Chapter 46: Stay for Two Days
The two women turned around to see Xiao Yun with his arms crossed, smiling as he observed them. He looked so refreshed that he hardly resembled someone who had been seriously injured.
"You..." Liu Ziyan and Han Xing both widened their eyes in surprise. Was this guy a devil? When did he sneak up behind them?
Han Xing asked in astonishment, "Uh, have your injuries healed?"
Xiao Yun nodded and patted his chest, saying, "Yes, the three broken ribs have already healed!"
"Ah!" Han Xing was dumbfounded. She thought she must have misheard him. Those were three broken ribs, not hair; how could they heal so quickly?
She looked at Xiao Yun as if he were a monster, wondering if he really was a devil.
For Liu Ziyan, however, it wasn't as surprising as it was for Han Xing. Since he could cure someone else's terminal illness in such a short time, it was naturally no problem for him to heal his own ribs.
What made her a bit reluctant was that since Xiao Yun's injuries had healed, he would surely leave Phoenix City. She couldn't think of any way to keep him there.
Life rarely goes as one wishes; most of the time, things don't turn out well. Although she had once claimed that she would find a way to bring Xiao Yun back to her side, that was merely a moment of bravado. When it came down to actually figuring out a plan, she couldn't come up with anything good.
"Are you going back?" Han Xing blurted out without thinking.
Xiao Yun smiled and looked at Han Xing's cute face, asking in return, "What do you think?"
Hearing his tone, Han Xing felt a bit relieved and couldn't help but feel delighted. She said, "If you ask me, Brother Xiao Yun, since you rarely come here, why not stay a few more days!"
Xiao Yun replied, "That suits me just fine, haha! I was actually thinking of staying here longer."
Liu Ziyan asked, somewhat unexpectedly delighted, "Really?"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "This room of yours is great; there's a garden behind the window, and the air is fragrant—perfect for my cultivation. Also, your bed is nice; sleeping on it allows me to enjoy that unique fragrance of a beautiful woman. It's truly intoxicating!"
What kind of person is this? He dares to say anything.
Liu Ziyan was so embarrassed that she felt like she could almost drip water from her face. She rolled her eyes at him but didn't know how to respond.
"Hmph, don't just enjoy my sister-in-law's fragrance; my own scent isn't bad either!" Han Xing said impulsively, feeling a bit jealous of her sister-in-law.
Uh...
Both Xiao Yun and Liu Ziyan were left speechless by her words!
Liu Ziyan thought to herself that if her little sister didn't get married soon, she would become quite the infatuated girl.
In fact, as soon as those words left Han Xing's mouth, she felt it was inappropriate and was instantly filled with embarrassment. She felt like her brain had overheated; how could she say something like that?
Why did she have no sense of restraint in front of such a peculiar person?
Han Xing shyly covered her face with her hands and turned to run away. Unexpectedly, a hand reached out from behind and grabbed her arm.
The one who caught her was Xiao Yun. With a wicked smile on his face, he said, "Beautiful lady, let me smell your fragrance!"
This guy actually dared to do this in front of Liu Ziyan. With a slight pull, Han Xing's body fell softly into his embrace. She wanted to struggle free, but her whole body felt weak. The masculine scent of Xiao Yun overwhelmed her senses, making her feel as if she were drunk. Her starry eyes slightly opened as she leaned softly against him.
Xiao Yun brought his nose close to Han Xing's chest, his gaze falling on the alluring curve before him. He sniffed and praised, "Wow, it smells so good, truly the fragrance of a maiden!" Then he quickly let go and stepped aside.
Fortunately, Liu Ziyan acted quickly and caught Han Xing's body; otherwise, she would have collapsed helplessly to the ground.
Han Xing felt utterly embarrassed by Xiao Yun's actions, while Liu Ziyan chuckled maliciously and said, "Xing'er, with that sharp tongue of yours, what else can you say now?" Han Xing felt a deep resentment in her heart. She opened her eyes that seemed ready to spill with tears and glared fiercely at the worshipful Xiao Yun. A soft huff escaped her nose, sounding almost like a delicate gasp.
Xiao Yun, however, wore an innocent smile. The two women felt as if they had encountered their nemesis in him and resigned themselves to their fate.
As the sky darkened, Liu Ziyan arranged for Xiao Yun to have dinner at the hotel before she and Han Xing returned to the villa. Xiao Yun stayed in her hotel room.
Watching Liu Ziyan's figure from a distance, Xiao Yun felt a stir in his heart. Judging by her bone structure, she was someone skilled in martial arts and not weak at all. How had she been injured by Gu Tianfeng using the Thousand-Year Ice Needle?
On the surface, Gu Tianfeng seemed like just a lackey of the Duan Family; he appeared to be a hidden expert. Unfortunately, he had already been expelled from the Duan Family; otherwise, it would have been an opportunity to test his skills.
He would never have guessed that the person he fought with at noon was actually Gu Tianfeng.
In fact, the two women had no idea that Xiao Yun chose to cultivate in Liu Ziyan's bedroom for a reason.
While Xiao Yun was cultivating in this bedroom that afternoon, he suddenly noticed a faint Green Light emerging from the ground. The light was as refreshing as water, quickly surrounding his body and penetrating into him. It was this Green Light that, within two breaths, healed the fractured ribs in his chest.
When Xiao Yun's gaze fell upon the source of the Green Light, he was so astonished that he didn't even blink. He saw that beneath the bedroom, over three meters deep, there was an underground river filled with green stones.
Xiao Yun's intellect quickly reacted, informing him that these were Ethereal Stones.
Ethereal Stones are rare substances on Earth, containing immense Spiritual Energy. They are precious treasures for cultivators and martial artists, especially for practitioners of Ancient Martial Arts Sect. Using them as an aid, even those at the lowest Yellow Level can swiftly break through to the highest level of Earth Level.
Xiao Yun suddenly understood that the location of the Phoenix City Grand Hotel was not truly a prime spot; anyone wanting to seize Phoenix City must be after the Ethereal Stones underground.
Who discovered these Ethereal Stones? Gu Tianfeng might not have the capability, so it must be someone manipulating him from behind. Who could this person be? Could it really be Duan Haoran?
Thinking about this, Xiao Yun also concluded that since this person could discover the Ethereal Stones, they must possess extraordinary skills. They would certainly want to take control of Phoenix City, and Liu Ziyan and Han Xing would also be in danger.
Xiao Yun decided that before the other party made a move, he would quickly absorb the Spiritual Energy from these Ethereal Stones, leaving them empty-handed. This Spiritual Energy was invaluable for enhancing his cultivation; it was a treasure he couldn't pass up!
He knew that collecting the Spiritual Energy from these Ethereal Stones wouldn't be a quick task, so he told Liu Ziyan, his Sister-in-law, that he would stay here for a few days.
However, what amused Xiao Yun was that when he first met Han Xing, she had been cold and frosty, speaking in a tone that made her seem unapproachable.
But this time she seemed like a different person entirely; she had become incredibly charming. Yet from her Qi Mechanism, it was clear she wasn't a seductive woman. The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
