Chapter 167: A sweet moment!
The lady from the Mudan Sect was shocked by the sudden course of events. She kept trembling her whole body with fright.
The Floral Lady, Hai Yun slowly walked toward her. Then, she held her hands tightly with hers and said with a smile, “Relax! I am fine. I am called Hai Yun.”
And she asked, “Sister, can I know your name?”
The lady looked at her and replied, ” I am Ni Mantian. Sister Hai Yun, please forgive me. I don’t mean to hurt you. “
“I know. I know. Don’t worry.” Hai Yun said with a smile.
Then, Ni Mantian calmed down slowly. She looked at Joey warily.
“Sister Ni Mantian, relax! Brother Joey is not an evil cultivator.” Hai Yun said to her. Then she told her all the details of the events that happened on that day. She told her that Joey was possessed by a soul that resided in his body. She also told her about the details of Joey concocting the pills for them today and healing her.
“Sorry, brother Joey. ” Ni Mantian apologized to him.
“It’s okay. I understand.” Joey replied with a smile. Then he took out 10 golden color pills and gave them to her,
“Feed each of them a pill. They will be fine.” Joey said.
Then, he left the room.
The two ladies chatted and went to the next room. They fed all of the remaining ladies with the pills that Joey had given to her. Soon, all of the eleven ladies also retained their youthfulness and became healthy again. Then, Ni Mantian told them what happened that day and about Joey.
It was already dark when Joey came outside. He took a stroll randomly around the street. Then he reached the river that passed through the palace of the Black Tiger Tribe.
Then he sat down and leaned on a tree near the bank of the river. He looked up and stared blankly at the twinkling stars in the sky. It was a beautiful full moon night. The reflection of the bright moon could be seen from the surface of the river. The sound of insects and cricket chirping could be heard sometimes. It was a very peaceful night.
At that time, a beautiful lady wearing a Daoist purple robe appeared secretly just behind the tree Joey was leaning. She looked at him affectionately from behind.
After 10 minutes, Joey spoke, “I am waiting for you. I know you will come here.”
The beautiful lady walked toward him, sat down, and leaned on the tree just at his opposite.
“Floral Lady Hai Yun, earlier today, you don’t need to take that sword strike for me. I will not die just from that mere sword strike. You knew it too. Why did you do that unnecessarily?” Joey spoke softly.
“I don’t know. At that moment, my body just moves on its own without thinking. ” Hai Yun replied.
Then, they remained quiet for a while.
“Brother Joey, about sister Rose..” Hai Yun said but interrupted abruptly by him.
“Stop it! Don’t ever talk about her to me again. ” Joey snapped at her.
“Sorry!” Hai Yun apologized. Then the two remained silent again.
A few minutes later, Hai Yun broke the silence.
“Brother Joey, I saw you concocting pills in your room for those girls. You look so cool today!” Hai Yun said.
Joey didn’t reply.
“You are even ready to take that blow from her willingly. I was so frightened at that time. Brother Joey, what happened to those girls was not your fault at all. Don’t try to do such stupid things next time again, okay. ” She continued speaking.
“Floral Lady, the reason why I am waiting for you here. You must have known about it, right?” Joey spoke finally.
Hai Yun remained silent this time.
“Hai Yun, I really like you. Be my woman from today onward.” Joey said gently.
“Brother Joey, I am sorry. I can’t really be with you. I already have someone else I love. Let’s just be friends.” Hai Yun replied softly.
“Don’t lie to yourself anymore. You like me too. Why are you so stubborn to admit to your feelings?” Joey said a bit angrily.
“Yes, I really like you. But, I already have someone else before we meet. ” Hai Yun replied.
“Then, what about things that happened between us earlier in my room?” Joey asked.
“About that, I really hate myself afterward. Thank goodness, we have stopped in time. Otherwise, it will become more complicated for me. ” Hai Yun said.
Then she continued with a smile, “Brother Joey, you are so cool and hot to me. If I met you earlier, I will really accept your feelings. But, you are late. Let’s just stay friends.”
Joey closed his eyes and mumbled softly, “Fine, I will still wait for you. ” And he thought, “I will not touch you again until then.”
Hai Yun didn’t reply. But, she felt a warm feeling in her heart and made a cheerful smile. Then she closed her eyes. Both of them fell asleep while leaning on the tree opposite each other.
The next morning, Joey opened his eyes slowly while feeling the sunlight on his face. Then, he turned his head and saw Hai Yun leaning her head on his shoulder. After that, he slowly leaned back again to the tree without disturbing her sleep. He smiled and covered the sunlight that fell on her face with his left hand.
He turned his head slightly toward her and said, “Hai Yun, you are truly beautiful. You even took a hit for me yesterday. I will never forget that moment in my life. I owe you one this time.”
Then, his left hand slowly shuffled the lock of the hair that covered a bit of her face behind her ear.
He stayed like that for an hour until she woke up.
Hai Yun stood up and stretched her body a bit.
“Oh! We overslept here last night. Brother Joey, I will take my leave.” Hai Yun said with a sweet smile. Then she ran away like a little girl.
“It really feels nice,” Joey said with a warm smile while remembering her leaning on his shoulder. He felt a lingering feeling in his heart.
