Hearing this voice, Ye Tian and Ruan Fei paused and turned their heads.
A ponytail-sporting girl with an exquisitely pretty face tinged with youthful playfulness and dressed in an aqua-blue gown came into view. Her astonishingly proud and prominent breasts were particularly eye-catching, making the blood of those around her surge. A baby face with huge breasts—that was the best description for her!
"Xu Xinran is here. You guys probably didn't know, but she's been looking for Ye Tian all this time."
"Being targeted by this little pepper means Ye Tian is in for a hard time." The onlookers gazed with fiery expressions, not blinking for even a second.
"Ye Tian, as a handyman, how dare you neglect to feed my crane?!"
"If someone hadn't told me, my birds would have starved to death! How do you plead?"
Xu Xinran's beautiful eyes were filled with anger, her pretty face flushed and furious. With hands on her hips, she wore an interrogative expression. Her breathtaking, towering breasts were exceptionally conspicuous. She knew who Ye Tian was because his reputation in the outer sect had been quite well-known before.
"Oh my sweet goodness, it's this little demoness!" Ruan Fei's expression startled, and he clicked his tongue in secret!
Ye Tian finally dawned on him that these must have been the ones he hadn't fed last time, though he also wondered what background this master had—to be merely at the Peak Martial Disciple and yet own flying cranes.
"I have already been reinstated as an outer sect disciple, so naturally I am no longer responsible for that," Ye Tian said righteously, shaking his token. In his heart, however, he was pondering how to keep this master from hounding him relentlessly.
Xu Xinran's long eyelashes blinked, her large eyes flashing as she was momentarily stunned. She had heard that Ye Tian's cultivation had regressed, but she hadn't expected him to recover to the Martial Disciple realm so quickly. She thought to herself: just how immense was this kind of talent?
"That's right, Ye Tian was away at that time, and besides, he's already an outer sect disciple now," Ruan Fei the fat man chimed in from the side.
However, there was nothing they could do, because what the other party said was indeed true—handymen were supposed to handle those chores.
"Fatty, shut your mouth. You have no right to speak here." Xu Xinran bit her lower lip, a hint of chilliness in her pretty eyes. No matter what, she was going to teach him a lesson.
Instantly, a long whip appeared in her hand. Channeling it immediately, it transformed into a long snake and lashed outward.
Crack!
As the long whip was fiercely driven, it danced through midair, causing the air currents to burst apart as it descended right toward Ruan Fei's position.
Startled, Ruan Fei violently dodged aside. With a loud *bang*, the whip struck the bluestone pavement, sending sparks flying in all directions.
His complexion turned ugly, and he glared at Xu Xinran with a trace of anger. He hadn't expected her to attack without the slightest hesitation.
Ye Tian's complexion also turned ugly. The fat man was his brother and had spoken up to clear his name, only to draw the other's displeasure.
His expression sinking, his eyes cold, Ye Tian said, "Even if I didn't feed your crane, there's no need to resort to this kind of attack. Besides, I wasn't even there that day and only just got back."
"Hmph, I don't care. You let my crane go hungry, so I'm going to teach you a lesson." Xu Xinran's beautiful eyes were filled with annoyance; she felt that Ye Tian was still speaking so casually despite being in the wrong.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding disciples stepped back a bit, as if waiting to watch a good show.
Sure enough, Xu Xinran's slender, jade-like hand channeled the long whip in her grip. Light flickered like a maddened poisonous snake, and with a flick of her dainty arm, the whip carried a powerful attack as it descended upon Ye Tian.
Crack!
A crisp sound echoed through the air, resembling a long sword slicing through the air currents, its offensive momentum piercingly cold.
Seeing the long whip descending at a blistering speed, Ye Tian immediately took action. Employing Shadow Flow, he transformed into an afterimage and easily dodged the blow.
With a *boom*, the bluestone shattered this time, sending stone fragments flying like sparkling, scorching lights while turbulent air currents rippled outward.
Ye Tian's expression turned unsightly as well.
If that strike had landed on him, even with his formidable physique, it would have hurt. He hadn't expected her to be playing for keeps.
The surrounding disciples held their breath, thinking that if Ye Tian would just admit his mistake, he wouldn't have to suffer. Clearly, they had thought wrong.
Ding!
[System]: Detected the opponent's anger and the host's anger.
"Scold the opponent as a big boob, and you will receive a reward!"
"Reward One: A Profound-tier flight martial skill!"
"Reward Two: Reward the host with an incomparably handsome appearance!"
Ye Tian felt a bit nervous inside, but decisively chose the flight martial skill. He was already handsome enough!
And a flight martial skill meant he didn't need to resort to sword-flying; before reaching the Martial General realm, it counted as a top-tier escape skill.
"You still dare to dodge!"
Xu Xinran's expression startled; gritting her teeth and seeing that Ye Tian had evaded her attack, she grew even more exasperated. Stamping her straight leg, power radiated across her entire body as she pushed her energy to the absolute limit.
Whoosh!
The whip whistled, carrying a gale behind it like a cleaving sword qi, leaving behind an arc that seemed to tear space itself apart.
How could Ye Tian let her hit him? Moving like a ghost through space, he dodged once more. Deciding to go all out since things had already come to this, he stared at her and said, "Big boob, are you done yet?"
Ye Tian had called her that purely for the reward. Although he was in the wrong, her relentless nagging had really annoyed him—and besides, wasn't he away on a mission back then?
"Bastard, what did you just call me?!" Xu Xinran looked as though she had heard something earth-shattering. She halted the movement of her whip slightly, thinking she must have misheard.
The surrounding disciples widened their eyes in shock; they had definitely heard it.
"I said you're a big boob. With ones that big, you shouldn't throw a tantrum when people talk about them." Ye Tian simply threw caution to the wind.
Yet, deep down, he felt a wave of exhilarating satisfaction. Was this what they called a mischievous sense of pleasure?
At that moment, everyone heard him even more clearly. They inwardly exclaimed at Ye Tian's sheer audacity, while also relishing his misfortune.
"We're finished!" Ruan Fei slapped his forehead. How could this situation possibly be smoothed over now? His heart was filled with anxiety.
"Ah... Bastard Ye Tian, how dare you call me that...!"
Xu Xinran shrieked with furious anger, her pretty face turning frosty as her beautiful eyes spat fire. Her dainty frame shook so violently that the jade peaks on her chest heaved up and down, radiating an icy aura as even her hair fluttered upward.
What had she just heard?
No one had ever dared to address her like that to her face. She didn't care what they said behind her back, but how could she endure this right now?
"You are very pretty, very cute, and I like you very much." The scoundrel Ye Tian suddenly blurted out those words.
He was startled himself. What on earth was he saying?
Wasn't this practically pushing himself into a fire pit?
"...Go to hell...!"
Xu Xinran shrieked, no longer able to contain the fury in her heart. A jade talisman materialized in her jade-like hand, and she violently hurled it forward. Strange, abstruse runes intertwined across its surface, flashing with light as it flew toward Ye Tian.
Ye Tian's brow furrowed. His very first thought was that it was a talisman bomb, and he immediately executed his movement technique to dodge.
With a *bang*, the jade talisman landed on the bluestone. True enough, it exploded, but it wasn't a talisman bomb.
"What the hell, it's a magic array!"
Ye Tian was terrified inside. Although he had managed to dodge, the talisman's coverage area clearly trapped him within!
The magic array carved onto that jade talisman expanded at breakneck speed, releasing dense, intricate webs of lines that intertwined to emit threads of abstruse and complex light.
