Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny - Chapter 23
“So I merely touched your waist, is that right?” Xue An asked nonchalantly.
The seven-point lady was a little flustered. In an attempt to hide the truth, she pretended to cry.
The tears of women can be very effective in winning the sympathy of people.
This seven-point lady in particular, was quite attractive. Because of this, many male onlookers glared at Xue An with angry eyes.
There were even a few who were aggressively cracking their knuckles. They were eager to play the hero and come to the rescue of a damsel in distress.
The corners of Xue An’s mouth curved up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile. “You think your tears will pull on my heartstrings? Do you really think you’re that pretty?”
This cutting remark made the seven-point lady look even sadder as she cried even harder. But inside, her heart actually felt steady and settled.
To think he would actually say such words in front of so many people. She was confident that the crowd would stand by her and give him a good tongue lashing!
And she was right.
A few young boys dressed in their school uniforms were roused with indignation. “How could you talk like that? You snuck up behind the lady and touched her inappropriately. And now you dare to scold her?”
“Exactly! This is not a gentleman, let alone a man!” Some of the women that surrounded them were pointing fingers and making snide comments.
Xue An looked around at the crowd and said nonchalantly, “If I truly wanted to touch someone, do you really think that I would choose someone of this standard?”
This comment further incurred the public’s wrath.
“Molesting someone and then saying that you think she’s not attractive?” The crowd was angry and many of them were shouting at the top of their voices.
The seven-point lady crouched on the ground and a smug smile appeared on her face.
Now you’re done for!
All of a sudden…
A cool and attractive voice could be heard over the ruckus. “Xue An, what’s the matter?”
Just the mere sound of this voice was enough to shake the hearts of many men.
The crowd parted and Tang Xuan’er and Fan MengXue walked over together.
The appearance of these two ladies silenced the entire place.
Tang Xuan’er was not wearing a long skirt today. Instead, she had donned a pair of jeans and wore a white down jacket as her top.
Her dressing lent her an attractive appearance that made her look exceptionally youthful.
Fan MengXue on the other hand, wore a long white skirt that had been exquisitely crafted. The material of the skirt gracefully accentuated her alluring curves and left little to the imagination.
Although she was wearing a mask that obscured most of her facial features, what was revealed was already impressive. Her picturesque brows and eyes were proof that this lady was definitely a sight to behold.
These two beautiful ladies were definitely considered to be at least nine points. They captured the unwavering gaze of many boys who could not seem to peel their eyes off of them.
Additionally, Tang Xuan’er and Fan MengXue did not like wearing heavy make-up. As such, their faces were only lightly powdered. This further lent them an air of elegance and natural beauty.
Compared to them, the seven-point lady crouching on the ground was nothing more than a simple commoner.
“What’s the matter?” Fan MengXue asked with great concern.
She had rushed over upon hearing the sounds of the commotion.
Xue An smiled and said, “It’s okay. Just someone accusing me of harassing her.”
“Who?”
Xue An pointed to the seven-point lady. She was in a petrified state, still crouched on the ground.
“That would be her.”
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian chimed in unison. “This auntie is… so ugly!”
The two girls were merely saying what everyone else was thinking at that very moment.
This incident was proof that it was impossible to compare one person to another.
Just minutes ago, most of the men in the crowd had believed that the seven-point lady was very beautiful. They had not seen much of the world beyond what they already knew.
But now, looking at Tang Xuan’er and Fan MengXue, they realized that the crying lady was not as attractive as they had initially believed.
Realizing what was going on, Fan MengXue could not help but start to laugh. Her eyes curved into pretty crescents from all this amusement.
“Hubby, she said you harassed her?”
As she spoke, Fan MengXue casually reached out and held on to one of Xue An’s arm.
With this simple gesture, everyone in the crowd started to see the picture clearer.
It turned out that this girl, who was so stunning that her beauty was beyond compare, was this man’s girlfriend!
It was obvious that the words of the seven-point lady were lies.
What a joke.
