111 Cruel Truth and Sweet Lie

"Let's go" he smiled at her and instantly, they shot into the distance closing in to the civilisation.

Leng Yue Yan's face was once more covered by the thin blue veil. Sheng Tian scratched his head and found no reasonable explanation for her behaviour.

What's up with her?

Shaking his head, he sighed in exasperation "Did she decide to devote her life to me? Only showing her face to her husband? Eh, aaagh, fuck" a cold palm descended on his back and almost blasted him away.

"You hot tempered cold woman!" Sheng Tian turned around and glared at Leng Yue Yan, only to be attacked by a terrifying sword attack.

His vest was torn and he could feel his back almost frozen from her attack earlier.

This girl, why the hell is she eavesdropping my noble thoughts? Humph! You lurker!

Wait till I let you know who's the boss. I didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice. Respecting hubby is a virtue, you know?

Leng Yue Yan coldly turned to the side and was about to fly ahead.

She never expected Sheng Tian would suddenly launch at her side and

"Pa!"

A sharp sensation spread from her buttocks to the whole of her body, shame and rage welled from the bottom of her heart.

She clenched her teeth and forcefully suppressed the faint moan that almost escaped her throat due to his outrageous act.

"You perverted bastard!" The cold beauty's voice was like a heaven's decree, a faint blue light originated from her body and started spreading across the sky.

The clouds, dust, even air started to be slow down before her might.

Unknowingly, she tapped into her Heavenly Ice Physique's potential.

With her Snow Storm shimmering in one hand, she shot at Sheng Tian as if he was the most evil person on the planet.

Sheng Tian flapped the Heaven's wings and turned back.

Looking at the human rocket, he puffed his chest and exclaimed "Yue Yan, you are punished according to the family rules. Your hubby is no weakling. If I ever had to fight you, I would…..run away."

He did as he said and dashed off into the distance.

"Stop your delusions. You can never win me over. Even now you're running off, face me like a man!" Not even realising what she meant, she yelled those words.

"Swish." With a flash, he appeared a hair's distance away from her.

His face almost met hers. Their bodies were already touching each other. He deeply looked into her eyes and smiled, his warm breath blowing on her cold face "Do you know what a real man does?" Her eyes showed confusion and anger. He chuckled and instantly held her waist.

His huge black wings flapped, blowing away the clouds as he chased horizon.

After receiving the Heaven's Wings, Sheng Tian's speed could be said to shot through the roof.

If he fought normally, his speed would be a single major realm above his own, First level of Sky Realm.

But with the highly sophisticated arrays on the wings, they used various laws of the Dao and provided him a speed boost upto the 9th level of Sky Realm.

Recalling how Sheng Tian apologised for his brute behaviour in the cave and how he behaved now, she couldn't help but wonder.

Thus, she called out "What do you see me as? A plaything or an object you can do whatever you wish for? These plays will bore us sooner or later. You don't love me. You just like a cold woman like me and want to have me."

Sheng Tian's smile froze and his gaze turned cold. He looked into her eyes. His sky blue pupils held no gentleness or warmth he usually had, instead they were filled with extreme indifference, but deep inside were ripples shaking his soul.

An object or a plaything? No. He never had such thought.

But how did it all begin? If he was honest, then it all began when he wanted a "Cold Beauty".

He knew nothing about her. Not her name. Not even who she really is.

Even know, he knew little about her. What are her goals? This was an easy thing for him to know. But how does she want to live her life in the end, what are the conflicts she has inside? He knew nothing.

Some of their actions might seem intimate, but only they could feel the invisible barrier that existed between them—Trust.

No, this is not the issue of betrayal. They were able to trust each other enough to let the other person guard their lives.

When Sheng Tian decided to breakthrough to Earth Realm when Leng Yue Yan was with him was the same as trusting that she would not harm him.

The same held true when he took her sword attack in the cave after feeling remorseful about his own behaviour and passed out for a long time without a fear that she might attack him in his sleep.

This trust is already there. But this is not the kind of trust he was looking for. He was looking for something deeper, something more meaningful.

Perhaps, he also realised that he didn't resonate with her in a deeper level like he did with Xiao Lian.

He couldn't feel the same pain when he saw her getting injured instead of Xiao Lian. He couldn't think of a future together for them, only the present thought of conquest.

He wanted to conquer. Yes. That is the truth at the heart of things.

He wanted to conquer a cold beauty, conquer her heart. Later, he realised she was a person who had some qualities he really liked.

She was strong, being able to stand up against the odds. Independent—doing everything by herself and didn't rely on her master. Cute sometimes.

That's it!

Then he got to know she had a rough childhood. And that really made her relatable to his own childhood.

He saw her as an extension of himself, when she clearly is a separate and independent person. It's this shadow of himself in her that he cared for the most.

If she is not a cold beauty he read in the novels, would he have cared about her even a bit? No.

If she was a beauty, then he might have scoffed it off. He needed more than a bag of skin.

Then what is he trying to do now?

He was directly or indirectly, through all means trying to get her to like him. Why? Because he could never make her his woman once her physique completely awakens!

While it's true that he never lied, cheated or manipulated in the process and maintained honesty, so what?

When he saw her as a means to the cold beauty and not as an end itself, that was when their relationship ended before it even began.

There was no true reason to go so far, then why did he go? Purely for himself! To fulfil his own desire of having a Cold Beauty in his harem.

Even if he got her to love him, then what?

Would he be okay living for hundreds of years with a person he didn't consider as a true person?

Sheng Tian's arm wrapping around her waist loosened as his body shook as he withdrew from her.

He took a deep breath and continued to fly forward.

Leng Yue Yan's eyes turned misty. She felt the barrier between them thicken and though the distance between their bodies was only a few meters, their hearts were too far away.

