“ng Qi.” Yun Qingyan put her down, “Let’s go back.”
“But Xiao Qi…”
“Xiao Qi will be fine.” Yun Qingyan’s tone was flat, and he began walking towards the direction of the manor.
“But…” ng Qi frowned. She never doubted what Yun Qingyan said. Never in the past, and never will in the future.
Stood in place, ng Qi stared at Yun Qingyan’s gradually drifting figure. Clad in a white robe, the man looked both lonely and majestic under the starlight.
“What?” Yun Qingyan paused his steps. He turned sideways and faced ng Qi, “You don’t believe ?”
ng Qi quickly shook her head. The worry on her face was still there, but her gaze towards Yun Qingyan was as clear and clean as ever, without a shred of doubt.
“Then co with .” Yun Qingyan repeated.
ng Qi still didn’t move. She kept looking towards Yun Qingyan, staring straight into the latter’s eyes. Her lips quivered and pursed, as if wanting to say sothing but were too afraid to. anwhile, her heart was pounding hard. A terrifying guess was hitting ng Qi’s mind. She desperately tried hard to suppress it, but the guess was taking root and sprouted tall with each second’s passing.
“So, Sovereign Qingyan…” ng Qi stamred.
“Hmm?” Yun Qingyan raised his eyebrows as he lightly turned his body. His deep eyes t the blue-robed girl’s gaze.
ng Qi stared at him in a daze. The guess that was completely preoccupying her mind made her heart pound even faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. “W-well…” ng Qi tried her best to speak coherently, “Xiao Qi, he… he is also a mber of your celestial demon White Tiger Clan.”
“Oh.” Yun Qingyan nodded expressionlessly.
“Although he looks still a cub, but he… he looks just like you!” ng Qi said again.
“I know.” Yun Qingyan remained expressionless as he nodded again.
“Sovereign Qingyan…” ng Qi took a deep breath. She looked at Yun Qingyan’s perfect facial features. The starlight gave him a layer of ethereal color, but also made him look even more handso under the night curtain.
ng Qi suddenly asked, “Are you Xiao Qi?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, ng Qi’s cheeks beca hot, and before Yun Qingyan could answer, her face had turned completely red. She did entertain such thoughts just a while back, but the Yun Qingyan she knew was too strong, and she couldn’t connect the sickly Xiao Qi with a powerful man who could kill a nirvana fiery eagle in just one hit. After all, ng Qi had personally examined Xiao Qi’s injuries and knew how severe his condition was. So ng Qi had never thought in this direction before, and when she finally had this guess, she was quick to deny it for being ridiculous.
When Yun Qingyan agreed to help her find the little white tiger, she was even more sure that he could not possibly be Xiao Qi.
But now……
He said to return, and that Xiao Qi is fine. Sovereign Qingyan was not such a ruthless person who ignored the life and death of others. He never was!
The idea that ng Qi had overthrown suddenly appeared again with a vengeance, rooting even deeper than before. ng Qi’s cheeks flad red hot, as if ready to emit smoke. Still, she raised her head slightly and stared with great intent at Yun Qingyan.
Under the starlight, the white-robed man’s eyes shone even brighter in comparison.
“Do you wish that I am?” After a mont of silence, Yun Qingyan asked calmly.
“Huh?” ng Qi didn’t quite understand. What did this have anything to do with her wish?
“ng Qi.” The corners of Yun Qingyan’s lips lifted into an inscrutable smile. Seeing her dazed and clueless face, he felt the need to remind her of her past deeds.
“Think about it. What have you done to Xiao Qi in the past?” Yun Qingyan said.
“Ah?” ng Qi was startled, and past mories flew across her mind. When they first t…
W-wait a second! Their first eting! As if struck by lightning, ng Qi stood in a daze. When they first t, she…she seed to have…
ng Qi rapidly looked away, not daring to continue eting Yun Qingyan’s eyes. Her cheeks, which were already deep red previously, flad even hotter as if about to explode, and even her temples throbbed furiously.
“ng Qi.” Yun Qingyan slowly walked to ng Qi. Even with her head down, the girl could see the black boots stopping in front of her. Following Yun Qingyan’s movents, the hem of the white robe swayed gently.
“Xiao Qi is definitely doing fine. He is very safe now.” Yun Qingyan lowered his gaze, taking in the view of the silky smooth hair and the fair, tender neck. There was a trace of laughter in his eyes, and even his lips hooked up into a deeper smile.
“Do you understand now?” Yun Qingyan asked.
“Y-Yes!!” ng Qi’s voice trembled as she hurriedly answered.
“Now, will you return with ?”
“Yes, yes, yes…” ng Qi repeated chanically.
“Let’s go.” Yun Qingyan turned around.
ng Qi was still unmoved, but her eyes quickly swept across Yun Qingyan. She hesitated. If she ntioned this issue, she would inevitably bring up the embarrassnt of their first eting again. However…
“Sovereign Qingyan.” ng Qi finally called out.
“Hmm?”
ng Qi paused for a mont, but finally blurted out: “Y-your injuries…is it better now?”
Now ng Qi had gotten his confirmation, she finally understood why Yun Qingyan always sounded very tired and seed a little out of breath every ti.
“It’s okay for now.” The smile in Yun Qingyan’s eyes deepened, “Thank you for your concern.”
“I’m glad…” ng Qi said again. From the corner of her eyes, ng Qi could see Yun Qingyan’s hand, with slender fingers and neatly trimd nails, hanging by her side. What did he say ‘for now? ng Qi was confused. Did he an that there would be no problem when they were staying at Starfallen Sea for now, but that he hasn’t been cured? Would he allow her to examine his internal injuries?
ng Qi’s fingers twitched slightly. When she found Xiao Qi that day, he was already injured so badly. His spiritual sea seed to be torn into pieces, and she could find any ford spiritual sea in his body at all. That’s why she thought that the little white tiger was barely a cub.
From Su Junmo’s endless chatter, ng Qi learned that the spiritual seas of the celestial demon were sowhat different from that of the human cultivators of the Three Thousand Worlds. Once celestial demons reached adulthood, their spiritual sea would beco as tough as diamonds. No matter how badly they were injured, it was almost impossible for their spiritual sea to fall apart completely.
Once the spiritual sea of a human cultivator was damaged so much that it broke apart, their cultivation base would instantly dissipate into nothingness, leaving no possibility of recovery unless on the hand of a dical cultivator in the Heaven realm. But demon cultivators were different. The spiritual sea of an adult demon cultivator was extrely difficult to destroy. Look at Su Junmo, for example. In ng Qi’s previous life, the white fox was injured so badly that almost the entire space of his spiritual sea was parasitized by the immortal devouring vine, but the spiritual sea itself was still very intact. After ng Qi healed him, Su Junmo recovered very fast.
Because of this reason, when ng Qi didn’t find a spiritual sea inside Xiao Qi’s body, she automatically assud that the little guy was a young cub. But what about now? Had Yun Qingyan’s spiritual sea been repaired? He said there is no problem for the ti being; was he the sa as Ji Wujiong, in that he had periods of weakness because of the damage in his spiritual sea?
