Chapter 2677: Really Read

Don't hurry to open your eyes; strengthen a while longer, and also rest your soul a bit.

Ye Liuyun immediately sent a mental transmission to Liu Yunyao, telling her to let her soul consolidate a while longer.

Liu Yunyao obediently followed Ye Liuyun's instructions and continued to cultivate with closed eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun couldn't help laughing: "I meant you shouldn't open the newly refined red eye on your soul, not that you shouldn't open your physical eyes! You're really stupid!"

For Ye Liuyun, separating soul and body is quite easy.

But for Liu Yunyao, who hasn't practiced, it's difficult.

She tried to open her physical eyes, but the red eye in her soul would also open along with them.

So she could only keep them closed.

She wanted to ask Ye Liuyun what to do, but dared not speak.

"Speaking now won't delay anything!"

Seeing her anxious look, Ye Liuyun guessed she wanted to speak and immediately reminded her.

"But if I want to open my eyes, the red eye just refined on my soul will also open together."

Only then did Liu Yunyao open her mouth to ask Ye Liuyun.

"Then just practice a bit."

"Separate control of soul and body!"

Ye Liuyun withdrew his golden pupil and no longer paid attention to her.

The refinement is now complete; just need to consolidate a bit.

Even if Liu Yunyao mistakenly opens that red eye, it won't matter anymore.

Liu Yunyao also continued trying there, but as soon as her eyes opened halfway, a red light shot out from her sea of consciousness toward Ye Liuyun.

This red light can only be seen by Ye Liuyun's golden pupil and Liu Yunyao's eyes that are able to perceive divine soul power.

Fortunately, Ye Liuyun's sea of consciousness contained the Ten Thousand Gods Command, which immediately emitted golden light, blocking that red light.

"Ah!"

Liu Yunyao let out a cry, realizing the red light had struck Ye Liuyun, and immediately closed her eyes.

That cry startled Hong ling and the others, who rushed in, thinking something had happened.

"How are you?"

"I didn't mean to! Are you hurt?"

Liu Yunyao kept her eyes closed, didn't dare move, and anxiously asked Ye Liuyun.

"Sigh, I'm really exasperated with you!"

Ye Liuyun sighed: "You're really stupid."

"Fortunately it's me; if it were someone else, this blow would probably have directly annihilated your soul."

"I really didn't mean to! I just couldn't control it just now."

"How are you?"

"Are you hurt?"

Liu Yunyao's voice sounded even more anxious.

Ye Liuyun then said: "I'm fine."

"If I were hurt, could I still be talking to you?"

"Keep practicing; if you don't learn to control that red eye, don't open your eyes, otherwise this could be fatal."

"Have your maidservants retreat as well, so you don't accidentally hurt them."

"They were just startled by your shout."

Hong ling and the others had been pointing their sharp swords at Ye Liuyun, but now they finally understood it was the princess herself who cried out during her cultivation, not Ye Liuyun intending harm, so they lowered their swords.

"All of you retreat! I just finished refining that red eye, but I didn't control it well just now."

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry; Young Master Ye won't hurt me!"

Liu Yunyao also immediately told the maidservants to retreat.

"You're really okay?"

After the maidservants had retreated, Liu Yunyao again asked Ye Liuyun with a concerned expression.

"If there were any harm, you'd have destroyed one of my souls; you'd owe me ten primordial powers!"

Ye Liuyun joked with her.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun say that, Liu Yunyao realized he was indeed fine.

"You still know how to joke; you just scared me to death!"

Liu Yunyao said resentfully.

"Who made you so stupid! Do you realize that just now, if it had been someone else, you would have already annihilated their soul?"

Ye Liuyun also solemnly told Liu Yunyao.

He also gave her a suggestion: "I suggest you first practice controlling your physical eyes and soul eyes separately, then keep your soul eyes closed."

"I'll take you out to hunt a few ferocious beasts so you can feel the power before we continue."

"Fine! That'll be troublesome for you again!"

Liu Yunyao agreed.

"Not troublesome! Just give me another primordial power and it's fine!"

Ye Liuyun laughed.

"You still have the nerve to ask me for primordial power; I almost got killed by you!"

Liu Yunyao also blamed Ye Liuyun.

Huh?

You don't thank me for saving you, yet you blame me for harming you?

Clearly it was your lack of focus that almost made you go berserk! If I hadn't stepped in to save you, your Soul would have already scattered!

Ye Liuyun also started arguing with her.

"It wasn't you who harmed me first; why would I need you to save me?"

Liu Yunyao also retorted.

"You have to make that clear—how did I harm you?"

Ye Liuyun asked in confusion.

"Who let you peek at me… that's what distracted me!"

Liu Yunyao blurted it out, but immediately flushed, feeling she shouldn't have said it.

"You're talking nonsense.

I was staring at your Sea of Consciousness then; I never looked at your Physical Body!"

Ye Liuyun grew impatient.

This concerns his character, so it must be clarified.

"Then didn't I also see… I can feel it, you… you completely saw through me!"

Liu Yunyao stammered.

"I…" Ye Liuyun wanted to argue with her, but suddenly thought that perhaps with her Divine Soul Power she still couldn't discern what Ye Liuyun was looking at.

So he immediately said, "I won't argue with you.

Your Divine Soul Power is weak; you can't tell the difference.

I'll demonstrate for you; you experience it yourself carefully."

Speaking that, he reactivated his Golden Pupil and looked into Liu Yunyao's Sea of Consciousness.

"Right, that was the feeling just now! You're still looking at me!"

Liu Yunyao quickly affirmed and told Ye Liuyun not to look again.

"What I'm seeing is your Soul.

There's no way I'm looking at your Physical Body! If you don't believe, try feeling it again!"

Ye Liuyun immediately used his Golden Pupil again to look at her Physical Body.

This time, Ye Liuyun truly saw through Liu Yunyao.

Liu Yunyao carefully sensed it and indeed felt it was different.

The feeling was as if all the clothes on her body vanished, as though someone had seen her completely.

It was clearly different from the earlier feeling of her Soul being seen through.

"Now what I'm seeing is your Physical Body; you understand the difference now, right?"

Only then did Ye Liuyun withdraw his gaze, letting her feel for herself.

"It's different!"

Liu Yunyao also admitted.

But then she realized that Ye Liuyun truly looked at her body this time, and her face instantly flushed red.

"Exactly! So don't frame me.

I didn't peek at you before.

Back then I was focusing on you refining that Red Eye.

It's not as lewd as you think!"

Ye Liuyun finally let out a sigh of relief; the matter was finally clarified.

"You… you… you really looked at me just now!"

Liu Yunyao said, her voice trembling.

"Um… wasn't I trying to clear things up with you! Otherwise you'd be confused and think I'm a lecher…" Ye Liuyun explained, but he suddenly couldn't go on.

"It seems I really did look at her! Oh dear, what should I do?"

Ye Liuyun had just been busy explaining to her.

In fact, when he usually uses his Golden Pupil to look at others, he harbors no lewd thoughts; after getting used to it, it feels nothing.

But Liu Yunyao would certainly not think that; after all, she's a princess.

Now that she's been seen completely, it won't end well.
