Bad Boy Is Not So Bad

The handsome young man felt that the girl in front of him looks a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember when he met her. He was influential enough to met with several nobles in the country, so he asked, "Are you perhaps a daughter of an official or a young miss from a distinguished clan?"

Jing Wu Chu covered her blushing cheeks with her hands. Instead of answering the question, she made an out of context remark, "Am I so beautiful that you thought I'm a noble? Ah... Don't look at me like that, it's too embarrassing..."

[That's not what I meant...] The young man rolled his eyes, but put up with her antics. He patiently explained to her, "That's not what I meant. It's just that it seems I've met you somewhere before. So, I thought you were one of the noble girls..."

Jing Wu Chu thought of the same thing. However, she was not sure either when and where she met him before. But, if her eyes ever caught such a handsome fellow, she was pretty sure she wouldn't forget. Then, there's only one explanation... [He must be trying to hit on me! I've heard that some bad boys have been using this kind of excuse to start a conversation with a girl... Yes!! I'm very lucky!!]

"No need to be so shy..." said Jing Wu Chu. "But... Since you're so persuasive... I agree to be your girlfriend."

"What?!" The young man could not help but be startled. [How come the conversation shifted to being my girlfriend? This girl is dangerous! Something's wrong with her head!]

"Young miss... You got it wrong... I'm not trying to flirt with you. I'm just saying that you look familiar."

"Ohh... I know. You're playing hard to get, right?", said Jing Wu Chu. "I find your personality really charming."

The handsome young man instantly regretted his decision to check up on her. Just because she was unconscious, he let his kindness get the better of him. If he knew she was this crazy, he would already have stayed away.

"I'm sorry! I'm very busy! I shall take my leave now!" as soon as the young man finish uttering those words, he dashed towards the other direction and left.

"Wait! I haven't asked for your name yet! Ah... He left..." Jing Wu Chu felt pity that her conversation with the handsome man was rather short. But, overall, it was a pleasant experience. She was pretty sure that he will be back soon.

"Bad boy is not so bad." Jing Wu Chu said to herself. "He's thousand times better than that liar, Feng Ao Xiu!"

To this date, Jing Wu Chu still having nightmares ever since she found out that Feng Ao Xiu has a broken meridian. Not only did she lost her hope, passion and dream, she has fallen to the degree where she has to follow this liar of a master just to survive.

However, with this bad boy approaching her, her love has been resurrected. She can't wait to unveil the next moment she met with her again.

"Ahh... You can't... You're such a bad boy..." As Jing Wu Chu's imagination ran wild, she didn't notice that someone was calling to her from behind.

"Jing Wu Chu, are you all right? Jing Wu Chu..."

Finally, she snapped out of her dream, only to look back to find out that the exact same that lied to her was the one calling her. "Oh... It's you..."

"What do you mean by 'it's you'?" Fang Ye Na scolded her. "Call him Young Master!"

"It's okay... I don't mind." Feng Ao Xiu quickly calmed Fang Ye Na down. Ever since Feng Ao Xiu decided to return to the Lower Realm, he was prepared for the whole world to disrespect him. What's the use of being angry to one person?

Instead, he knew that Jing Wu Chu was in a bad mood because he forced her to bear the pain from the Qi Protectors. So, it's now time to repay for her loyal deed. Otherwise, how can he be a good master if he couldn't reward his own maid?

"Jing Wu Chu, listen carefully. I'll teach all you need to know on how to control the Qi Protectors!" said Feng Ao Xiu.

"Qi Protectors?" Both Jing Wu Chu and Fang Ye Na asked simultaneously.

Then, Feng Ao Xiu explained all he knows about the Qi Protector the exact same way he explained it to Elder Zhou. In addition, he told Jing Wu Chu how to use the Qi Protectors within her.

"So, the Qi Protectors are protecting me now, and I need to transform my Qi into a Qi that is suitable to be the energy of the Qi Protectors in order to use them?"

"Exactly!" Feng Ao Xiu said. "Just do what I told you to do, and you should notice your power rises within a minute."

Jing Wu Chu nodded and cultivate straight away.

"Young master, from what you said, Jing Wu Chu and me are enough to destroy the door. Why do you need me to find someone with a fire spirit?"

"When the Qi Protectors move, it left behind some wood, earth and metal spirit. So someone with a fire or metal spirit has a greater chance of destroying the door. But, most importantly, we need someone who was flashy enough to take the blame, so I decided with fire." Feng Ao Xiu explained slowly.

Fang Ye Na nodded in understanding. It turns out that Liu Sheng was only a scapegoat. She really thought that Feng Ao Xiu was trying to get rid of him.

A few seconds later, Jing Wu Chu finally stood up, "It seemed like all of my body feels dense like something is pressing on it."

"Great! It means that you successfully controlled the Qi Protectors.", said Feng Ao Xiu. Then he glanced at Fang Ye Na and said, "Go and punch her with all your might!"

"Right away!" Fang Ye Na quickly replied as she made a quick dash towards Jing Wu Chu.

Jing Wu Chu became flustered as it was too sudden. "Wait... What?! What are you... Ahh... Stop it!!"

A big thud sound was created upon the impact of Fang Ye Na's fist right into Jing Wu Chu's forehead.

Fang Ye Na's eye grew wider, "No, it can't be!"

Feng Ao Xiu nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that it was working as it intended.

***

As everyone gathered inside the Supreme Martial Palace's main hall. The seniors finally announced the start of the last test. Li Lan at the very front cheerfully smiled, "Congratulations! You all have successfully passed the third test, now we will commence the last test!"

All the test participants became excited as they're one step closer to officially become the disciple of the Cloud Moon Palace.

A few of them including Feng Ao Xiu, Fang Ye Na and Liu Sheng noticed something strange. The number of participants left have become much smaller. Roughly counting, there's only slightly more than 400 peoples. What happened to the more than 500 participants?

"Let me tell you what you need to know about the last test." said Li Lan, this time with a slightly seriously voice. "Very shortly, ten elders will arrive and evaluate all of you one by one. As long as you got the approval of three elders or more, you pass the test and officially became the disciple of the Cloud Moon Palace."

Feng Ao Xiu nodded. So far, it's the same as what Elder Zhou described.

"Sister Li Lan, what will we be evaluated on?" asked one person who could not contain his excitement.

"Relax, I'm just about to get to that part. The last test will be..." said Li Lan, but she paused at the last second to build up excitement.

"A battle against senior!"

Surprisingly, the last test was quite simple.

One person was panicking before it even began. That person was none other than the person who can easily get killed, even if it's just a practice battle. Who else other than Feng Ao Xiu?

[F*ck! What should I do?]
