Late Night Tales Of The Capital

Chapter 111 The Snow Stopped
It had been snowing for seven days and seven nights in Mount Mei.

In the early morning of the eighth day, the snow finally stopped and the sun was rising.

Ye Que and Red Bean were standing outside the cave and looking into the distance. All they could see were white. The roads up the mountain and down the mountain were all covered with heavy snow. There was no footprint on the snow.

“I want to go back to Luoyang City, what about you? Go home?” Ye Que asked.

“I’m wandering in the Human World, and I can go anywhere.”

“It’s not the time to return home yet. I have told you that I am going to be the best practitioner of the world.”

“So, I decide to go to Luoyang with you. Since Luoyang claims to be the Divine Capital, there are certainly many opportunities to meet the masters from all over the world. After I completely refine the Dragon Bone in my body, I will start to challenge them.” Red Bean said calmly. The content of the words was very arrogant, but her expression was very indifferent, as if this was a sure thing that she should be like this.

Ye Que didn’t try to persuade Red Bean. Ye Que had seriously considered about this question, that the determination to be the world’s best practitioner was actually worth trying. Every practitioner should have such a spirit, but most people had no confidence in themselves.

This might be Red Bean’s ‘Tao’.

It was just too difficult, nothing more.

However, the more difficult the ‘Tao’, the greater the potential. Cultivators could have a wider space to be promoted. The things between heaven and earth were complementary and somewhat causal.

“Do you need me to hold you, or carry you?” Ye Que looked at the road down the mountain and said. Red Bean’s strength was just restored to the degree of an ordinary people, healthy but no cultivation base.

Looking at the roads down the mountain, they were just covered with a lot of snow, not steep, but on the contrary, relatively flat.

“No, I can go by myself.”

Red Bean tightened clothes after she said. In addition to her original white long coat, she also wore Ye Que’s coat. Although it was no longer snowing, the weather in this mountain was still very cold. Ye Que had the Divine Energy to cover his body, he could keep warm even without many clothes. Red Bean was different, for she didn’t have such a skill.

Smelling the pale vanilla scent at the tip of the nose, Red Bean stepped out and a string of footprints appeared in front of the cave. Since the beginning of the cultivation on the Divine Book, Ye Que’s body would silently reveal a hint of scent no matter where he went and what clothes he wore. The scent was hard to describe. It smelled like grass or flowers. Anyway, it was a good pale smell, and maybe this was exactly the natural scent of the heaven and the earth.

When Red Bean smelled it for the first time, she liked it. So, although she was never willing to contact males, she had no resistance to Ye Que’s clothes, even like it.

Red Bean was jumping.

She looked like an elf in the snow,

who was brilliant, white, innocent, pure and natural.

“I’m going to be the strongest chivalrous lady in the world. Such snow can’t defeat me.” After a few steps from the cave, Red Bean turned back. She pointed out her fingers domineeringly at Ye Que and said loudly.

But as soon as she finished, maybe this time she had overused her strength when she turned, or maybe the snow ground was too slippery, the little girl slipped and fell directly on the ground. More importantly, the first landing was on her cheek.

“Bang!”

After a soft bang, Red Bean’s face had been covered with snowflakes except for the eyes and mouth when she raised her head.

Even Ye Que was calm in his face, he froze for a moment after he saw the accident, and then a smile appeared on his face.

He took a few heavy steps to Red Bean and reached his hand out. “You don’t even have a stable step, how could you become the best cultivator in the world.”

“It’s not my problem; the snow ground is too slippery.”

Red Bean reached out to Ye Que’s hand. But when her hand was about to grab his hand, Ye Que shrank his hand back directly, and then went forward without turning back.

And then, he pretended to be profound and said, “If you want to be the best cultivator in the world, you can’t trust others easily, especially when you get into troubles, because kicking you when you are down is the cheapest way to eliminate you.”

“So what are you doing?” Red Bean said angrily. She wiped the snow on her face, but the more she wiped, the more snow she could touch. Finally, her cheeks were totally cold.

“I am teaching you. According to the custom, you should call me ‘master’,” Ye Que said shamelessly.

“Do you want to be killed?”

“I have a master.”

“I am angry!”

Red Bean, who was lying on the ground, finally realized that this was clear that Ye Que was making fun of her. She stood up and directly began to chase after Ye Que even forget wiping away the snow on her clothes.

Without cultivation base, only with a body of an ordinary people, she could not even walk stably, let alone run and catch up with Ye Que.

It was simply impossible.

After a while, Red Bean fell to the ground again.

Then she climbed up, walked, and then fell; climbed up again, and then fell again.

Before she could reach the foot of Mount Mei, Red Bean had fallen down so many times that she could barely walk anymore. The little girl, who killed people with no mercy, now seemed to have tears in her eye. Her cheeks were totally red, her nose had already slightly swollen, and there was a swelling on her forehead. Her long hair was scattered, the hairs on temples were full of snowflakes, and she even had a runny nose now.

Perhaps she felt strange in her nose, Red Bean sniffed deeply. And then she took Ye Que’s sleeve and scraped under her nose with it. After that, it seemed that it was not enough to erase her anger, so she blew her nose with his sleeve.

After blowing her nose, she raised her head and looked at Ye Que provocatively.

It seemed that she was saying, “I have a lot of methods to deal with you. Don’t think that you can make fun of me now. When I regain my cultivation base, I must pay you back. Everything must be paid back to you.”

Looking at the thick traces on his sleeve, Ye Que was speechless for a while. How big was the girl? Was she playing games with child?

But after he saw Red Bean’s bad state, Ye Que sighed, and then walked back to Red Bean silently.

Firstly, he put her hair on temples behind her ears. Then he wiped the snow on her cheeks. After that, he grabbed her long hair in hands, and tied a ponytail with a strange shape. Finally, the entire snow on her body was cleaned, and she was carefully sorted out by him.

“Who asked you to come back?”

“Why don’t you go ahead?”

“I can go by myself, and I don’t need your help!”

“Who cares!”

“In your stories, men are bastards. I thought you were joking. Now I really believe this!”

“I fell down because I am cultivating. You don’t understand me. I’m going to be the best cultivator in the world. Do you think I truly tumbled? I was just exercising my body!”

Red Bean said continually, but she did not stop Ye Que’s action on her face, nor did she prevent him from tying her hair. After Ye Que wiped up all the snow on her body, the angry expression on her face just now was now disappeared. Perhaps she had not even realized that.

Red Bean’s complaints continued. Suddenly her whole body was slanted. When she realized what had happened, she was already carried on his back.

“Leave me alone!”

“I can go by myself!”

“Are you looking down on me?”

“I am…”

Ye Que, who had been silent all the time, suddenly interrupted her and said, “I know, you are going to be the world’s number one practitioner.”

“So, can you let me flatter you first? Then, when I wander in the world, I can brag to others that I have once carried the No.1, who dares not to admire me? I have backers!”
