Chapter 2292: Chapter 1964: Trouble

Song Yun laughed and said, "Absolute power, huh? Heh, just He Ting? He’s still way off."

"Song Yun, you’re way too arrogant. He Ting is at the Middle Stage of Enlightenment, while you’re only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. If you want to beat him, I’m afraid you won’t even get the chance."

Huang Shiyun shook her head, taking Song Yun’s words as a joke.

Song Yun curled his lips and said, "Hey, Shiyun, why are you boosting other people’s morale while killing your own?"

Huang Shiyun said, "I may hate He Ting, but what I said just now was just sticking to the facts. If you want to defeat He Ting, you at least need to reach the same realm as him."

Hearing this, Song Yun couldn’t help but laugh.

He had no idea how many enemies with higher realms than his had already died in his hands.

He Ting was just another one he didn’t take too seriously.

Maybe he couldn’t beat him now, but once he advanced to Late-stage Foundation Establishment, and then the peak, with his star energy, Eight Desolate Dominating Body, and Condensed Explosion Palm, he was absolutely confident he could leap realms to defeat He Ting.

Song Yun laughed and said, "Whether I can beat He Ting or not, just wait and see."

Huang Shiyun frowned slightly and tried to persuade him, "Song Yun, a person has to be down-to-earth. Even though you’ve obtained a bit of Master Hao Lan’s inheritance, you shouldn’t be this arrogant."

Being lectured by Huang Shiyun, Song Yun deliberately put on an unhappy face and said, "What, Shiyun, you don’t believe in me?"

Huang Shiyun thought he was angry and hurriedly explained, "It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just the way things are. He Ting’s realm really is much higher than yours."

Song Yun raised a brow and smiled. "Since that’s the case, how about we make a bet?"

Huang Shiyun quickly urged, "What are you trying to do? Don’t you dare do anything stupid like going to challenge He Ting. His temperament is vicious—if you challenge him, he’ll definitely kill you."

Song Yun said, "He Sui’s had a hard life. I don’t want her becoming He Ting’s concubine and being unhappy for the rest of her life. So this fight between me and He Ting is something that has to happen."

"Song Yun, why won’t you listen to reason?"

Huang Shiyun was anxious, stomping her foot in anger.

Song Yun chuckled, looking into Huang Shiyun’s beautiful eyes, and said, "Shiyun, if someone was forcing you to become a concubine, would you want me, as your friend, to cower before a strong enemy like a turtle hiding in its shell, or would you want me to stand up and fight for you?"

"This..."

Huang Shiyun couldn’t answer, but in her heart, she definitely hoped Song Yun would be willing to fight for her.

Song Yun didn’t wait for Huang Shiyun to speak further. He smiled calmly and said, "That’s why, sometimes, people clearly know something can’t be done, but they still insist on doing it—maybe they’ll actually succeed, right? Besides, even though He Ting is a genius, in my eyes, he’s nothing special."

Seeing Song Yun looking so full of confidence, Huang Shiyun suddenly felt a bit dazed.

In that moment, she felt that Song Yun, who was willing to risk a battle with He Ting for He Sui’s sake, was filled with manly charisma, heroic and extraordinary.

However, she didn’t want Song Yun going off to die, so she still persuaded, "Song Yun, He Ting is very strong. If you challenge him now, you’re sure to lose."

Song Yun rolled his eyes at Huang Shiyun and said with a smile, "I’m not stupid. Challenging him now would be courting death. At the very least, I’ll wait two or three months. I figure two or three months from now, He Ting still won’t have taken a principal wife, so he shouldn’t be forcing He Sui to be his concubine yet. We still have time."

Huang Shiyun’s lips twitched as she said, "Three months... In just three short months, no matter how incredible you are, you can’t possibly reach the Enlightenment Realm. How could you defeat He Ting?"

Song Yun laughed and said, "I already said, if you don’t believe me, then let’s make a bet, how about it?"

"No, I’m not betting." Huang Shiyun shook her head and said, "I’m not about to let you go off to die."

Song Yun lifted his brows. "Heh, you sure care about me."

"I...I do not."

Huang Shiyun hastily denied it, turning her back to Song Yun. Her pretty face was flushed bright red—clearly, she was shy.

Song Yun laughed and said, "Alright, Shiyun, I won’t tease you. I’ll definitely help He Sui out of this mess. Whether you believe it or not isn’t important. What matters is what I’m going to do."

"Song Yun, why are you so stubborn!" Huang Shiyun turned back around and said, "No way, I forbid you to go throw your life away."

Song Yun grinned wickedly and said, "You’re not my wife. What right do you have to forbid me?"

Huang Shiyun was so flustered her pretty face turned rosy, and she pouted her pink lips. "If I say no, it means no."

Song Yun said, "Didn’t you say He Sui is your good friend? Don’t you want to help her?"

Huang Shiyun said, "Of course I do, but we just don’t have the ability to help her."

Song Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly as he put away his smile and said solemnly, "Shiyun, believe me. I will definitely help He Sui solve this problem."

Seeing Song Yun’s determined gaze, Huang Shiyun didn’t rush to keep persuading him.

She pondered for a moment, then said, "I can believe you, but before you help He Sui, you have to let me see your strength. Otherwise, I won’t let you go."

Song Yun nodded. "Alright, three months. When the time comes, I’ll let you know just how strong I am."

"Three months is way too short."

Huang Shiyun frowned again, then continued, "Song Yun, if three months from now you have strength comparable to the Middle Stage of Enlightenment, then I’ll..."

Song Yun’s brow arched. "You’ll what?"

Huang Shiyun bit her lip, turned her face away, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, "Then I’ll give you a kiss."

"It’s a deal!"

Song Yun laughed heartily and turned to walk toward Huang Town.

Even after his figure disappeared, Huang Shiyun was still standing there in a daze, her gaze fixed in the direction he’d left.

For some reason, even though Song Yun was clearly going to help He Sui, Huang Shiyun realized she was starting to feel something for Song Yun.

In her heart, she wished so much that Song Yun would be willing to do the same—for her sake.

"Miss."
