Chapter 643 – The 2nd and The 3rd! (1/2)
Ancient Domain City.
Yang Ye’s expression changed when he saw Ding Shaoyao’s figure on the bed. Because the vitality within her was actually flowing away incessantly. Her condition was much more severe than he’d imagined!
Ding Shaoyao slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Yang Ye, and said, “I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you one last time!”
Yang Ye walked over to the side of her bed and said, “I’m sorry. I was careless.” He hadn’t expected that the Exalted Han Empire would act against Ding Shaoyao and the other important figures of the southern territory, and he’d only thought about his younger sister and wives.
Ding Shaoyao shook her head slightly and said, “It was I who underestimated the Exalted Han Empire’s strength, and I underestimated their resolve as well.”
Yang Ye took her hand, and the violet profound energy within him flowed slowly into her. However, she said, “It’s useless. Actually, my injuries aren’t very severe. The reason I’m in such a state is because the disease I suffer from has resurfaced.”
“Disease?” Yang Ye frowned.
She explained, “I’ve been suffering from some sort of unknown and strange disease since I was born. The speed the life within me flows away is many times faster than an ordinary person. Based upon the original circ.u.mstances I faced, I wouldn’t have been able to live past the age of 10. However, I obtained a fortuitous encounter when I was young, and it allowed me to live until now. Actually, I’m already very satisfied.”
“What fortuitous encounter? Was it a treasure or something else?” asked Yang Ye.
She gazed at him for a short while before she grinned, “Are you afraid that no one will be there to deal with the southern territory for you if I’m gone?”
Yang Ye said, “People say I have very few friends. Actually, how many would dare to become friends with me all along the path I’ve taken? My enemies were once the Flower Palace and Origin School. Would anyone in the southern territory dare to become a friend of mine when those two colossi were my enemies? That would be like courting death.
“Now, my enemies are even stronger…. The Exalted Han Empire and the Hallowed Grounds. So, I have even fewer friends. I don’t want to lose the few friends I have.”
She said, “Your character is one that’s too rigid, and you don’t know how to be tactful at all. The first thing you think about when something displeases you is to deal with it with death and destruction. Just think about it, you even almost killed me that day. So, would anyone dare to become your friend?”
Yang Ye laughed bitterly and said, “I knew you would refuse to let that go.”
She said, “The thing that worries me the most is those forces that have converged in the southern territory. You have sufficient strength and can deter them, but fully merging them into a single whole and dealing with the conflict of interests between them isn’t a simple thing at all. Moreover, you clearly lack the ability to do so. Amongst the people I know, only Qin Xiyue is barely capable of it. But she’s a member of the Grand Qin Empire, and there are too many forces that are linked to her, so she isn’t suitable for the job. So, I….”
“You’ll be fine!” Yang Ye interrupted her while the violet profound energy within him surged incessantly into her body and ceaselessly cleansed her meridians.
“No….” She was just about to say something when her eyes suddenly opened wide, and she gazed at him with disbelief. Because she sensed that the rate her body was losing its vitality was actually slowing down!
Yang Ye heaved a sigh of relief because his violet profound energy was effective. If it made no difference, then he would really not know how to save her.
“How did you do it?” asked Ding Shaoyao.
“It’s a secret. Only my wives know the answer. Do you want to know as well?” Yang Ye joked.
She replied with a question, “Do you want me to?”
Yang Ye was speechless.
Ding Shaoyao chuckled as she gazed at Yang Ye’s slightly embarra.s.sed face and said, “You have enough wives. I don’t want to become one of them.”
Yang Ye didn’t dare to say anything, and he just concentrated on sending his profound energy into her body.
She suddenly asked, “What do you intend to do after this?”
“I intend to take it one step at a time!” said Yang Ye.
