Chapter 307: I Dont Need Friends

"You really haven't changed at all. Can't you be more straightforward and less like a gossipmonger? Can't you act more like a man?" Xu Meijing frowned, urging impatiently with a touch of displeasure.

In the past, Yang Haoran would have used a smile to ease the awkwardness in such situations, but not this time.

"You have the ultimate yin body. I learned it from Deng Feng. During the battle at the Ghost Building, Deng Feng revealed the reason. He made you the Night Watch to wait for the right moment to take your virginity, absorb the yin energy, and open the earth soul. To protect your virginity, anyone approaching you, male or female, with perceived danger, has secretly been dealt with by him over the years."

Xu Meijing had just lifted her teacup, and upon hearing Yang Haoran's words, her movements paused. There was no significant change in her expression, but the teacup in her hand turned into shards.

The splashed tea evaporated with formidable force, and the shattered teacup transformed into a pile of fragments on the table.

"So, it was really him scheming in the shadows," Xu Meijing said coldly.

From Xu Meijing's words, it seemed that she had suspected Deng Feng over the years for the mysterious disappearance of people around him. However, she lacked evidence. Yang Haoran's words now turned her suspicions into reality.

Yang Haoran remained silent and instead picked up a teacup from the table, pouring another cup for Xu Meijing.

"I never really had friends because my personality isn't likable. I don't want to make friends with just anyone because not everyone deserves to be my friend. Besides, I don't need friends."

"Over the years, anyone who actively approached me, regardless of gender, usually had some ulterior motive. Some even made their intentions very clear. I usually choose to ignore them, as they are like jumping clowns in my eyes, and I can't be bothered with them."

"To be honest, whether they live or die, I really don't care much. After all, we're not from the same world. However, Deng Feng's actions make me extremely uncomfortable."

Although Xu Meijing spoke this way, Yang Haoran could sense the suppressed anger within her.

Besides, Yang Haoran felt a bit awkward hearing Xu Meijing's words. Regardless, he considered Xu Meijing a friend, at least in his eyes, but her words were far from friendly.

Yang Haoran knew that Xu Meijing's words were not directed at him, but unintended words could still create a sense of discomfort for a friend.

"This matter is in the past. The reason I told you is simply to keep you informed," Yang Haoran said with a habitual smile.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

Xu Meijing nodded without continuing the topic. Whether she genuinely didn't care about this matter or intentionally avoided it remained unknown.

In Xu Meijing's eyes, this subtle power fluctuation wasn't considered strong, but compared to the overwhelming power released just now, the current faint emanation seemed quite restrained.

Xu Meijing was shocked; she hadn't expected Yang Haoran's Yin Spirit Power to be this formidable. And this was without activating the Heaven Soul. If he were to open the Heaven Soul, summon the Soul Weapon, Yang Haoran's released Yin Spirit Power would increase even more!

Although they hadn't fought each other, and she didn't know whose combat abilities were stronger, judging by the strength of their Yin Spirit Power, she was indeed inferior to Yang Haoran.

"How did you achieve this?" Xu Meijing tried to keep herself calm, but her eyes betrayed her inner emotions, revealing her astonishment.

"Didn't I tell you before? After opening the Heaven Soul, there are several Death Mark Seals inside me. After refining all of them, my Yin Spirit Power has greatly increased. Besides, my physical body has been nourished with a substantial amount of blood energy, enhancing both strength and defense," Yang Haoran explained with a smile.

Xu Meijing was speechless for a moment. After a while, she sighed and looked at Yang Haoran with complex emotions.

"Your luck is beyond ordinary, truly enviable. In just a few months, you've surpassed me again. Still, congratulations."

Yang Haoran smiled awkwardly. Xu Meijing's complex expression indeed left him unsure of what to say.

Since meeting Xu Meijing until now, they hadn't seen each other many times. However, they often communicated through calls and messages. But at some point, he noticed that every time he faced Xu Meijing, not only could he not utter a single sarcastic word, but even ordinary conversations became cautiously approached.

He knew where the problem lay but didn't have the intention to address it.

"What are you laughing at? Can you put away that hypocritical smile? It makes me feel uneasy. Be careful, or I might tear your mouth apart," Xu Meijing said unhappily.

Yang Haoran, of course, didn't take such threatening words to heart, as Xu Meijing had made similar threats before, and none had been carried out.

"Heh, why did you set up this restrictive barrier here? Do you think you're capable of doing something malicious to me?" Xu Meijing gave Yang Haoran a disdainful look, asking with an aloof demeanor.

This made Yang Haoran somewhat embarrassed. He answered with a smile, "How could I do such a thing? Everyone says I'm a good person. The reason I set up the barrier is to ask you if you've found the Dark Yin Stone."

Xu Meijing, whose complexion was already not great, turned even more unsightly upon hearing this question.

Seeing Xu Meijing's expression, Yang Haoran's smile became a bit more content.
