Chapter 1886: Chapter 1905: Fateful Encounter
This shout of anger was like thunder, immediately startling ’Xi Yao’ to a standstill, while Ye Xuan had a peculiar expression, unsure of what interesting things might happen at this destined meeting.
"Are...are you alright?"
’Xi Yao’ hurriedly gestured in front of ’Tai Cang’, indicating that the danger was now gone, and gently placed her hand on his forehead to soothe his agitated divine soul.
Buzz!
The world spun, an eternal moment.
When the concerned look of ’Xi Yao’ entered ’Tai Cang’s’ eyes, his originally ferocious and fierce expression froze, as if he had been petrified.
"Hey, are you alright? What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing ’Tai Cang’s’ dazed look, ’Xi Yao’ asked with concern, deeply afraid that this man before her had injured his divine soul.
Ye Xuan glanced sideways, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth. This truly was a destined meeting, ’Tai Cang’s’ eyes now held nothing but this woman, no room for anyone else!
Tai Cang!
He stared blankly at ’Xi Yao’, his heart pounding wildly, an emotion he had never felt before burgeoning within him.
As if it was destined by Mingming, or perhaps a fated encounter, upon seeing ’Xi Yao’, ’Tai Cang’ realized that perhaps the girl before him was someone he must protect all his life.
At the moment of meeting ’her’, the vast stars descended into dust!
The world sings, peach blossoms in full bloom, upon seeing her, realizing the brilliance!
"Cough, cough, cough."
Ye Xuan untimely coughed three times, his voice immediately startling ’Tai Cang’, but the next expression ’Tai Cang’ showed nearly dropped Ye Xuan’s jaw.
Shyness!
Yes, it was shyness!
’Tai Cang’ shyly lowered his head, not daring to look at ’Xi Yao’ again, where was the previous unruliness, the unsettling sinister feeling?
"Is this...is this the power of love?"
Even though Ye Xuan was well-versed and had abandoned love long ago, seeing someone who feared no one suddenly change due to a woman left him dumbfounded.
"Hello, my name is Xi Yao, what’s your name?"
Seeing ’Tai Cang’s’ obedient and shy demeanor, ’Xi Yao’ instead smiled generously.
"Cang, I’m...I’m called Tai Cang..."
’Tai Cang’s’ voice was as faint as a mosquito, his face embarrassedly flushed, even his neck turning a bit red.
His body trembled, appearing somewhat at a loss, evidently extremely nervous in front of the girl he liked.
"You really are a novice."
Ye Xuan sneered, unable to bear ’Tai Cang’s’ appearance, unwilling to miss the chance to tease him.
"You this...damn guy."
’Tai Cang’ instantly noticed Ye Xuan’s presence, and facing Ye Xuan’s teasing, he almost cursed, but thinking of the girl beside him, he swallowed his words, glaring at Ye Xuan.
"Aren’t you two friends?"
Seeing Tai Cang’s indignant appearance, ’Xi Yao’ asked in a daze.
"I’m not his friend, miss, please stay far away from him. He’s full of tricks, don’t let him fool you."
’Tai Cang’ hurriedly advised ’Xi Yao’, clearly Ye Xuan had once gotten him into deep trouble, almost costing his life.
"Tai Cang, little brother, you can’t say that. Although we ended up seriously injured, didn’t you breakthrough the Heavenly Defying Fourth Transformation during that life-and-death battle?" Ye Xuan said discontentedly.
"Hmph."
’Tai Cang’ coldly snorted, unwilling to deal with Ye Xuan. Although Ye Xuan had wronged him, they had faced life and death together, and ’Tai Cang’ still regarded Ye Xuan as a friend.
"Alright, stop arguing, you’ve just awakened and need to heal quickly." ’Xi Yao’ smiled.
"Don’t worry, miss, it’s a minor injury for me, but disturbing your cultivation, Tai Cang sincerely apologizes."
’Tai Cang’ wanted to stand and bow to ’Xi Yao’ to express his gratitude, but before he could rise, Xi Yao hurriedly stopped him: "Your injuries haven’t healed, don’t move. Also, if you wish, you can call me Xi Yao."
"Okay...okay...then I’ll call you Xi Yao from now on."
’Tai Cang’ became a different person in front of Xi Yao, filled with tenderness, even speaking more gently.
"Sigh."
Ye Xuan sighed helplessly, unsure what to say; their fated meeting ended up in tragedy.
"Ye Zantian, stop being so sarcastic."
Hearing Ye Xuan sigh, ’Tai Cang’ blushed and scolded him hurriedly.
"It’s fine, it’s fine, you chat, you chat."
Ye Xuan wasn’t interested in ’Xi Yao’ at all, for he already knew what would happen in the future; it was destined.
Cultivation!
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, cultivating to heal his injuries, for only once healed could he attempt to break through to the Heavenly Defying Fourth Transformation.
He didn’t have ’Tai Cang’s’ talent, so he could only rely on diligent cultivation to pile up, and the purpose of his return to the Ancient Times was solely to achieve the Nine Transformations Shocking Heaven.
...
Day after day, year after year.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
During these ten years, Ye Xuan had a wealth of Ancient Divine Items to nourish him, had long since healed, and returned to his peak state.
’Tai Cang’ naturally healed his injuries too, successfully stepping into the Heavenly Defying Fourth Transformation, wholly capable of surpassing Ye Xuan in cultivation.
However, these ten years, ’Tai Cang’s’ heart wasn’t on cultivation; he spent almost every day by ’Xi Yao’s’ side, completely becoming a shadow.
After knowing them for ten years, Ye Xuan came to understand ’Xi Yao’ better; she seemed gentle, yet her cultivation was no less than his.
Heavenly Defying Third Transformation!
’Xi Yao’ was also at the Heavenly Defying Third Transformation, though she wasn’t combative, and her Cultivation skills and Dao matched with Heaven and Earth, giving off a natural Daoist Skill feel.
After ten years together, the three naturally became closer, truly fitting the saying of friends at first sight.
After all, the skills and Dao they practiced were considered the pinnacle of Techniques in the Eternal Universe, and usually, when discussing cultivation doubts, each gained insights.
At ’Xi Yao’s’ suggestion, the three became sworn siblings.
Initially, Ye Xuan and ’Tai Cang’ were unwilling.
No need to mention Ye Xuan, as he wasn’t originally from the Ancient Times. Moreover, from what he knew, his presence had already altered their trajectory. Swearing brotherhood, he wasn’t sure what else might change.
’Tai Cang’ was always wary of Ye Xuan since the Great Yan Divine Dynasty’s events nearly got him killed, naturally unwilling to swear brotherhood with Ye Xuan.
Yet under ’Xi Yao’s’ proposal, ’Tai Cang’ couldn’t refuse, inevitably agreeing.
Considering it carefully, Ye Xuan agreed too, as long as the three earth-shattering figures remained undying, nothing significant should change.
The three swore brotherhood, with Ye Xuan naturally becoming the eldest brother. This matter caused endless arguments between ’Tai Cang’ and him, finally resolved under ’Xi Yao’s’ persuasion, reluctantly recognizing Ye Xuan as the elder brother.
’Zantian’ Elder Brother.
’Tai Cang’ Second Brother.
This was how ’Xi Yao’ addressed the two.
’Tai Cang’ reluctantly called Ye Xuan brother, accepting him.
