Chapter 528: Chapter 528 Your Master Has Promised You to Me_1

Upon hearing this, Little Tiger and Black Cat stopped trying to grab anything anymore.

Even though the two small animals in the bat’s hands weren’t big, their appetites were not small either. But now that Liya had already eaten, they could just about fill their bellies too.

"Move aside, I’ll do the roasting." The bat kicked Little Tiger on his bum, "Why won’t you co-operate?"

The corners of Little Tiger’s mouth twitched unnaturally a few times before he awkwardly inched away.

The bat squatted down beside the bonfire and, with practiced movement, took a small stick, inserted it inside the small animals, and then started to roast them over the fire, one in each hand.

Watching the bat’s practiced movements, Zhang Xian was somewhat interested.

Of course, it wasn’t that he was interested in the bat’s roasting technique, but rather that such a beautiful man’s actions were completely incongruous with his outer appearance, which gave off a very strange feeling.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhang Xian turned his head to the side.

Not far off, a strong aura was rushing towards them, it had already reached Peak Innate Realm.

"Everybody’s here?"

Before long, a beauty with long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a small black leather jacket, revealing a slender waist, black short leather pants, and a pair of black boots rushed over.

"Elder Sister Yao Rao." As soon as the bat, Little Tiger, and Black Cat saw who had arrived, they hurriedly got to their feet.

Zhang Xian looked the newcomer, his eyebrows furrowed tightly together.

All this time, he had been seen as a genius in other people’s eyes, and in the context of this world, he indeed was. But what about the girl in front of him? What the hell was her situation? Who the hell said there was no one who could reach the Innate Realm before they turned thirty? This woman in front of him was only in her thirties, why was she already at the Peak Innate Realm? Those people’s words were totally unreliable!

Yao Rao looked down at Zhang Xian, a frown marring her pretty face, she asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Xian replied, "Just a passerby."

"His name is Zhang Xian, we met him on our way here, he just happened to be here, so we struck up a conversation." Liya grinned.

Yao Rao paused for a moment then asked, "Your name’s Zhang Xian? The ’Xian’ in ’obvious’?"

"Yes, why?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile.

Not answering his question, Yao Rao’s eyes held a twinkle of expectancy, "Do you know Old Man Gui?"

"Uh..." Zhang Xian gave a wry smile, "You must be Yao Rao, the Yao Rao that my master often mentions."

A look of joy came over Yao Rao’s face, "You’re really Little Xian Xian?"

"Little Xian Xian..." Hearing this, Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched involuntarily. Although he didn’t deny being younger than the woman in front of him, that name didn’t sound right at all.

Seeing this, Black Cat, the bat, and Little Tiger’s mouths fell open. When did their Elder Sister Yao Rao become such a girly-girl? That’s impossible, they were definitely dreaming!

Let it be known that their Elder Sister Yao Rao was a true queen, a woman who stood by her word, there was a huge discrepancy between her and her current damsel-like demeanor!

"*Cough cough*, all of you can just go away." With a cough, Yao Rao tersely ordered.

The bat, Black Cat, and Little Tiger didn’t want to leave, but under the pressure from Elder Sister Yao Rao, they had no choice but to go. Now, Elder Sister Yao Rao resumed her regal way.

Liya pouted and also followed the bat and the others to the side.

"Little Xian Xian..." Seeing that everyone had gone, Yao Rao squatted down beside Zhang Xian and asked with a smile, "How did you end up here?"

Zhang Xian gave her an incredulous look, shifted to the side, and asked, "Er, sister... what’s up with you? I came here because I have things to do!"

"Why are you calling me sister? Do you think I’m old?" Yao Rao looked at Zhang Xian discontentedly.

Zhang Xian shook his head, "No... not at all..."

Yao Rao threw Zhang Xian a flirtatious look, asked, "Am I pretty?"

Zhang Xian nodded, "Pretty."

Yao Rao looked happy, "Then would you agree to let me be your wife?"

"Agree..." Zhang Xian gave a slight nod.

Sensing something was off, he immediately sat down on the ground, shock written on his face he asked, "Wait... what? Lady, what do you mean by this? We’ve just met, isn’t this a bit direct? I haven’t prepared myself for this kind of shock, my poor little heart can’t take it."

"You’re Zhang Xian, and Old Man Gui is your master, so it’s not like we just met; I’ve known of you for many years," Yao Rao laughed, "Actually, you could say I’m Old Man Gui’s half-disciple too, as he taught me martial arts, but he didn’t agree to take me as a disciple. You’re Old Man Gui’s only disciple and must be extraordinary; that’s why I want to marry you."

Zhang Xian said, "Beauty, I’m not as good as you imagine."

"I trust Old Man Gui’s judgement," Yao Rao said. "I have a bit of an arrogant streak, and most men don’t catch my eye. Only Old Man Gui’s disciple could be worthy in my eyes. Little Xian Xian, did you know that your master has already promised you to me? You were mine before we even met."

"What?" Zhang Xian bolted upright and asked, "Did that old geezer really promise me to you?"

