Instructor Ye Teaches You How to Pick Up a Girl
"What's going on? What are the servants doing here? How did they start a fire like this?"
The towering flames startled Elder Che. He grabbed one of the attendants who'd been carrying buckets of water to put out the fire.
"I don't know how the fire started either, but the First Miss said it's no ordinary fire. It's the Dao of the Five Elements' flames, so she told us to bring some water to put it out. However, the fire's too strong. The water we've brought isn't even enough to put out the fire. "
The attendant carrying the buckets looked distressed. Water couldn't be stored in spatial artifacts, so they could only bring buckets by buckets from the Sea of Innocence's river.
Even though they were human immortals and could fly, the river was too far away. Even if they didn't dare slack off in the slightest, they couldn't put out the fire as quickly as it spread. Needless to say, the servants weren't even at the spiritual body level. If they wanted to fetch water, they had to run around on foot. They were practically negligible.
Hovering in the air, Elder Che furrowed his brows. These flames were undoubtedly magical fire. However, the only fire-attribute cultivator in their group was the First Miss. She still had the master's precious treasures, so there was no way she'd cause such a ruckus.
So who was it? How dare they set fire to the Skyspan Trading Company?
"Where is the First Miss?"
The attendant with the buckets licked his lips, a hint of worry in his eyes. "She went into the woodshed."
"What?!"
Elder Che's expression darkened. He waved his sleeves and shouted, "Nonsense!
"Nonsense! How could you let the First Miss fall into such danger? Wait, that's just an ordinary woodshed. Why would she go there?! "
"Uh …. She didn't listen to us at all! It seems she's still locked up in the woodshed. She went in to save the man we captured on the ancient path! "replied the attendant.
In an instant, Elder Che's expression turned extremely ugly.
Her love affair had reached this point? The clan had chosen so many geniuses for her, but she'd never taken a liking to any of them. He never would've guessed she'd become so enamored with the Lower Lands' disciple. He hadn't seen anything special about that youth either. Why would the First Miss take a liking to him?
Although he felt indignant towards Xue Honghong, she was still the clan's pearl. Her status was exalted, and he couldn't allow anything to happen to her.
"Tell the firefighters to get out of the way. I'll use the Sea of Innocence to put out the fire."
As soon as those words were spoken, Elder Che raised his hands. An azure light flickered in his palm, and the moment this light appeared, the moisture in the air began to gather around him.
Several kilometers away, the Sea of Innocence's waterway trembled, and a water dragon soared into the air with a rumble. The water dragon was like the source of the river. It brought with it the entire river's worth of Innocence's seawater. With a roar, it flew to the backyard of the mansion and turned into a great storm that poured down.
If he wanted to move a woman, simply talking wouldn't have much of an effect.
Ye Zichen held Xue Honghong's hands tightly. His gaze shifted, and he saw that one of the beams above Xue Honghong's head had been charred black.
"The material is so good that the house didn't collapse."
Ye Zichen muttered to himself. He hesitated for a moment, then, while Xue Honghong wasn't paying attention, flicked his finger at the charred beam. He did it on purpose. The charred beam couldn't bear the weight of the house and collapsed.
"Be careful!"
Seeing that the woodshed was on the verge of collapse, Ye Zichen retreated so Xue Honghong wouldn't notice. Ye Zichen pulled her into his arms, then used his back to block the burning wooden plank.
Then he hurriedly reversed the flow of his blood. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, which landed directly on Xue Honghong's face.
Get to the point!
The blood he spat on Xue Honghong's face was the key.
He couldn't spit it onto the ground, nor could he not. Only when it sprayed on her face would she have the most intuitive feeling.
You got hurt because of her!
But that wasn't all. He needed to say some loving words to shatter her last line of defense.
"Trust me."
He hugged Xue Honghong tightly. His voice was weak, and blood dripped from the corners of his mouth.
"If I'm still alive, I'll definitely go to your clan and ask for your hand in marriage. I'll officially marry you."
Even Xue Honghong was a bit dazed by this scene. He'd sworn such a sincere oath under these circumstances? Suddenly, under the illumination of this sea of fire, this guy that she hated the most, actually made her feel a bit taller.
"It seems like it worked. Once we get out of here, he shouldn't bother me anymore, right?"
Ye Zichen noticed Xue Honghong's slightly dazed expression, but he didn't dare relax in the slightest. He maintained his sincere, yet weak appearance.
"Go. You have to survive."
Hey, get to the point.
Why did he have to push Xue Honghong away now? Ye Zichen had long since seen through Elder Che's actions.
Right now, he had to portray himself as someone who'd given up all hope of survival, someone who didn't care about his own life and death.
This was all part of his plan!
As expected, when Ye Zichen pushed Xue Honghong away, her last line of defense crumbled. She stared blankly at Ye Zichen, who'd just pushed her away. Her emotions were indescribably complex.
Although the flames threatened him, they couldn't truly harm him. Even if the firewood fell, she'd been able to dodge in advance. Ye Zichen's actions seemed superfluous, but to her ….
She was deeply moved!
Xue Honghong couldn't help but recall their earlier bickering. Back then, she'd only thought of him as someone with no ability to talk back.
But after this scene, could it be that this was the real him?
Whoosh.
Just as Xue Honghong's emotions were incomparably complex, rain poured down from above.
The raindrops fell on the flames, and not long after, the raging flames were completely extinguished.
Almost instinctively, Xue Honghong ran to Ye Zichen's side when she saw the flames extinguish.
"We don't have to die. Your injuries …. Are they alright?"
She was still young and immature. It was obvious that she was a naive little flower with little emotional experience. Just look at her. She was already worried about her injuries. Everything was under control!
Since things had come this far, Ye Zichen naturally couldn't let all his previous efforts go to waste.
"Ha! That's …. That's great! I survived …. My injuries are fine. They're just minor injuries …. Don't worry. Once we get out, I'll definitely pay a visit to your family and propose marriage …. I'll officially marry you …. "
Crooked neck!
He fell into Xue Honghong's arms.
Perfect!
The instant Ye Zichen lost consciousness, Xue Honghong screamed, her face covered in soot.
