Chapter 635: Chapter 408: Calamity_2

Xu Yuan looked back, sweeping his gaze over the exquisite curves beneath Tian Ye’s black skirt with a knowing chuckle:

"I’m not talking about healing wounds."

Having seen that expression again, Tian Ye didn’t show the slightest bit of nervousness despite having been tricked once; instead, she asked with interest:

"Not the wounds? Then what are you referring to?"

"That... you’ll know when the time comes."

...

...

...

Time passed quietly,

Under the sustenance of Yin Soul Fluid, the supreme treasure for nourishing the soul, and various other Soul Nourishing Elixirs, Xu Yuan’s completely torn Primeval Spirit gradually began to reform and heal.

The first day passed, and his nearly paralyzed body could already barely stand and walk.

By the third day, his body showed no sign of illness.

By the fifth day, Xu Yuan could already try to extend his Will-spirit outside his body, although using it still caused some pain.

Time flew like a white steed flashing past a gap, and eight days passed in the blink of an eye.....

...

The dark cavern remained as silent as ever, the only change being the dimming divine light on the rune prison that trapped Tian Ye.

After ceasing his cultivation technique and just opening his eyes, before Xu Yuan could make any movement, he immediately heard Tian Ye’s cheerful voice next to his ear:

"How’s the healing going? Looking at the state of this tomb of the sealed, it’s about time for us to leave, huh~"

"......." Xu Yuan ignored her and simply scanned the cavern with his Will-spirit, noting that Tianyan was nowhere to be found.

"Hm... not going to talk to me? That was a well-intentioned reminder, and after all, we are both grasshoppers on the same rope now....."

"..."

Listening to Tian Ye’s prattle, Xu Yuan rubbed his temples which felt a little swollen from absorbing an excessive amount of Yin Soul Fluid.

It was his first time encountering such a talkative woman.

In these eight days, he and Tianyan had barely spoken, while Tian Ye, caged in the rune jail, chattered on incessantly like a repeater crossbow whenever she had the chance.

Even without someone to engage her, she could chuckle to herself and ramble on and on.

Like someone talking to themselves in a frenzy, but oddly enough, many of the topics she brought up on her own deeply interested Xu Yuan.

After all, Tian Ye was willing to reveal some information about the Jiatiange.

In silence, Xu Yuan asked with a slight frown:

"Where is Tianyan?"

Tian Ye pointed in the direction of the cave’s exit:

"She left half a day ago; if you’re wondering what she’s up to, I don’t know."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan swallowed the question he wanted to ask, but at that moment, Tian Ye giggled and continued:

"However, if you were to plead with me a little, I could assume the identity of a ’Tianyan’ to help you speculate the reason for her departure."

"What could Tianyan possibly be doing at this time?"

While saying this, Xu Yuan pointed to his eyes to suggest, "Your disappearance must be a big deal within the Jiatiange. Tianyan’s leaving at this point is surely to confirm the safety outside the cave, especially given that your golden pupils seem able to see some traces that are invisible to ordinary people."

"Oh? She actually told you about that?"

Tian Ye seemed surprised, then giggled, "I thought she was a person who would strictly fulfill her responsibilities as the Saintess."

Xu Yuan stood up from the ground and casually replied:

"She mentioned it just a while ago."

"Just a while ago, huh? It looks like that’s all she told you... hey, do you want to know more about the Yantian Art?"

"Are you talking about that previous proposal?" Xu Yuan looked up.

"Right."

Tian Ye sat on a boulder with her legs crossed, supporting her cheek in her hand and smiling alluringly, "You just need to tell me what the world is like twenty thousand years later, and I will share with you some of the most top-level information about the Jiatiange, how about that?"

"Isn’t that the same as giving it away for free?" Xu Yuan complained.

"No, this is a trade," Tian Ye said nonchalantly, her slender fingers twirling a strand of hair, "I want to know what the world would be like twenty thousand years later, and you want to know all sorts of information about the Jiatiange. Each gets what they need, a fair and unusual trade, isn’t it?"

"....."

Although intrigued, Xu Yuan still showed no sign of agreement to the topic.

One reason was because of their shallow acquaintance; he wasn’t sure if Tian Ye would deceive him.

The other was because of Tianyan.

Information about the Jiatiange was important to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, but first, he needed to take care of the person before him.

Respect is mutual.

If he, the Third Young Master of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, truly learned almost all the secrets of the Jiatiange from Tian Ye, it would become a thorn in Tianyan’s side.

After all, although Tianyan is also a Saintess of the Jiatiange, she was not like Tian Ye the dutiful daughter.

Shrugging, Xu Yuan tapped his forehead with his index finger mockingly:

"Cut out the attempts to sow discord; they’re useless on me."

"Tsk, have I been found out?"

Tian Ye’s face showed a hint of displeasure, and she sighed, "You really do have deep feelings for that woman."

"Perhaps."

Xu Yuan noncommittally responded and then asked curiously, "But Tian Ye, don’t you have any loyalty towards the Jiatiange?"

Hearing that, Tian Ye smiled sweetly, her eyes forming beautiful crescents, and spoke at ease:

"Of course, there is loyalty."

Xu Yuan chuckled sarcastically:

"Is there? If you were to tell me these things, the Jiatiange would probably find it difficult to operate. The power I belong to in reality is much stronger than the Jiatiange."

Tian Ye’s eyes brightened, and she immediately asked blinking:

"Oh? There will be Sects stronger than the Jiatiange twenty thousand years later?"

"Heh."

Xu Yuan chuckled, staring at her and remaining silent.

Tian Ye pouted her lips:

"Tsk, you really are a bad guy, just teasing other people’s cravings."
