Ye You didn’t want to take that risk, even if sothing like that would really happen in the future, he would do his best to delay it, allowing Qin Sisi to have more ti to beco stronger, possessing the ability to protect herself.
After so thought, Ye You coughed lightly twice, leaned into Yun Wang’s ear, and whispered, "Could you go and find your mother, ask her to go out and buy a few sets of won’s underwear."
"Huh?" Yun Wang blushed deeply, looking at Ye You with a mixed expression.
Ye You pretended to be serious, and continued gruffly, "You should buy them yourself, anyway, you need to buy them by this morning."
Yun Wang was in a real dilemma; if Ye You asked him to fight, he wouldn’t hesitate at all. But, His Royal Highness actually asked him to buy won’s underwear. This mission was indeed...
Yun Wang hesitated for a long ti, finally, he said reluctantly, "Well... okay, I’ll go talk to my mother."
He sauntered off towards the entrance of the courtyard. Just before he reached the gate, he saw Jing Jing appear at the doorway.
Yun Wang felt like he had been pardoned; he greeted her with a brilliant smile and loudly declared, "Jing Jing, you ca just as needed. His Royal Highness was just looking for you!"
Jing Jing nodded and smiled in response, "I ca to see if there is anything I could help with."
Ye You had not closed the door and felt quite grateful to see Jing Jing step forward on her own accord.
Jing Jing still looked sowhat pale, but her spirit seed good. She approached Ye You and asked kindly, "Your Highness, has that young lady woken up?"
Ye You nodded in reply, "She has woken up, but... she does not have any clothes to wear. Could you..."
Having said that, Ye You suddenly felt embarrassed. He would brazenly talk nonsense in front of Qin Sisi, but he was tongue-tied in front of other won.
Luckily, Jing Jing understood what Ye You was trying to say. Although she too was slightly embarrassed, she replied as composedly as possible, "All right, I’ll go out and buy so imdiately. Is there anything else that needs to be bought?"
Ye You gave it so thought and replied in a calm and serious tone, "My thinking may be not comprehensive enough, so I’ll need your help. Please purchase all the things that a woman might need."
Jing Jing nodded, then carefully queried, "Does that lady have any dislikes? For instance, any color or scent she doesn’t like?"
Ye You carefully thought back and shook his head, "No, she is quite easy-going."
When he ntioned "her", Ye You’s tone unconsciously softened.
A smile flashed across Jing Jing’s face as she replied, "Okay, I’ll go buy them now."
"Wait a minute," Ye You handed a leather sack to Jing Jing, "Take this."
Jing Jing glanced down and knew it was full of Spirit Stones for buying things. She shook her head and chuckled, "No need, I can afford it."
Without taking Ye You’s Spirit Stone, she turned and headed directly outside.
Seeing her sincere attitude, Ye You no longer insisted. As a talented disciple of the Muyin family, Jing Jing was naturally well-off; however, he made a ntal note of her kind gesture.
Ye You returned to the room to find Qin Sisi watching him intently, her bright, sparkling eyes reminiscent of stars twinkling in the night sky.
His gaze softened, he sat down beside the bed, and whispered, "Jing Jing has gone to buy clothes for you. She will be back soon."
Qin Sisi nodded and asked, "Is Jing Jing also your classmate?"
Ye You responded with a nod, then voluntarily explained, "Jing Jing, Ya Ning, and ng Yu are my three female classmates. We’ve been classmates for nine years, and we have a very good relationship. But don’t worry, we are only classmates."
Seeing through her thoughts, Qin Sisi felt sowhat embarrassed and averted her eyes. Yet, deep down, she still felt sweet happiness.
However, when Ya Ning was ntioned, the image of the lady in white from the royal palace surfaced in Qin Sisi’s mind. Exceptionally beautiful, transcending the re mortal, she wondered how Ya Ning was doing now. Ye You called her "Sister Ya Ning", and she happened to be the Regent Patroness. What a complex relationship!
Upon thinking about this, Qin Sisi cautiously asked Ye You, "Is that Ya Ning, married to your enemy?"
Ye You’s eyes dimd, and he sighed, "She probably did it for my sake."
As expected, Qin Sisi bit her lip, feeling a bit sour. Even though that icy beauty could control her emotions well, the perceptive Qin Sisi could still see hints of tangled emotions in her eyes when she looked at Ye You.
Ye You continued, "My mother is from the Qing Ming family. The current Clan Leader of the Qing Ming family, Ge Lun, is my maternal uncle. Ya Ning is his eldest daughter, which makes her my cousin. Since we are also classmates at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, she is also my class senior."
Ye You’s voice was gentle but his tone was calm, he was just stating facts without adding any personal feelings.
Qin Sisi responded with a slight nod, her feelings of discontent gradually faded. If Ye You was indifferent, why should she worry over others’ attachnts?
Ye You was silent for a while, then spoke softly, "Sisi, aren’t you curious about what actually happened a year ago? What if I tell you now?"
Looking at Ye You, whose eyes were tinged with pain, Qin Sisi suddenly beca nervous and quickly said, "It’s okay if you feel it’s not the right ti yet, I can wait."
She didn’t want him to feel awkward in the slightest. Those intensely painful mories, reliving them amounted to a ntal tornt.
Ye You slowly shook his head, his voice growing even lower, "There’s no need to wait, I promised you that when we reached the Demon Sacred Realm, I’d tell you everything. We’ll go down the road together in the future, you should know."
Looking at Ye You, Qin Sisi’s gaze solidified. She extended both hands and held onto Ye You’s fluffy paw.
The hands of ti turned back a year, as the mories of that brutal and desperate slaughter were replayed once again.
The 16th of July, last year, fell on the 50th birthday of Ye You’s father, Sage Ruler Tian Yu. Ye You, who was training outdoors, planned to return to the royal palace early to celebrate his father’s birthday.
However, for so unknown reason, his return journey took a turn for the worst. He was repeatedly attacked by various Demonic Beasts. Although Ye You had managed to wipe out all the beasts that attacked him, a significant amount of his magical power had also been consud.
By the ti he managed to reach Wang City, it was already the evening of the 15th of July. After all the battles he had fought, Ye You was considerably worn down.
Yun Wang, who was waiting for him just outside Wang City, was both shocked and anxious at Ye You’s state, wanting to accompany Ye You to the feast.
However, Ye You turned him down. The banquet on the night of the 15th was a family-only one. The actual birthday celebrations with guests, where representatives of The Eight Great Families would co to the palace to congratulate the king, would happen on the 16th. It wouldn’t be suitable to bring Yun Wang to a family event.
