Chapter 1052: Chapter 1052: Leaving the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle
Qin Sisi leaned her head on Ye You’s shoulder and asked softly, "Your injuries can be healed, right?"
Ye You replied, "They can. I rushed back to see you and only roughly healed my internal injuries. From now on, I will use the power of Wood Attribute Magic to treat it every day. I should be back to normal within a month at the latest."
Only then did Qin Sisi feel relieved. Ye You was so handsome; how could she let these scars ruin his appearance? Fortunately, they could be healed.
After thinking for a moment, she suggested, "Wood Magic isn’t your specialty; why don’t you have Teacher Ru Lin help you with the healing tomorrow?"
"No need, I can manage on my own," Ye You refused Qin Sisi’s suggestion without hesitation.
Qin Sisi lifted her head and asked curiously, "Why not? Teacher Ru Lin’s healing would definitely be much faster than yours."
Ye You looked at Qin Sisi, blinked his eyes playfully and said, "Silly Sisi, my injuries are all over my body. Do you really want me to strip in front of another woman?"
Qin Sisi was stunned, raised her fist, and punched him in the chest, cursing with a red face, "Shameless!"
Ye You gasped softly, his hand resting on the spot Qin Sisi had hit, a pained expression on his face.
Qin Sisi immediately regretted it, asking anxiously, "Are you alright? I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to."
Then she saw Ye You’s pained expression turn into a forced smile, and she realized she had been tricked.
"I’m not talking to you anymore." Qin Sisi pushed Ye You away and turned to leave, but Ye You had already grabbed her first, pulling her into a kiss.
Qin Sisi struggled a few times but quickly surrendered, allowing Ye You to carry her to the side of the bed and push her onto it.
"Sisi, tonight, we..." Ye You’s voice was low and suggestive, his warm breath against Qin Sisi’s ear made her heart race.
She remembered that she had known Ye You for four years now. Even when Ye You was still just a black cat, his desires had already shown, but he continued to restrain himself, even after he lifted half of the curse and gained the capability, he never forced her, wishing to wait until the curse was entirely lifted.
Now that the day had finally come, he was asking for her consent.
Qin Sisi thought for a long time and finally said softly, "Xiao Hei, just once, okay?"
Ye You raised himself up to look at her, his expression somewhat surprised, and asked softly, "Are you still not ready?"
"It’s not that, I just..." Qin Sisi did not know how to explain.
She was willing to give herself entirely to Ye You, to let him understand her feelings, but if from now on they were to share a bed like a married couple, without being officially married, she couldn’t psychologically accept that scenario. Yet, she did not know how to express this to Ye You.
Ye You’s fingers brushed Qin Sisi’s cheek, whispering, "Fool, men are bad; once there is a first time, there will be a second time, a third time, and it will never stop."
Qin Sisi’s face burned hotly. So, what was Ye You trying to tell her? What would happen next?
As she was lost in her thoughts, Ye You let her go, lay down beside her, and said softly, "Since you’re not ready, then let’s wait some more."
Qin Sisi turned her head to look at Ye You and asked tentatively, "Are you mad?"
"No, how could I be mad at you?" Ye You lifted Qin Sisi’s hand to his lips and kissed it.
After a while, he continued, "I was thinking just now, today’s timing isn’t good, I’m covered in scars, looking quite terrifying. I don’t want our first time to leave you with such a bad impression."
Qin Sisi didn’t speak, but she was already very moved in her heart.
Ye You hugged her from behind and softly said, "Let me hold you to sleep, just like you used to hold me."
Finally able to hold you to sleep through the long night, you held me for a year, I will hold you for a lifetime.
Ye You and Qin Sisi stayed at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle for another half a month, during which Master Shuoyu improved Qin Sisi’s weapon. The Moon Spirit Golden Feather was now a six-star weapon, significantly increasing Qin Sisi’s attack power.
Teacher Yirou’s training for Qin Sisi also showed obvious results. Qin Sisi’s physique had become much stronger, and her flexibility and reflexes had greatly improved compared to before. With the application of snake venom-made skin cream, her skin also began to resemble Yirou’s, becoming fairer and smoother.
Ye You took this opportunity to consult Mo Liu on Alchemy, who was now a Fourth-level Alchemist, while Mo Liu was at Level Five. Although it’s only one level higher, the difference is significant.
Similar to advancing in Magic, leveling up in Alchemy becomes increasingly difficult at higher levels. Advancing from Fourth to Fifth level depends on strength and opportunity; some people, despite twenty years of study, cannot break through the shackles of Fifth level.
A good teacher produces good students; Mo Liu’s guidance could save Ye You some detours.
However, the fact that Ye You became a Fourth-level Alchemist at such a young age was already impressive enough to astonish the world.
Mo Liu, not without regret, said, "It’s a pity that you have never taken the official exam; the world cannot recognize your talent."
Ye You fell silent for a moment, then said, "Let’s give it a try then!"
Mo Liu looked up in astonishment. Ye You had been concealing his identity for three years, which was why he had never taken the Alchemist’s exam, since the exam requires one’s real name. Perhaps... was Ye You going to reveal his identity?
"It’s settled then, please arrange it for me as soon as possible, Master Mo Liu." Ye You’s expression was very serious, showing no signs of joking.
Mo Liu paused for a moment and then nodded solemnly.
Three days later, Mo Liu took Ye You to participate in the Alchemist exam. Ye You, having never taken the exam before, directly produced a Fourth-level elixir. Amid the astonishment of the examiners, he was awarded the Fourth-level Alchemist badge.
From then on, the young and handsome His Royal Highness became renowned as a Sixth-level Magic God and Fourth-level Alchemist, and the public opposition against the prospective Sage Ruler, Tian Xiaozi, began to grow clearer.
Feeling that Ye You was about to start a direct battle with Tian Xiaozi, Master Yipiao specifically met with Ye You to clearly indicate that Heavenly Magic God’s Castle would not support Tian Xiaozi becoming the Sage Ruler. However, no one from Heavenly Magic God’s Castle would participate directly in the war; Scholar City was always to remain a land free from the smoke of conflict.
Ye You agreed to Master Yipiao’s request, said goodbye to all the teachers, and left the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle with Qin Sisi.
Over these three years, under the leadership of Chief Puchen, the Panhu family had been carefully conducting clandestine operations and built a complicated and defensively advantageous secret base on Taiyi Mountain, located at the junction of Scholar City, Divine Dog City, and Miaoyin City.
Ye You and Qin Sisi, using this base as a starting point, officially commenced the battle for the title of Sage Ruler against Tian Xiaozi.
