Liang was stunned at Shi's words, they never meet or had any contact, his first words for her was "who the fuck are you" making she a woman with a good status at the valley stunned for a breath.
Her mouth was hanging open for some breaths before shaking her head to get rid of her awkward face and thoughts then she said with a stern tone "Boy you truly are a gorilla aren't you?" then clicking her tongue she continued "As I said before, I am her elder sister".
But again Shi's only reaction was to frown his lower lip as he tilted his head slightly to the left he said "and like I said, I am her husband" using the same stern tone like he was trying to irritate her.
Seeing it was going nowhere Liang started to get irritated, at first she was being nice to him because of his two great services at her family, but now if Shi was just another Xinghong it could be dangerous, but as she kept looking at him she noticed the bad state the young man was.
His face was gaunt like he wasn't eating anything for days, his left arm was completely bandaged with cloth straps as a lot of blood marks were sprouting and his complexion truly looked weary.
"Kid don't provoke her too much, she truly isn't an enemy, but she's also not an ally, besides that she is at the 9th layer of the body refining realm, didn't you notice you couldn't feel her cultivation?" Long Shin's warning sounded high in Shi's mind, awakening the boy who was ready to make trouble to the slender elegant woman.
Clenching the grip of his spirit sword he barely could feel his strength, and his left arm was basically useless for who knows how long. He could feel the cold sweat on his back as he thought about her strength.
He narrowed his purple eyes and took a deep glance at the tall woman, he was trying to understand a little of her attitude with his sight, but he only had two people to talk to all his life and one of them was a woman who would make everything to provoke him and the other his father was too stern or too funny.
"Sigh…" sighing at his low social interaction and how it handicapped him in those situations, he decided to believe in the woman.
He put his spirit sword away and cupped his hand at her, making a slight bow as he said "This young brother was crude, I ask for elder sister forgiveness" as he said that, his cheeks became hot, he never acted like this, but this time he decided to try something new.
Both Long Shin and Liang got stunned at his manners, her soft arched eyebrows shot high on her pinky forehead, and the little smile from before come back again, she was feeling truly grateful at this smart pants so she just forgot about earlier.

Meng'er was thinking that Evil Cloud would never commit a simple mistake like that, so there was a big reason for this; she needed to use it to her advantage.
After the last trade, there were only two people who were still fighting, the same elders from before, it looked like they truly had a big enmity, taking a glancing at this fight before turning to another elder giving him a nod before she gave Evil Cloud a taunting smile that looked funny on her face because the only part who was smiling was her mouth and the rest was keeping expressionless.
Evil Cloud was truly mad, he knew something got wrong, but he hadn't the time to take care of it, and as he saw Meng'er sending a signal to an elder, he said to Feng Wu "Call Black Sparrow and tell him to go find Xinghong, I got a bad feeling that something happened inside the camp"
At their level, their sixth sense was way better than the normal cultivator, since they could communicate with the heavens because of their spirit, they could feel the disturbance in the heavenly way.
Feng Wu only gave him a smile before disappearing into the air, she wasn't stupid enough to not understand the cause of his wound, something truly did happen.
Seeing Feng Wu going away Meng'er felt like the weight of the heavens was taken off her shoulders, if it was just Evil Cloud they could fight for hours, but if it had any kind of disturbance it could be really dangerous and at this time Feng Wu was the worst person to involve in their fight even with the new wound she gave him.
Evi Cloud was also not feeling good. To send his second more trusted fighter to go look for his son was frustrating, but because it was his only son and that his sixth sense was trying to send him a message he needed to find out what it was about.

After almost dying at Shi's hands Xinghong with the help Yong gave him, could at least get out of danger, his pale white upper body was bare as a big wound was being healed with the help of green moistened herbs and some spirit pills.
His entire body was aching from the impact on a giant tree, even to breathe it was hurting, so he did it very carefully.
But it was in his mind that he was feeling the worse, he was regretting his decision to joke around with Shi and Jiangu, and he was also regretting not 'consuming' Cuifen as soon as he captured her.
As he looked to the starry skies deep hatred could be seen in his eyes as his expression was getting distorted. As he saw it Yong didn't know if it was because of his wound or because of pure madness the young fella was releasing right now but he was scared.
After at least half an hour in this heavy atmosphere two people appeared on his side, one of them was Black Sparrow and the other was Feng Wu. Xinghong didn't know if he was happy or mad at them, Black Sparrow was a very old man and the only alchemist in the valley but he was also the spy who infiltrated into the enemy sect, he was one of his only chance of getting better faster.
But the woman was one of his arch enemies, she was the one who convinced his father to take this path, the path of using him as a dual cultivation machine to get his vengeance at his old sect.
As the old man was analyzing his body he scolded him "Who the hell did this? That's why I told you not to do this kind of thing, it was just a woman who was being used as a step" then he took a glance at the surroundings and as he narrowed his eyes he then asked Yong "Where is Jian'er?".

Not far away from there, Shi was recounting the events he lived in the forest to the stern woman who was nodding at him and trying to speak but every time Shi would just cut her out to say something.
She didn't know if he was doing it on purpose but her veins were already becoming visible at her pinky forehead, changing her weight to the right foot. She held her arms below her chest as she stuck out her proud bosom.
Seeing her attitude the corner of the Shi's mouth got up a little bit, it was so minuscule that the elegant woman couldn't tell.
"See? The way she crossed her arms? it means she does not want to talk anymore" To recount the events and cut the woman's speech was all a Long Shin idea, he was teaching him about body signs and social interactions.
At first, Liang was truly interested in his adventure, but then he started to add just too much nonsense and stupid things in the middle, like what he ate or how the tents at the campsite were dirty and smelly, by now she wanted to just tell him to shut up and take Cuifen away as fast she could.
She didn't even know that she was being used as teaching material for Shi, just as she was about to tell him it was enough she heard a low noise far away.
Looking at Shi who was about to speak again she pressed her index finger on his mouth and said "Shhh, I heard something, don't make any noise" she furrowed her gentle brows at him and closed her eyes focusing all her attention on hearing.
He also furrowed his brow and focused on his hearing but he couldn't hear anything, as usual, his father clarifies to him that her hearing was way better than him not only because of her realm but because of her martial spirit.
He asked more about her martial spirit but Long Shin only smiled at kept silent, leaving the annoyed boy rolling his eyes, after some time his pervert mind started to focus too much on her slender finger who was pressing hard at his lips.
And then he started to feel anxious because as he started to had those thoughts he started to notice the woman he was tied to, the danger almost made him forget about her, but now he was feeling her warm at his back again.
Sadly for him, it wasn't long before Liang opened her eyes and took her silky finger off his mouth, she was just about to tell him to give Cuifen to her, but then she remembered his poor state, and all his work to save her, she could see that he was really in a bad state, so she said "You go, run as fast as you could, I don't really care where you go, but don't let my little sister in danger" making him stunned as he didn't understand what was happening.
Seeing his bewildered state she let a gentle smile out and said "They were looking for her already, so you better go, if you guys leave this situation alive maybe I can think of making you her hubby" then she shot at the woods as she let a low laugh out.
