Chapter 25: I'm serious!

  "Tang Xue, why aren't you resting in your room at this late hour? What are you doing sneaking out alone? The weather is cold and it's easy to catch a chill. Moreover, it's deep into the night and it's not safe outside."

  Ye Han turned around, looking at Tang Xue who was also wearing pajamas, and frowned, saying that in fact, he thought about it, catching a cold was a small problem. The tourists staying in the hotel in this scenic area came from all over the world, and there were all kinds of people. Tang Xue, such a delicate and weak girl, went out alone, with no guarantee of safety at all. If something happened, it would be really regrettable.

  "It's not obvious, but you're quite concerned about people!" Tang Xue sniffled and looked up at the starry night sky, sighing: "I've been cooped up in my room for most of the day, I'm almost suffocating. I came out to get some fresh air. What about you? You're not alone in running out either?"

  "I'm not used to sleeping outside, so I couldn't sleep and came out for a walk." Of course, Ye Han wouldn't say that he was going to run into the deep mountains and forests to practice the Yin-Yang Five Elements Technique, that would be too shocking.

  "Stand at the door for a while and then go back, don't run too far, be careful not to meet bad people!" With that, Ye Han turned around and continued on his way.

  Footsteps sounded behind, but it was Tang Xue who caught up, and she laughed and said: "Are there any bad guys? Where are they? Hehe, if the bad guy dares to bully me, that's Lao Shouxing hanging himself - I'm tired of living too long!"

  Little girl doesn't understand worldly affairs, doesn't know how treacherous the world is. By the time she suffers a loss, it will be too late!

  Ye Han sighed, turned around and looked at Tang Xue, just about to say a few words to her, when suddenly his heart moved, and he glanced sideways into the dark corners on both sides. He then smiled at Tang Xue and said: "I was wondering how you could be so bold, it turns out that you have bodyguards secretly protecting you. Haha, I was worried for nothing."

  Tang Xue blinked her eyes and looked around, saying in surprise: "How did you know someone was protecting me? They're all hiding very well!"

  Ye Han smiled silently, his soul had been reborn and his perception ability was already much stronger than ordinary people. With the cultivation of these days, there was already a presence of wood spirit energy in his body, making his senses doubly sensitive to external things. If he couldn't even sense the aura of an ordinary warrior, then he might as well go die by crashing into a wall.

  Tang Xue had someone protecting her, so Ye Han felt that his worries were unnecessary. He glanced at Tang Xue's curious face, waved his hand and turned to leave.

  Tang Xue pouted and made a face at Ye Han's back, then followed him again.

  "I said, what are you following me for?" Ye Han stopped in his tracks and asked without turning back, a hint of helplessness in his tone.

  Tang Xue's pair of bright and clear eyes shone like the stars in the night sky, as she gazed at Ye Han's elegant face. She lightly bit her pink cherry lips, and a hint of shyness actually appeared on her face, as she softly said: "Didn't you say... that you wanted me to be your girlfriend?"

  Ye Han had a bit of understanding of Tang Xue's personality, seeing her with a shy and evasive expression, couldn't guess what she was thinking in her heart, and smiled: "Didn't you already refuse?"

  Tang Xue sighed, "She's a girl, and you're not even close to her. You asked her to be your girlfriend in front of so many people... how could she possibly agree?"

  Ye Han burst out laughing and looked at her with great interest, saying: "So you've come to your senses now? Are you willing to agree?"

  Tang Xue said: "It's not that either. I just want to get in touch with you more, understand you a bit better, and if I think you're still okay, maybe I'll agree."

  Ye Han looked at her exquisite and unmatched face, thinking of her reputation as "Little Witch" in the No. 1 Middle School campus, couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.

  "What are you laughing at? I'm being serious!" Tang Xue said with a straight face, looking indeed very "serious".

  "You're serious, but I'm just joking!" Ye Han shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Although you look very pretty, a 15-year-old girl is too young for me. If it were your sister, then I might consider it."

  A man saying a girl is "too young" is just like a woman saying a man is "not good enough", it's very hurtful to one's self-esteem. Tang Xue subconsciously puffed out her chest and said in an indignant tone: "What do you mean I'm too small? Humph, let me tell you, I'm still growing and developing, and I'll get bigger and better in the future! And another thing, you always say I'm too young, but aren't you only fifteen years old yourself?"

  Ye Han had something on his mind and didn't have the leisure to fool around with Tang Xue anymore, so he turned around and quickly walked away. Tang Xue followed closely behind him, laughing, as if saying "wherever you go, I'll follow".

  Ye Han was a bit annoyed by her entanglement, and couldn't bear to scold such a pretty girl, so he sighed: "Tang Xue, I want to go over there for a walk, be alone for a while, can you not follow me?"

  Tang Xue raised her head and looked at the night sky, saying calmly: "Who's following you? This isn't your home, I can go wherever I want!"

  "You..." Ye Han was speechless, thinking that this little girl wasn't a "little witch" at all, but rather a little rascal!

  As he walked to the front of a small hill, the hotel lights could no longer shine here. Seeing Tang Xue still following him like a tail, Ye Han couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly turned his head, fiercely saying: "Little girl, if you follow me again, I won't be polite to you!"

  Although she couldn't see Ye Han's face clearly, but hearing his voice, it seemed that he was really angry. Tang Xue involuntarily shrunk her head, then thought of the two bodyguards sent by her family to protect her hiding in the dark, and her courage grew again. She straightened up her slender figure, puffed out her full chest towards Ye Han's face, and hummed: "Come on, you're not being polite to me! Think you can scare me? I'm not afraid!"

  She had barely finished speaking when Ye Han's hand shot out and grasped her left wrist firmly.

  Tang Xue let out a startled cry of "ahh" and felt her wrist being pinched hard by Ye Han, the pain almost bringing tears to her eyes.

  Tang Xue was born into a wealthy and noble family, from young to old, she only had the privilege of bullying others, who would dare to bully her? Feeling the pain transmitted from her wrist, and seeing the dark surroundings, Tang Xue finally felt a little scared, suddenly opening her mouth to shout loudly: "Help! Wang Shu, Li Shu, someone is bullying me!"

  Almost simultaneously with her cry for help, two figures flashed out of the darkness not far away, one on the left and one on the right, like a whirlwind rushing towards Ye Han. One of them turned his palm into a knife and cut towards Ye Han's arm that was holding Tang Xue, trying to force Ye Han to let go. The other person spread his ten fingers like an eagle's claw, displaying a grappling technique, directly grabbing towards the scapula on Ye Han's left side, attempting to subdue him in one move.
