"DUMB XIKA! GET UP FUCKING FAST!"

That was the first thing Xika heard. That damn Huo Bing why is it so noisy all of a sudden? It's usually noisy too but this time it's very annoying.

"Xika, this is no time to mess around. Get up quickly."

He's? His tone changed? Alright. Let's take a look first.

Xika tried to open her eyes but how surprised she was when Xingli's face was only a few cent away from her face. At once Xika held her breath, afraid to wake the girl. More precisely afraid that if the girl realized and saw Xika in her bed, she could be satay.

And Xika started to think about what she had done before. Why could he do such a stupid thing like sleeping on Xingli's bed with Xingli?

Then all those memories flowed back. Xingli who was hugging her suddenly, then cried for no reason on her shoulder, and finally fell asleep in her arms without letting go of Xika. Wait, then this isn't all Xika's fault isn't it? After all Xingli was the one who embraced her first.

And the girl didn't let go of him at all last night. It's worth the neck pain.

"Pst.....Huo Bing, a little help?"

"You better wake him up too. There's something more important to watch out for."

Xika clucked in annoyance as Huo Bing refused to help her. But he rarely spoke seriously like this. And every time he spoke like that, something must have happened. With a heavy heart, Xika tried to wake Xingli up slowly, hoping that the girl would not chop him up.

"He-hey Xingli.......Can you let me go...?"

Other people might misunderstand hearing him talk like that, but almost his entire body aches at the moment.

"Hmm......?"

Xingli opened his eyes slowly and the first thing he saw was Xika's face a few meters away from him. Go ahead a little and they'll officially kiss. Just like Xika, what happened last night twisted back in Xingli's head.

'What-what did I do....? Why am I hugging him? Stupid jerk. And why is he still here?'

The girl looked at her hand and realized that it was her who was hugging Xika. And his face was flushed without being prevented.

'Is it because I wish he hadn't left me, so I held him so hard that he couldn't leave? What have I done?'

"Anu...Xingli's? Looks like you're awake, can you let me go first? My neck seems to be breaking in a minute."

Xika's words awakened Xingli from her thoughts. The girl immediately kicked Xika out of her bed and covered her blushing face.

"Aw!"

Even if it hurts, but Xingli's red face is something Xika will always remember at any time. Very rarely does the girl show it.

"I think it's enough for you to make out. We better take care of something else first." said Huo Bing still with a serious face. That's not her usual. The usual Huo Bing would definitely mock them all-out.

"alright. What's up?" Xika corrected her sitting position and looked at Huo Bing with a serious face, even though Xingli's red face was still clearly reflected in her head.

Huo Bing did not reply. He stared at Xika for a while, then looked at Xingli.

"It looks like you guys have brought trouble for yourselves."

"What's? What problems? Talk clearly, dong!"

"Xika, do you think Miss Xingli is popular?"

"Yes, of course. The Five Most Beautiful Girls or whatever it is. After all the fans are enough to make me challenge the Big Hundred."

Xingli did not understand what they were talking about, moreover why Huo Bing and Heiliao were here watching him sleep with Xika, but he was silent.

"Then what do you think if a man enters the room of the popular girl and doesn't come out all night?" Heiliao.

Xika opened her mouth but did not say anything. His expression showed he understood. He knew this was going to happen because that's why he tried to get out last night. But Xingli held him back. Well, after all because of that he could see Xingli's red face that was rarely shown.

"We can go back to my room using the space element. After that act like nothing happened. Even if they can't shut them up, but the silence can make them a little confused." Xika.

Huo Bing and Heiliao nodded in agreement. That's the only way anyway.

"No." But Xingli refused, which of course made everyone shocked.

'Is the talk time happening again?' thought Xika.

"Even if you do that, rumors will spread. In fact, by now this rumor should have been known to the entire academy."

Xika did not expect Xingli to speak.

"Then what are we going to do?"

"No need to do anything. Get out of my room as usual."

"I don't care." Xingli looked firm at once cold. But behind that his eyes looked at Xika, asking for her approval. Is he afraid Xika objected to being rumored with him?

It was precisely Xika who was actually afraid that the girl objected to being rumored with him. But if the girl doesn't mind, then of course she won't mind.

"Heh. Alright. Then we don't have to do anything." Xika smiled.

