Chapter 910: Isve seen it all ages ago (1/2)

“Han Yunxi, if I remember correctly, it’s time to change your dressing for today!”

Hearing the familiar tones, Han Yunxi turned around and saw Long Feiye had somehow appeared behind her with a cold and unhappy expression. She glanced at the door, then the window, but saw that both were shut tight. How did he get in?

After all, as her internal energy increased, her sensitivity was improving too. She wasn’t as blind to her surroundings as before. When Long Feiye channeled internal energy into her body, he had taught her to be aware of surrounding dangers. She learned very quickly, as it was a skill that focused on concentration.

“When did you come in?” Han Yunxi asked.

Long Feiye carried over a chair and some ointment to sit by the bathtub. He tugged on her beautiful white legs, cutting Han Yunxi’s further questions off as his coarse hands cupped her calves. She stiffened involuntarily as she felt a tremor from her toes to the top of her head. They’d had more intimate contact than this, but she still didn’t know how to deal with his careless touches.

Long Feiye is a poison, Han Yunxi thought to herself, A poison without a cure, like the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion. I have it, but I can’t break through it! Sucha poison had already seeped into her very bones and made her a lost cause!

Long sat with head and eyes lowered as he carefully cut away her bandages. Han Yunxi was reluctant to voice any of her questions before his quiet face. But soon enough, Long Feiye gave her a glance.

“If you’re tired, just close your eyes for a bit. I’ll wake you when I’m done.”

But Han Yunxi’s sleepiness had long been banished by his presence. She looked at him doubtfully. “Have you been waiting for me long?”

The doors and windows were shut tight and she hadn’t heard any sound when she entered: the only explanation was that this guy had slipped in ages ago and only shown himself now.

“Mhm,” Long Feiye admitted openly.

“You...just then, you…” Han Yunxi huffed. “Why didn’t you come out earlier?!” In other words, if he had revealed himself earlier, she wouldn’t have gone to take a bath and exposed everything to him.

Despite her veiled meaning, Long Feiye’s answer was blunt. “I’ve seen it all ages ago.”

Han Yunxi had no idea what Long Feiye truly meant by “long ago,” because the earliest time in her memory was their time at the hot springs outside of the battlefields. She didn’t want to discuss that with him now and immediately changed the subject. “Weren’t you going to see Chu Tianyin? Why haven’t you left yet?”

“I’ll leave tomorrow, but I came to see you after remembering about your leg dressing,” Long Feiye replied.

“Oh,” Han Yunxi glanced at him, a little delighted.

“I heard you’ve already received the East Valley Private Bank?” Long Feiye asked.

“News sure travels fast,” Han Yunxi smiled helplessly. Most people in Myriad Merchant Hall still had no idea themselves. “Do you know what Golden Wing Hall’s up to?”

“Do you want me to help you?” Long Feiye asked back. He knew that for Han Yunxi to control the Di Clan, she’d have to start with Myriad Merchant Hall first.

Han Yunxi nodded without hesitation. Why would she refuse when someone was here who could help her? Her so called pride and tsundere[1] tendencies were unnecessary in front of Long Feiye.

Long Feiye couldn’t help but laugh. He had assumed that this woman would refuse all aid from him without hesitation. Despite this, he still rejected her request mercilessly. “I won’t help you within these next 10 days.”

He had already yielded enough on this matter, so why would he do more to push Han Yunxi towards the West Qin faction? Impossible!

“Stingy!” Han Yunxi grinned back.

“I can help you with other things?” Long Feiye offered.

“Other things?” Han Yunxi asked quickly. “Like what?”

Long Feiye couldn’t help laughing out loud again. “Like picking you up.”

Han Yunxi gave a start before her face flushed. She couldn’t speak for the next few moments as Long Feiye continued to laugh. Although she graciously declined, he still picked her up princess style. Fortunately, she managed to grab a towel to cover herself--and her face at the same time.

Long Feiye placed her on the bed, where Han Yunxi quickly dried herself off and wrapped herself under the covers. He was quite well-behaved and didn’t tease her beyond grinning at her from the edge of the bed. Compared to her ever elegant self, he much preferred her lost and confused, shy and bashful like a young girl. It was a sight reserved for his eyes alone.

Han Yunxi looked askance at him and felt a little sorry. She scooted in side and left him some room. “It’s almost daylight, you should sleep a bit before you go.”

How was she to know that he had no plans to leave the black markets at all? She added, “You’ll be running about tomorrow again, so hurry up and take this time to rest.”

Long Feiye laid down and Han Yunxi scooted over to grasp his arm as she snuggled up against him. Even she didn’t know when she’d started to depend on this man. She thought she’d only see him again after 10 days, but here he was after one. That’s so nice.

Long Feiye’s original plan was to come and channel more internal energy into Han Yunxi’s body, then tutor her a bit in her needle attack methods. But seeing her act like a little chick reluctant to part, he set aside the martial arts lessons.

“Sleep,” he said. “I’ll leave after it gets light.”

Han Yunxi rubbed against him and felt his familiar warmth, feeling very satisfied. But right before she fell asleep, she suddenly remembered something. Her head snapped up as she said, “Long Feiye, why do you think Tang Li hates Ning Jing so much?”
