MTLNOVEL Chapter 7: When Did I Get Flirty with Her?!
Chapter 7: When Did I Get Flirty with Her?!
After saying that, she turned into a gust of wind and charged at him.
Ye Shu was horrified. This Senior Sister was really going to attack him!
He had only wanted to persuade her to keep the peace.
Her temper was too fierce.
Before he could think further, a hand chop came slashing toward his waist.
“Not going to dodge? I don’t know if you’re really stupid or just that sincere.”
She put all her strength into the strike, aiming for Ye Shu.
Thud!
Her hand hit Ye Shu’s waist and immediately dispersed into a claw, frantically shaking.
“What is this?!”
She grabbed her uncontrollable hand and pulled it back, feeling numbness and pain in her palm.
Bai Rourou began to doubt herself. Had she just hit a block of iron?
Her attack had no effect at all. She couldn’t even scratch his skin.
Instead, her hand was left numb and trembling.
“Senior Sister Bai, how’s your hand? Does it hurt?” Ye Shu asked with concern.
He knew his defense had improved greatly, but he hadn’t expected Senior Sister Bai to be unable to break through it!
“I refuse to believe this!” Bai Rourou felt humiliated, and her anger grew.
She leaped into the air and kicked toward Ye Shu’s chest.
This time, she put all her strength into it. She was sure she could knock him flat.
Thud!
Another dull sound echoed.
She hugged her foot, hissing in pain, and frowned.
Why was he so hard?!
“Senior Sister Bai, are you okay? Do you need me to take a look?” Ye Shu’s concerned voice rang out again.
“You!”
Bai Rourou was furious. What did he mean by this? Was he looking down on her?
She was the one attacking him, so why was he acting so concerned?
Hmph!
“Today, I’m going to teach you a proper lesson, or I’ll be unworthy of being called your Senior Sister!” Bai Rourou gritted her teeth, her anger boiling over.
She shook her leg, feeling slightly better, and then her figure flashed.
She started a relentless barrage of attacks.
“Die!”
Rapid kicks, terrifying punches, and deadly palm strikes—all sorts of moves rained down on Ye Shu.
All that could be seen was a blur of motion in front of him, yet he stood there calmly, unmoving.
He even had the audacity to ask with concern, “Senior Sister Bai, are you okay?”
“Senior Sister Bai, does your hand hurt? Maybe you should take a break.”
“Senior Sister Bai, your legs must be sore from all this kicking. You should stop before you overdo it.”
The spectators below were stunned.
This was insane!
Was Senior Sister Bai really this powerful? If those moves had landed on them, they’d be dead for sure.
What was even more insane was that there was a guy standing there, not even lifting a finger to defend himself.
“Demon Prince is truly terrifying! As expected of the Demon Prince!” They all thought the same thing.
Huff, huff.
Bai Rourou stopped her assault, breathing heavily. Her face was flushed as she looked at Ye Shu like he was a monster. “What level are you at? How is this possible? I’m at the peak of Foundation Establishment!”
She had used all her strength, yet from start to finish, he hadn’t moved an inch.
This made her doubt her own abilities. Was she really this weak?
Ye Shu scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. “Senior Sister Bai, I forgot to tell you. I’m no longer at the Foundation Establishment level.”
“What?!”
Everyone was shocked.
“Could it be… Demon Prince has reached Golden Core?”
Bai Rourou’s expression was the most dramatic of all. “Impossible! You’re only eighteen! Two years younger than me! There’s no way you’ve reached Golden Core!”
“Senior Sister Bai, I’ve never lied to you,” Ye Shu said sincerely.
Then, he released the aura he had been suppressing.
A massive pressure, characteristic of the Golden Core stage, swept out in all directions!
The disciples’ jaws dropped in astonishment.
“Heavens! Demon Prince has reached Golden Core!”
“Eighteen years old and already Golden Core! Even in the history of our sect, this has never happened!”
“He’s our role model, the hope of our sect!”
“Long live Demon Prince! Long live Demon Prince!”
They cheered as if welcoming a new king who had defeated the remnants of the old era, claiming supreme glory.
Amid the cheers, only one person’s expression was grim.
Bai Rourou was in agony. While she was shocked by Ye Shu’s incredible talent, she also felt utterly humiliated.
She had never imagined that one day, she would become a stepping stone for someone else to showcase their strength.
And of all people, it had to be him!
The person she hated the most!
“Senior Sister Bai, give me your hand.”
A gentle voice sounded in her ear, interrupting her thoughts.
Bai Rourou turned her head and saw the face she loathed the most right in front of her.
He even reached out his hand, trying to take hers!
“You!”
Her face flushed red, and she tried to pull away.
But he firmly grasped her hand!
Then, Ye Shu raised her hand and shouted to the disciples, “If I hadn’t been lucky enough to break through, I wouldn’t have been a match for Senior Sister Bai today. In fact, within the same realm, Senior Sister Bai is the strongest! Don’t you all agree?”
“Yes!”
The disciples responded quickly.
“Senior Sister Bai is also incredibly strong! Her moves are insane. If Demon Prince hadn’t reached Golden Core, who knows who would’ve won?”
“That’s right! Once Senior Sister Bai breaks through to Golden Core, even Demon Prince might not be a match for her.”
“I…”
Hearing the disciples’ comments, Bai Rourou’s face turned red. Under the bright sunlight, she looked utterly charming.
Suddenly, she noticed something strange.
The spiritual energy she had exhausted was slowly recovering.
Looking down, she realized that Ye Shu was gently holding her hand, continuously transferring energy to her…
“Let go!”
Bai Rourou, unable to bear it, quickly shook him off.
Her face turned even redder, and she wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Darn it! She hadn’t even noticed that this scoundrel had been holding her hand for so long. He really…
She wanted to say he deserved to die, but the words wouldn’t come out.
Recalling everything that had just happened, it all felt so bizarre.
No matter how she attacked him, he didn’t dodge or fight back, as if he was truly determined to apologize.
And those words of concern didn’t seem to be mocking her…
Just now, he even explained things to the disciples, giving her a way out.
After everything she had done to him, why was he still acting this way? Why?!
The most outrageous part was that when he held her hand, it wasn’t out of malice—he was transferring spiritual energy to her!
Bai Rourou was utterly confused.
She couldn’t understand Ye Shu’s behavior at all.
He was clearly a womanizer, and they had already fallen out. Why was he still putting on this act?
Was he just playing with her for fun?
Curious, she looked up at his gentle, jade-like face. He smiled and said, “Senior Sister Bai, I told you, I’ve never lied to you. You have to believe me. I really am apologizing to you.”
“I…”
Bai Rourou was at a loss for words. She turned her head away, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.
Deep down, she had already forgiven him because of that smile.
But what did he mean by that?
I’ve never lied to you?
Huh???
So, what he said last night… was that also not a lie?
“Darn it, this scoundrel is still thinking about that!”
Bai Rourou cursed him in her heart, stomping her foot, but she didn’t seem angry at all.
Hmph! I don’t want to talk to you!
Bai Rourou turned away, her face red, and left without looking back.
Ye Shu watched her leave, a black line forming on his forehead.
Had he done something wrong?
Then, a voice sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations on completing the emergency mission.]
[Mission completion: Perfect]
[Reward: Supreme Lottery Ticket*1]
[Current relationship with Bai Rourou has risen from friendship to ambiguous!]
Ye Shu stared at the word “ambiguous,” his eyes widening.
Ambiguous? Are you kidding me?
When did I get flirty with her?!
…
Meanwhile, a seductive figure in the distance muttered indistinctly, “Shu’er… he actually held Rourou’s hand… sob…”