If you already have delicious cream cake to eat, would you still want to eat crappy food?
The fiercest members in the crowd, especially those that were the loudest, lowered their heads in shame. Others were throwing angry looks at the seven-point lady.
They realized that this woman had just accused an innocent man of molest. That was simply unthinkable!
The seven-point lady’s heart was filled with panic.
She would never have guessed that this man would have such a beautiful girlfriend.
Although she had spent an exorbitant amount of money on her face, she was nothing but an ugly freak when compared to the two women standing above her.
She looked around and saw that many of the faces of the boys around her were covered in disappointment.
In fact, many of the boys were secretly stealing glances at Tang Xuan’er.
Compared to Fan MengXue, who had a mask on, Tang Xuan’er appeared gentler and quieter. Her plain face was void of make-up.
But the next thing that Fan MengXue said shattered the fantasies these people had in their minds.
“Sister, this woman is slandering our hubby!”
Our… hubby?
What a strange thing to say.
The looks on their faces changed as the crowd turned towards Xue An.
Some were shocked, some were confused, but most of them were envious.
Tang Xuan’er blushed uncontrollably. She lowered her head and said nothing.
Xue An felt a little helpless. Fan MengXue could be a quirky and mischievous character at times.
Xue An turned to looked at the seven-point lady.
“Do you still accuse me of touching you inappropriately?”
The seven-point lady’s entire body jerked. She considered continuing with her lie, but the look in Xue An’s eyes left her cold. She felt as if she was locked in an ice cellar. Reluctantly, she shook her head. “No… never!”
Xue An said apathetically, “Do you know that you’ve done wrong?”
“I know I was wrong!”
“Then give yourself twenty tight slaps in the face!”
After finishing what he had to say, Xue An took Xue Xiang and the others, and simply walked away.
The seven-point lady could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Xue An walking away. In fact, she was secretly rejoicing. I’m not going to slap myself just because you told me to! Why would I listen to what you have to say?
But just as she was about to stand up, she felt her hands twitching involuntarily. Then, very forcefully, she slapped herself in the face.
The strength of this slap was so great that she felt a little dizzy.
But before she even had time to react, her other hand raised and smacked herself across the face.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
After twenty forceful slaps, the face of the seven-point lady was red and swollen. Her nose, which she had spent a lot of money on, had been slapped askew.
Despite this, no one took pity on her. All of them were looking at her in disgust.
The seven-point lady clambered to her feet, glared angrily at Xue An’s back, then turned around and ran away.
When all the commotion had died down, Fan MengXue and company followed Xue An’s lead and began skating.
Fan MengXue’s skating skills were good, but Tang Xuan’er had no experience at all. She was struggling the moment she had put on her skates.
Just like Tang Xuan’er, Xue An had never skated in his life.
But given his status and abilities, a simple task like ice skating posed no difficulty to him at all. He took Tang Xuan’er’s hand and led her forth to teach her.
Meanwhile, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian were sitting on a sled. They were having the best time playing with some of the sled dogs nearby.
Since it was winter, the days were short and soon, the sky started to become dark.
Fan MengXue had enjoyed herself greatly and had a great afternoon. Her face was still flushed from excitement as she sat herself down next to Xue An to catch her breath.
“Tired?” Xue An asked.
Fan MengXue shook her head. “No, not at all!”
Xue An looked at Tang Xuan’er, who was not far away. She was staggering like a young child who was trying to find her balance. He smiled. “Are you happy?”
“Of course I’m happy! This is the happiest day I’ve had in the last four years!”
Just as she said this, the lights around the ice skating rink turned on.
The mazes and castles that were sculpted out of ice glistened under the glow of these lights, transforming the landscape into a magical, icy kingdom.
“How beautiful!” Fan MengXue said with tears in her eyes.
Xue An nodded quietly.
He had traversed many different landscapes that were tens of thousands times more magnificent than this. But at this moment, Xue An felt that this view of the mortal world was, in fact, also very beautiful!
