Chapter 275: I’m Going to Fight You! (2/2)
“Hmph! I will go alone then!” Ning Xue saw Cheng Yu’s actions, and she felt even more irritated. She harrumphed before walking over.
“Sigh! Say, do you think Senior Sister Ning Xue will be able to convince Cheng Yu?” The moment Ning Xue left, a few of those junior sisters circled around, gossiping.
“I think that Senior Sister will definitely be given a cold shoulder. That Cheng Yu is too strong-willed for her.”
Ning Wushuang nibbled on her dry rations while paying attention to what was going to happen. Meanwhile, Ning Yan did not stop Ning Xue as well. As long as Ning Xue wasn’t going to cause any trouble, she wouldn’t interfere. She believed that with Cheng Yu’s strength, he wouldn’t bicker with a Foundation Establishment late stage female.
“What are you here for?” Noticing Ning Xue had walked over with bad intentions, Tian Xue asked unwelcomingly. Cheng Yu didn’t even bother with Ning Xue, but continued to sit at the side.
“Oi! How can you guys be roasting meat here?” Ning Xue argued angrily.
“What does it have to do with you?” Tian Xue retorted. “This woman is so bossy!”
“Don’t you know that the roasted meat will attract demonic beasts?”
“So what if demonic beasts come? Aren’t we the ones handling it? What are you acting so bossy for?!” Tian Xue wasn’t willing to back off as they both argued.
“Hmph! Don’t think that just because you all possess some abilities that you are that terrific. If a group of demonic beasts appears, I wonder if you are still able to smile,” In fact, what Ning Xue spoke of was right. Even those people from the Cangling Sect were dissatisfied with Cheng Yu’s actions. The bonfire and fragrance of roasting meat would attract demonic beasts easily. It wouldn’t matter if it was just one or two of them. But it would be a disaster if a group of demonic beasts were to appear. Therefore, this was also why they had only brought dry rations whenever they headed out to train and would hardly bring along any meat. At most, they would bring along some cooked food.
Cooking without any restraint in the wilderness was hardly seen. Not everyone had the courage Cheng Yu had. And not everyone possessed the kind of abnormal strength Cheng Yu could display. But then, how could Tian Xue and Tian Xing not know of this. At that time, they also had the same concern. But after following Cheng Yu, all such concerns were tossed aside. Cheng Yu’s strength was out of the ordinary with his countless treasures. Ever since they started following Cheng Yu, they had always been protected by him. Whenever there was any danger, they would hide inside the Mountain River Diagram. When there weren’t anymore dangers, they would come out. Although they lost a lot of opportunity to grow, it was still a lot safer and they had gotten used to such a comfortable training experience.
Hearing Ning Xue’s words, Tian Xue didn’t stop but continued to roast her meat.
“If you have the ability, you can also roast as well. If not, shut your mouth and scram!” Cheng Yu rotated the meat as he sprinkled the seasonings on it constantly. Instantly, a fragrance assaulted their nostrils.
“Gruuuuuuu!” It had been a long time since Ning Xue had tasted meat. When she sniffed the fragrance from the roasted meat, she gulped a mouthful of saliva in.
“What? You wanna eat?” Although the voice from the gulping of saliva was very soft, Cheng Yu was still able to hear it clearly. When he noticed Ning Xue had been staring at the meat in his hand, he inquired.
“Hmph! Who wants to eat that smelly meat of yours?” Ning Xue saw Cheng Yu’s expression and knew that her embarrassing act had been discovered. She couldn’t help but blush as she disputed him.
“Since you don’t want to eat, then please return,” Cheng Yu gave her a smile.
“Why are you so unreasonable? Even if you are strong, you should at least consider others’ safety!” Hearing how Cheng Yu was chasing her away, Ning Xue spoke disapprovingly.
“Since when had I said that I’m reasonable? If not, please don’t take me as a good samaritan!” Cheng Yu retorted.
“You…!” Ning Xue was furious but had no idea how to refute his argument. The most irritating thing in the world was not the person quarreling with you, but was someone who didn’t seem to care no matter how much you scolded him, so much so that he treated your words like a joke. This caused one to be furious. For someone to be scolding you, it signified that you had caused the other party to feel unhappy. But if you are to scold the other party and yet the other party wasn’t going to get angry about it but instead, he took your scolding as a kind of praise, the situation would be as if you had picked up a stone and smashed it on top of your own foot. Originally, you were supposed to anger the other person, but you are the one getting angered instead.
What was more vexing was that all your anger and wrath were assembled within you, but you couldn’t vent it. This was the most painful part. This was exactly what Ning Xue was feeling right now. She was extremely angry and wanted to scold Cheng Yu. However, Cheng Yu kept on smiling, making her even angrier. She was suspecting if Cheng Yu had any temper at all.
“You are truly angering me to death! I’m going to fight you!” Ning Xue wasn’t able to win the debate against Cheng Yu. So she wanted to destroy the meat in Cheng Yu’s hand to get her revenge. With a shout, she charged over.
