Huang Yin is one step ahead of Xu An

After a long silence, Xu An abruptly laughed. He laughed as if he had just watched a good show of a clown.

Chin Sha lost his smile as he stared at Xu An weirdly.

Why is this kid suddenly laughing?

Xu An stopped laughing and said with a smile, "Interesting! Alright then, our Death Rush is set in seven days!"

His voice rang out to the entire pub. The floor vibrated, and everyone's heart thumped once more.

"Yoooosha!"

"Seven days! Death Rush in the Tower of God in seven days! This is going to be a piece of big news in the capital! No, in the entire empire!"

After that, some people rushed out of the pub and excitedly spread the news by shouting.

One guy with an ordinary robe and average look shouted, "everyone! Listen! There will be a Death Rush in the Tower of God! It will happen in seven days!"

The crowds which were idly walking caught the words. They immediately stopped.

A bright smile plastered on their faces, excited screams spread in the air.

Their voices could be heard even to the pub in a muffled way.

Upon their screams, Huang Yin couldn't help but ponder, "why are they excited like there's a festival? Someone is going to die!" His voice had displeased and hatred to it.

"You can't blame them, Huang Yin. In the capital, Death Rush isn't something you see every day. Let alone a fight between a Grand Noble and a commoner," Harry explained slowly, evidently understanding what the bumpkin boy was feeling.

Huang Yin didn't utter anything. Instead, he retracted his gaze to Xu An. He's smiling with determined eyes.

"Why is he smiling?" Huang Yin asked himself in shock.

[Morgiana, don't worry. I'll figure a way out,] said Xu An through qi telepathy.

Morgiana wanted to express her doubts, but upon Xu An's a determined gaze and his fearless smile. The doubt in her heart dissipated.

Morgiana always saw the usual Xu An. She thought that he was like any other guy, albeit a bit weird and when she saw him acting differently for the first time.

That wasn't because someone else possessed him, or he changed overnight. It was because this side of him was rarely shown.

The reason why it was hidden was as clear as day! Idiots could realize it, even.

She then said inwardly with a smile, so that's how it is.

"Let's go, Chin Sha, Flare. I've lost my appetite," said the Grand Noble as he turned his body to the door and exited the pub.

"Yes." Chin Sha and Flare simultaneously followed his actions. The woman followed closely behind Flare like a chick following its mother.

As they walked, the military man, Flare, whispered to the Grand Noble, "Lord Gako, our next destination is the emperor's palace."

"We're not going to visit the number one beauty in the capital?" Gako asked, a bit unpleased.

"Sir, I'm sorry but she just married. We cannot disturb her rest," replied Flare politely.

"What?" The Grand Noble was so shocked that his eyes were wide open and mouth agape.

His voice was likewise loud. The crowds on the street who were walking halted their pace and looked at Gako strangely.

But when they noticed his white, luxurious robe with a peculiar symbol of a sword facing downward with its hilt shot up to the sky. Behind it was a shield with sharp edges on both sides, they immediately turned their heads.

The symbol reflexively struck everyone's heart with fear and respect as it gave out an intimidating and noble air.

After seeing that Chin Sha and his group had vanished from his view, Xu An dropped to his knees as he weakly sat on the floor.

He felt the adrenaline pumping all this time had lost its effect. This results in his body going limp and weak.

His breath was hasty and heavy.

"Xu An! Are you okay?" Morgiana asked worriedly.

"Don't look at me as if I'm going to die. I'm going to recuperate for a moment," Xu An said as he sat in a lotus position and closed his eyes.

Although he was not injured physically, it wasn't hurt to check his body thoroughly. Curses or the like were effortless to be done, after all. Especially with Chin Sha, a wanted explorer like him might master one or two curse techniques.

As he recuperated, the crowds dispersed as they left the pub. What's the purpose of lingering here any longer? 

The pub was a mess, nowhere to sit as most tables and chairs were scattered on the ground due to being blown away by the strong gust of the wind.

After most people left, Huang Yin and Ferisha were the only ones who remained. 

Harry had already left after he gave Huang Yin his address.

"Is he okay?" Huang Yin asked as he looked at Xu An. The latter closed his eyes, seemingly separating himself from the mortal world.

"I'm not sure, but if he said he's okay, then I have nothing to worry about." She smiled. "What's your name?" She asked. She felt nothing strange a boy approaching them out of worry. That's the nature of a kid.

"Huang Yin," he quickly replied.

Morgiana instinctively frowned, "Huang Yin? I feel like I've heard that name before, but where do I hear it?" She tapped her chin a few times as she pondered..

.

"Who's his name? Who is the lucky bastard marries the number one beauty in the capital? Is he the young master of the Xu clan? The emperor's crown prince? Tell me, Flare!" He leaned his face closer to Flare. As he spoke in urgency, saliva spat out. 

Flare calmly cleaned the disgusting liquid on his face with his sleeve and replied, "It's a nameless nobody whom she picked from a remote place. He appeared to be a kid, but he's from a race that had a long life span and is long gone from the world. He perhaps the last of his kin.

"His name is Huang Yin, a boy but in truth a grown man in his twenties."

.

.

"It's him, Morgiana. The lucky devil in town," said Ferisha under her breath.

"It"s You! The husband of the number one beauty in the capital! Huang Yin!" Morgiana exclaimed in shock as she remembered the name thanks to Ferisha.

"But you really are what the rumors said, with the body of an eight-year-old kid, but you're actually a grown man, is what I like to say, but you're no different from a normal kid!"

The way he behaved was no different than a child. If not for Morgiana was aware of Huang Yin's actual age, she wouldn't believe he was a grown man but a kid.

"Ahaha… you're not going to ask why I pretend to like a clueless kid?"

"That's not important. Everyone has unique traits. Speaking of which, what are you doing here? Isn't your marriage just ended this evening? I thought every man is looking forward to their first night?"

Huang Yin laughed awkwardly, "As the talented genius in her sect, she always spent her time taking care of the sect and cultivating."

With her time consumed doing that, she didn't have the time to rest, let alone sleep with her husband.

"Ah, so that's how it is. But why are you here? If you want to spend time to quench your boredom, why not go to a brothel or casino? With the wealth of her sect, you don't have to worry about losing money."

"I'm not falling so low as to use my wife's money!" He retorted.

Morgiana giggled. Even though Huang Yin was a grown man, seeing a kid mad at her was adorable. Morgiana subconsciously pinched his cheek.

"Hwei, whawt awru dwoing?"

Morgiana hurriedly retracted her hand, "Sorry, you're just adorable that I couldn't help it," she smiled.

Her smile captivated him. Even though her beauty was slightly inferior to his wife's, it couldn't be denied that Morgiana's face was enough to topple a city.

If his wife was like an immortal fairy that didn't consume the food of the mortal, then Morgiana would make a person's heart and soul quiver.

"Be my concubine, Morgiana."

"Excuse me?"
