Kabedon
“Who exactly are you?” Mu Yu muttered, watching Long Qingan, who had returned to assuming the identity of Tian Jiancheng as he entered Martial Hill City, from a tree branch of a Chinese scholar tree outside Martial Hill City.
Mu Yu went up the mountain but did not find any traces of Long Qingan, a teleportation, building… nothing. It was teleportation unlike anything Mu Yu had ever seen before.
“What, still trying to work out who our mystery man is?” Xiaoshuai asked.
“I don’t trust Long Qingan but his attitude throws me off.”
“How so?”
“He recognised me.”
“Who doesn’t? How do you expect Celestial Star Sect’s elder to not know the dishevelled, slow young man accompanying the most handsome among handsome Xiaoshuai?”
“Thanks for reminding us you’re the most handsome.” Mu Yu caressed Xiaoshuai’s head.
What Mu Yu really meant when he noted Long Qinga recognised him was that he must have had interacted with the man in the shadows previously. Anyhow, since he had to go to Ghost Gate, he set it aside.Mu Yu set up formations along the way and then dropped into Ku Mu Valley, where Zhuge Xiaosheng and Tian Ran were waiting for him.
Tian Ran flew to Mu Yu upon seeing him. “Is it time to commence our operation?”
“Why do you look so excited about committing a massacre? I thought you weren’t a fan of violence.”
“Elder Zhuge filled me in all about Ghost Gate and Third Heaven Palace’s collusion. They should’ve been exterminated long ago.”
“Mu Yu, are you ready?” Zhuge Xiaosheng inquired.
“I’ve taken control of Tian Xingzhou.”
“He is an Ascension Realm Sixth Layer cultivator! How did y-”
“I persuaded him; I penetrated deep into his soul,” Xiaoshuai responded.
“P-persuaded him?”
“Don’t let him fool you. It was more a result of circumstances. I wouldn’t have been able to do it if he wasn’t so debauched. Anyhow, Patriarch, please wait near Celestial Star Sect for news from me. When I make a flower bloom from this greenwood, it is your cue,” Mu Yu instructed, passing a greenwood piece he had fixed a formation inside of.
“Understood. You two must be careful.” Zhuge Xiaosheng took off.
“Tian Ran, we need to keep your identity secret for this, so I need to alter your appearance,” Mu Yu stated, glaring at Xiaoshuai, who snuggled up in Tian Ran’s pillows.
“Who will I be?”
“Duan Baiqing.”
“That old witch?”
“Hahaha, I always thought you respected your elders.”
“That old witch also had a hand in blackmailing me!” brayed Tian Ran, flashing her pearly whites as she scowled.
“I’ll punish you for her. I can’t bear to waste your beauty with her appearance now.” Mu Yu pinched Tian Ran’s cheek.
“You said the same thing to Qiao Xue. I’m the only one loyal to Sister Tian Ran unlike somebody…” scoffed Xiaoshuai.
“Qiao Xue?” Tian Ran tugged an eyebrow up.
Mu Yu ripped Xiaoshuai out of Tian Ran’s cushions and threw the latter away. “D-don’t listen to him.”
Tian Ran crossed her arms and ambled forward. “Qiao Xue? So… you’ve been with her all these years?”
“Only for a short period…” Mu Yu took a step back for every step Tian Ran advanced until he reached the edge of the cliff.
“I see… Did anything happen between you two?”
“No, no, we just chatted about life, dreams and I helped her rescue Archfiend Hai. She’s grateful. That’s it really.”
“You threw me again! Sister Tian Ran, Mu Yu is lying!”
“Xiaoshuai, I’m never buying you any food again!”
Bang! Tian Ran sent her fist into the wall to the left of Mu Yu’s ear.
“K-kabedon?”
“Look into my eyes, not my fist.”
“Ehehe, you jealous?”
Bang! Tian Ran smashed the wall right of Mu Yu’s ear with her left. “No.”
“Of course, of course, Tian Ran isn’t the petty type, right?”
“I’m unhappy now.”
Defeated, Mu Yu planted his lips on Tian Ran’s and pulled her into his chest with both arms, rendering her dumbfounded. She soon calmed down and reciprocated the embrace, all problems dissipating.
The takeaway was, the best counter to kabedon was to play foul.
“You want me to explain?” questioned Mu Yu, sitting next to Tian Ran on a protruding rock.
“No.”
“Not angry anymore?”
“I’ll let my dad punish you. If not, there’s Ku Mu. He will stick up for me. I guarantee he will reprimand you until you’re on his knees.”
“Sorry.” Mu Yu grabbed hold of Tian Ran’s hand.
“Feeling guilty now? It’s okay. I’ll forgive you. Hehe, my mother taught me to be understanding as men have obligations. Liking someone is trusting him. I don’t believe you’ve had a change of heart, so I trust you.”
“I would never have a change of heart. I’ve always liked you, haha.”
“I s-” Xiaoshuai piped down when Mu Yu shot him a glare.
“Let’s raze Ghost Gate and Celestial Star Sect and then go rescue my mother, then.”
“Yeah, yeah, everyone has a duty to vanquish those ghosties,” cheered Xiaoshuai.
