Chapter 74 She had a fleeting thought about him…
Are you jealous?
Li Ye widened his eyes slightly and gave a cold laugh, "Si Yao, you think too highly of yourself. Why would I be jealous?"
Jealousy. Li Ye felt that these two words could never exist in his life.
However, Si Yao insisted, "You're just jealous."
Li Ye didn't budge, "Dream on."
“Haha…” Si Yao shook her head and smiled, “If you weren’t jealous, you wouldn’t be angry with me, and you wouldn’t refuse my care.”
Looking at Li Ye's pale face and slightly red eyes, Si Yao continued, "You're only upset that I saved Ye Guyan first, and even mind that I sent him back to the guest courtyard first. If I had stayed by your side immediately, perhaps you wouldn't be like this."
Her detailed explanation caused Li Ye's brow to twitch slightly. He maintained his composure, a cold smile playing on his lips, "This is all just your imagination. I am neither Xia Chongyun nor Ye Guyan. You can be nice to whichever man you want, and I won't be jealous like they are."
"Stubborn." Si Yao didn't listen to his explanation at all. "Perhaps you don't understand your true thoughts at all."
"Si Yao!" Li Ye took a deep breath. "Don't push your luck!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Si Yao was only concerned with the demonic energy emanating from his body, then she grabbed him and threw him into the wooden tub.
The cold water instantly enveloped Li Ye. He frowned slightly and looked at Si Yao with his chest heaving.
She really went too far and started touching him inappropriately!
But the coolness emanating from the wooden tub did make him feel much better.
Si Yao moved a chair and sat down in front of him, her voice coming softly, "Tell me, what exactly are the aftereffects you mentioned earlier?"
Li Ye closed his eyes. "That's none of your business. You don't need to know."
"I'm determined to know! After all, this is the second time you've had an attack in front of me. And this time, it seems more severe than the last." Her tone became urgent again. "If we can't find a cure for the root cause, I don't know what will happen to you if this aftereffect flares up again."
The demonic energy emanating from Li Ye continued to surge, and the cold water in the wooden tub gradually turned into hot water as his body became scalding hot.
Si Yao formed a hand seal with one hand, and a Xuanbing Jue (a type of magical technique) descended.
In the blink of an eye, Li Ye was surrounded by ice.
He frowned, his body alternating between cold and heat, but only in this way could the demonic energy within him be slightly suppressed.
“You don’t need to care about me so much.” Li Ye, whose eyes were still closed, uttered these words. “If you were worried about my death, there would be even less need. Although we may live and die together, I have a great grudge to avenge and will not die so easily.”
So you don't need to be so anxious.
Hearing this, Si Yao clenched her fists and said angrily, "I know you won't die, so I'm not taking good care of you because I'm afraid of dying!"
"Then why?" Li Ye raised his eyes, his cold gaze falling on Si Yao. "Then tell me, why?"
“Because…” Si Yao gripped the hem of her dress tightly, “because I just genuinely care about you and don’t want anything to happen to you.”
Li Ye's gaze gradually warmed. He was somewhat incredulous, then said mockingly, "Si Yao, what tactic are you using this time? Are you trying to trick me with sweet words?"
"What did I lie to you about?" Si Yao cast another Xuanbing Technique, adding another layer of ice around Li Ye.
She really wanted to wrap him in layers of ice and freeze him to death!
An endless chill surrounded Li Ye, so cold it was bone-chilling, yet Li Ye didn't even shiver.
He gave a half-smile, "You want to lie to me, just like you lied to Xia Chongyun."
"Hmph!" Si Yao was furious, her eyes filled with anger. "Li Ye, do you think I still want to trick you into my hands and then develop you into my dual cultivation partner?"
She shrugged. "You're wrong. I knew from the beginning that you were against this, so I never intended to do it! But you, you're always trying to make yourself look good, always thinking that I, Si Yao, can't live without you, right?"
Li Ye choked.
