The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 243. Give you a surprise
Chapter 243: 243. Give you a surprise
Fang Zhou actually didn’t intend to two-time, he wasn’t fantasizing about claiming both Han Li and Yu Qing. In this world where men are regarded as inferior to women, it’s almost impossible for a man to have a harem.
Unless he becomes so powerful that he can trample all the rules, making the girls willing to submit to him.
Fang Zhou is currently concealing his relationships with both sides mainly to cling to Han Li, who seems to be the main protagonist. He doesn’t want to ruin his relationship with Yu Qing either, so this is the only strategy he can take.
Once he clarifies things with both of them, one of them is bound to distance herself to avoid suspicion, which would not be worth the loss.
"Taoist Han, nice to meet you."
Yu Qing cupped her hand in salute towards Han Li, as she was quite straightforward and hadn’t thought too much about it.
Han Li politely returned the greeting to Yu Qing. However, being experienced and knowledgeable, she immediately noticed that Yu Qing definitely harbored admiration for Fang Zhou; the look in her eyes was practically dripping with affection.
As for what Fang Zhou was thinking, Han Li couldn’t see through him at all.
"By the way, where did you and Xuan Ling run off to yesterday? You disappeared all of a sudden,"
Fang Zhou asked Yu Qing. At this moment, he absolutely couldn’t give Yu Qing and Han Li the chance to freely communicate. He had to maintain control of the conversation.
Hearing Fang Zhou’s question, Yu Qing immediately showed an embarrassed expression: "Nowhere, I was just having a private chat with Junior Sister Xuan Ling."
After the stage play last night, she indeed went out alone with Xuan Ling to resolve some ’private matters’, but unfortunately, the result was not very satisfactory.
The relationship between Yu Qing and Xuan Ling is probably hard to repair to its original state. But come to think of it, their relationship was never that good from childhood.
Fang Zhou made a sound of acknowledgment and said, "I haven’t seen Han Li in half a year, and she came all this way to see me today. I was just about to take her around the marketplace. Do you want to join us?"
Fang Zhou deliberately emphasized not having seen Han Li for half a year and that she came from far away. Anyone with a bit of tact would politely decline, giving the two of them a chance to be alone.
Yu Qing nodded: "Sure."
Fang Zhou: "..."
Darn, he still couldn’t figure out whether Yu Qing was just a straightforward and naive person or a hidden, cunning boss.
Although Fang Zhou managed to temporarily fool both of them with his reverse manipulation, this effect is only temporary. If the two continue to stay together, they’ll eventually catch on.
Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for using my trump card.
Fang Zhou smiled slightly: "Then let’s go together, we can check out the stage play..."
As he spoke, he made a subtle gesture with his hand behind his back.
"Ah! Robbery!"
A passerby on the other side of the street suddenly exclaimed. The items in her hand unexpectedly rose into the air, flying away.
This passerby was just in the Qi Refining Realm, lacking any flying Magic Treasures, and could only futilely chase after her belongings.
No one expected that such a brazen robbery would occur in broad daylight.
Righteous Yu Qing immediately summoned her Spirit Sword, riding on it to pursue the scene, leaving a few words to Fang Zhou and Han Li.
"You two wait here; I’ll be right back."
Han Li watched Yu Qing fly away, a trace of envy flashed in her eyes.
Flying Treasures are extremely rare in the Cultivation World. A sect like the Heavenly Sword Sect, which equips every disciple with a flying sword, is truly unique.
"Let’s go."
Fang Zhou took Han Li and left.
Han Li curiously asked, "Shouldn’t we wait for her?"
Fang Zhou shook his head: "No need, Taoist Yu Qing is dedicated to eradicating evil, she’s either fighting evil or on her way to fight evil every day. We’ll just enjoy ourselves."
Relief washed over him inwardly, as Liuwa, with the Xuanyuan Sword, should be able to elude Yu Qing for now.
