Chapter 672 - I Want Something in Return (1/2)

Xiang Yu stared incredulously at the dragon that was still half-naked. The rebuttal hadn't registered at all and he didn't know what else to say either. He only … continued to stare with wide eyes, his thoughts already come to a stop a long time ago.

Xin Lan's brows twitched. Dragons weren't shy about exposing their naked skin and he wasn't an exception to that. In fact, he liked to show off his body. Why shouldn't he? He had always had a good physique and the scars lining his body spoke of the fights he had experienced and how he always returned victoriously. It was worth admiring.

So why … did this fallen god look like he didn't think so at all? He rather seemed … put off. As if he thought that something was wrong about his body.

Xin Lan looked down at himself and raised his brows. He really couldn't see how anything was bad about him. He had clearly visible muscles in all the right places, a faint tan that made his scars shimmer enticingly and his size wasn't to be scoffed at either.

Xiang Yu reached out and grabbed the sides of the robe before Xin Lan could ask. He tried to pull it close but in his rush, he tugged too hard. His nails ripped the fabric apart, making it awkwardly fall back into place, now revealing even more.

Xiang Yu covered his face and turned away. ”What are you doing?!”

”That's what I was asking you.” Xin Lan went to pick up his belt in a bad mood and secured his robe again. It hadn't been that easy for him to follow his Master's advice and take a break. When he came to the capital and looked around … he was suddenly faced with a lot of happy couples. And even if somebody wasn't in a relationship yet, the person didn't meet his eye. He wanted someone beautiful, someone alluring, someone who could make him forget about his unrequited years of millennia and just make him indulge in pleasure. And when he finally found a woman that fit the bill and followed her home to go through with it … this stupid fallen god interrupted them halfway.

He was frustrated, to say the least. And now this guy dared to act coyly with him as if he was a despicable ruffian violating moral conduct.

Xin Lan pushed Xiang Yu out of the door, not even bothering to check if the woman had recovered from the fright of seeing a fallen god. Why should he? It had been fun while it lasted but he wasn't going to cry for this kind of lost opportunity. He just had to look again a little later and he might actually find something even better. He would need to get rid of this person first though.

Xin Lan kicked the door shut and pulled Xiang Yu around the corner. The fallen god didn't raise a fuss this time, making him take another glance. It seemed he was still in a daze? Xin Lan raised his brows but didn't say anything. There was no need to bother with what this guy thought. He only needed to find out if he had come back to finally help his Master.

He stopped when they were out of sight from the street and took two steps back as a precaution. This guy would certainly attack him as soon as his thoughts caught up with him. He crossed his arms and waited.

Xiang Yu didn't seem as if he would snap out of his daze anytime though. In his head, the scene of Xin Lan with that woman replayed again and again. Just what … had he seen there?

Xin Lan finally couldn't take it any longer. He scowled and reached out, grabbing Xiang Yu's arm and shaking him. ”Heh! Wake up already! I don't have the whole day.”

Xiang Yu shuddered.
