Chapter 1366: Chapter 135: Blood as the Guide_4
Ah Dai looked into Xuan Yue’s affectionate eyes, his heart trembling. He took her small hand and said softly, "Yue Yue, for your sake, I will definitely cherish myself in the future. No matter what I do, I will think of you, think of your concern for me. Good Yue Yue, don’t be mad anymore. I really know I was wrong." His child-like words dispelled the unhappiness in Xuan Yue’s heart. She stretched out her slender fingers and tapped his forehead, chastising, "You, I really have no way to deal with you. Finish the rest of it quickly." Once again, she picked up the bowl, spoon-feeding Ah Dai bite by bite.
As Xuan Yue fed Ah Dai the tonic, she smiled and said, "Ah Dai, do you know? The Prophet Pu Lin has become quite interesting now. Last night, Clan Leader Yan Fei arranged for him and you to rest in the best room in the village. According to Brother Yan Shi, Pu Lin’s body underwent a great transformation overnight. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have smoothed out, and black hair even sprouted from the roots of his silver-white hair, as if he’d become twenty years younger in a single night. It seems like your blood is indeed a powerful tonic! At this rate, who knows what the Prophet Pu Lin might become."
Ah Dai said in surprise, "So the effect of the Fruit of Past Life is really that good. Yue Yue, if you ever get hurt in the future, I can also give you my blood. Maybe you can retain your youth forever."
Xuan Yue gave him a look and said, "You just finished talking about yourself, and here you go again. I don’t want your blood at all; even if I get hurt, I don’t. All I wish is for you to be healthy and safe. By the way, Ah Dai, last night when you saved Prophet Pu Lin, it seemed like it wasn’t just the power of fresh blood. When your blood had been consumed by about one-third, you were already delirious, and at that time I wanted to stop you, but suddenly, a very mysterious and powerful force appeared from you. It was an irresistible force! It contained a Sacred Aura, but it also seemed to carry a hint of evil. It was that energy that enveloped both you and Prophet Pu Lin. When the energy disappeared, I found that both you and Prophet Pu Lin were in very good condition. Perhaps that energy’s effect was no less than that of your blood containing the power of the Fruit of Past Life. Do you know what that energy was all about?"
Ah Dai said in surprise, "Energy? A terrifying energy? How could that be? Could it be the Sword of Hades? No, it can’t be, for the Spell on the Sword Sheath restrains it, and as long as it’s not drawn, it cannot emit its power."
Xuan Yue shook her head and said, "No, it’s not the power of any Divine Artifact on your body. That terrifying power is unlike any energy form we’ve seen before. When that energy burst forth, a human-shaped energy appeared behind you, seemingly holding a weapon too. From the outside, it looked very similar to your physique, but what it actually was, none of us saw clearly."
Ah Dai scratched his head and said, "Now we can only wait until Prophet Pu Lin wakes up and ask him if he knows anything."
Xuan Yue fed Ah Dai the last spoonful of soup and asked softly, "Do you feel a bit more comfortable now?"
Ah Dai nodded and said, "Much better. The soup may not taste very good, but it’s warm in the stomach. Yue Yue, you should rest for a while. Look, in just one day, you’ve become a bit haggard."
Xuan Yue spoke with annoyance, "That’s all because of worrying about you." She helped Ah Dai lie down and carefully tucked him in, whispering, "Go to sleep. Only with more rest can your body recover faster."
Ah Dai nodded and said, "Then you should also take a nap. I’ll get better as soon as possible so that we can hurry to the Elf Forest."
Xuan Yue held Ah Dai’s big hand and said, "I’ll stay here with you, rest assured and sleep."
Grasping Xuan Yue’s soft hand, warmth flooded Ah Dai’s heart, and he could not help but reach out to embrace her slender waist. Xuan Yue struggled slightly, scolding, "Stop messing around and go to sleep."
Ah Dai gazed adoringly at Xuan Yue’s delicate face, murmuring, "Yue Yue, you’re so beautiful! I, I want to sleep holding you, can I?" Xuan Yue’s face turned red, and she said, "Stop it, of course not, you haven’t even married me yet. If you keep this up, I’ll really leave. Go to sleep, I’ll leave after you’ve fallen asleep."
Ah Dai held onto Xuan Yue’s hand tightly, as if terrified she might leave, his eyes brimming with a plea for her to stay, "But, but didn’t we also sleep together before?"
Xuan Yue became very shy, "Don’t bring up the past, that’s not the same. You, you, I’m leaving now." Having said that, she pulled her hand from Ah Dai’s grip, turning to leave.
Ah Dai suddenly had an inspiration and yelped out loud. Xuan Yue got startled and quickly returned to her previous spot, asking with concern, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Ah Dai sat up with support, wrapping his arms around Xuan Yue’s waist, pleading, "Yue Yue, don’t go, please. I want to see you the first thing every time I wake up. Please, don’t leave me."
Looking at Ah Dai’s sincere expression, Xuan Yue’s heart softened. She helped him lie back down on the bed and said, "Then I’ll sleep with you for a while, but don’t just touch me as you please!" She blushed and lowered her head as she said the last few words.
Ah Dai was overjoyed. Watching Xuan Yue move closer to him, excitement sparkled in his eyes. Xuan Yue closed her eyes, shyly snuggling next to Ah Dai. He quickly lifted the blanket and gently encircled her in his embrace. The fragrance emanating from Xuan Yue’s body intoxicated Ah Dai, and holding her tender body was so comforting. "Yue Yue, I really want to hold you like this for a lifetime. To never ever be apart."