This move was originally intended for Han Li and Xiao Yan, but unexpectedly, it ended up being used on Yu Qing. What a twist of fate.
After wandering two streets with Han Li, Fang Zhou suddenly took her to a secluded spot, smiling: "Close your eyes, I’ve got a surprise for you."
"What surprise?"
Han Li smiled as she closed her eyes, feeling a sudden wave of anxiety. Could it be that he was going to...
Fang Zhou took out a gourd and sucked Han Li into it.
"Whew!"
He then breathed a deep sigh of relief, couldn’t help but wipe the sweat off his forehead.
Gosh, multitasking is exhausting.
After putting Han Li away, Fang Zhou hurried back to the inn and asked Elder Yan Fu to change his face to that of Wang Qini.
Elder Yan Fu looked at him suspiciously: "You better not be up to something bad."
Fang Zhou immediately showed a displeased expression: "Hey, we may be familiar, but if you talk nonsense, I’ll still fall out with you. What’s this about doing bad things? Would someone as handsome, suave, kind, and righteous as me do bad things?"
Elder Yan Fu snorted disdainfully. If you weren’t up to no good, who emptied my stash of tea leaves?
Fang Zhou too snorted: "Do you still want the new works of Teacher Shi?"
Elder Yan Fu obediently shut up, and her hands moved quickly, changing Fang Zhou’s face back.
Afterward, Fang Zhou took a bath, washed off the scents, dried his hair with Spiritual Energy, dressed in the outfit he wore when meeting Xiao Yan before, and removed his height-boosting shoes.
Finishing up, Fang Zhou left the inn, plucking a flower from the greenery out front as he went.
He arrived at the place where he had previously put Xiao Yan into the gourd, took it out, and released Xiao Yan from it.
Xiao Yan flew out of the gourd and landed on the ground, still with her eyes closed.
Because she had been passively asleep in the gourd, Xiao Yan had no idea how long she had been inside, it felt like just an instant.
Xiao Yan felt that just a second ago, something seemed to have fiercely pulled her, and a moment later, she was back on solid ground.
She nervously said, still with her eyes closed: "What are you going to do?"
"Go ahead, open your eyes."
Xiao Yan opened her eyes and saw a vibrant, dewy flower before her.
Fang Zhou smiled gently: "For you."
Xiao Yan’s face immediately turned crimson, her eyes darting around nervously.
She hesitated, reaching out to take the flower.
While silently grumbling, what’s this about, how can a man give flowers to a woman, clearly it’s supposed to be the woman giving flowers to the man
Yet her entire heart was pounding like a nervous deer, thumping nonstop, as warm emotions bubbled up inside her chest.
Fang Zhou wasn’t worried about Xiao Yan misunderstanding. After today, the face of Wang Qini would vanish forever. When he returns, he’ll have someone concoct a story about Wang Qini saving innocent villagers only to die at the hands of a demon beast.
So that this way, if she ever came looking, she would definitely find no one.
Today can be a lovely memory for her, to save his former fiancée from a life of bitterness and hatred, allowing her to grow unhindered.
Fang Zhou continued strolling with Xiao Yan. Not even two hours had passed, and the sky hadn’t changed much; he believed Xiao Yan wouldn’t notice.
After receiving the flower, Xiao Yan became more taciturn, only occasionally sneaking glances at Fang Zhou.
When noon rolled around, Fang Zhou took Xiao Yan to taste some local delicacies, planning to take her to see a stage play in the afternoon. Today’s play was only featuring "Journey to the West".
"Legend of the White Snake" had been postponed as all three main actors were on strike.
Just as Fang Zhou brought Xiao Yan to the theater, a voice suddenly echoed from above.
"Getting tangled with another woman again?"
Upon hearing this voice, Fang Zhou froze, slowly raising his head.
Xuan Ling was sitting atop the theater, smiling down at Fang Zhou and Xiao Yan, but there wasn’t a trace of laughter in her eyes.
