Martial Peak

Walking through the jungle, Zi Mo stared at Yang Kai’s back with a complicated expression on her face.

Hesitating several times, she was ultimately unable to find the right words to speak.

A long, lingering silence floated between the two while Yang Kai, who was out front, would occasionally pause, frown, examine his surroundings, and then immediately dash off again in a new direction.

Zi Mo was like a shadow, tightly following behind Yang Kai, only a few steps away.

After a day or so of repeating these actions, Zi Mo finally could not stand the silence and suddenly came to a stop, her body not moving an inch forward.

Yang Kai kept traveling a few thousand meters before realizing something wasn’t right, quickly turning back to find Zi Mo still standing in place, staring at him with cold yet confused eyes.

“What are you doing?” Yang Kai frowned, a tinge of displeasure appearing on his face.

“I also want to know what you’re doing.” Zi Mo tilting her head to the side as she threw out this question, softly following up, “In the end, there wasn’t any need for you to go that far.”

“Huh?” Yang Kai stared at her with puzzled eyes.

“Separating from those people! If you had stuck with them you wouldn’t have to worry about your own safety; the only people inside this isolated world besides us and that group are my Senior Brother and Wu Cheng Yi, but with that group’s strength and the numbers there would be no need to fear either of those two masters, so you separating from them wasn’t a smart choice!”

Yang Kai stared at her blankly for a while before an inexplicable smile bloomed on his face.

“You’re not thinking that I separated from that group solely because I was being considerate of your situation, right?” Yang Kai smirked.

Zi Mo’s face blushed slightly as she looked at Yang Kai and asked, “Didn’t you?”

“Hahaha, you think too highly of yourself.” Yang Kai sneered dismissively, “You’re a Tian Lang Dynasty cultivator, and before yesterday, we were still mortal enemies. Even if you managed to put up a good front, you never stopped wanting to take my life. You’re cruel and heartless, and I am certainly not righteous, so why would I suddenly care about your feelings?”

Zi Mo’s anger swelled up as her breathing became uneven, grinding her teeth before cursing, “Since you planted this damn seal on my Soul, when have I ever acted out against you1? I know you want to keep face, and that you’re unbelievably stubborn, but do you really need to act so ruthless!?”

It was the same that time with Bi Xiu Ming, although she knew he was annoyed by Bi Xiu Ming’s contempt and attitude, but part of the reason he acted like that was definitely for her sake as well. However, this pig headed man would rather die than recognize that, so Zi Mo decided to give him some face and kept silent about it, allowing him to keep up appearances.

But after all that had happened, he actually went so far to dismiss her and hide his motives. Was his face that important to him?

“Oh… you think the feelings between us have developed that far?” Yang Kai laughed wantonly, walked over, put his arm around Zi Mo’s waist, and gently pulled her towards him, his hand not behaving politely as it brushed across her skin.

Zi Mo quickly stretched out her hands and pushed on Yang Kai’s chest, bending her upper body as far backwards as she could. Feeling his big hands moving all over her lower back, her expression became dark as she frowned deeply, “What are you doing?”

“You just said I was ruthless, I’m only proving you right.” Yang Kai’s hands suddenly became more presumptuous.
