Title: Xin's Hesitation
....
"Ban, can he really make the Celestial Lodge hand you over?" Shun felt the warmth of her body leaning against him as he asked in a gentle tone.
"Mhm, we are all lowly beings in the lodge's eyes." Xin's smile was extremely moving, capable of causing one's heart to break.
"However if Ban really wants to do so, he will have to pay a very heavy price. And if I die, he would surely feel pain in his heart. To him, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses. Maybe he is only casually making a threat.
"If you are willing to, what price must I pay before I can bring you away?" Shun asked.
Xin stared at Shun with her beautiful eyes as a bright smile appeared on her face. "Sir Shun, are you teasing me?"
"Do I look like I'm teasing you?" Shun asked.
"If Sir Shun is willing to take me as a concubine, I may consider Sir Shun's offer. But Sir Shun has already made things clear earlier, what do you expect me to do."
"Answer my question first." Shun spoke.
"Those who come to the Celestial Lodge naturally know of its rule. Sir Shun is brought here by Sir Ye, and you might not know of this. If the two parties are in love with each other, they can enter the rear and enjoy the pleasures of flesh. After that, the lodge would list out a request to the man. This request might be for some treasures on his body, or a he needs to accomplish something, or owe the lodge a favor, etc. In addition, he must have the capabilities to accomplish that."
Xin laughed, "But if the man is able to do it but is unwilling to, he shouldn't think about these things."
"No wonder the entry criteria is so strict, only allowing those on the Devil and Devil King Rankings. The lodge must have already investigated all their customers fully, knowing what they are capable of doing." Shun nodded. "However, the lodge knows nothing about me."
"Sir Ye said that he is your guarantor." Xin smiled. Shun froze for a moment, this Zimo really put in a lot of effort, This means that if Xin fell for him, he and her could enjoy the pleasures of the flesh but the price would be paid by Zimo.
This Zimo could be considered to have really spared no expenses just to be acquainted with him.
"In that case are you willing to leave with me?" Shun asked Xin.
"Sir Shun…" Xin's beautiful eyes were filled with perplexity.
"I won't marry you, but there's no need for you to give yourself to me either. If you feel that you owe me, you can follow me and be a my maid for a few years. How about that?" Shun smiled.
Xin didn't expect that Shun would say such a thing. There never has been someone like Shun who made such a strange request to her. After all, everyone came to the Celestial Lodge for either beauties or to gain the benefits of the Mercury Lady Art from them. However, Shun didn't want that.
A few years to those above the chakra sea level, was in truth, a very short amount of time. She didn't understand the purpose behind his actions.
"Sir Shun, can you allow Xin consider it?" Xin stared at Shun as she spoke.
"This is the first time we meet, I understand that it's not easy to have true trust, especially so under such circumstances. Also for you Xin, you have two precious things which men would definitely want - your beauty and your chakra." Shun smiled and shook his head, placing down his cup.
"Sir, Xin didn't mean it that way." Xin spoke gently. However, she knew that she was just saying for the sake of saying that. How could she fool Shun.
Naturally, Shun didn't mind as well. He understood that it was very tough for someone in her position to trust a man she just met.
"Don't worry about it." Shun laughed, quietly enjoying the beauty of the dance. Although the temptation was huge, his endurance was strong enough and he wouldn't be moved so easily.
Xin also fell silent, quietly pouring for Shun.
The dance gradually stopped as the mist dissipated. The people in the pavillions still remained, as though they were completely immersed in that earlier experience.
However, no one was still able to move the heart of a lady from the lodge. It wouldn't be so easy to obtain the heart of one of them unless you were one of those true peak supreme elites that could shake the entire island with your talent.
"Shun, how do you feel? Is lady Xin good?" Zimo glanced towards the pavilion Shun was in, only to see him having his arm around Xin's waist, as though in a state of enjoyment.
"Lady Xin is an excellent companion." Shun smiled.
"Do you want to stay a little while more to enjoy the music?" Zimo laughed.
"Zimo, there are still people waiting for their turns outside. Let's leave now." Shun smiled and shook his head. Zimo also frowned when he thought back to Ban. After that he nodded in agreement, "Alright."
As he spoke, Zimo stood up. Da naturally also stood up. The others all had expressions of interest on their faces when they saw this.
They then spoke to the ladies accompanying them, "We will come and visit you girls again in the future."
Evidently, they knew that there would soon be a drama to watch outside the Celestial Lodge and clearly, they were extremely interested in it.
"Lady Xin, farewell." Shun nodded to Xin after which, his silhouette flashed as he moved towards the exit. Xin had a strange expression on her face when she saw Shun walking away.
