### Chapter 28: That’s Right, I’m All About That Bod
“Xue’er, what can I say? You missed such a good opportunity…”
“I just wasn’t fully prepared mentally…”
“How was I supposed to know that guy would just greet us and then poof, disappear?”
“Didn’t I tell you that Brother Yun is busy? You need to seize the moment or you won’t know when you can chat with him again!”
Lin Zhongyu transformed into a worried young mother, shaking her head in exasperation at Mu Jixue’s antics.
“Even I have to wait for the right time to chat with Brother Yun. You need to be a bit more proactive!”
In Lin Zhongyu’s mind, Yun Zhonghe seemed like some world-saving superhero — always rushing off after his short, snappy conversations. It was so difficult to even approach him!
But on some level, she admired Yun Zhonghe for this; it showed he was a man with a mission, someone who could accomplish great things.
Mu Jixue pouted. She had never actively sought to curry favor with a man before. That annoying Yellow-haired brat had stolen her first chance!
Nevertheless, to keep Little Yu from getting mad, Mu Jixue decided to put aside her grievances…
…
“Young Master, are you really just going to ignore those two girls following us?” Tao Jiu’er prompted Yun Zhonghe, who turned slightly to glance at the sisters trailing behind him. It all felt a bit baffling.
Shouldn’t they have made up by now? Why were they still tailing me? Are they planning some sort of revenge?
Before figuring out their intentions, Yun Zhonghe knew he had to tread carefully. After all, sensitive Huang Aotian might explode at the slightest poke!
His rationality disappeared like a bad haircut.
At times like this, Yun Zhonghe needed to maintain his cool; no need to get too close nor intentionally distant—it would just seem too obvious.
So, he greeted the two girls near the door and then headed off to the Immortal Alliance branch.
But of course, those two beauties decided to follow suit.
Now that they had noticed him, ignoring them felt kind of rude, right?
Just as Yun Zhonghe was debating whether he should talk to Huang Aotian, he suddenly sensed an unusual gaze from behind.
As if aware he was onto them, the stalker vanished!
Yun Zhonghe: “…”
Having a top-notch Golden Spiritual Root, he was naturally attuned to vibes like murderous intentions and animosity. Even Huang Aotian, a woman from his realm, couldn’t match his ability to sense hostility. Not to mention they had the same cultivation level.
“That feeling… Is it directed at me?”
Yun Zhonghe wondered, yet it seemed more focused on Mu Jixue and Lin Zhongyu.
It wasn’t clear who exactly was the target, though.
As Yun Zhonghe fell into deep thought, Lin Zhongyu sensed an opportunity.
“Xue’er, this is a great chance! You should hurry and apologize to Brother Yun!”
“I-I understand!”
The white-haired loli’s body stiffened like a statue. Every pore was wide awake, and her every move resembled a puppet, dragging her feet slowly towards Yun Zhonghe.
But Yun Zhonghe was still daydreaming, and at a height of 1.8 meters, he entirely missed the petite 1.4-meter loli.
Seeing that she hadn’t caught his attention, Mu Jixue bit her lip, took a deep breath, pushed back her strands of hair covering half her face, and revealed a slightly shy visage. She slowly yet firmly extended her hand and gently tugged at the hem of Yun Zhonghe’s shirt.
“Hmm?”
Yun Zhonghe finally snapped back to reality and looked down.
The adorable little girl was so close, her striking silver hair practically hypnotic. One could catch a whiff of the faint scent of milk wafting from her.
“Uh, Mu Girl, is there something you need?”
Yun Zhonghe stared at her, somewhat confused.
Mu Jixue’s lips trembled as she stammered, “Um, I apologize for any offense yesterday. I… I said a lot of disrespectful things. Please forgive me, Young Master Yun.”
After mustering up the courage to say this, her face flushed bright red—like a perfectly cooked shrimp.
This wasn’t her first time apologizing, but doing it in such a nervous state was new.
Finally getting the words out felt like a relief, and she peeked over at Lin Zhongyu, who offered her an encouraging gesture.
Yun Zhonghe was taken aback. Huang Aotian was apologizing to me?!
What a twist!
He had contemplated Lin Zhongyu speaking well of him to Huang Aotian, but he never imagined it would escalate to this degree. His excitement was through the roof!
This meant Huang Aotian was willing to bend a little.
Just one day after meeting, and they were already getting closer!
Fantastic! What a true leading lady! Nicely done!
Of course, Yun Zhonghe wouldn’t let any of these feelings show on his face.
“Oh, about that, Mu Girl, there’s no need to worry. I’m quite understanding. Plus, you were just acting out of concern for Miss Lin, which I fully understand.”
Yun Zhonghe played the role of the reasonable one, leaving Mu Jixue completely astounded.
Wait, this guy’s character… is way too good to be true!
In comparison, she felt utterly inadequate.
A wave of defeat washed over Mu Jixue.
Is this really the so-called ruthless young master? Or is it just a facade? But if he really is like this, those rumors must be wildly exaggerated.
Pouting, she replied, “For Young Master Yun to be so magnanimous is truly admirable. However, you’ve forgiven me so easily. I still feel guilty, so whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it!”
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhonghe’s eyes widened.
My dear brother, did you really say you’d do anything? Anything at all?
Well, in that case, don’t mind if I’m rude! Hehe!
Yun Zhonghe’s gaze zeroed in on Mu Jixue’s petite frame, and suddenly she felt very exposed.
This guy… definitely has ulterior motives!
Is he deliberately getting close to Little Yu, but really aiming for my body?!
Quickly, Mu Jixue shielded herself, covering her absolutely not-proportional assets.
That’s right! Yun Zhonghe really did have his sights set on Mu Jixue’s developing body. If properly trained…
She’d level up in no time!
Having tasted the thrill of tapping into Huang Aotian’s cultivation, Yun Zhonghe craved more.
As bros, helping each other out is a given, right? Protecting your woman’s interests starts with you!
Don’t worry; it’s just about you having a little more of my stuff to munch on, leveling up faster. It won’t hurt a bit.
Seeing his eager prey approach, Yun Zhonghe couldn’t suppress the grin creeping onto his face.
Clearing his throat, he softly replied, “In that case, if Mu Girl doesn’t mind, would you like to be my friend?”
