Chapter 461: Chapter 445 The Young Girl’s Heart is Like Glazed Glass (2/3)

Zhou Heng remained calm and patient, sensing every subtle change that occurred within the mountain’s restrictions, believing that before long, due to the accumulation of slight changes, a significant transformation would occur, and there would be a result.

It was just that this might take three to five days.

Which high-tier Martial Artist didn’t possess great patience? Zhou Heng was naturally not in a hurry; he simply sat cross-legged, like a stone sculpture.

The tree desires tranquility, but the wind does not subside; before Zhou Heng could enjoy two days of peace, he received an uninvited guest. In fact, this person was quite familiar—it was none other than Cangao Muyue, the princess of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty.

This delicate princess flew over with wings spread; it had to be said that an exceptional beauty with two snowy wings unfolding in flight across the sky was an extraordinarily splendid sight, filled with a serene beauty that delighted the heart and soul.

Like a fairy, she gently descended, and after a light flutter of her wings, she folded them away.

She walked toward Zhou Heng, but her pretty face was slightly tense; she stopped in front of him without speaking, only letting out a "hmph" through her nose.

What’s the issue with her?

Zhou Heng glanced at her, remained indifferent, and shifted his gaze away, continuing to sit like an ancient monk, showing no intention of acknowledging Cangao Muyue.

"Hey, what kind of attitude is that!" Cangao Muyue couldn’t contain her impatience and protested in her delicate voice.

Zhou Heng sighed and said, "Which fellow has offended you, leading you to come and vent your anger on me?"

"That person is you!" Cangao Muyue extended a finger, pointing directly under Zhou Heng’s nose.

It looked fresh like a green onion—smooth and delicate, her fingernail coated with a light rouge, adding a bit of brilliance and giving Zhou Heng a sudden impulse to cherish and adore this slender finger.

Indeed, every beauty turns out to be a Seductive Woman; it all depends on whether she wishes to bewitch others!

Zhou Heng smiled faintly and said, "How have I offended you?"

"What, what’s wrong with me? Every time you see me, you act as if you’ve seen an enemy, not even sparing me a direct look!" Cangao Muyue said, stamping her Little Savage Boots, but after speaking, her face instantly blushed with beautiful and moving splendor, and she lowered her head, her neck flushed red as if she had reached the peak of shyness.

If you’re shy, then don’t say it!

Zhou Heng felt a bit awkward, but also somewhat touched.

For a girl to say such words that are close to a confession to a man requires tremendous emotional courage because if rejected, it would truly be a heartbreak with wounds all over!

She clearly was not the type of woman to act boldly; otherwise, she wouldn’t appear so timid, making Zhou Heng, on one hand, find it somewhat amusing, and on the other hand, feel a strange excitement. After all, although he had many wives, the opportunity to be confessed to in person was rare.

Cangao Muyue hung her head, her heart in turmoil with wild and rapid beats.

The fact that she could speak these words showed she had gathered all her courage!

But she knew that when it came to the pursuit of happiness, there was no time to hesitate. Although she was seen as a treasured daughter of the heavens in the eyes of others, in Zhou Heng’s eyes, she was just a somewhat prettier woman and did not possess any particular nobility.

Moreover, their few previous encounters had started and ended with conflicts and misunderstandings, obviously failing to leave a positive impression on Zhou Heng. The likelihood of Zhou Heng harboring constant thoughts about her, being moved to pursue her, was almost zero.

Originally, she didn’t care because it wasn’t as if she couldn’t find a good man. Could the daughter of an Emperor have any difficulty getting married? Her own merits were surely not lacking!

But after witnessing Zhou Heng’s fierce battle with Cheng Shangchen and the other two newly risen Heavenly Venerates, Cangao Muyue’s heart was entirely consumed by the image of Zhou Heng alone.

It’s quite normal for a beauty to love a hero, not to mention for Cangao Muyue, who was a princess behind a Heavenly Venerate. With her naturally high standards, after having seen Zhou Heng’s heroism, how could she be interested in any ordinary so-called geniuses?

Even Cheng Shangchen and Gong Hong’en were relegated to the gutter in her esteem, let alone others!

The mind of a woman is difficult to fathom; she might inexplicably dislike someone, but equally, she might suddenly develop an affection for someone.

Cangao Muyue had suddenly taken a liking to Zhou Heng.

Originally, she was quite certain, with her father acting as a matchmaker, that even if Zhou Heng wouldn’t be immediately moved, at least there would be space for their relationship to develop slowly. But unexpectedly, Zhou Heng refused without a moment’s hesitation!

This added to Cangao Muyue’s secret annoyance, yet she came to admire Zhou Heng even more highly, liking him another bit more.

See, see, even she, a stunning beauty of noble status and alluring charm, was decisively rejected, which indicated that Zhou Heng was certainly not a man of lascivious character—after all, if he could refuse a woman of her high stature and captivating appeal, could he be anything but refined?

Such a man might only exist once in the whole world!

Cangao Muyue was initially somewhat angry and also prideful, but after waiting for two days, she knew she couldn’t afford to be prideful anymore. Any longer, and the last bit of opportunity would be lost to her pride!

Therefore, she immediately came looking for him and with all the courage she could muster, she poured out the words that lay in her heart.

