CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 0119: SHARING A BED TOGETHER_1

"Bingbing, since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s not dwell on it. I won’t hold it against you," Zhang Bin said magnanimously.

"Hit me! Just hit me..." Tian Bingbing, however, grabbed Zhang Bin’s hand, trying to make him strike her face.

Of course, Zhang Bin forcefully resisted. In the end, his hand was simply pressed against her delicate face, held there by her own.

The sudden contact sent a jolt, like an electric shock, through Zhang Bin.

He couldn’t help but pinch her cheek and say with a mischievous smile, "Sister Bingbing, I could never bring myself to hit you. Who would have the heart to strike such a beauty?"

Evidently, his old flirtatious habits were flaring up again.

"Even if you can’t bring yourself to do it, you must hit me. Otherwise, I’ll feel awful," Tian Bingbing said, choking up.

"Then how about I give you a kiss as punishment?" Zhang Bin asked, mustering his courage.

"I’m not your girlfriend!" Tian Bingbing’s eyes widened. "How can you punish me like that?"

She doesn’t seem angry at all! This woman has really changed. It looks like she’s unconsciously fallen for me! I’m just too handsome, a natural with beauties. Zhang Bin mused smugly. Out loud, of course, he continued speaking ambiguously, teasing Tian Bingbing until she was laughing through her tears and pouting adorably.

"Xiao Bin, I know you’re magnanimous and noble. I also know you’re not angry with me. But the more you act like this, the guiltier I feel, so please don’t try to comfort me this way," Tian Bingbing said, choking back tears. "Listen, my dad told me to invite you to the martial arts hall. If I can’t complete this task, he won’t let me come home. Will you go?"

"Why does he want me to go to the martial arts hall?" Zhang Bin asked, astonished.

"I don’t know either. But if you’re really not angry with me, please go," Tian Bingbing pleaded.

She knew in her heart that her father was truly furious this time. If she failed to bring Zhang Bin back with her, he really wouldn’t forgive her.

Zhang Bin grinned. "When a beauty invites me, how could I possibly refuse?"

"That’s wonderful!" Tian Bingbing’s face lit up with surprise as she pulled Zhang Bin out the door.

About twenty minutes later, Tian Bingbing and Zhang Bin arrived back at the martial arts hall, each in their own car.

Tian Guangjin was waiting at the entrance with all the coaches and students. Apparently, Tian Bingbing had called Tian Guangjin on the way.

Many of the coaches and students were still bewildered, and some even glared angrily at Zhang Bin.

Tian Guangjin led Zhang Bin to the hall’s main training square and announced loudly, "Fellow coaches and students, I’ve invited Zhang Bin back today so that you can all understand the truth. I want you to know what kind of person Zhang Bin is and to know what injustice he has suffered!"

Then, with a pained expression, he continued, "Previously, a challenger from Japan came to our hall. He was a very powerful master. Bingbing asked Zhang Bin for help, but he refused, leaving her no choice but to face the man herself. You were angry, and so was I. We were angry that Zhang Bin would abandon her in her time of need. But is that what really happened?"

"It’s not?" the crowd asked, astonished, their faces filled with confusion.

"The truth is not like that!" Tian Bingbing choked out, before recounting how she had misunderstood Zhang Bin’s past actions as harassment. She concluded, "So, I fired him. It wasn’t until today, however, that I realized he wasn’t harassing me. He was using a miraculous Secret Technique to increase the Speed of my sword strikes, turning me into a skilled swordsman.

"He refused to help today because he knew I could defeat that Japanese fighter. You all saw what happened. Then, he appeared just in time to use his incredible medical skills to revive the man, saving our hall from trouble. He even healed my father and Coach Wang. And we... this is how we treated him..."

All the coaches and students were dumbfounded, hardly able to believe their ears.

They had completely misunderstood Zhang Bin? Was he truly such a righteous hero?

"I’m sorry, Head Coach, I’m so sorry..." The students who had previously insulted him were now full of agony and remorse.

One burly man even slapped his own face repeatedly, the SMACK, SMACK, SMACK sounds echoing loudly.

"Zhang Bin, I’m sorry. I’m ashamed of my previous behavior. Please forgive me," Tian Guangjin said, bowing deeply.

Zhang Bin helped him up and smiled. "It was just a misunderstanding, and now that it’s cleared up, everything’s fine. I know you’re a good man—that all of you are good men. That’s why I was never truly angry."

"I’m sorry, Xiao Bin... I’m so, so ashamed..." Tian Bingbing stammered.

Zhang Bin gave her a wicked smile. "Bingbing, don’t worry about it. In fact, I should be thanking you. Because of you, I made ten million."

Laughter and chuckles filled the air as everyone was amused by Zhang Bin’s words.

Immediately, Tian Guangjin ordered a banquet to be set up in the main hall. The numerous coaches and students took turns toasting Zhang Bin to apologize.

Although Zhang Bin’s Cultivation Level was high and he had already opened his fifteenth meridian, he couldn’t withstand so many people taking turns to toast him in what amounted to a battle of attrition.

Thus, he got drunk and soon passed out completely. He was vaguely aware, however, that he had also drunk many of them under the table.

Sometime later, Zhang Bin woke to a sweet, refreshing fragrance.

He also felt his head nestled between two soft mountains.

A puzzled look crossed his face as he cautiously opened his eyes. What he saw left him stunned.

He found himself lying on a large, distinctly feminine bed. That wasn’t all. There was a woman lying on the bed with him, and that woman was Tian Bingbing.

Tian Bingbing seemed to be fast asleep, hugging his head to her chest as she breathed evenly. One of her pale, slender legs was resting on his waist, and his own arms were wrapped around her waist.

The position was far too intimate.

What on earth happened? How did I end up in bed with Bingbing? Zhang Bin’s mind was a complete fog, filled with confusion.

He immediately grew agitated. His heart pounded, his mouth went dry, and he could feel his Beast Blood begin to boil.

He slowly nuzzled his head against her, and the two soft mountains trembled in response. His hand slid down unconsciously, landing on her thigh. It felt as smooth as satin. He began to move his hand slowly.

"Don’t mess around," Tian Bingbing mumbled, grabbing his hand.

Her eyes slowly fluttered open.

Zhang Bin was shocked and quickly squeezed his eyes shut, feigning sleep. With the situation unclear, it was best to observe for a while.

"Ah..."

A low cry of alarm escaped her lips. It was, of course, Tian Bingbing.

She quickly let go of his head, moved her leg off his waist, and pushed his hand away from her thigh. She tried to get up silently, but couldn’t manage it, because Zhang Bin’s other hand was tightly wrapped around her waist.

Hmph... You think you can sleep with me for a night and then just walk away? Not a chance! Zhang Bin thought fiercely.

So, he tightened his grip on her waist, refusing to let her escape.
