Chapter 267: Senior Brother, Was It All a Blur?
A light snow quietly arrived, covering the rooms of the Yun Manor in a new coat.
On the bed in the bedroom, Ye Anping’s eyelashes trembled slightly, his consciousness gradually returning. He felt refreshed, perhaps for the first time in years, he had slept until he woke naturally.
He held his breath and opened his eyes, forcing himself to sit up from the warm covers as usual.
However, as soon as he sat up, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and a throbbing pain in his head.
“Tsk…”
He frowned, covering his forehead, and looked around at his surroundings.
Ancient porcelain vases with traces of age, an exquisite screen embroidered with a beauty dancing with a sword, a red sandalwood table and chairs…
Without a doubt, this was the private room Yun Yiyi had arranged for him. But Ye Anping dimly remembered that Yun Yiyi had drugged him last night…
After that, his memory became a bit hazy.
How did I get back here?
Could all that had happened before just be a dream?
Ye Anping felt a sense of unreality. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he took a deep breath and moved off the bed. The moment he saw the clothes he was wearing, he gasped sharply.
“Hiss—”
His plain cotton linen undergarments were stained with blood, as if he had been through a battlefield. A stinging itch also spread across his chest and back.
?
Ye Anping, uncharacteristically flustered, quickly got off the bed and hurried to the full-length mirror in the corner of the room. He untied the fastenings of his clothes, took off his outer robe, and looked at the person in the mirror.
The buff chest of the person in the mirror was covered in rows of teeth marks. Some of the bites had even broken the skin and were still oozing blood.
However, one could tell that the person who bit him had quite neat teeth, small and delicate, with a pair of small fangs…
“… …”
Ye Anping was stunned for a moment, then turned sideways and looked behind him. While his front was covered in teeth marks, his back was a series of scratched bloody trails, and his back neck was also a mess…
One, two, three, four… a total of twelve hickeys.
He vaguely remembered that he had managed to retain a sliver of rationality at the beginning. But in the middle, when Yun Yiyi cried and begged him for mercy, that last shred of reason was kicked out of his mind by instinct, and then…
“She wouldn’t have been… by me…”
Ye Anping pressed his temples hard, trying to recall the last scene, but his mind was a chaotic mess. He couldn’t remember anything. However, looking at the sunlight on the window, he felt a little relieved.
If something had truly happened to Yun Yiyi, he would definitely not have woken up in this room. The next morning, when the servants discovered it, they would have immediately called the Sword Sect disciples to escort him to the Heavenly Prison.
“Hoo…”
Ye Anping let out a soft sigh. At this moment, Xiao Tian’s voice came from behind him:
“Anping?!”
Xiao Tian had just returned from Yun Yiyi’s side. While Ye Anping was unconscious, it had been shuttling back and forth between them, calling out to Ye Anping, then going to Yun Yiyi’s place, kicking her face, and calling her a “bad woman” for a good half day.
It flew in front of Ye Anping and said:
“Anping, how are you feeling? Go back to bed and rest. It’s not your fault for what happened yesterday; it’s all my fault. If only I had discovered that something was put in the tea earlier… Hmph!! That bad woman!”
Who exactly took advantage of whom?
Watching Xiao Tian stomp its feet in the air angrily, Ye Anping looked at the injuries Yun Yiyi had inflicted on him and replied:
“I’m fine. These injuries will heal with medicine, and they won’t leave scars.”
Xiao Tian pursed its lips slightly, staring intently at Ye Anping’s expression.
The Heavenly Scroll of the Dao mentioned that once, a person who possessed the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao was captured and taken back by an elder from the Hehuan Sect in the Eastern Domain. They were exploited by several Hehuan Sect elders for nearly a year before finally escaping. Afterward, they developed a strange illness of “fear of women,” which led to inner demons during Nascent Soul Formation, causing their spiritual脉 to shatter and resulting in death.
