Chapitre 368: Chapter 368: When Shall We Get Married?
...
"Sister!"
"Na'er!"
"Wife!"
Three different names were almost simultaneously exclaimed, but the disharmonious address as 'wife' made the other two furrow their brows involuntarily.
Both Xie Yue and Yan turned their heads at the same time, staring at Zeng Yi, who was peering from the door, with displeasure.
Hu Liena, who was walking towards them, also paused for a moment, a barely noticeable blush appeared on her fair cheeks, soon dissipating without letting others notice.
Hu Liena glared at Zeng Yi in annoyance, then approached her brother Xie Yue and Yan.
"What are you two up to? Aren't we supposed to train today?"
Looking at Xie Yue and Yan, Hu Liena shifted her gaze towards Zeng Yi, who was still in his bathrobe. Seemingly realizing something, she frowned in displeasure and said to the two, "You still want to bother him? Don't forget about the Supreme Pontiff's orders. If you end up in trouble, don't come to me for help."
"Haha, come on, don't be like that. We just came to see how our brother Zeng Yi is living here for the first time in our Martial Spirit Hall. Of course, we have to treat him well and greet him properly. Isn't that right, brother?" Yan scratched the back of his head, chuckled, and deflected the topic to Zeng Yi.
In front of others, Yan appeared very domineering. However, in front of his beloved, he became extremely cautious, not daring to show any impulsive emotions before Hu Liena.
Zeng Yi looked at Yan's friendly smile and even patted his shoulder, as if they were familiar with each other. Zeng Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes and shook off Yan's hand disgustedly.
"Wife Nana, don't listen to his nonsense. This guy just tried to beat me earlier. It scared me. Luckily, you came in time, or I would have suffered his wrath!" Seeing the murderous look in Hu Liena's eyes, Zeng Yi quickly changed his statement, looking at her with an innocent expression.
"I'm telling you, I'm easily frightened. I only heard that you were treated well in the Martial Spirit Hall before I came here. Who knew that after being here for a while, someone would come to bother me every day and bully me while I'm alone. If it happens again, I'll report it to the Supreme Pontiff! "
Hearing Zeng Yi's words, Xie Yue and Yan's faces turned somewhat blue. Although they had strong powers, they didn't dare to claim they could easily defeat him. However, this person, who could utter such words while being utterly shameless, tested their patience. They disliked people who readily snitched on others.
Hu Liena felt the same way and looked at Zeng Yi with disdainful eyes. She had been defeated twice by him, and Zeng Yi had become the target she had to surpass.
In fact, she had been observing what happened just now from the shadows. Despite his considerable strength, Hu Liena couldn't see any shining virtues besides that. It felt like everything else about him was disgustingly bad.
However, such a person had become her goal to surpass, and Hu Liena couldn't understand why. She was puzzled as to why she had to strive to surpass someone like him.
However, Zeng Yi stood tall with a seemingly natural attitude, which left Hu Liena helpless.
"What are you standing around for? Aren't you going to leave?" Hu Liena couldn't vent her anger on Zeng Yi, so she directed it at Xie Yue and Yan instead.
"Hehe, we're going to train. Na'er, are you joining us?" Yan asked. The Spirit Master Competition was imminent and would be held in the Martial Spirit City. Their Martial Spirit Hall would also have a team participating. As the competition approached, they naturally had to prepare more.
"I'm taking a break today. You guys go ahead." Hu Liena felt helpless and raised the sandalwood box in her hand.
"Hehe, then we'll leave first." Xie Yue said, pulling the envious and jealous Yan away.
Soon, only Zeng Yi and Hu Liena were left at the entrance.
"Why are you still standing there? Open the door and let me in." Hu Liena glared at Zeng Yi, not in a good mood.
"Oh... okay!" Zeng Yi hesitated for a moment, then opened the door, making way for Hu Liena to enter.
"Where's the girl from yesterday? Why are you the one delivering the food now?" Zeng Yi looked at Hu Liena, his gaze resting on the sandalwood box she was carrying. Although it was sealed tightly, Zeng Yi could still catch a hint of alluring fragrance.
Leaving aside the topic of conversation, Zeng Yi was rather satisfied with the food in the Martial Spirit Hall.
