Chapter 20 A Cliched Scene
"Ouch,"
A painful grunt of Ningxue's was heard.
She did try to enter the portal, but every time she was blocked by a transparent wall.
The first time, she thought it was an illusion, but now for the third time, she is sure there is a transparent wall blocking her.
"What does this mean?" she asked Xia Tian who was enjoying the scene in front of him.
He smirked.
"Women, do you really think the plot will move as you want?"
" _ "
Ningxue was speechless.
He is too shameless, even more than in the past.
Wasn't he the one who asked her wish?
And now he is also the one who is denying it?
If he never intended for it... Why raise her expectations?
Xia Tian however has his thoughts.
Raising people's expectations and then shattering them is just another kind of fun for him.
As for why he saved her?
Because he doesn't want her to die.
He has got his favorite toy after this long, whether it was because of an external party interference or not, this doesn't matter.
He would play with this toy, and not get played by it.
Toys are meant to be played with and not get played by.
"You can go in that portal," The moment Xia Tian said this, another portal appeared next to her.
"It is for reincarnation, it will send you back in time anywhere till one billion years before, now walk in."
Xia Tian explained to a woman fuming with anger.
Shui Ningxue was angry.
Why make her act so emotional before?
This must be this guy's plan from the beginning!!
He was playing with her.
Nevertheless, she knew that she does not have a choice.
With quiet steps, she walked in front of the second portal.
Inwardly, she was shocked at the void realm cultivator's powers.
Sending her back in time to the reincarnation cycle!?
Wasn't that too much!!
She wasn't aware Xia Tian was not just a void realm cultivator.
He was a god.
If the timeline before 1 billion years wasn't locked, he would be able to send her anywhere in time.
For now, he would just randomly send her to any time in between the previous one billion years.
"Will I have my memories?" Ningxue asked.
Xia Tian, "No"
Hearing this, Ningxue smiled, she can still gain something out of it.
She adjusted her expression, making her look as innocent as she can.
In her mind, she knew it won't help him trick her, but trying never hurt.
Ningxue pouted and spoke with a gentle tone. "It will be the third time now, so... Does it mean I will have a proper first night?"
Yes, this is what she was concerned about.
As a woman, she had a lot of expectations about her first time.
Unfortunately, she had lost her virginity two times, but both times experience was anything but pleasant.
She is not asking Xia Tian to be completely lovey-dovey with her, but just asking to act a little considerate for her first night, after that she doesn't mind being abused by him.
Her expectant eyes met Xia Tian, who in turn smiled, instead of replying.
His looks were enough to answer her.
It was, "Walk in and you will find out."
The corner of Ningxue's mouth twitched in annoyance.
She wasn't going to have her memories.
Can't he just answer her?
In the end, she can't help but ask.
"Would this portal be able to save me, if I beat you and try to run past inside it as fast as possible?"
She said and her expectant eyes gazed at Xia Tian's figure, waiting for his answer.
Xia Tian who heard her wasn't angry that she was asking to beat him.
She was a coward, in reality, she can never do it.
Women who are extremely innocent and cowardly like her become one of the worst manipulators.
They are cowards, so they fear other people, but the son of destiny naturally becomes a coward in front of these types of women.
So when women like her found such a strong man like the son of destiny bending to their wishes, they can't help but feel satisfied.
They would become addicted to that feeling.
All they had to do is act cute and innocent and people will comply with any of their wishes.
It does not mean Shui Ningxue's earlier words about liking Xia Tian were wrong.
But as women's natural psychology they want a higher ground in a relationship.
Most men aren't even aware, of how women get a higher ground without even them knowing.
Before they can become aware of it, they would become a woman's slave and apologize to her for every mistake, even for the mistakes for which they are not at fault.
For outsiders, this is a patriarchal society, but throughout history, it was the women's pulling the strings from behind and manipulating the men.
Xia Tian currently has a pondering expression as if thinking deeply about Ningxue's words.
In the end, he opened his mouth and spoke.
"You will die the moment your fist lands on me."
Ningxue who heard his answer nodded.
She calmly walked passed the portal without asking a single question.
Although, death was the original result that she wanted, but the 'death' word currently in Xia Tian's mouth must have a completely different meaning.
She was curious, about what the death word spoken by Xia Tian meant, but she dared not to explore.
She obediently entered the portal and this time disappeared for real.
As for whether she would ever receive her proper first night or not ...
Only time would tell.
....
Inside Xia Shuiyao's room.
The morning sun shone, the room was empty, and no one was there.
The barrier created by Xia Tian and Nyx was special, people can go outside but not inside.
Xia Shuiyao woke up and found herself in her room yesterday night, there was not much to do, so she got to sleep.
As for Xia Tian, she wasn't worried in the least.
That guy is beyond common sense.
Xia Shuiyao woke up in the early morning.
She got outside the room and met Nyx, she tried holding a conversation with her, which opened her eyes and let Xia Shuiyao see the world in a new light.
Previously Xia Shuiyao thought she was cold and indifferent, but meeting Nyx changed her very perspective.
That woman is terrible!!
When Xia Shuiyao tried holding a conversation with her she was naturally ignored by Nyx.
