Chapter 274 Living in the Present
Seeing this, Yu Xuan was about to go over to help when Shi Yi's voice came from not far away, "Hey, Yu Xuan, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan's face was also full of surprise. "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
"I'm here to find a wife."
"Looking for a wife?"
"Xiao Xi, she lives in Peach Blossom Valley now." Shi Yi proudly showed off, "Look, this dress I'm wearing, she made it for me herself!"
Caught off guard by this display of affection, Yu Xuan gave an awkward smile and said, "Congratulations, Brother Shi, on your perfect match."
"Hehe, thank you so much!"
"Hmph, what's there to show off? What's so great about it?" Ye Luo tugged at her collar with a competitive look, revealing the protective inner armor underneath. "My husband made me this a long time ago!"
Shi Yi: "..."
Yuxuan: "???"
"You really have to be so picky about everything!" Shi Yi glanced at him with displeasure, nodded to Yu Xuan who was standing to the side, and said, "I'm going to cook for Xiao Xi, I'll come find you for a drink later!"
"Alright." Yu Xuan watched his departing figure, then hesitated for a moment before looking at Ye Luo in front of her and said, "Your lover was willing to forge this inner armor for you, which shows how deeply he loves you..."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
“My father was a master weapon refiner in the upper realm, so I have some knowledge about weapon materials since I was a child. The inner armor you are wearing contains a large amount of dragon essence blood, and the material seems to be made of tough dragon scales…”
"Blood essence...dragon scales..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo was taken aback and his lips trembled slightly. Ever since he began refining pills for the Nan family, he had known how precious a cultivator's essence blood was. Even if he only collected a drop of essence blood periodically, it would take a long time to recover.
"Then, how much life essence would it take to forge this inner armor...?"
Seeing his pale face, Yu Xuan opened her mouth but did not answer him. After a moment, she patted his shoulder and said, "In short, he is risking his life to protect you. That's enough."
After saying that, Yu Xuan smiled at him and walked towards the busy Yu Qianling, leaving Ye Luo looking stunned.
The little azure dragon beside him noticed that something was wrong with him and carefully took his hand, asking, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Luo looked at Jun Yi in front of her, her young face full of anxiety, her eyes moistening as she laughed, "You silly boy..."
...
Because of Yu Xuan's arrival, everyone set up a barbecue on the grass again that night, and Shi Yi, Cen Feng, and the others drank again. However, this time, it was Yu Xuan who was naturally forced to drink.
"Come on, Yu Xuan, drink up!"
Yu Xuan's cheeks were flushed, revealing his drunkenness. He hiccuped and waved his hand, saying, "You all need to catch your breath..."
"What are you waiting for? Drink up!" Shi Yi grinned mischievously and raised his glass to clink glasses. "If you're a man, bottoms up!"
Cen Feng, understanding the exchange between them, chimed in with a mischievous grin, "That's right, this isn't good for your first time visiting Peach Blossom Valley!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xuan gulped down another bowl of soup. As soon as he finished drinking, he collapsed. Yu Qianling, who was standing nearby, quickly caught him and placed his head on her lap.
"You guys are pretty arrogant. If I don't drink you all under the table today, I'm not a Yu!"
"Come on, who's afraid of who!" Shi Yi grinned at Du Jiaoxi, who was grilling meat, and said, "Wife, I'm counting on you later!"
Du Jiaoxi glared at him and said, "Get lost!"
"Did you hear me! I told you to get lost, hahaha!"
At this moment, Ye Luo was absentmindedly tending the fire, silent and preoccupied, unlike her usual playful and lively self.
Seeing his unusual behavior, Du Jiaoxi flipped the roasted meat and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Hmm?" Ye Luo looked up at her, then touched the sleeping little dragon wrapped around her wrist. "Nothing... I was just reflecting."
"Reflect?" Du Jiaoxi was speechless upon hearing this. "This is unprecedented. You actually have this kind of awareness?"
"Isn't that right?" Ye Luo smiled and lay down on the grass, watching Yu Xuan and the others drinking and then gazing at the stars in the sky. "Xiao Xi..."
"Um?"
"If Shi Yi did something unforgivable to you in your past life, would you forgive him now that you know?"
What's the problem?
"Just consider it a hypothesis, why don't you tell me first?"
Du Jiaoxi put down her work, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "The past is like smoke. If we can meet again in this life, it means it's a wonderful thing to continue our predestined relationship. Besides, that was in the past life. We should live in the present and not dwell on it anymore."
"Wow, you're quite insightful."
"Of course, I don't have time to contemplate life, I'm too busy. It's mainly because of Master's matter that I've had some insights..."
Ever since Ye Luo glimpsed the cause and effect of her past life, although she said she didn't care at all, she had developed some resentment towards Jun Yi in her heart...
But today, Yu Xuan revealed the matter of the inner armor. He recalled all the times he had spent with Jun Yi, and it seemed that he had been the one making silent sacrifices all along.
And what about him?
She seemed to simply take it all for granted and enjoy everything he gave her.
In this life, Jun Yi truly did not let him down; on the contrary, he showered him with affection.
"Live in the moment..." Ye Luo muttered softly, getting up and slowly walking towards the cave. "Thanks."
Du Jiaoxi: "??"
"You're not eating meat anymore?"
"I'm not eating anymore. I'm going back to my cave to spend some time with my husband."
"..."
