even choose you as a subst.i.tute.”
Xuanyuan Chen was devastated. “Senior Sheng, you’re so sharp-tongued.”
Yu Huang couldn’t bear to listen anymore. She nudged Sheng Xiao’s arm. Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows. He didn’t continue to criticize Xuanyuan Chen when he saw Yu Huang looking at him disapprovingly. Yu Huang walked to Xuanyuan Chen and sat down opposite him. She asked him, “Did you see Luoluo today?”
Xuanyuan Chen was already so drunk that he couldn’t recognize her. He stared at Yu Huang’s face for a moment before recognizing her. “It’s you.” When he thought about how Yu Huang was Ji Linyuan’s junior and the patriarch of the Yin Clan, Xuanyuan Chen was enraged. He snorted coldly and said, “She despised me for being born into a poor family and despised me for being so far away from her, so she dumped me.”
After a pause, Xuanyuan Chen sighed softly. “She dumped me.”
Yu Huang could roughly guess how mean and hurtful Liuli Luoluo’s words were and how proud and cold her expression was when she said these words to Xuanyuan Chen.
When Yu Huang thought about how Madam Xuanyuan was very likely to be the heavens, she suspected that Liuli Luoluo had been forced to say this. Yu Huang asked Xuanyuan Chen, “Are you sure those are Senior Luoluo’s heartfelt words?” Although Yu Huang was not familiar with Liuli Luoluo, she understood her personality.
Although she cultivated the carefree path and was quite promiscuous, like her mentor, she was also an upright person. If she loved someone, she would love them wholeheartedly. If she didn’t feel anything for someone, she wouldn’t deliberately toy with their feelings. Yu Huang felt that if Liuli Luoluo didn’t really love Xuanyuan Chen, it would be impossible for her to develop a relationship with him.
There was something fishy about this matter.
Xuanyuan Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said, “I hope that she’s lying even more than you guys do. I thought she had difficulties, so I asked her in person. She said that she never loved me from the beginning to the end. The reason she started a relationship with me was that she wanted to forget the person she couldn’t get through a new relationship.”
Xuanyuan Chen looked at Sheng Xiao with resentment.
Before Sheng Xiao could say anything, Yu Huang said, “You can’t blame Brother Xiao for this. At least a hundred women in this world covet Brother Xiao. Is it his fault for being too charming? So, you don’t have to glare at my man like this.”
Sheng Xiao looked at Yu Huang in satisfaction.
Xuanyuan Chen felt even sadder when he heard that Yu Huang was protecting Sheng Xiao. “Women are so heartless.” Xuanyuan Chen pressed his face against the cold knife and sighed drunkenly. “My knife is better.”
Yu Huang tapped her fingers on the table and suddenly said, “Have you ever thought that Luoluo still loves you but has other difficulties?”
Xuanyuan Chen subconsciously shook his head and said, “Impossible.” However, when he saw Yu Huang’s extremely meaningful gaze that seemed to be hinting at a secret, his eyes suddenly widened. “You’re saying…” Xuanyuan Chen thought of Ji Linyuan’s character and thought of some fishy aspects.
Ji Linyuan was the acting Patriarch of the Yin Clan. He was already a Grand Master powerhouse at such a young age. If he wanted to find a young, beautiful, and rich female Beast Tamer, he could attract a group of eligible girls with a wave of his hand.
In Xuanyuan Chen’s eyes, Liuli Luoluo was naturally a G.o.ddess. But to Ji Linyuan, Liuli Luoluo was just a young and beautiful girl.
Why should he compete with a group of young men for Liuli Luoluo?
Xuanyuan Chen took a deep look at Yu Huang. He suddenly stood up with his knife and said, “I’m already sober. Thank you for your concern.” With that said, Xuanyuan Chen walked toward cabin 1 alone. He took large strides at a fast pace, and he no longer looked dispirited.
Yu Huang stared at Xuanyuan Chen’s back and knew that he had thought it through.
Yu Huang rolled her eyes at Sheng Xiao. “Brother Xiao, you’re quite charming.”
Sheng Xiao didn’t feel guilty. He said, “There are many women who admire me, but I only admire one. I know who is more charming.”
Yu Huang felt pleased by Sheng Xiao’s compliment. “Alright, take a nap. When we enter the Kunlun Mystic Realm tomorrow, you won’t be able to sleep even if you want to.”
“Yes.”
When they arrived at the Holy Spirit Academy, it was already dark.
Yu Huang arrived at Di Ruofeng’s office and saw that Di Ruofeng was arranging the files. He had placed the information of the students who had registered to partic.i.p.ate in the Kunlun Mystic Realm in the same file bag. Seeing that Yu Huang had arrived, Di Ruofeng said, “A total of 120 students will partic.i.p.ate in the mystic realm’s training.”
