Chapter 20: The Flustered Little Fire Chicken
You You initially didn’t understand why Xun Rong kept targeting Yin Fan, trying to provoke him. Later, she realized he likely hadn’t expected Yin Fan’s presence here and was merely stirring trouble.
Along their path, they encountered numerous mechanisms. Even the well-informed Yin Fan couldn’t identify them, yet Xun Rong effortlessly solved each one. He even recognized the complex formation, naming it instantly and dismantling it. For a young master from a prominent family who rarely ventured out and claimed to have lost his way on the official road, his knowledge seemed suspiciously vast.
“Clever girl,” Xun Rong remarked, narrowing his eyes as he scrutinized her. Unfazed by her insight, his smile grew more audacious. “Since you’ve seen through me, I’ll handle things personally.”
He flicked his wrist, releasing a cool Presence. You You instinctively stepped back, but the energy wasn’t aimed at her—it struck the peculiar door instead.
The talismans on the door glowed, writhing like living creatures. The massive Taiji diagram on the floor erupted with blinding light, its black and white halves spinning violently until the entire stone chamber flooded with radiance.
She shut her eyes. A sudden splash echoed, followed by the crisp scent of water. When she looked again, the stone chamber had vanished, replaced by a clear pool. The shallow water shimmered with a refreshing aura that invigorated her senses.
The formation must have teleported them here.
Yin Fan, previously immobilized by the suppression, fell into the water during the transfer. Freed now, he staggered up and lunged toward her. “You You—”
“Yin Fan!” she called back.
A red light flashed beneath their feet. Yin Fan froze mid-step, while You You felt an invisible force pinning her down.
“Patience,” Xun Rong sneered beside him. “Your noble lady serves better purposes than you.”
“Xun Rong!” Yin Fan’s eyes blazed as he glared at the man. “I knew you were vile! What are you plotting? I’ll—”
“Silence.” Xun Rong silenced him with a wave, smirking tauntingly. “What will you do, even if I act?”
Yin Fan’s face flushed crimson with fury.
Pleased, Xun Rong glided toward You You, hovering above the Water Surface without a ripple. He halted beside her on the pool’s central stone platform.
To her right sat a lotus-shaped item emitting golden light—clearly his target. He pocketed it, then turned to her with a dazzling, dangerous smile.
He tilted her chin, voice dripping with false sweetness. “My thanks, noble lady. Without you, I’d never have breached this ancient relic.” His fingers lingered. “We’ll meet again.”
He soared upward, but You You strained against the restraint and snapped free. “Wait!”
She grabbed blindly, yanking downward. A tearing sound followed.
In her hand: light-blue fabric. Above: bare thighs.
You You: “……”（д）b
Xun Rong: “……”（￣△￣；）
Silence.
Then Xun Rong’s face burned scarlet, transforming from cunning seducer to a sputtering Little Fire Chicken.
“Y-you… shameless!”
“It wasn’t on purpose!” You You protested, baffled. “Who knew your pants would come off with one tug? Why didn’t you fasten them properly?”
“You… how dare you! I tied them fine! You yanked too hard – you did this deliberately!”
“I just wanted directions out of here! Why’d you have to walk so fast?”
“You’re clearly after my looks! Shameless! Vile! Pervert!”
“Enough! I don’t even fancy your type!”
“Then why rip my trousers off?!”
“It was an accident! And… put your damn pants on before fighting!”
“You think I enjoy this? Give them back!”
“Come down first and I will!”
“Return them and I’ll descend!”
“……”
When Lin Feng, Liu Qing, and their frantic teammates finally located the teleportation array, they found their protected noble lady clutching trousers while arguing with a bare-butted man.
Lin Feng: “……”
Liu Qing: “……”
Teammates: “……”
Had they interrupted something?
-_—-
“M-Miss You…” Liu Qing finally ventured.
The quarreling pair froze. The enraged Little Fire Chicken swooped down, snatched his trousers, and yanked them on. For good measure, he wrapped his outer robe around his waist with multiple knots, triple-securing his lower half.
“You’ll regret this, You clan wench!” He glared crimson-faced at the trouser-thief, all former allure replaced by humiliation. “Mark my words – I’ll settle this!” He shot skyward with doubled speed.
“Why seek me…” You You called after him, “…planning to strip me back?”
Xun Rong faltered mid-flight, nearly plummeting. “Silence, hussy!”
As his figure faded, she remembered: “Wait! How do we escape?!”
His disembodied voice growled: “Rot here, you brazen harlot! I’ll never mention the right-side tunnel!”
“……” He’d literally just revealed it.
You You’s eye twitched. A second, more flustered shout echoed:
“WESTWARD!”
“……”
Well then.
