Chapter 98: Reaching a Consensus
Li Yuan was slightly taken aback. Then, he raised his long, sword-like eyebrows and looked Ye Fei up and down: "Ye Fei, are you joking with me?"
She was only a level 5 spiritual master. Although she had a very good physique for cultivation, it seemed very unreliable for her to become an alchemist and help him refine pills.
“I’m serious.” Ye Fei’s eyes were full of determination. She leaned closer to Li Yuan and said, word by word, “You just need to tell me which herbs make up the pill that can suppress your poisoning. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Li Yuan looked into her eyes.
Bright and clear, it's as if you can see her resilient and brilliant soul through those beautiful eyes.
"Why?" Li Yuan pursed his thin lips and looked deeply into her eyes. "Why did you do all this for me?"
"Why? There are too many reasons." Ye Fei counted them on her fingers: "Because you are my little brother, because you are my partner, because you want to cultivate and become stronger with me, and also because..."
She pointed to the wound on her neck and gave Li Yuan a sinister smile: "You bit me like this, shouldn't you take responsibility?"
Li Yuan: "..."
Li Yuan pondered for a few seconds, then answered seriously, "Should I bite it back for you?"
Ye Fei: "…………"
Ye Fei was getting a little frantic: "I'm a human, not a dog!"
She straddled the boy's waist with an air of dominance, grabbed his collar with one hand and pulled him forward, glaring at him fiercely: "I just happened to need someone to test my drugs on, and now you're a ready-made drug test subject!"
This was the first time Li Yuan had been forced like this by a girl, but he didn't feel any disgust. On the contrary, he felt a little... expectant?
The girl sat steadily on his lap, the faint fragrance of her hair lingering between their breaths.
Li Yuan's ears turned red and hot. He looked away, his voice a little hoarse: "...You come down first."
"Then promise me first!" Ye Fei grabbed a strand of his smooth, black hair, her expression resolute: "I will never harm you, but if you don't take the pill, can you guarantee that you can control yourself and not hurt me once the poison takes effect?"
Li Yuan stared into her dark eyes.
Her expression was anything but joking; she genuinely wanted to save him.
Ye Fei, do you know that the person you are trying to save once harbored murderous intentions towards you?
Given her resolute nature, he could easily have taken advantage of her.
Anyway, as long as the fire poison is suppressed, the detoxification is only a matter of time, and he can kill it after he's done using it—but he doesn't want to do that.
As if possessed, the boy raised his hand, his long, slender fingers gently stroking her bandaged neck. His movements were so gentle that Ye Fei was somewhat taken aback.
After a long pause, Li Yuan replied, "Okay, I promise you."
"The herbs needed to refine the elixir are not ordinary herbs, but I can wait. However, once the full moon approaches, I will be completely poisoned."
“I don’t want you to get hurt, so you must stay away from me during those days.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei smiled and said, "I will."
Li Yuan coughed, his eyes darting around: "...Since that's the case, you can get off me now?"
For an unmarried human girl to act this way towards a man is truly...
Ye Fei also felt that her posture was a bit improper, so she quickly stood up, smiled, and extended her hand to him: "Let's go, let's go back together."
