43 Sharing her burdens IV

Yang wasn't surprised to hear Yin's answer, since they were at the bottom of the food chain so to speak. Even if they far surpassed their piers, they had really still long to go to reach the top.

Still, he wanted to know who the bastard was. If he couldn't personally kill him, he could always beg his parents for help. With Magma's and Ember's superior cultivation, he believed that few could escape their grasp.

"No? Then I will tell my parents to kill him."

The young Fire God was so agitated that he forgot to consider more aspects of the situation. If he could think of ordering his clan to avenge her, wouldn't she be able to do the same? The Ice Clan was in no way weaker than the Fire Clan.

The young Ice God shook her head lightly before continuing enjoying the breeze.

"Why are you shaking your head?" Yang asked when he witnessed her quiet response.

"Between the Fire Clan and the Ice Clan, which one possess the greatest power?" She opened her eyes after a while and tested him. If he couldn't even get it with this hint, he would truly be a waste of time.

"It's hard to say. Both clans have their weakness and strengths, but they should be considered matched in terms of influence and power..."

Yang stopped talking as he finally realized something. A wry smile appeared on his countenance.

"I see."

It was once again silent between the two Gods. One was trying to figure out the culprit based on the given information, while the other one tried to guess if the first one would truly figure it out.

"Then how about a collaboration between our clans? With our combined strength, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat that bastard, right?" Yang presented another solution.

Yin turned her gaze at him and stared at him intently.

"Why would you involve you and your clan in this? We are neither related by flesh nor by marriage, so why bother?" Her voice was calm and nonchalant.

"Because..."

'I like you' was the rest of the words, but he didn't dare to express them. What if she didn't feel the same? Heck, who was he fooling? Of course she wouldn't feel the same.

A bitter feeling rose in his heart, but he suppressed it with all his might.

"Because we of the Fire Clan owe you after you intervened and saved us during the Celestial Emperor's birthday."
