Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that this woman was truly inexplicable. Without his consent, she sneaked into his bed in the middle of the night and lay there all night, claiming that they had a marital relationship and that he had to take responsibility for her. Wasn't this just unreasonable? Clearly, nothing had happened between them. Could it be that the Ji Family was plotting something against him again?
Wang Yi's heart sank, and he coldly said, "Lady Ziyue, I must admit I don't understand your words. What exactly do you mean by having a 'marital relationship' with you? I am utterly confused. Last night, I was drinking merrily with your brother and father and other relatives, then got drunk and lost track of everything. When I woke up, I found myself in this guest room. Hmm, is this not a guest room but Lady Ziyue's boudoir?"
By the time he finished that last sentence, sarcasm was evident on his face. His words clearly mocked Ji Ziyue for being shameless; it was she who had come to him, yet she turned it around as if he were the one wronged.
Ji Ziyue was no fool; she immediately caught the heavy sarcasm in Wang Yi's words and became furious. She leaped off the bed, drew the sword from beside her bed, and lunged at Wang Yi with a swift stab aimed at his heart.
The sword glimmered coldly as it sliced through the air with a whooshing sound. However, Wang Yi's strength far surpassed hers by many realms. He couldn't even be bothered to dodge; instead, he casually extended his left hand and leisurely flicked his right middle finger against the blade that was thrusting toward him. With a crisp sound of "bang," Ji Ziyue's sword was snapped in two, with one half whistling as it embedded itself deep into the beam above, its sharp edge disappearing from sight.
Ji Ziyue felt a numbness in her grip; her jade-like hand loosened around the remaining hilt of the sword, which fell to the ground with a thud.
"You..." Ji Ziyue glared at Wang Yi with fury in her eyes. She felt both humiliated and anxious but couldn't retort even a single word because she knew she was in the wrong from the start. She had never expected that this young man, whose strength was overwhelmingly superior, would be so cold-hearted and indifferent toward her as a young maiden. He struck without mercy. After all, she was the precious daughter of one of the Five Great Families of Zhongzhou; she had always been cherished and pursued by countless outstanding young men who would go to great lengths to please her. Yet now, having approached him herself, she ended up embarrassed before this unknown young man.
This made Ji Ziyue seethe with anger to the point where she wished to tear Wang Yi apart to vent her frustration. Unfortunately, their realms were too far apart; she knew that attacking him would only lead to her own humiliation. Moreover, she had snuck into his room at night to trap him precisely because she recognized his astonishing strength.
In a fit of anger and desperation, Ji Ziyue suddenly burst into tears. With her beautiful face resembling a delicate flower drenched in rain, she became a true beauty that evoked pity from anyone who saw her.
Wang Yi had been standing aside coldly laughing; he wanted to see what tricks this woman would play next. But when he saw her suddenly sobbing bitterly, his heart softened. He recalled how she had saved him during his recent perilous situation. Although he had already refined a Breaking Nirvana Pill to repay her kindness, seeing her tears filled with genuine emotion made him feel that perhaps she wasn't sent by Ji Yongtai to harm him after all; rather, it seemed like she had some hidden troubles that compelled her to approach him so shamelessly.
Wang Yi wasn't exactly a paragon of virtue, but he wasn't foolish enough to fall into someone else's trap either.
He sighed and smiled, saying, "Sister Ziyue, please stop playing games. Let's speak plainly: just tell me directly what you want me to do as your highborn lady in this unusual act? I promise you that as long as it's not too difficult or requires excessive effort on my part, I will do my utmost."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue stopped crying and looked up at Wang Yi with tear-filled eyes. "Really? You're not lying to me? Your word counts?"
Wang Yi helplessly replied, "I promised to help you refine a Breaking Nirvana Pill; have I not done so? While I'm not exactly a paragon of virtue, my words do carry some weight."
Ji Ziyue forced a smile through her tears and said, "That's your business! I didn't force you! If you dare go back on your word, I'll tell my father and many elders that you... you harassed me last night."
By the end of her sentence, Ji Ziyue's face was flushed with embarrassment.
Wang Yi was at a loss for words, wondering how he had ended up being pursued by the daughter of the Five Great Families. With a playful smile, he said, "Sister Ziyue, if you want me to willingly do things for you, it's best to avoid these boring words and tricks. I live my life with a clear conscience and fear no false accusations. If you don't trust me, feel free to call for your father, brother, and the elders. I am not afraid at all; in fact, I can help you call them."
At the last sentence, Wang Yi deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "Members of the Ji Family, listen up! Lady Ziyue is currently a guest in my room." Fortunately, it was still early morning, and most of the Ji Family's younger members were not awake yet. There was only Wang Yi in the surrounding guest rooms, so his shout went unheard.