It was quite worried that Ye Anping might suffer the same fate.
No matter what, it had to guide him!!
“Anping, it’s really fine! Just pretend last night was a nightmare. There are good girls and bad girls in the world, so don’t start hating girls because of what happened yesterday. Think about Yu Die, how cute she is~”
?
Ye Anping twisted his brows: “Cute?”
“Ah… not cute?” Xiao Tian paused, blinked, tilted its head, and said, “Then, if that doesn’t work, think about your Junior Sister. Surely you don’t find Pei Lianxue not cute, do you?”
Ye Anping sighed slightly, waved his hand, and took off his blood-stained clothes and pants, changing into a new set of clothes.
“I’m really fine. I’m more worried if Eldest Miss Yun is okay.”
“Why are you worried about her?” Xiao Tian frowned and said, “She absorbed a lot of your Yang energy yesterday; she’s about to break through to Late Foundation Establishment now.”
“Hmm? She’s about to break through?”
“Yes, yes, you were… all night yesterday…”
Xiao Tian blushed slightly, shook its head, and approached Ye Anping, placing its small hands on his chest. It closed its eyes and felt for a moment, a look of confusion on its face.
It had originally thought that Ye Anping’s spiritual energy had been drained by the “golden-haired fox spirit,” but now it discovered that Ye Anping…
“Hmm? Anping, you had so much Yang energy absorbed from you, why hasn’t your cultivation decreased but instead increased?”
“… …”
Hearing this, Ye Anping paused. Now he understood why Xiao Tian thought he had been taken advantage of by Yun Yiyi.
It seemed that after taking the medicine yesterday, the settlement for killing Yun Kunwu had arrived. Then, by chance, through dual cultivation, the pure spiritual energy was sent to Yun Yiyi.
Ye Anping quickly submerged his spiritual sense to inspect his meridians. Largely because of that Heavenly Lotus Seven-Line Flower from Yun Yiyi, his meridians were now more refined and sturdy than before.
If this was considered a transaction, he had profited.
Qi Cultivation is easy, refining meridians is difficult.
Moreover, what he lacked the least right now was pure spiritual energy.
The pure spiritual energy that ordinary cultivators needed to meditate and cultivate for months, or even years, was merely the reward for one settlement.
In the current situation, when the next settlement arrived, he would be able to break through directly, without having to find a place to consolidate for half a year or a year to reach Late Foundation Establishment, saving a lot of time.
“Anping, what’s going on?”
“It’s a special constitution.”
“What constitution?” Xiao Tian’s eyes lit up, “Tell me quickly!”
“No.”
“Aiya~ Tell me~” Xiao Tian circled Ye Anping, “Tell me, tell me, tell me…”
Ye Anping’s face was dark. He waved his hand to drive it away, then took out a new set of clothes from his Storage Bag, washed his face, and applied medicine to bandage his wounds.
After he changed into his clothes and walked out of his bedroom onto the veranda of the Yun Manor, he saw Huang Quan rushing towards him from a distance, looking anxious.
“Son-in-law! Son-in-law!! It’s bad!”
Hearing this, Ye Anping thought something had happened to Yun Yiyi and quickly asked:
“What is it? Has Eldest Miss Yun encountered some trouble?”
“Ah…” Huang Quan paused, lowered her head, and looked at Ye Anping’s face, “Son-in-law, what exactly did you talk about with Miss yesterday? Miss just told this servant that she doesn’t want to marry you anymore and wants you to return to the Hundred Lotus Sect…”
Ye Anping was stunned for a moment and asked:
“Where is Eldest Miss Yun now?”
“She’s in the Main Hall. Son-in-law, please go and persuade her… Miss made a mess of the Main Hall last night, with vases and ceramics shattered all over the floor, and the table was also kicked over by Miss. This servant has never seen the Eldest Miss get so angry in my life. Son-in-law, what did you say last night?”
“Nothing… I’ll go take a look.”
