Chapter 1628 - 1629: A Man Who Fights with a Woman Is an Idiot
An Zichen was determined to risk it all for this breakthrough—either success or martyrdom.
When Divine Punishment descended, An Zichen had almost lost all hope.
Yet, in his critical moment, he was saved by a Heavenly Secret Talisman from Yang Fei.
And at this very moment, a kiss from An Zichen had saved Yang Fei.
Reflecting on the recent danger, both felt as if they were dreaming.
Yang Fei, still unsettled, found the situation amusing instead.
He chuckled, playfully looking at An Zichen.
"From now on, the two of us can't be separated. If Divine Punishment descends again, it'll be the end of us."
Blushing, An Zichen felt both flustered and shy deep inside.
No one knew that this was the Goddess An Zichen's first kiss.
Thinking about having to kiss this guy every time Divine Punishment comes, An Zichen felt utterly exasperated.
Hearing Yang Fei say this, she coldly huffed.
A Gangqi Butterfly appeared between her fingers, lifelike, emanating a terrifying energy aura.
Yang Fei immediately retreated, his face full of panic.
"What do you intend to do? Are you going to... flirt then kill, or kill then flirt?"
Listening to the guy's nonsense, An Zichen gritted her teeth, and the Gangqi Butterfly flew from her fingers, darting toward Yang Fei.
The small Gangqi Butterfly stirred the air, causing swift changes in the airflow.
In an instant, the Gangqi Butterfly expanded rapidly, its wings whipping up fierce tornadoes, directly going for Yang Fei.
"Wow, she's out to murder her husband!"
Yang Fei let out a loud yell, turned, and dashed out the room, hiding behind the corner wall.
Boom!
The terrifying impact from the Gangqi Butterfly struck the corridor.
Tiles shattered, the floor cracked, as if hit by powerful explosives.
Yang Fei couldn't help but click his tongue; with An Zichen's breakthrough to the True Martial Realm in Gang Qi Myriad Forms, she was even more formidable.
"Damn, I'm supposed to be a proper gentleman."
"Men arguing with women are fools; fighting them is idiocy. If you must fight, do it in bed."
Yang Fei muttered, sprinting down the stairs.
Behind him, An Zichen's silhouette transformed into a series of afterimages, relentlessly pursuing.
Yang Fei felt his soul leave his body, screaming loudly.
"Zi Chen, what do you want with me? It's broad daylight; can't we discuss it at night?"
An Zichen nearly gritted her teeth to pieces, tossing a pair of pants from a server right at him.
"How am I supposed to face people with you running out like this? Put those pants on!"
Yang Fei was stunned, glancing down at himself.
He realized his clothes were trashed, his pants reduced to scraps, feeling the chill on his skin.
Earlier, when Divine Punishment struck, Yang Fei resisted with his entire force of True Martial Qi Energy.
The violent Qi force had shredded his clothes into strips, leaving him barely covered.
After An Zichen spoke, she turned and left, leaving a string of cold words behind.
"If you dare tell anyone about today, you'll be dead. If you tell anyone, I'll kill them."
Yang Fei quickly put on the pants, laughing.
"It was just a kiss, right? What's there to hide? Women are peculiar!"
"Get lost!"
From the side of the corridor came An Zichen's voice, full of menace.
Yang Fei laughed it off, indifferent.
The thought of the honorable and pure An Zichen now sharing such a relationship with him made him smug.
"Hell, with the next Divine Punishment maybe I can sneak in some other fun stuff."
With some naughty thoughts in mind, Yang Fei made his way to the seventh floor.
On the seventh floor, Yang Fei discovered Xue Mingtai personally guarding the staircase entrance.
This noble and elegant young master held a cigarette between his fingers, smoke rising, enveloping him in a faint mist.
Yang Fei widened his eyes: "Damn, you smoke too? Isn't smoking alone boring?"
Yang Fei lazily approached.
Without hesitation, he found a pack of Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes in Xue Mingtai's jacket pocket, taking one out to light.
Xue Mingtai was shocked, eyes wide seeing his tattered clothes.
"What... happened to you?"
Yang Fei sighed, shaking his head.
"It was terrifying. You were right, An Zichen is practically crazy."
"She recklessly broke through to the True Martial Realm, almost summoned Divine Punishment and got herself killed."
Xue Mingtai anxiously looked at Yang Fei.
"How is she now? Is she injured?"
Yang Fei shook his head: "She's fine now."
"Luckily I had a Heavenly Secret Talisman hidden away, or we'd both be doomed today."
Xue Mingtai looked at his tattered clothes, imagining the danger they went through, sighing deeply.
"Don't you remember? Zi Chen has always been like this since she was young, calm on the surface, but bolder than anyone inside."
"Remember when she was seven, we went to the Devil's Triangle on a yacht."
"To save a seal, she suddenly jumped into the raging waves, using a dagger against a Great White Shark."
Xue Mingtai's eyes turned to Yang Fei, showing a strange expression.
"You rescued Zi Chen that time, don't you remember?"
Yang Fei was stunned, feeling countless complex memories flashing in his mind.
He quickly held his forehead: "Can't remember, don't talk anymore, it hurts."
Xue Mingtai sighed, lost in emotional memories.
"At that time, Zi Chen almost got swallowed by the Great White Shark."
"You jumped into the shark's mouth, holding off its rows of fangs, saving Zi Chen."
He spoke while lifting to show Yang Fei's back.
"Back then, you were wounded by the Great White Shark. I remember you had a long scar here."
Yang Fei turned to look, only to see his lower back smooth and white, not a trace of the scar.
Xue Mingtai paused, then realized.
"I remember, after you broke through to the Transformation Realm, the scar disappeared on its own."
"Afterward, Zi Chen cried for a long time about it, saying that with the scar gone, you'd forget her."
The past Xue Mingtai recounted was something Yang Fei couldn't recall at all.
He smirked, shrugging his shoulders.
"You're saying we grew up together, yet I don't remember any of it?"
"Are we blood brothers? What about our parents? What's our connection with the Martial God?"
Xue Mingtai felt he'd said too much; he smiled slightly, shaking his head.
"These things I can't tell you. You must find the answers yourself; I believe the truth will be revealed in time."
Xue Mingtai finished speaking and left, as if avoiding a plague.
From behind, Yang Fei shouted loudly.
"Hey, are we brothers? Come on, if you're loyal, tell me everything from before."
Xue Mingtai turned back, looking apologetically at Yang Fei.
"You've always been the hero of our group since childhood. After you joined the army, I'm not sure what you went through."
"Some things are better left unsaid, so they don't affect your judgment. The truth you find yourself is the real truth."
Xue Mingtai finished, not looking back, disappearing at the end.
Yang Fei raised a large middle finger, swearing.
