Chapter 1424: Lotus In The Autumn Water (1/2)
The group left together, but they didn’t directly go to the Undying Gate. Instead, Li Qiye found a secret place to hide Sima Yujian in order to heal her.
Despite her heavy injuries, Li Qiye had the Heaven Restoration Ointment so this was not a problem at all. After applying the medicine, she was quite shocked since she could feel her wounds recover at a rapid pace. Shortly afterward, both her internal and external injuries were cured without leaving the tiniest scar.
She was moved by this from understanding just how precious this incredible medicine was, yet Li Qiye still gave it to her. Next, Li Qiye took out the Myriad Heavenly Cauldron and controlled its flames. This fire actually liquefied and turned into a scintillating amber fluid.
Fire changing into water was an inconceivable endeavor. This cauldron fire control has reached the apex of mastery.
When this water emitted a wondrous light, Li Qiye ordered: “Take off your clothes and get in.”
She immediately glared at him. Although her eyes no longer had a murderous intent, they were still as cold as ice.
“Hey, since when did you change from Ego King to a big pervert?” She glared at him as well after noticing that Yujian was fine and indignantly said: “You are using this opportunity to take advantage of a young lady! d.a.m.n pervert, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Having said that, she stomped on his foot as usual.
Li Qiye flicked his finger and pushed her outside while flatly saying: “It would be too easy for me to take advantage of her, there’s no need to come up with an excuse.”
Yujian coldly said: “My wounds are healed.”
“I know.” Li Qiye leisurely replied: “I’m not healing but rather expelling something for you instead. Otherwise, don’t think about going to the Spirit Abyss since you won’t be able to hide there.”
She turned silent from not understanding his intention.
“Hmph, you are too weak. You can’t even master the Coiling Dragon Sword yet you still dare to go to the abyss.” He flatly said: “You still don’t know what lies at the bottom of the abyss.”
“What is it?” Yujian still asked despite her emotionless demeanor. In fact, she had done her research on the abyss before attempting the a.s.sa.s.sination.
“They aren’t things you can provoke.” He replied: “You will light up like a candle once you step inside the abyss. With the way you are now, you simply can’t utilize your stealth there. Under its light, they would be able to see you clearly like their reflection in a mirror.”
She had indeed failed this time. In fact, the whole event was still puzzling her. In terms of strength, even with the suppression at work, her G.o.dslaying Dao and other a.s.sa.s.sination techniques along with traps and treasures should have been enough to kill the target.
Recalling the whole incident, it was indeed quite strange. At the climax of the hunt, the enemy seemed to know where she was coming from and laid out a great trap for her. She didn’t understand why they were aware of her location when she was the only one who knew about the a.s.sa.s.sination.
“Get in already.” Li Qiye didn’t want to waste words and ordered again.
When Li Qiye turned serious, even Xiaoxiao — who was spoiled by him — didn’t dare to say anything.
Yujian hesitated for a moment but chose to take off her clothes in a very stiff and unnatural manner. Despite being a ruthless killer, she still felt bashful at times.
Keep in mind that she was completely pure. Not to mention taking off her clothes in front of a man, she had never experienced any intimate contact with others before. Thus, stripping before Li Qiye was extremely embarra.s.sing for an innocent girl like her. Nevertheless, she still took them off despite having trouble adapting.
The entire place lit up with her splendor. Anyone would marvel this scene and be lost in admiration. The bare beauty ahead was too beautiful.
Her fair skin was no different from white jade. Her slender waist, naturally ample b.r.e.a.s.t.s, and her round and plump b.u.t.tocks left no room for criticism.
