Not a single word of nonsense was spoken.
With the addition of those hands, Ye Shu’s body, which had been constantly cracking, suddenly stabilized.
“You…”
Ye Shu was about to speak, but Danxia interrupted him.
“Don’t speak.
Follow the flow of my Spiritual Qi.”
Hearing this, Ye Shu fell silent.
He closed his eyes and quickly found a stream of pale blue spiritual power within himself.
Following this spiritual power, he continuously circulated it through the orbits.
Gradually, he felt his own Spiritual Qi harmonize perfectly with Danxia’s.
They merged within his Meridians, as inseparable as milk and water.
The previously violent Spiritual Qi gradually calmed down.
Ye Shu was completely immersed in this wonderful sense of harmony; he felt as if he were dancing with a beautiful woman, with his Meridians serving as the stage.
The Circumference of Heavenly Stars fully unfolded, and his acupoints lit up one by one.
As the Spiritual Qi circulated, his body seemed to breathe.
Wherever the spiritual power went, his skin would crack inch by inch and hover in the air, revealing the crimson flesh beneath.
No blood flowed, but a terrifying Spiritual Pressure was released.
With every breath, the fragments of skin swayed in rhythm.
“Ugh…
so scary…”
Xiao Bai, standing to the side, was stunned by the terrifying sight.
She covered her eyes with her small hands while using the other to curiously poke at the gaps between Ye Shu’s skin fragments and his flesh.
“Wow!
It’s actually floating!”
Her eyes widened, deeply captivated by this incredible scene.
She couldn’t help but poke at various floating spots with her small hands, having a grand old time.
“Fun, fun, hehe.”
“Where…
am I?”
Inside the room, Lin Qingxue slowly woke up.
Just as she sat up, she saw this bizarre scene, and her pupils instantly dilated.
“Uh…”
Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted again.
…
By the time Ye Shu opened his eyes again.
Three days had passed.
“Qi Refining…
Ninth Layer.”
Three hundred and sixty-one acupoints were now lit, and his Dantian was filled with Spiritual Qi.
However, due to the violent breakthrough, cracks lined the walls of his Dantian, clearly damaging his Foundation.
There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Being aggressive always comes with a price.
Yet Ye Shu didn’t care about his Dantian at all.
He looked up at Danxia, who was full of concern, feeling incredibly strange in his heart.
This isn’t right, is it?
This plot isn’t right, is it?
He stood up abruptly and pointed at Danxia, saying with great distress:
“How could you just save me directly?”
“You should have first had an intense internal struggle.
Then, after several moments of hesitation, you should have recalled the memories of my betrayal in our past lives.
Finally, you should have painfully chosen to stand by and watch me die like this.”
“Then you should have let Lin Qingxue take you away from the Magical Beast Mountain Range and followed her back to the Qingxuan Sect, seeking her Sect’s help to reconstruct your body.”
“During that time, you should have recalled today many times.”
“You should have asked yourself over and over in your heart, then constantly convinced yourself you weren’t wrong, finally ending up filled with guilt and losing your appetite.”
“Then, it turns out I didn’t actually die.
I survived through some lucky Opportunity.
After this incident, I would no longer trust anyone, closing off my heart and focusing solely on the Dao, embarking on a path of blackened revenge.”
“By some coincidence, you would discover that I was actually still alive.”
“Then you would start digging for the truth of the matter.”
“When you finally understood my tragic experiences and the truth, you would be filled with regret, finally realizing you were terribly wrong.
So you’d try everything to make amends.
During this period, you should have some back-and-forth with the Villain to make the readers’ blood pressure soar.”
“When you truly came to your senses and abandoned the Villain.”
“Looking back suddenly, you’d find that I had long since departed, having formed a bond with another beauty as Dao Companions to walk the Great Dao together.”
“And you, left in remorse and pain, would hold the ring that symbolized our only connection to the past and commit suicide on that small hill at the Ye family home where we first met.”
“That is how the Regret Genre process is supposed to go.”
Ye Shu slammed the table, the sound deafening.
“Not like this, where you didn’t say a word, didn’t hesitate for a second, and just put your hand on my back to save my life.”
“And then we actually cooperated with such deep affection, with perfect chemistry, easily resolving the crisis.”
“Even though you wanted to kill me just six chapters ago.”
“Now it’s like we have a great relationship, like a couple having a little tiff.”
“So let me ask you, let me ask you.”
Ye Shu tilted his head to look at her.
“Where is the Blackening I’m missing?”
“Where is the Blackening kit I’m missing?”
“Regret stories aren’t like this at all!
I won’t accept it!
You’ve ruined my chance to become a different kind of protagonist!”
He slammed the table, sighing deeply and staring at Danxia, his face written all over with an expression that said ‘it shouldn’t be like this.’
Faced with Ye Shu’s long-winded speech, Danxia didn’t understand a single word, but she could understand his mood.
It was the feeling of things being completely out of control, a rare display of childish urgency and grievance.
Just like…
When she had just been reborn and wanted to kill Ye Shu, she thought he would break down in tears and make a fool of himself.
Instead, he remained calm and even hit back with a smooth combo of moves, casting her aside without a second thought.
That feeling of stifled frustration when expectations fall through and the script falls apart.
Seeing Ye Shu’s breakdown, Danxia couldn’t help but hum inwardly.
Stinky Ye Shu, now you know how aggrieved your Master felt, don’t you?
Serves you right!
Though she was laughing uncontrollably inside, Danxia didn’t show it on her face.
Instead, she blinked innocently at Ye Shu.
“But Ye Shu…”
“We are still Master and disciple right now.”
Like Garen buying Last Whisper—silenced and broken.
That one sentence forced all the words Ye Shu was about to say back into his stomach.
He looked at the innocent-faced Danxia, speechless.
After a brief silence, he still opened his mouth and whispered:
“Thank you…”
His voice was very soft, almost inaudible.
Danxia, however, was unwilling to let this hard-won victory go.
Her eyes widened suddenly, and she cupped her hand to her ear like a megaphone, leaning in exaggeratedly close to Ye Shu’s face with a strange smile:
“What did you say?
The sound of the self-detonation was too loud, I didn’t hear you clearly.”
This person…
Ye Shu’s lip twitched.
It felt like having a long cold war with his mother at home, only to suddenly lose his footing and have to say thank you…
He turned his head away and said thank you again, still a bit awkwardly.
This time his voice was louder, and even Xiao Bai heard it.
“That’s more like it.”
Danxia stood up triumphantly and patted his head.
“Be good now~”
“D-Dammit!”
This is the last straw!
How could Ye Shu endure such a grievance?
He clenched his fists, stood up abruptly, glared at Danxia, and stepped forward…
bypassing her illusory figure.
He walked over to the sleeping Lin Qingxue and kicked her awake.
“Get up.
Fight me.”
