Ye Chen's expression changed repeatedly, and finally, he forced a grim smile, saying, "Are you saying that I have started to differentiate now? Is that what you mean?"
Xiao Feng nodded.
Watching Xiao Feng's gesture, Ye Chen suddenly stood up, creating distance between them, and began pacing back and forth in the Ruined Mountain Temple.
Since arriving in this world, he had known that it was different from the one he originally came from.
Terms like Kun Ze, Tian Qian, and Zhong Yong sounded like something his sister, who loved reading Danmei novels, would enjoy. He had asked Sun Mao for information, and the most important thing he learned about Kun Ze was that they could generally only be born from other Kun Ze.
Ye Chen couldn't wrap his head around how he suddenly became a Kun Ze and was about to differentiate, emitting a fragrance of Xin Xiang that was Sea Begonia Fragrance. It was even more absurd than modern girls wearing perfume; Xiao Feng could smell it from such a distance.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen stopped and began to sniff at his collar, even pulling the fabric from the back of his neck to press against his nose.
Hmm? Where is the Sea Begonia Fragrance? Why can't he smell it?
Right, this Xin Xiang of Kun Ze could only be detected by other Kun Ze and Tian Qian; ordinary people couldn't perceive it. How did Xiao Feng manage to smell it?
With a shift in tone, Ye Chen cast a sharp gaze at Xiao Feng again. "Are you... Kun Ze?"
With a hint of hesitation, Ye Chen boldly guessed.
Xiao Feng replied, "I am Tian Qian."
"Oh... So you are Tian Qian. Then it's nothing..."
Birds flew past outside the Mountain Temple, their calls breaking the silence that felt almost too heavy.
"Hmm? Wait a minute, what did you say you are? You’re a Tian Qian?" Ye Chen snapped back to reality, his brow furrowing as he tightened the disheveled cuffs of his clothing. His gaze fixed intently on Xiao Feng, filled with wariness.
"Why are you only mentioning you're a Tian Qian now? My Xin Xiang has erupted, and you, a Tian Qian, staying here—are you trying to take advantage of me?"
Even if he were to die, the old Ye Chen would never have believed he would utter such words.
In this world, the eruption of Xin Xiang during Kun Ze easily incited emotional responses from Tian Qian. Therefore, during the Rain Dew Period, it was common for family members or close partners to be nearby; it was rare for an unfamiliar Tian Qian to be alone with him, as it could easily lead to complications.
Realizing his precarious situation, Ye Chen immediately distanced himself from Xiao Feng by more than ten meters, retreating into the shadows of the Mountain Temple. He Submissive ted loudly, fearful that Xiao Feng might charge at him.
Xiao Feng, dressed in dark robes and propped up on one side while sitting on the ground, observed Ye Chen's movements with a quiet smile. It seemed that Ye Chen was finally displaying some reactions typical of Kun Ze; he looked rather cute.
"I don’t mean any harm, Brother Ye Chen. Your Xin Xiang is only just erupting; it doesn’t affect me that much, so don’t worry about it." At this point, Xiao Feng gently shook his head at Ye Chen. "You don’t need to keep your distance. Besides, if I had malicious intent, why would I bother telling you about your impending differentiation?"
Ye Chen listened to Xiao Feng's words, his frown deepening as he scrutinized Xiao Feng’s expression and tone for signs of deceit. He continued to back away slowly while cautiously replying, "How do I know if what you’re saying is true? What if you’re lying?"
Seeing this, Xiao Feng patiently explained, "Brother Ye Chen, do I look like someone with ill intentions? If I truly had ulterior motives, why would I share this information with you? What you need to do now is find a safe place to get through this Differentiation Period. I can help you; there’s no need for concern."
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment and relaxed his guard slightly but still maintained his distance. After thinking it over, he asked, "Then why do you want to help me?"
Xiao Feng pursed his lips. "I want to make a deal with Brother Ye Chen."
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "A deal?"
Ye Chen looked at Xiao Feng with confusion, wondering if the young man still held a grudge against him for previously asking for ten taels of gold and two taels of silver for medicine. After all, with him lying on the ground, unable to move, he hardly seemed in a position to negotiate.
Seeing Ye Chen gradually calm down, Xiao Feng officially began the negotiation. "You see, I noticed that you are only thirteen years old and yet you are wandering the martial world alone. It piqued my curiosity. However, those in the martial world Submissive ld not pry too much into others' private matters. It's just that you are about to undergo your transformation into Kun Ze, which is quite dangerous in this world. I can only assume that you have your own reasons for being alone."
As Xiao Feng spoke, he slightly raised his head and looked sincerely at Ye Chen.
Listening to this, Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully. "You do have a point. It is indeed troublesome to wander the martial world as Kun Ze. I wish I didn't have to go through this transformation." He sighed lightly as he spoke.
"You need not worry, Ye Chen. I have something that can help delay your transformation, allowing you to maintain your Zhong Yong form while navigating the martial world. This way, you won't have to hide all the time for fear of being discovered by someone like Tian Qian," Xiao Feng said casually as he reached into his sleeve and pulled out a small red vial.
"This is a pill crafted by an Imperial Court Physician. It can help conceal your Xin Xiang from Tian Qian and Kun Ze, and even delay your transformation, Rain Dew Period, and manic phase. It is an essential remedy carried by many high-ranking officials. There are currently twelve pills left in this vial; taking one will prevent you from emitting Xin Xiang for a month and maintain your Zhong Yong form. If you are willing to help me, I would gladly give them all to you."
Just as Ye Chen was about to reach out to take it, he suddenly halted his movement after hearing the latter part of Xiao Feng's statement. He cautiously glanced at Xiao Feng and asked, "This... this isn't being given for free, is it?"
Xiao Feng's pale face managed a polite yet awkward smile. "Of course, it requires your assistance with something. If this task is accomplished, not only ten taels of gold but even a thousand taels of gold would not be out of the question."
Countless images of golden coins falling from the sky filled Ye Chen's mind at that moment; it was a mesmerizing sight that nearly left him dazed. However, he quickly regained his composure, rubbed his hands together, and asked Xiao Feng eagerly, "Really?"
Xiao Feng nodded seriously. "Really."
Ye Chen snatched the vial from Xiao Feng's hand and held it tightly in his grasp. He flashed a bright smile at Xiao Feng, revealing his white teeth. "Then it's settled!" He said as he clapped Xiao Feng on the Submissive lder with newfound enthusiasm, completely shedding his earlier wariness.
Xiao Feng also smiled broadly in return and replied, "It's settled."
