Chapter 331: Chapter 330: Extrely Frustrated
So, Ye Fan helplessly said, "Look, gorgeous, stop looking at
like that. I’m actually a very, very pure man!"
"Really? Showing up in my room in the dead of night... you don’t seem like a very pure man to !" the Ice Phoenix Saintess retorted. Her words were subtle, but her aning was perfectly clear: get lost.
Ye Fan pressed on, "Just give
a mont! I’ll discuss sothing with you and leave imdiately!"
"What is it?" the Ice Phoenix Saintess asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Of course, it’s about your father," Ye Fan said. "He made a deal with the Divine Dragon. I need to know the location of that deal. Going to the transaction location is the only way I can find out who killed him!"
After hearing Ye Fan’s words, the Ice Phoenix Saintess nodded and thought back carefully. Finally, she spoke, "My father made his deal with the Divine Dragon at Dragon Horn Peak. I’m not certain if that was the exact place, but he did tell
he was going to Dragon Horn Peak before he left."
"Dragon Horn Peak?" Ye Fan repeated, questioningly. It was a mountain shrouded in mystery, and he had never been there. He made a decision. "Alright, let’s head to Dragon Horn Peak tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow? Isn’t that a bit rushed?" the Ice Phoenix Saintess asked.
Ye Fan sighed. "The sooner this is resolved, the better. I have a mountain of other things to deal with. I can’t focus only on your problem!"
The Ice Phoenix Saintess’s voice turned cold. "You were the one who promised to help . What, are you backing out now?"
"That’s not what I an," he clarified. "I’m just saying we shouldn’t postpone things that can be dealt with now."
Ye Fan was speechless. The Ice Phoenix Saintess had him right where she wanted him, and she wasn’t letting go. What could he do?
"Fine! I’ll go with you tomorrow," she finally agreed.
Ye Fan finally felt relieved. Just as he stood up to leave, however, misfortune struck. He accidentally stepped on a corner of the bath towel the Ice Phoenix Saintess was wrapped in. She had just taken a single step when the towel slid completely away, falling to the floor in front of him.
The breathtaking sight left Ye Fan montarily transfixed, his eyes practically bulging out of his head.
"Scoundrel, I’ll kill you!" the Ice Phoenix Saintess roared in fury.
She threw a punch at him, but in her haste, she tripped over the fallen towel and stumbled directly into his arms.
"Let go of !" she muttered, her face flushed with sha.
"Promise you won’t attack
first!" Ye Fan said.
"Fine, now let go!"
The Ice Phoenix Saintess, not nearly as thick-skinned as Ye Fan, imdiately relented. Ye Fan quickly released her and left her room with a triumphant smile.
She erupted in fury, but it was too late—Ye Fan was already gone.
This is great. he thought, secretly thrilled. He loved seeing the Ice Phoenix Saintess despise him, yet be completely unable to do anything about it. That last, fiery mont had stirred sothing within him. He was only just now realizing how potent this feeling of arousal could be.
However, just as he was smugly about to head back to his own room, Su Qingxue appeared.
"Qingxue!" Ye Fan said, feeling helpless.
Su Qingxue’s voice was icy. "What were you doing in her room?"
Ye Fan had no choice but to explain. "I wasn’t doing anything! I was just discussing how to find out the truth about her father!"
"Hmph! I clearly heard a commotion!" The perceptive Su Qingxue was not so easily fooled.
Defeated, Ye Fan could only say, "That had nothing to do with ! Okay, there was a minor incident, but it was a complete accident!"
"Really?" Su Qingxue stepped forward, sniffed the air around him, and declared, "You sll like her!"
"No way! You must be imagining things. You should get so sleep!" Ye Fan turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Su Qingxue’s command stopped him in his tracks. What could he do? She was too formidable for him to resist.
She stared at him. "Why do you always have to flirt with every woman you see? You just had to provoke her, too!"
"I really didn’t provoke her, I swear!" Ye Fan was genuinely innocent this ti, but thanks to his long history of misconduct, swearing had beco pointless.
"I don’t need your oaths," Su Qingxue said. "I need you to have so self-control!" As she spoke, glistening tears began to well up in her beautiful purple eyes.
This is bad, Ye Fan thought, his heart sinking. I’ve really hurt her this ti.
He imdiately stepped forward and hugged her. "I’m sorry, Qingxue. This is all a huge misunderstanding, I promise. It won’t happen again."
Su Qingxue snapped, "You an there’s going to be a next ti?"
"No, no, no! There will absolutely be no next ti," Ye Fan hurriedly replied. That was a close one, he thought.
"Hmph! That’s more like it," Su Qingxue said, slightly placated. "Now, tell
honestly. Am I less charming than her?"
Ye Fan imdiately shook his head. "Impossible. Qingxue, you’re the most charming of all."
It was true. Although Su Qingxue had a bad temper, her allure to Ye Fan was undeniable. He cherished every woman in his life, but when it ca to the one he cared about most, it could only be Su Qingxue.
Hearing his answer, Su Qingxue said with satisfaction, "Such a smooth talker. You don’t an a word you say."
"I do! I swear!" Ye Fan insisted.
But Su Qingxue countered, "Then why is it that my door is never locked at night, yet you never co to my room? Instead, you go barging into hers!"
"I..." Ye Fan felt deeply wronged. In the past, he might have dared to force his way into her room, but not anymore. One wrong move with an angry Su Qingxue could get him killed. He wouldn’t dare even if he had the courage. Besides, who goes around late at night wondering if people left their doors unlocked?
He replied awkwardly, "I... I just didn’t want to disturb you."
"Hmph! You don’t understand
at all!" With that, Su Qingxue turned on her heel and stalked back to her room.
About an hour later, after mulling over her words, Ye Fan decided to take action. Since she basically invited , what kind of man would I be if I didn’t follow through?
With that thought, he crept from the living room to the doorway of Su Qingxue’s room. Her door was unlocked—he rembered her saying so. He pushed, but it didn’t budge. He pushed again, but it remained firmly shut. So much for the door being unlocked!
Ye Fan was frustrated. He couldn’t very well break it down, so he knew he had been duped.
Hmph, don’t think a locked door can stop ! Just you watch!
Since one path was blocked, he simply chose another. He knew plenty of other ways in, like the window. For an ordinary person, scaling a wall several ters high to reach a window would be an impossible feat. But for Ye Fan, it was incredibly easy.
Just as he arrived outside her window, he froze. Su Qingxue was standing right there, staring at him with an ice-cold expression. The sight gave him quite a scare. Although she was as beautiful as a celestial fairy, the atmosphere made her seem more like a ghostly apparition.
Ye Fan gave a nervous wave. "Hi, Qingxue, I’m here!"
In response, Su Qingxue slapped him right across the face.
"DAMN!" Ye Fan cried out, unable to dodge in ti. The slap sent him sprawling several ters down to the ground below. It was a miserable sight.
"So, it was all a sham!" he said in despair.
Seeing Ye Fan lying on the ground in such a comical pose, Su Qingxue finally broke into a laugh, a smile so radiant and beautiful it could topple cities. If Ye Fan had seen her expression at that mont, he probably would have fainted on the spot. After all, the whole situation was just humiliatingly frustrating.