Her silhouette flashed and she spoke, "Sir Shhn, please allow me to send you off."
"Hahaha, being able to make lady Xin personally send you off, Brother Shun has already won a victory over Ban. Truly, Brother Shun is an extraordinary individual." Zimo glanced at Xin as he laughed.
Shun didn't say anything much. Xin gently leaned against him and walked together with him to the exit. And as expected, in the air space outside of the lodge, Ban was waiting there.
"Sir Qin." Xin called out. Shun turned his head over and smiled, "Lady Xin?"
"Sir Shun, would you come by here again?" Xin asked in a gentle tone. For the conversation they had earlier, she faintly sensed that she just lost something.
She truly had no way to see through Shhn. Even Zimo was so polite towards him, who was he exactly?
"Maybe, maybe not. It depends." Shun nodded to Xin as he turned and continued walking out. Many people in the lodge cast a deep glance at Xin when they heard that, even for the other ladies of the lodge.
"Just interacting once and your heart stirred? Who is this man?" The lady who accompanied Da earlier asked.
"I'm not sure." Xin shook her head lightly.
"I also can't see through Sir Da. However, it seems that he is very respectful of your Sir Shun." That lady laughed, staring ahead. Da was always behind Shun, he seemed to be just a mere subordinate.
An uncomfortable feeling begin to surface in her heart. Those she waited on and accompanied, were all geniuses on the Devil Rankings. A subordinate usually wouldn't even be able to enter the Celestial Lodge.
"It seems so indeed." Xin agreed.
"I don't understand. Xin, you didn't have such an attitude when you were with Ban those few times before. To think that you actually took the initiative to ask if he would come back. You should very well know of Ban's status and background on the island." The lady beside her spoke in a low voice.
Xin's beautiful eyes flashed. Some things, were unable to be explained clearly. Even she herself had no idea why this was so.
It was just that when she interacted with Shun earlier, she could sense that he was really an extremely special type of person.
As to why she asked him that, could it be that she didn't know how to answer him today and wanted him to come back here again before she told him of her decision?
Shun and Zimo already came in contact with Ban. At this moment, Ban slowly turned over, his gaze landing on Shun as he smiled coldly, "I thought you would hide in there forever. Seems like you already understand that fleeing is useless."
"Fleeing?" Shun smiled and shook his head.
"Earlier, you compared me to a wild beast. In that case, you can act like one and crawl underneath my crotch. If you do that, maybe I will not kill you." Ban spoke in a domineering voice.
"Ban, you are too insolent." Zimo coldly spoke.
"BOOM!"
At the same time, a loud noise rang out. Da already walked out, causing the ground to shake. A mighty battle aura gushed forth from him as he appeared before Ban, punching out with a fist.
"RUMBLE!"
A violent devilish might exuded from Ban, like the tyrant of a generation. He lifted his fist and clashed head-on with Da. At the instant their fists met, a terrifying wind rose up, shaking the space as cracks appeared on the ground all around them.
Da roared, blasting out with both palms that contained enough force to shatter mountains.
Ban frowned, the attack of this man was actually so violent. The devil might from him congregated into a windstorm and gusted forth.
The blood and bones within Da's body began to radiate a boundless physical might. In addition, the energy which erupted forth from Da, was actually devil energy, not chakra energy or essence energy.
In an instant, rumbling sounds filled the air as cracks frenziedly appeared on the surface of the ground, causing clouds of dust to form. Although the two of them had not yet unleashed the domain they had, in their current states they were sufficient to cause the hearts of those spectating to tremble.
As for the lady from the lodge which accompanied Da earlier, her gaze froze there as she stared unblinkingly at the battle.
Xin's beautiful eyes were also widened with surprise. She only saw Shun quietly standing there, while both Ban and Da mutually retreated, floating in the air.
Da then spoke, "Trying to insult my Lord? Are you even worthy? Fuck off."
A violent devilish might gushed forth from Ban as energy circulated around him, forming a domain of sorts, causing his aura to grow even more tyrannical.
"Ban, I've already said it earlier, both Shun and Da are more outstanding than me. If you wish to fight, you naturally would have a chance to do so at the celebration of the emperor. There's no need for you to act so imposingly here, you better wise up." Zimo calmly spoke. Many people silently mused that it seems like Zimo's earlier words weren't false. But how strong were these two exactly?
Da was already so terrifying, and he addressed Shun as his lord?
"Who is he??" The lady who accompanied Da, asked Xin again.
"No idea." Xin shook her head. She could feel that Shun was different compared to many others, but as to what was different about him, she had no idea. She also didn't know what sort of person he was exactly.
