Chapter 116 – A Force Of His Own (1/2)
Qin Xiyue took a deep breath before she looked Yang Ye directly in the eyes. “Little Brother, tell Big Sister. Besides being able to control beast kings, have you comprehended the true meaning of the Sword Dao as well?”
Yang Ye’s pupils constricted. Sword Intent was one of his trump cards, and he hadn’t utilized it at all. So, how did this woman know about it?
Qin Xiyue knew the answer when she saw Yang Ye’s expression, and she couldn’t help but start laughing. After laughing for a while, she said, “So Little Brother has really comprehended the Sword Intent of legend. Haha! Little Brother, you really possess extraordinary natural talent!”
“How did you find out!?” Yang Ye spoke in a low voice.
“Because your sword techniques and sword qi are too sharp and fierce. Moreover, you seem to be unable to control it completely, causing traces of it to leak out from the sword techniques and sword qi you execute,” said Qin Xiyue.
“So, that’s the reason!” Yang Ye came to a sudden understanding. Actually, he’d noticed this problem as well, but he was utterly unable to solve it. Because even though he’d comprehended Sword Intent, he was still unable to fully control it, and it was something that gave him a terrible headache.
Yang Ye placed this problem aside and looked at Qin Xiyue as he said, “An explanation, I need an explanation. Otherwise, I’ll try my very best to kill you.”
Qin Xiyue didn’t mind the killing intent emanated from Yang Ye’s body at all. She walked over slowly to Yang Ye, and then slowly stretched out her fair hand to a spot that was just over 10cm away from Yang Ye’s chest. After that, she closed her eyes.
Yang Ye frowned. Even though this woman didn’t seem like she intended to attack, he still had no choice but to take precautions. Right when he intended to step back, Qin Xiyue suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes revealed pain as a red and black string instantly entered into Yang Ye’s body.
Yang Ye’s expression changed greatly, and he didn’t hesitate at all to draw his sword and slash it down towards Qin Xiyue. However, right when his sword was merely a few centimeters from the woman’s head, a mouthful of blood suddenly sprayed from her mouth, and then her figure crashed to the ground.
Yang Ye sheathed his sword and held the woman before he closed his eyes slightly and investigated the condition within his body. The black and red strings from before were coiled around his heart, so his Profound Energy surged as he intended to destroy them. However, when his golden Profound Energy had just touched the black and red string, the woman in his arms immediately started to twitch. She seemed to be suffering extreme pain, and even her delicate face had started to warp.
Yang Ye was shocked, and he hurriedly stopped what he was doing within his body. Sure enough, as soon as he stopped, Qin Xiyue’s figure stopped twitching. After a short while, she gradually opened her eyes, and then she revealed a slightly miserable smile towards Yang Ye.
“What was that?” asked Yang Ye in a serious tone.
“Two strands of my soul.” A wisp of sadness arose on the corners of her mouth as she said, “Since I’ve handed two strands of my soul to you, then so long as I have any intent to harm you or arouse malicious intent towards you, then you can sense it through them at the first possible moment. Moreover, you can utilize those two strands of my soul to make living worse than death for me. You can trust me now, right?”
Yang Ye was moved when he heard this. This woman had actually handed two strands of her soul to him, and this was undoubtedly no different than handing her life over to him!
He immediately asked. “Why did you do this?”
He was truly unable to wrap his head around the reason behind the woman’s actions!
“Earlier, you said you refused to work together with me because you didn’t trust me. Now, even my life is in your hands, so we can work together, right?” The woman’s voice was slightly weak.
“Is this worth it?”
“Even if it wasn’t, what else could I do? If I don’t work together with you, then my mother will definitely be killed by that nephew of mine. My mother will only have a chance at survival if I work together with you.” Qin Xiyue spoke in a sorrowful tone.
“So, it turns out you’re doing all of this for your mother!” Yang Ye came to a sudden understanding. It turned out that the reason this woman was so desperate to work together with him wasn’t that she was doing it for her own safety, and it was for her mother’s safety instead. When he thought up to here, perhaps it was because he experienced something similar, but he suddenly felt that this woman was much more agreeable.
