Chapter 1065: Old Bastard

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Regarding Yin Ruobing, Jiang Yi was very conflicted. He would be lying if he said he didn’t like her. Every male would want such an astonishing beauty like her and would want to melt the ice within her heart, making her show her most radiant smile and her ecstasy-like feelings.
Yin Ruobing had feelings for Jiang Yi, was loyal to him, and had helped him before as well. It was a joy talking and spending time with her, too. While smelling the aroma she had, Jiang Yi could not help himself but have some fluttering thoughts. However, he suppressed such thoughts and forced himself not to think too much. This matter was very conflicting and painful.
Actually, Yin Ruobing had good feelings for Jiang Yi, too.
For ladies like herself born into rich and prestigious families, they have met many young masters from many famous clans since young. They have met many people who appeared upright, warm, kind and refreshing, but they were actually scheming and devious on the inside. These people were unscrupulous in attaining their objectives. Hence, ladies like herself naturally started to ostracize young masters like these and would ignore them.
Of course, these young masters would try to find all sorts of ways to get close to them, just like flies. These young masters would do things to get the ladies’ attention, which had the opposite effect as the ladies would lose interest in these men. People rarely treasured what they could have easily but always preferred what they could not get.
Many women were very despicable!
Having tasted the best delicacies there were, they actually preferred wild vegetables instead. Without a doubt, Jiang Yi was a very precious wild vegetable.
Young, secretive, single-handedly killing, and making a name for himself… three Heaven Paintings had added to his stature and allure. He did not fear the strong and powerful and dared to declare war on the North Thearch’s Wu Clan on his own. He eliminated five Demigods at the foot of Stupa Mountain, and in the Divine Sonar Valley just now, he even managed to get the Sonar Thearch to want to accept him as a disciple, just by blowing a leaf.
All of this just made Jiang Yi seemed like a poppy flower attracting Yin Ruobing. Once a woman was interested in a man, she would try to find out everything about him and subsequently continue to be mesmerized by him, be fully occupied by him.
Thankfully…
Yin Ruobing and Jiang Yi had the same dilemma. The two were suppressing their fluttering thoughts forcefully. The two knew deep down that there was no future for the two of them; this was their fate!
It didn’t matter if Yin Ruobing married Zhan Tianlei, and it didn’t matter if Jiang Yi had or hadn’t entered Sin Island. Just based on everything that Jiang Yi had done, the two could never end up together.
After the battle at Stupa Mountain, Jiang Yi had become the mortal enemy of the North Thearch’s Wu Clan. The Nine Thearch Clans were united as one; if Jiang Yi and Yin Ruobing got together, the Yin Clan had no choice but to be enemies with the North Thearch, as well as the She Clan, the Jian Clan, and many other clans as well. Would the Yin Clan put itself in jeopardy for one Jiang Yi?
Obviously not.
Hence, Jiang Yi and Yin Ruobing were both silent. It was becoming more and more awkward with the atmosphere becoming more romantic.
After five minutes, Jiang Yi became impatient. The awkwardness was making him uncomfortable. His eyes flashed as he thought of an idea. He turned and looked at Yin Ruobing, asking, “Lady Yin, can you help me with something?”
“Ah?”
Yin Ruobing was still caught up in the charming moment just now, and her face was slightly flushed. She saw Jiang Yi and immediately changed her expression. She said, “Please ask. If it’s not too much, I will help.”
“It’s a serious matter.”
Jiang Yi said seriously, “Do you know Li Hong? It seems like he is a relative of your family?”
Yin Ruobing regained her composure and asked suspiciously, “Yes, he is the elder cousin of my mother. I do call him Third Uncle. Has he ruffled your feathers?”
“Not exactly.”
Jiang Yi thought for a while and said strangely, “Have you heard about his character? Why does your clan allow a person like him to get his way doing whatever he likes? Will this not affect the clan’s reputation?”
“En, he is indeed an old bastard.”
