Chapter 2062: Chapter 2062 More than Gratitude
Although Ye Liuyun felt rather helpless, he couldn’t clarify it to Bai Feng.
If he made the poison-cleansing task seem simple, he would appear insincere in helping Zhang Minghui, as if he had attempted to trick Bai Feng into signing the Soul Contract.
Ye Liuyun therefore said nothing at all. When Bai Feng left them alone, he covered Zhang Minghui with one of his long robes before he supported her shoulder and started to absorb the poison in her.
As Zhang Minghui was severely injured, he was worried that she might die before he finished absorbing the poison. Thus, he fed Zhang Minghui a drop of the Vital Waters.
"You’re lucky! Be glad that you have a good master!" Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.
Approximately half an hour later, Ye Liuyun had absorbed all the Devil Qi and poison from Zhang Minghui’s body.
After carefully inspecting with his Golden Phantom Eyes and confirming that there was no other problem, he went to the side and sat in a lotus position.
He had to retain some traces of the poisons and Devil Qi on the surface of his body, giving the impression that he was poisoned and was darkening. Otherwise, his effort to detoxify her would appear overly easy.
Only after waiting for a while that Bai Feng muster her courage to check up on Ye Liuyun’s detoxifying progress using her Divine sense. Upon seeing Ye Liuyun’s state, she went in to check on Zhang Minghui.
"Her poison is gone. When my master comes later with the antidote, do not let her take it. Otherwise, if my master uses poison to fight poison, my efforts would be in vain."
"I’ve already administered a drop of Vital Waters to her. So her injuries are not severe now. She will slowly heal on her own."
"And you should also avoid touching me, as I am now infected with her poison. Just let me detoxify here!”
After Ye Liuyun finished his explanation, he closed his eyes.
When Bai Feng checked on Zhang Minghui, she was not in danger anymore. To Bai Feng’s great amazement, her injuries had also greatly improved.
When Bai Feng glanced back at Ye Liuyun, who was surrounded by a great deal of demonic Qi and poison gas, she was filled with gratitude.
She was worried about how to explain it to Jin Qingsong. At this moment, a disciple arrived outside the door, announcing that Jin Qingsong had already prepared the elixir. As for whether to take it or not, it was for her to decide.
It turned out that Jin Qingsong delivered the elixir through his disciples rather than personally because he was afraid she would continue to weep uncontrollably and cause him trouble again.
Bai Feng finally heaved a sigh of relief. She accepted the elixir and dismissed the disciple.
After she returned, she stayed by Zhang Minghui’s side. Zhang Minghui had mostly recovered from her internal injuries, thanks to the healing effects of the Vital Waters. Coupled with the fact that her genuine energy was now flowing again, she quickly gained conciousness.
"Master? Why am I here?" Zhang Minghui asked in a puzzle.
"Fortunately you are awake. How are you feeling?" Bai Feng, overjoyed at this development, inquired.
It took them a considerable amount of time chatting to each other’s circumstances.
Bai Feng said as she protruded her lips toward Ye Liuyun to indicate his presence, "He saved you! But you can’t touch him now that he’s poisoned."
Zhang Minghui glanced at Ye Liuyun through her divine sense and felt profoundly grateful to him.
As she tried to get up, she realised she was wearing a man’s robe.
"Huh? What’s this all about?" Zhang Minghui asked Bai Feng.
"When he was drawing out the poison to heal you, I helped him undress you. The clothes you’re wearing now probably belong to him!" explained Bai Feng.
Zhang Minghui let out a gasp and her face flushed bright red.
"I had to save your life, so I didn’t care about the matter! Moreover, this young man doesn’t seem to be a lecherous person, he even covered you with his clothes..."
Bai Feng tried to explain to Zhang Minghui as carefully as possible, but at this moment, all Zhang Minghui could think about was the scene of her being seen naked by Ye Liuyun.
"Minghui? Do you hear what I’m saying?" Bai Feng called out to Zhang Minghui when she noticed her being lost in her thoughts.
"Oh!" Zhang Minghui snapped back to reality, immediately pulling her clothes to change into.
As for Ye Liuyun’s robe, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to store it away in her Interspatial Ring.
After pausing at the sight, Bai Feng laughed heartily as she saw Zhang Minghui’s flushed face.
With Zhang Minghui now out of danger, she felt relieved and started to be a busybody about her affairs.
She communicated telepathically to Zhang Minghui, saying, "I think he is a good match for you. Not only is he powerful, but he also sacrificed himself to save you. That must mean something."
"You had no idea how desperate I tried to recruit him earlier. I hoped he would become my disciple! However, being an alchemist, he chose to go to the Pill Hall."
"If you two end up together, you won’t have to worry about cultivation resources in the future..."
"Master!" Zhang Minghui wished she could bury herself in a crack in the ground. She tried to halt Bai Feng from continuing her words.
"Alright then! It’s none of my business! But there is still uncertainty about whether this lad can detoxify himself or not! What a pity if he can’t!" Bai Feng responded through telepathy.
At this moment, Zhang Minghui turned her gaze towards Ye Liuyun. Seeing his pale face, she couldn’t help but feel worried.
Bai Feng stayed by Zhang Minghui’s side a little while more. After confirming that Zhang Minghui was truly fine, she suggested she hurry up and cultivate to recover from injuries.
They brought up the subject of taking revenge, but that would have to wait until Ye Liuyun had detoxified himself. They couldn’t just leave Ye Liuyun here and go seeking revenge, that would be irresponsible of them.
Zhang Minghui paid special attention to Ye Liuyun and she would check his condition after cultivating for a while.
Her first reaction was relief as Ye Liuyun’s face began to brighten. However, as time passed, her anxiousness grew.
She naturally hoped Ye Liuyun would get better. However, she felt embarrassed and worried about what to say when she had to meet Ye Liuyun.
"From what master told me, white-ranking bloodline and an ultra Divine Soul power...Even though he looks rather plain. Well, what’s the use of a good appearance to a man? As long as he is a good person! I wonder if he’s involved with other women and what his temperament is like?"
Zhang Minhui found it hard to focus on healing her injuries as she kept getting lost in her thoughts.
As for Ye Liuyun, he was truly immersed in cultivation. He only retained some of the Demon Qi and Toxin on his face. As for the rest of it, he refined it into his poison source.
To give the impression that his detoxification process wasn’t as simple, he absorbed only a little toxin and Demon Qi on his face at times.
Only when all toxin and Demon Qi had completely cleared off did Ye Liuyun stand up.
Zhang Minhui hurriedly rose after him and hurried over to greet him.
"Chen Feng, thank you for saving me!" Zhang Minghui expressed his thanks to Ye Liuyun. But when she thought of how she was completely naked in front of Ye Liuyun before, her face reddened immediately.
Then, she was stumped on what to say to him next.
"Shengnan, how do you feel now? Don’t mind me. I’ll be going soon. You still haven’t completely recovered from your injury and need to start your healing process right away." Ye Liuyun ignored her reaction. He just felt it was time for him to leave.
He was in Zhang Minghui’s bedroom. Even though the furnishings were simple, it was inappropriate for him to stay here for long.
"Oh!" Zhang Minghui responded and saw Ye Liuyun out.
Only when she had sent Ye Liuyun to the door did she remember that she hadn’t informed Bai Feng yet.
"Wait for a moment, I have to inform my master!" Zhang Minghui stopped Ye Liuyun.
"Do you have to?" Ye Liuyun wondered why she needed to inform Bai Feng.
