Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 185 - Cousin Behavior

Despite her shameless manner, Shen Qi tried to restrain her emotions from getting out of control from hearing Bing Xinhai's words to her. He tried to maintain his stiff-looking smile.

"I don't understand what you mean, Brother Bing."

"Aish..."

Bing Xinhai let out a sigh and let out a long sigh, feeling Shen Qi was not only shameless, but also had a short brain axis from not being able to digest her simple words. And at the same time he ignored the deathly glare of a pair of beautiful blue eyes that implied a warning for silence from his beautiful cousin.

"Alright, I'll just go right ahead, Brother Shen. You need to know, if you were to tease Miss Huang, then you would cause trouble for you for inviting Senior Pillar of Light's anger. But if you tease my beautiful cousin, not just you but the Sacred Sword Sect as a whole will get into big trouble."

Shen Qi frowned deeply, a reaction more or less the same shown by the other young minds.

"What do you mean, Brother Bing? Do you mean to threaten us?" Shen Qi was referring to himself as well as the Sacred Sword Sect.

"Threatening? No, rather I warned you..."

Bing Xueyu immediately understood the intent behind Bing Xinhai's words, but it was too late to stop Bing Xinhai from continuing.

"If you continue to tease my beautiful cousin, then someone who is a potential fiancee will be furious."

Two of the few words Bing Xinhai said just now made everyone shocked. Perhaps only Shenghao and Honghao had their reactions slightly calmer.

The matchmaking between the younger generation in the world of cultivators was not new so the two were not too surprised. But the two were curious about this figure called Bing Xueyu's prospective fiancee.

"C-prospective fiancee? Did I hear wrong?" Shen Qi was extremely shocked and seemed to be in disbelief at his hearing.

"You didn't hear wrong, Brother Shen. The Ice Fairy who is none other than my beautiful cousin already has a potential fiancee. Yeah, even though my cousin's engagement is still in the very raw stages of the plan."

Huang Mingzhu congratulated Bing Xueyu after calming down from her shock. His words were sincere from the heart, but was responded to the awkward smile of Bing Xueyu who was at a loss for words because of her cousin's actions.

The girl then asked about the figure of the would-be fiancee Bing Xueyu who was answered by Bing Xinhai.

"You must have heard a thing or two about him. He came from the greatest background in the world of cultivators of the Blue Moon Continent. His name has only been famous these past few months." Bing Xinhai answered by giving a riddle.

"The world's greatest cultivator background?" Ji Wentian stroked his chin. "If there was a greater background above a ten-star sect, it would have been the Hero of the Four Corners. There is currently one person left. She's..." Ji Wentian did not continue his words, afraid to mention a name.

Bing Xinhai laughed softly at Ji Wentian who was trying to second-guess.

"You're right, Sister Ji. My beautiful cousin's fiancee would be Brother Yao or Yao Han. You guys are strangers to this name, but he is a Senior disciple of the East Wind who is also known as the Blue Lotus Physician."

The atmosphere was suddenly silent and almost everyone felt their bodies shiver when the name 'Eastern Wind' was called. Yet it was only a short while before it was broken by a mutter with a trembling tone of disbelief.

"N-Miss Bing, k-kau... East Wind?"

Everyone was more surprised than before. Being shocked to hear the news Bing Xueyu had a potential fiancee was one thing, but being surprised after knowing the figure of the would-be fiancee Bing Xueyu was another.

Other than Bing Xueyu and Bing Xinhai, the others put on shocked faces that could not be covered up. Shui Hua and Shui Rong already knew about this information, but they were shocked because Bing Xinhai who did not keep his words even though he had been given a warning so that this news was not widespread.

Now the one who had to endure his emotions changed from Shen Qi to Bing Xueyu. The beautiful girl clenched her hands tightly and tried to keep her face from turning red from feeling angry, annoyed, and embarrassed at the same time.

The Ice Fairy's cousin even lightly told her it was a plan from her uncle, The Ice King after the encounter with the East Wind and his disciple a few months ago before the news of the return of the appearance of the East Wind rang out widely to the entire Blue Moon Continent.

"Although Brother Yao and my cousin have never met in person, it seems like the raw plan will become ripe soon." Bing Xinhai smirked happily, not caring for Bing Xueyu's sharp gaze that wanted to land a hard blow.

The most violent reaction was shown by the representatives of the White Lotus Sect. Shenghao and Honghao choked and coughed loudly for quite a while. Only after being calm enough did Shenghao give a response with an enthusiastic face.

"Sister Bing turned out to be Brother Yao's fiancee? It's very surprising news. If I had known this before, maybe I could have congratulated Brother Yao then after that to you."

All attention now turned to Shenghao.

"Brother Shenghao, you mean... Eh? Why do you sound familiar to Senior East Wind disciple?" Bing Xinhai asked curiously, as well as the others.

"This me and my junior are indeed no strangers to Senior East Wind disciples. Long before this meeting, we had met Brother Yao and wandered together for some time with us who were on a mission from Mahaguru Wu Bai."

"Oh, really?!"

Bing Xinhai exclaimed happily, then stood up and lifted her seat before walking excitedly towards the table reserved for Shenghao and Honghao.

Bing Xueyu covered part of her face with one hand, feeling embarrassed by Bing Xinhai's behavior.

"Sister Bing, your cousin is making trouble for you. Do you need my help to teach him a lesson so he'll be deterred?" Shui Hua asked quietly with a somewhat seductive tone. Behind her mask, Shui Hua smiled widely.

"Aish, no need. I'm enough. I'll make sure he gets a proper reply after coming home from this meeting," Bing Xueyu replied with determination.

Meanwhile, Bing Xinhai sat beside Shenghao who was astonished by her behavior.

"Brother Shenghao, it is reported that Brother Yao is traveling in the Green Forest Country. On the way here, I wish we could meet and exchange a few words with him, but fate says something else. Since you've met and traveled with him, can you tell me a little about my future cousin-in-law?"

"Ehm, that..."

Shenghao suddenly hesitated to tell a story seeing Bing Xinhai's unusual elegance.
