Ren Ye overheard a knocking on the door and immediately stood up from his seat, Wu Qi's eyes followed him, and opened his mouth with a slightly frightened face,
"I think that's my wi-"
Suddenly, the door burst open and was hammed ruthlessly against the wall, causing Ren Ye's hair to stand up and trembled from the sudden show of force.
"WU QI!" free(w)ebnov(e)l
A hoarse yet feminine voice resounded noisily into everyone's ears as a curvy woman appeared at the front door with both of her arms on her lips, glaring furiously at the man sitting next to Ren Ye with an ugly expression.
"I TOLD YOU TO TAKE THE TRASH OUT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" freew ebnovel.com
The woman had a slim and petite body with a fierce face, resembling a beautiful fox. Her eyebrows were shaped thinly and the shape of her eyes were slanted and shaped like a fox. She wasn't the delicate type Ren Ye liked but the fiery type of woman who dares speak her mind independently.
The woman was none other than Wu Qi's wife, Zheng Ai.
Wu Qi's mouth twitched with a frightened expression as he stood up and tried to calm her down using a soothing tone,
"Honey, I-"
The woman threw one of her flip-flops at Wu Qi's face as it hit his face and caused him to wince and take a couple of steps backward.
Ren Ye stood there with an indifferent expression as he glanced at her silently and thought inside his head,
'Is this a case of domestic abuse but one where the wife abuses the husband instead of the typical way?'
Wu Qi couldn't help but sniffle with a sad expression, he approached the woman and bowed his head obediently, Ren Ye's face gradually turned dark with a weird curl of his lips.
'Why do I feel like he blatantly enjoys it?'
The woman's face immediately relaxed but the angry frown remained on her face as she couldn't help but glance toward Ren Ye. For unknown reasons, she could feel a fire flaring inside her head and made her want to go slap the man for no reason.
Simultaneously, Ren Ye felt his body grow increasingly cold and his eyes instinctively became even colder.
Despite knowing each other in the past and getting along, the both of them felt their attitude toward each other become intensely hostile.
Ren Ye pursed his lips and didn't speak, looking at her with an extremely cold expression; almost silently provoking her.
Zheng Ai gritted her teeth at him and glanced the other way, holding back the barging anger in her and causing the tension in the room to be extremely tense.
Wu Qi rubbed his red face and couldn't help but notice the atmosphere in the air, casually glancing between them back and forth.
"Are you guys okay?"
"I think she should pay for the damaged door," Ren Ye pursed his lips into straight lines and ignored his question, his words came out a lot more ruthless than he intended them to be.
Having descended from a line of powerful business owners in the capital, Zheng Ai couldn't help but flare up in flames upon hearing his rude tone, glaring at Ren Ye with a disgusted expression.
"Excuse you! What are my husband and my daughter doing here?"
She clenched his jaw and spoke loudly in a furious tone, not taking any of Ren Ye's words seriously.
"Honey," Wu Qi went in between the both of them and spoke awkwardly to his wife, "Relax please, I was visiting my old friend here with his daughter."
"Ling'er really wanted to play here so I bought her here," Wu Qi fidgeted nervously as he tried to reason with the woman.
Zheng Ai refused to listen to Wu Qi's words and complained loudly to him, "Why would Ling'er want to play with his daughter with a father like this?"
Wu Qi's face grew tense as he shuddered and grabbed both of her shoulders, "Stop being unreasonable, he is our friend."
"Why are you acting like this? You aren't normally like this."
Zheng Ai was rather gentle and soft with outsiders, especially Wu Ling's friends, it was strange she was acting out of control when she met Ren Ye.
Zheng Ai pursed her lips with her eyes wide open and couldn't explain why she was also feeling this type of way toward his friend, it was almost like they couldn't be compatible with each other in one room.
"I…"
Zheng Ai blurted out and turned to glance at Ren Ye again, feeling another flame growing inside of her yet again. She wanted to curse at this man for no reason, she endured and held back; gritting her teeth.
Ren Ye lowered his eyes and glanced toward them with coldness, opened his mouth, and blurted out a sentence, "Get out."
Both of them turned toward him, the woman was about to go through another tantrum before having her mouth covered by Wu Qi's hand.
"Brother Ye, I am truly sorry for her behavior," He apologized apologetically with a sincere face and bowed his head.
"Leave," Ren Ye's eyes became emotionless as he ordered them solemnly, "Take Wu Ling with you."
Wu Qi went over and took Wu Ling with them, she looked at the both of them with a strange expression and blurted out with curiosity, "Mama, why do you look like that?"
"Papa, why do you look scared?"
"Did Uncle Ye say something traumatizing about Papa's past behavior?" The little girl pouted her lips and spoke in an endearing tone.
"..."
"I think we'll come back later," Wu Qi comforted the little girl with a worried expression, "Your Mama is in a bit of…"
"Trouble…"
Wu Ling immediately understood what her Papa was saying, she thought her Papa was going to punish her Mama for her misbehavior. She nodded her head and waved at Ren Jia with a happy smile,
"Little Jia, we'll play together again!"
"I will come back to play with you!"
Ren Jia waved back with a shy yet satisfied expression, causing Ren Ye to feel extremely guilty for ruining her fun time playing with Wu Ling. They eventually left as Wu Qi promised to buy a new door for him.
'I don't know why I suddenly acted out of control just now…'
Old Yi barged into his head and spoke with a fascinated voice, "That woman just now."
"Descends from a family of fire cultivators."
Ren Ye's face suddenly shook and twisted into an ugly expression, "Did I offend someone of high status?"
"Sort of, her family is extremely powerful."
"I know their ancestor, he was an acquaintance of mine in the past," Old Yi chuckled deeply, "You can say that their family has enough resources to nurture seven generations of Fire cultivators and is one of the most powerful families out there."
"Her aura just now was of Fire, in conflict with your Ice; causing the both of you to lose your temper. It is almost fire and ice meeting one another and bursting into gas."
Ren Ye coughed awkwardly, "I knew her family was powerful but I didn't expect them to be this powerful."
"If that just happened, what if she gets offended and orders me to get executed?"
Ren Ye shuddered and thought of a plan to escape her family's circle before his thoughts were interrupted by a loud cough,
"She dares not. She knows damn well now that you are her polar opposite and this could only mean one thing inside her head, you are indeed a cultivator."
"She won't act rashly because fire cultivators still retain their rationalities and won't fall into the vengeful category; their family is quite noble actually and for good reasons too."
Ren Ye let out a sigh of relief and couldn't calm down after a while, "Do I have to go apologise to her?"
"No, she'll calm down eventually."
[Ding! User has encountered a fellow cultivator!]
[Proceed with caution as they aren't either your friends or enemies.]
A line of texts appeared in front of him, reflecting in his eyes as he curled his lips into a self-deprecatingly sneer, "I know!"
