The girls were suddenly saved by someone appearing out of nowhere. It was only after that when finally, among the group of people who were with Prince Reuben, someone recognized that it was Austin who had saved them.
When the two girls had seen Elder Xiao of Flower Blooming Sect making his moves, they had exchanged a frightened look and then closed their eyes.
But the next moment, someone had grabbed their hands and pulled them to a side.
When they didn't feel what they had expected to happen, they opened their eyes. When they found themselves safe, they looked at each other in joy.
"We... We are still alive!" The girl in the red clothes cried out in joy. Suddenly, her eyes brightened up. She saw a young man standing by her side: their savior was no stranger to them.
"It is you, little beggar! It is you who saved us today!" She recognized Austin and shouted out. If given her way, she would easily have started jumping in joy. She couldn't restrain herself and took Austin's hand.
"You... How can you be here?" The girl in the white clothes looked at Austin questioningly. She was overwhelmed and overjoyed too. She tried to say something but only this question left her mouth even after pondering for quite a while.
The two of them had been in an isolated and helpless situation when Austin had popped out of nowhere. Seeing him, the two girls suddenly felt that they had someone to count on now, as if they were drowning and he was their straw.
The one in white clothes was too overwhelmed but the other one was focused only on seizing Austin's hand.

When she approached Austin, her expressions were excited and grateful.
The interesting thing was, when Austin had seen two girls about to be killed by Elder Xiao, he had instantly decided to save them. He didn't know them well but he didn't want to see them get killed either.
"What a coincidence." Austin greeted them.
Austin stood in between those two pretty girls, smelling the sweet fragrance that left the young girls' fresh bodies. He was tightly clasped in between them, and one of his hands was in the strong, grateful grip of the girl in red clothes. To be honest, he felt touched at that moment.
"Little beggar, when we arrived in imperial capital city, we were waiting for you in the place we agreed upon. But you never showed up.
| thought you would never show up and that you had abandoned us." The girl in the red clothes bent her eyebrows and twittered.
"Sue, stop calling him little beggar! He is not a beggar at all!" The girl in the white clothes didn't think it was appropriate to address Austin as little beggar all the time. It was impolite.
"It's his fault you know! He lied to us first. He made me feel pity for him. So I will call him little beggar. He is a liar so he has to accept whatever that lie brings him." Sue pouted her mouth but as soon as she finished her sentence, she immediately covered her mouth because the last part of her dialogue was very easy to misinterpret. She felt shy and flushed to a bright shade of tomato red.
The people present were looking at them in amusement and wonder. Over a thousand pair of eyes were directed their way.
They could see that the two girls were extremely gentle while talking to Austin. In fact, they were frank and coy.
"Don't blame Sue. She is just joking. Ever since that night, she hasn't stopped talking about you." The girl in the white clothes tried to explain her stance to Austin. She didn't feel it was right to let Austin be accused like that.
"Yes, she's right. You were so awesome that night.
You were so gentle and frail-looking but you turned out to be so good. We were seriously impressed by you that night." Sue continued her monologue, almost oblivious of the surrounding crowd.
"What? The two girls were seriously impressed that night? That NIGHT...?" Wow! The crowd heard the girls clearly and whispers started to flow.
"Little beggar, | thought we would never see you again after we parted ways that night in C Village. But here we are. We meet again.
And today, we want to return the favors you did for us that night." Sue pouted again and told him.
The night which the two girls kept mentioning, was obviously the night when Austin had saved them from the Blood Wolf Team in C Village.
And obviously, what Austin had given them were the two corpse generals.
But to everyone else, when presented without context, it meant something else entirely.

They were thinking about something else altogether.
"I see. No wonder that they decided to die rather than become the concubines of grand prince. It turns out that they have an affair with this young man." "Yes. From their conversation, it's so obvious that after this young man had sex with these two girls, then he abandoned them and left. But these two girls were already captivated by him and they have been expecting, wanting even, to see him again. Awesome! He's so awesome!" "Wow, this young man looks so ordinary. But he made these two pretty girls lose themselves. Our ancestors were right, never judge a book by its cover!" "I'm convinced. He did it with two pretty girls in a single night! And both of them are impressed! But it looks like he doesn't want to let the relationship go on. It is the girls who are entangled. | have to say I'm convinced." "I always thought Tin was a good fighter. But | was only partially right. He is good with girls too. And who are these two girls anyway? The elder prince wants them but will never have them. But they are captivated by Tin.
Wow... Tin, you're my idol." Dewey said. He was a man in Prince Reuben's group.
"Who would believe this? No one would have expected this. I'm sorry, but | really want to laugh right now. | remember when | wanted to spend a night with the most popular whore in a whorehouse, she was taken away by my brother.
| had never expected that Austin would do something that would, you know, sort of get revenge for me.
I'm so happy." Prince Reuben suddenly laughed out loud.
People kept talking about that. They were gathering in the palace of the grand prince which was decorated with lanterns and colored hangings.
They had come there to celebrate. But no one had expected that things would go on this way.
The grand prince felt so terrible right now. His mind was struggling to grasp what had happened. It was a huge humiliation for him. He didn't want to believe it but he also saw that the two girls had seized that young man and were talking about some night. They were saying it all by themselves. No one had forced them! What was worse, he had almost married those two girls in front of a thousand people. But it turned out that they had already had sex with another man. He felt so humiliated! If it was the old him, he would have killed every one of Flower Blooming Sect in his palace right now, including those two girls.
But it was a crucial time and a war for the crown was going on. Besides, there were seven or eight hundred cultivators in the palace right now, so if he killed anyone in front of the public and if it came to the knowledge of the pedantic ministers or his father, it wouldn't do so good for him.
He had to be extremely careful right now.
