Chapter 1091: You Want A Date?

“Back out… what? You want to back out of the wedding?”

Jiang Yi had been talking casually. In fact, he had mostly been talking to himself. He did not think deeper into the implications of what he was saying to Yin Ruobing, much less did he intend to convince her to back out of the wedding. He did not expect that she would have such a big reaction upon hearing his stories. She wanted to back out of the wedding?

He remained stunned for a couple of seconds. Suddenly, Jiang Yi smiled bitterly. “Little Missy, that’s enough. You cannot back out of this wedding. Stop playing around! Go back and wash up and go to sleep. I still have to train.”

The Zhan Emperor had personally proposed the marriage, and the Yin Emperor personally accepted it. This was known throughout the world!

This wedding was already fixed. Nobody could change that fact. Even the Yin Thearch himself could not change it at will. If he did, the Yin Clan’s reputation would be destroyed. Yin Ruobing herself could not change anything either unless she did not want to stay in the East Imperial Continent any longer. Otherwise, even if they had to tie her up, the Yin Clan would do it to make sure that she was there at the wedding.

This was why Jiang Yi thought that Yin Ruobing was saying these things on the spur of the moment. Even if she wanted to, she had no power to change the way things were going to be. With pressure from parents, siblings, and friends, not even a man could change things around—much less a lady.

Yin Ruobing smiled. She said nothing. All she did was reach out her arms to stretch her body and then puffed up her chest. Jiang Yi stared, dumbfounded. Yin Ruobing laughed and said, “What? Have you never seen a beauty before?”

“Eh?”

Jiang Yi looked at Yin Ruobing’s expression. Something was amiss. He scanned her face for a long while before hitting his own head. “Yin Ruobing, why do I feel like you’re different now? Suddenly… I feel like you’re much more beautiful than you were before.”

“Pfff!”

Yin Ruobing giggled and batted her eyelashes at Jiang Yi. “Young Master Jiang, since when did you become such a sweet-talker? This is so unlike you.”

“No, it’s true!”

Jiang Yi said in a serious tone. “I’m not talking about your appearance. I’m talking about the way you carry yourself! In the past, you might have been smiling, but you felt very cold. Now, I feel like I’m looking at the real you. The you without a mask on. This makes me feel… much more comfortable around you.”

“A mask?”

Yin Ruobing laughed mockingly. “You’re right. I’ve always had a mask on. Do you know why Big Sister Chan has always had the ghost king’s mask on? It’s because she doesn’t want people to figure out what she’s really thinking. We would lead really tiring lives if we don’t put masks on. Now, I realize, however… it is more tiring to have a mask on. If I keep going on this way, I’m afraid I would not even recognize myself at the end of the day.”

Jiang Yi looked at Yin Ruobing who seemed exhausted down to her very bones. For some reason, his heart hurt just looking at her. From the outside, it looked glorious to grow up in a great family clan. However, Jiang Yi could see now that it was a tiring business. Even one’s own siblings could attempt to stab oneself from the back. Growing up meant learning to disguise oneself and learn to be hypocritical. In other words, one had to learn how to become like the people they hate the most. A life like this must be tiring indeed.

Jiang Yi walked over subconsciously and reached out to touch Yin Ruobing’s face like he did to Jiang Xiaonu in the past. There was not one fluttering thought in his mind. “If you’re tired, go and rest. When you wake up, tomorrow will be a better day.”

“En!”

Yin Ruobing closed her eyes like a cat being caressed. She stood up, got on her toes, and planted a kiss on Jiang Yi’s cheek. Then, like a frightened rabbit, she flew up to the third level of the canopy. She called out just one sentence: “Jiang Yi, rest well. See you tomorrow!”

She had already disappeared upstairs, but Jiang Yi could still smell her fragrance on his cheek. He tensed up as if he had been electrocuted. There were shock and confusion in his eyes. Since when did Yin Ruobing become so unreserved? Since when did she become so open? Why did she kiss him? Was she innocently grateful, or was there a deeper meaning to the kiss?

Was she sending him some sort of special signal? Did she want to date him?

“No way, Jiang Yi. This is dangerous. You really are going to make a cuckold out of Zhan Tianlei! Pui… Yin Ruobing was not even married to Zhan Tianlei; how could he be made a cuckold?”

