Chapter 398 – Sword Servant! (1/2)
When he saw her suddenly open her eyes, Yang Ye was first delighted, and then his mind was blank.
He gazed at Xiao Yuxi while she gazed at him, and they just looked at each other like that.
After an unknown period, Xiao Yuxi seemed to be aware of what sort of situation they were in right now. A wisp of disappointment had appeared in her eyes, and then two streams of clear tears slowly seeped out from her eyes. As they rolled down her face that was pure as jade, they seemed like the purest pearls in the world and were crystalline and translucent.
Yang Ye’s heart hurt when he saw those tears. He naturally knew why she was crying. Because anyone would think that he’d taken advantage of her upon witnessing such a scene, so it was normal for her to misunderstand!
Yang Ye lowered his body to peck her red lips lightly, and then he said in a light voice. “Can I explain?”
Xiao Yuxi didn’t speak, and she just gazed at Yang Ye. Besides calmness, there was even coldness and indifference in her eyes!
Yang Ye sighed lightly in his heart, and then he started to describe everything that had occurred since Xiao Yuxi fell unconscious. He didn’t conceal anything because he didn’t want any barriers to exist between them.
As Yang Ye described it to her, there was finally some fluctuation in her eyes. When she heard that Yang Ye had sacrificed his lifespan and was cursed by the heavens as well in order to save her, the icy cold indifference in her eyes had vanished completely. Only crystalline pearls of tears remained in her eyes.
No one had a better understanding of what the curse of the heavens represented. Because her Xiao Clan had been cursed by the heavens for generations. All those from the Xiao Clan who suffered from the curse had never been able to avoid suffering, and this included her and her father. Her father had been born blind, and it was a blindness that couldn’t be cured by anything. On the other hand, she only had less than a year of lifespan when she was born. If her father hadn’t exhausted all the resources of the Xiao Clan to search for treasures to extend her lifespan, then she would have died a long time ago!
Even if she’d survived until now, she had white hair at such a young age….
Now, Yang Ye had suffered the curse of the heavens to save her, and he only had a few years of lifespan left….
When she thought up to here, the tears in her eyes surged out like an endless torrent, and it instantly caused her pure face to be covered in tears!
Yang Ye kissed her tear covered face and said gently, “Don’t cry, I’ve found a method to heal you. When I obtain the Karmic Luck from the Hidden Dragon PaG.o.da tomorrow, it’ll be able to offset the curse you suffer. At that you, you’ll….”
Suddenly, a pure white finger had pressed down onto his lips, and then Xiao Yuxi shook her head lightly before she slowly moved her hand to stroke the greying hair by Yang Ye’s ears. Tears flowed once more from her eyes while she gazed at the hair there which was turning snow white.
“Yuxi….” Yang Ye was about to say something when a pair of hands wrapped themselves around his neck, and then he felt softness touch his lips. After that, Xiao Yuxi’s voice resounded by his ear. “You’re not allowed to exhaust your lifespan with that mutual cultivation technique anymore. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
Yang Ye was stunned. Right at this moment, Xiao Yuxi’s lips pressed down onto his own once more. In an instant, the flames of desire blazed….
......
After an unknown period, Yang Ye walked out of the room with a smile on his face. He raised his head to gaze at a large white cloud that was floating on the horizon and grinned while seeming to be indescribably satisfied. He said, “So there's such a huge difference when we do it together.... Unfortunately, she was only conscious for a short period. Alas, three days is a really long period to wait!”
Even though Xiao Yuxi had awoken, it was only a short moment of consciousness. The injuries throughout her bodies hadn’t been recuperated completely, and her body was still extremely weak. Coupled with the fact that she ‘fought a great battle’ with Yang Ye just now and had been ‘wrecked’ by him, so she’d fallen asleep again. But she was only asleep, and she wasn’t unconscious like she had been in the past!
Yang Ye stood on the spot for a while, and then he seemed to have thought of something. So, he returned to the room An Biru had arranged for him, closed the door, and then summoned the Sword Spirit of the ancient sheathe.
“How’s it going with Mo Qingyu and Mu Jun?” asked Yang Ye. He still remembered the Soul Puppetry technique that she spoke of, and he didn’t want to give up on two extraordinary puppets.
The Sword Spirit nodded slightly and said, “I’ve repaired their souls, and I’ve even extracted their consciousnesses. Now, you just have to act according to the technique I provide you and take control of them!”
