Chapter 118: Yin-Yang Dao Body

~7 min read 1,377 words

Xingyue Grand Hotel.

Su Xi brought Xiao Mi to check into the garden suite on the top floor; the open Rooftop Garden allowed for outdoor barbecues and free movement.

Xiao Mi swung on the garden swing, looking toward the suite balcony opposite.

A man wearing a white mask on his face was leaning against the rooftop railing, smoking.

After noticing Xiao Mi's gaze, the man looked over.

Seeing that it was a particularly cute and pretty little girl, the man gave her a friendly smile and stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.

"Hello there." Xiao Mi jumped down from the swing and took the initiative to greet the man.

"Hello, where is your family?" the man asked.

Xiao Mi pointed toward Su Xi, who was bowing her head to prepare barbecue ingredients, "My older sister."

"Hmm. How old are you?" the man asked casually.

Xiao Mi replied, "I won't tell you; my sister said that a girl's age is a secret and cannot be told to others."

"Sorry, it was my rudeness." The man reached into the flower bed, plucked a yellow rose, and gave it to Xiao Mi.

"It's okay." Xiao Mi took the yellow rose and returned to the swing, "Do you want to eat with us?"

"Thanks for the kind offer, but no need," the man replied.

'Pop~ pop-pop~ pop-pop-pop~...' A burst of popping sounds, neither too loud nor too quiet, rang out.

Su Xi raised her head, looked at the frying pan placed on the grill, and called out to Xiao Mi, "The popcorn is almost ready, what flavor do you want to eat?"

When the man saw Su Xi's face, he immediately froze in a daze.

Xiao Mi: "Sister, I want to eat snow-peach flavor."

Su Xi looked through the spices, "There is no snow-peach flavor, do you want to try strawberry? This one is also very fragrant and sweet."

"Okay," Xiao Mi responded.

The man said to Su Xi, "May I have a portion?"

Seeing his eyes staring straight at Su Xi, Xiao Mi raised her little hand and said, "Don't you dare have any ideas about my sister, or I won't spare you."

Su Xi: "... Xiao Mi!"

Then she said to the man apologetically, "We made quite a lot, we can give you a portion."

Xiao Mi jumped down from the swing again and ran toward Su Xi, "Sister."

Su Xi hugged her, "What's wrong?"

"When is the idiot brother coming over?" Xiao Mi asked.

Su Xi chuckled, "We agreed, he isn't coming this time."

Xiao Mi, "Will Sister take advantage of the idiot brother's absence to fall for another male?"

Su Xi stroked her head and replied with a gentleness tinged with sweetness, "Of course not, Sister and Brother have a great relationship."

Xiao Mi looked at the man, then possessively hugged Su Xi's neck, "I absolutely won't let you snatch Sister away."

The man raised his hand and took off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome and bewitching face.

Su Xi looked at him, unable to help but be stunned, "It's you. You're bold enough to actually dare to come here."

It was none other than Ye Chenyu.

Ye Chenyu looked at her, curled his lips in a wicked, charming way, and whispered, "Keep it a secret."

"...?" Su Xi realized belatedly, "Wait, why is there no corpse-ghost aura on you... and what is going on with your spiritual ability?"

Ye Chenyu pointed at her popcorn pot, "Is it ready yet? I don't hear any movement."

"... Ah!" Su Xi hurriedly moved the pot to the white jade stone table and picked up the strawberry-flavored spice bottle to begin seasoning.

After seeing Ye Chenyu's face, Xiao Mi was no longer worried. Because he looked exactly like Rong Shou; facing such a face, Sister would absolutely not have any improper or transgressive thoughts.

"Sister, Sister, let me put it in."

"Sure." Su Xi gave the spice bottle to Xiao Mi, letting her season it herself.

Xiao Mi excitedly took the bottle, tasted it first; it was fragrant and sweet with a hint of tartness, "Delicious, sprinkle more."

Su Xi let her play however she liked; as long as she was happy, if she messed it up, they could just pop another pot.

"Please sit." Su Xi invited Ye Chenyu to take a seat at the dining table and opened a bottle of red wine gifted by the hotel, "We don't have those special drinks of yours here!"

"I never drink those either," Ye Chenyu replied.

Su Xi looked at him with suspicious eyes; after all, she had seen the drinks he stored.

Ye Chenyu did not explain further, picked up the decanter, then took the wine from Su Xi's hand, poured the fragrant red wine into the decanter, and swirled it gently.

"The strawberry-flavored popcorn is ready." Xiao Mi placed a large plate of popcorn on the dining table.

Su Xi prepared her exclusive juice, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Mi~ Why don't you keep the big brother company while eating? Sister is going to prepare the barbecue."

"Do you need help?" Ye Chenyu asked.

Su Xi replied, "No need, everything is already prepared."

Xiao Mi ate a piece of popcorn, peered at Ye Chenyu, and asked in a quiet, secretive whisper, "Big brother, you are a Dao Body of Yin and Yang, right?"

Ye Chenyu's eyes, black as the dark night, narrowed slightly, then he smiled as if nothing were the matter, "What is a Dao Body of Yin and Yang?"

Xiao Mi continued, "Born with both Yin and Yang sides, yet born in mutual restraint. If you can't control it well, it's easy to go insane, but if you control it well, attaining the Dao and becoming a saint might allow you to cultivate the Laws of Yin and Yang."

"What are the Laws of Yin and Yang?"

"The Laws of Yin and Yang are one of the fundamental laws of the universe, capable of creating heaven and earth." Xiao Mi took a small sip of juice through a straw, "Although the Dao Body of Yin and Yang is rare, it is extremely difficult to cultivate. You are still very, very far away."

"Xiao Mi, do you eat spicy food?" Su Xi began to grill meat skewers.

Xiao Mi ran over immediately, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

Su Xi put a small apron on her, put on a mask and a hat, and after she was fully geared up, placed her on a stool, "Chef Xiao Mi, please feel free to show your skills."

Xiao Mi happily took the seasoning jars and began to sprinkle spices on the meat.

Ye Chenyu walked over, rolled up his sleeves, took a few skewers of vegetables from the basin containing the ingredients, and placed them on the grill, "Did you notice that for a moment today, a Sun appeared in the sky?"

"That wasn't a Sun," Xiao Mi replied.

"Is that so? If it wasn't a Sun, then what was it?" Ye Chenyu asked.

Su Xi patted Xiao Mi's head and said to Ye Chenyu, "Children say whatever comes to mind, Mr. Yu need not take it seriously."

Xiao Mi glanced at Su Xi, obediently stopped talking, and earnestly sprinkled sauce onto the meat skewers.

Ye Chenyu said, "It's fine, Xiao Mi has unique insights and imagination; if cultivated well, his future attainments will surely be limitless."

"You flatter him," Su Xi smiled charmingly.

Xiao Mi handed the grilled meat skewers to Ye Chenyu, "Big brother, have a taste."

Ye Chenyu took them, ate a bite... and praised in surprise, "The taste is just right!"

"It's cooked, right?" Xiao Mi asked.

"The heat is just perfect," Ye Chenyu nodded.

Only then did Xiao Mi give the other meat skewers to Su Xi, "It seems there's no problem, sister, eat quickly."

Ye Chenyu: "..."

【Er Miao, did you see anything about him?】 Ever since she saw him, Su Xi had let Er Miao scan Ye Chenyu.

She always felt that this person was both Ye Chenyu and yet not him.
