âOh, that, I do owe you. Thank you, Lady Huiye,â Tianming said with a smile.
âThat wasnât sincere. I donât believe it,â she said.
âThen what do you want me to do?â There was no free lunch in this world, and she definitely wasnât one that would help out without seeking something in return. But with the bar of the divine moonraceâs decency set so low by the moon guide and Huiyue Yin, Huiye Shi almost seemed annoyingly charming. Even so, Tianming knew full well about the pride and ruthlessness in her heart, so he didnât just assume she would be that good to him. He still had to take the time to find out what kind of person she truly was.
Huiye Shi was quite unhappy about how Tianming was giving her attitude in public. âDonât you know what I want? How could a man be like that? Donât you already know the truth?â
âPray tell. What truth am I missing?â
âRight now, you stand at the top of the Flameyellow Continent. However, youâre nothing but livestock in the eyes of higher lifeforms like us. This place will only limit your growth and leave you languishing in obscurity. You have to expand your horizons. Follow me to a higher realm. Only after you find your footing in the Divine Moon Realm will others respect you. My brother wouldnât be able to humiliate you like that again, either. If you just stay here, youâll eventually become useless! Iâm only telling you this because I pity you. Stop being so ignorant! Whatâs so good about this rotten world that you arenât able to let go of it?â
She was no doubt angry. There was no way she would go so far and ignore the feelings of everyone there otherwise.
After hearing all that, Tianming laughed. âLady, I wonât regret the paths I pick for myself. I donât need your pity, so please go back.â
His smile as he said that made her fume even more, especially when the others were still looking on. âLi Tianming, do you think that just because you defeated me and made me like you a little bit that you can do whatever you want? Are you really that ignorant about your status?â
Tianming merely kept smiling.
âI know why you donât want to leave with me now. Have your woman get her ass out here!â She immediately set her sights on Feiling. âYou, come here.â
Everyone turned to look at Feiling.
âYour EminenceâŠ.â
They could see that her eyes were as cold as Tianmingâs, but she seemed to have an added murderous air that normally wasnât present. âWhat do you want?â
âDo you really like him?â Huiye Shi asked.
âIt has nothing to do with you.â
âOh, I know now. Youâre just a useless accessory that selfishly stifles his bright future. What else are you good for? If you really love him, you should let him go. Let him come with me. You arenât suited to be with him, you know? Donât be stubborn and think you can dominate him just because youâre a little pretty. Beauty is only skin deep. Only true power and status can bring dignity, understand?â
âI donât understand what you mean. All I know is that someone like you just comes off like you havenât been taught well growing up. All you know how to do seems to be disparaging others and not giving any basic semblance of respect. Youâre the one who truly isnât a good fit for him. You think youâre all that great just because you have some background, and all of us should have to bow and kneel to you? Iâm sorry, but you have no right to barge into our relationship. You arenât even a third wheel between Tianming and I. Did your clan only teach you how to fight and squabble without educating you on basic etiquette and manners?â Feiling said in a poised manner. Compared to Huiye Shiâs childish tantrum, she truly seemed on a different level.
âHow dare you? Are you asking to die?!â Huiye Shiâs eyes turned red as tears began flowing.
âWho do you think you are? What else can you do apart from crying?â Feiling said.
âDie, wench!â Huiye Shi cried, sending her totems to attack Feiling.
Needless to say, Tianming blocked it and pushed Feiling back, turning to point his sword at Huiye Shi. This was his answer.
âVery well! Truly amazing! I really wasted my trimoon source for nothing!â Huiye Shi laughed pitifully as endless rage built up in her. Glaring at Tianming, she continued, âIâve always been able to get what I want! You will not be able to escape my grasp! Even if I have to drag you along like a dog, I will take you away from here!â
Then she shot Feiling a dark, threatening look. Who knew what she was going to do? If it werenât for the fact that he didnât have a choice, Tianming wouldnât have wanted to offend her either, but now that Feiling was involved, Tianming wouldnât want her to be troubled by it in the least.
After Huiye Shi left, everyone turned to look at their human emperor and goddess with troubled expressions, still reeling from the sheer oddity of the situation. However, they had to admit that hearing their goddess say that was almost cathartic.
âItâs always your good looks that invite trouble. Why couldnât you have been uglier?â Li Caiwei sighed, diffusing the tension.
Everyone broke out in laughter, save for Feiling and Tianming. The atmosphere soon got a little awkward again.
âThen, how about I recite a poem?â Ouyang Jianwang said. The moment he spoke, Feiling turned to leave and Tianming hurried to join her at the newly reconstructed Soulburn Hall.
âLingâer, donât be mad.â
âIâm not mad.â Though she said that, her face looked frozen like ice.
âThenâŠ.â
She entered the hall and closed the door just as he was about to enter. âBig Brother, I donât want to be looked down upon by others. Donât interrupt me.â
It looked like Feiling was raving mad from the encounter. As long as Huiyue Yin and Huiye Shi didnât leave, they would come to cause trouble time and again. Next time, they might even come together.
As Tianming stood outside, Ying Huo and the rest watched wide-eyed from within his lifebound space.
âDarn, Lingâer was so badass!â Ying Huo said. âIâm falling in love! Tianming, my friend, go! Letâs see whoâs tougher! You, or her? Donât hold back!â
Tianming sat down at the entrance and looked at the starry sky. âIf it was possibleâŠ.â His gaze soon turned cold. âGive us some more time. Weâll show them!â
âŠâŠ
The Hexapath Sword Palace under Xuanyuan Lake had collapsed from the grand battle, but had been reconstructed. Within it was the Hexapath Sword Insight Rock and Tianming. Before him sat the Hexapath Sword God, smiling as his beard fluttered in the wind. Tianming performed the Ninesky Beastsoul Formation and Asura Fiendgod Formation for the apparition.
âHow did I do, Senior?â Tianming asked.
âYouâre a brilliant student.â
âI guess itâs not enough, then.â
âYouâre a brilliant student.â
âIf Iâm a brilliant student, you should start teaching me then!â
The Hexapath Sword God actually stood up. âYou executed the formations decently. We can move on to the next step now.â
âWhatâs the next step?â Tianmingâs eyes were glowing. He would finally be learning the fifth move of Hexapath Samsara Sword!
âThe next step is⊠let me see how you look without clothes on,â said the Hexapath Sword God in a laughing manner.
