24 The First Meeting

Last time Yang touched Ying it seemed like he triggered something in her. Also during the first day of the trial, she had become violent when he did the same. Although then, she had only pushed him and given him a glare.

However she willingly grabbed him later on to steady him after he had fainted, so it seemed that she still tolerated body contact to a certain degree.

While still analyzing the situation, Yang unintentionally thought of their first meeting in the Beast Realm.

During that time, he had been fascinated by a young beauty clad in light-blue dress with long sleeves. She was visible from the market stalls where he was and could be seen sitting on a large cliff, gazing at the sea beneath.

Because of the loud noices from the nearby crowd in the Grand Festival, he was afraid that she wouldn't hear him if he just called out. Therefore he walked up to her and patted her lightly on her shoulder in hope that she would turn around and face him.

Who would have expected that she would immediately grab his arm and throw him on the ground, which nearly caused him to fall off the cliff. An Ice sword was then pointed against his throat, which caused him to take a deep gulp.

Before he had the time to counter attack, the sword melted and disappeared. The woman then turned her heels and teleported herself away from the scene.

Yang was left stupefied and didn't react until his best friends, Hot and Pot, ran up to him. They showed worry at first and checked that he was unharmed before teasing him for breaking the record of the fastest loss in a battle ever.

The teasing caused him to promise them that he would win the next time he saw her. He would then revenge himself for that day's embarrassment.

Ever since, he had attempted his best at finding the girl who he lost against and beat the crap out of her. However, no matter how diligently he trained, he still somehow always went down defeated by her. This unwillingness to forever remain the loser and the determination to win, were the main causes for their current situation.

Because of his frenzy, he hadn't contemplated until now on why she acted like she did that day. Of course, she might have thought that he was a pervert who wanted to take advantage of an unsuspecting young woman.

However when he now mused over it, he realized that it was similar to her current reactions. If so, then it would suggest that whatever caused her to react as strongly as she did was already present several hundred years ago.