The Alien Race beauty lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the tips of her shoes as if there were fascinating flowers on those white boots; her white wings trembled slightly, betraying her inner sense of anticipation and anxiety.

Having not heard a response from Zhou Heng for a long time, she couldn’t help feeling secretly annoyed. She was filled with hope, yet she was afraid Zhou Heng would reject her once again. If that were the case, she wouldn’t know where to put her face.

This stinky guy, dead or alive, should give some sign, how can he be like this!

Cangao Muyue counted her toes back and forth, and she had counted over two thousand times still without any reaction from Zhou Heng!

Really now, is it that hard to open your mouth?

On tiptoes, then back down, Cangao Muyue went up on her toes again and then down, clenching her slender fist then releasing it as if sweat were overflowing from her palms. Her pretty face had only just lost its flush, but when she thought about certain embarrassing things, it turned red again instantly.

She counted to over five thousand!

Cangao Muyue felt her feet going numb, although it was just an illusion, but it definitely had been a long time. She finally couldn’t resist and quietly lifted her head only to find Zhou Heng smiling at her.

In that instant, she became furious!

"You, you are terribly annoying!" Cangao Muyue’s little heart thumped wildly, and she couldn’t help but push her palm towards Zhou Heng with a strike.

Zhou Heng reacted with a counterstrike, controlling his power to be roughly equal to hers, and with booming sounds, the two engaged in fierce battle, kicking up dust everywhere.

Cangao Muyue knew how powerful Zhou Heng was, and that his thick skin could withstand even a Heavenly Venerate without breaking, so she didn’t need to hold back, striking with full force.

However, after about ten minutes, she started to feel weak, and she stopped and stood with her hands on her hips, stomping her Little Savage Boots, reprimanding, "You’re bullying me!"

Zhou Heng was filled with confusion; the one who got angry was her, the one hitting was also her, and now how had it turned into him bullying her? But having married so many wives, Zhou Heng also knew that sometimes women can indeed be unreasonable, so he just smiled and asked, "Is there anything you want?"

Is this guy an idiot?

She had already confessed, and he was still playing dumb!

Cangao Muyue was infuriated, but she had already used up all her courage earlier, so there was no way she could say it again! She snorted and took out a snow-white handkerchief, laid it on the ground, and imitated Zhou Heng from before as she sat down, saying, "Can’t I come if there’s nothing wrong?"

Indeed, don’t bother him if there’s nothing wrong!

"I need to cultivate and I don’t have time to entertain you, so just sit there!" Zhou Heng replied inwardly, but having just heard the girl’s confession like a glazed heart, he felt somewhat touched and couldn’t bring himself to be too harsh.

Who needs it!

Cangao Muyue muttered in her heart but felt some faint pleasure because Zhou Heng hadn’t rejected her. Not being rejected was a good thing, it meant she had successfully taken the first step.

Really now, when did she become so easily satisfied?

Cangao Muyue despised herself in secret, but the faint sense of joy still lingered and filled her chest, refusing to go away. So there she sat dazedly, watching Zhou Heng sit cross-legged, cultivating by absorbing nature’s spiritual energy.

She also wanted to join in the cultivation, but she just couldn’t calm her heart, so she simply let it be and kept watching, thinking she had already boldly confessed, so there was nothing left to fear.

The two of them, one cultivating, one quietly watching, completely lost track of the passage of time. Cangao Muyue watched the clear-cut lines of Zhou Heng’s face, her gaze becoming softer, dazed and foolish.

"Yo, why has the Princess come!" With an odd cry, Black Donkey arrived fully loaded. Upon seeing Cangao Muyue, he immediately made a big fuss, "The greatness of this lord truly knows no bounds, actually making a princess come knocking on the door, pleading to be the Donkey Master’s maid, how embarrassing!"

It put on a coy act, shaking its plump behind with its floral skirt fluttering, causing even Zhou Heng to wake from cultivation covered in figurative goosebumps.

Cangao Muyue was dumbfounded. She knew Black Donkey was shameless, but she had never seen such thick skin before.

"Must you hurry to serve tea and water for this lord? How can you be a maid without noticing these things!" Black Donkey glanced cockeyed and immediately got into character, becoming Donkey Master.

"Who, who said I wanted to be your maid!" Cangao Muyue retorted pathetically. Indeed, it’s a donkey—its skill to take advantage of the situation was unparalleled.

"Princess, whether it’s serving a donkey or being a person, you have to stick to your word, you can’t go back on what you said!" Black Donkey immediately shouted, its face even more aggrieved than Cangao Muyue’s.

For the moment, Cangao Muyue was speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Ignore this shameless donkey, just pretend it’s not there!" Zhou Heng said to Cangao Muyue and had just finished speaking when he suddenly paused and looked up towards the sky.

Whoosh, a figure landed from the void with incredible speed.

Dressed in white as well, with hair like black clouds, and a face like the moon’s beauty, unparalleled in the mortal world, yet this person’s temperament was completely different from Cangao Muyue’s—cold as frost, with an aura that warned strangers not to approach.

The Moon Shadow Saintess!

Cangao Muyue also looked up and their eyes met, sparks almost flying.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
