Chapter 736: Do you have... mental problems?
Sigma Hitesh
"Why aren鈥檛 you talking?" As Zi Yao鈥檚 curious mind was stirred up, she laughed and pursued the topic. She didn鈥檛 want to give up just yet.
"I don鈥檛 know." After a while, Shi Yan beamed a forced smile and scratched his head. "Don鈥檛 know why she and I have gradually walked on two different roads. We were trying our best for our distinctive families and relatives. We even had disputes. In the end, I won. Her family was smashed. They had to run and hideaway. She ran to the unknown outer space. I don鈥檛 know whether she鈥檚 alive or not. I don鈥檛 know if she will hate me when we see each other again."
"You are cruel," Zi Yao was dumbstruck. "If you love her, why did you put her family into such pathetic situation? Weren鈥檛 you able to give them an exit?"
"I couldn鈥檛," Shi Yan replied faintly, but his voice was resolute.
Zi Yao was astounded. She gazed at him for a while and then spoke up again. "You... sigh... I can tell that women aren鈥檛 the main part of your life. Women who love you won鈥檛 have a happy future, because you won鈥檛 give up your dream or goal for a woman. You will never give up what you want for her."
Shi Yan thinned his lips. A gleam of sorrow sparkled in his eyes. "You鈥檙e right. I won鈥檛 give up my life goal or things that belong to me for a woman. Perhaps... I haven鈥檛 met a woman who is enough for me to give up and forget everything else."
"If I like you, will you give up all of your desires and hold my hands forever?"
Zi Yao smiled casually and enchantingly. She spun in front of him, revealing her total glamour.
"I won鈥檛."
"Why won鈥檛 you?"
"Will you like me?" Shi Yan smiled, "You are the Princess of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation, the bright Pearl of the Raging Flame Star Area. You have all kinds of favors you want. You are the Goddess in men鈥檚 hearts and their dreams. I鈥檓 just a weak warrior from a low-level continent with no status. Will you consider me?"
"Who can tell exactly?" Zi Yao parted her lips, forming a smile. "If you can continue to break through, or if you are really related to that man, perhaps... my Father will agree."
"Unfortunately, I鈥檓 not. I have no relation to that man." Shi Yan smiled miserably.
"If it happens like that and I fall in love with you... So... will you give up your pursuits for me? Will you stop your pursuit of the martial path to make me happy and pleased every day?" Strange light dots sparked from Zi Yao鈥檚 beautiful eyes. She didn鈥檛 blink, gazing at him. "Will you?"
Shi Yan suddenly quieted down. After a while, he shook his head. "I won鈥檛."
Anger sparked in Zi Yao鈥檚 eyes. "Such a cold-hearted man!"
Shi Yan just smiled, but he didn鈥檛 reply.
"Why? Why won鈥檛 you do it for me?" Zi Yao still wanted an answer. She patiently continued as embarrassment filled her charming face. "Am I not pretty enough?"
"Quite the opposite!" Shi Yan looked at her seriously. "You are too beautiful, so beautiful that you can鈥檛 be true. You are like the most exquisite masterpiece of art. Before I met you, I had never thought that I could meet a flawless woman like you in this world."
"Are you complimenting me?" Zi Yao smiled, her eyes as beautiful as the new moon. She seemed not angry anymore. "So, why won鈥檛 you love me?"
"Ah," Pausing for a while with an odd face, Shi Yan continued, "Your glamour could arouse the deep desire in a man鈥檚 heart, making him crazy. However, this beauty will give me an absolute desire for possession. I want to occupy you, making you my unique belonging. I will not let anyone touch you. It鈥檚 like when a man gets a divine weapon he has yearned for a long time. It鈥檚 his favorite masterpiece of art. Your charming bearing will surpass all the love you deserve. It will make my desire replace everything. Thus, it鈥檚 hard to love you, you know."
"You will never love me? Are you sure?" Zi Yao clenched her teeth as she was resentful. She felt really annoyed.
"Yeah, I will not love you. I鈥檓 sure I will never love you," Shi Yan nodded affirmatively.
Zi Yao became more hostile. She gritted her teeth, almost unable to prevent herself from strangling Shi Yan to force him to change his mind.
In her life, she had met so many men who vowed to love her for the rest of his life, and to never forget her. Until this moment, she had never met anyone like Shi Yan, a man who told her he would never love her.
She suddenly had a feeling of a big loser. She started to doubt her charm, which infuriated her, making her stubbornly want to force Shi Yan to admit his wrong assumption.
"Why do you need to hold on to it?" Shi Yan beamed a faint smile. "I think, the ones who want to be with you can fill this whole area, and you, you should have someone you love, right? Why do you need to get mad at a low realm, low-status warrior like me? It isn鈥檛 worth your time."
"My pursuers are indeed many, much more than you have imagined." Zi Yao snorted, lifting her head arrogantly. "But, I haven鈥檛 fallen in love yet. I don鈥檛 know why I haven鈥檛 found someone who could make me wholeheartedly give up everything for him. I think... I should try... But it鈥檚 too hard to choose a man. I鈥檓 still looking for him."