"Ah!" Ji Ziyue was both embarrassed and anxious. She hurriedly jumped over and covered Wang Yi's mouth with her delicate hand to prevent him from making any more noise. Angrily, she said, "You scoundrel! How can you be so shameless? I still have my dignity! If you call them over, how will I face anyone? This is your room!"
Ji Ziyue had sneaked into Wang Yi's room in the middle of the night intending to scare him a little and make him feel guilty enough to willingly help her with something. However, she did not realize that Wang Yi did not care about such gentlemanly principles. He was determined to become a top-tier powerhouse and would not be deterred by any obstacles in his path.
Wang Yi looked at the furious Ji Ziyue with an amused expression, allowing her to cover his mouth without resistance.
Ji Ziyue snapped, "What are you laughing at? Don't think just because your cultivation level is higher than mine that you can look down on me. One day, I will definitely surpass you!"
Wang Yi gently pulled Ji Ziyue's soft hand away and smiled, "I'm laughing because Sister Ziyue spent the whole night on my bed without doing anything. Now that it's morning, are you thinking of making up for last night's regrets and turning our act into reality?"
As he spoke, Wang Yi intentionally lowered his head to glance below. Ji Ziyue followed his gaze and suddenly let out a squeal as she jumped back. The area above her slender neck turned crimson red, making her look even more charming.
It turned out that when Ji Ziyue had jumped over to cover Wang Yi's mouth, she had to stand on her tiptoes since Wang Yi was taller than her. In doing so, she had pressed against him closely. At that moment, she was only wearing a simple white garment which had accidentally opened slightly due to her sudden movement, creating an atmosphere filled with ambiguous tension between them.
"I can't believe someone with such profound cultivation could be so shameless!" Ji Ziyue hugged her clothes tightly and pointed at Wang Yi with a flushed face while angrily scolding him.
Wang Yi touched his nose and laughed, "How am I shameless? It seems like you were the one who came over first! I thought you were going to offer yourself!"
"You..." Ji Ziyue felt both ashamed and angry but had no retort. Wang Yi was right; it was indeed her who had approached him first. How could she blame him? She took deep breaths to calm herself down while thinking that as the eldest daughter of the Five Great Families, she had lost all face in front of this unknown scoundrel today. Feeling both angry and embarrassed, her eyes turned red as tears threatened to fall.
At that moment, outside they could faintly hear members of the Ji Family beginning their morning exercises. Wang Yi feared that Ji Ziyue's crying would attract attention from them. If that happened, he would have to explain himself extensively and it would involve Ji Ziyue's personal honor as well; if things escalated, even if he was innocent, it would be difficult for him to extricate himself from the situation.
Seeing that tears were still welling up in Ji Ziyue's eyes, Wang Yi quickly said, "Lady Ziyue, why don't you get dressed properly first? Then we can talk about what you need help with. Hmm... I wonder why someone like you from the Ji Family has countless people willing to help you get stars or moons; what exactly do you still need my assistance for?"
Ji Ziyue's attention was slightly diverted by his question. She took a moment to compose herself before stammering out, "What I want to achieve... isn't something just anyone can do. Moreover, there may not be anyone in our family who can help me accomplish it."
Wang Yi understood she was trying to provoke him but smiled without responding—he neither agreed nor refused. He figured he should at least hear what it was about; could it be that he would have to poke a hornet's nest?
Ji Ziyue saw that Wang Yi was not falling for her tricks and secretly cursed this guy for being too clever. She sighed and said directly, "Let's elope. I hope you can take me as far away from the Ji Family as possible."
What?
Elope?
Wang Yi was dumbfounded, completely taken aback.
He had no relationship with this girl, and there were no feelings involved. Now she wanted him to elope with her? This world was too crazy.
So this girl sneaked into his bed in the middle of the night just for this?
Wang Yi rubbed his nose, secretly cursing this Ji family heiress for being absurd. He forced a smile and said, "Ji Ziyue, please don't tease me anymore. You have helped me before, and I have already refined the ‘Breaking Nirvana Pill’ to repay you. Later, because of this matter, I almost fell in battle against your Ji Family. I don't intend to hold it against you any longer. As for eloping, you should find someone else for such a ridiculous thing. Really, I am just a reckless man and cannot afford to climb so high with you, Ji Ziyue."
"You actually dare to refuse me!" Ji Ziyue stomped her foot in anger, tears immediately streaming down her face like a spring. What was it about her that made her unworthy of this "reckless man"? Others fawned over her, but now that she was making an advance, this man didn't understand her feelings and rejected her without a second thought.
Was she really that unappealing in his eyes?
"You are so fickle! Just now you promised to do your best to fulfill my request, and now you've changed your mind faster than the weather in June. You shameless person!" Ji Ziyue sobbed as she scolded him. Her mix of shame and urgency made her look truly beautiful and pitiful.
