Chapter 283: Thousand Martial Divine Gaze Dao

After numerous unsuccessful attempts, Li Qiye finally said: “Let me see your eyes.”

Chi Xiaodie then turned around and Li Qiye held her face with his hands in order to open her eyelids to carefully look at her pupils.

The two were so close that their breaths exhaled into the face of one another. Li Qiye was carefree but Chi Xiaodie became fl.u.s.tered. This was her first time being so close to the opposite s.e.x, so she was at a loss of what to do.

Chi Xiaodie’s eyes had a faint golden color; one wouldn’t be able to see it without a careful look. Li Qiye carefully examined her eyes and eventually let go with his hands while shaking his head.

His gesture caused her to feel uneasy. With a negative sense of foreboding, she asked: “Is something wrong?”

Li Qiye didn’t answer and simply replied: “You stay here, I will have to go out for a while.” He decisively left after speaking.

Chi Xiaodie was surprised but Li Qiye had already left before she could ask him anything.

She was not someone who gave up easily so, after his departure, she continued to follow his instructions to look for the eyes of her ancestor. However, no matter how many times she tried, she was not able to see the statue’s eyes.

Eventually, Chi Xiaodie gave up because she understood she was missing something. She, herself, didn’t know the part that was missing, but maybe Li Qiye did.

Li Qiye left for many days and was without any news. Early on, Chi Xiaodie a.s.sumed that Li Qiye was busy with something so he was late, thus she didn’t pay it any mind. However, day after day had pa.s.sed and Li Qiye still hadn’t returned. This caused Chi Xiaodie to be quite alarmed. Was Li Qiye not returning? Had he abandoned her?

Chi Xiaodie was lost with many inscrutable and negative thoughts. In the end, she calmed down while staying alone inside the Ancestral Divine Temple.

Li Qiye’s trip took three months. It was a morning when Chi Xiaodie woke up very early; she planned to cultivate but she became frightened the moment she stepped into the main hall because a person was standing there.

After the initial scare, she noticed that Li Qiye was sitting in the hall so she happily exclaimed: “You’re back!”

But at this time, Li Qiye ignored her. With one hand, he lifted his Myriad Heavenly Cauldron while the other hand channeled a fire to refine a medicinal paste. A refres.h.i.+ng aroma of herbs permeated from within the cauldron.

Li Qiye then seriously commanded: “Go!” He then took out a jade bowl and it sucked in the paste from the cauldron. The ointment was green in color; even though it had just left the cauldron, it was cold instead of hot. Chi Xiaodie felt the coolness while standing next to Li Qiye.

He commanded: “Come over here.”

Once she got close, he told her to sit down: “I’m about to apply the ointment on your eyes. It will hurt a lot, but try to endure.”

His words caused her to hesitate, but he then waved his sleeve: “Stop dawdling around. I had to sell a favor to the War G.o.d Temple in order to refine this ointment. If you keep on standing there, the medicine will become hot and my precious, rare herbs will be wasted!”

Her heart s.h.i.+vered after hearing Li Qiye words. She then bit her teeth and lifted her head. She let Li Qiye do whatever he wanted as he applied the paste onto her eyes.

At first, Chi Xiaodie felt the medicine was cold and comfortable — it was no big deal.

But a moment later, she began to scream miserably: “Ah!!”

A stinging sensation pierced her eyes. It was unbearable to the point where it was as if her eyes were being penetrated. A frozen winter overcame her eyes as her pupils loomed into the darkness.

During her moment of pain, Li Qiye grasped her hands and calmed her down: “Don’t move, hang in there! You must let the medicinal essence refine your eyes!”

Chi Xiaodie cried out from the intolerable pain: “Ahh!”

Li Qiye kept on shouting at her, telling her not to move, but this pain was indeed insufferable. At this moment, Chi Xiaodie felt as if her eyes were broken and the fear of losing her sight overwhelmed her.
