104: Chapter 104, Prison Six: I'm so sorry I couldn't satisfy Miss Zhou Muxue's curiosity.

"Mu Xue was looking for you the moment she stepped onto the stage."

"However, she looked around for a long time but didn't see you. Besides, those with high rankings on the Heavenly Pride Ranking could not challenge those with lower rankings. Still, Mu Xue could sense that you had arrived; you were somewhere nearby."

"If you ask why Mu Xue was so sure, I can only explain it as a telepathic connection."

"After Mu Xue defeated eight challengers in a row, she still hadn't seen you appear, and she even felt a bit disappointed."

""Could I have sensed it wrong? Did Lin Heng actually not come?" Mu Xue swept her gaze across the audience again. There were too many people, and it was too chaotic. Moreover, with the Formation set up by the Tianji Pavilion, she could not use her Divine Sense."

"When you appeared on the arena, Mu Xue's heart skipped a beat."

"She held the lollipop she had been eating in her hand. A gentle breeze just happened to blow past her skirt, and she was reminded of the first time she met you. Her lips curled into a smile, her voice clear and slightly coquettish."

""Another challenger has arrived~""

"You couldn't help but smile as you looked at her."

""Your Highness!" A huge voice suddenly exploded on the stage, "Teach this person named Zhou Mu Xue a good lesson! Let them see who the true number one Prodigy is!""

"You looked in the direction of the sound. Venerable Li Kun was standing in the audience, dancing and gesturing, his old face flushed with excitement. "You guys who look down on others, just wait, I'll let you see what the number one Prodigy in the history of the Tianheng Continent is!""

"The surrounding audience's gazes were drawn to him, but upon seeing that the other party was an Integration Venerable, they swallowed the complaints that were on the tip of their tongues."

"Several Integration Venerables in the audience frowned, their gazes lingering on you."

""Is that one of your people?" Mu Xue looked at the gesticulating Venerable Li Kun, smiling."

""Although it's a bit embarrassing," you tried not to look at Venerable Li Kun's old face, "but yes, he is.""

""It seems you've been doing quite well these past few years." Like a kitten patrolling its territory, Mu Xue walked around you with her hands behind her back, her eyes looking you up and down. "An Integration Venerable even calls you Your Highness.""

"She stopped in front of you, tilting her head slightly, her tone almost overly calm. "Do you want me to concede later? After all, you are the number one Prodigy in the history of the Tianheng Continent — Mr. Lin Heng~""

"Although Mu Xue's tone was calm, you felt that the little kitten was angry. Oh no, it had been too long since you last saw the little kitten; you couldn't even tell if the other party was angry or not."

""Why, does Miss Mu Xue think she can beat me?" You looked at Mu Xue and said with a smile."

""What do you think?" Mu Xue looked confident."

""Then let's try it." You replied."

""Let's try it then!" Mu Xue said, putting the lollipop in her mouth and looking at you: "I am at the Void Return Realm, and you are at the Soul Transformation Realm. I'll let you make the first Move.""

"You didn't stand on ceremony."

"And then you moved."

""No way???" Mu Xue realized in an instant that the lollipop in her mouth was gone again?""

"She suddenly remembered that it was the same way you snatched the lollipop from her mouth back then. But back then, you were both in the Transcendent Realm (actually, you were a Martial God at the time), and now she is in the Void Return Realm, and you are only in the Soul Transformation Realm (actually, you have no idea how many Undergoing Tribulation layers of cultivation you have stacked). How was her candy snatched again?"

""Miss Zhou Mu Xue~" You waved the candy you had snatched in your hand: "Do you not want this?""

""Hmph." Mu Xue glanced at you and let out a cold hmph from her mouth: "I won't go easy on you this time. Get ready to defend, Mr. Lin Heng!""

"You felt that Mu Xue was angry. No, it wasn't a feeling; she really was angry. You were a bit puzzled. You hadn't done anything, so why did this little kitten get so bristly?"

"A girl's thoughts are truly hard to understand."

