Xiao Yunluo stiffly tried an excuse for her nosebleed, but Ye Anping demolished it with just a sentence.
"This is a Water and Wood spiritual spring."
"..."
Leaving the embarrassed Xiao Yunluo standing in place and covering her chest, Ye Anping walked back to his rock and sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes to continue condensing his energy.
He thought that, with Xiao Yunluo's strong-willed character, after her pride took a blow from him, she would leave, and then he could have the entire spiritual pool to himself.Unexpectedly, as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt ripples hitting his chest. Opening his eyes again, he realized that Xiao Yunluo had followed him back.
"You're not leaving?"
"I... I haven't bathed enough! Why would I go?" Xiao Yunluo stammered, but the expression on her face was determined. "Anyway, you've already seen it all, so I'll bathe here with you."
Ye Anping looked at her silently. He didn't want to bother anymore, so he closed his eyes and said, "...Whatever."
Xiao Yunluo was a little surprised. She was worried that Ye Anping would drive her away, and when he didn't, she smiled and walked up to him, slapping the water. She sat down, leaning against his shoulder and hugging her knees tightly.
Now, it was just the two of them in the pool, and the surroundings were very quiet, with only the chirping of cicadas for company.
She secretly glanced a few times at Ye Anping's handsome profile and sighed in her heart. How could there be such a good-looking man in the world? Tentatively, she leaned further on Ye Anping's shoulder."..."
Seeing that Ye Anping didn't resist, she squeezed into him even more, and, squinting at the fog covering the surface of the pool, a bold idea came to her.
Xiao Yunluo shrank back, recalling the pictures in the elegant book, and lowered her head to look at the water.
"Hoo..."
The slight movement of her hands hidden under the water stirred up ripples, spreading and hitting Ye Anping's chest.
Although Ye Anping didn't know what Xiao Yunluo was doing, he felt that the spiritual energy in the pool, originally balanced between yin and yang, suddenly tilted toward yin. He snapped open his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Ah?!" Xiao Yunluo straightened up in a panic when she heard this. "What am I doing..."
"..."
Could it be that this girl just now... Ye Anping narrowed his eyes and then sighed softly. It seemed that he couldn't condense his energy anymore. Thinking about it, it was rare to be alone with this girl, and besides, Si Xuanji had entrusted her to him.
"Sister Xiao."
"Ah... hmm? What do you want me to do?" Xiao Yunluo was as red as a braised rabbit in a steamer, and she didn't dare to meet Ye Anping's gaze.
"Sit in front of me. I'll cleanse your meridians."
"In front of you?"
"Yes, like this." Ye Anping took Xiao Yunluo's arm, pulled her to sit with her back to him, and gently held her waist.
"Ah?! You, you, you..."
"Concentrate and get rid of distracting thoughts."
Ye Anping's voice sounded into Xiao Yunluo's ears, causing her whole body to go numb and lose all strength.
He, he, he... what was he going to do?
Could it be that thing? But... he still hadn't expressed his feelings, wasn't that wrong?
Xiao Yunluo was half reluctant and half looking forward to it. What should she do?
The book said that when you refuse someone, you should do it face to face. She actually wanted to look at Ye Anping's face...
However, while her thoughts were turning over and over again, a strong, stinging pain suddenly spread from the back of her waist.
Xiao Yunluo let out a whimper. "Ah!!"
"Bear with it, it won't hurt you." Ye Anping's eyes were calm, and he kept thinking of Feng Yu Die's face in his mind. "You should read less erotic books. It's messing up with your meridians."
Xiao Yunluo gritted her teeth. "I... I'm not reading that!!"
Ye Anping didn't bother to expose her, so he closed his eyes and used his spiritual energy to form small knives in her meridians, removing the bumps and reshaping the key points. But this time, he was not merciful. What he did to his sister before, he did to Xiao Yunluo now.
The two people's energies overflowed from their bodies and mingled with the white fog in the spiritual pool, turning into two small snakes swimming back and forth in the water.
After a while, when Ye Anping withdrew his spiritual energy, Xiao Yunluo weakly leaned into his chest, her face extremely pale and her breathing unusually fast.
Xiao Yunluo looked up at his face with two tears hanging in the corners of her eyes. She bit her lips lightly and scolded him. "Ye Anping, you hurt me!"
"I'm surprised you didn't scream." Ye Anping smiled and shook his head. "When I first shaped my sister's meridians, she cried so much that her tears and snot were mixed together, and I had to tie her to the bed with a rope to finish it."
"..."
Xiao Yunluo opened her mouth, not knowing how to respond to his words. It turned out that the things Lianxue said before were all true.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that the dry and hot mood from before had disappeared. Now leaning in Ye Anping's arms, she only felt extremely relaxed and clear-minded.
She looked at his chin, hesitated for a while, and then simply squeezed into his arms, only to find herself pushed away by Ye Anping with the back of his hand.
Xiao Yunluo understood why he did this, but she didn't say anything. After a while, she asked, "Ye Anping, what do you think of Sister Li?"
"She is very mature, both mentally and emotionally. Much better than you."
Xiao Yunluo pouted and asked, "Am I immature?"
"Plain childish." Ye Anping said bluntly, raised his right hand, and parted her water-soaked bangs at the center. "To me, Sister Xiao, you are still like a child. Just because I helped you, you're attracted to me, actually falling deeper and deeper."
"Who has fallen for you? If it weren't for your good looks and nice personality, I would have punched you long ago. You almost killed me last time, have you forgotten?"
"Thanks for the compliment."
Annoyed, Xiao Yunluo shook her head and continued asking, "So, Sister Li just said that she wants to marry you, will you agree?"
"No."
"Then, what will you do about the ***Dragon House***?"
"I will cure her eyes, that's all. Before Li Feng died, he entrusted her to me. As for what happens after curing her eyes, she will naturally be able to cope on her own."
"Can you cure her? Sister Li said that even Dr. Zhou can't, so are your medical skills better than his?"
"Dr. Zhou treats the root cause. My method is to treat the symptoms, just so she could see."
Xiao Yunluo looked into Ye Anping's eyes again. Since he said that, he must have a solution. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Ye Anping, I have something to tell you, but you must keep calm, okay?"
"Why do I need to keep calm? Do you want me to marry you?"
*Actually I do, but...*
"You are too narcissistic!" Xiao Yunluo frowned. "It's about your background and your parents."
*My background?*
*My name is Ye Anping, born in the year 2091 of the Immortal Calendar. My father is Ye Ao, and my mother is Kong Yulan. I have dual spiritual roots. Apart from being handsome, I have no other traits.*
But Ye Anping remained serious, maybe there really were some past things not mentioned in the game. After all, there was only one paragraph about him as cannon fodder in the game.
"What is it?"
"You know the ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect, right?"
"Yeah."
"The ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect's Patriarch could be your biological father and Pei Lianxue could be your biological sister."
?
Ye Anping instantly transformed into a huge question mark.
