Chapter 1421: Chapter 147: Beauty Returns to Heart_3
The three of them chatted and laughed all the way, and after nearly half a day of climbing, they finally crossed the sea of clouds and neared the summit of Tian Gang Mountain. Yan Shi gasped slightly as he looked toward the peak, "It won’t take another hour and we should be there. Yun Er, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhuo Yun smiled feebly and said, "The altitude here is too high, I’m not quite used to it. I’ll be fine in a while." Being an Elf Mage, her physical constitution was not very strong; naturally, she experienced altitude sickness at this spot more than five thousand meters above sea level.
Yan Shi lovingly embraced Zhuo Yun and said, "The altitude will be even higher at the peak, Yun Er, you can’t go on like this. Let me carry you later; even your wings seem too tired to lift."
Zhuo Yun snuggled into Yan Shi’s arms and nodded gently. Difficulty in breathing combined with palpitations and ringing in her ears made her indescribably upset.
Moved, Yan Shi activated the Divine Battle Aura within him and slowly transferred it into Zhuo Yun’s body. A pale golden light shone, and under the help of the Sacred Aura-filled Divine Battle Aura, Zhuo Yun’s breathing gradually became much smoother. Seeing Zhuo Yun regain a bit of color in her lovely face, Yan Shi was overjoyed and continued to transfer his Battle Aura, and after a while, Zhuo Yun opened her stellar eyes and kissed Yan Shi on the face, softly saying, "I’m much better, stop using up your strength."
Yan Shi withdrew his Divine Battle Aura, holding Zhuo Yun’s delicate body in his arms, and smiled, "If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, tell me immediately, I’m most afraid something might happen to you."
Yan Li suddenly coughed loudly, and Yan Shi and Zhuo Yun turned to look at him bewilderedly. Seeing Yan Li with an unhappy expression, he said, "Big brother, had I known you guys would be like this, I would have gone back to our tribe. You know I’m still single, yet you keep teasing like this; I’m really jealous."
Yan Shi laughed heartily and said, "Don’t be jealous, if there’s a chance, big brother will surely find you a wife, how about that? We’ve rested enough, let’s continue up the mountain."
Just then, a clear voice rang out, "Who dares to trespass the main peak of Tian Gang Mountain uninvited? Don’t you know this is the forbidden area of the Tian Gang Sword Sect?"
Yan Shi smiled faintly and replied, "We are friends of the Tian Gang Sword Sect, not intruders. Which brother is patrolling the mountain here?"
A whoosh sound followed, and two white figures flew towards their location. Feeling the familiar sensation of True Qi, Yan Shi and his brother felt like they were returning home.
The figures landed ten meters in front of them. Yan Shi looked closely, his smile becoming even brighter. The newcomers were both known to him and Yan Li, a man and a woman, the fourth generation disciples Liao Yi and Lu Yi Yi.
Liao Yi eyed the tall figures before him suspiciously, it had been three to four years since he last saw them. Their hair had grown long, making it hard for him to recognize them at first.
Lu Yi Yi’s temper was still fiery as she demanded angrily, "Who exactly are you? Hurry up and identify yourselves, how can you prove you are friends of our Tian Gang Sword Sect?"
Yan Shi laughed and said, "Yi Yi, you still have the same temper! Be careful, or no one will dare to marry you. Don’t you recognize your Uncle Yan Shi? Remember, your leg was once shattered by Brother Ah Dai? Seems like you forgot the pain after your wound healed!" Upon hearing Yan Shi’s words, the sibling disciples Liao Yi and Lu Yi Yi gradually realized, and Liao Yi exclaimed joyfully, "You guys, are you the bald uncles?"
Yan Shi touched his brown short hair and gave a wry smile, "Yes! But please, don’t call me bald uncle anymore, it really damages my heroic image."
It’s rare for Tian Gang Sword Sect to have visitors, once they recognized the identity of Yan Shi brothers, Liao Yi and Lu Yi Yi were overjoyed. Lu Yi Yi said, "Wow, bald uncle, how could you tease me the moment you see me? Who says I can’t get married, I’m already engaged!"
Yan Shi was startled and laughed, "You’re engaged? Who is the unlucky guy daring to marry you, Little Witch!"
Liao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Isn’t it my bad luck."
Lu Yi Yi’s face darkened, she grabbed Liao Yi’s ear and snapped, "Do you feel aggrieved to marry me? I’m so pretty, how am I not good enough for you? You should know, there are people from the Sword Sect who would line up from the mountaintop to the foothills for me!"
"Ouch, Yi Yi, go easy, you’re going to tear off my ear. Yes, yes, I’m not good enough for you, is that okay?" Under Liao Yi’s repeated apologies, Lu Yi Yi finally let go, huffed, and said, "It’s indeed true that you’re not good enough for me. Hey, Uncle Yan Shi, who is this beautiful lady in your arms? Sister, you are so beautiful! You must be prettier than that sister named Xuan Yue." She had heard her siblings mention the beauty of Xuan Yue, always harboring jealousy yet unsure of how beautiful Xuan Yue really was, but today, seeing Zhuo Yun, couldn’t help but compare them.
Zhuo Yun slipped out from Yan Shi’s embrace, her wings hidden behind her back, and smiled, "I am Zhuo Yun. Are you talking about Yue Yue? Yue Yue has changed a lot from before, how could I compare to her?"
Lu Yi Yi was inwardly shocked by Zhuo Yun’s appearance, which she felt she couldn’t even compare to. If Xuan Yue was even more beautiful, she really was far behind.
Yan Li laughed, "This is my sister-in-law, you should also call her ’Aunt’. Come on, take us back to the sect, we have very important things to report to Teacher Xi Wen."
