The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 970: Mistake

Mistake . . .

"This is such a colossal humiliation! You have to provide a comprehensive explanation! Otherwise, you and I shall become sworn enemies from this point forward! I... You won't escape the consequences!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovelFɪre.net

"You are a great figure in the realm. You are known as the second most powerful cultivator in the realm. So what? It won't be worse than death! A man dies, and his dignity stands strong! I don't care!"

Cha Eun Xiao had an exceptionally short temper. He was thoroughly incensed, and he wouldn't consider anything else at this moment. He resembled the person he used to be in his previous life. He could endure being beaten, shouted at, or even killed by someone, as long as that someone was significantly more powerful. However, he wouldn't tolerate humiliation!

His dignity was his unassailable bottom line.

He wouldn't allow anyone to challenge it!

Xuan Bing was grappling with a rather peculiar thought. [He is indeed the man I admire. Proud, haughty, domineering, brave...]

[But... if the interaction method isn't necessary to solve their problems, why did you do that to me?]

She genuinely wanted to inquire.

But... she couldn't.

She had to restrain herself and fix her gaze on Cha Eun Xiao. [It appears... if I don't apologize to him, he won't cease this, will he?]

The jealousy had dissipated, replaced by a strange feeling in her heart.

"You... this is solely your perspective... You're undoubtedly protecting your own reputation..." She inadvertently toned down her overbearing attitude. Nonetheless, a sense of injustice filled her heart, and she struggled to express it.

She still didn't want to yield, although her argument was weaker...

At this moment, she was no longer the Lady Devil of the realm. Suddenly, she resembled a young wife who had made a mistake...

It felt as though she was the maid once more, unsure of how to handle her enraged master.

If Han Bingxue could hear them, he would be utterly flabbergasted.

It was astonishing!

The world's mightiest Lady Devil, the renowned second most powerful cultivator of the Qing-Yun Realm, was unexpectedly displaying a softer, more youthful demeanor!

He unquestionably wouldn't believe what was transpiring...

"What do you mean it's solely my perspective? How could it be just my perspective?" Cha Eun Xiao was losing his composure. [What do I have to say to make you understand that I didn't exploit your disciples! How much more must I explain? I didn't take advantage of them! How can I make you believe that, instead of me exploiting them, they took advantage of me!]

[Do you comprehend?]

[The unique interaction method that your people and I... All the women in your sect...]

He entertained such a thought and couldn't help but feel exasperated... completely exasperated...

He categorically wouldn't shoulder that responsibility, as he believed that Elder Xuan Bing would promptly turn him into a pile of flesh and blood. Furthermore... [Do you genuinely believe I'm capable of that? Absolutely not! I am utterly incapable of such a feat with all your people! Okay?]

"Well... It takes a long time to do that!" He eventually began to speak. His anger had robbed him of his ability to communicate rationally. "It requires at least half a day to complete the interaction method... You have 130,000 individuals... Damn... I... I'll be damned! You... You..."

Xuan Bing's body quivered. She blushed. [What is he talking about? Does he even understand what he's saying? Has he been seriously injured in the head? I haven't done anything to him!]

"Look, Elder Xuan, if you don't believe me, go inspect the two disciples. Your sect comprises only women. I assume you know how to verify a woman's virginity. Examine them, and you'll see whether they've lost their virginity or not!" Cha Eun Xiao was too furious to speak reasonably. "You've wronged me severely! Do you want me to take my own life?"

That was an exceptionally sorrowful statement. It was distressing enough to make the heavens weep.

Cha Eun Xiao gazed down at his crotch and thought, [I... Of course, I can't do that... with over a hundred thousand women...]

[Even an iron rod might become a needle after engaging in relations with so many women... I may completely vanish afterward...]

Xuan Bing was rendered speechless. [Did he truly just suggest that I should inspect the virginity of the two disciples? Bastard... Audacious... How could he say that! Naturally, we know how to perform such examinations... But isn't it excessive to voice it out like this...]

Although she was angry, it presented an opportunity to extricate herself from this awkward predicament. She made a gracious gesture by waving her hand and conceded, "Alright. Maybe I was mistaken... It was an error..."

Cha Eun Xiao was incensed once more. "What do you mean 'maybe'? It was a mistake! You were wrong..."

He felt utterly helpless. [She's a supremely powerful cultivator in the realm... A formidable woman... Why is it so challenging to make her see the truth? She's tarnishing my reputation! If she spreads this... How can I face the martial world?]

Xuan Bing also felt a sense of helplessness. [Why can't you simply cease this? Can't you extend some generosity toward a lady? I admitted I was mistaken. Do you want me to kneel down and apologize? Or... perhaps you want me to warm your bed and offer an apology there?]

"Hmm... It was indeed a mistake... I wronged you..." She sounded even more subdued.

She would never have imagined that she, the Grand Elder of Misty Cloud Palace and the second most powerful cultivator in the realm, would utter such gentle words.

She was apologizing to a young man who was merely at the seventh level of the Dream Origin Stage.

Such an occurrence was beyond her wildest dreams...

What was even more astounding was that, after saying it, she didn't find it peculiar in the slightest...

She was actually somewhat afraid. She didn't want Cha Eun Xiao to continue being angry with her.

When she detected that fear within her heart, she was at a loss about it. [Does Bing'er's memory truly exert such a profound influence on me? Why can't I just allow him to bear the grievance? Why must I assume the burden of this grievance?]

[On one hand, I am the invincible super cultivator in the realm; on the other, I am merely a woman who warms his bed every day. Do I prefer to be the latter?]

[Corrupted!]

"...Very well. I'm a magnanimous man. A magnanimous man always forgives a woman." Cha Eun Xiao took several deep breaths and rolled his eyes.

He eventually regained his composure, but then he began to perspire.

[Heavens... What have I just done?]