This didn't break her heart though. Nor did she resent Sheng Tian. She always believed she didn't deserve a good relationship and a good life.

In fact, she also felt that people with her couldn't have a happy life. That happened with her family.

Her master had problems. Meng Xin faces difficult life. Everyone connected to her were in some form or the other, plagued with misfortune.

This is Leng Yue Yan's view of herself. Thus, when Sheng Tian's arm left her waist, she sighed in relief.

She didn't know why she felt so relieved, like a burden was taken off her chest.

Poor her, she didn't realise she that she didn't want Sheng Tian to suffer misfortune due to associating with her.

Why did she feel this way? No one knows.

... .... ... .....

To the west of the Beast Empire was the Lake of Frozen Tears. Since it was within the Empire, there were no walls obstructing them from entering the empire.

"Whoosh" Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan landed before the empire.

Unlike a human city, this one had no guards or gates.

Only a bunch of low level profound beasts patrolling the streets.

Impulsive to call this all a high level zoo, he didn't turn to look at her and spoke calmly "If things go south, use the teleportation token. And yeah, use your ice flame to trigger it."

"Kill" Sheng Tian's figure moved and appeared in front of the several profound beasts that were patrolling.

They were only in the Earth Realm. With a burning profound light, he slashed at the twenty profound beasts.

These beasts were alerted when they saw two humans and were about to inform their higher ups.

But before they could even blink, a bloody light flashed and ended their lives.

Nothing remained but a red mist.

"What?!" A snow wolf from one of the houses howled alerting the remaining profound beasts in the district.

Not one a second past and a fire work was in the sky sending the emergency signal.

The next moment, a group of cultivators appeared in the sky and bellowed. "Capture them!"

"As expected." Sheng Tian didn't hesitate and took her hand in his and flapped away his wings.

Even though he realised the truth of their relationship, he still held the sense of camaraderie in high regard.

"Whoosh." His speed multiplied and he shot into the air, nearing the limits of the Sky Realm.

The Wings of Heaven gave him the biggest advantage—unmatched speed!

Leng Yue Yan looked at him with a strange expression. With a sigh, she let him carry her with him.

Sheng Tian didn't touch her waist to fly her like he previously did. Instead, he held her palm and carried her along with him.

He tried hard to smile normally "See, the Elders won't interfere. If they could, they would've already attacked us in the Frozen Tears Lake."

Leng Yue Yan's expression didn't change.

Too caught up in escaping, he failed to realise the subtle expressions of hope and struggle; joy and repulsion in her eyes.

Crossing the tall buildings, Sheng Tian shook off those Sky Realm profound beasts.

Before he could rejoice, a dragon roar mixed with a wolf howl shook his body and he turned around to see a group of creatures which looked like a wolf with a dragon head, completely eerie.

However, a group of purple snow eagles also arrived behind them and so did a group of large snow wolves. Then followed charm foxes, diamond apes, rage bears, Heavenly Tigers, and thousand clan python.

This is not the important part though. It is that each and every of these creatures is in the Ninth level of the Sky Realm!

"Motherfuc.." Sheng Tian stopped cursing and dodged the dozens of attacks hastily.

"This is cheating." He yelled and instantly dashed off in the only retreat.

Looking at him heading towards the castle, a sneer formed on faces of the profound beasts before they continued chasing him cutting of his directions of retreat.

However, they failed to notice the disdainful smile hung on his lips.

Soon, Sheng Tian was dancing in the sky, dodging all kinds of attacks ranging from profound energy spears to sonic wave blasts to deathly poison or illusions.

His hand still tightly held Leng Yue Yan as they advanced towards the castle on the hill.

Sheng Tian felt something and turned to look at Leng Yue Yan.

Patting her hand, he parted his lips and made some silent sounds. She read his lip movements and nodded lightly.

Placing her hand on his back, a stream of cool profound energy entered his profound veins.

The glow on his black wings intensified before he shot into the castle.

An exotic garden welcomed him as it embellished by myriad flowers, profound fruits and herbs.

When he was about to cross the garden, rays of deadly profound energy shot at his wings, almost cutting them into half.

"Ssss" Sheng Tian twisted his waist and dodged in a hair's breadth, a profound energy barrier enveloped him and Leng Yue Yan.

However, he underestimated the strength of the ninth level of Sky Realm!

Only two of their attacks hit him and his profound energy barriers shattered to pieces.

Sheng Tian saw the profound beasts encircling him from every direction above. With his brows furrowed, he looked at Leng Yue Yan who was silently providing with profound energy and nodded.

Since fighting together for more than a week, they already began to understand these little symbols.

She waved her hand and a terrifying bone chilling flame appeared in the space soundlessly.

The flame had a soft ice blue coloured as it flickered on her palm.

It looked like a peaceful butterfly as it danced like a little cat. However, every single soul in the vicinity could feel the horrifying threat hidden beneath that beautiful appearance.

"Att-" before the leaders of the squad could finish, a blinding light shone and enveloped everyone.

Then, a terrifying sword aura rose from below and blasted them away.

"Fk these thugs. They just won't die." Sheng Tian released Leng Yue Yan's hand and muttered under his breath.

Rolling her eyes, she retrieved the flame into her dantian. Her face was already turning pale but she didn't care.

Too bad, Sheng Tian didn't guess the extent of resilience of a ninth level Sky Realm cultivator.

Even if Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan's combined attack earlier was able to kill a fifth level Sky Realm cultivator, it was after all too weak facing a ninth level Sky Realm Warrior much less a bunch of them.

"Kill" all the nine squads charged their profound energy and various profound arts were used, just a moment away from annihilating Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan.

"Stop!" A cute voice shocked everyone!
