The Phoenix Arises Chapter 15.2

Chapter 15.2: Keep Yourself Chaste for Me

Before Duanmu Xi was even able to react, Xuanyuan Mo slipped his arm around Duanmu Xi in an embrace, and brought her flying out of the cave behind the waterfall.

Duanmu Xi was shocked by Xuanyuan Mo's sudden actions and her small hands gripped his waist tightly as she buried her face into his chest.

Xuanyuan Mo's body stiffened and his heart skipped a beat. He had initially had no other intention but to quickly bring her over to the lake's sh.o.r.e on the other side but now he just wished that time would forever stop at this very moment.

But they finally arrived at the bank and the two people parted from each other like lightning.

"I apologize. I must have startled you. I….."

Xuanyuan Mo was rather fl.u.s.tered and awkward as he had never been so close to any girl before and he did not know how to explain himself.

Looking at Xuanyuan Mo's red face, Duanmu Xi thought that the man was rather shy and gets embarra.s.sed easily, which caused even her usually cold and icy self to be unable to help herself but want to tease him.

Duanmu Xi turned herself around and looked at Xuanyuan Mo with a serious face.

"You do not need to be nervous. I will take responsibility. And remember my name, I am Duanmu Xi. You belong to me from now onwards. You have better keep yourself chaste and untainted. If you are dirtied, I will reject the goods."

"….." Xuanyuan Mo turned into stone and froze there in his spot, not noticing that Duanmu Xi had walked a far distance away.

[What does she mean by taking responsibility and keeping himself chaste? Hasn't she gotten things the wrong way around?]

[But d.a.m.n it! Why is he feeling so happy about it? An indescribable sense of joy has immediately filled his heart!]

After walking for a long while, Duanmu Xi did not see Xuanyuan Mo come catch up with her and she turned around to go back.

"Are you feeling alright? I was just joking earlier, don't mind me at all."

Hearing Duanmu Xi try to explain, Xuanyuan Mo felt as if he had been struck by a bolt, his heart fallen deep down into the abyss.

"You clearly said that you will take responsibility for me just now and now you're going back on your word so soon?"

"….." [What does he mean? What kind of an expression was that? Why does it feel like after she has explained herself, he seems to be acting mighty weird?]

"You took advantage of me just now and now you do not want to take responsibility?"

"….." Duanmu Xi stared at Xuanyuan Mo like she had just seen a ghost, never thinking that the cold and indifferent youth would have such a shameless side to him.

"Can you be held to your own word?"

"Of course."

Duanmu Xi nodded her head dazedly.

"Good. You said that you will take responsibility and I will keep myself chaste and untainted for you. So you will not be able to reject these goods!"

Xuanyuan Mo did not wait for Duanmu Xi to react and went on walking ahead on his own, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, which showed the great mood he was in at that moment.

This time it was Duanmu Xi who turned into stone. Never had she thought that the first time she came to crack a joke in eighteen years would cause her to be laden with such a great burden. If she had known, she wouldn't have joked so carelessly even if she was beaten to death.

"Ay! Xuanyuan Mo! Wait….."
