The relations of Manwei Bian

Han Yan smiled and said "yes I'll be your girlfriend, then she gave him a hug"

"Ouch" Bian winced as he felt the bone shards in his right arm touch his nerves and skin.

"Ohh, I'm sorr--" before Han Yan could pull away, Bian pulled her in his embrace.

"It's all right" like a true man he ignored the pain hugged her tightly.

The door suddenly swings open, Jing Jia walks in to find Han Yan standing, face beet red.

"Did I interrupt something" Jing Jia asked while scratching the back of his head.

"N-No I was just leaving" Han Yan bolted out of the room. Bian let out a sigh.

"Sorry about all that, I hope you don't mind making a video with me" Jing Jia clarified the purpose of visit.

"A video?" Bian asked, confusion obvious on his face.

"Yeah my younger brother, Jing Jiwu does nothing but read. He also wants to score 1000 points in the entrance test. So I want us to make a video showing our friendship."

"Friendship?" Bian raised a brow waiting for a proper explanation.

"Actually Jing Jiwu is much more talented than I am, but he also looks up to me. He thinks I've been defeated by you and wants to avenge me by proving 1000 points is nothing special." Jing Jia paused then continued "its affecting his cultivation. So can you do me this favour"

'Hmm isn't Jing Jiwu meant to be the name of the older brother, but the younger brother is more talented. Nope I'm not thinking of this.'

Bian sighed once more and agreed "Okay but make it quick"

So Bian and Jing Jia recorded a video in the hospital room showing off their 'friendship'.

"Thanks I owe you one" Jing Jia made his way out.

The nurse came to his room "for how long are you planning on staying?" A normal student wouldn't be given a space in the hospital for so long.

"Until I make a full recovery" Bian responded. He had tried all his geno arts but none could fix his broken arm. They weren't ineffective but were rather underdeveloped.

On the television Fang Mingquan spoke "this year's competition bet--" 

Bian turned off the television "immediately after the competitions a mystery island will appear over steel armor shelter. I can try riding the manticore to it, but it would be better if I could get sacred-blood wings." 

Bian stood up and left the hospital, he texted Han Yan to tell her of his departure.

"Are you not going to watch the competitions" Han Yan asked

"No I'll be away for a few days."

"Are you going into the sanctuaries."

Bian Manwei "..."

"You're so stubborn, just be careful. If you die I'll find and kill you myself."

Bian smiled at this sentence, "don't worry ill be fine" he hung up as he stood in front of the teleport station. Bian was stopped by the security personnel. He showed them his research assistant ID card and they let him through.

Steel armor shelter had next to no one on the streets. Most unevolved would be watching the competitions. Bian made his way out of the steel armor shelter. He didn't go into the underwater cave to keep his cast dry, instead he summoned the manticore and together they went to the devil desert.

Bian rode on the manticore as they flew through the desert in search of flying beasts, the ride was uncomfortable and he almost fell of several times using ghosthaunt to hold onto the manticore. 

In the desert they found a swarm of black feather beasts, Bian got down from the manticore as it rushed forward and tore them to shreds. They were mostly primitive with a few mutant beast here and there, Bian got a primitive beast soul but needed a sacred-blood flying beast soul. He didn't strain himself and let the manticore do all the work.

For two grueling days they searched for flying creatures, eventually coming across a range of small mountains with different creatures inhabiting different summits. "There are 24 mountains here, 3 of them have sacred-blood creatures while the rest have groups of mutant and primitive creatures living together."

The mountains had a variety of creatures but Bian believed them to be in cahoots. "This is gonna take a while"

...

Han Yan was in a daze as she watched the competitions, to no one's surprise alliance central military academy was winning.

"Yanny did you see that, Nalan Chenguo might actually win the black and white boxing competitions" Han Yan's roommate Lin Miru said excitedly.

"Huh, yeah" Han Yan wasn't in the mood to watch the tournaments, she had been invited into many societies but declined them all. Although she wouldn't get any extra credit her scores were already at the top for the school year.

'I even gave up on extra credits to train harder yet I easily agreed to date a boy. No I shouldn't' Han Yan was having second thoughts about dating Bian, after all dating would take up a lot of time which could be used for training.

'But he's so caring, and he gave me jadeskin geno art. I became stronger, he might give me other good things in the future too. Then again will I date him only for the things he can give me am I that cheap!' Han Yan kept turning her head as she pondered.

"You have something on your mind?" Lin Miru noticed Han Yan wasn't interested in the matches, she puffed up her chest and said "You can always tell me" 

"I don't know what to do, should I date Bian or not" Han Yan tried to think about it rationally but couldn't come up with a solution.

"Oh is that all, does he treat you nicely?"

"Yes"

"Does he look at other girls"

"No!" Han Yan had noticed it a long time ago, whenever she showed anything to Bian or got close to him he would ignore everything else and look at her. It made her nervous buy didn't feel uncomfortable, it felt warm.

"Then what's left to consider, date him, marry him have two kids, adopt a puppy buy a yacht." Lin Miru liked to live on the simple side of life.

"But there's so much to consider and--" Han Yan was planning ahead.

"No! Don't complicate things, forget the future for now. How does he make you feel" Lin Miru felt like smacking Han Yan on the back of the head. If relationships could be planned rationally why do they still collapse.

"Warm, and comfortable" Han Yan could only use those words to describe how she felt. 'He isn't like everyone else, it's as if he is from another world'

"Then you have your answer don't you, argh you've made my head hot." Lin Miru felt a headache coming.

"Wanna go out for ice cream" Han Yan knew how to treat her friends properly.

"I love you" Lin Miru held her arm as they walked out.

...

Demigod Xue had moved to a new planet with his clan members for some time now, the redness in their eyes started to fade. One day he saw a maid spill coffee on Xue Longyan, he forgives her and helps clean up the mess.

"So it really was the malpractice of jadeskin that made us so cruel." He said with a sigh.

He transferred 500 million to professor Min and awaited his call, it came about 10 seconds later.

"Demigod Xue, I really appreciate the gesture. The saints hall will--" Demigod Xue Yi Qing cut him off.

"Hold your horses, the money isn't for you or the Saints hall. It's for that young lad who saved us from the path of darkness" Xue Yi Qing said with a smile.

'What the Demigod Xue just said an unevolved saved him. And he's smiling, is someone being tortured in the background' Professor Min could hardly believe his eyes. Demigod Xue was harsh and unforgiving even towards his family members.

Looking at professor Min who seemed to be in shock Xue Yi Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"I think I like this attitude more, send Bian Manwei my regards. And tell him to come to the Xue family if he needs anything, anything at all." He hung up the call and changed to a swimming trunk.

Although he was over a century old his body looked was like that of an athlete. He laid on a retractable chair and enjoyed the sunlight.

He thought to himself as he sunbath 'this is how to live life'
