Chapter 1121: Denouncing His Fault

Denouncing His Fault . . .

Their two small heads were pressed against Cha Eun Xiao\'s chest, standing on tiptoe as if they were about to nestle themselves completely into Cha Eun Xiao\'s arms. Their tears and snot had smeared Cha Eun Xiao\'s clothes.

That was exactly like the old days.

When the three of them lived together, Cha Eun Xiao was a little beggar, and the two ladies were disabled girls.

Every time Cha Eun Xiao got beaten for theft, the two girls would cry heartbreakingly, as if their entire bodies were on the verge of shattering.

Over time, the ladies stopped crying. Even though they had grown into adult women, they still had limited tears no matter how strong they were. However, the emotions in their hearts remained unvented. They were still sobbing, only without tears.

The place had been sealed off by the ladies with their level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator abilities. Otherwise, their cries would have sent shockwaves throughout the Town of Ye.

In truth, they didn\'t mind if others knew that they also had a vulnerable side, but they simply didn\'t want others to make any inappropriate assumptions.

What could make these two stoic ladies cry like this?

It must be something deeply embarrassing!

"I mean, enough now. Could you stop crying? How old are you? This is sufficient, isn\'t it?" Cha Eun Xiao was authoritative, but his tone was gentle.

"Not enough! No!" the two ladies responded in annoyance simultaneously.

And then, their tears flowed once again.

[Holy hell? Level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators can store their tears to shed whenever they want? What a groundbreaking discovery!]

In the old days, no matter how the two little girls cried, the little beggar would never console them. He would only wait for them to stop crying and then ask, "This is enough, isn\'t it?"

The two little girls would respond to him with anger and bashfulness. "Not enough! No!"

And then, they would stop crying.

However, after all these years, they had finally reunited with their brother. When they heard him say \'this is enough,\' it touched the softest part in their hearts.

They didn\'t stop crying like in the old days; instead, they cried even harder.

[How old are we? In front of you, brother, we are still the same little girls. How old could we be?]

[We cry! We won\'t stop crying!]

Cha Eun Xiao was surprised and let out a helpless sigh.

"Come on. This is enough for real... I mean... You\'re both dominant cultivators now," Cha Eun Xiao said. "How can you cry like two little kittens? What if others see you? Are you going to stay in the martial world or not?"

"So what? We won\'t be afraid!" Yue Shuang exclaimed angrily.

"Humph! That\'s right! Somebody saw us, so what?" Yue Han chimed in angrily. "We want to cry!"

Cha Eun Xiao raised both his hands in surrender. "I know. I understand. I see. I could never win an argument with you two. The best way to end it is to yield. How about that? Can you stop now? Silly girls!"

Finally, the two ladies smiled through their tears.

Then they fell silent and continued to rest in Cha Eun Xiao\'s embrace, looking content and serene.

No one spoke for a long while.

After some time, Cha Eun Xiao couldn\'t help but comment, "Goodness. You won\'t fall asleep on me like you used to when you were babies, will you?"

"Of course, we won\'t," the ladies denied simultaneously. "We\'re just thinking about something..."

"That\'s right... You\'ve both grown up... You\'re big girls now... You have your secrets," Cha Eun Xiao laughed. The two ladies felt his chest shake when he laughed, which made them feel warm and secure.

They almost cried again.

"Humph!" They both harrumphed to suppress the tears once more.

"Well, you two have truly grown into mature women now," Cha Eun Xiao spoke earnestly to them. "What if someone were to spot the two of you in my arms like this? Wouldn\'t it be embarrassing?"

"So what? We enjoy being in your embrace!" Yue Shuang huffed and declared, "Who dares to interfere?"

"After all, we\'ve decided we don\'t want to get married. We couldn\'t care less about the opinions of those ordinary people," Yue Han wrinkled her nose.

"Ahem..." Cha Eun Xiao rubbed his nose and decided to change the subject.

The two ladies remained silent but continued to hold him, savoring the scent of Cha Eun Xiao\'s body. They actually made sounds akin to two contented cats.

After a while, they began to voice their grievances.

"No wonder... we coerced Master to return to find you, threatening to eat nothing until she agreed. Yet, she couldn\'t locate you."

"You must have been taken away by your master then..."

"No wonder... We couldn\'t find you all these years. You have your own fate..."

"You were already a man engulfed in chaos. What a brother of ours! Our brother is truly remarkable..."

"No wonder... Xiao Monarch, who never pays attention to others\' affairs, suddenly assisted us..."

"It was you..."

"No wonder..."

"I see..."

When one of them said \'no wonder,\' the other would elaborate on it.

One would initiate, and the other would continue, as if they were conversing in a dream. They were, in fact, addressing all the questions that had lingered in their minds over the years.

Cha Eun Xiao, the third person in the story who was listening to their murmurings, found it quite amusing.

"Bad brother!" Yue Shuang suddenly complained, "You were in such grave danger! Why didn\'t you tell us?"

"Right! Why didn\'t you? How could you not?" Yue Han widened her eyes and appeared rather assertive.

Cha Eun Xiao grumbled and then fell silent. Providing a satisfactory explanation seemed impossible.

"Did you think we were afraid of the three factions?"

"Did you? We weren\'t afraid!"

"You disgraced us by ignoring us!"

"That\'s true! You ignored us!"

"You still treated us like two useless little girls!"

"True! That was foolish and selfish!"

"Humph! You would rather die than let us in on it... You... such a wonderful brother! Did you believe we wouldn\'t want to share in your troubles? How selfish!"

"That\'s right!"

"You would rather die than disclose the truth to us... That was unforgivable!"

"Unacceptable!"

The two ladies grew increasingly furious as they continued speaking.

Their anger reached new heights. They raised their heads, glaring fiercely at Cha Eun Xiao, and demanded, "Speak! Why? Give us an explanation!"

"We want an explanation!"

"That\'s right! An explanation!"

"We won\'t forgive you if you don\'t provide a justifiable explanation!"

"That\'s right! We won\'t forgive you!"

"Speak up!"

"Now!"

They pointed at Cha Eun Xiao\'s nose with their fingers.
