Chapter 92: Chapter 89: The Identity of the Mysterious Person

"You’re awake."

Upon seeing Ye Xuan awaken, the mysterious figure in the black robe only greeted him lightly, then a very pleasant female voice sounded from beneath the loose black robe.

"Um. Thank you for saving my life."

Hearing this female voice undoubtedly made Ye Xuan even more puzzled. The other party was also veiled, making it truly difficult for him to guess her identity.

As for his words of thanks, the woman in the black robe seemed as if she hadn’t heard him at all; she simply sat down at the center of the stone cave. Then, with a flip of her palm, a black medicinal furnace was taken out of the black ring she was wearing.

"Qiankun Ring?"

Ye Xuan caught sight of the black ring and was immediately taken aback. It appeared that this woman in the black robe was indeed no ordinary person—at least, she was not someone who could be compared to anyone from the Jun family.

Ye Xuan was somewhat speechless watching the woman in the black robe silently tend to her herbs by herself. It seemed that her temperament was rather cold. If that was the case, he decided not to talk too much; speaking too much might irritate her.

Unable to find a suitable opportunity, Ye Xuan also wasn’t in a rush to ask about her identity.

The woman in the black robe didn’t initiate any conversation either. She continued taking out various herbs from the Qiankun Ring, some she squeezed into juice, others she ground into powder, then finally tossed them into the medicinal furnace.

Among those herbs were many that were quite expensive. With Ye Xuan’s knowledge, he naturally recognized them all and could also guess what the woman in the black robe intended to concoct.

After finishing all of this, she started a fire to begin the alchemy process.

This scene sparked quite an interest in Ye Xuan. The woman in the black robe was concocting a topical healing medicine, which was not just any ordinary healing medicine. This prescription must have been very valuable, one not ordinarily possessed by regular people.

However, watching her process of concoction, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but want to remind her.

"Ahem, um, you are trying to make Jade Marrow Powder, right? Don’t set the heat too high, it’s best to control it with True Qi to about seventy percent. Lastly, it’s best to add a little Ilex powder into the medicine to mitigate the overly potent force of the herbs, ensuring it won’t damage the patient’s bones and tendons."

Ye Xuan slightly reminded her.

"You know how to concoct medicines?"

The woman in the black robe finally spoke, her eyes showing a bit of surprise as she looked at Ye Xuan.

"Just a little."

Ye Xuan saw the woman’s eyes; they were not the eyes of a normal human, because they were completely gemstone blue! Just one glance was mesmerizing, trapping him deeply.

However, a remnant Martial Arts Primordial Spirit was still present in Ye Xuan’s mind, making such enchantment ineffective on him.

Yet, this effect did certainly exist.

Based on his deduction, there were only two possibilities. One was that she had cultivated some secret technique that made her eyes appear this way. The other was that this woman in the black robe was not a human at all but a third-rank Demon Beast in human form!

Just as Ye Xuan was starting to piece together his guesses, the woman in the black robe had already finished preparing the medicine and came towards him. He saw that her hands now held a jade bowl which contained an extremely viscous white liquid that resembled paste.

"Forget it, whether she’s human or demon... The most important thing is she saved my life. That’s enough."

Ye Xuan didn’t think much further. He himself didn’t shun the Demon Clan, and his own birth mother was from a Demon Clan outside the territory, so technically, he could even be considered half a member of the Demon Clan. Moreover, if she wanted to harm him, there was no need to save his life in the first place, let alone specially cook medicine for him.

Just as he formed this thought, he suddenly felt a pair of cold hands starting to unbutton his clothes, which made Ye Xuan’s face change slightly. Then he looked at the woman in the black robe in front of him undoing his clothes, and a strange thought came to his mind.

"Miss, before you start unbuttoning a man’s clothes, don’t you think you should first ask his opinion?"

Ye Xuan murmured. After all, there should be some distinction between men and women, and this was becoming too bold. Even though Ye Xuan was the youngest Martial God in the Heavenly Realm, he had never indulged in lust, a significant reason why he achieved so much at a young age.

"Then solve it yourself."

