Chapter 449 (2/2)

Idiot…..If she was afraid of me, would she drill herself into my arms!  The thing she was afraid of was not me and it wasn't the darkness…..because the light coming from her has illuminated the surrounding area.  The only thing she can be afraid of is water.

”Little sister, what is your name?  Why are you here?” Ye Tian Xie spoke in his most gentle voice.

The young girl clearly heard his voice and her body stopped.  She didn't answer and as her body was slightly trembling, she moved her body towards him.  It was as if she wanted to put her body into his, causing the pointed chestplate on her chest to poke Ye Tian Xie.  Ye Tian Xie thought about it and said, ”You, are you afraid of water?”

The young girl's trembling became stronger.  Her response made Ye Tian Xie more confident in his guess.  While s.h.i.+vering, the young girl slowly raised her head and looked at Ye Tian Xie's face…..Her lips opened and closed in small amounts as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't say it.  After a while, she spoke in a soft and immature voice, that was also very faint, ”Yes…..”

For this simple ”yes”, she had thought about it for a long time.

Could it be her communication skills were weak.  Was it like Xiao Xi's….No, was it even weaker than Xiao Xi's?

The girl in his embrace had the same build as Xiao Xi and Xiao Xi normally also wore a purple robe.  Thinking about Xiao Xi who always wanted to be attached to him, Ye Tian Xie's heart was filled with love.  He held the girl's shoulder and said in a soft voice, ”Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you…..If you don't like water, I'll take you away from here.”

The girl revealed a clearly stunned expression as she watched Ye Tian Xie for a while.  While she was looking at him, she kept looking right into his eyes. Finally, she nodded and said with great difficulty, ”Un…..”

However, her body was still trembling.  Ye Tian Xie's words had given her a strange sense of dependence.  However, how could her fear of water be easily abated with a few words. She still tightly held onto Ye Tian Xie…..When a girl was afraid, the thing they hoped for the most was someone to be with them.  The first thing she saw when waking up was Ye Tian Xie, who became her only dependence.

Her fear of water was not fake, the s.h.i.+vering of her body was enough to show how strong this fear was.  What kind of shadow was water to her? It had to be known that even people who were close to drowning to death wouldn't have such a strong fear of water.

A thought suddenly appeared in Ye Tian Xie's mind.  He reached out his hand and with a thought, there was a deep blue flash of light as a small gla.s.s bead half the size of a tennis ball appeared in his hand…..In the past, this was something he stole from the Mysterious Merchant, the Water Evading Drop!

Water Evading Drop: A mysterious pearl with the ability to evade water.  As long as one holds it in one's mouth, they can freely move through water without feeling any water resistance.  There will be no need for air, but this can only be maintained for 30 minutes each day.

As long as one had the Water Evading Drop in their mouth, they could ignore all water resistance and wouldn't be affected by the sensation of asphyxia in the water…..It would be like they wouldn't feel the existence of the water at all.

”Come, open your mouth and take this in…..your mouth.  You won't be afraid of water then.” Ye Tian Xie placed the Water Evading Drop beside the girl's mouth and spoke in a soft voice.  The trembling young girl looked up at him and after several seconds, she watched him as she slowly opened her delicate lips. Ye Tian Xie revealed a faint smile as he carefully placed the Water Evading Drop in her mouth.  He softly said, ”Alright, close your mouth…..You have to be careful not to swallow it.”

The young girl obediently closed her mouth and immediately, a vague blue light appeared around the young girl, mixing with the gorgeous purple glow.

The young girl's trembling stopped…..because she couldn't feel the sensation of the water anymore.  Standing there felt like standing on land. Looking up at Ye Tian Xie, there was a glow in her eyes that was even several times more beautiful than the purple glow that her body was releasing.

”Is it a bit better?”  Feeling the young girl's body calm down, Ye Tian Xie revealed a faint smile.  Although his heart was filled with deep doubts over why she appeared here, why she was sealed inside a purple light barrier, why she was afraid of water, and what that purple crystal around her was…..But at least he didn't feel any hostility coming from this young girl, rather this girl seemed to be showing a kind of dependence on him.  This dependence was like what a newly born little animal would show its mother.

The young girl looked at him and nodded.  The body that had been struggling calmed down…..She raised her hand and grabbed at the surrounding water.  Her eyes were filled with curiosity and fascination, as if she was doubting the fact that there was water here and why she would feel fear…..