Yao Rao nodded, "Would I lie about something like this? If you don’t believe me, you can ask him."

"That damn old man..." Zhang Xian completely believed that the stubborn old man would do such a thing. With an unnatural twitch at the corner of his mouth, he hastily explained, "Uh... Beauty, I already have a fiancée. It’s not realistic for us to be together. You’ve been played by that old geezer."

"Old Man Gui wouldn’t deceive me, and besides, I don’t care whether you have a fiancée or not." Yao Rao looked at Zhang Xian, "Are you saying you don’t think I’m pretty enough?"

Zhang Xian looked at Yao Rao and shook his head repeatedly.

To tell the truth, the woman in front of him was stunning, the second one he’d met who could rival Mo Shaoyun. However, he had turned over a new leaf now and didn’t want to stir up the other women’s anger by bringing home yet another beauty. Such behavior wasn’t good and it was not fair to constantly provoke the girls back in Tiandu.

"Isn’t that settled then?" Yao Rao said, "I’m throwing myself at you, aren’t you happy?"

Zhang Xian said, "I’m a bit reluctant."

"Haha..." Yao Rao suddenly burst into laughter, "Just like Old Man Gui’s disciple. I like that. Little Xian Xian, I’ve been chaste for ten years waiting for you. You can’t abandon me now."

Zhang Xian said, "I... I already have several women."

Yao Rao nodded, "I know."

Zhang Xian asked in surprise, "You...you know? Did you investigate me?"

"I had never met you before and only knew about your existence, how could I investigate you?" Yao Rao replied, "However, it would be odd if Old Man Gui’s disciple only had one woman. You’re his disciple, you should know how powerful he is. How bad could his trainee be? Right now, I’m not too weak either, am I? But I’m not his disciple."

Zhang Xian frowned and asked, "I’m curious, how do you have the strength of the Peak Innate Realm? Many people say it’s impossible."

"Under normal circumstances it indeed wouldn’t be possible," Yao Rao admitted, "But I was lucky and found something valuable, and it allowed me to step directly into the Innate Realm."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xian was relieved. It turns out she got her hands on some heavenly treasure that was extraordinarily contrary to nature. Otherwise, how could she have directly stepped into the Innate Realm?

"How about it? I’m still a virgin!" Yao Rao winked at Zhang Xian, "Do you want me?"

Zhang Xian hastily retreated, "Beauty, don’t do this, I’ll scream."

Yao Rao called out, "Go ahead and scream! Even if you scream yourself hoarse, no one will come to save you."

"Uh..." Zhang Xian gave a wry smile, then suddenly realized something and quickly jumped up, saying, "Okay! But, you don’t seem capable of beating me."

A touch of surprise flashed in Yao Rao’s eyes, "Really? I’ve eaten a heavenly treasure, so now I have the strength of the Peak Innate Realm and I’m on the verge of stepping into the Grandmaster Realm. You’re a full ten years younger than me, even if you’re exceptional, you can’t possibly be stronger than me. Little Xian Xian, aren’t you trying to deceive me?"

Zhang Xian said, "Didn’t that old fool tell you that I’m different?"

Yao Rao said, "No, but he really did promise you to me, making me your wife and having me bear you several children."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xian’s face darkened.

Yao Rao continued, "Little Xian Xian, it’s very unfair of you. I’m already thirty-four. If you’d appeared a few years later, how could I possibly have lots of kids?"

The corners of Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched awkwardly and he looked at Yao Rao, "Beauty, could you please stop mentioning that?"

Yao Rao seemed hurt, "Little Xian Xian, do you really despise me that much? After all, I’m a flower of the mercenary world. There are so many people who adore me!"

Zhang Xian asked in surprise, "You’re a mercenary?"

"More or less," responded Yao Rao, "But I’m a leader, so I probably can’t be considered a mercenary. Well, I’m the leader of the Enchanting Mercenary Organization. The three guys you saw earlier were members of our organization. We’re here because we took on a mission to hunt an Innate Realm-level demonic beast."

Zhang Xian sized up Yao Rao from head to toe, saying, "I can’t tell, but it seems you’re doing pretty well."

"Of course..." Yao Rao, throwing her arms around Zhang Xian, said, "So, you see, marrying me will be a bargain."

Zhang Xian withdrew his arm and asked, "You sure? If I bring you home, won’t I be bringing back a string of troubles? As the head of a mercenary organization, you must have a lot of enemies, right?"

Yao Rao awkwardly chuckled, "There is some trouble, yes, but you can handle it."

"Well, that’s true." Zhang Xian nodded, "But, Beauty, I truly cannot marry you. I’m a married man, the ladies will tear me apart."

Yao Rao laughed, "You think I can’t handle them?"

"Damn it..." Zhang Xian glared at Yao Rao, "Beauty, don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you dare to mess with them, even if Old Man Gui were to come, he couldn’t necessarily save you."

Yao Rao felt uncomfortable when she heard this, "Little Xian Xian, it really hurts when you say things like that. Also, they’re your women. Do you think I’m stupid enough to touch them?"
