Chapter 150 - Misunderstandings

Bai Lei clenches his fist as he turns to watch Nova storm out of the room. He lifts his hand and rubs his face in frustration. He knew he just messed up but it wasn't what she was thinking! As soon as he heard her say that she had been with others...

His mind instantly started picturing her with other men... them touching her, kissing her and doing other things! He was completely absorbed by his thoughts! He looks back down at the knife between his legs with a bitter smile.

He doesn't think less of her okay? He was mad with jealousy! He sighs in regret as he calls out "Ren" Ren suddenly appears kneeling beside him as he says "Here" Bai Lei looks to his bald Shadow guard and sighs again as he says "Follow her and keep her safe. Fail me again..." 

Ren quickly lowers his head as he says "This servant knows. I won't disappoint Master again!" Bai Lei frowns at him and waves him off as he turns back to the door Nova left out of. He wants to follow her and explain to her but he saw the look she gave him.

She needs time to cool off before he tries to explain himself and why he acted like that. He wasn't disgusted with her, if anything, he wanted to take her more than ever! He reaches out and pulls the small blade out of the seat with a slight tug. His eyes flash again before a dark smirk appears on his sexy lips. He won't deny it, he found it a little hot when she came at him like that.

I storm out of the room and keep walking until I get to the palace gates. Little Bun tucks himself close to my neck as I come to a stop. The guards instantly recognize me and refuse to let me leave. I try to keep my irritation in check as I say "Move, I want to go for a walk." 

The guards look to each other before turning to me and saying "The King has given a command that no woman is allowed to leave, especially you." I grit my teeth in anger and go to step forward when I hear Ren say "Allow her to leave." 

I turn to find Ren right behind me with a serious look on his face. The guards bow and move out of the way so I turn around and leave without another word. Bai Lei probably told him to follow me... whatever. As long as I can just get out of this stuffy palace.

All I do is stay in and cultivate, eat, and sleep! I'm gonna end up going crazy... plus, I needed to blow off some steam. I can't believe he actually got upset that I wasn't a virgin! Does he think less of me now because of it? 

I take a deep breath and release it to help with my building anger but it doesn't work. 'It doesn't work because your feelings are hurt dumbass...' What should I expect! This was like the past where men and women are viewed differently and held to different standards but what was really bothering me was thinking about HIM again.

I clench my teeth and walk down the nearly empty street as I try not to think about that... Monster, but my thoughts are quickly diverted when I see signs of struggles on the surrounding buildings. I look around and see that only men are out and about but even they scurry from building to building like mice. 

My mood further drops when I think back to the evil men from the Under Realm. These streets used to be filled with laughter and bargains. Shops selling merchandise and delicious food but now everything was bare and quiet. Somehow this just makes my mood even worse.    

I kick at a stone on the street before three pairs of feet appear in front of me. I stop and look up to find three men from the Under Realm looking at me from head to toe with open desire. I step back and glare at the men in front of me. They were all covered in the same blood-red markings, identical to the ones on my right arm.

I frown and again question what that dream was... and how I suddenly have the same markings as these monsters. "Looks like this little lamb is lost. Why don't you come play with us." The man in the middle says with a flirtatious smile. I glare at him and open my mouth to tell him off when suddenly, a dark figure is standing before me. 

I step back and look at the strong back in front of me with surprise as Ren turns to me and yells "Runaway, Nova! Quickly! I'll hold them back!" He then turns to block a blow from the three men. Ren quickly blocks the blow and spins around while pulling out his twin blades.

The three men glare at Ren while saying "Scram! Don't interfere with our hunt!" Ren returns the look and scoffs at them while saying "She's prey to only one man, none of you are him! Leave now or prepare to die." The three men all look at Ren with momentary shock before bursting out in laughter.  

The middle man struggles to stop laughing as he wipes tears from his solid black eyes before saying "Kill him." They all rush forward to attack him at the same time! Ren grits his teeth as a bead of sweat drips down the side of his face.

He was hoping to run them off, knowing good and well he was no match for these monsters but it looks like luck wasn't on his side. At least Nova was able to getaway. He quickly blocks a blow before being hit from the side. 

Blood flies out of his mouth as he clutches his chest. They were so strong! He turns to block another blow but he was too slow! Ren flies back and lands hard on his back, knocking the air out of him. The blow was so powerful, he couldn't move his body!

Ren coughs up more blood as he glares up at the three men surrounding him. 'I'm sorry Master, I won't be able to serve you any longer...' He thinks as he struggles to take a breath. Suddenly, a seductive laugh has all four men freezing as they all turn to look at the source.

Nova never left!? Ren tries to get up but he just can't move but what he hears next, has him questioning his hearing. "If you three bastards touch my baldy one more time, I will kill you all in the most painful and slowest way possible," Nova says with a dark smile.

Ren blinks several times in confusion 'My baldy!?' but when he looks at that beautiful woman's smile, he suddenly feels a chill going down his spine. She... she looks different. 

Nova smiles at the three men in front of her surrounding Ren but the smile doesn't quite reach her cold eyes. I was already in a bad mood and these bastards chose to hurt Ren right in front of me! It was all these bastards' fault that this world was now in trouble! 

The three men frown at me and start to step closer, going back to their perverted looks. Ren panics and tries to move but only manages to cough up more blood. Seeing Ren's state has my anger spiking as I turn back to look at the three approaching men.

Suddenly, the three men freeze. They look at the woman in front of them with a mixture of fear and confusion. "W... why does she feel like our King?" One of them asks nervously licking his lips. The other two nod their heads and say "She does kinda feel like him..." 

My smile grows as I take a slow step forward and take a deep breath. "Mmmm you three suddenly smell oh so very tempting..." I say in a low purr causing the three in front of me to suddenly shudder as they all take a step back. 'Why was this woman suddenly so terrifying?' They all think to themselves.
