86: Chapter 86 A Twisted Fate

"A confession?" Lin Bei shook his head, uninterested, and was about to leave the crowd immediately.

"Hurry up, it's Wang Teng, the number one Prodigy of the Central Region, confessing to Fairy Yue!"

Lin Bei's steps shifted. Relying on the powerful physique of his Void Soaring Peak cultivation, he accelerated and squeezed forward.

On the city wall, two people stood facing each other.

One of them was indeed Wang Teng, while the other was shrouded in a white mist, making it impossible to see their appearance.

"Is that... Fairy Yue?"

"Nonsense! Fairy Yue loves to shroud herself in white mist. Didn't you know?"

"Exactly! And look at Wang Teng's affectionate expression. Who else could be opposite him if not Fairy Yue?"

"But... I heard that Fairy Yue appeared at Shudao Mountain a few days ago and even threw herself into another man's arms..."

"How many times do I have to say it? Don't believe in rumors, and don't spread them!"

...

Lin Bei's expression was strange. Shangguan Yue used Chaos mist generated by a Formation to conceal her figure, but the person before him was using a cloud mist formed by a wind-type technique.

There was a difference, though it was indeed difficult for ordinary Cultivators to tell.

The Great Emperor of Passion, truly terrifying!

At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh.

Without even thinking, he knew the person in the white mist was Feng Xiaoyao.

"I've pursued you for so long. Do you still not understand my feelings for you?"

Wang Teng shouted toward the opposite side like an aggrieved little wife, his words blunt and naked.

Below the city wall, the crowd of Wang Teng's little fangirls cried out that they couldn't take it.

"Wu... Wang Teng-gege is so affectionate!"

"Brother Wang Teng, if Shangguan Yue won't accept you, you still have us!"

"Shangguan Yue, I advise you not to be so ungrateful..."

...

The figure in the white mist was clearly very unsettled as well, trembling violently after hearing Wang Teng's words.

"Look, Fairy Yue must be moved!"

"That's right, she looks like she's about to cry!"

...

The person in the white mist was indeed about to cry!

Feng Xiaoyao's expression at this moment was as ugly as it could possibly be.

Initially, Wang Teng's pursuit of him was entirely for the sake of Shangguan Yue.

Later, he found that things were turning a bit strange. The other party's pursuit felt more like playing a game between lovers, making his skin crawl.

A month later, he had to admit that this number one Prodigy of the Central Region had turned gay!

"No! If you're going to be gay, then be gay, but why are you only targeting me?" Feng Xiaoyao really wanted to question him loudly.

During this period, he had also seen Wang Teng take action against others, and he was still that decisive and overbearing Wang Teng.

Only toward him would he show a tender and sweet side.

The one who wanted to cry more than Feng Xiaoyao was Wang Teng...

Cupid's Arrow only hijacked emotions, not logic.

He knew very clearly what he was doing right now, and he knew how ridiculous and laughable this whole thing was.

But emotionally, he was simply unable to extricate himself from Feng Xiaoyao.

Logic could not control emotion. This bizarre feeling made Wang Teng want to bash his head against the city wall and die, yet he couldn't bear to leave Feng Xiaoyao all alone...

"Promise me, alright?" Looking at Feng Xiaoyao, he couldn't help but speak again.

"Say yes! Say yes! Say yes..." The crowd below the wall began to cheer and jeer.

Feng Xiaoyao was covered in goosebumps. If it weren't for his goal of joining the Sacred Heart Mansion, he wouldn't have stopped here to confront Wang Teng.

Who would have thought the other party would be so unreasonable as to stage a public confession on the spot?

"I shouldn't have, I really shouldn't have fired that arrow! That kid, don't let me run into you again!"

At this time, the heckling onlookers gradually quieted down.

"What's going on? Why hasn't Fairy Yue said anything?"

"Yeah... I think I even heard the sound of teeth grinding?"

"Is she so moved that she's speechless for a moment?"

