C691 Who's Going to My Room Tonight?

Woo Zhengyang pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with any ideas. After placing the spirit crystal to reactivate the mountain-protecting array, he stepped outside.

"Master, you're finally out!"

As soon as he left Heavenly Death Peak, Woo Zhengyang saw a figure standing with arms crossed, looking elegant in the moonlight—a stark contrast to the person who had fled in panic earlier that day.

Hearing Woo Zhengyang's teasing, Nie Fengyu, who was standing with arms crossed, immediately jumped up, annoyed. "Hmph, you rascal, you have the nerve to talk? Who told you to bring Bing Yue here?"

"What do you mean I brought her? She came a long time ago!"

"She came a long time ago? Didn't you bring her?"

"Of course not. She even opened a place called Water Moon Pavilion in Profound Heaven Town. I just happened to go in and saw her there."

Mentioning Water Moon Pavilion, Woo Zhengyang couldn't help but recall the enchanting sounds from the attic and the alluring figure behind the curtains...

"Master, what's your relationship with her? Why are you so afraid of her?"

As Woo Zhengyang reminisced, Nie Fengyu seemed lost in thought too, but Woo Zhengyang interrupted him, voicing his own doubts.

"Well... kids shouldn't worry about such things! I'm leaving now."

Woo Zhengyang was speechless. Was there something shady going on? He just asked a question and got scolded for it.

Woo Zhengyang quickly realized why Nie Fengyu had abruptly left.

Not far away, two figures—one in pink and the other in light blue—were approaching. It was Bing Yue and Loong Zhiwu.

"Woo Zhengyang!"

"Zhengyang, my dear!"

The first voice was Loong Zhiwu, while the affectionate greeting came from Bing Yue. Although Woo Zhengyang and Loong Zhiwu had confessed their feelings for each other, she still couldn't bring herself to use more intimate terms. On the other hand, Bing Yue freely called him "Mr. Zhengyang" or "Zhengyang, my dear," without any hesitation.

"What brings you two here?"

"We just wanted to ask which of our rooms you'll be visiting tonight!" Bing Yue teased with a wink, while Loong Zhiwu blushed, leaving Woo Zhengyang speechless.

"Please, Bing Yue, let's not joke around like this!"

Woo Zhengyang felt the need to clarify his stance. Although Nie Fengyu seemed to avoid Bing Yue like a mouse avoids a cat, it only highlighted the unusual nature of their relationship.

"I'm not joking with you. I, Bing Yue, always mean what I say. Even if you are incredibly powerful now and don't need me or the Ice Heart Sect, my words still stand," Bing Yue said with a serious expression.

Woo Zhengyang was stunned. What was going on? The words she had spoken—weren't they about those three conditions?

As expected, Bing Yue continued, "Of course, the first and third options are off the table for Mr. Zhengyang, so now he only has the second option left."

"The second option? What's that?" Loong Zhiwu asked, clearly confused.

"Well, Zhiwu, here's the story! The other day, this guy returned to Profound Heaven Town and happened to come into my Water Moon Pavilion. I thought he had escaped, so I called him up. Even though I was there to help him, I also wanted the King Rank weapon, so I gave him three choices..."

Bing Yue quickly explained, though she slightly altered the story of how she presented the choices to Woo Zhengyang, leaving out the more colorful details to make it sound perfectly normal.

Woo Zhengyang chuckled to himself. No wonder Bing Yue was quick to explain; she was a bit embarrassed and knew that her actions that day might lead to some interesting thoughts.

In truth, Bing Yue was overthinking it. Even if Woo Zhengyang were to tell the story, he wouldn't go into such detail. It wasn't because he feared Zhiwu would be jealous; it was usually Bing Yue who got more jealous, while Zhiwu was more easygoing.

Woo Zhengyang wouldn't say anything because he realized Bing Yue's behavior that day was quite unusual. She wasn't typically like that. Even when she joked around with him, it never went too far. Revealing her attempts to tempt him would really damage Bing Yue's reputation.

Bing Yue's quick explanation showed that she cared about appearances, but her next words revealed she felt embarrassed about certain actions. However, when it came to saying something outrageous, she was completely unabashed.

Bing Yue said, "Mr. Zhengyang, I just thought of something. We need to tweak the second condition. As long as you accept me and join the Ice Heart Sect, you'll become the leader right away. I'll be your supportive partner, and together we'll make our sect the top one under the Golden Scale Sect, maybe even become the Ice Heart Sect!"

"Please, Bing Yue, let's not do this..." Woo Zhengyang felt defeated by Bing Yue. A few more encounters like this, and he feared he'd end up like Nie Fengyu, running away at the sight of her.

Could it be that Nie Fengyu avoids Bing Yue for the same reason?

"I'll say it again, I'm not joking!" Bing Yue retorted, hands on her hips, clearly upset.

"Alright, alright, you're not joking. Please, calm down. Can you tell me what your relationship is with our sect leader? Why is he so terrified of you?" Woo Zhengyang asked, voicing his confusion once more.

Hearing Woo Zhengyang's question, Bing Yue paused to think, then suddenly burst into a playful laugh. She returned to her charming demeanor and said in a sweet voice, "I get it, Mr. Zhengyang, you're jealous! Haha... You think I'm involved with your sect leader, haha..."

Woo Zhengyang was speechless. Where did she get the idea that I was jealous?

Listening to Bing Yue, it seemed her relationship with Nie Fengyu wasn't what he had imagined.

Bing Yue laughed for a moment, then hooked her arm around Woo Zhengyang's, swaying as she spoke in a sweet, almost syrupy voice, “Zhengyang, don’t be jealous. There’s nothing between me and your sect leader. My heart is only for you.”

Woo Zhengyang felt like he was going to lose his mind. If this kept up, he'd never get to the bottom of things.

He had no choice but to put on a serious face, gently freeing his arm from Bing Yue’s grip, and said, “First, I’m not jealous; I’m just curious. Second, you still haven’t answered my question. What’s the deal between you and my sect leader? There must be some history, or why would he act that way?”

Woo Zhengyang’s sudden seriousness startled both Loong Zhiwu and Bing Yue.

But it worked. Bing Yue stopped her antics and replied earnestly, “Do you really want to know?”

Woo Zhengyang nodded.

“Alright, I’ll tell you!”

With that, Bing Yue closed her eyes for a moment, gathering her thoughts, before her lips parted and she began to speak...
