Chapter 62: Isn’t that… Lord Yun?

He could feel the cold, unusually soft hands that had rough calluses on them because of wielding swords daily.

He has always been envious of those hands, but now, the emotion he felt wasn’t just envy, it was something more than that.

“Relax, it’s not like I’m gonna eat you. I told you before, and I’ll tell you again in case you feel uncomfortable with me. I absolutely don’t have any intention towards you in that way, so don’t feel pressured and just focus on cultivation.”

Yun Shu roughly indicated Bai Yunxuan that even if he let his guard down and focused on cultivation, Yun Shu wouldn’t touch him in that way.

However, a strange silence fell over the area immediately after that, which made Yun Shu feel somehow uncomfortable.

Was that not effective?

“… I see. I know you don’t, My Lord. I’m alright, there is no reason for me to suspect you or anything. I signed the contract because I believe you. Pardon me, I wasn’t able to focus for a while. I’ll clear my mind and pay attention from now on.”

Bai Yunxian’s voice was light, but Yun Shu was feeling very pressured for some reason.

Is it just my imagination that he seems upset? Or is he really prepared?

Whatever it was, to Yun Shu, it didn’t matter for now as she sat down behind Bai Yuncian and started circulating his Qi, while Bai Yunxian also closed his eyes and started to focus.

After more than an hour, Bai Yunxian’s body was sweating profusely as his brows were knitted tightly. It’s predictable that his body was in extreme pain and his mind was trying to concentrate to it’s best.

“Don’t lose focus, don’t let your inner demon get you. Just relax and move, feel your power.” Yun Shu was also having a hard time opening his meridians after it went dry for so long.

But it was still possible, and Yun Shu didn’t lose hope.

It the plot line, the person who helped him open the meridian wasn’t Yun Shu, but someone else.

If she were to leave things to go in its own flow, it will take a long time before he gets strong, and Yun Shu was trying her best to push the plot further. That’s why she decided to take the rolls of other people away and use them to her advantage!

Not only would she snatch other people’s opportunity, if possible, she will take many other luck and power too.

If it’s for the sake of Bai Yunxian…

As she thought, Yun Shu jolted up and opened her eyes, only to see Bai Yunxian’s entire body was now giving up a neon light glow.

This is…!

Yun Shu slowly let go of her hand from Bai Yunxian’s body, but the light was still there, glowing up even more in each passing second.

He actually made it!

The Qi core has been formed successfully inside his body!

Yun Shu couldn’t contain her happiness as she grinned. It’s truly a blessing for teachers to have such talented students like him!

Is this how a teacher feels when his students get the best score? I feel so proud!

“Take it easy and continue cultivating, I’ll be here on watch so no worries.” As Yun Shu said, she made another protection layer around Bai Yunxian as she stepped out of the area itself.

Growl…

Grrr…grrr…

Bai Yunxian wouldn’t know anything since he was now focusing on his cultivation inside a two layer protection realm, which was also soundproof thanks to Yun Shu’s continuous research.

But outside the layer, a bunch of monsters already surrounded the area, patiently waiting for them to come out and provide as their meal.

Yun Shu scheted her sword as she stepped out, glaring at the fellows that were surrounding her.

Being a Martial Emperor actually gave her so many benefits, like an OP hidden boss!

Many of the beasts and monsters flew away when they sensed her superior aura, yet some of the divine beasts didn’t wish to give in.

“Hmm? I guess you guys are staying for real? Not gonna run away?” Yun Shu laughed coldly as she was annoyed by the disturbance.

“I guess I need to step up and teach you guys a lesson, so that in the future, you’ll think twice before messing with the wrong person… no, Or should I just get rid of you guys once and for all?”

It was obvious that the divine beasts who were acting all haughty towards Yun Shu understood her words. The emerald water snake snarled in anger as it attacked Yun Shu without holding back.

But Yun Shu easily avoided the huge tail flying towards her, and was able to cut through deeply enough to make it shirk out in pain as she landed perfectly, putting her sword over her shoulder and giving a wicked smirk at them.

“What is it? A warm up round? Sure, let’s do it like this!”

While Yun Shu was busy battling with the beasts around the forest, Bai Yunxian didn’t know any of this and tried his best to cultivate high, absorbing the spiritual essence evenly in his whole body.

Since this was what Lord Yun wished, he didn’t want to disappoint him.

So he will do his best to keep up with Lord Yun, to walk side by side with his chin held up proudly.

The two souls were determined in different ways, working hard to achieve the sweet melon of success.

As Bai Yunxian was almost done with his cultivation, he slowly opened his eyes to see the pond that lost its glow.

Sure enough, he drew out the last drop of spiritual essence out of the pond and merged it inside his body.

It’s been more than five hours, the forest now seemed more gloomy and darker than it was before they came here.

Bai Yunxian was now successfully able to rotate his Qi in his body. He needs to show it off to Yun Shu, doesn’t he?

Would he be happy, surprised, or it’s something he already predicted would happen?

Nonetheless, Bai Yunxian wasn’t afraid of the outcome, though he knew he would be hurt to see his usual poker face after informing this success.

He knew it wasn’t much compared to other people’s achievements Yun Shu saw before, but he genuinely wanted to share this happiness with Yun Shu fairly.

He had a great influence in Bai Yunxian’s life from the moment they met for the first time in their life this time.

However, as soon as Bai Yunxian relaxed his body and stood up from the shore, the thick scent of blood lingering around in the air shot through his nose, which made him surprised.

Blood stench?

Where is it coming from?

Don’t tell me… did he get injured?

Originally, Bai Yunxian actually never came in this forest before, not even during his countless regressions he’s been through.

But he sensed the moment he entered the forest, that it was a dangerous area for them to scout around.

It’s all because he had faith in Yun Shu that he came this far without any question, his absolute faith that he wouldn’t harm Bai Yunxian in any way despite his suspicions.

No, to tell the truth, Yun Shu has never once initiated something which would put Bai Yunxian in danger.

That’s why Bai Yunxian subconsciously put all his faith in him and followed him around everywhere without any questions.

And now, you are telling me that he is injured?

Bai Yunxian wanted to fly to reach Yun Shu and see for himself what happened, but it was maddening that he couldn’t go out of the shield made from Yun Shu’s inner energy.

If he were to forcefully break it now, Yun Shu will get some serious internal injury. He couldn’t let that happen, but he wanted to go out and help him too.

Is it because of me?

Certainly, it’s because of him that Yun Shu was now like this, fighting a dangerous beast in this forest alone. All just to assist him…

Please, don’t get injured… come back safely…

All he could do was pray desperately and wait for Yun Shu to come back in one piece.

However, not long after that, a figure was running towards him in a fast speed.

Isn’t that… Lord Yun?

Don’t tell me… is he being chased by some spiritual beast?!

“My Lord…! What’s happened here? Are you alright?” Bai Yunxian shouted anxiously.

Yun Shu also noticed him by now. But there wasn’t much time to explain things to him.

The moment Yun Shu got close to the barrier, it disappeared into thin air, leaving Bai Yunxian completely defenseless.

But before he could shout out again, Yun Shu caught the guy by his stomach as if she was carrying a gas cylinder and lifted him up, throwing him over her shoulder as she started running again.

W-what is this?!

Something is definitely going wrong here!