"Do you think I want to be here?" Hu Liena snorted coldly, not facing Zeng Yi directly. Last night, she was ordered by Bibi Dong to personally take care of Zeng Yi's daily life. It was said that before marriage, everyone should get to know each other and cultivate feelings.
With the Spirit Master Competition approaching, although she was confident in her team's ability to win the championship, she didn't really want to be here taking care of someone instead of training. This made Hu Liena quite annoyed.
Hu Liena walked into the pavilion and placed the wooden box on the table. She opened it, revealing the prepared meal.
The hot food, still giving off steam, emitted a delicious aroma that reached Zeng Yi's nose, instantly arousing his appetite.
Zeng Yi quickly sat down at the stone table and picked up his chopsticks to start eating!
"Aren't you going to eat together?"
"Thanks, but I've already eaten!"
"No worries, I'm just being polite."
...
Watching Zeng Yi devour the food, Hu Liena's mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Can't you dress properly?" Hu Liena frowned, looking at Zeng Yi's loose bathrobe.
"It's fine. You'll see me dressed like this often in the future. Get used to it in advance." Zeng Yi ate his breakfast, casually speaking while keeping his head bowed.
Hearing this, Hu Liena's face stiffened. She felt like she couldn't have a proper conversation with this person. Every time she spoke, he would provoke her.
Hu Liena simply ignored him and turned her head to look elsewhere because she wasn't in a good mood when this person was in her sight.
Soon, Zeng Yi finished the meal that Hu Liena brought and raised his head, only to find that Hu Liena was still there.
"Why are you still here? Why don't you leave?"
After speaking, Zeng Yi couldn't help but slap his own head. "Haha, sorry. You still need to clean up the dishes. Let me handle it, and you can take the box and leave."
As he said that, Zeng Yi skillfully cleaned up the table.
Hu Liena glanced at the wooden box on the table and swept her hand above it. In an instant, the box disappeared, as if she had put it in her spatial ring.
"Change your clothes. You're coming out with me today." Hu Liena looked at Zeng Yi with a cold tone.
Hearing this, Zeng Yi felt something was amiss. Seeing Hu Liena's cold gaze, Zeng Yi instinctively stepped back two steps, shaking his head hurriedly.
"No, I won't go anywhere except this courtyard!"
Hu Liena crossed her arms and sneered, "Our Martial Spirit Hall doesn't raise idle people who only eat and sleep. You must come with me today. Otherwise, the Teacher said if you're too idle, she's considering arranging a job for you, like being a Teacher at the Spirit Master Academy."
Hearing that, Zeng Yi immediately felt discontented. Not only was he unable to cultivate in peace, but he also had to do free labor for the Martial Spirit Hall?
He had become an instructor at Shrek, trained a group of younger disciples at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and now he might have a similar fate at the Martial Spirit Hall.
Thinking about it made Zeng Yi's scalp tingle.
Reluctantly, Zeng Yi followed Hu Liena and wandered through the vast Martial Spirit City.
As the two walked on the streets, being a strikingly handsome couple, they naturally attracted a lot of attention and sparked various gossip among onlookers. People recognized Hu Liena's face as the Saintess of the Martial Spirit Hall. However, Zeng Yi's face was lesser-known. The fact that the radiant Saintess was walking with a similarly-aged man naturally led to speculation about their relationship.
Hu Liena, as a Spirit King-level Spirit Master, naturally heard those whispers. Having never been in a romantic relationship, she blushed slightly on her fair cheeks, feeling embarrassed. She quickened her pace, wanting to leave quickly.
Zeng Yi, on the other hand, wore a curious expression, following Hu Liena's footsteps while taking in the surroundings, examining the environment of the Martial Spirit Hall streets.
The two walked together, but not a word was exchanged between them. Although they walked side by side, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
Due to Bibi Dong's orders, Hu Liena was technically on a date with Zeng Yi, but she had no idea what they were supposed to do during this date. Moreover, she wasn't in the mood to figure it out.
Similarly, Zeng Yi had no idea either. He had to remember every route carefully, as it might come in handy for escape later on. Opportunities like this were rare, and Zeng Yi had to make the most of it. Thus, from the beginning, Zeng Yi didn't pay much attention to Hu Liena.
"By the way, when are we getting married?"
"Huh?"