Huo Bing also smiled. Same with Heiliao. They know they will get into trouble, but they keep smiling.

"Let's get out." Huo Bing stood up and was about to open the door but Xingli stopped her.

"No. The only ones who will come out of my room are me and Xika. You guys go back to your room the same way."

Usually if a quiet person starts talking to you a lot, it means your relationship or at least the quiet person already feels close to you. But even though Xingli had already spoken, Huo Bing did not feel any closeness to the girl. He still felt that Xingli was the same cold girl, except in the presence of Xika.

"..........."

And Huo Bing did not know what to do at all. Heiliao snorted in annoyance and opened the black hole. He left without talking. Huo Bing scratched his head in confusion before finally entering Heiliao's black hole as well.

Now Xika and Xingli were both in their rooms. I don't know why the atmosphere feels awkward. Xika was trying to break the awkwardness. After all, this matter was caused by her not coming out of Xingli's room right? At least he should apologize.

"Ah, hey..about last night, I-"

Xingli walked away just like that. Not replying to Xika at all. And it makes the atmosphere more awkward than before. But Xingli stood still at the door.

Xika guessed the reason the girl did not open the door for a while, then when she saw her upset gaze, only then did Xika realize that the girl was waiting for her.

Quickly Xika caught up with Xingli. And they came out at the same time. Xika still couldn't see Xingli's expression, but she was sure that no matter what, they would finish together.

Cklek!

In front of them all the residents of the Jade Village were already waiting. Some carried weapons and put on bad faces.

Yesterday, when word that Goddess Xingli moved to the Jade Village, all the residents cheered happily. At least they could see Goddess Xingli every day. Even they were willing to wake up early to see the face of Goddess Xingli for a while.

But at night, they somehow discover that they are sleeping in the park. Then there was a noisy sound that woke them up and some of them saw Xika, the much talked about new disciple brought Goddess Xingli into his room and had not come out at all until this morning.

Now, in front of them Xika and Xingli came out together. This confirmed their earlier allegations. Almost everyone is feeling hurt. Even if not all of them were Xingli fans, but imagining a girl as beautiful and graceful as Xingli spending the night with Xika was overwhelming......

For a moment, Xika and Xingli looked at each other with the residents of the Jade Village. Then one of them spoke.

"Basic fucking bastard! How dare you desecrate Goddess Xingli!"

And the man raised a fist of fire which was then followed by various other attacks.

"Come here! Challenging you! I won't let the man who desecrated Goddess Xingli just walk away."

Insults and attacks come in a row and at almost the same time.

Xika was about to face this all by herself, but seeing Xingli's face, Xika knew she couldn't ask the girl to wait behind.

Together, the two fought against the entire occupants of Jade Village. Xingli with his sword, and Xika with his cane. It wasn't an easy fight.

The occupants of the Jade Village could not be said to be the most powerful Inner Disciple, but they could not be called the weakest either. Average their cultivation at the level of Forming Qi 5-7. If it was only a two people, Xika could face them easily.

But dozens? Not an amount that can be underestimated. Fortunately there was Xingli fighting by his side. Fighting the Jade Village residents who numbered in the tens and won seemed like an impossible thing, but Xika was confident he and Xingli could resolve this.

Every time Xika defeated one person, at least three to four others came and attacked him simultaneously. Some attacks he can not avoid, and he does not use his cards for defense because he does not want the function of his cards to be found out all.

Xingli's condition was at least better. Out of the entire population, roughly only a quarter of them had attacked Xingli, while the rest were aimed at Xika. Most of the residents blamed Xika, but there were also some who were angry towards Xingli for acting so lowly.

Of course Xingli was not picky. He beat up everything near him. Several times he saved Xika, several times he saved Xika. It's not important anymore. What matters is that they fight together.

In front of Xika's room, Huo Bing and Heiliao stood leisurely watching the course of the fight. Heiliao only managed to hold on for three seconds, before his foot stepped forward about to help Xika.

The set!

But Huo Bing stopped him.

"Calm down. If you keep helping him every time he gets into trouble, when will he grow?"

Heiliao did not reply but he kept trying to advance.

"I told you, relax. The kid can handle it. He has a great partner, after all. Don't you see how they work together? Don't you trust him? Or do not....you do not believe in his partner?"

"......"
