The Whole World Wants Me To Get Divorced chapter 56
Vigorous Character
The next day, Wen Yan woke up, and Rong Xiao was indeed still there.
He blinked and opened his eyes, only to see Rong Xiao sitting on the sofa by the window, reading a book. Outside the window, the mountain scenery was like a dream, and Rong Xiao, with his clear and handsome appearance, looked almost as beautiful as a painting in the bright and warm daylight.
Wen Yan instantly woke up. Biting his lip, he thought almost sorrowfully that he was guarding such a handsome partner, yet he hadn’t been able to taste him completely, which was truly a waste.
Rong Xiao heard the slight movement and glanced over at Wen Yan, greeting him with a “good morning.”
Wen Yan lazily got up from the bed.
Although the curtains were open, and there was no one around in the mountains, he didn’t feel the need to be overly reserved. He nonchalantly started changing his clothes right in front of Rong Xiao.
He tossed his pajamas aside, exposing his flawless and fair body to the light. His waist was slender, his hips were perky, not entirely thin but with smooth and beautiful lines. His neck was long, exuding a swan-like elegance.
Rong Xiao’s gaze was momentarily fixed, and he had to take a sip of tea to conceal his reaction.
In front of the mirror, Wen Yan put on his shirt. He felt like he had grown a bit taller recently. He had a late development, and even at seventeen or eighteen, he still had some baby fat, making him the cherished mascot among his classmates. But now, he seemed to have finally entered the youth stage, displaying a refined and dignified charm without being overtly striking.
He whistled at Rong Xiao, asking, “Do you think I look better than before?”
Rong Xiao looked at him somewhat indulgently and said softly, “You have always been good-looking.”
………………………….
After sleeping for a day, Wen Yan didn’t immediately persuade Rong Xiao to return with him.
He said to Rong Xiao, “The environment of Fox Moon Mountain seems nice. Let’s consider it a vacation. Whenever you’re ready to go back, we can go together. If you’re not ready, I’ll stay here with you. I have plenty of time.”
Rong Xiao didn’t rush him either. His mind was in turmoil at the moment, and taking a few days to carefully consider things would be beneficial.
Not long after finishing breakfast, Wen Yan, holding a cup of coffee, looked at the snowy scenery outside and suddenly said to Yu Bu Wen, “What if I were to fight with you? Who do you think would win? How about we have a little spar?”
He rolled up his sleeves as he spoke.
Since learning about his newfound strength yesterday, Wen Yan had become a bit inflated. Now, he even wanted to take on Yu Bu Wen.
Yu Bu Wen almost sprayed out the water he was drinking. He looked at Wen Yan with a complex expression, then glanced at Rong Xiao, unsure how to respond.
Since gaining fame in the battle a hundred years ago, few dared to provoke him in the demon realm. Over the years, his combat power was only second to Rong Xiao and two other big shots.
He wasn’t afraid to spar with Wen Yan, but Wen Yan was…
He was his boss’s fiance.
If there were any accidents, he reckoned his salary would be deducted for the next century.
Rong Xiao’s gaze swept between Wen Yan and Yu Bu Wen, then looked at Wen Yan’s eager little face. In the end, his heart leaned towards pleasing Wen Yan in these small matters.
Casually blowing on his tea, he instructed Yu Bu Wen, “Just practice with him. Don’t hurt him.”
Yu Bu Wen felt exasperated. Not hurting him? How could he completely control his strength? What if he accidentally caused some bruises?
But before he could explain this to Rong Xiao, he was already being dragged away by Wen Yan.
Wen Yan didn’t demonstrate in the villa area but dragged Yu Bu Wen into a spacious forest where the tree shadows obscured their figures.
He also casually set up a barrier to prevent damage to the plants.
Then, he waved at Yu Bu Wen, saying, “Come on. If you lose, you have to promise me one thing.”
Yu Bu Wen became vigilant in his heart. Although he thought Wen Yan might not beat him, he didn’t dare to underestimate Wen Yan, especially after witnessing him shattering Rong Xiao’s barrier yesterday.
Not stating the conditions explicitly, Yu Bu Wen said, “You have to win first before we talk about the terms.”
Wen Yan thought it was acceptable. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, without any fancy preludes. They immediately started fighting.
Yu Bu Wen guessed right; Wen Yan was still a bit inexperienced. He seemed like a child who suddenly obtained a powerful weapon. Although his destructive power was astonishing, he hadn’t fully mastered it yet.
However, what he didn’t expect was that inexperience didn’t mean incompetence.
Even more surprising was that Wen Yan completely overwhelmed him. In the face of absolute strength, combat experience might not play a crucial role.
Wen Yan watched Yu Bu Wen attack him with a wooden sword, his gaze unwavering. Yu Bu Wen’s movements seemed fast, but in his eyes, they appeared to be in slow motion.
With a flick of his hand, Wen Yan condensed a sword made of spiritual energy. It flowed like water, and the sword, translucent and light blue, resembled a child’s toy.