Si Yao continued angrily, "Although you are the first man I, Si Yao, have acknowledged, it doesn't mean you'll be the only one! I admit that sometimes I do covet your body, but I, Si Yao, will definitely find someone more suitable in the future. Don't think I'll hang myself on this tree forever!"
Li Ye's face darkened.
She admitted it; she coveted his body.
But she also made it clear that she wouldn't keep him hanging on forever!
Li Ye's heart suddenly surged. This was exactly what he wanted, so why did he feel a little uncomfortable hearing Si Yao confess like this?
A mix of emotions overwhelmed him, making him extremely irritable.
Si Yao, standing in front of the wooden tub, shook her head again. "Impossible. I can't possibly hang myself on your tree. So please stop speculating about me. My concern for you is purely out of concern, and I have no intention of trying to move you so that one day you will voluntarily cultivate with me!"
Her words were powerful and resounding, leaving Li Ye speechless.
She no longer needs him.
Even though her "pure maiden" philosophy currently only accepts him.
She will continue to look for a more suitable person.
Someone more suitable than him?
The ever-arrogant Li Ye was not happy about it. In this world, was there anyone more suitable than him?
What kind of person would that be?
He disdained both Xia Chongyun, whom Si Yao had previously approached, and Ye Guyan, with whom Si Yao was currently in an ambiguous relationship.
They even felt that Si Yao's judgment was completely flawed.
Finally, he laughed again, wanting to say something to turn the tide, but he was immediately frozen by the icy coldness unleashed by Si Yao's Profound Ice Technique.
This time, his face was completely encased in ice.
"Si Yao, did you do this on purpose?"
She deliberately prevented him from speaking; she didn't want to listen either!
"Just bear with it! The ice will melt away in a quarter of an hour!"
After saying this, Si Yao sat down cross-legged to meditate.
She appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was in turmoil.
She was really angry, and even thought about leaving Li Ye behind and letting him fend for himself.
But the thought of his pale face and his purplish lips made her unable to get up.
Half of it was the master's duty, while the other half was filled with many complex emotions.
In short, she just wanted him to get better quickly.
Finally, under her own pressure, Si Yao calmed down and quietly entered a meditative state.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when Si Yao opened her eyes, the ice in the wooden tub had already melted, and Li Ye was lying unconscious to the side.
Si Yao was shocked and immediately moved Li Ye out of bed, carefully letting him lie down on the bed.
His body was as cold as an ice cave this time. Although the demonic energy was no longer emanating from his chest, the shocking black marks had not faded.
Sure enough, this time it was much more severe than the last time.
Li Ye trembled all over, curled up on the bed, and seemed very helpless.
"Siyao..."
He actually called Si Yao's name softly.
Si Yao was stunned. She leaned closer. She had been angry with him just now, but seeing him in so much pain, her heart softened.
She could only gently pat him and say, "I'm here."
"Si Yao..." Li Ye called out again.
Clearly, he was becoming delirious and talking nonsense.
"You need to find someone more suitable than me... Tell me, where can I find such a person?"
"Uh..." Si Yao paused. Even at this point, he was still worrying about this?
However, Li Ye, with his eyes tightly closed, said to himself, "No one... is more suitable than me."
"Huh?" Si Yao thought she had misheard. She leaned closer and asked, "What did you say? Say it again?"
Unfortunately, Li Ye pursed his thin lips and said nothing more.
Li Ye's body was cold. Si Yao lay down beside him without hesitation, just like that night. She leaned over and hugged him tightly from behind.
His body, which had been trembling just a second ago, suddenly stopped as Si Yao hugged him, as if he had enjoyed a moment of peace.
He became much more well-behaved, and his furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Si Yao pressed her head against his broad back and whispered, "You said there's no one more suitable than you, did I hear you right?"
Undeterred by the lack of response, she continued, "Li Ye, for me, there is no one more suitable than you in this world, right?"
Her voice echoed softly in the air.
