Chapter 783: Chapter 783: The Promise of the Purple Gold Pearl_1
When Qin Sisi woke up, she found herself lying on the bed in the place she shared with Ye You.
She frowned tightly, rubbing the location of her temples. Her head hurt terribly. Had she suffered a concussion from being thrown around for so long by that giant python?
Qin Sisi turned her head slightly and saw Ye You lying next to her. Her heart softened instantly, but Ye You was frowning deeply as if he had encountered sothing upsetting.
He must have been so worried about her sudden disappearance!
Qin Sisi sighed gently and involuntarily reached out her hand, smoothing out Ye You’s furrowed brow, bit by bit.
Ye You, who was a light sleeper, opened his eyes imdiately at her slight gesture.
"Are you awake?" He grabbed Qin Sisi’s hand tightly, asking with both nervousness and concern.
Qin Sisislightly curved the corner of her lips and murmured an acknowledgnt. Her expression then dimd as she spoke in a low voice, "I’m sorry... for worrying you."
Ye You’s finger covered Qin Sisi’s lips, and he spoke with a rough voice. "The person who should be sorry is ."
As his words fell, Ye You pulled Qin Sisi tightly into his arms.
"I’m the one who brought you to the Demon Sacred Realm. I promised you, and your parents, that I would take care of you, protect you, but I just keep letting you get hurt over and over again."
Ye You pressed his chin against the nape of Qin Sisi’s neck, inhaling the sweet scent emitted from her long hair. He was unable to shake off the piercing pain in his chest from the mory of seeing Qin Sisi thrown onto the hillside by the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python.
After a long while, Qin Sisi pushed Ye You away and quietly asked, "What’s the situation with Jiu Ge?"
After a mont of silence, Ye You said, "I had a talk with him. He said that the Lianfu Clan Leader from the Phantom Spirit family gave him a Golden Well Jade and wanted him to deal with you."
Qin Sisi recalled her encounter with Jiu Ge, and said in a puzzled tone, "But, he seed to not want to kill ."
Ye You’s expression grew darker as he whispered, "Their goal wasn’t to kill you."
"What then?" Qin Sisi found it rather strange. They had gone to so much trouble, but they didn’t plan to kill her. What then was their plan?
Ye You did not answer imdiately, his face darkened with contemplation.
Qin Sisi looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he found it difficult to discuss.
Finally, Ye You barely suppressed the fiery rage within him and explained to Qin Sisi, "Sisi, do you rember what I told you? I had a classmate who was quite experienced with sex. His family owned a bed ant for sexual activities, and he’s been with many won. Because of this, many see him as a bona fide playboy."
Looking into Ye You’s eyes that smouldered with anger, Qin Sisi began to understand so things.
That person Ye You ntioned was Jiu Ge. The Phantom Spirit family did not bring him here to kill her, but to tarnish her reputation.
If they outright killed her, a furious Ye You might retaliate against the Phantom Spirit family, but if she was unchaste with a man other than him, they could pressure Ye You to leave her in the na of justice and morality, giving ng Yu a chance to move in.
Being the daughter of the Phantom Spirit family, Qin Sisi didn’t need to think twice to know that this was connected to ng Yu.
Qin Sisi clenched her teeth, sat up from the bed, and looked seriously at Ye You. "I didn’t do anything I wasn’t supposed to."
Ye You also sat up, pressing down on Qin Sisi’s shoulders, "I believe you."
"So, what should we do next?" Qin Sisi never anticipated attracting such enemies as soon as she arrived in the Demon Sacred Realm, and with Ye You currently here, they dared to plot against her. Once Ye You leaves in half a month, how would she ensure her own safety?
Ye You flipped his palm and grabbed two items from his Portable Space. He said to Qin Sisi, "I got these from Jiu Ge, this 500-year-old Golden Well Jade is just the thing to recharge your body, and this Purple Gold Pearl..."
Ye You stared at the Purple Gold Pearl in his hand, which was glowing with an entrancing brilliance, and sighed, "On the day of our graduation, as we were about to leave the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, I dettached seven Purple Gold Pearls from the string left to
by my mother and gifted them to my seven friends."
"They swore eternal loyalty to
and to the Jiuxi Royal Family, and my promise to them was that if they ever made a mistake in the future, these Purple Gold Pearls could make ands for them once."
"Never did I think soone would use one so quickly."
Qin Sisi glanced at the pearl glowing with a dark, purple light, and asked, "Is this Jiu Ge’s pearl?"
Ye You nodded.
Qin Sisi pondered for a mont before saying, "Jiu Ge was rely a pawn. What do you plan to do about the puppet master behind the scenes?"
Though Ye You ntioned punishing Jiu Ge, he didn’t ntion the Phantom Spirit family. However, in Qin Sisi’s view, the Phantom Spirit family was the root of all evil.
Upon hearing Qin Sisi’s question, Ye You demonstrated an expression of guilt and reluctance, whispering, "Sisi, they will never admit it. Jiu Ge might confess it to , but he will never admit it to the entire Demon Sacred Realm, as they are backed by their respective families."
Ye You gently grasped Qin Sisi’s hand, pleading, "I’m sorry, Sisi. Can you give
a little more ti, please?"
Looking at Ye You’s face filled with self-bla, Qin Sisi could not bear to demand any more and just nodded slightly, but she began to realise the difficulty of her situation.
If the Phantom Spirit family’s initial plan failed, they would certainly devise a new one. The road ahead was fraught with formidable challenges.
The two got up, and after freshening up, Qin Sisi noticed that her clothes had been changed.
They needed changing, of course, after she had fought with the giant Python for a long ti in that strange cave and escaped by grabbing onto its tail, her previous outfit was in tatters.
But...
After so hesitation, Qin Sisi asked Ye You, "Who changed my clothes?"
Ye You smiled slightly in response, "Jing Jing did."
With a sigh of relief, Qin Sisi busied herself with her own business.
In fact, given her relationship with Ye You, she could have accepted it if he had been the one to help her change.
But after the incident with Jiu Ge, Qin Sisi could imagine it. People would definitely suspect that she was a wanton woman who used her looks to manipulate n, and that’s why they devised such a plot against her.
People would believe rumors if repeated often enough. Under such circumstances, Qin Sisi hoped Ye You would be more cautious and avoid falling into any traps laid by slanderers.
Looking at her back, Ye You’s smile was sowhat bitter.
He very much wanted to help her change her clothes, but there were many people present at the ti, and many had already started to view Qin Sisi as a dangerous beauty who exploited her appearances, and he could not ignore her reputation while only considering his own emotions.
So, he could only suppress his concerns, let Jing Jing go in and help Qin Sisi change her clothes, and when soone intentionally made fun of them, he would solemnly declare their innocence.
