The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 207: Heart to heart with Xinyi

"What are you looking at?"

"The stars."

"I never really understood what is so great about stars. Mind helping me understand?"

Rolling her eyes, Zheng Niu said, "I'm unable to understand how you managed to find such beautiful women while being so unromantic."

"Sometimes I wonder the same thing, and do you know what the answer I obtain is?"

Shaking her head, Zheng Niu asked, "What is it?"

"My godly handsomeness."

Chuckling a little, Zheng Niu felt that she shouldn't have hoped for a mature answer anyway.

"Did you really fight against that man for me?"

"Yes."

"Just so that I would care for you?"

"Yup."

"Cant you at least act like a gentleman and say no?"

"No."

Laughing as Zheng Niu puffed her cheeks and looked away, Jian Shen asked, "Why would I be an idiot and not take credit for something that I obviously did?"

"Because not doing so makes you look shameless."

"No worries. I consider being shameless as one of my better traits."

After that, neither of them said anything until Zheng Niu chose to sleep for the rest of the night, while Jian Shen entered the World Crest.

Having realized that some things were harder to let go than he thought, he felt that it would be stupid to keep Xinyi inside the World Crest.

After all, he needed to talk to her sooner or later. And the more time he spent avoiding that conversation, the deeper it'll hurt if he was turned down.

...

Entering the World Crest, Jian Shen didn't have to go and find Xinyi himself because she came to find him in less than a few minutes since he entered it.

Almost punching him in the face, Xinyi satisfied herself from tackling him to the ground because she didn't want to wreck his handsome face.

"You asshole! Kidnapping me and keeping me here for so long while you sleep around with other women, what the hell is wrong with you?! I'll kill you!!!"

Using her hands to wrap them around Jian Shen's throat Xinyi looked like she was speaking the truth but Jian Shen knew better than to believe those words.

"Xinyi, I love you."

Blinking her eyes in surprise, Xinyi's mouth began twitching as she said, "Nice try brat, but I'm not letting you go."

Sighing a little while smiling bitterly, even though he had already found an answer Jian Shen chose to repeat himself once again.

Using his hands to hug the waist of Xinyi who was sitting on his stomach, Jian Shen looked her straight in the eyes and said, "I'm being serious Xinyi. I really love you."

"What is wrong with you? Of course, you love me, and I love you as well. I'm your aunt and you're my nephew after all."

Sighing again at how what he feared had turned into a reality, Jian Shen realized that Xinyi didn't possess any romantic feelings towards him.

Thus, he decided to not continue and try and make her understand what it was that he was actually talking about.

"What are you doing, Jian Shen? I wanted to help you grow strong, but you've already crossed my own strength. So what do you plan on doing next?"

"I want to go to the higher realms."

Smiling happily, Xinyi said, "I never expected anything less from you."

"And what do you plan on doing?"

"I'm going to become the next leader of the Myriad Flame Sect and try to break into the False Immortal Realm."

"Really? I'm happy for you."

Saying so, Jian Shen honestly smiled at how even though things didn't work out the way he hoped for them to, it was a huge relief to say those words he always wanted to say out loud.

"I'm going to the Sword Island right now, do you want to come along with me or go back?"

"I want to go back."

"Fine."

As Jian Shen accepted her words without the slightest hesitation, this was when a look of annoyance appeared on Xinyi's face.

Pounding Jian Shen in the chest with her bare fists, she asked, "Are you out of your mind?!"

"I'm saying I will leave, and you still aren't going to try and stop me? What happened to those lovey-dovey eyes you used to have for me? Don't you love me anymore?"

"Huh?"

It was now Jian Shen's turn to be surprised because he wasn't able to understand what the hell was happening.

"You idiot! I'm going to break your hands if you try and touch me even once in the next hundred years."

Leaving while huffing and puffing, Xinyi managed to make Jian Shen not understand what was happening in the slightest.

"Really husband, you're so bad at understanding what women are thinking."

While Juewang at least made a comment, Qingyu however only kept on smiling and grinning making Jian Shen think that she was also making fun of him.

One by one the other women began showing up from out of the forest and said the same thing causing Jian Shen to think that maybe the fault really lied with him.

Getting to his feet and chasing after Xinyi who was didn't turn around no matter how much he called her, he asked, "How long have you known?"

"Humph! Don't come near me you unemotional pig! I'll really break your hands if you try anything funny with me!"
