Realms In The Firmament

Chapter 252 - Gentle

“I reckon they know about the truth. They know you are not their own. Most importantly, they are dead.” Ye Xiao said, “What you are worrying is completely out of reason. And it is too narrow-minded.”

“But I know. I know they would never blame me. But I do.” Bing Xin-Yue said, “Although they have passed away, I don’t want to hurt their feelings even if they are in the underworld.”

“I want to… get away from it for some time.” Bing Xin-Yue finally told the true feeling that was deep inside her heart.

“I understand.” Ye Xiao was comforted.

“Shall we continue?” Bing Xin-Yue looked at Ye Xiao and she suddenly blushed.

It was only at this moment did she notice that Ye Xiao’s hand was on her belly all the time. Moreover, his other hand was holding her butt. More importantly, she was totally in his arms.

She remembered that she fell on his arms on her own volition…

With a shocked expression, she hurriedly got up. She sat on the side with her legs crossed. Her heart was beating fast. This time, she didn’t feel angry.

…

The next six hours, Ye Xiao concentrated on absorbing the cold energy inside Bing Xin-Yue. When night fell to the land, he had only finished absorbing ten percent of the cold qi inside her.

It might be even less than ten percent.

The process was much harder than dealing with Wen-Ren Chu-Chu’s the last time.

Ye Xiao was sure that if he hadn’t just broken through the Grade of Tianyuan, he would never be able to handle the reverse impact of the cold qi inside Bing Xin-Yue!

“Let’s call it a day.” Bing Xin-Yue lowered her head and said softly, “You have worked hard for a whole day. There is an auction waiting for you tomorrow. Go back and get some rest.”

Her voice was very soft. It was indeed in an indifferent tone, yet it was totally different from what she used to have.

If Wen-Ren Chu-Chu saw this, her astonishment would have caused her jaw to drop down to the floor; her master could actually be so lady-like.

However, Ye Xiao was too dumb. He actually noticed nothing from it. He just nodded casually and said, “That’s true. Okay.”

Then he just stopped and stood up. He looked so leisure, and he seemed to act like he was asking for a punch.

Bing Xin-Yue was stunned for no reason. She then slowly stood up and tidied up her clothes.

And after a while, she just walked out in advance.

Ye Xiao was confused, [What? I was nearly exhausted to death to deal with your illness. You could at least say thank you, couldn’t you? You just walked out so casually like nothing ever happened? You actually want me to keep it a secret for you. How stupid are you? Do you even know how to get along with people…]

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was pacing here and there cautiously with her arms crossed on her chest. She kept looking at the room with her furrowed eyebrows. She sighed several times, and between her eyebrows, it could be told that she was worrying very much.

Finally, she saw the two of them walk out one after the other. She rushed forward and asked, “How is it? Is it working? It should be, right? It must have worked…”

While asking, she kept looking at their faces. She kept asking with an anxious expression.

“Ah…” Ye Xiao sighed. He looked like the kind ‘I have tried my best but…’ of guy…

“What? Nothing? How is it possible? How? It worked well on me. How come it didn’t work on my master? Did you try your best? You didn’t, did you?” Wen-Ren Chu-Chu asked a lot again. At the end, she sounded like she was weeping…

“What? What did I say? I was just letting out a sigh, that’s all. Did I say anything about how it didn’t work? Why do you have to imagine the worst before figuring out the truth!” Ye Xiao saw Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was about to cry out, so he didn’t dare to continue making jokes. As such, he hurriedly explained. Wen-Ren Chu-Chu liked to fight while she was upset, and he was weak after operating the martial art at the moment. He was unable to handle a fight against her at the moment. He was afraid that he would get punched so hard, and nobody would help him because he started it!

“Ah? So it worked? That’s great! Great! I knew it! I knew it would work. I knew it…” Wen-Ren Chu-Chu laughed instead of cried. She was so happy.

Ye Xiao truly admired her. She used to be smart and mature, yet now she looked like a different person. [How can you be so emotional? Why do you have so much to talk? How do you do that?]

“It worked. That means it will completely solve the problem soon, right? It should be… Hmm. Since it did work, why did you sigh like that? You… You were trying to terrify me? Was it fun?” Wen-Ren Chu-Chu thought about the possibility that her master would be completely cured. She was extremely happy, and she became smart like she used to be. Thinking about the man acting on purpose, she immediately turned fierce to him. Ye Xiao would be punched hard if he couldn’t explain himself.

“Why are you always so reckless? I sighed because of the true feeling from my heart. It surely took progress, but it wasn’t the result I have expected. It was a lot harder than last time when I was doing it on you!” Ye Xiao hurriedly tried to make something up.

“Oh? How come? It worked perfectly well on me. How come when it got to my master…” Wen-Ren Chu-Chu stopped feeling happy and she asked.

“Your illness was a completely different situation with your master’s…” Ye Xiao smiled bitterly, “Your master is very powerful in cultivation. I cannot finish curing her in a short time. I need to do it several times, and it may take many days.”

Bing Xin-Yue nodded and said, “That’s right. Master Feng really has a particular outstanding treatment of his own. The whole process does take a long time though. It cannot be done within a short time.”

After speaking, her mind blanked out.

She looked troubled, like her soul had gone away from her body. She was apparently lost in thought. There were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Wen-Ren Chu-Chu was confused. [It is my first time to see master like this. There seems to be a lot of things in her mind. It shouldn’t be about the man and woman stuff…

It is not about Feng Zhi-Ling. It must be something else.

What is it then? What on earth can exactly make master look so deeply lost in the emotions? Wasn’t she just experiencing the treatment? Did anything special happen during the treatment?!]

Bing Xin-Yue said nothing about it, so Wen-Ren Chu-Che wouldn’t dare to ask.
