Ten Months On

Chapter 38: Wife?

Thanks for the votes and adds!

----------

The crowd turned their eyes to look at the slender figure in red who had turned her head elegantly to face Shen Yi. The gold threads of ruby and pearls tinkled pleasantly with every movement.

Unlike the fierce provocative beauty of Lady Bai Lan, the soft calming beauty of Fairy Ruge, this lady seemed to pale in comparison with how muted she seemed, ignoring the world.

But no one knew (besides Shen Yi) that Su Chen was alarmed by his sudden attack.

She had clearly been minding her own business, having an enjoyable time eating the delicacies before her, drinking sips of osmanthus wine, appreciating the beautiful men and women (not that many of them) in the crowd roving about when suddenly everyone had turned their eyes to her.

It seemed that she was asked a question.

But...

What was the question????

Su Chen, with all Wangfei training out in full force, calmly smile at the pervert next to her, using all her willpower to send secret messages through her eyes.

Why the heck are they looking at me??

Shen Yi turned to smile lovingly back yet his twinkling eyes responded.

Cos my wifey is pretty.

Which made Su Chen want to kill him and had to do all she could to not leak the killing intent in her eyes.

All the members who were waiting for her answer with baited breath were treated to intense dog food of the loving couple who seemed to be staring at each other in love, sparks flying in the air.

Many were shocked at the sudden announcement that Sect Master Shen was married. For six years since he took over the role of Sect Master, he was never seen with a woman by his side. Many women in and out of the jianghu had thrown themselves to him, but he rejected them all.

No one could figure out why.

When they asked Wurong Jian, he merely laughed heartily saying that the women were not his type.

They then sent different types of women as peace offerings. After all, a woman from their sect would be a useful spy for this dangerous threat of theirs.

Once again, the women were thrown out! What was wrong with this man??

They then asked Jun Qiang. But that beautiful boy had made it worse when he suddenly delicately sobbed and cut his sleeves. The people where stunned! Was Young Shen... A cut sleeve?

But it was okay. After all, this was the jianghu. Everything was permitted.

So poor Shen Yi was then bombarded with different types of men for a few months before he made a show of rejecting all these men by stripping and hanging them by the doors to North Wind.

Then the jianghu sects left him alone, thinking him a bizarre monk in disguise.

Bah! To each his own!

So when Shen Yi brought out a woman, holding hands possesively, many were intrigued.

Many wondered if he had brought a daughter of a famous official, a princess of another country, or an elite hidden fighter who had kept away from civilizations. Surely Shen Yi's partner would be someone elite. If the prodigy Fairy Ruge was not in his eyes, then this woman must be so much more.

As they ruminated over this, they realised that the woman by Shen Yi's side had not replied. Instead she had calmly stared at Shen Yi. And looked away!!

Daring to reject that Monster Shen Yi?? That devious man who had incited fear among many sect members, especially after he wiped the entire White Moon sect on his own!

Everyone could feel the tension mounting, fearing a sudden outbreak of war.

But all Shen Yi did was laughed as he drew the palm in his hand to kiss gently.

"My wife doesn't seem to assent. Fellow Sect Masters and respectable Elders. Don't force this Young Master into this position anymore. Silver Wolf has always taken a neutral stand and will continue to do so."

Shen Yi smiled. And he got up ready to leave this farce. He had came to make things clear about his stand. He could not be bothered to be manipulated by that conniving Yu from Starry Sky and had simply wanted to stake his claim on Chen'er.

No one was to covet him. And definitely not her. If they even took a step to hurt her, he was ready to destroy more than just a measly White Moon Sect this time.

Shen Yi lamented at how he has fallen. Obviously, it had all started with a simple appreciation of a female's beautiful body. Yet it had sadly made him a degenerate, obsessed and possessive person of a single woman who was so uniquely his. So capable and yet so fragile.

As he held her closed, the little girl still puzzling over his words, he was contented.

Others might not appreciate her, but he could. And he won't let her go.

"Brother Shen!"

Ruge ran up to her beloved Brother Shen. She had loved him for so long. Her adopted Father, Sect Master Yu had promised him to her. Yet why was this happening.

Immediately Wurong Jian blocked her from the two.

"You oaf! Get out of the way! The one beside Brother Shen should be me!" Ruge's beautiful tears streaked down her face.

"Brother Shen! This is not how the jianghu works! I-I challenge her!!"

Ruge screamed incomprehensibly, her hands trying to reach towards Shen Yi and Su Chen desperately! Her senior brother had arrived to pull her aside.

"I challenge her!! I challenge you to a fight!!"

Su Chen stared calmly at the pitiful woman in love before her. This, she understood somewhat on what was happening. This girl was sadly another deluded female who fell in love with that perverted wolf. Tsk.

However, looking at that beautiful teary face of desperation, her heart felt pain for this woman who seemed to be a mirror of who she was before.

Sigh.

Su Chen berated how compassionate she was for this obviously sincere woman before her.

She stopped Shen Yi from dragging her away, not noticing his amused expectant face.

And then his amused expression immediately dropped at Su Chen's words.

"Miss Ruge. This lady was truly touched by your words and true love for Sect Master Shen. This lady does not want to fight with you and will concede to give Young Master Shen to you and celebrate your true love together!"
