Chapter 686 323: Do You Want Me to Apply Medicine for You? (Part 2)

There are many people who don't understand her, and she never cared, but she never thought You Su would be one of them.

"When have I ever done it on purpose? If it weren't for the Fire Armadillo's interference, who knows who would win or lose between Ming Dao and me. And this time in the cave, if it weren't for being poisoned by Huo Ranhua beforehand, how could I be powerless to fight back? Why do you make it sound like I'm deliberately throwing my life away every time... Yes, I want to die. Being dead is easier than living. Are you satisfied now?!"

Ji Xueruo retorted angrily, feeling particularly aggrieved by You Su's misunderstanding. She, who never liked explaining, vented it all at once, but by the end, her voice was tinged with a sob.

You Su couldn't bear it. He had no intention of scolding the girl, but he was fearful of her repeatedly falling into danger.

His heart felt a pang, and he suddenly embraced the girl who had her back to him.

"Let go of me!"

Ji Xueruo struggled stubbornly, but You Su held her tightly, not relaxing for a moment.

"No, once we leave, we'll be as distant as the sky and the South Sea again. I've hardly gotten to see you; I definitely won't let go."

"Will you let go or not!"

"Go ahead and shout, even if you scream, no one will come to save you." You Su played rogue.

Ji Xueruo was both angry and resentful. The two were without a stitch of clothing, and this skin-to-skin contact made her immensely ashamed and annoyed.

Seeing that she couldn't match You Su in strength, she gritted her teeth and bit into his forearm.

But You Su seemed unafraid of pain and refused to loosen his grip.

Ji Xueruo's jaw grew sore from biting, and she released his arm, breathing heavily in anger.

On You Su's forearm were two noticeable teeth marks, much deeper than the ones he had just bitten on her.

"I'm your sister-in-law! What brother-in-law hugs his sister-in-law like this!" Ji Xueruo angrily resorted to ethical attacks.

"Here, there's only You Su and Ji Xueruo, no brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Originally, I intended to treat you with respect, but yesterday, you were the one who climbed on first."

You Su decided to fully adopt a rogue strategy; dealing with such a proud girl, confrontation was definitely pointless—only by being persistent like a stubborn glue could he wear down her sharpness.

"I did it to save you! How could you repay kindness with ingratitude?"

"Who's repaying kindness with ingratitude?"

You Su unceremoniously countered, leaving Ji Xueruo speechless.

You Su then pursued his advantage, "And you had to save me because I saved you first, right? Therefore, the source of the overstepping lies with you; how can you blame me?"

Ji Xueruo, with red-rimmed eyes and pressed lips, was speechless.

"I might have spoken harshly before. I know you didn't intend to throw your life away, but I'm genuinely afraid of you dying. To you, there may be many things in this world more important than life, but to me, your life is more important than anything. Do you understand now? Don't be angry, okay..."

The young man whispered gently, close to the young girl's temple.

Ji Xueruo suddenly felt that all her previous grievances had vanished like smoke. She had never cared about others' misunderstandings, but now she realized how highly she regarded You Su in her heart.

Perhaps it was the countless times of adversity shared that made her feel this blind man understood her best, making it even harder to accept You Su's misunderstanding.

"A wise ruler is magnanimous. Who's holding a grudge against you!" The girl's thin lips trembled as she held back her tears.

"Then thank you for your grace."

You Su smiled gently, hugging the now calm girl a little tighter:

"So next time, please don't have such thoughts of relief through death, okay? Promise me, no matter what, never give up because I'll always be by your side."

Ji Xueruo suddenly felt warmth on her back, a warmth that slowly melted the frost and snow in her heart, easing her physical and mental fatigue.

"What curse did you put on me?"

"It's not a curse; we are naturally in sync with each other," You Su said firmly.

"Nonsense, who's in sync with you!"

Ji Xueruo retorted, feeling as if You Su was deceiving her. Clearly, it was her sister who had a telepathic connection with her.

Thinking of her sister made her feel even more ashamed, only hoping her sister hadn't finished her secluded breakthrough yet. During the breakthrough, the mental connection is sealed off. If it ends, she'll surely find out that she's once again done something shameless with her brother-in-law.

"It's true, I'm not lying. I told you not to close your eyes, and you heard it, didn't you?"

"What filthy thing did you put in my body!" Ji Xueruo was exasperated and struggled once again.

After all, this communication could reach directly into her Sea of Consciousness and even transmit power to her remotely. Such an incredible thing felt very evil to her.

You Su quickly soothed her, "Don't rush, don't rush, it's a long story. Let me explain slowly..."

Hearing this, Ji Xueruo quieted down again.

At least she knew You Su couldn't hurt her.

You Su then recounted to her the matter of fusing with the True Lord, a secret only his junior sister knew. He also explained to Ji Xueruo the special dependent relationship, albeit using the term "family members."

Only then did Ji Xueruo realize that the opportunity for her breakthrough in condensation, that seemingly divine cultivation, was actually brought to her by You Su.

Under Chi Jun's guidance, since he often absorbed Profound Qi by taking Evil Cultivator's Flesh Followers, his mastery of dependant relationships had reached a higher level.

Just as Ji Xueruo was on the verge of death, he was still doing everything possible to break the array left by Huo Ranhua, but suddenly felt an immense threat of death.

This was a warning brought by the Power of the True God, for he had also once infused Ji Xueruo with the Power of the True God.