Yin Ruobing was very direct. She laughed bitterly and said, “My mother’s father died when she was very young. Hence, she was given to her father’s cousin to be his daughter. That cousin was Li Hong’s father. Li Hong became something like a brother to her. When she was young, he took care of her. That’s why no matter how many harmful and devious things Li Hong does—when things go wrong, he will come and beg my mother. My mother’s heart will soften, and so Majesty Father would not say much either.”
“I see.”
Jiang Yi finally understood. He was a little embarrassed as he asked, “The situation is like this. The Tang Clan has two ladies that I was acquainted with before. This time, I met them while onboard a Heaven Fate Ship. Li Hong had taken a fancy to both of them and had used a hundred Crippled Heaven Bamboo to exchange for the two. The two ladies got wind of this and refused to obey. They were then beaten by the housekeepers of the Tang Clan.
“If I hadn’t encountered this matter, I would not have intervened. Since I had… I can’t possibly stand by idle and watch the two get sent to their deaths. Initially, I wanted to snatch them and rescue them. However, since you have come today, could you help me think of any other solutions? If I offend the Li Clan, it would be akin to becoming enemies with the Yin Clan.”
“Two ladies?”
Yin Ruobing’s expression became slightly unnatural. She turned coy and asked, “The two must be very pretty, right?”
“…”
Jiang Yi had nothing to say. Women were indeed amazing creatures. He had explained so much to her, but she had not asked anything about the situation. Instead, she cared if the two ladies were pretty? Couldn’t Jiang Yi just purely do a good thing for once? Must he only act when the person was pretty?
“So-so. Not as pretty as you!”
Seeing Yin Ruobing looking at him, Jiang Yi casually added, “So are you going to help? If you don’t help, I have no choice but to abduct them. If—at that point in time—Li Hong crosses me, I might just kill him; and you can’t blame me.”
“Don’t.”
After hearing the words ‘not as pretty as you’, Yin Ruobing’s eyes lit up. She waved her hand without care and said, “I will. It’s only two people, right? Once we return, I’ll ask for them and then give them to you. Li Hong will not dare to go against me. You need to remember not to kill him; if not, my mother will be upset. If that happens, we will have no choice but to send troops after you.”
“Okay. Many thanks to Lady Yin.”
Jiang Yi breathed out heavily. Now that this matter was settled, he was much more at ease. Jiang Yi paused for a while and said, “Ask your mother to rein in this old sex fiend; if not, even if I don’t kill him—sooner or later, someone will. He is already so old; he can still function sexually?”
“Bah!”
Yin Ruobing’s face became dark as she turned and ignored Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi’s uncouth words were becoming even more disrespectful. After all, Yin Ruobing was a lady of one of the most esteemed and respectable clans. She was also still an unmarried virgin; Jiang Yi’s words were too much.
Cough, cough.
Jiang Yi had noticed as well. His face turned red as he scratched his nose. “I have misspoken. Please do not be angry, old one.”
“Who is old? You are older and more stupid!”
Yin Ruobing angrily looked at Jiang Yi. That fierce look resembled a lioness with sharp teeth and claws.
Jiang Yi smiled bitterly and hurriedly said, “Alright, alright. I’m the old one; I’m fifty years old. I’m an old man. You are sixteen, in your prime, still budding, as beautiful as a fairy… a sacred lady descending onto this earth. Does that satisfy you?”
“Pfff…”
Yin Ruobing was extremely pleased with Jiang Yi’s flattery. However, she thought about it for a while and then felt a sense of distaste again. She raised her small fists and punched Jiang Yi, saying angrily, “You are taking advantage of me. If you’re fifty, and I’m sixteen; what should I call you?”
Her small fists hit Jiang Yi, and both of their bodies shivered. They were both dazed.
Jiang Yi was captivated by Yin Ruobing’s shyness while Yin Ruobing was startled as well. Her mannerisms just now, on some level, resembled that of the flirting between couples.
