Chapter 1566: Chapter 1388: A Stormy Night in Jianghu

"Have you heard of me?" Xuan Nu was surprised, but soon after, she asked somewhat disappointedly, "Was it good or bad? And who told you?"

"Of course, it was a good thing," Xia Dabao began to run off at the mouth again, "Now that Yun Xiao has been assigned to protect me, I heard it from him."

"Oh, he said it?" Xuan Nu was surprised. She had seen Yun Xiao a few times, and each time she was captivated by his devilishly handsome appearance. Yet, every time they met, he was cold and never offered a smile.

Yun Xiao then gave Xia Dabao a sidelong glance, choosing not to expose her for now, waiting to see what she was up to.

"Of course he said it. Otherwise, why would I feel a sense of kinship when I heard you are Xuan Nu? It happened like this, I was bored in the room one day and started chatting with Yun Xiao. I asked him, ’Who is the most beautiful lady in the Southern Zhao Country?’ Yun Xiao immediately said it was you, Xuan Nu. He said he had seen you a few times and each time found you not only beautiful but also very appealing. He even said he wanted to ’taste’ your flavor, although I’m not sure what he meant by ’flavor.’ Xuan Nu, we know fruits have flavors, dim sum has flavors; do people have flavors too?" Xia Dabao feigned innocence.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Nu’s face turned bright red. She glanced at Yun Xiao, who coincidentally, was also looking at her.

Actually, Yun Xiao just wanted to see if Xuan Nu would fall for it, and from what he saw, he thought she was rather foolhardy.

"Don’t listen to her nonsense. When have I ever spoken about you? I don’t even remember you," Yun Xiao said coldly.

But Xuan Nu chose to believe what she wanted to believe. She hoped Yun Xiao had mentioned her and naturally believed Xia Dabao’s words.

Xuan Nu took a sip of wine then looked at Yun Xiao, "Envoy Yun, since you think so highly of me, I’ll toast to you. In the future..."

Speaking of the future, Xuan Nu’s face showed a shy expression, "in the future, we can have a proper talk, or maybe talk privately. What do you think?"

Yun Xiao, however, didn’t give her the slightest consideration. He didn’t just refuse to drink with her; he wouldn’t even spare Xuan Nu a glance.

But Xia Dabao kept encouraging Xuan Nu on the side, "Xuan Nu, Yun Xiao is famously cold on the outside but warm on the inside in the Chi Xia Tribe. He won’t talk to you for now, but if you have the patience, just go back. Perhaps on some dark and windy night, he might come looking for you."

At this, Xia Dabao received another glare.

Yet, Xuan Nu believed Xia Dabao’s words. Since Yun Xiao refused to drink with her, staying longer would only make her a nuisance. It might be better to return to Moon Heart Tribe, perhaps then Yun Xiao would start to see her differently.

Playing hard to get, as it were.

Xuan Nu went back to the tent of the Moon Heart Tribe where the Goddess of the tribe, seeing her return alone and looking at Yun Xiao, who was clearly not drunk, became very displeased, "Didn’t I ask you to get Yun Xiao drunk? You can’t even do that, still calling yourself Xuan Nu."

"Incompetent Xuan Nu," although Xuan Nu’s expression was one of admitting her fault, she was feeling quite exhilarated inside.

It showed that Yun Xiao wasn’t lecherous, a trait far better than other men. Usually, the chief of the Moon Heart Tribe always taught them that all men are bad, yet often encouraged them to seduce men. Many men were easily seduced, only Yun Xiao...

Might take a slow approach.

Seeing Xuan Nu’s incompetent appearance infuriated the Goddess, who then sent another lady known for her heavenly beauty from the tribe—Little Goddess.

She wouldn’t send Little Goddess unless absolutely necessary.
