Chapter 200 - As A Man, He Should Take The Initiative (1/2)

Liu Cheng couldn't sleep that night. Well, he was a high-leveled cultivator already so he didn't necessarily have to sleep but he still tried to maintain a normal sleeping schedule. After all, it would still be beneficial to a cultivator to rest regularly.

The next morning, he stood up with his heart beating hurriedly. He had felt attracted to Hong Bao the moment he first saw her in the capital and he had thought every now and then of her after that. Meeting her again in the forest had felt like a stroke of luck to him. Now, after several years of accompanying each other, it seemed like they would finally become closer.

He stood up and took all of his robes out of the spatial pendant he was wearing. Hong Bao had seen him every day for the last five years so it probably wouldn't make any difference but he wanted to look nice for such an important occasion.

He selected the best robe and put the others back inside. With great care, he washed up, donned his robe and made his hair. He even went the extra mile and searched for an old bronze mirror to take a look at himself. He normally wasn't particular about appearances so he couldn't really tell if it was alright, though.

”She shouldn't mind even if it isn't good. Junior Martial Sister Hong Bao isn't that superficial.”

He had no idea that it was actually his face that had attracted Hong Bao and had made her join the Chun Feng Sect. If he knew … well, it was better if he didn't.

Liu Cheng took a deep breath. It was way too much time until noon. What should he do until then? He sat down on his bed and tried to meditate but his thoughts were in an uproar. No, he wouldn't be able to concentrate until he had met her. Maybe he should already go to the town? Knowing Hong Bao she might be there earlier, too.

In the end, he shook his head. Maybe Hong Bao wanted to prepare something. He couldn't disturb her before the appointed time. Actually, it probably wasn't right to have her confess to him first. As a man, shouldn't he take the first step? What was so difficult about that?

Mn … Liu Cheng suddenly stood up, squared his shoulders and lifted his chin. Right. As a man, he should take the first step. Hong Bao had already started to initiate everything. He could only do some preparations of his own and then say the words before she could do so.

Yes, that was a good idea. He felt like Hong Bao would like it. He could already imagine how her eyes would sparkle when he confessed his feelings first. She was the type of woman to take these things especially serious.

He hurriedly left his room and flew into the town. In a happy mood, he strolled through the streets and looked around for a present. He certainly couldn't show up empty-handed! Finally, he noticed a pretty hairpin. It was only wooden but some flowers were engraved on it. It seemed playful and girlish as if it had been tailor-made for Hong Bao.

Liu Cheng smiled at the vendor and bought the hairpin, not even thinking about the price he paid. He put his gift into his spatial pendant and slowly made his way over to the Phoenix Inn. By now, it was nearly noon.