Yet, with this seemingly fragile sword, Wen Yan effortlessly cut through Yu Bu Wen’s wooden sword, which was infused with demonic power. Then, with a sidestep, he kicked Yu Bu Wen squarely on the right shoulder, sending him flying more than ten meters away.
When Yu Bu Wen fell to the ground, he was more bewildered than when he heard Qi Kong was tied up yesterday.
As the one taking care of Wen Yan up close, he knew Wen Yan’s level well. He could swear that before adulthood, Wen Yan absolutely didn’t have this level of strength.
Although he doubted that Wen Yan might be stronger than him, he thought it would be at most a close victory.
But in just a moment of sparring, he could feel the immense power emanating from Wen Yan, fierce like a released tiger yet gentle like a mountain spring, seemingly mild but harboring hidden danger.
Struggling to stand up, Yu Bu Wen looked at Wen Yan ahead.
Wen Yan was still standing there. He did grow a bit taller, and in this vast forest, he exuded a gentlemanly charm like jade.
He still had that lovely and charming face that could easily stir one’s emotions, but without the lively appearance of the past. Holding a long sword, his eyes were indifferent, somewhat resembling the immortal lords that had been famous for thousands of years.
A sword that ruled the world, a sword that determined life and death.
Yu Bu Wen couldn’t help but furrow his brows. His mind raced, thinking, could Wen Yan be the reincarnation of some powerful being? But could strength be inherited through reincarnation?
Before he could finish his thoughts, Wen Yan hopped over like a rabbit, losing any trace of a high and mighty demeanor. He grabbed Yu Bu Wen, looking left and right, and as soon as he spoke, all the elegance disappeared from his manner.
“Damn, are you okay? I didn’t mean it, really,” Wen Yan sincerely apologized, “I thought you would resist more. Aren’t you the God of Slaughter? Why are you… so… so fragile? How about I go back and make you a soup to replenish your energy?”
Yu Bu Wen rubbed his temples with a headache, and his doubts dissipated a bit. In the past, those cultivators carried themselves as if they were gods, acting all ethereal and drinking dew, but Wen Yan, in comparison, was lively and talkative.
Still, he raised his head and asked Wen Yan, “How do you know how to use a sword? The school didn’t teach you that, did it?”
Wen Yan didn’t know either.
Up until now, he was still confused.
“When you were about to attack me just now, my hand seemed to move on its own,” Wen Yan’s face was full of sincere confusion, “I could predict your movements, so it was easy to win.”
Very easy, he won.
Yu Bu Wen silently covered his chest, feeling like his heart had been stabbed again.
Wen Yan made sure Yu Bu Wen was okay and then felt relieved.
He asked Yu Bu Wen with even more pride, “What do you think? I even defeated you. Shouldn’t the next challenge be Rong Xiao?”
Even though Rong Xiao was currently unwell, it seemed unfair to take advantage of the situation.
Surprisingly, Yu Bu Wen didn’t dare to decisively bet on Rong Xiao winning this time.
This was almost unimaginable in the past.
In the demon realm, the strong were always respected. Rong Xiao’s prestige in the demon realm, his establishment of the Demon Control Bureau, and his powerful combat ability were all interconnected. He was a rare talent nurtured in the entire Kunlun Secret Realm, equivalent to a demigod—a figure that ordinary monsters naturally looked up to.
But now, seeing Wen Yan…
Yu Bu Wen really didn’t dare to guarantee that Rong Xiao could emerge unscathed.
To avoid Wen Yan really fighting with Rong Xiao, Yu Bu Wen timely changed the topic, “You said if you won, I have to promise you something. What is it?”
Wen Yan grinned, then good-naturedly encircled Yu Bu Wen’s neck, though he had to stand on tiptoes because he was shorter than Yu Bu Wen.
He asked Yu Bu Wen, “Are we friends? Do you trust me? As Rong Xiao’s fiancé, am I half of your boss?”
A three-question interrogation.
By this point, Yu Bu Wen already had a vague guess.
“What are you up to? Just say it.”
Wen Yan smiled again, very friendly, and clearly articulated, “It’s nothing much. I just want you to give Rong Xiao some medicine.”
Yu Bu Wen choked, looking at Wen Yan in horror.
Medicine? What kind of medicine?
A tonic or poison?
Yu Bu Wen’s handsome face turned red, full of confusion as he looked at Wen Yan.
He thought Wen Yan might ask for help convincing Rong Xiao to seek treatment, but how did it turn into something illegal and unruly?
Even though our demon realm has a vigorous character, it doesn’t mean we tolerate actions like yours!
Wen Yan, on the other hand, didn’t think his words were shocking at all. He remained calm and composed, thinking, I’m already being quite lenient. If, as I said yesterday, I really take advantage of Rong Xiao’s illness and tie him up, what could anyone do to me?
They can’t beat me anyway.
Thinking this, a more amiable smile appeared on his face.
