Chapter 92: Reluctant to Kill Her
After absorbing the life force of the Ice Crystal Serpent, the satiated Prisoner Orchid crawled back, its blue branches covered with barbs gradually shrinking until they became the size of small flower buds.
The light blue orchid clinging to the back of the girl's hand swayed gently, and the light on its petals seemed much softer than before.
Ye Fei raised her finger tentatively to touch the Prisoner Orchid. The Prisoner Orchid waved its petals, and the soft petals touched Ye Fei's finger.
"This Prisoner Orchid can even understand human nature?" Ye Fei found it unbelievable. She stroked the Prisoner Orchid, and instead of rejecting it, the orchid rubbed against her palm like a spoiled child.
Li Yuan grabbed Ye Fei's arm, his face showing a hint of panic: "Are you hurt?"
Ye Fei clutched her chest and forced a smile: "I'm fine, I just held my breath for a while and my internal injuries are aching slightly."
Li Yuan took out a white jade porcelain bottle from the ring on his index finger, poured out a pill, and handed it to Ye Fei: "Eat it."
Ye Fei swallowed it without hesitation, then looked back at Bai Xianlan, whom she had protected so well, and sighed.
"Why did you suddenly rush over just now? Didn't I tell you to step back?" Seeing that her complexion had improved slightly, Li Yuan relaxed, but the next second he stared at her with a cold face, his tone unconsciously becoming harsher.
Ye Fei smiled helplessly at him: "You said it yourself, this White Fairy Orchid is a rare gem. Such a gem is extremely rare in the world. I couldn't bear to see it go extinct, so I rushed over without thinking."
“You…” Li Yuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton.
Knowing she had internal injuries, she still risked her life to save a white orchid. This is truly...
He's truly an incurable idiot.
The magical herb is important, but is it more important than one's own life?
Seeing Li Yuan's face growing increasingly gloomy, Ye Fei decided it was best to keep quiet.
So she reached out and gently pinched the boy's cheek, lifting it upwards.
Li Yuan: "..."
Li Yuan: "What are you doing?"
Ye Fei smiled at him and said, "Don't be angry, smile."
...
The softness of the skin on the girl's fingertips was transmitted inch by inch from her face.
It was like an invisible, magical force that strangely extinguished the nameless fire that was about to burst forth from his heart.
"Go ahead and laugh, why aren't you laughing?"
Ye Fei was speechless. Even though she was pulling at the corners of his mouth like that, it seemed like he was born without knowing what a smile was.
After a moment of silence, Li Yuan softly uttered two words: "...Let go."
Tsk, what an awkward tone.
He didn't laugh, which made Ye Fei unable to suppress a smile, because she happened to see his reddened ear tips.
So she was just shy...
How innocent! Is this something you can say?
Ye Fei dared not be presumptuous any longer. She released her grip, sat cross-legged with a serious expression, and closed her eyes to absorb the pill she had just taken.
Li Yuan didn't disturb him; his mind was still on the scene that had just happened, and his hand involuntarily went to his chest.
The lingering feeling in my heart still lingers, unwilling to dissipate.
Li Yuan felt like he must be going crazy.
Because he lived so long, he had no desires or wants, and was neither happy to gain nor sad to lose.
But now, all his emotions are changing because of her.
He should end her life with his own hands, but why does he find himself getting more and more entangled?
He could clearly feel that the murderous intent he felt towards her had silently vanished.
This leads to the conclusion that he couldn't bear to kill her.
