Chapter 981: Familiar Body Fragrance?

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Xuan Bing didn’t get mad though.

She blandly smiled and said, “Well, since it’s your secret, I won’t push.” In fact she was thinking, [Secret? Humph! I will know it sooner or later. A secret between two straight men…]

Then she stopped thinking about it!

After that, Ye Xiao made a shout to call Darky over. Three people and a horse got on the road. Han Bingxue insisted not to get on the ride. Xuan Bing surely wouldn’t do it either. She was much more powerful than either of them, so she didn’t need to ride a horse.

Ye Xiao rode the horse alone.

Han Bingxue was leading the way far ahead of the other two. Xuan Bing was walking beside Darky.

Actually, it gave Ye Xiao a weird feeling.

He felt like he was a young lord of some wealthy family, traveling with his concubine and servant…

He felt it ridiculous and unbelievable.

However, the feeling just rose in his heart.

He didn’t know why he would have such a feeling…

It was quite a strange journey.

When they arrived at the small town and were ready to have meal, Xuan Bing left the table and found another table to eat her own food, with her back to them.

Ye Xiao felt weird about it.

Han Bingxue looked at her and spoke to Ye Xiao in the voice of an experienced playboy, “Boss, although Elder Xuan is expansive and generous, she doesn’t want us to see her face. Look at her. She would rather eat alone than share a table with us. There must be something wrong about it.”

His face looked extremely wicked. While speaking, he raised up the eyebrow on one side, like he knew something about it.

Ye Xiao jeered and said, “Anybody has habits. She is a lady after all. Isn’t it normal that she keeps modesty in some way? However, I don’t think many people have seen Xuan Bing’s face in Qing-Yun Realm…”

Han Bingxue got even closer to Ye Xiao, “You know what… Do you think she does this because… she’s too ugly? That’s why… you know… When she eats, she has to show her mouth…”

Ye Xiao speechlessly looked at him then said, “I guess you need a punch on your face. What an annoying mouth… What does it concern you whether she is ugly or not?”

“Not at all. Heh, heh, heh, heh…” Han Bingxue moved his head away and rubbed his nose.

[Why does boss seem lost? I didn’t say anything serious. Isn’t it the art of brotherhood to have some little chats on the table? Why does he have to be so strict to me?]

In fact, he was right about Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao was a bit lost.

When Xuan Bing was still sitting beside him on the same table, she was too close to him.

She was almost touching him on the table.

Whatever she did, she made him feel like she had gotten used to staying with him. They just looked like a couple!

When she first sat down, Ye Xiao smelled a refres.h.i.+ng fragrance. It was a beautiful scent from the body of a woman.

She was great in martial art, but she was still a woman. It was normal that she had a special fragrance on the body.

What surprised Ye Xiao was that the fragrance seemed so familiar to him…

He sniffed it subconsciously.

That was when Xuan Bing suddenly stood up and went to another table to have her meal alone.

Ye Xiao was totally a rookie in the area of love stories. He didn’t know what he did that had made him look like a satyr to a woman. He was lost in the thoughts of the fragrance… [Why is it so familiar? It should be my first time to meet Elder Xuan Bing, no matter in this life or the previous one.]

[I am sure about it.]

[Why would I feel familiar?]

[Is it the Ling Xiao Ice Art of her? But… Bing Xinyue and Wenren Chuchu didn’t have this fragrance on them. I have been quite close to both of them too. If they have such a wonderful fragrance, I should have smelled it!]

[Maybe when I was touching them, I was too concentrated, so I didn’t realize that I was smelling it. However, deep inside my heart, I did remember their fragrance. Is it possible?]

[I should try to smell her a few more times. Maybe it will arouse my memory about it, and I will figure out the reason!]

He was lost in thoughts, thinking about different possibilities. That was why he looked lost.

On the other side, Xuan Bing pretended to be cold and indifferent while sitting on the other table. She was covered by the aura of ‘do not come close’. She was like an ice mountain that had last for billion years.

In fact, her heart was beating fast.

When Ye Xiao sniffed, she knew she had made a mistake.

That was a big mistake.

[He has stayed with me and cuddled me in sleep every night for half a year. Of course he knows the smell of my body! What if he recognizes me…]

[I am not ready yet.]

[I am not ready, both physically and mentally…]

[Neither.]

[I was too close to him. I didn’t even realize what I was doing. I have gotten used to being his maid during the days with him. It influenced me till the present. Although I realized the mistake when I had just sat there for a short time and hurriedly got away, he already noticed it. Why is his nose so sharp?]

[Humph! Even if he did recognize me, so what? I will just say no. I don’t know him. I have no relation to him…]

[What could he do? What does he dare to do?]

Xuan Bing wrinkled her nose and made up her mind.

They didn’t hesitate and just got back on the road after the meal. Ye Xiao realized Xuan Bing was staying far from him on purpose. Every time when he tried to get close and sniff, Xuan Bing would casually walk away a few steps. He just couldn’t smell that fragrance again.

In the end, he figured they were too slow, so he whipped Darky to urge it.

Darky got angry and started to run fast. Han Bingxue and Xuan Bing were both powerful cultivators. Even though Darky was the King of Horses, which was faster than other horses, it couldn’t run pa.s.s them. Three persons and a horse had run fifteen hundred miles when night had come.

Darky was sweating but spirited. It seemed able to keep running.

Han Bingxue and Xuan Bing had their Jing and Mai full of energy. They didn’t feel tired at all. Ye Xiao, who had been riding the horse, felt ache on the legs.

They could have kept running, but they stopped.

Something happened.

A shadow was approaching fast from the sky like lightning. It was a person. When the three of them saw it, it fell to the ground.

– Bang! – A person fell in front of Ye Xiao!
