Chapter 14: Confrontation Part 1

As time passed by, Glastry Mountain slowly descended into darkness. The sun on the west horizon was almost set.

Outside the cave that has been blocked for nearly a quarter of the day, Zhou Wuji appeared anxious. He wasn't anxious only for Meng Xia's wellbeing but also because of this itching sense of foreboding… as if something was very terribly wrong here… as if someone that was supposed to be his was being stolen… this inexplicable feeling gnawed on his heart.

Multiple times he had thought of knocking to check up on them, but he restrained in case he disturbed them at a critical moment.

Still, he felt quite uncomfortable at the thought of leaving the two women he likes alone with a man.

'It should be fine, right? I can see that they both love me.' Zhou Wuji thought. Although he always acted dense around them, he was also a grown-up man, how couldn't he feel their affection for him?

Knowing that the saint of Shangaan Peak as well as the most talented core disciple, both of whom were goddesses in the heart of every man of the sect, unattainable and otherworldly existences were chasing after him, his heart was filled with satisfaction. It made him prideful.

The only reason he hasn't accepted them is that if he choose one, he knew that the other would definitely leave him. They were both prideful and arrogant and would never settle on sharing. But he believe he could do it. Using his Ancient Yang Body, he believed that he could make them submit one day.

Right now, he needs to be patient.

It's not like they are going anywhere.

"Grr…." A low growl sounded suddenly.

He saw a few beasts in Earthly Master Realm slowly surrounding him. He sighed and stood up. It wasn't the first time beasts attacked him while he was standing guard.

Seeing those bloodthirsty beasts, he snorted. A sword appeared in his hands and his figure flickered like lightning. With a painful howl, a beast was cut in half.

Swish!

Clang!

Bang!

After three minutes, he stabbed the last standing beast and then kicked him hard. The body of the beast flew away tens of meters away, it twitched for a couple of seconds before silence ensued.

Putting the sword back into his storage ring, he walked back to sit near the cave. But right as he was about to sit, the big boulder blocking the exit of the cave was pushed open. The superlunary figure of Xin Zhuyan walked out.

Seeing the woman who was as beautiful as fairies, Zhou Wuji's heartbeat unknowingly sped up. In the heat of the moment earlier, he had forgotten to ask about it but now he was curious about what she had experienced to undergo such massive changes.

At the same time, his heart was filled with a sense of pride. This was his childhood friend. The woman who chased after him! Who has such privilege in the world? He may be the only man!

He was suddenly tempted to accept her confession and find how the peak of life looks like. But right then, he saw Meng Xia walking out and the idea of accepting Xin Zhuyan was driven out of his mind immediately. Although Xin Zhuyan was stunning, her charm wasn't comparable to Meng Xia's!

Any man who could hold either of them would die happily! But he was greedy, he wanted both!

He gulped heavily. The idea of holding these women left and right one day set his heart ablaze and his throat parched.

'Huh? Wait, why is she holding that doctor's arm?' In pure shock, he immediately stood up.

He saw Meng Xia walking out of the cave but the strange, no, bizarre thing was that she was holding Zhao Shuman's arms very intimately. In fact, part of his muscular biceps was between her bountiful chest!

Zhao Shuman heard this notification as soon as he went out; his lips curved slightly at the ends.

'As expected. System, show me his stats!'

…

Name: Zhou Wuji

Cultivation Level: 4th Level Heavenly Master Realm

Physique: Ancient Yang Body(Dormant)

Heavenly Luck: 1900

…

'1900? That means he has a total of 2000 Heavenly Luck.'

Seeing them like this, Zhou Wuji's eyes were wide open in disbelief. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. But he quickly calmed down. Maybe he is interpreting things wrong?

Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, he asked with a worried face: "Meng Xia, are you alright now? The poison… was it purified?"

Meng Xia was dazed hearing him, and emotions couldn't help but breed in her beautiful eyes. In the end, Zhou Wuji was a protagonist and a handsome and powerful one at that. His words of worry that he asked before trying to confirm her relationship with Zhao Shuman made her heart warm. At the same time, she felt very guilty towards him.

If not for the fact that the bastard Zhao Shuman was controlling her, how could she act like this? She could see the hurt on Zhou Wuji's face and this made her heart uncomfortable, yet her expression as she looked at him was filled with indifference.

"She is alright." Instead of Meng Xia, it was Zhao Shuman who replied. Suddenly, he patted her hand lightly. Taking the hint, she let him go. He then proceeded to embrace her slender waist in front of Zhou Wuji's widening eyes and continued: "You don't need to worry about her from now on. I'll take care of her."

"W-what? You… Meng Xia, what is going on?" Zhou Wuji was shocked. He quickly looked at Meng Xia and asked anxiously. When Zhao Shuman hugged the woman he fancied, it made him feel very uncomfortable.

Meng Xia replied in a low tone: "As you can see, we are together. I've decided to date Zhao Shuman!" Saying so, she also embraced his waist with both her arms and leaned her peerless face against his chest.

[Ding! The host's slave causes minor damage to protagonist Zhou Wuji's mentality. Stolen +100 Heavenly Luck!]

"!!!"

Zhou Wuji only felt his mind buzz. His eyes went into a daze as he looked at the intimately embracing couple. The man was ordinary while the woman was the definition of beauty and glamour, they didn't go well together at all. Yet they were sticking with each other like glue.

Meng Xia's double peaks were also pressed against him. Everyone would want to desperately replace Zhao Shuman at the moment. The look of love and affection that she cast towards him would make any weak-willed man's knees weak.

After waking up from a daze, he looked at Meng Xia in disbelief. Was this really the woman that chased after him? Why is she indifferent towards him but so obedient and loving towards that man? Just what transpired inside the cave?

With a bit of anger in his tone, Zhuo Wuji asked in a loud voice: "Meng Xia, you give me an explanation this instant!"

"Humph, what's there to explain? Are your eyeballs just for decoration?" Under his angered eyes, Meng Xia's face remained impassive, she continued while snuggling deeper into Zhao Shuman's embrace: "But since you dare want an explanation, I also have something to ask of you. When I was injured and poisoned just now by Sky Python, did you have any method of helping me?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Wuji was taken aback. He obviously had that Supreme Ranked Pill which could heal her, but he was sure that she didn't know about it. After all, he had chanced upon it only a few days ago himself.

"Obviously not. If I had it, why wouldn't I help you?"While he felt he was being a bit shameless, he definitely can't confess now, could he? After all, he was a protagonist. How could he admit a mistake! He was sure that she didn't know about it.

"Oh really?" Meng Xia snorted and looked at him. "Then do you dare to empty your storage ring?"
