2552 Side Story 56: Report

He glanced at Tuan Zi with warning. “A child shouldn’t be so curious.”

Tuan Zi was stunned. Even though Zi Chen is cold, he is always gentle with me and rarely reveals such an expression. He seems… rather unhappy? Because I asked such a question? However, this isn’t a very big matter, right? Why can’t I ask out of curiosity? I won’t lose a piece of my flesh.

Tuan Zi tried to explain herself. “…But I’ve already grown up!”

This was irrefutable.

She was in her teens. Could he really still treat her as a child?

Everyone could tell that she had grown up. Even those kids in the Godly Phoenix Mountain had vastly different attitudes toward Tuan Zi, especially Yi Ming, who almost chased her to her house.

Thinking of this, Zi Chen’s eyes darkened as he stepped forward. “So what? Your skills didn’t improve by much.”

Tuan Zi was instantly so angry that her cheeks bulged up. “No!”

My combat skills have greatly improved! However, Zi Chen is too capable, and I’m not his match.

That day, Zi Chen willingly challenged her to a duel. In the beginning, she was still rather excited. In the end, she lost before the time even reached 15 minutes.

At that moment, she then realized that it wasn’t just her—Zi Chen’s skills had also strengthened!

Besides, when they dealt hands in the past, he mostly gave in to her. This made Tuan Zi feel defeated for the whole afternoon.

However, she quickly picked herself up with strong ambition. She swore that she would cultivate harder and fight to beat Zi Chen!

It was decent if they could have a tie!

Hence, after that, she always stayed in her own residence. She was either cultivating or dueling with Zi Chen.

Zi Chen’s temper and patience seemed much better than before. After being tortured by her, he was not annoyed at all.

But in this situation, she canceled her meeting with Yi Ming and the rest again.

When she returned to the Fantasy Divine Palace this time, it was her only time going out other than entering Godly Phoenix Hall for maintenance works. Thinking of this, she felt even more indignant.

She tilted her head to look at Zi Chen. Is he amazing just because he’s capable? I just asked out of curiosity. What’s there to get angry about?

After a moment, she suddenly thought of something and grunted in delight. “Zi Chen, you didn’t answer my question. It probably isn’t because… you don’t know it either, right?”

Zi Chen’s eyelids twitched.

At that moment, Tuan Zi sharply felt that Zi Chen’s aura had turned cold, but she was not afraid! Instead, she acted as if she had found out a huge secret, and she shook her head and laughed. “Hahaha, I knew it!”

Zi Chen had no spouse and spent most of his time trapped in the Heavenly Square Cauldron. Perhaps he doesn’t even have a lady he likes. Why would he have such experience and know such things?

Thinking of this, Tuan Zi smiled even more brightly, and she couldn’t help but reach out and tap his shoulders. “Am I right? Did I guess it?”

Zi Chen: “…”

Mm, she’s grown up, but her abilities to annoy people have also strengthened.

Just as he was about to speak, Tuan Zi suddenly leaped to the front, tilted her head, and approached him.

Her blackberry-like eyes blinked lightly with her lashes. Light shone in her eyes.

“Zi Chen, are you angry?”

Her lips still had a smile.

Zi Chen’s annoyance that came from nowhere dissipated suddenly.

He averted his gaze and looked to the front. “No.”

“That’s great if you don’t! I was just kidding!” Tuan Zi laughed out loud. “It’s very normal if you haven’t met someone you like! A’Yue said that this depends on fate! Sometimes, you have to wait for quite some time.”

In the beginning, when she was thinking about getting a partner for Zi Chen, she actually did not consider so much. But after understanding Zi Chen’s attitude, she realized that she did not do it well.

Besides, for some reason, after she saw Sister Xiao Ba and Brother Yan Qing together, she suddenly realized that liking someone was not precise.

It was between two people and had nothing to do with others.

Zi Chen glanced at her strangely, not expecting her to have such a realization. However, this was fine.

He nodded. “You’re right, but you have to be careful about such a thing. You’re still young and can’t easily differentiate good and bad. If you meet someone you like, you have to report to me first.”

“Huh?” Tuan Zi was instantly dazed.

Zi Chen’s expression did not change. “Your identity is special. Some people might have ill intent toward you. I’ll look out for you first before we show them to Goddess Yue.”

Tuan Zi thought about it and felt that it made sense. But why… does it seem weird?

“Do you have a question?” Zi Chen glanced at her.

Tuan Zi immediately shook her head. “No!”

Speaking of which, it was great to get Zi Chen to look out for her.

They had spent many years together, and their relationship was deep. Zi Chen always took extra care of her, like a senior and a brother. Other than A’Yue, she trusted him the most and depended on him the most.

To be honest, in her heart, Zi Chen’s status was even higher than Yi Zhao and the rest. After all… A’Yue and Zi Chen had occupied most of the first half of her life…

Thinking of this, she smiled. “Then, if you also have someone you like, you must tell me first!”

I want to inspect her properly!

Zi Chen paused and finally acknowledged it.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Tuan Zi was elated. “But they’re all matters of the past. It’s too early to talk about it now! It’s very late. Let’s return to the Fantasy Divine Hall as soon as possible and find A’Yue!”

As she spoke, she pulled Zi Chen’s hand and walked forward excitedly.

After not seeing each other for a few months, she missed A’Yue to death!

Zi Chen tightened his grip. Then, the soft and warm contact overwhelmed him.

He was forced to follow Tuan Zi forward and looked down.

She was still grabbing his index finger—it showed that she fully depended on him. However, she had grown up, and it seemed that her habits weren’t very suitable for the current her.

He thought for a moment before holding her hand.

The warm palm easily wrapped hers.

Tuan Zi was stunned, and she instinctively turned around.

Zi Chen stood rooted to the spot and quickly let go of her hands. Then… she stepped forward.

The two of them held hands and were originally very close. Now, they were sharing each other’s breaths.

Tuan Zi instantly felt an extremely familiar yet foreign aura, and there was… an indescribable suppression.

Without waiting for her to react, Zi Chen’s hand already landed on her head.

The bell rang.

It seemed as if he had tidied a few loose strands of hair as he hid them under her dark hair. Then, his hand landed on her collar, and his long fingers pressed on it lightly, tidying her messy collar.

His hand was warm, and he quickly let go after touching. Then, he took half a step back and sized her up. “I’m done.”

Since they were returning to see Goddess Yue, she had to look good.

Tuan Zi welcomed his gaze and suddenly felt her face become warm.
