Chapter 2403 - 2403 Won't Bear

2403 Won’t Bear

Xiao Ba’s smile became much fainter.

She moved her wrist and slightly smiled. “What a coincidence. I don’t wish to give you another slap today, Eighth Deity. The skin on your face is too rough. What happens if it scratches my hand?”

“You!”

Not a single person could hold it in when they heard this, especially Shu Jing, who had a grudge against Xiao Ba. However, she cared more about something else now.

She looked at the reeds again. That figure had disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Ba saw her appearance, and she was not in a good mood. “Eighth Deity, why are you staring at my Brother Yan Qing?”

This gaze… is really unsettling.

Shu Jing’s gaze turned cold, and she was about to take action!

Swoosh!

A longsword suddenly flew out from the depths of the reeds and went straight to Shu Jing!

Shu Jing was shocked and immediately retracted her hand. Then, she moved a few steps back and barely escaped that sword.

She looked at that sword in shock. That is just a very ordinary sword, but… the force it contains is extremely stunning! What exactly…

Xiao Ba turned around, and the corner of her lips curled up slightly. This is something I have to admit. Even though Yan Qing is a man of a few words and is always as cold as an ice mountain, his combat skills are shocking. Even if he isn’t in front of us, his sword is very stable and accurate!

With someone backing her up, Xiao Ba held her head higher. “Eighth Deity, you’re not the only one who can decide if I’m worthy of being a heavenly doctor. Besides, I’m not troubling others. Brother Yan Qing is my man. Not to mention helping me pick the fairy vine… Even if he massages my shoulders and rubs my back, brushes my hair, and does my makeup, he should do it. This is called romance. Do you understand?”

Xiao Ba spoke as she kicked her shoes. She secretly thought: This is nothing. Lord Yan Qing even helped me wear my shoes. If I say this, will I not anger the Eighth Deity to death?

Shu Jing was so angry that her entire body trembled. “You really—”

Before she finished her sentence, whirring came from behind Shu Jing.

She was taken aback and hurriedly turned around to take a look.

Far away, a light-green barrier faintly appeared. The rays of light moved on it in a bright manner.

It was already very dark now, so that barrier was especially eye-catching.

Detecting the ripples from that barrier, Shu Jing knitted her brows even more tightly. Why did it start again?!

However, she had no choice and had to rush over immediately. If not, she would be in trouble if something happened again.

She glanced at Xiao Ba indignantly, and her gaze quickly swept across the reeds behind her.

Even though the possibility was very low, she still felt uneasy for some reason.

I probably can’t see him today and have to wait for another chance. Anyway, this person is in Fantasy Divine Palace. How hard is it to meet him? Thinking of this, Shu Jing did not hesitate further and turned around to leave.

Xiao Ba squinted her pretty eyes slightly and looked at that barrier in deep thought.

The wind blew over and raised the token around her waist.

At this point, sounds were heard from behind.

Xiao Ba turned around and saw Yan Qing walking out of the reeds.

He held a few fairy vines in his hands. Then, he raised his hand, and the sword finally returned to him.

He walked to Xiao Ba and passed her the fairy vines.

Even though they were born in mud, fairy vines were entirely emerald green and looked crystal-like, similar to a gem. They were very clean and pretty.

“Thank you so much, Brother Yan Qing!” Xiao Ba took the fairy vine and smiled at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing’s expression changed slightly. “The person just now is the Eighth Deity?”

Xiao Ba nodded, and her gaze then turned. She bit her lips and leaned over, smiling as she remarked, “Brother Yan Qing, Eighth Deity seems… to be rather interested in you.”

“Impossible,” said Yan Qing without thinking.

Xiao Ba said, “How do you know that it’s impossible? If I didn’t stop her, she was going to go in and find you!”

That behavior was really strange.

Even though Xiao Ba had the intent to tease him, she wasn’t completely making it up.

Yan Qing pressed his thin lips against each other slightly and said, “I meant that she hasn’t even seen me before, let alone others.”

Xiao Ba lightly grunted. “That might not be true. This Eighth Deity is very strange. Besides, she seems to act differently toward that Left Divine General… Ah!”

She suddenly gasped in shock. “Is she a couple with that person?!”

Thinking about how Shu Jing forcefully requested for Yan Qing to change his name… If it weren’t because there was something going on between them, why would she care about it so much?

Yan Qing frowned for once. “What nonsense are you saying?”

“How am I saying nonsense?” Xiao Ba pouted her red lips. “You didn’t see how protective she was of that Left Divine General that day! She sounded very close to him! If there’s really something going on between them, do you think I’ll be offending the Left Divine General if I’ve offended her?”

Yan Qing looked at her. “You’re worried about this?”

If she was scared, she would not have slapped Shu Jing that day.

Xiao Ba rolled her eyes at him. “Of course, I’m scared! I heard that the Left Divine General is very strong! If he comes and causes trouble for me—”

“He won’t,” interrupted Yan Qing.

Xiao Ba lightly snorted. “Who knows…”

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Yan Qing and asked, “Between Shu Jing and me, who is prettier?”

Yan Qing paused.

Xiao Ba lightly pushed him. “Quickly say it!”

Yan Qing’s words were brief. “You.”

Xiao Ba then smiled and gently touched her face. “I think so too! Then, I can rest assured! Look, I’m so beautiful. Do you think that the Left Divine General can bear to take action against me?”

Yan Qing looked at her and said after a long while, “He won’t dare.”