"Right, you were still holding the little kitten's candy in your hand."

""Do you still want this lollipop?" You looked at Mu Xue, who was bristling at you, and asked sincerely."

""You keep it yourself!" Mu Xue said as she launched an attack at you. At this moment, the sword Blue Snow that Mu Xue always carried was already in her hand. Besides that, another sword was flying around Mu Xue."

""Is that so." You casually dodged Mu Xue's sword Move and put the candy in your mouth."

""Hit you, hit you, hit you, hit you!!!!""

"Mu Xue felt something was very wrong. She was at the Void Return Realm, while you were only at the Soul Transformation Realm. She was a whole Realm higher than you, yet she couldn't even touch the corner of your clothes."

"And you, this guy, were actually leisurely putting the candy you just snatched from her into your mouth."

""Ahhhhh!""

"You felt that Mu Xue's Moves were already chaotic, but even if they weren't, they were like a child playing with a knife in front of you."

""Bang—" Your fingertips slightly flicked away Mu Xue's sword: "It's messy. There's no point in continuing to fight.""

"You said to the little kitten."

"The little kitten was still in a bristling state, looking at you somewhat angrily: "There was no point to begin with, right.""

"In front of you, Mu Xue also felt what those Prodigies who challenged her had felt."

""I'm sorry I couldn't satisfy Your Highness Lin Heng~" Mu Xue said as she walked to your side, snatched the lollipop from your mouth, and put it in her own."

"You didn't speak, just feeling the candy being snatched from your mouth."

"You also had some lollipops in your pocket. On the way here, you had shared them with Ye Shuanger. You had eaten those candies too, but none were as delicious as Mu Xue's."

"They were clearly just the most ordinary candies, but Mu Xue's candy was just that delicious. Why was that?"

"Could it be because it had Mu Xue's saliva on it?"

"You were still thinking about these things when Mu Xue patted you: "Everyone is watching you, what are you thinking about?""

"You came back to your senses. Mu Xue had already raised your clasped hands high."

"Her fingers were interlaced with yours, palm against palm, like holding up a flag. "Now you are the number one on the Heavenly Pride Ranking." She said."

"You glanced at the audience. There were no earth-shattering cheers; hundreds of thousands of spectators were mostly still immersed in shock—mouths agape, eyes wide, but unable to speak."

"On the Sword Sect's side, some Disciples were looking at you with burning anger."

"Did you defeat Mu Xue? That's right, Mu Xue was the proud daughter of heaven for the Sword Sect to begin with. Losing to a Soul Transformation Loose Cultivator, no one would be reconciled to that."

"Of course, it might also be jealousy over other things."

"You glanced at the burning gazes of those Sword Sect Disciples, then suddenly turned your head and gently kissed Mu Xue on the cheek."

"The fire in the eyes of the Sword Sect Disciples burned even brighter, but what did that have to do with you!!!"

"Venerable Li Kun alone in the audience was worth half the volume of the arena."

""Shout, keep shouting for me! I said from the beginning that the Tianji Pavilion made a mistake.""

""My Highness is invincible! That Mu Xue, she's not even worthy of carrying my Highness's shoes—""

"Then he saw you kiss Mu Xue."

"Venerable Li Kun's smile froze on his face, his waving arm stopped in mid-air, his mouth open, emitting an out-of-tune syllable."

"It's over, it's all over. Your Highness, why didn't you say so earlier."

"A day later, in the Sword Sect's lounge."

"Mu Xue was sitting on the edge of the bed with her long hair loose, the ends still slightly damp, as if she had just bathed."

"The spiritual light from outside the window spilled through the gauze curtains onto her plain white nightgown, staining the tiny wrinkles a very pale gold. She looked at you helplessly, moving the candy stick from the left side to the right, with a playful smile."

""Mr. Lin Heng, what should I say—should I call you a small fry, or trash?""

"You lay on the edge of the bed, burying your face in the quilt, your voice muffled."

""I am truly sorry that I could not satisfy Miss Zhou Mu Xue.""
