Chapter Sixteen: Reject the Youthful Aesthetics, Start with Him, This and Her!
[Forcing to Calm Down——!]
Ye Xi was surprised by Nahida's response.
Punishment!
This is too much punishment!
The little days had become increasingly judgmental.
"No need for that, we'll talk about this later."
Upon hearing Ye Xi's words, Nahida looked very confused, innocence written all over her face.
The more Nahida behaved like this, the more tormented Ye Xi became.
Cut, cut, cut!
Reject the youthful aesthetics, start with him, this and her!
"Nahida, the price you will pay will be all of Sumeru."
Setting aside distracting thoughts, Ye Xi presented the conditions seriously.
"You, your power, and the power of Sumeru will belong to me."
"I won't interfere in Sumeru's affairs."
"But when I need it, Sumeru will rise."
Ye Xi's condition made Nahida fall into deep thought.
She was considering Ye Xi's position.
If Ye Xi needs the power of Sumeru, it must be to help Khaenri'ah against Celestia.
Given the current difficulties, all of Sumeru must be on the opposite side of the Heavenly Law.
It doesn't seem worth it to do so.
After all, she believed that Sumeru was not terminally ill.
In fact, Ye Xi's thoughts were not what Nahida speculated.
Although he was from Khaenri'ah, he had no sense of belonging to the city.
Now, he just wanted to live an ordinary life, strengthen himself step by step, and find freedom and happiness in this world.
The reason he wanted to control the power of Sumeru was also precautionary.
He wasn't provoking heaven.
But if Celestia knew his identity and saw that he had escaped the curse of immortality, would he still remain silent?
When the law of heaven came, he would face a great threat.
Preventing is preventing, without prejudging waste.
To avoid being passive at that moment, he needed to plan ahead and continue accumulating strength.
"Nahida, I won't accept your request."
"Eh!?"
Nahida seemed astonished. She really wanted to reject Ye Xi, but unexpectedly, Ye Xi anticipated her.
Ye Xi said, "Not now, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future."
"After you get out of your inferiority complex and confusion."
"Bring the price you've prepared and ask me again."
After speaking, this dream world began to crumble.
Nahida's consciousness separated from the dream.
"What is the reason?"
"Is it such a powerful spiritual force that it can undo the dream by itself?"
Now that she left the dream space, it meant that Ye Xi took the initiative to end the dream.
This surprised Nahida greatly.
Because it is impossible for ordinary people to have this kind of power.
'Get out of the inferiority complex and confusion?'
'What should a god like me do?'
She had been locked in the dark world for five hundred years.
From the moment she was born, from the day she was taken back to the Jingshan Palace by the Great Sage, she had been dazed in this dark and lonely world.
What could she do?
Nahida sighed softly and plunged into deep thoughts.
…
Ye Xi was not in a hurry.
In fact, if he really wanted to kill the Great Sage, it wouldn't be impossible.
The Great Sage Azar must have means to protect himself, so the winning rate in a confrontation wouldn't be high.
If he didn't have 100% certainty of success, then Ye Xi wouldn't do it.
Using assassination means, sneaking into the Teaching Orders Academy, and firing an electromagnetic cannon at the Great Sage.
After the Great Sage died, he would go to the Jingshan Palace to free Nahida.
That would be easy, but it would also put the Khaenri'ah on the opposite side of Sumeru.
He wanted to take care of his image as best as he could, which was very important for publicity.
If the Great Sage took the initiative to harm Khaenri'ah for profit and was defeated by Khaenri'ah, that wouldn't be reasonable, would it?
It would be like committing a crime on the street and definitely being called brutal.
If you confront thieves and then fight back, this is a legitimate defense of moral superiority!
So he was not in a hurry.
Instead of chasing stars and moons, it was better to stop and enjoy the fresh breeze and vanilla scent of Sumeru.
Early in the morning.
The sky turned white like a fish's belly, and the morning light shone far on the horizon.
Ye Xi opened his eyes, and his consciousness gradually became clear.
It seemed that after his mental strength improved, his sleep quality had improved.
Dunyarzad, on the other hand, was still sound asleep.
The warm breath softly sprayed on his shoulders, which itched a little.
At that moment, Ye Xi suddenly discovered that countless black scales had appeared on Dunyarzad's face.
It was like a dense black grid, giving people a tingling sensation on their scalp.
[Ding~]
[The branch [Dunyarzad] has begun to purify.]
The crisp sound of the impulse fell, and the black scales on Dunyarzad's body began to evaporate instantly.
Clouds of black mist evaporated from her face and disappeared into the air.
After a while, all the scales disappeared, leaving behind very smooth and delicate skin.
"Hum..."
As if feeling the disappearance of the disease, Dunyarzad sighed and slowly opened her eyes.
When she realized her gaze was on Ye Xi, two red clouds quickly appeared on her face.
"Old, master..."
"Dunyarzad, how do you feel?"
"Eh?"
Dunyarzad was a bit distracted, never having experienced a morning like this.
She opened her eyes to find someone idolizing her, and he was so handsome.
When she came to her senses, she realized that Ye Xi was asking about the magical scale disease.
She lifted the thin quilt and stroked the skin where the scales had appeared before, but suddenly found that those damned scales had disappeared!
"There are none left!"
"They're really gone!"
Dunyarzad's face immediately filled with surprise.
Not only had the scales disappeared!
The feeling of depression and helplessness from before was gone!
She felt better than ever!
"Am I ready!?"
She couldn't believe it; it felt like a dream!
The disease that had tormented her since childhood was truly cured!