Jiang Yi started to mutter to himself. He stood where he was for a full hour before he smacked himself in the head. “Stop thinking so much. I have limited time. I’m going to ascend the Mystic Divine Mountain soon. If I don’t come up with a new Divine Sound Heaven Skill now, I’m going to be cut up into pieces.”

He quickly put a stop to all the messy thoughts in his head. Even if he was going to make Zhan Tianlei a cuckold, he needed to survive to do that, didn’t he? He undid the restrictions around the second floor and retrieved his soft sword. Then, he began to dance around to a beat.

His Divine Sound Heaven Skill was already in the second stage. Logically, he could attack ordinary Demigods by now. If he could create a new song that would be able to incorporate the Massacre Intent, the attack power of his song would be much greater. If that happened—even if he would not be able to kill She Fei, he would at least be able to protect himself. After all, She Fei had only just become a Demigod. His battle skills were at most six-star.

…

The time that followed was calm. Yi Chan did not come to look for Jian Yi again. The other people wanted to visit Jiang Yi, but Yin Ruobing turned all of them down. She herself did not go downstairs again. She waited inside the Heaven Fate canopy, smiling more brightly than she ever did before. She felt like she was fifteen or sixteen years old again. The beauty she exuded made Jiang Yi’s heart race from time to time.

In these few days—apart from eating and chatting with Yin Ruobing, Jiang Yi worked on his Divine Sound Heaven Skill every single day. He was making some progress in terms of writing the song, but he definitely needed more time in order to complete it.

What was surprising was that in these few days, Yin Ruobing never hid her fragrance. The fragrance of the Fragrant Lady Race spread out throughout the entire Heaven Fate canopy. Jiang Yi and others made a lot of progress in terms of their spirits. Although they were not improving rapidly—as long as he stayed with her, he was certain the impact would be positive.

It was a pity that seven days passed just like that. It was time for his appointment with Ao Lu.

“Ruobing, get ready! Also… Get someone to tell Yi Chan. Tell her to get ready as well.”

Jiang Yi stopped working on his Divine Sound Heaven Skill for a moment. He prepared to ascend the mountain at any time. Yin Ruobing was all dressed for the occasion as well. On hearing Jiang Yi’s instructions, she called out for a subordinate. The subordinate quickly sent the message. A while later, Yi Chan entered the Heaven Fate canopy.

“Big Sister Chan!”

Yin Ruobing smiled excitedly to receive Yi Chan. Her smile was genuine and warm. It would make anyone feel comforted. Yin Ruobing was glowing, and she looked to have a sunny aura that surrounded her entire being. Yi Chan took one glance at her and raised her eyebrows. She turned to Jiang Yi, shocked, and said, “You guys…”

Jiang Yi looked confused. Yin Ruobing smiled shyly. “It’s not like what Big Sister Chan is thinking. Ruobing has just figured some things out, that’s all.”

Yin Ruobing blinked several times, confused. She turned to face Yin Ruobing, shock still clear on her face. She sent a voice transmission that expressed her feelings: “Little Sister Ruobing, you’ve really made up your mind?”

Yin Ruobing’s eyes brightened. She sent a firm voice transmission back: “That’s right. We only have one life to live. If I don’t become the master of my own life, will I ever be happy?”

Sigh…

Yi Chan’s expression suddenly darkened. She shook her head and smiled bitterly. She responded, “Ever since I was little, I’ve been training in zen. In the end, even my little sister seems to know more than me. I still can’t let go of what my heart is holding onto. Little Sister, if you can let those things go, I can only wish you the best in life.”

As the two of them sent voice transmissions to each other, they glanced at Jiang Yi every once in a while. Jiang Yi felt even more confused than he did at first, but very quickly, he shifted his attention to something else. HiIs eyes brightened a thousand times as he suddenly shouted, “The restrictions have been loosened. Let’s go, we’re going up the mountain.”

Swish!

The moment he finished speaking, Jiang Yi rushed out of the Heaven Fate canopy and toward the Mystic Divine Mountain. Yin Ruobing and Yi Chan snapped back to reality. They followed him closely. Together, the three of them arrived at the Mystic Divine Mountain. The three of them resembled flashes of lightning as they sprinted up the road to heaven.
