Truly, Huo Shui had seen plenty of bizarre things over the past eighteen years, but ever since the day she met Ye Tianyi, all the bizarre things from before had merely been strange occurrences. This was what truly counted as bizarre!
Bai Hanxue had kissed Ye Tianyi in public for no reason, and now Shi Jiayi and Ye Tianyi had gone straight at it in the living room...
It was not just a kissy-kissy thing. She had really seen Ye Tianyi's hand in that sort of place...
If it had only been kissy-kissy, perhaps there was still room to clear things up. But they had gone that far...
She had come from another empire and had been at Heavenly Water Academy for a month. She had also been roommates with Shi Jiayi for a month, and over that month, she had come to understand Shi Jiayi quite well. Shi Jiayi was absolutely not a bad woman, but... why? She simply could not understand it!
Did This Ye Tianyi possess some kind of magic? If he had ruined those pure and kind-hearted girls, that could be explained. If he had ruined women who were already loose by nature, that could also be explained. But Bai Hanxue and Shi Jiayi...
Heavens?
Shi Jiayi was even closer to tears. Her innocence... this fairy maiden's innocence!
"Um... Huo Shui, there's a reason for this. Even if you said I was blind, there was no way I'd take a fancy to a scumbag like him, right?"
Shi Jiayi had originally been raging with fury and ready to slap Ye Tianyi. Wasn't letting him kiss her already taking enough advantage of her? This bastard had actually pushed his luck! Despicable! But after Huo Shui walked in on them, her anger was smothered by embarrassment and shame.
Ye Tianyi felt absolutely fantastic. He had directly completed two major missions, and now he had thirteen million one hundred and seventy thousand Swagger Value!
He could not spend it all, sob sob sob.
He truly hoped some idiot looking to die would show up, so he could spend ten million to exchange for a Death God Talisman and write that person's name on it. Hehehe...
Huo Shui glanced at the two of them.
A reason?
Yes, she would rather believe there was a reason. But what reason could make them act like this? She could not believe it after all.
"Y-you two talk. I'll keep avoiding you. Just now, I suddenly sensed two bursts of power outside and came out to take a look out of curiosity. I didn't mean anything else."
Huo Shui felt that she had interrupted them.
"It's fine. Come over and sit. I was going to explain things to this bastard Ye Tianyi anyway. Since you saw it, I'll explain it all together."
"Shi Baby, how could you call me a bastard? You took advantage of me and then scolded me. You're so bad." Ye Tianyi spoke in an aggrieved tone.
Shi Jiayi: ???
Huo Shui: ???
"Get lost! The sight of you makes my blood boil!"
Shi Jiayi raised her jade foot and kicked Ye Tianyi. She did not use much strength, then she opened that ancient book.
"I'd like to see how you're going to argue your way out of this. There's even a reason? I think you were just lusting after my body. Sigh, being handsome is such a pain." Ye Tianyi secretly rubbed his forehead as he spoke.
"Ye Tianyi, nobody knows you came here to see me, right?"
Shi Jiayi suddenly asked coldly.
"No." Ye Tianyi shook his head in confusion. Why was she asking that?
"If you say one more word, no one will know I was the one who killed you, right?" Shi Jiayi revealed the smile belonging to her inner demoness.
Ye Tianyi: "..."
At that moment, he was terrified.
"Th-there's Huo Shui watching..." Ye Tianyi said with a dry cough.
Huo Shui looked at Shi Jiayi and asked, "Teacher Shi, do you need help?"
Ye Tianyi: "..."
Then Ye Tianyi obediently shut his mouth.
Killing him was unlikely, but beating him up was entirely possible.
Shi Jiayi then looked at Huo Shui and said, "Since you saw this matter as well, I hope you'll keep it secret when the time comes."
"Don't worry."
Huo Shui truly wanted to know why Shi Jiayi had let Ye Tianyi take advantage of her.
"Do you remember how Ye Tianyi made several Star Fortune Stones explode in a row while testing his talent during the day?"
Huo Shui nodded. "It really was strange. Every time this bastard used one, it exploded. He definitely doesn't have the power of the Profound Heaven Realm to destroy a Star Fortune Stone."
"Hey, watch how you address me..."
Ye Tianyi spoke "weakly."
"Shut up! (Shut up!)"
The two women looked at Ye Tianyi at the same time and spoke in perfect unison.
Ye Tianyi "weakly" shrank his head back again.
"Perhaps not many people know this. Even the Dean probably has not heard of such a thing. Only Old Monsters who have lived for several hundred years might have tales of it passed down from their era. The Star Fortune Stone has existed for a very long time. Ten thousand years ago, people were already using Star Fortune Stones to assess talent. There are actually two ways to make one explode. One is to use the power of the Profound Heaven Realm or above to destroy it, and the second way..."
Shi Jiayi looked at Ye Tianyi and said, "When someone's talent is so strong that it surpasses the limit a Star Fortune Stone can assess, the Star Fortune Stone will explode."
In truth, that was what Ye Tianyi had guessed at the time as well.
Huo Shui: "..."
"There's such a thing?" Huo Shui looked at Ye Tianyi in astonishment, then thought of something. "That's not right. Isn't Ye Tianyi trash? His talent..."
Ye Tianyi touched the tip of his nose.
"Unless Li Bang was right."
Shi Jiayi looked at Ye Tianyi as well.
Right about what?
That Ye Tianyi had been hiding himself all these years! But that did not seem right either. She could see Ye Tianyi's realm—Body Refining Realm Stage One. That was not a realm a monstrous genius should have at nineteen years old, unless she could not actually see through him completely?
Huo Shui also looked at Ye Tianyi in disbelief.
"Well, I really am trash. My realm really isn't high."
Ye Tianyi spoke "weakly."
Shi Jiayi looked at Ye Tianyi, then said, "Perhaps you were trash before. There are many precedents for it—trash encountering an opportunity and then rising to prominence in a short time. I'm more inclined to believe that this is the reason in your case. At the very least, the Star Fortune Stone tells me that your cultivation talent is monstrously high. I don't need to know anything else."
In the next instant, Huo Shui directly threw a punch at Ye Tianyi.
Ye Tianyi: "..."
Shi Jiayi reacted swiftly and stopped Huo Shui.
"What are you doing?"
Shi Jiayi was completely dumbfounded.
"I was testing whether he really is trash. When people suddenly face danger, they expose their instincts. But look, Teacher Shi—he didn't even dodge. I think he really is trash."
Huo Shui said.
Ye Tianyi: "..."
He genuinely had not reacted in time...
"But what if it's just as I said? What if he used to be trash but is now a genius? Then it would also explain why his realm isn't high." Shi Jiayi released Huo Shui's hand, her beautiful eyes turning toward Ye Tianyi.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're talking about me right in front of me? At least give me some face, will you?"
"Then you tell us!"
"I'm not telling you. Guess however you like. You can praise me all the way to Heaven if you want. Do you have any Chewing Gum? My mouth is full of someone's saliva. Disgusting."
Ye Tianyi said.
Shi Jiayi: "..."
Wow! She really wanted to stab him to death!
She took a deep breath, ignored Ye Tianyi, and continued, "As for why I did that with him..."
