Intimate Moments

Life returned to normal after the auction. Wu Jian spent most of his time either training alone or with Hou Jingshu. He would sometimes spend time with Ding Hong and Yai Bazhu, and Xia Lin would occasionally join them.

No one really bothered him, but he was rather famous by this point. Everyone knew about his relationship with Hou Jingshu. He had expected people to make trouble for him, but that didn’t happen. No one accused him of being a toad lusting after swan meat. No one tried to bully him into breaking up with her. Other than a few nasty looks, nothing of note happened on that front.

He was surprised.

“It’s because of your strength,” Ding Hong said one day when they were having lunch. “Do you think anyone here is going to mess with someone who’s at the eighth subrealm of the Asura Realm? No one has a death wish.”

Only Hou Jingshu and Yu Qian had a similar cultivation. The next strongest person was only at the fourth subrealm of the Asura Realm.
