Chapter 1082: Chapter 75 Kind Grim Reaper_2
Zhuo Yun was startled and said, "You mean, Ah Dai he..." The warmth from Yan Shi’s large hand had made her face feel somewhat feverish, but Yan Shi’s words surprised her even more.
Yan Shi nodded and said, "Yes, I don’t know how he did it, but I’m almost certain that Ah Dai is dissolving the murderous intent in his own heart. Let’s just wait. Perhaps, our kind brother will revert to his former self. If that’s the case, it would be wonderful. We wouldn’t have to worry about him anymore."
Zhuo Yun said, "What about the operation tonight?"
Yan Shi frowned and earnestly said, "Miss Zhuo Yun, I know you’re very anxious to rescue the Elf Princess Xing Er from your Elf Clan. We are also very willing to help your Elf Clan fulfill this wish. But frankly, the place Ah Dai holds in our hearts is far higher than that of the Elf Princess. Maybe you’ll be unhappy to hear this, but these are my true feelings. There’s still time to save the Elf Princess, but this might be the only opportunity for Ah Dai to return to normal. So, no matter how long it takes, I will wait, waiting for Ah Dai to wake up on his own, and I hope you can understand me. Don’t disturb Ah Dai. How I long for my brother’s return!"
Zhuo Yun was stunned; she looked at Yan Shi blankly as he stared back at her resolutely, not giving an inch. After a long moment, Zhuo Yun sighed and said, "You! You simply don’t understand others. Do you think I care about little Ah Dai any less than you do? Then let’s wait. More than two years have passed; it won’t matter if it’s another day or two. I’m going back to my room." With that, she turned and walked to her room. When she reached the door, Zhuo Yun turned back to look at Yan Shi and gave him a charming smile, "You’re really a fool. However, I didn’t like the tone you used just now, don’t talk to me like that again, okay?" After saying this, she opened the door with a hint of a blush on her pretty face and returned to her room, leaving Yan Shi standing dumbfounded in the corridor.
Yan Li nudged his completely petrified big brother and said, "Big brother, do you feel there’s a change in the atmosphere between you two? Is she...?"
Yan Shi snapped out of his stupor and rapped on Yan Li’s big head, "Don’t talk nonsense. Go, get a chair from our room, we’ll take turns here to protect Ah Dai. We can’t let him be disturbed." Yan Li rubbed the sore spot on his head from Yan Shi’s knock, grudgingly agreed, and went back to the room. Yan Shi’s heart raced, the smiling glance from Zhuo Yun completely ensnaring his mind. Although Zhuo Yun went back to her room, he felt as if she was still standing by the doorway, smiling at him. That charming feeling not only made his face grow warm but in more than a year of being acquainted, Zhuo Yun’s image had already imprinted itself deeply in his heart, so vividly clear. Shaking his head vigorously, Yan Shi murmured, "What’s gotten into me? Why am I thinking about these things now?"
Ah Dai had been in meditation for a full three days; he didn’t know how many cycles his True Qi had completed, only feeling as though he was perpetually in a warm forge, as if it was nurturing him, indescribably comfortable. Drawing a deep breath, Ah Dai directed the circulating True Qi back into the Silver Body at his Dantian. The Silver Body seemed to have become more sanctified, with silver light flowing through it. Although it was still far less powerful than the three-inch-tall Golden Body at his chest, in terms of Realm, it seemed to be no less than the latter.
He slowly opened his eyes. Although it was daytime, his eyes seemed to capture people’s souls like cold lightning.
Ah Dai was filled with an unprecedented sense of comfort; all the restless and chaotic negative emotions disappeared, and his heart felt very calm. Everything he saw around him was filled with enchanting colors. With just a thought, he landed lightly on the ground, stretching his limbs, full of explosive power from the surging True Qi. Although he wasn’t certain how much of his mentality had been restored, Ah Dai clearly knew that the evil aura from Sword of Hades could not affect him now, and at the same time, his True Qi had also made some progress.
Ah Dai sensed someone outside the door, an incredibly familiar presence. Opening the door, he saw Yan Li sitting on a chair, looking back in a daze, "Ah Dai, you’re awake." Yan Li exclaimed joyfully.
Ah Dai smiled and said, "Big Brother Yan Li, were you protecting me? Thank you so much."
Ah Dai’s warm, spring-like smile brought warmth to Yan Li, who laughed heartily, "We’re brothers, there’s no need for thanks. Come on, let’s go find Big Brother, he’s been worried about you these past few days."
Ah Dai scratched his head and said, "I apologize, Big Brother Yan Li, how long have I been in meditation?"
Yan Li looked at Ah Dai, taken aback, and muttered, "Brother, it’s been over a year since I last saw you scratch your head like that. Big Brother was right; you really have reverted to how you used to be, it’s wonderful, truly wonderful. Big Brother will be so happy to hear it."
Ah Dai too was stunned. Yes! Ever since Bing died, it seemed he indeed hadn’t scratched his head like that anymore. Lost in thought, he was already being dragged by Yan Li into Yan Shi’s room.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, Ah Dai is awake. He’s back to normal," Yan Li shouted excitedly. Yan Shi had stayed outside Ah Dai’s door all night and had only just fallen asleep not long ago. Sleepily, he said, "So he’s awake, don’t bother me, I’m very sleepy." Suddenly, Yan Shi seemed to grasp the meaning behind Yan Li’s words and sat up abruptly; his sleepy eyes cleared, and he fixedly looked at Ah Dai who had just entered the room. With a grateful expression, Ah Dai called out, "Big Brother Yan Shi."
