Like a Ray in My Night

23 Who Is the Shameless One?

Yun Bei Fen held onto his savior'sshoulders for dear life, his eyes wide open. He hadn't yet realizedthat the person he was hanging onto was his beloved senior martialbrother Mei. At the moment, he only felt that the sword below hisfeet was missing and heard his robe flapping in the wind. The gustsalso blew his hair into his face.

What had his Master done? Could itbe that he didn't want him anymore?! He had actually thrown himaway just like that! And in the air at that! If nobody had caughthim, he might have fallen down and died a terrible death!

Ah, thankfully, someone had caughthim! He should light up some incense to pray for that person's goodfortune when they arrived in the border region.

Yun Bei Fen looked up with gratefuleyes only to blank when he saw the dark eyes he had daydreamed aboutso often stare back at him. "Senior martial brother Mei?"

"Mn." Mei Chao Bingsmiled. "Don't you want to step onto the sword?"

Yun Bei Fen looked down only to seehis feet dangle in the air next to Mei Chao Bing's sword. Heblinked.

Wait. If his feet weren't on thesword ... then how was he not falling?

He looked up again and found hishands clutching Mei Chao Bing's shoulders. His cheeks that hadpaled when his Master threw him off flushed red and he hurriedlylooked away. Before he had time to chastise himself for his behavior,he found out that not only was he holding onto Mei Chao Bing'sshoulders, Mei Chao Bing was, in turn, holding onto his waist.

His ears also turned red. Oh no! Howcould this have happened? Just what had his Master done?! This waseven worse than just letting go of him in the air!

Mei Chao Bing smiled. Had this shortfall frightened the little bunny that much? Mn, he shouldn't lethim suffer any longer. He pulled him up onto the sword but stilldidn't let go of him. Don't kid him! He finally had him where hewanted him. Why wouldn't he take advantage of that? Especiallysince Yun Bei Fen's Master didn't seem to mind the thought.

Mn, since his Master was alrightwith this, there was no reason to hold back. He held Yun Bei Fen withone hand and cupped his cheek with the other. "It's alrightnow. Don't be afraid. You're safe here with me."

Yun Bei Fen's heart raced and hisbody seemed to burn where Mei Chao Bing was touching him. Oh, no!What should he do now? Wouldn't his senior martial brother rememberthat kiss if things went on like this? He couldn't let that happen!He had to divert his attention somehow.

He glanced around for anything hecould use but the only thing he saw was Mei Chao Bing's robe andthe hair hanging down over his shoulder and the sword below theirfeet. Mn, what a nice pair of shoes. He couldn't say that, couldhe?

Mei Chao Bing didn't mind thesilence. His little bunny was obviously very shy. Naturally, hewouldn't know what to say in this situation. Mn, he should find atopic they could talk about. It should be something harmless though.He didn't want to scare him, after all.

Mei Chao Bing didn't have too muchtrouble finding such a topic. "Junior martial brother Yun, say,how long has it been since you established your foundation? If youcan't learn how to use a flying sword yet, I could help you withconsolidating your realm first."

Yun Bei Fen's eyes lit up. Ah,senior martial brother Mei was so nice! He was actually still talkingto him even though he had kissed him back then.

The poor Yun Bei Fen had somehowforgotten that it had originally been Mei Chao Bing who initiatedtheir kiss. In his mind, it had been him who shamelessly assaultedhis senior martial brother because he was so happy that nothing hadhappened to him. Thus he was even more grateful that Mei Chao Bingwould go out of his way to help him.

"It hasn't been long yet.Just a few days ago."

"Mn, in that case, cultivatingfurther should be your first priority. How about I accompany you inthat after we've reached the border region? You can ask meeverything that is weighing on your mind."

Next to them, Yang Wu Huang wasboiling with rage. What was with the grateful look on Yun Bei Fen'sface? No, more than that, why had Elder Baili thrown the beauty tothat traitor in the first place?! Wouldn't he be a much bettercandidate than him?

Ah, well, it had probably beeninstinct because Mei Chao Bing had been flying closer to him. TheElder probably hadn't even stopped to think about what he wasdoing. Ugh, just because this guy had been so shameless!

And now, because Mei Chao Bing hadcaught him Yun Bei Fen was feeling much better toward him. Hecouldn't let this go on! If that guy could make the beauty gratefulto him just by being a bit shameless, then he could do the same!

He steered his flying sword closerto them and smiled at Yun Bei Fen. "Junior martial brother Yun,the same naturally goes for me. Why don't I accompany you rightafter we get back? Since it hasn't been that long since I formed mycore, I'm still very much aware of all the troubles one mightencounter in the foundation establishment stage. I'm sure listeningto this would be very much beneficial to you."

Mei Chao Bing narrowed his eyes. Hadthis guy still not given up? Well, looking at the little bunny in hisarms, he didn't have to worry about this anyway. He wanted to saysomething but the little bunny was faster.

"Ah, there's no need forthat, senior martial brother Yang. Hasn't senior martial brotherMei been in the core formation stage for a long time already? I'msure he knows a lot about cultivation."

Yang Wu Huang's lips twitched.This little ... Did he want to say that he knew less aboutcultivation because he had only formed his core not too long ago?!
