Was it you that night?
Chapter 169 - 167: Saucy Mr. Wuya

Chapter 169: Chapter 167: Saucy Mr. Wuya

Shen Zhiyao was dumbfounded, and seeing that Qinghe too was rooted to the spot, she hurriedly pushed her younger sister.

Shen Qinghe’s complexion was slightly embarrassed, somewhat skeptical whether she had just drooled over Dongfang Wuya’s beauty.

Having seen Dongfang Wuya’s face so many times, she was still perplexed that she could be enchanted by a man’s beauty.

Once she regained her composure, she approached with a beaming smile, "Mr. Wuya has arrived. Would you like to come into the Simple Residence Courtyard for a sit?"

Dongfang Wuya looked at Shen Qinghe with a haughty gaze, thinking that her face was blooming like peach blossoms and her smile was rippling; could it be because of Xiao Chen that she was smiling so radiantly?

Shen Qinghe felt a tingling on her scalp under Dongfang Wuya’s gaze, and subconsciously touched her own face, thinking there was something dirty on it.

"The Xuantian Mirror has fallen into the Simple Residence Courtyard, this lord has just come to retrieve it." Dongfang Wuya gestured towards the Xuantian Mirror on the ground, and the mirror flew into his palm.

Shen Zhiyao was agape with amazement, secretly wondering how someone’s every movement could be so enticing?

"Then... Uncle-Master, please take your time leaving?" Shen Qinghe said respectfully.

Dongfang Wuya gave her a fleeting glance and vanished from the spot in an instant.

Shen Zhiyao patted her own small chest, "Mr. Wuya’s presence is too strong; it’s hard to breathe around him."

"Elder sister is having trouble breathing because of Mr. Wuya’s beauty, right?" teased Shen Qinghe.

Shen Zhiyao pinched Shen Qinghe’s wrist hard, "You little wretch, dare to tease your sister? Do you dare say you don’t find it hard to breathe when you see Mr. Wuya’s beauty?"

Shen Qinghe, of course, wasn’t willing to admit it, and the sisters, pushing and shoving each other, entered the Simple Residence Courtyard.

But no sooner had both of their feet crossed the threshold than another loud noise came from outside the Simple Residence Courtyard. The sisters exchanged glances and immediately turned around to leave the courtyard to see what had happened.

They saw the Xuantian Mirror lying outside the Simple Residence Courtyard, and just as they had been discussing, the stunning male protagonist came sauntering out of the void, looking as if he was deliberately flaunting his beauty.

The Shen sisters’ eyes were glued to Dongfang Wuya; they couldn’t take their eyes off him.

Normally, Dongfang Wuya kept a low profile, never sitting with proper decorum, and his every appearance never quite as filled with provocative vigor as it was today.

The Shen sisters were spellbound, but it was Shen Zhiyao who first came to her senses, pushing Shen Qinghe forward to attend to this esteemed guest.

Shen Qinghe shot a glare back at Shen Zhiyao, suspecting that Mr. Wuya had overheard their sisterly gossip about his beauty and was deliberately using this mode to see them embarrass themselves.

Her face tinged with color, she picked up the Xuantian Mirror and respectfully handed it over to Dongfang Wuya.

But as Dongfang Wuya took the Xuantian Mirror, he "incidentally" also grasped her hand in his palm and "incidentally" squeezed her hand.

In such a moment, Shen Qinghe didn’t know how to manage her expression, so she could only keep a straight face while he squeezed her hand again and again.

"Shen Qinghe, do you think Xiao Chen is handsome?" Dongfang Wuya asked indifferently.

Being a frank person, Shen Qinghe nodded and replied, "Handsome."

As soon as she spoke, Shen Zhiyao kicked her from behind.

Shen Qinghe instantly understood and started to flatter Dongfang Wuya, "But even if Big Senior Brother is handsome, he isn’t as good-looking as Uncle-Master. Uncle-Master is not just the most handsome man in Sky Pole Sect... no, he’s the most handsome man in The Four Seas and Eight Wilds!"

Shen Zhiyao secretly gave her little sister a thumbs up from behind; the girl’s reaction was indeed quite quick.