Unable to keep her pride intact, Xia Shuiyao made an idiotic move and tried to touch her.
The moment her hands made contact with Nyx's body, she was blasted away by her aura.
And before Xia Shuiyao can utter a single word her mouth was shut open by Nyx's gaze.
Those pitch-black eyes reflected a single word ... Death.
Unlike Xia Tian who likes to play with people rather than kill them, Nyx outrights prefer killing them.
If not for the fact Xia Shuiyao was his toy, she would die without a warning.
Nyx doesn't like her body being touched by anyone whether men or women.
There is only one exception, and that is Xia Tian... And whether he was male, female or non-binary she wouldn't care ...
Though she would prefer if he keep that thing below him.
Currently, Xia Shuiyao was making tea for herself.
That should be the work of her maidservant, but all of her three servants are dead.
Thanks to Xia Tian.
So, today she was forced to come out of her room and prepare tea for herself.
After preparing the tea, she ignored Nyx who was standing in front of her bedroom like a guard and sat down on one of the chairs, placing the teacup on the stone table.
"Oh, Thank you."
"!!"
Her teacup was stolen by someone, Xia Shuiyao immediately got alert and instantly turned back.
What greeted her was a handsome face of a man who was sipping her tea leisurely.
From the moment Xia Shuiyao put her hate aside and accepted her identity as a toy, she realized Xia Tian indeed looks better than all the men she has seen all date.
It does not matter how many times she looked at him, every time she would find him more attractive than the last time.
But seeing her hard-made tea being sipped by him,
Xia Shuiyao was a little angry.
She can make him another if he asked, but why stole hers?
"That was my tea ... mmm... Never mind, you can have it."
Her words were changed in between, she had already made her decision to follow him.
This man would definitely annoy her more in the future...
She can't change him, the only way to be with him is to grow more patience.
Her cold voice was heard in Xia Tian's ears, who completely ignored it.
He pulled another chair and sat next to her.
Instantly, one of his hands moved, and he grabbed the slender waist of Xia Shuiyao, pulling her closer so that her body was leaning on him.
Xia Shuiyao creased her brows, they were currently in the open, so other people can see them, but seeing Xia Tian's carefree expression, she did not express her displeasure.
She wasn't treated as badly as Shui Ningxue, so the repulsion against Xia Tian wasn't much in Shuiyao's mind.
Actually, no girl is treated badly like Ningxue by Xia Tian... Ningxue is a special case.
When they were both busy in their own world.
Another girl was walking towards this place, followed by a boy.
The girl was Xia Ying and the boy was Xia Chen.
When both arrived at the scene, their feet were frozen.
Xia Ying was shocked to see that cold woman acting so tamed.
As a fangirl, she can't help but admire Xia Tian's ability.
Her man even tamed the cold goddess of the Xia family.
As for Xia Chen, he was shocked after seeing Nyx, her beauty was otherworldly, better than any of the immortal women he has seen in his previous life.
But it wasn't enough to freeze him in his tracks.
What surprised him was that his soul sense failed!!
It was the second time, he failed.
First was Evelynn and now this!!
How so many monsters are residing in this mortal world??
His soul sense was so powerful that it can even look through a divine overlord, the only exception he ever found was the divine emperor.
But now, in this mortal world, he had already encountered two more people who can invade his soul sense.
The surprising thing is both monsters are somewhat related to this Xia Tian.
Sigh, it's unfortunate he can not act against him, his sister madly likes him.
Of course, Xia Chen would never accept that he was scared of Xia Tian after the last encounter.
As for Xia Shuiyao behaving intimately with Xia Tian, it is none of his matter, he liked that woman a bit, but he does not like forcing women, if they already have someone whom they like, he would calmly back away.
Both arrived in front of them.
"Brother Tian, it is time to go."
It was Xia Ying who spoke first.
Xia Shuiyao panicked seeing Xia Chen and Xia Ying arriving all of a sudden, she instinctively tried to get up, only to find herself glued to the chair.
However, Xia Ying's reaction was different.
She glanced at Xia Shuiyao, who in turn looked at her.
The meaning of Xia Ying's gaze was simple, "You cold women? What happened to your coldness? Now acting all tamed, Huh?"
Xia Shuiyao noticed her gaze and turned her head to another side.
She won't go bicker with her junior, especially when the person in question is the official fiancee of the man in whose arms she is sitting.
Her gesture wasn't gone unnoticed by Xia Ying, to further tease her, she placed Xia Tian's free arm to the side, sat on his lap, and made him hold by her waist.
Xia Chen felt like a third wheel.
Should he leave and come back later?
As for these two women who were fighting, they shivered simultaneously.
Both turned around at the same time.
What greeted them was Xia Tian's smiling face, but there was someone wrong with it.
Today, these women shall learn a lesson.
When two women fight over a man, it is always the man who wins in the end.
...
[A/N: Tell me what do you want to do with Shui Ningxue's fate?
Should she get tortured for her third time as well, or should Xia Tian grant her wish of having a proper first night?
Answer what your heart desires.
Shui Ningxue was a small experiment by me. I build this whole set up for this experiment, I want see what people will choose.
Do every human really has a dark side?
As for result, don't worry, she would appear again in Immortal realm which will come much later in story. ]
