Flawless!
The beeps on the phone bewildered Yang Tian, who was plenty confused already. He passed the phone to the girl and sped off, surprising the girl and Eddie, who rubbed his eyes.
“Don’t tell me you lost him, moron.”
“He disappeared…”
Yang Tian suddenly appeared before the four in less than three seconds. Together, they exclaimed, “Oh my god!”
“You were looking for me?” Yang Tian glanced over to see the man choking Qing Xiaoyue. “Release her.”
“Don’t move! Hands behind your head, and down on your knees!” The man shouted as he drew his gun.
The other two drew their guns and questioned if they were to shoot to kill. Qing Xiaoyue covered her eyes. They fired the first bullet. Yang Tian finger thrust the bullet, cracking it instantly and dropping the shooter’s jaw. The shooter panicked and begun cursing the mission. Meanwhile, Eddie was shooting blood from his forehead – courtesy of the bullet Yang Tian deflected back.
The man in black fired wildly as a means of calming himself. Yang Tian volleyed the shots right back at him, puncturing him.
The other member had a panic attack and died without putting up a fight.
Qing Xiaoyue looked as white as a sheet.
Yang Tian asked, “You all right? What were they looking for me for?”
Qing Xiaoyue curled up into a ball and recounted the events after Yang Tian left. He went over and patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t be scared. They tried to kill you, and I killed them. It’s fair and normal.”
“I’m scared!”
Qing Xiaoyue threw herself into Yang Tian’s arms and wailed, unable to process all the laws she abided to breaking in such a short time frame. Yang Tian patted her on the back until she fell asleep. He smiled hopelessly and touched his nose. He decided to ask her about the world after she came to. Then, he carried her to the bed and left the room. Once he was done mulling, he opened his eyes and exclaimed, “This is a flawless world”
Yang Tian was too high strung before to notice it. He took a deep breath. People would turn the planet into a rich land even if they could not cultivate in this world if there was sufficient energy. It begged the question: why was the planet flawless? At the same time, it made one ponder why people could not cultivate in a flawless planet. He could not inspect the planet for he could not use his Divine Soul. He felt helpless due to the numerous handicaps imposed on him.
Yang Tian turned around and chuckled. “What are you afraid of, Miss? I won’t hurt you.”
“You killed, and they were foreigners.”
Yang Tian smiled. “They tried to brazenly kill you.”
“I know, but…”
“I’ll be taking my leave if there’s nothing else. You should leave if you’re afraid.”
“You’re not to leave.”
“Why?”
“No reason. If you leave, then… take me. I want to go with you.”
“You want to come with me? What for?”
“Just cause.” Qing Xiaoyue clung to Yang Tian’s arm. “You’re the reason they tried to kill me, so you have to bodyguard me.”
Yang Tian shook his head. “I can’t let you follow me. You’ll be in danger as a mere mortal.”
“Mere mortal? I insist on following you. They’ll come after me again if you leave. You’re not going to leave me for dead, are you?”
Though in a dilemma, Yang Tian felt Qing Xiaoyue was correct. She eagerly added, “Don’t worry. I know this place well. I’ll tell you what you need. I know you’re no ordinary man.”
Hopeless even after racking his brains, Yang Tian nodded. Qing Xiaoyue was delighted, thinking he could train her into becoming superwoman, perhaps.
Yang Tian smiled. “Call me Yang Tian. You’re Qing Xiaoyue, right?”
“Yep, Brother Yang Tian. Just call me Xiaoyue,” intimately replied Qing Xiaoyue.