Dongfang Wuya cleared his throat twice and lifted his chin slightly, "Is that so?"

"Of course, it is! I’ll put it this way, ten Big Senior Brothers plus ten Second Senior Brothers still wouldn’t be as handsome as Uncle-Master! Otherwise, Uncle-Master wouldn’t have so many admirers. Honestly, if one day Uncle-Master were to marry, who knows how many female cultivators would weep bitterly," Shen Qinghe said with agile articulation.

She had just realized that even a man as handsome as Mr. Wuya could have a crisis of looks; that was probably why Mr. Wuya was in a bad mood and threw the Tianxuan Mirror.

Finally, Dongfang Wuya released the woman’s hand that he had been squeezing until it turned red.

Shen Qinghe sighed with relief at her own difficulty; having flattered the right way, Mr. Wuya finally let go of her poor hand.

"This lord will never marry or have children in this life!" Dongfang Wuya toyed with the Xuantian Mirror, suddenly declared.

So Shen Qinghe didn’t need to weep bitterly, after all.

However, Shen Qinghe didn’t grasp the deeper meaning behind Dongfang Wuya’s words and couldn’t help feeling disappointed, "Uncle-Master, you’re so handsome, are you really not going to marry? If Uncle-Master had children, I wonder how beautiful they would be."

Dongfang Wuya’s expression became distant, and he was suddenly reminded of the dream Qu Nian had sent them.

In that dream, they had a daughter, a daughter who resembled Shen Qinghe...

Even Shen Qinghe, slow though she could be, felt the pressuring aura emanating from Dongfang Wuya. She didn’t know what she had said wrong to displease him. She had wanted to say a few nice words to coax Dongfang Wuya, but he disappeared from in front of her in an instant.

"You really know how to bring up the wrong thing at the wrong time. Mr. Wuya said he wouldn’t marry, yet you talked about how good-looking his children would be, isn’t that just frustrating Mr. Wuya?" Shen Zhiyao emphasized the words "will not marry" intentionally, wanting her little sister to understand that even if Mr. Wuya was handsome, she couldn’t fall for him.

Shen Qinghe silently nodded, "But I really do think it’s such a pity. With a face as handsome as Mr. Wuya’s, it’d be such a waste not to have descendants."

Shen Zhiyao: ...

Xiao Bai only entered the Simple Residence Courtyard after confirming that Dongfang Wuya would not return.

In a few days, Fairy Qinghe would go to Yuheng Mountain, thousands of miles away, to attend the Immortal Sect competition; it was unknown when she would return to the Sky Pole Sect. He had come to freeload.

After Xiao Bai appeared, he received a warm welcome from the Shen sisters.

Knowing that Xiao Bai enjoyed the dishes she made, Shen Qinghe personally cooked a table full of delicacies. Xiao Bai was deeply touched, "Fairy Qinghe is really kind!"

With such a good Fairy Qinghe, her master didn’t know how to cherish her, always pushing Fairy Qinghe away. It’s unknown what man would be fortunate enough in the future to marry Fairy Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe smiled playfully and asked curiously, "Are all puppets as interesting as you?"

Xiao Bai remembered his master once creating a puppet that looked exactly like Fairy Qinghe, but just after making it, the master destroyed it.

Thinking of that cruel scene, he sighed softly, "Fairy Qinghe is too naive, not all puppets are as likable to the master as I and Little Black. The master’s moods are unpredictable, and if a puppet displeases him, it might be annihilated. I came to the Simple Residence Courtyard this time because I had displeased the master, and I had nowhere else to go but to find Fairy Qinghe."

Just after arriving, he had witnessed the master being jealous over Xiao Chen, and at last, the master even told Fairy Qinghe that he would never marry or have children. After hearing that, Fairy Qinghe certainly wouldn’t harbor any sentiments towards the master.

Shen Zhiyao was busy preparing food for Xiao Bai and chimed in, "Mr. Wuya does seem quite fierce, but he is my savior, so you can’t speak ill of him. By the way, what did you do to displease Mr. Wuya and get kicked out?"
