Chapter 4 Xia Shuiyao

Inside Xia Shuiyao's room.

A faint fragrance of a woman gently brushed past Xia Tian. He inhaled it lightly as his gaze roamed around inside her bedroom. It was very simplistic, with mild decorations, there were few antique vases, and that was it. Nothing spectacular was present in her room.

The bed was empty, so he moved further towards the trace of an earlier voice that he heard from the left corner of the room.

A sigh of admiration escaped from his mouth. This son of destinies really enjoys, world-class beauties.

Xia Tian saw a figure of a girl. She wore a long blue dress that was enough to cover her legs, her dark and gorgeous hair was casually draped over her shoulder, and she had a slender waist and a delicate figure, her tall figure wasn't any shorter than his. She should be 44 years old, but being a cultivator naturally slows down aging so her figure was the same as that of a girl in her 20s.

She was standing on her bare feet facing a large white sheet of paper.

At this moment, Xia Shuiyao was aware of his arrival but she was still too engrossed to respond to him, her hands holding a paint brush traveled gracefully across the plain white sheet of paper.

Suddenly, she tore apart the whole paper, scraping it she threw it away.

Then, she slowly moved her hands downwards and grabbed another sheet of paper not before giving a cold look at Xia Tian

"Get out!!" She uttered.

Evelynn has disappeared from the room using invisibility. She would appear in front of Xia Tian only when he is alone or only he asks for it.

"Is that you greet your little brother who comes to meet his sister? Ahh... It truly saddens me, and here I was previously thinking to forget about the earlier matter, sigh."

Xia Tian said with a pondering look, his plan worked as just after he said this, the girl's hand stopped and she turned around.

Her true face come into his full view, and he could finally see it, she had an incomparably delicate face, her eyebrow were slender and she had jade-like skin and a very beautiful body. Her sapphire eyes gazed across his body as if a fairy looking at the mundane world.

Xia Tian froze for a moment, he suddenly felt as if someone had thrown a stone in standing water sending ripples across his brain. However, outside he still retained a calm look as he threw himself into her bed.

He snatched the spare bed sheet and took a sniff out of it. "Aaahh... This fragrance, sister did someone ever told you, that you smell like white roses."

"!!"

Xia Shuiyao was enraged by his sudden behavior, her face was covered in anger, large amount of qi gathered around her left hand and formed the shape of a huge ball.

It was shot forward at a very high speed toward him. Her cultivation was at the mid-level of the earth profound realm so surviving this attack should be impossible for Xia Tian who had a cultivation base of peak of the spirit formation realm.

But is this the same old Xia Tian!?

Haha, he just chuckled lightly her attack all the qi dissipated, further surprising the girl. Even for him who was a genius, it was impossible to come out unscathed.

First, he barged into her room, which his cowardly behavior will never do, and now this!?

But before she can think any further, he appeared in front of her, and afterward, he tapped her head lightly making all of her cultivation disappear.

Xia Shuiyao's body froze, her eyes were nearly bulging out of the socket. Things are happening too fast for her to understand.

Her body was hugged by Xia Tian from behind while he was sitting on her bed, holding her tall figure. One of his hand were caressing her waist, while another was gently stroking her face.

His face moved forward towards her hair.

A disgusted look filled with anger appeared on Xia Shuiyao's face but he ignored her and took some strands of her hair in his hand and inhaled it softly, showing a mesmerizing smile.

"..."

"Give me a good reason to not kill you!?" Xia Shuiyao said.

She had already recorded herself, her ice-cold and pleasant-to-hear voice again resounded in the room. Even though she lost her cultivation but her character is still the same...

Xia Tian surprisingly released her at the same time and shook his head slightly with a helpless voice. "... She was never this cold."

Xia Shuiyao was surprised being released by him all of a sudden.

She instantly stood up and distance herself from him. Her face was fuming with anger, but without her cultivation, she can only stare at him with an ice-cold gaze.

"She was the very embodiment of gentleness and obedience, while you are just like an ice sculpture."

Her eyes met his, as Xia Tian was talking to himself. Finally, he stood up and again approached her, this time only gently moving his hands across her face.

Xia Shuiyao just stood there like a block of ice, with no signs of emotions. She is known as the Ice goddess in the Xia family.

She is extremely cold to everyone in the family, not even Xia Leng and Long Wanhui can approach her.

