I Am Supreme
chapter-607

Not only did the current situation disallow Yun Yang from being optimistic, it was basically a grave scenario. Yun Yang sighed, the cogs in his head turning ponderously. How could he kill two pinnacle experts with his limited force?

"Severely short what?" A clear voice rang.

Yun Yang followed the sound. Ji Lingxi stood before him in white, like a fairy who had just come from the moon; her eyes were sparkling as she looked over at him.

Yun Yang's heart began to beat quickly. Ever since that day, every time he looked at Ji Lingxi, he thought the girl was stunningly beautiful for some reason. Her beauty was bewitching. The medicine he let her apply was still on her face, but she was still alluring, her charm indescribable. It was a grace that came from her very core, as if she was a goddess and there was a magical air surrounding her, lending her an ethereal look...

Even though Yun Yang could restrain himself relatively well, he still felt his control slipping away from him; he was sorely tempted to do something bad. Now that he saw the girl watching him with such an affectionate gaze, he could not help moaning inwardly, 'My life is at stake…'

'Just a touch will take away half of my remaining years, yet, she looks so tempting… Who can resist such temptation?'

"Nothing to do with you."

Yun Yang frowned instinctively. Faced with such irresistible charm when he was troubled, he could not help losing his composure and subconsciously acted like an elder brother, saying, "Why aren't you resting? What are you doing out here again?"

The girl would bewitch him if he did not put up a tough front.

Ji Lingxi rolled her eyes and said, "What am I doing out here again? I'm just here for a chat with you, in between my cultivation sessions. What do you say to that? Am I not allowed to do even this now?"

Yun Yang said earnestly, "Oh, Lingxi, do you know how unusually chaotic the martial world is these days? Anywhere and anytime, there could be traps and ambushes. You can't take cultivation base lightly. You're still young, you haven't experienced the vileness of the martial world. Be good, go back to your practice quickly."

Hearing Yun Yang's intentionally mature tone, Ji Lingxi almost burst out laughing. She sat down comfortably in front of him and said with a smile, "No need to act tough. Tell me what it is. Maybe I have an idea. Two heads are better than one. I can help you brainstorm, it's better than you shutting yourself out and thrashing about blindly."

Ji Lingxi's natural action of sitting down seemed to be laced with an inexplicable ethereality that brimmed from her very soul. Yun Yang's gaze became a stare as he swallowed before saying arduously, "I think… I'm not that young anymore."

"I beg your pardon? What do you mean?" Ji Lingxi's gaze turned into a squint.

Yun Yang coughed and said, "I think I should find a wife… perhaps, I need a woman…"

Yun Yang itched to slap himself repeatedly right as he finished speaking. How could he have just uttered that? Even if he thought so inwardly, he could not just say it out like this! Oh God! Such were the thoughts that ran through Yun Yang's mind.

These days, Yun Yang did not know what was going on, but he felt his attraction to Ji Lingxi grow and it was getting harder to resist. His previously calm and composed self was entirely gone! Each time he saw her, his heart palpitated and he felt his soul leaving him; he would fall into a dreamy state and it was hard to forget the blasted woman.

He wanted to touch her, to hug her, to kiss her, then… do something… but! – but! He could not! He could never do that!

Once he thought about the price he had to pay for hugging her, to be flung so far and have his internal organs flipped around, bleeding through all seven orifices, with severe injuries and everything else, Yun Yang restrained his eagerness.

In spite of this, Yun Yang had unavoidably realized that his heart was consumed by an earthy desire now. He was no longer as spiritual as he once thought he was.

For a few consecutive nights, there was the occasional... phenomenon that took place. One morning, he had even realized with stupor that there was a large patch of stickiness on his bed…

Due to the circumstances mentioned, Yun Yang realized clearly that he had grown up; he should now find a woman. His seemingly inadvertent blabbering earlier was a manifestation of his true thoughts. He had buried them in his heart and never spoke of them; after all, such things were not topics that were easily discussed.

He did not expect that the attraction he felt today when Ji Lingxi came over was much stronger than it had ever been before; something, somewhere, within him had gone amok and his lips parted before he could stop himself from shooting his mouth.

Ji Lingxi grinned and said, "I would never have expected Young Master Yun to actually think about getting married and forming a family. How rare this is! Do you have someone you like then?"

She was smiling without a hint of nervousness; however, her teeth were ground tightly and a chilling glint flashed in her gaze.

'I've just confessed to you a few days ago. Not only did you not respond to it, are you actually looking for a woman now?'

'What do you want to do and who are you looking for!'

Yun Yang coughed. "Right now… I don't think… I do?"

'No?'

'Are you actually saying that there isn't anyone?'

The answer was more detestable than she could have imagined.

'Do you not see a breathing beauty right before you?'

Ji Lingxi's smile was increasingly tender but the chilling glint deep in her eyes was almost depthless. She spoke through gritted teeth, "Does Young Master Yun have any particular requirements regarding your woman? We're on the same side, you can tell me; maybe I can figure something out for you."

She spoke tenderly, "You should know that I have plenty of girlfriends. Each of them comes from a noble family. Be it looks, physique, family background, elegance, grace, or even apt in both literature and martial arts, or gifted in both talent and looks, you name it, you can have it…"

Yun Yang was completely befuddled by Ji Lingxi's suggestion. He was confused about his current self as well. He was still considering the task of subduing the two men earlier; he was still lamenting about being shorthanded and having a limited force. How could the topic take such an opposite turn to somewhere thoroughly unrelated?

What kind of twist was this? Was it not simply too amazing to contemplate?

Against his wishes, Yun Yang actually began thinking instinctively about what Ji Lingxi had said.

Ji Lingxi could not help probing further when Yun Yang kept quiet for so long, "Tell me quickly. How can I know what type of woman you like if you don't say it? There has to at least be some direction."

"Actually, I don't have any strict requirements… As long as she's a woman…" Yun Yang coughed dryly and mumbled under his breath.

There was a clack from Ji Ling's mouth as she said, " It is terribly hard when you don't have any requirements. It's easier to choose with some specific conditions."

'You know that there's a peerless beauty right in front of you now! You actually dared to say… as long as she's a woman…'

'Do you want me to die from anger? Do you?'

Yun Yang coughed again and seemed to ponder in earnest before he spoke again, "As long as I don't get beaten up from hugging or kissing her… that'll be great! Like Shangguan…"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Wham!"

Yun Yang flew away with his limbs splayed out.

"Bam!"

He flew into the yard which was about seventy to eighty feet away; he was unhurt and unmarked, except for a dainty footprint on his abdomen.
