Chapter 306: I Can Wait
Ye Fei recalled what Lian had told her and asked again, "Was Qiu Yu's ancestor a woman?"
Li Yuan glanced at her and shook his head: "No, it's a man."
“Lian told me very accurately that his owner was a woman.”
Li Yuan's gaze deepened: "...A female alchemist?"
A sudden, piercing pain shot through his brain. He clutched his forehead, closing his eyes in agony.
"Li?" Ye Fei quickly supported him and asked anxiously, "Is the inflammation poison acting up again?"
Li Yuan shook his head, his voice low and deep: "No, it seems I'm missing a piece of memory... My head hurts whenever I try to think about it."
Ye Fei frowned. Was she missing a piece of her memory? How could she resemble Lian so much…
After a while, Li Yuan took the girl's hand and said, "I'm fine now."
Ye Fei looked at Li Yuan with a solemn expression, her hands involuntarily clenching tightly.
There must be some kind of connection between Li Yuan and Lian.
For now, the best course of action is to suppress the flaming poison within Li Yuan's body.
"I will find the other medicinal herbs for you as soon as possible." Ye Fei looked directly at Li Yuan, her face devoid of its usual smile, replaced by a deep determination.
Li Yuan looked down at her, and after a long while, he smiled.
When someone who doesn't laugh often does laugh, the effect is incredibly powerful.
For a moment, Ye Fei was also captivated by his endlessly gentle smile.
Li Yuan put his arm around Ye Fei's waist and kissed her on the cheek with great joy: "You don't need to work so hard for me."
Ye Fei frowned, her voice turning cold: "Li Yuan, I don't like what you're saying."
She had already considered him her beloved, so why were they still so distant from each other?
“I haven’t talked to you about suppressing the Flame Poison because I didn’t want to put too much pressure on you,” Li Yuan said softly, his melodious and magnetic voice filled with tenderness. “You have to cultivate, learn alchemy, and make hidden weapons. Each of these things requires a lot of mental effort. You’ve already accomplished a lot at your age.”
"Furthermore, you can't refine the Nine-Turn Ice Jade Pill right now, and the required medicinal materials are extremely difficult to obtain. It can't be completed in just a few days. Fei'er, I'm not in a hurry."
Ye Fei rolled her eyes: "I won't be in a hurry if you die."
There was not a trace of disrespect in his words. Li Yuan smiled and narrowed his eyes upon hearing this: "The Flame Poison has existed in my body for over a thousand years. Waiting a few more years won't make a difference."
"And I won't die."
The last four words reveal arrogance and haughtiness.
Ye Fei pouted, clearly not satisfied with what Li Yuan had said.
"I can wait, so promise me you won't overwork yourself." Li Yuan lowered his head and kissed Ye Fei's lips, the movement so gentle and tender that it made her fingers tremble slightly.
He could sense her good intentions.
Having lived for tens of thousands of years, how fortunate he is to receive such tender care from someone at this time.
Ye Fei returned his kiss and closed her eyes.
If this is what he wants, then she can slow down a bit.
Li Yuan released her, his gaze lingering on her face.
"Okay, I promise you." Ye Fei looked back at him and said solemnly, word by word.

Ye Fei and Li Yuan returned to the camp one after the other.
"Are you alright?" Yun Fusang took a skewer of grilled meat from the wooden fire stand and handed it to Ye Fei, asking with concern.
Ye Fei took it and smiled, "It's nothing, what could possibly be wrong?"
"Well, it's good that you're alright." Seeing that her expression was natural, Yun Fusang also smiled slightly.
Ye Fei was biting into the grilled meat, about to praise how well it was made, when several familiar-looking people slowly walked over from another path—
