Chapter 501: Under the mask

When Sima You Yue heard that raspy voice call her Big Sis, her tears wouldn’t stop falling. Her legs walked forward step by step.
As for Kong Xiang Yi, her mouth fell open wide as her bright eyes flashed with disbelief. She did not dare to believe.
Even Wu Lingyu and Fire Qilin were stunned when they heard him address her as his Big Sis.
“Big Sis…” Ximen Feng cried out again as Sima You Yue came closer.
This time when he called out, Kong Xiang Yi also came back to her senses. She pulled on to Ximen Feng’s sleeve and said, “Ximen Feng, is your brain filled with water? This person is a male! How could he be your Big Sis? Isn’t your Big Sis already dead? Qin Mo said that he had personally buried her.”
Ximen Feng was extremely surprised in the beginning as well. However, when he saw Little Roar and even heard him call her Yue Yue, he was certain. The person in front of him was his Big Sis. Furthermore, her soul had definitely reincarnated. Otherwise, her spirit beast that was contracted to her soul would not have survived.
Although he didn’t know how this happened, he was certain. She was his elder sister. This was his elder sister who protected him ever since he was young.
Sima You Yue came in front of Ximen Feng. She stretched forth a hand, thinking of taking away Ximen Feng’s mask. However, he stopped her.
“Don’t look…”
Sima You Yue knew that he definitely had a reason for not letting her look, so she did not force him. She merely touched the mask and saw those familiar eyes. She smile despite her tears.
Wu Lingyu glanced at the pair and said to Kong Xiang Yi who was standing there in a daze, “Let’s go.”
“Huh?” Kong Xiang Yi was stunned. However, she understood what Wu Lingyu meant and followed him far away, “Hey, I say. Are you really Wu Lingyu?”
“Mm.”
“You’re not a fake?”
“Mm.”
“That’s impossible right? If you’re really someone from the Sage Pavilion, why would you help us? I know, that elder sister must have requested it. Sigh, he’s clearly a man, how could he be an older sister? So weird…”
Kong Xiang Yi muttered as she left, and her voice trailed away.
Once they walked far away, Sima You Yue released XImen Feng, saying, “Dear Feng, what is going on?”
“This is a pretty long story…” Ximen Feng said.
“Then let’s talk later.” Sima You Yue took out some medicinal pills as she spoke, “You were just injured. Eat these pills first.”
Ximen Feng took those pills and ate it without saying much.
Sime You Yue called Ya Guang out and got him to burn all the corpses to remove any trace. Then, she took Ximen Feng and left the area, getting Little Roc to take them to a summit.
“Can you let me see you now?” Sima You Yue asked.
“I don’t want…” Ximen Feng still rejected her subsciously.
“No matter what you look like, you’ll always be my younger brother.” Sima You Yue said.
“I’m afraid I’ll scare you.” Ximen Feng was rather unwilling.
“I’ve even seen your naked butt. Why are you afraid of what you look like?” Sima You Yue said.
“Big Sis…” Ximen Feng glanced at Sima You Yue with a little embarrassment, Big Sis, how did you end up like this? You look like a guy, it’s a bit weird for me to call you Big Sis.”
Sima You Yue smiled, then twisted the ring on her finger. She immediately returned to her female appearance.
“You…” Ximen Feng’s eyes were large, “Looks like Big Sis is still Big Sis. This way, I won’t find it awkward anymore.”
“Yeah.” Sima You Yue nodded, “Now, you should be able to let me see what you look like……”
“I…” Ximen Feng was unwilling. However, when he saw the determined look in Sima You Yue eyes, knowing her character, she would definitely do what he said. As such, he could only give in and pull down the mask on his face.
How could this be considered a face?! It seemed that there wasn’t a single bit of unmarked skin, and many parts of it were bumpy. It was as if he had been bitten by something. Also, because he had always been wearing his mask, it was now inhumanly pale.
Although Sima You Yue had guessed that something was up with his face, she never thought that his face would be like this. She was momentarily shocked, and sucked in a breath.
When Ximen Feng saw Sima You Yue’s reaction, embarrassment flashed through his eyes.
“I told you I would scare you.”
After speaking, he stretched forth a hand to take his mask back, but Sima You Yue hid it behind her back.
“I was just a little surprised for a while.” Sima You Yue’s heart ached when she saw how hurt he was. She wondered what kind of hurt he had been through. How much suffering he felt. “Right now, we are siblings. So tell me, after that ****** time, a few years had passed. How did these wounds happen?”
She saw his eyes flash and she glared at him, “You know my character and I know yours. You better not hide anything from me. Otherwise, once I find out, I’ll never let you off.”
Ximen Feng initially thought of hiding it, but after hearing what she said, he swallowed his initial words. After thinking about it twice, he finally told her what he had gone through..
“After you left that year, they hurt me shortly after. I was like a corpse hanging between life and death. I used the last of my strength to throw myself off the cliff. Big Sis, do you remember the place we separated?”
“The place we separated?” Sima You Yue thought it over, then cried out with surprise, “Heartbreak Valley! You actually fell into heartbreak valley?”
Ximen Feng nodded, then continued, “Heartbreak Valley is well known for being the area where all the poisonous insects are. After I fell off, I was pretty lucky and landed in a puddle. In that puddle resided a poisonous beast. However, I was lucky that it was not around. So, around that area, there were a few poisonous insects that had no consciousness. Once I had awoke, my face had already become like this, and I was already in Heartbreak Valley. It could be because you had initially fed me a lot of good food, so I was compatible with the poison. Although they were highly toxic, I didn’t die.”
“You entered Heartbreak Valley and were bitten by poisonous insects but were not poisoned to death. This could be the reason why Kong Valley was willing to save you.” Sima You Yue said.
“It’s true.” Ximen Feng nodded, “He told me that he had just entered Heartbreak Valley to look for two pill ingredients. When he saw me, he saw that I was still alive. In a moment of curiosity, he rescued me.”
“Then how did you gain the strength you have now?” Sima You Yue said, “Based on your cultivation speed, it’s not possible for you to have this amount of strength.”
“I really can’t keep anything from you.” Ximen Feng said, “After I healed from my wounds, I remained in Kong Valley. I didn’t mingle much with people, but I don’t know why, Kong Xiang Yi loved to stick to me. So, there was one person who started to target me. There was a time, when I had gone out, they plotted against me and I fell into a cave. Although I survived, a dark aura entered my body and I almost died. When I returned, with the help of the Valley Master, I managed to control that aura after a few years.”
Sima You Yue furrowed her eyebrows and grabbed onto his hand to take his pulse. After she had examined him, she looked at Ximen Feng’s ever calm and helpless face with terror.
