Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Applying dicine
Ye Shikai flipped through the TV channels, eventually settling on a classic martial arts movie. In truth, his mind wasn’t on the TV; he just didn’t want to sleep and had nothing else to do.
“Co on, have so cantaloupe.” Chen Yuxin sat cross-legged on the couch, her fair skin and stunningly beautiful face compounded by a dangerously seductive bathrobe—enough to make ninety-nine percent of n swoon.
But Ye Shikai happened to be part of that one percent.
Even with Chen Yuxin’s coquettish deanor, the only thing that existed in Ye Shikai’s eyes was the martial arts movie in front of him.
Out of sight, out of mind. Consequently, this created a sowhat awkward scene in the living room.
“Kai, are you still angry about having my n take action?” Finally, Chen Yuxin tugged on the corner of Ye Shikai’s clothes, her pitiful look enough to tug at the heartstrings.
“Xin, let’s consider that matter resolved, can we not ntion it again?” Ye Shikai waved his hand irritably. Today, he had Jeddon transfer five million to each family of the fallen Netherworld Palace mbers. Though it couldn’t bring them back, it still served as so form of compensation.
“Alright, I won’t talk about it.” Chen Yuxin smiled faintly. “Did Grandpa say anything to you?”
Ye Shikai’s body stiffened suddenly; he recalled Chen Yaogzu ntioning that Chen Yuxin almost succumbed to her Heart Demon during cultivation, causing emotional instability. He thought that he should really offer her so consolation.
“Yes, the elder ntioned that if you attack again, he would co out of seclusion to deal with you.” Ye Shikai poked Chen Yuxin’s forehead with his finger, saying with a smile.
“That won’t happen again; I was just too agitated before, so I…”
“Alright, what’s in the past is in the past.” Ye Shikai said dismissively. Although Chen Yuxin claid it was a spur of the mont, he certainly didn’t see it that way. At least, the affair with the anesthetic injection last ti was preditated for sure.
She must have prepared that syringe in advance, keeping it in the drawer.
“Xin, tonight it’s just the two of us, and there are so things I want to say to you.” Ye Shikai placed the fruit plate on the table and let out a long sigh.
“What’s it about?”
“About your cultivation.” Ye Shikai gently took Chen Yuxin’s hand and infused a stream of Inner Strength into her body. As soon as his Inner Strength reached her ridians, he felt a soft yin energy that not only didn’t reject his Inner Strength but slowly absorbed and rged with it, becoming one.
“Yin-based Inner Strength, just like Ji Qian’s,” Ye Shikai murmured.
“Who is Ji Qian?”
“No, it’s nothing.” Ye Shikai hastily covered up.
“That’s not right, tell the truth, who is Ji Qian and what does she have to do with you?” Chen Yuxin pushed abruptly, showing a stubborn expression.
“She’s a friend of mine.” How could Ye Shikai tell the truth? He and Ji Qian had had an actual relationship, but Ye Shikai’s concern wasn’t about being disloyal; it was due to the “ti bomb” next to him.
Chen Yaogzu had just ntioned that Chen Yuxin had a Heart Demon and was emotionally unstable. Agitating her further could lead to trouble if sothing were to happen.
“Friends, huh.” Chen Yuxin slowly edged closer, her eyes scanning over him. Ye Shikai leaned back against the sofa, a guilty conscience flickering in his eyes.
“Xin, you don’t trust ?” Ye Shikai declared “righteously.”
“That’s right, it’s been eight years, and there’s been no shortage of things you’ve hidden. I’ll have Ruoya investigate this person as soon as I can.” Chen Yuxin coldly huffed. “Since they are also a cultivator, they should be easy to find.”
“Suit yourself.” Ye Shikai responded indifferently. Ji Qian was a foreign Main God, it would take Chen Yuxin so ti to uncover anything. But then Ye Shikai had a sudden thought. His expression dramatically changed. Ji Qian was from the Ji Family, after all, one of Yanjing’s four great families—if Chen Yuxin started digging from that angle, perhaps…
Forget it, forget it. Ye Shikai didn’t continue the thought, not wanting to scare himself.
“Kai, it’s not often we co to Jiangnan. Let’s enjoy a few days here before we go back, just like when we were kids,” Chen Yuxin said with a smile.
“Well, I’m afraid that won’t be possible, I still have a lot of things to do. Plus, the Chen Group must be busy as usual. You’re so indispensable, maybe another ti.” Ye Shikai hesitated, then shook his head.
“Alright then.” Chen Yuxin lowered her head in disappointnt, then suddenly raised it as if she rembered sothing. “My great-grandpa gave a tube of ointnt, it’s for rubbing on the body. I’ll go get it now, just wait here.”
After saying that, Chen Yuxin ran upstairs. Before he could recover, she was already back, carrying a dicine bottle, her eyes on Ye Shikai like an Evil Wolf eyeing its prey.
“Co on, take your clothes off,” Chen Yuxin said nonchalantly, placing the dicine bottle on the table.
“Take off my clothes? That doesn’t seem right.”
“How am I supposed to apply the dicine without you taking them off?” Chen Yuxin had just opened the jar, and a strong scent of dicinal herbs wafted through the air. “The Array set up by my great-grandfather causes internal injuries to cultivators, so we must treat both internally and externally, with a dual approach.”
“Then, can I put it on myself?” Ye Shikai tried to dodge, but Chen Yuxin blocked his path.
“No, I’ll do it for you.” Chen Yuxin “rudely” stepped forward and stripped off Ye Shikai’s shirt, revealing the conspicuous scars on his back—his “dals” from his ti in the military. Chen Yuxin was instantly captivated.
“Cough, cough, Xin, are you going to do it or not? Otherwise, I’m leaving,” Ye Shikai hurriedly said.
“You lie down first.” Chen Yuxin got Ye Shikai to lie down on the sofa, ward her hands, and then evenly spread the dicinal mud onto her palms before applying it on Ye Shikai’s back. The black mud was evenly spread, and it felt ice-cold, as if an ice pack had been placed there.
“The predecessor is really sothing, even skilled in dicinal treatnts,” Ye Shikai relaxed gradually as the two small hands slid over his back, not just applying dicine, but also massaging.
“Of course, the strength of my great-grandfather was already unfathomable decades ago. He chose to cultivate in seclusion in pursuit of even higher realms,” Chen Yuxin stated placidly.
“Xin, to be honest, I never wanted to be a cultivator,” Ye Shikai confessed after a while.
“Why?”
“Cultivating brings superhuman strength, but it also draws a Death Sentence, endless danger, and the last thing I want now is danger,” Ye Shikai said softly.
“So why did you start cultivating?” Chen Yuxin asked curiously.
“At that ti, I was a rcenary abroad; there was no choice. If I didn’t cultivate, other cultivators would have killed .” Ye Shikai said helplessly. “By chance, I ca in contact with cultivation and ended up like this.”
