Chapter 86: Liang Xue

Songtao had heard Han Shan say before that Ye Liuyun was wasteful, and now finally believes it.

This guy really doesn't treat points as treasure! He spends them so casually! But Ye Liuyun doesn't care; after all he has money, so he's willful!

Later Ye Liuyun went to Wanbaoge again and bought a lot of clothes. They had lost too many garments on the battlefield, so they had to replenish some.

Then he called Liang Xue, and the two of them, together with Lei Ming, went out for a big feast, celebrating his narrow escape from death.

He has few friends in this county town; only Liang Xue is closest to him, and he trusts Liang Xue a lot. After all, the two have lived and died together, having braved Henglin Shanmai.

During the meal he talked about this great battle.

Upon learning that Ye Liuyun defeated a Martial Cultivator of True Essence Ninth Layer, Liang Xue was even more shocked.

But after that great battle, Ye Liuyun had become indifferent to life and death, speaking very casually.

Liang Xue could guess how fierce the fight was just from seeing his Qingyun Blade reduced to scrap.

Ye Liuyun's Qingyun Blade was originally a low‑grade Earth Tier weapon, which he later upgraded to a mid‑grade Earth Tier.

Liang Xue examined Ye Liuyun closely and found his recent changes were indeed great. He had grown taller, his face showed iron‑blooded resolve. His overall aura became increasingly outstanding, exuding boundless charm.

Thinking back to when I first met him, he was only at Body Refinement Fourth Level; in Henglin Shanmai he was at Body Refinement Sixth and Seventh Levels, and when he left Fengyang City he had reached Body Refinement Eighth Level. By the time we met again he was already at True Origin Double. Now he is at True Origin Triple, and likely will break through again soon!

In less than six months, this guy has almost advanced a whole major realm! This speed can be described as terrifying.

Now, although I am at True Origin Quadruple, I'm no longer his match! If I don't work harder, I fear I won't be able to keep up with Ye Liuyun's steps.

Liang Xue looked at Ye Liuyun, and the more she watched, the more masculine he seemed! She couldn't help to rest her hand on her fragrant cheek, staring at him dazedly.

Having drunk a lot with Ye Liuyun, at this moment her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes seductive as silk, her brows and eyes conveying affection, unintentionally displaying her charm to the fullest.

She didn't even know why, when she's with Ye Liuyun she feels especially relaxed and doesn't want to hide anything. This side of her, perhaps only Ye Liuyun has ever seen.

"Is this the charm of a mature woman? Who could resist it!"

Ye Liuyun felt a stir in his heart. Seeing Liang Xue's stunning posture, his Bloodline Power surged throughout his body, and he dared not look longer. The Ten Thousand Gods Command released Golden Light in the Sea of Consciousness, helping him suppress his Bloodline.

He thought Liang Xue must have triggered the Bloodline Power, otherwise it wouldn't have stirred his Bloodline.

The private room fell into an uncanny silence for a moment.

Finally Ye Liuyun broke the awkwardness and asked, "Sister Liang, is this your Bloodline Power?"

Liang Xue only then sobered up and hurried to control her Bloodline Power.

She gave Ye Liuyun an apologetic, charming smile but gave no explanation. She thought of her family background and Bloodline Power, which created a huge chasm between them.

To break this resistance, Ye Liuyun's excellence alone is insufficient. Moreover, to match Ye Liuyun, one must have strength.

So she instantly made a difficult decision: stop evading and accept her family's cultivation arrangement, to quickly boost her strength.

She had previously roamed everywhere to avoid her family urging her to cultivate. She once thought her realm was sufficient, but now compared with Ye Liuyun, she realized the gap was huge.

And once she gains strength, she will also have a voice.

Although she must temporarily part from Ye Liuyun, it's only temporary. A short pain is better than a long one!

She suddenly said to Ye Liuyun, "Brother, quickly help me refine more pills that can strengthen Bloodline Power and realms. I need to intensify my cultivation!"

Ye Liuyun was completely at a loss at her sudden request, but still agreed, "Alright, I'll go back tonight and refine more pills."

"The quantity must be enough for me to reach the Sea Transformation realm!" Liang Xue added.

"Huh?" Ye Liuyun shouted in surprise, looking oddly at Liang Xue.

"Hurry back to refine pills! I'll gather the materials for you." Liang Xue said, urging Ye Liuyun to return quickly.

Liang Xue didn't dare stay with Ye Liuyun any longer. If she kept looking, she might become reluctant to leave!

Ye Liuyun was left bewildered. After returning, he kept complaining, "That Liang Xue, I don't know what she's crazy about!"

But since he'd already promised, he'd better refine the pills quickly; Liang Xue's required amount was large, plenty to keep him busy.

A few days later, he went to deliver the pills to Liang Xue.

His pill‑refining skill had improved; sixty percent of this batch reached mid‑grade Mysterious Tier, which also lifted his spirits.

"If you weren't in such a hurry, my refining skill would improve later!" Ye Liuyun said to Liang Xue.

Liang Xue accepted the pills, then gave him a lot of ingredients. Afterwards she took his Zi Card and loaded it with five million mid‑grade Crystal Stone value.

"What are you doing?" Ye Liuyun asked in surprise.

"I didn't gather all the ingredients, so these Crystal Stones are compensation for you. In the future, with the Zi Card you can trade at any shop under Wanbaoge without needing to carry Crystal Stones. Moreover, this Zi Card allows Wanbaoge's experts to intervene three times to help you through crises," Liang Xue said.

"What does that mean? Are you leaving?" Ye Liuyun immediately realized and hurriedly asked.

Liang Xue forced a smile at him. "I'm going to cultivate. Otherwise I'll be left far behind by you!"

Ye Liuyun was stunned by her words. No wonder Liang Xue seemed so odd today.

"Oh!" he replied, not knowing what to say. The news came too suddenly!

"Will you remember me?" Liang Xue fought back tears, lowered her head and asked softly.

"Of course!" Ye Liuyun answered instinctively.

When Liang Xue looked up at him again, a tear slid down her cheek. She then couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

Ye Liuyun stood blankly, not knowing where to place his hands.

The suddenly learned news and the abrupt embrace already left Ye Liuyun a bit dazed.

"Wooden!" Liang Xue muttered after letting go, scolding him.

"When your strength improves, remember to come find me…"

After seeing Liang Xue off, Ye Liuyun lost the good mood he had when he arrived.

Logically, since Liang Xue is going to cultivate, he should be happy for her.

He thought his bad mood was because he wasn't mentally prepared; Liang Xue left too abruptly.

They had just entered the mansion gate when Song Yi ran toward them, shouting from afar:

"Junior brother, where have you been running off to? You scared me to death!"

"What's wrong? Senior brother, what happened?" Ye Liuyun saw his anxious expression and also became nervous.

"The Ninth Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty has arrived! It's said he will go to the frontier to supervise the battle. The Prince is not here, so he went to the North Royal Mansion. Now we are gathering those who have participated in battles to understand the situation. Only you is missing; everyone else has already gone ahead!" Song Yi said urgently.

"Why doesn't he go directly to the frontier but comes here to ask what's going on? Song Tao could go just fine! Do I really have to go?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"You'd better hurry up and go! That faction of the Ninth Prince usually doesn't get along with the Prince; the Prince has to be careful dealing with them. If you don't go, you'll give them leverage, and later it will put the Prince in a difficult position." Song Yi explained.

"Oh! Then I'll go!" Ye Liuyun couldn't refuse either, and followed Song Yi as they rushed over.
