Chapter 599: Bad Habits Die Hard
The reaper spread her hands. Thats precisely it. Hes gone missing.
Gone missing? Hui mumbled. Did the resentment demons kill him? Can they even kill a reaper? Come to think of it, what can kill a reaper? He frowned at the reaper thoughtfully.
What? the reaper asked, crossing her arms.
Nothing, nothing. Er, Elder Sister I was just heading out to the Eight Tiers Palace. The last time I saw Si Wang, he was lingering around the palace. Ill look for him while Im there, Hui promised.nove(l)bi(n.)com
Please do, Landlord of the Underworld, the reaper replied, deadpan.
Hui winced. How does that sound so much less impressive than Lord of the Underworld, when its technically a higher rank? Yes, yes. Of course I will.
Hui, come on. Are you keeping the jade beauty to yourself? Let me see, Bai Xue said, nudging him.
Its the reaper, Hui said flatly, looking at Bai Xue.
Eh? Bai Xue asked, furrowing his brows.
The reaper. The one who takes your soul when you die, Hui said.
Bai Xue frowned. Arent you afraid of death more than anything else? How are you talking casually with the reaper?
Ah, well, II was dead for a while, and we got acquainted
A grin started spreading over Bai Xues face.
Not like that! Hui said quickly, waving his hands. The Seniors were bad enough, I dont need Bai Xue doing it, too! No, no. We were coworkers, thats all, thats all! And now I suppose I suppose, Im her boss, in a way, so
Coworkers to lovers? How adorable. Now I have to meet her. Is she the third member of little Huis harem? How cute! Bai Xue exclaimed.
No, no, absolutely not! Hui said, shaking his head.
The reaper snorted. You dont have to deny it that hard.
Eh? Elder Sister Hui rubbed the back of his neck. If she doesnt want me to deny it does she like me, after all?
The reaper sighed. So many useless thoughts. Turning on her heel, she vanished.
Beauty! You really wont show me that lovely face of yours? Bai Xue asked sweetly.
Hui shook his head. Shes gone, Elder Brother.
Hui coughed. Er, Bai Xue shes undead, not dead. Still a powerful force, and, er, I told her that I had Zhubi in my safekeeping. She may be watching me.
You tell me that now? Bai Xue asked. He shook his head like a dog and ran his sopping wet hair back, then grinned at Hui. What do you think? Drenched robes its a good look, right?
Bai Xue, Hui admonished him matter-of-factly.
Oh right, right. Bai Xues form flickered, and a woman in white robes stood before Hui. She shifted her hair over her shoulder and smiled at him. So?
Hui forcibly averted his eyes, raising his hands to hide Bai Xue from his sight. Youryour robes theyre white, I
Oh? Is it a bit too spicy for Xiao Hui? Bai Xue purred. She leaned up against him, her wet robes soaking into his. Her body heat brushed against his skin, the wet fabric conducting it directly to his, as though no barriers separated them at all. Something soft nestled around his arm, as she hugged it to her.
Hui swallowed. He glanced back at Bai Xue, only to quickly look away. Bai Xue, please
Please? she asked, tilting her head and fluttering her lashes at him.
Now isnt the time
Bai Xue pushed him back. His back struck a tree. She grinned. It isnt?
Over here! I hear theres a huge gorilla beast
Three young cultivators, two boys and one girl, in red robes burst through the bushes. They fell silent, jaws falling open. Whoa one of the boys whispered.
Stop! Stop looking! Sorry, Seniors, very sorry! the girl cried, yanking the boys backward.
Wait, hold on. We could learnwe, er, pointers! one of the boys stuttered, his eyes running up and down Bai Xue.
No wait. Lets go, come on!
The children vanished. Hui put a hand to his forehead. Were still in the training zone
We could be elsewhere, Bai Xue said suggestively.
Hui pushed her away. Come on, come on. We need to go prepare to be kidnapped off to Eight Tiers Palace.
Sure. But first a little fun? Bai Xue asked, tilting her head.
Hui coughed. Lets get off the trial zone first.
A slow smile spread over Bai Xues face. She hummed in satisfaction and led him away, taking to the air once more.
