Chapter 123: Crying

Jun Wu Xiao saw that the person he caught didn’t die and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought:

"Luckily, I made it in time. If I had kept laughing, she would have really fallen to the ground."

"Miss, are you alright? Why did you suddenly jump? If you had continued arguing, I would have had more fun watching." Jun Wu Xiao said.

At first, the young woman was a bit vibrated, but hearing the latter part of his sentence made her want to bite him. She tried to bite his hand, but he stopped her. He said:

"Stop it, if you don’t want to break your teeth, don’t bite me. My body is very hard."

The young woman was stunned hearing this. She suddenly realized that she hadn’t touched the ground yet, which seemed quite illogical. She looked around and discovered that she was still floating in mid-air. She exclaimed in surprise:

"You can fly?"

Jun Wu Xiao nodded and then descended to the ground. Flying for too long was exhausting, and staying afloat was uncomfortable.

"That’s right. What’s your name? My name is Jun Wu Xiao." he said.

By this time, he found himself quite intrigued by her. It wasn’t because she was equal to Yue Guang’s beauty, he wasn’t a lecherous type. But her mad way of speaking made him find it interesting.

Her demeanor was mad yet very clear-headed. He could sense some of her thoughts. She wasn’t talking extravagantly because she had fallen into a dead end, but because she liked it that way.

It can be said that when two unusual people meet each other, they develop sympathy. Well, none of his friends look like normal people.

"My name is Gu Zhou Jian. Hey, where is your hand touching? Bastard, I’m going to beat you to death." Gu Zhou Jian said, then punched Jun Wu Xiao hard in the chest.

He was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was happening, letting her punch him. But after just one punch, she grabbed her fist and cursed:

"Bastard, are you wearing armor or something? Your body is as hard as steel."

"Huh, are you alright? Why did you suddenly go mad? And didn’t I tell you my body is very tough? Why did you hit it?" Jun Wu Xiao asked, puzzled and he let her down.

He wasn’t pretending to be clueless, he genuinely didn’t understand why she was angry. Wasn’t it just touching her body? Back in the day when he sparred with Yue Guang, he touched her all the time, and every time he did, there were bruises and even fractured bones.

"Argh, I’m so mad I could die. You bastard, you have to take responsibility for me." Gu Zhou Jian said without explaining.

She was still very young, only around twenty years old, so someone older like Jun Wu Xiao probably wouldn’t understand her. No, to be precise, he didn’t understand much about human culture, whether modern or ancient.

Jun Wu Xiao was stunned. He was the most carefree in the group, a person without lofty ambitions or enormous responsibilities. Now, suddenly, someone was asking him to take responsibility, and he truly didn’t understand. He thought:

"Take responsibility? What did I do? Humans are really hard to understand, maybe it’s because I lack knowledge about human culture."

"Could you first explain to me in detail? Do humans have a culture where touching someone means you have to take responsibility?" Jun Wu Xiao asked innocently.

Hearing this, Gu Zhou Jian was furious, but looking at his innocent face, she realized he wasn’t pretending to be ignorant—he really was clueless. She took a deep breath to calm down and said:

"How dare you ask me? You’re the first person who’s ever dared to touch me like that. If you hadn’t saved me, I wouldn’t be asking you to take responsibility, I’d be finding a way to beat you up." Gu Zhou Jian said.

Jun Wu Xiao nodded and said:

"So that’s it. But what does taking responsibility entail? I really don’t understand."

At this point, Gu Zhou Jian wanted to punch him, but hitting him was like punching a block of iron. If she punched him, he wouldn’t feel pain, but her hand would hurt. She tried to remain calm and said:

"I want to marry you. Understand? If you hadn’t saved me, I would definitely find a way to beat you until you cried."

Jun Wu Xiao found this quite amusing. Someone who hadn’t even reached the body refinement realm dared to threaten him. He laughed out loud:

"Ha ha ha, you? Someone who’s not even a cultivator?"

"Never underestimate others. Right now, I’m not a cultivator, but I’m still young and have time to strive. If it weren’t for that damned family of mine constantly bothering me, I might have already broken through to the body refinement realm." Gu Zhou Jian retorted.

Although she said this, she felt this goal was quite distant. She had seen body refinement realm cultivators before, and they were far inferior to the person standing before her. Yet, she still couldn’t understand how someone look so young could be this powerful.

Jun Wu Xiao, feeling spirited, clapped his hands in applause and laughed, saying:

"Ha ha, great spirit, keep it up."

However, his tone didn’t sound like he was praising her but rather mocking, which made her feel even more annoyed.

Since confronting him with force didn’t work, she reluctantly had to resort to her last trick: crying. That’s right, she was about to cry.

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes like a professional actress. That’s because she was acting, not actually crying. A person who was shot at by a bullet didn’t tremble even a little bit, so how could she cry so easily?

"Hic hic, waaah, you’re a bastard, you’re a scoundrel. You took advantage of a girl and won’t take responsibility. Are you even a man?" she said, crying.

This method proved effective, as Jun Wu Xiao’s mind was quite in chaos. He thought:

"Damn it, I’m 100% sure you’re acting. But I have no idea how to handle this. Ah, right. If an opponent uses an unexpected method, just use a similar one to counter them. Even if you can’t win, both will draw."

And so, he began to cry as well, his sobs louder than Gu Zhou Jian’s:

"Hu hu hu, this is so unfair. I just wanted to do a good deed, and now you’re making me take responsibility. Is this how you treat someone? You’re the real scoundrel."

Gu Zhou Jian was shocked at this moment, not expecting him to be so shameless. Moreover, he cried even louder and more pathetically than she did. She thought:

"Argh, this despicable bastard. Am I that ugly? This is the first time someone has treated me like this. I’m so mad I could die."

And so, neither of them backed down, and the two of them continued crying loudly in the forest. The sight of two people, two hundred years apart in age, competing in crying did not fit the image of a Guardian God at all.
