CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 351: THE SQUEAKY WHEEL GETS THE GREASE

"Such a grown person and still crying, aren’t you ashamed, meow!" Uncle Orange, with almost zero EQ, couldn’t read the atmosphere at all. Seeing the flat-chested wood-chopping girl who was just so arrogant, now actually crying, he immediately squatted to one side, shaking his tail and started his teasing mode.

This picture of petty arrogance made Liu Rouxin, who was already hit by a series of events, grinding her teeth with antipathy. Even in Pang Qingshi’s arms, she couldn’t help wanting to pick out this damned thing and bite it to death.

But at this moment, Liu Rouxin really didn’t have the strength, and could only enjoy the ’facial cleanser’ from her good sister Pang Qingshi to ease her resentment.

"You... eh eh??"

Uncle Orange planned to say something else, but the next second, he was sent flying into the sky by Liang Yi, who appeared behind him, and disappeared without a trace.

"Heh, why are you two coming over here? Want to mock me?" Hearing Uncle Orange’s tragic cry, Liu Rouxin, curious, lifted her head from her good sister’s chest, only to see Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

"I wanted to come and apologize; I was a bit too fierce just now..." Su Youyi, looking at Liu Rouxin whose eyes were already red from crying, said somewhat sheepishly.

"Hm?" Pang Qingshi lifted her head after hearing this and suddenly looked towards Su Youyi, not expecting her to do this. Could it be at Liang Yi’s suggestion?

Liang Yi, standing behind Su Youyi, helplessly spread his hands, indicating it wasn’t his idea.

"Apologize?" Liu Rouxin was stunned for a moment, as if she didn’t quite understand. She could scarcely remember the last time she heard an apology. Is this person really being nice or planning to mock her?

But when she looked up into Su Youyi’s eyes, she understood that Su Youyi was indeed sincerely apologizing.

It is said that no one can truly empathize with others, even her bosom friend Pang Qingshi doesn’t quite understand why she suddenly experienced such a huge emotional fluctuation this time.

A normal cultivator is usually as mentally resilient as iron, countless hardships unable to shake their will.

Perhaps it’s because of her eternally youthful body, Liu Rouxin herself has noticed her sometimes child-like nature.

She is actually about the same age as Pang Qingshi, but occasionally her behavior still resembles that of a child. However, she doesn’t care in the slightest, because the wilfulness of children and the style of the Blood Control Sect are somewhat similar in a certain sense.

But it is somewhat embarrassing to have an immature heart at times like this. It’s also fortunate that she currently has the appearance of a young girl, crying without any sense of incompatibility.

Liu Rouxin could see that the Su Youyi before her, just like Pang Qingshi, couldn’t truly understand her heart, but this did not prevent Su Youyi from feeling the grievances in her heart.

The specifics may be hard to understand, but purely from an emotional standpoint, people can indeed empathize with each other.

"No... no need for your feigned sympathy," said Liu Rouxin with her haughty face turned aside, not looking straight at Su Youyi.

This Liang Yi, really, just fought with her to the death, and now he is actually comforting the opponent with his junior sister, shouldn’t this be termed as ’birds of a feather flock together’?

Only two people with such abnormal thinking could be attracted to each other, right?

"I just now failed to hold back, causing damage to the Origin of Liu Daoist Friend’s Illusion Realm. I will definitely compensate for your losses," Liang Yi said to Liu Rouxin from behind Su Youyi. "Also, I would like to thank Liu Daoist Friend for showing mercy to me by not harming me after I fell into the Illusion Realm."

Liang Yi was genuinely heartfelt with this sentence.

Just after he fell into the Blood Sea Illusion Realm, Liu Rouxin did indeed show restraint; otherwise, it would not have been so easy for Liang Yi to break free from an illusion capable of trapping a Seventh Realm Cultivator.

Despite this being partly due to the natural suppression of the Creation Green Lotus, the fact that Liu Rouxin had opened the floodgates, so to speak, was undeniable.

"Actually, Rouxin is quite kind-hearted," Pang Qingshi commented with a smile. Although Liu Rouxin’s actions were domineering and tyrannical, this did not conflict with having a kind heart.

He was not familiar with the others in the Blood Control Sect, but at least Liu Rouxin was like this, and that was the reason they could become good friends.

The Senluo Wanxiang Sect might not be a standard example of the Righteous Path, but it was still miles apart from the Demon Path. Therefore, as the Chief of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect, she definitely would not be friends with a cruel and bloodthirsty demon.

Hearing what Pang Qingshi said and looking at the two people in front of her, Liu Rouxin blushed and jumped out of Pang Qingshi’s embrace.

Her emotions came and went quickly; now, she had readjusted her mentality and once again took on the demeanor befitting of a Sixth Realm Cultivator.

"Don’t think that I will forgive you just because you casually apologize..." Liu Rouxin crossed her arms and stared at Su Youyi with a stubborn gaze.

"The apology is sincere, but if you insist on attacking my senior brother, I will accompany you to the end!" Su Youyi said with a bright smile.

Feeling embarrassed and guilty was reflective of her kind heart, but Su Youyi was not someone who would just let things slide; as long as it didn’t involve her senior brother, nothing else mattered to her.

"When I recover from my injuries, I must beat your senior brother until he’s searching for his teeth on the ground!" Liu Rouxin, who was never timid or scared, glared back without any sign of weakness.

"That’s the Liu Rouxin I know!" Pang Qingshi stood by the side, lightly laughing as he watched the two prodigious talents of the era—who were both young in different ways—acting like children, quarreling with each other.

Liang Yi silently chuckled, not hoping for a good relationship with Liu Rouxin, but simply wishing not to be seen as an enemy would be fine.

In this way, once Liu Rouxin’s injuries were healed and she visited the Blood Control Sect again, perhaps forming an alliance would go more smoothly.

"Thud!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

A muffled sound followed by the confused voice of the senior brother caught Su Youyi’s attention, along with Liu Rouxin, they both turned to look, only to see Liang Yi being pounded on by Bai E, who was a head shorter than him.

Her fists, fair as jade, appeared ordinary without a hint of Spiritual Power fluctuation, but Liang Yi was clearly in agony.

"For hitting so hard, Rouxin’s nearly healed injuries have worsened," Bai E frowned as she rebuked, continuing to strike.

"..." Liang Yi was full of helplessness at this moment—was this what they called "the squeaky wheel gets the grease"? He was the actual victim, having been troubled by the unreasonable Liu Rouxin, which led to his defensive retaliation.

However, as the only male present if you discount the Lord Orange Cat, Liang Yi thought it best to keep a low profile.

"Senior Bai, I’m really okay," said Liu Rouxin, who now felt somewhat sorry and hesitantly spoke up to stop her.

Bai E simply tapped him lightly a couple of times to vent for Liu Rouxin and stopped the beating upon hearing Liu Rouxin’s words, even reaching out to pat Liang Yi’s head casually.

And, on closer inspection, she found the youngster quite captivating.