Feng Xiaoyao listened with gnashed teeth!

Moved, my foot! What can I say? Do I have to fake a woman's voice to respond to him?

Impossible, this white mist is already my final bottom line!

Forget it, joining the Sacred Heart Mansion isn't as important as my dignity!

Thinking this, Feng Xiaoyao directly transformed into a wisp of wind and vanished from the city wall.

A trace of sorrow appeared in Wang Teng's eyes, and he likewise flickered away in pursuit.

The crowd below the wall immediately broke into another round of sighs.

"Since ancient times, heroes have always struggled with the charms of beauties. Even a Prodigy like Wang Teng is trapped by love..."

"A fair maiden is a gentleman's desire. I believe Wang Teng will eventually win the beauty's hand!"

"Right, right, right. Shangguan Yue is definitely just playing hard to get. What woman wouldn't be moved by Wang Teng-gege?"

...

Lin Bei watched the two leave and shook his head, sighing.

"An ill-fated relationship! This Great Emperor of Passion, Cupid, really caused a mess and didn't even leave a way to break the spell..."

Suddenly, a large hand slapped heavily onto his shoulder.

"Hmm?" Lin Bei turned around and found that the person patting his shoulder was a tall, burly man.

Beside him was an exceptionally short young man.

"Eh?" The burly man let out a small sound of surprise upon seeing Lin Bei's face, then awkwardly scratched his head and laughed loudly.

"Sorry, sorry. Brother, your back looked exactly like a friend of mine. I've got the wrong person..."

Lin Bei looked at the two giant bull horns on the other's head and also revealed a smile.

"Brother Niu Ren, you didn't get the wrong person! After our parting at Yin Yang Cave-Heaven, I've missed you quite a bit!"

The burly man was indeed Niu Ren, who had stolen the duren scripture at Yin Yang Cave-Heaven. He looked pleasantly surprised.

"Brother Lin, it really is you! It's great that you're okay. I previously thought you had already met a tragic end at the hands of Yin Yang Cave-Heaven!"

It was clear that he was truly happy.

Lin Bei had a good impression of this fellow. He still remembered that back at Yin Yang Cave-Heaven, the other party hadn't forgotten to take him along when escaping at the end.

His gaze shifted to the thin and small Cultivator beside him. "Brother Niu, this is?"

"Oh! This is Brother Ma Hu of the Holy Donkey Clan. He came with me from the Southern Region this time!" Niu Ren introduced him quickly.

Lin Bei's eyes swept over the other's two pointed ears, and he nodded with a smile.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Ma!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lin!"

"Brother Niu, you guys are also here for the Sacred Heart Mansion, right? How did you get here so fast?" Lin Bei asked curiously.

"Haha, Brother Lin might not know, but our two clans are located in the border area between the Southern Region and the Central Region. We're quite close!"

Niu Ren explained to him.

"Plus, after the Saint Old Ancestor in the clan woke up, he immediately had us rush over. That's why we could reach Shengxin City so quickly."

At this time, Ma Hu also chimed in with a smile, "Unfortunately, coming early is useless. The Sacred Heart Mansion won't hold the unified recruitment trial until five days from now!"

Lin Bei shook his head. "Fellow Daoist Ma, that's not quite right. If you had come any later, I might not have run into Brother Niu..."

Niu Ren laughed heartily. "Brother Lin has a point! Come! We must have a few drinks today!"

Lin Bei's expression turned solemn. "Brother Niu, we can't look for that kind of crappy restaurant where we have to queue for a number today!"

"Hahaha..." Niu Ren laughed even harder, clearly thinking of their miserable experience in Luoxia Town.

Wangsheng Tower.

The largest and most luxurious restaurant in Shengxin City.

Just as Lin Bei's group of three walked into the restaurant, a frivolous voice drifted over.

"Heh... These cows and donkeys from the Southern Region really have sharp noses. Not many of our Central Region prodigies have even arrived yet, but they've already come sniffing around!"
