Chapter 1: Bai Yunfei --- Part 2

The number one aristocratic family of Luoshi City, the Zhang family, controlled almost half of the city’s various business shops. Moreover, it was a well-known family of soul cultivators. Even though this so-called ‘well-known family’ was not worth mentioning at all in the context of the entire continent, in this Luoshi City, it was an entity to which even the mayor had to yield to a certain extent.

Of course no commoners dared to block the way of the Zhang family’s master and young master.

“Little sister Meng’er, I never thought you would come to Luoshi City together with my father. You should have sent someone to tell me about this a bit earlier so that I could prepare some interesting things for you, making you enjoy yourself…”That youngster talked to the girl beside him with a broad smile on his face. This person was none other than the young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Yang.

Despite Zhang Yang’s flattery, the young girl showed no expression. She only said in an indifferent manner: “I just happened to meet uncle when I was strolling about Yinsha City. So out of convenience, I came here together with him to pay a visit to auntie. There’s no need to prepare anything for me. I’m going to leave in a few days.” At the end she slightly wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows then continued: “Also, don’t call me Meng’er. I’m not your little sister or something either. Call me by my name, Liu Meng.”

“Haha, what are you talking about, little sister Meng’er? Actually, you should already know the intention of the elders in our 2 families. We…”Zhang Yang, however, was not discouraged by her coldness.

“Now I don’t want to think about anything else. This time I went out for a stroll only because all along I couldn’t break through to the middle Soul Warrior stage. So I wanted to go out to relieve my boredom a bit then return home to continue my training without worries.” The young girl named Liu Meng cut Zhang Yang short.

“What? You are already about to reach the middle Soul Warrior stage? I remember we broke through to the Soul Personage stage at about the same time. It’s been just a year. I’m still at the middle Soul Personage stage but you’ve already improved so much!” This time Zhang Yang did not continue to court her shamelessly. He gave a light shout instead, his face full of shock.

Hearing that, Liu Meng cast a somewhat disdainful look at him then shifted her eyes to a place on a side of the street, saying: “I’m different from some people who idle about all day.”

“Eh…” Pressed by these words, Zhang Yang was somewhat embarrassed. He stopped this topic then, with a smiling expression, pointed to a small tanghulu stand on a side of the street, saying: “Little sister Meng… Eh… Liu Meng, it’s tanghulu, which girls love to eat. You often focus on training at home so you rarely eat these little things, right? I’ll get a skewer for you to taste.”

After saying so, he immediately went over, took a skewer of tanghulu then turned around and returned to Liu Meng’s side. The owner of that stand did not even dare to show a hint of discontent. Instead he forced a faint, ingratiating smile on his hoary face… Liu Meng received the skewer somewhat curiously, looked at it for a while then stuck out her little tongue and licked the sugar coat a bit. A hint of a smile appeared on her face, like a plum tree that blossomed in winter. On one side, when Zhang Yang saw that, his eyes were almost fixed on her.

The party kept going towards the center of the city. On the way, Zhang Yang constantly took some strange little playthings from various small vendor stands and gave them to Liu Meng, hoping to win a smile from the beauty.

Just as they reached the opening of an alley, an absentminded-looking youngster dressed in somewhat ragged clothes suddenly rushed out from that rather somber alley on one side. He was walking with a stagger while mumbling something nonstop. Seemingly not seeing the party on the street, he just kept going forwards this way. Suddenly he stumbled and bumped squarely into Liu Meng’s bosom!

The appearance of the youngster was somewhat unexpected and Liu Meng, following Zhang Yang’s introduction, was looking at a satin shop on the other side; moreover, she simply did not think that someone would bump into her like this; additionally, Yunfei’s mind was in confusion at the moment — he did not intentionally approach her at all; therefore, despite being a soul cultivator, she was not able to avoid this collision and was knocked down to the ground by him… Bai Yunfei felt his head hurting badly. All sorts of information were piercing his head incessantly. He did not even know where he was right now.

Suddenly, Bai Yunfei felt that he seemed to have hit something. His body plunged forwards uncontrollably. Then he felt that he seemed to have thrown himself onto a soft area, a delightful, delicate fragrance entering his nose… Nobody knows if it was because of that hit, or that plunge, or that soft area, or that delicate fragrance… In short, Bai Yunfei recovered from his preoccupation at this moment. Even though he was not completely clear-headed yet, finally he could control his own body again.

He shook his head and stood up. Only now could he see clearly the situation in front of him — a blue-clad girl was sitting on the ground before him, her delicate face slightly looking up, gazing at him in stupefaction. It seems she had not pulled herself together after that collision just then yet.

“Eh… Miss, I’m sorry… I didn’t intend to bump into you. Are you hurt?” Bai Yunfei had roughly grasped the situation — he himself had just knocked her down — so he apologized then stooped down, reached out his hand and pulled Liu Meng by her white wrist, helping her get up from the ground, as if this was very natural to him.

Bai Yunfei looked at the skewer of tanghulu that had dropped to one side and scratched his head in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Looking around, he happened to see a tanghulu seller on one side — in order to please Liu Meng, Zhang Yang had specially called the tanghulu seller to follow them. He trotted over, somewhat begrudgingly fished out a copper coin and gave it to the stand owner then took away a tanghulu skewer.

“Miss, I compensate you with a tanghulu skewer. Hope you’ll forgive me. I really didn’t…”

“Bang!” When Bai Yunfei was still talking, he felt a great force hitting him in the left side of his waist then a surge of severe pain. His whole body was immediately sent flying to one side!

Zhang Yang slowly pulled back his right leg. He was trembling all over, his face full of savagery. There was nothing left of the elegant young nobleman image before. He was staring at Bai Yunfei,who was lying on the ground, not trying to conceal the strong killing intent that filled his eyes at all.

“You lowly pleb! Don’t you dare disrespect or flirt with my Meng’er! You… I will kill you!”
