Chapter 2678: All very awkward

Um... I didn't mean to... Actually, I look at people with my Golden Pupil, not like you think, there's nothing improper about it.

Ye Liuyun could only continue explaining.

But the more he explained, the redder Liu Yunyao's face became, now even the base of her neck is red.

"Mm, mm..." Ye Liuyun said a sentence, and Liu Yunyao would absentmindedly agree with a sentence.

Her mind has now stopped working; whatever Ye Liuyun explains, she simply doesn't hear it.

She now only thinks that her body has been seen completely by Ye Liuyun, and from now on she can only acknowledge him as a man.

"But I still don't know him well enough! I also don't know if he has any women.

If he already had women before, then I, a princess..." She then started to indulge in random thoughts again.

Ye Liuyun saw she only agreed and didn't speak, so he stopped and waited for her to speak.

Both remained silent, the atmosphere was unusually strange.

"Um... are you alright?"

In the end, Ye Liuyun, worried she was overthinking, couldn't help but speak up and ask.

"Mm!"

Liu Yunyao gave another "mm" and then fell silent again.

"You should first practice separating the pupils of your physical body and soul, and you can't stay still forever! Actually, you can move now."

Ye Liuyun told Liu Yunyao.

"I'd rather stay seated.

If I move, I'll be even less able to separate them!"

After being reminded by Ye Liuyun, Liu Yunyao finally replied with a sentence.

Hearing her speak, Ye Liuyun finally relaxed; it seemed Liu Yunyao wasn't too upset.

"Then keep practicing; I'll wait here for you, and then I'll accompany you out to find a few fierce beasts for some combat practice."

Ye Liuyun said somewhat ingratiatingly.

He wanted to make amends, hoping Liu Yunyao wouldn't blame him.

"Mm!"

Liu Yunyao merely gave another assent and then began to concentrate on her cultivation.

She also knew she couldn't let Ye Liuyun stay here too long.

So she could only muster her focus and practice over and over.

After half an hour, she finally managed to open her physical eyes without opening the Red Eye on her soul.

As soon as her eyes opened, she glanced at Ye Liuyun, and her face reddened again to the base of her neck.

Ye Liuyun also felt embarrassed and dared not meet her gaze.

To break the awkward atmosphere, he suggested: "Let's go hunt a few fierce beasts right away to get some practice."

"Mm!"

Liu Yunyao gave another "mm", lowered her head, and followed Ye Liuyun outward.

The maidservants outside had been waiting anxiously, but knowing Liu Yunyao was cultivating, they didn't dare enter, pacing back and forth at the door in their anxiety.

Now seeing Liu Yunyao come out, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, these maidservants, especially Hong Ling, immediately noticed something odd.

Ye Liuyun's gaze was evasive; he didn't dare look at people, completely unlike his usual composed manner, giving off a feeling of guilty conscience.

And the princess kept her head lowered, her face fully flushed, as if she also didn't dare to look up at people.

"You two, did you just sleep together inside?"

Hong Ling immediately sent a mental transmission to Liu Yunyao, asking.

"You dead girl, what nonsense are you spouting! We didn't do anything!"

Liu Yunyao immediately sent a mental transmission back to her.

"Then why are your two expressions so strange?

Especially you, don't tell me nothing happened—I don't believe it!"

Hong Ling continued the mental transmission, saying.

"There's a bit of a misunderstanding... don't ask me anymore, my mind is all in a mess right now!"

Liu Yunyao wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start, so she could only explain later.

She merely instructed the maidservants: "I'm going out with Young Master Ye for a bit; just wait for me to return!"

"Yes!"

The maidservants all replied in unison.

"Princess, you're not wearing your veil!"

Hong Ling also reminded Liu Yunyao, quickly fetching her veil and having her put it on.

After Ye Liuyun and Liu Yunyao left the warship, the other three maidservants immediately gathered around Hong Ling.

"What's going on?

The princess and Master Ye seem to have something going on?"

"Yeah! Their expressions look like they're sneaking around!"

Hong Ling, however, deliberately kept them in suspense: "How would I know.

Don't go spreading rumors! These are just your guesses, not what I said! If it gets to the princess's ears, don't blame me!"

The other maidservants also had expressions of knowing exactly what was going on.

Then they all went back to rest together, exchanging knowing glances.

After Ye Liuyun went out, he released the hunting falcon, mounted it, and waited for Liu Yunyao to come up.

Liu Yunyao also followed in a daze and went up, appearing especially natural.

Outside, the martial cultivators waiting for Ye Liuyun to tame beasts saw Ye Liuyun and the princess suddenly leave together, and they were somewhat puzzled.

"What are they doing going there?"

"Should we keep waiting?"

The martial cultivators waiting for Ye Liuyun to tame beasts also curiously asked Lin feng zhi.

"Wait a bit, there's food and drink here, why are you in a hurry."

"Is it still not okay to wait a bit for someone to tame beasts?"

"Surely the princess made another request, having Master Ye help catch a monster beast."

"I estimate it won't take long; otherwise Master Ye would have let me know."

Although Lin feng zhi also wanted to know what Ye Liuyun and the princess were up to, he could still keep his composure.

Ye Liuyun's hunting falcon shot into Xingkong at full speed, then dove down, racing to the region where Celestial Being First Tier and Second Tier fierce beasts meet.

"What level is your hunting falcon at..."

Liu Yunyao also discovered this time that the hunting falcon's level is not the Celestial Being level, but the Zhuanzai Second Tier level.

"It's almost at Zhuanzai Third Tier!"

Ye Liuyun no longer concealed it from her.

"Oh!"

Liu Yunyao acknowledged with a sound, but she was still somewhat happy inside.

Because Ye Liuyun also started not hiding his strength from her, this also showed their relationship had grown closer.

Ye Liuyun directly seized a fierce beast, letting it lie still for Liu Yunyao to practice on.

Only then did Liu Yunyao have the chance to open the red pupil on her soul.

And this time she held nothing back; the red pupil's full effect was unleashed, directly devouring the fierce beast's soul.

Although her soul power was relatively weak, making the devouring process a bit slow.

But the fierce beast, under Ye Liuyun's control, could not resist, and she ultimately succeeded as well.

"Close the red pupil and feel the absorption of soul power and the increase in your soul power."

Ye Liuyun reminded Liu Yunyao.

This time, when Liu Yunyao closed the red pupil, she also closed her own eyes along with it.

Ye Liuyun held back from laughing out loud.

He waited until she finished feeling the sensation of devouring soul power, sensed her soul strengthening, then she opened her eyes; this time the red pupil did not open with them.

"I felt it."

"After the red pupil devoured the fierce beast's soul, it began to transform, transferring about one-tenth of the soul power to me."

"The rest was devoured by that red pupil."

Ye Liuyun nodded and told her: "Absorbing soul power like this requires pairing with a soul-condensing elixir."

"Otherwise, though the soul power would also grow, it would be insubstantial."

"A soul-condensing elixir?"

Liu Yunyao looked at Ye Liuyun, somewhat confused.

"We don't have this kind of elixir here."

Ye Liuyun also recalled that their pill-refining skill here was average, so he took out plenty of the soul-condensing elixir he himself used and handed it to Liu Yunyao.
