BXBX NOVEL Chapter 249 One More Day
<Mountain Creek>
In Denise Tubble's opinion, Drake had outstanding qualities, and was also exceptionally talented, a practically perfect match for Ravina. And yet, some country bumpkin had suddenly emerged out of the blue and ruined this fairytale, a truly disgusting act.
Therefore, she put aside her training, and came over to the outer mountains in hopes of finding an opportunity to match make the two of them.
Ravina shook her head, and responded as if she was in a somewhat difficult position, "Senior sister, the peak selection ceremony is just around the corner, and the only thoughts on my mind are to concentrate on my training."
Ravina felt an oncoming headache, a woman like this was truly difficult to deal with. She tried to reject once again. "I'm training the Blazing Pearls technique with Ezra Zephyr, and he only has limited time everyday. So I'm really not free."
Denise was stunned for a moment. She knew that Mahi was learning Gossamer Steps from Ezra but she never thought in her wildest dream that he can teach another difficult techniques that has a different attribute.
A sliver of iciness emerged in her eyes as she turned towards the prince and said with a faint smile, "I believe this must be junior brother Ezra Zephyr? I've heard of your recent exploits even in the official outer mountains."
The werewolf prince did not comment, merely smiling in response.
Denise offhandedly said, "How about this, junior brother Ezra. You'll give Ravina some time off today, and make up for it at a later date. How does this sound?"
She had a slight smile on her face. Although she seemed to be asking a question, her tone indicated that she had already decided the matter.
Ezra's expression remained indifferent, he knew the reason why Ravina lied and went along with it, his eyes lowering slightly as he replied, "The daily training sessions have already been fixed. If she misses it, she'll have to wait for the next one. There are too many disciples learning spiritual techniques here, so we do not do make-up lessons."
The smile on Denise's face froze a little. She had originally believed that given her status, a mere unofficial outer mountain disciple like him would surely tactfully follow her wishes.
After all, this was only a small matter. She never imagined that Ezra would be so ignorant.
"Junior brother Ezra really has some character." Denise withdrew her smile.
She began to observe the prince with indifferent eyes. Drake had naturally mentioned the disagreements between himself and Ezra. However, neither Drake nor Denise felt that it was worth their concern.
As for Ezra declaring that he would take away first place from Drake in the peak selection ceremony, Denise merely laughed in amusement, feeling that this country bumpkin was really overconfident in his abilities.
In her eyes, a 2nd level Core Formation Ezra Zephyr was akin to frog in a well.
Hence why she had come here purely because of Ravina, she had no intentions whatsoever of doing anything to Ezra. From what she could see, during the peak selection ceremony, this country bumpkin would naturally be crushed under Drake's heels and be thoroughly humiliated.
However, she never expected that the country bumpkin would dare to even not give her face.
The prince shook his head. "I'm merely following the rules, rules that will be the same regardless of who it is. I hope that senior sister does not blame me."
His tone was calm, as if he was being earnest.
However, Denise did not think so. She coldly stared at Ezra as the qi type spiritual energy around her began to tremble, and the faint but extremely sharp cry of a sword rang out.
A piercing pressure swept towards Ezra Zephyr.
"Senior Denise!" Ravina Ingale was the first to speak and immediately took a step forward to stand in front of Ezra, Mahi followed her right after. Her brows knitting together as she said in a somewhat angry voice, "What are you doing!"
Denise pursed her lips for a brief moment. She could sense Ravina and Mahi's anger, and immediately withdrew her sword Qi as she regretfully said, "Ravina, are you really not going to take this chance to hang out with me?"
Ravina curtly replied, "I've been busy with training recently, and really do not want to be distracted."
However, she understood that Denise Tubble would not relent so easily, and could only compromise. "If that's really not okay with you, we can find a time to meet up after the peak selection ceremony."
Denise was naturally aware that Ravina had finally made a concession. The former immediately grinned and nodded. "Alright then, I'll wait till the peak selection ceremony is over. Don't worry, I'll surely be here to attend such a grand occasion."
After finishing, she turned around and left.
While leaving, her icy gaze seemed to sweep across Ezra Zephyr.
Under the attention of numerous gazes, Denise left the mountain creek, eventually arriving at the entrance of the mountain, where she met Drake in his usual white attire.
Drake frowned slightly upon seeing that Denise had exited alone. "Is Ravina not coming?"
Only then did Denise's pretty face turn stormy, iciness flashing in her eyes as she coldly said, "That little peasant boy is indeed a hateful one."
She had clearly placed all of the blame on Ezra Zephyr.
"Drake, if you find a chance during the peak selection ceremony, cripple him.
I want to let him know that a peasant boy should obediently stay in his little peasant village dump, and stop dreaming of tasting a swan's meat!"
Her voice was chillingly cold.
Drake nodded, an ominous look in his eyes as they swept towards the direction of the mountain creek.
"Don't worry, I will make him understand that he has offended someone he should never have offended."
Time stealthily flowed as the final month gradually reached its end.
There was only a single day left before the peak selection ceremony.
The atmosphere in the unofficial outer mountains was tense to the limit, numerous disciples everywhere wearing grim expressions, while nervousness hid within the depths of their eyes.
Every single one of them understood the importance of tomorrow's peak selection ceremony.
