Chapter 385: Come on, I'll take responsibility for you

Watching Ye Zhangqing flee in disarray, Bai Hua Xianzi's eyes flickered with a hint of deep meaning.

Everyone had been waiting at the San Sheng Shi for about three Shíchén; and at this moment, not far away, in the forest spirit house.

Wang Tieshu changed into a brand-new patterned martial uniform, and casually tossed another set of clothes to Hong Zun, laughing.

Come on, I'll take responsibility for you.

Don't touch me.

As for Hong Zun, his eye sockets were red, his whole body curled up at the foot of the bed, as if he had suffered a great injustice, and he no longer bore any of his former vigor.

But Wang Tieshu didn't care at all, he forcibly pulled Hong Zun into an embrace, puckered his big mouth, and planted a kiss directly.

Come, give me a sniff.

Don't touch me, don't touch me!

I don't know if it was because he was stimulated, but Hong Zun momentarily forgot to resist, and was thus domineeringly held in Wang Tieshu's arms.

Alright, things have come to this, what's done is done—what more do you want? I said I'd take responsibility, be good, don't cry.

I will never forgive you.

Huh? Upon hearing that, Wang Tieshu's face darkened, and he immediately pounced like a hungry tiger.

After another Shíchén, this time Hong Zun really cried.

This iron-willed old man finally couldn't hold back at this moment; the grievance in his heart and the tears in his eyes burst forth uncontrollably.

This time, Hong Zun obediently put on his clothes; seeing this, Wang Tieshu nodded in satisfaction and gave him a smack on the butt.

Let's go, everyone's been waiting anxiously.

You............

Wahahahaha...........

The two walked out of the spirit house one after the other; one was beaming with delight.

The other was full of resentment, devoid of spirit.

After putting away the spirit house, Wang Tieshu led Hong Zun toward the San Sheng Shi.

Meanwhile, as dusk approached and Hong Zun still hadn't returned, Xu Jie couldn't help but speak up.

Goodness, Master has been taking too long—could he really be that vigorous?

Wayward disciple.

But as soon as his words fell, a roar of gnashing teeth came from behind; hearing it, Xu Jie startled, turned his head, and saw Hong Zun glaring at him with red eyes.

That gnashing sound could be heard even from far away.

Goosebumps rose on Xu Jie's skin; he instantly darted aside and hid behind Qing Shi.

Upon seeing Qing Shi, Shi Song and the others, Hong Zun also blazed with anger.

Why?

He immediately questioned; hearing this, Shi Song looked puzzled.

What do you mean 'why'?

Why didn't you come to save me?

He had just shouted his throat hoarse, and furthermore, with such a commotion, he didn't believe Shi Song and the others could have missed it.

Why, as fellow sect brothers, seeing him being so abused, why not step in to save him?

Upon hearing that, Shi Song gave Wang Tieshu a strange look, and Wang Tieshu also laughed and said.

Junior sister, greetings to senior brother.

He then pulled Hong Zun into an embrace and comforted him.

Alright, how can you speak to your senior brother like that?

You............

Hong Zun gritted his teeth, "If you have the ability, take off that Heaven-locking Net; I'll cleave you with one sword!"

From beginning to end, Hong Zun has been trapped by the Heaven-locking Net; there's nothing that can be done, of course, if Shi Song and the others were willing to act, he could still break free, it's just..........

Senior brother, please break this damned net.

Um, this is your couple's matter; we outsiders shouldn't interfere, right?

Yeah, it's not early either; let's go, heading back.

Shi Song, Qing Shi, Zhang Tianzhen and the others, muttering to themselves, turned and headed down the mountain.

This sight made Hong Zun furious and exasperated.

Come back, undo this damned net for me.

You guys have no loyalty, are you even fellow sect brothers? I'm going to tell the Senior Brother.

Damn, you're all pretending to be deaf and mute, huh?

Wayward disciple, where are you going?

Um, Master, we'll go back to cook first; you and the mistress take your time.

What mistress? Wayward disciple, what are you barking about?

Yes, yes, yes, tell the mistress, we'll leave first.

Wayward disciple, I won't let you off, wayward disciple!

Hong Zun was like a furious male lion, his eyes blood-red; "You bunch of traitors, you're all selling me out, right?"

In the midst of Hong Zun's unwilling roar, Wang Tieshu hoisted him onto his shoulder.

What are you doing?

We're going home, Brother Hong.

What home? I tell you, Wang Tieshu, this matter between us isn't over—you wait for me.

If you're capable, take away this lousy net—let us have a proper showdown.

Wang Tieshu, if you're able, take this broken net away.

No rush, it will naturally be taken when the time comes.

A group went down the mountain at an unhurried pace, but all day long in the affectionate mountains, an old man's angry shouts rang incessantly, and his indignation that reached the heavens could be heard from far away.

Also "an old man" is generic.

Moreover, while going down the mountain, upon encountering a Divine Sword Peak disciple who witnessed this scene, everyone would respectfully bow to Wang Tieshu and call out.

Master's wife.

This made Wang Tieshu happy; his smile never faded along the way, and he kept nodding.

Sigh.

As for Hong Zun, his veins bulged with anger.

What the hell are you yelling about? Who's the master's wife? I don't acknowledge it, this old man doesn't acknowledge it.

But the disciples had no intention of paying attention; after calling out 'master's wife,' they turned and ran.

Rebellious, rebellious! Are you lot trying to revolt? I am the Peak Master of Divine Sword Peak, you have no master's wife—what the hell are you yelling for?

As for those who don't know the inside story, for example, Xiuling and the other disciples from Withered Wood Hermitage.

Seeing Hong Zun being carried down the mountain by Wang Tieshu, Xiuling wondered.

Senior Hong, this is...............

Xiuling, save me, quickly go find your master.

Upon seeing Xiuling, Hong Zun shouted in haste, but this left her completely bewildered.

His gaze swept back and forth between Wang Tieshu and Hong Zun; seeing that, Hong Zun became anxious.

What are you standing there stupidly for? Go find your master, contact my senior brother, hurry!

As for Wang Tieshu, he couldn't care less; a little girl poses no threat.

Just as Xiuling didn't know what to do, a Divine Sword Peak disciple happened to pass by, saw Wang Tieshu, and immediately stepped forward and shouted.

Master's wife.

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Xiuling's eyes flashed with realization; it turns out Hong Zun's senior is his cultivation partner.

Seeing Xiuling's expression change, Hong Zun completely panicked and roared at that Divine Sword Peak disciple.

Where the hell did you get that master's wife from? Get lost—go as far away as you can.

Alright, Peak Master, you and the master's wife are chatting.

Damn it, stand still, I'll kill you.

Afterwards, no matter how Hong Zun shouted, Xiuling ignored him, respectfully bowed to Wang Tieshu, called him senior, then turned and left without looking back.

Watching her retreat, Hong Zun couldn't help but tear up again, while Wang Tieshu gently wiped away his tears and spoke affectionately.

Brother Hong, look—they all think highly of us; this is a match made in heaven.

Hmph, if you can solve this lousy net, I'll tell you what a true match made in heaven is.

Not yet.

You......... Wang Tieshu, you wait for me.

I've been waiting for Brother Hong all this time, for most of my life.