After a moment, Li Ye hummed in agreement.
Si Yao held her breath, so excited that she unconsciously shifted her body slightly. "No one is more suitable than you, so what should we do? If we ask you, you won't be willing."
Li Ye did not answer.
Si Yao sat up and examined Li Ye, who was standing close to her, to make sure he was indeed unconscious and in a dazed state. Then she tentatively asked, "Since no one is more suitable than you, how about I let you cultivate with me? Do you agree?"
She became nervous after asking that question.
She was really afraid that Li Ye would suddenly wake up and then, in his usual stubborn manner, tell her to stop daydreaming.
However, Li Ye did not wake up, but responded vaguely, "Okay."
He actually said yes...
Although he was most likely talking nonsense.
But it was enough to leave Si Yao completely stunned; she was very surprised.
Could it be that Li Ye subconsciously accepts her?
It's just that they're too embarrassed to admit it on a normal day?
Without realizing it, a beautiful smile appeared on Si Yao's lips.
Her heart was warmed by that single word "good," and this unexpected surprise brought her immense satisfaction.
On the bed, Si Yao couldn't help but tighten her grip, hugging Li Ye tightly once again.
But his body was too tall and large, and Si Yao could only barely wrap her arms around him. She wished she could lift her legs and cling to him like an octopus.
Unbeknownst to them, at this moment, Li Ye's hand moved. He was not fully conscious and searched his body. Finally, his large hand covered Si Yao's hand.
His skin was dry, with a faint warmth still lingering. The touch on the back of his hand made Si Yao pause slightly.
Before she could react, Li Ye had already grabbed her hand and turned her over.
In the blink of an eye, his face was inches from Si Yao's, their breaths mingling.
Si Yao straightened up, but to her surprise, the other person pulled her into their arms the next moment.
His large hand pressed against her back, and even his chin gently rested on the top of Si Yao's head. The intimate gesture startled Si Yao, making her wonder if the person in front of her, Li Ye, had been possessed.
He actually rolled over and hugged her like that...
Si Yao's heart skipped a beat at that moment.
Is he awake?
Si Yao looked up and observed him closely.
However, his breathing was even, and he showed no signs of waking up.
“Li Ye…”
Si Yao couldn't help but call out to him.
Her gaze lingered on Li Ye's face for a moment, then slowly moved down, once again taking in the beautiful sight of his chest.
Those strong and perfect muscle lines made Si Yao's breathing quicken. She even uncontrollably reached out and caressed the skin on his chest...
Um……
It was indeed that same feeling, just like that crazy night we spent together in Qingfeng Stream when we first met.
As she approached this body, Si Yao's Jade Maiden Sutra stirred again.
Looking at the weakened Li Ye, she had an evil thought.
If he were to... without his knowledge
The more Si Yao thought about it, the more shameless she felt...
How can we take advantage of someone in distress?
She was conflicted, yet a thousand worms seemed to be scratching at her heart, making her unbearably itchy.
The Jade Maiden Scripture of the Joyous Union Sect is a case in point. Once you've tasted its sweetness, you can't stop, and you want to taste it again and again, and again and again...
She couldn't help but snuggle into Li Ye's arms, and then looked up and leaned closer.
Finally, she kissed Li Ye's lips.
In just a moment, her blood boiled, as if she were being burned alive.
She longed to lie on top of him and do whatever she wanted.
Only then will her "Jade Girl Sutra" cease.
However, Si Yao quickly came to her senses, hurriedly retreated, carefully lay back in Li Ye's arms, and then slapped herself.
She cursed herself inwardly: I'm no human being!
She actually had such a filthy thought!
However, a fire was still burning in her lower abdomen.
Si Yao was very distressed. If she did not find a partner for dual cultivation soon, her Jade Maiden Sutra would become even more intense, and one day it might make her "unbearably thirsty," causing her cultivation to stagnate and become chaotic, leading to a qi deviation.