After she had finished, Shi Yan was dumbstruck, his face odd. "You... do you have any mental problems? For example, you鈥檙e obsessed with cleanliness. You know, you need treatment. It鈥檚 a kind of sickness."
"You are the one who has mental problems!" Zi Yao was enraged, rolling her eyes at him angrily. "Such an a*shole. I don鈥檛 know why I feel so irritated looking at you now. Tell me, why do I want to punch you so much? Well, this thought is becoming stronger over time!" She spoke through her gritted teeth eventually.
Shi Yan was surprised. He smiled gingerly and rubbed his nose. He kept his mouth shut, not daring to talk more.
No kidding! This woman was at the Third Sky of King God Realm. If she wanted to teach him a lesson, he would have no power to resist. If he got beaten, he couldn鈥檛 complain, and could only blame himself for being unlucky. At the same time, Shi Yan didn鈥檛 want to make this woman mad at this moment.
"I do want to punch you, really." Zi Yao鈥檚 pretty eyes flared as she was about to attack him. She rubbed her jade-like hands energetically, her face bright with enthusiasm.
Shi Yan was musing when he said suddenly, "I want to cultivate more. I don鈥檛 have time to play with you." Then, he sat down again, closed his eyes, and accumulated his energy.
Zi Yao gazed at him, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange light. After a while, she held her flat tummy, cracking up with laughter charmingly. Her laughter was so cheerful; her body was shaking as if she were greatly amused. All of her sorrows seemed to be washed away. She felt refreshed and comfortable right now.
"Interesting..."
Zi Yao muttered as she was quite delighted. Her eyes that were as bright as diamonds were sparkling cunningly. No one knows what plan she had just made.
...
Under a massive burning meteorolite in the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field, around ten tiger shark war chariots were floating.
The bald headed Ka Tuo was bold and ferocious as he continually thundered in anger. "F*ck it! Why can鈥檛 we blockade them? Impossible! That woman can鈥檛 be familiar with the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field鈥檚 outline, as she has just come here. How can she be able to dodge us from time to time?"
The space pirates in his gang kept their mouths shut. No one dared to answer.
Even the young human man, who liked to interrupt him, had to stoop miserably. He didn鈥檛 dare to provoke his boss at this moment. When Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo was infuriated, he would be extremely wild. He could even slash the one standing in front of him to vent his rage.
Everybody knew this bad behavior of his, so no one dared to provoke him when he was angry. If he killed them, it would be their super bad luck.
After Ka Tuo had thundered alone for a while, seeing no response from his henchmen, he stopped eventually, calming himself down. Then, he spoke up, "I think we have a problem. That woman can鈥檛 be much familiar with the situation here. Otherwise, she would have escaped already. As she can always run one step ahead of us, she must have something else to depend on. The biggest possibility is... she can detect us before our operation. She can use Soul Consciousness to locate us and our direction."
"My wise boss," Seeing him restore his manners, the young human man flattered. "If we can avoid their Soul Consciousness detection, we can catch up with her. They won鈥檛 be able to run beforehand."
Ka Tuo grinned then nodded. "Yeah, we will do that way! Muahahaha... As we earn a living in outer space, what we know best is to conceal our living energy fluctuation. Well, let that woman widen her knowledge of our tricks then."
"Boss, what do you plan to do?" the young man asked.
"There are some areas in the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field where sunbeams interlace, and Soul Consciousness can鈥檛 survey those areas. Although those areas are extremely hazardous, our tiger shark war chariots can still stand for a short time." Ka Tuo鈥檚 eyes rolled. "To get that woman, we have to damage our tiger sharks a little bit. From now on bros, you have to pay more attention. Every time we move, we will hide in those areas. If we don鈥檛 see her, we will move to another place."
"Yes, Sir!" The young man answered, then took out a Sound Stone to deliver Ka Tuo鈥檚 order.
...
"Something鈥檚 wrong!"
Shi Yan woke up from his cultivation, his face solemn.
"What?" Zi Yao furrowed her dark brows. She couldn鈥檛 help but feel tired. "Recently, we haven鈥檛 needed to dodge them much. I can sense something wrong too. Maybe, they gave us up?"
"It鈥檚 not that they gave us up. They have changed their tactics certainly."
Shi Yan stood up, looking at countless flaming meteorolites in front of him. "I don鈥檛 know why I can鈥檛 sense their life magnetic field anymore. I can鈥檛 locate them."
"Are you sure they aren鈥檛 too far from us?" Zi Yao was somber.
"It鈥檚 impossible that we can cut them off. Those pirates seem to have disappeared into thin air. If we had lengthened the distance with them, it should have been gradual, not abruptly like right now." Shi Yan shook his head, "I think that the others are trying to dodge my Soul Consciousness sensing."
Panic crossed Zi Yao鈥檚 eyes as she seemed to remember something. "I heard that at the areas where sunbeams are interlacing. There are many places they can use to hide away from the Soul Consciousness sensing. Some warriors who have been pursued would come to the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field and hide there. They would rather consume their energy to resist the lethal sunbeams than being detected."
"It鈥檚 obvious that Ka Tuo鈥檚 gang has done the same." Shi Yan suddenly felt a headache. "It鈥檚 tough now. Seems like our nice days have to end here."
Zi Yao discolored.