Her body occasionally trembled with Xia Tian's touch, but she did not try to fight him.

She had already noticed the abnormality in his behavior, current Xia Tian is completely different than the past one.

"You know, ... You are like a shard of ice ... too sharp that it will cut anything which it touches but at the same time too brittle that it will just break with slight pressure." Xia Tian's voice brushed past her ears sending chills over her body.

"What do you want!? And who are you!?" Xia Shuiyao asked coldly.

It was clear she was intimidated as she was unable to see past him.

He doesn't seem to drool at her sight anymore, and neither he has that cowardly aura around him, despite being the youngest genius of the family.

She thought he was possessed, but no, he does not looks like a beast who came here to force his way on his neither he seems to have any plan to let her go anytime soon.

Xia Tian: "Who am I? I am your brother... How can you forget my handsome face so easily?"

Xia Tian feigned a dejected expression, afterwards, he shrugged, and smiled gently.

His expressions and words were not in sync at all, on one hand he was threatening her on another hand, he was smiling gently at her as if handling a treasure.

"Last time you nearly killed me for just peeking at you, and this time this spell of yours was powerful enough to hospitalize me ... Now tell me, how will you compensate me?"

"You are the one at fault!! Don't blame me!!" Xia Shuiyao roared furiously.

She was talking about the incident where she met Xia Tian for the first time, after seeing her, his old self was immediately enchanted by her beauty, his old self was not just a coward but also an idiot.

How can he think he can peek at her naked body in the bath without even getting discovered by her? She was a whole realm above him.

However, before she can seriously injure him Evelynn interrupted them saving his ass. She would not make her move till his life was on the line. All the main members of the Xia family knew she was Immortal and were advised to respect her, this way Xia Shuiyao was forced to retreat.

Even, many servants and guards have heard rumors spreading of her extraordinary identity, at this point becoming Xia Tian's servant was a useless cover for her. But did she care about covering her identity?

As for why Evelynn put forward a condition to teach him only after he get eighteen years old, it was simple, she never intended to teach him.

How can she teach someone, who himself taught her?

Though Evelynn at that time never pursued that matter, Xia Tian still remembered it, and now after recovering his memories how can he miss to take advantage of this opportunity?

"Whose fault was it ... doesn't matter. The thing is you tried to kill me, the first son of Xia family mistress? That also twice. What do you think will happen once I tell this matter to Grandfather? You are 44 years old still stuck in earth profound realm, while I am already at peak of spirit formation realm at 18 years old."

"You tried to kill the best talent of the Xia family?? ... Now if you are clear about your position, why don't we settle this matter here and now."

Xia Shuiyao frowned.

She was also the daughter of Xia Ling and Long Wanhui, but it gave her no advantage. As the daughter of two geniuses, she should long have reached the sage realm, but she was stuck in the same realm from the past 14 years. Her cultivation has stagnated.

That old man, the patriarch of the Xia family only cared about family name and bloodline. He will definitely either disown her or cut her ties with the Xia family, once he gets to know about this matter.

To be honest she was just scared and overthinking... even if she is not talented on a level of genius, she is still their daughter. At most they would just scold her or put her on house arrest.

But right now under influence of Xia Tian, she was unable to think in the right direction. Her emotional mind was slowly overpowering her rational mind, and this is what exactly current Xia Tian wanted.

As for why there were no guards around Xia Tian, it was simple. The old man knew there is an immortal protecting him, what is the need of guard?

Although Xia Shuiyao was cold and ruthless, she wasn't naive, she knew the mistake she has committed but seeing Xia Tian's cowardly nature, she thought he would never dare to use this card against her, but somehow, things turned out to be completely different.

She is naturally aware of her beauty, once the protection of the Xia family is gone, she would definitely end up in a miserable place, however it doesn't mean she would just bend in front of someone twenty-six years younger than her.

Her cultivation is restored but the thought of fighting was not present in her mind after her last defeat.

Yes, she should use that to threaten him!

Suddenly, some color returned to her face. She faced Xia Tian who was enjoying her changing expressions, this is the first time she had shown so many expressions on her face.

Xia Shuiyao calmed down her breathing, she took a deep breath, and spoke with a confident expression.

"I will tell father!!"

She said with ice cold voice, but contrary to her expectations, Xia Tian instead of being scared grinned at her.

"Sure, why not we just directly go to him right now?"

Xia Tian said.