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the woman in the black robe actually stopped her actions decisively, and after a grunt, she picked up the jade bowl and walked away.

"Wait, I was just kidding, please continue."

Right now, it was extremely difficult for Ye Xuan to move. Asking him to apply the medicine himself was like asking for his life. Her being indifferent about gender, what did he have to worry about, losing his virtue?

Tearing open the blood-stained outer garments, the layer of Secret Silver Armor beneath was revealed. On the armor, many varied traces were apparent, and blood had already congealed on it. If it weren’t for this layer of Secret Silver Armor, Ye Xuan would have sustained more severe injuries and might not have survived till now.

Carefully peeling off the Secret Silver Armor from Ye Xuan’s body, the congealed blood meant that some sections of flesh had adhered to the armor causing inevitable tearing of large patches of flesh during its removal. This intense pain made Ye Xuan unavoidably gasp for air.

With the Secret Silver Armor removed, Ye Xuan’s body, filled with scars, was fully exposed. Though his body wasn’t burly and even appeared somewhat lean, it was extremely resilient. Despite suffering from numerous grievous wounds, his body still held on.

Looking at this body covered in lesions, the eyes of the woman in the black robe softened slightly. She poured the white medicinal liquid from the bowl onto her jade-like hands, and without any hesitation, gently applied it to Ye Xuan’s wounds. Her smooth skin passed over his injuries without causing a hint of pain but instead brought a tingling sensation.

At that moment, a look of enjoyment appeared on Ye Xuan’s face. Indeed, a woman’s hands are gentle, and it seems they naturally excel at nurturing. If it had been some gruff man applying the medicine, Ye Xuan’s expression would not have been the same.

"I have a question that I’ve been wanting to ask,"

When the timing seemed right, Ye Xuan’s eyes became slightly serious, "Why did you save me? We don’t seem to know each other, do we?"

After interacting with this woman in the black robe, Ye Xuan was certain he did not recognize her. But why would a stranger save his life at a critical moment?

This time, the woman in the black robe didn’t intend to remain silent. After finishing with the medicine, she indifferently spoke up, "Saving you was a task I was given."

"Task?"

A look of surprise crossed Ye Xuan’s face, and he frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, "Who exactly are you? Or should I say, are you not even human?"

When Ye Xuan made that latter comment, the woman in the black robe stiffened slightly, and a trace of surprise flickered through her blue eyes.

However, this surprise was fleeting, and without another word, she placed her palm directly on Ye Xuan’s chest. The next moment, a mysterious green energy flowed from her palm into Ye Xuan’s body, resembling thousands of threads piercing into his bloodstream.

Suddenly...

In just a moment, Ye Xuan felt as if a latent power deep within his body was awakened. His body resonated with the green energy released by the woman in the black robe, as if the two were inherently connected.

"It’s Bloodline Power, this woman possesses the same Bloodline Power as I do!"

Ye Xuan’s expression changed dramatically. He possessed half of the Demon Clan’s bloodline, and this action by the woman in the black robe indicated that her blood lineage was the same as his. She was from the extraterritorial Demon Clan! And she must have had some close relation to his mother.

"Who are you, actually?"

Unable to suppress the shock on his face, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but ask. Could this person be his biological mother, the Demon Clan woman named Su Ying?

"My name is Ye Mei. Your mother entrusted me to intervene at a critical moment and save your life."

However, the next response from the woman in the black robe dashed the hope in Ye Xuan’s heart. Nonetheless, he wasn’t too disappointed; although he didn’t meet his mother in person, the fact that this woman in the black robe was sent by her certainly suggested that he at least occupied some place in his mother’s thoughts.

But why then, had she never made contact over the years? Not even coming back once to see him?

Moreover, during the time Ye Xiao was ambushed, the main force consisted of powerful members from the extraterritorial Demon Clan. Could it be that those who forced Ye Xiao to his death were her people?

"What exactly happened back then? Why wasn’t my mother by my father Ye Xiao’s side when he was attacked?"

Ye Xuan felt incredibly restless. He didn’t know what feelings to hold towards this mother he had never met. Perhaps his father Ye Xiao’s death was indecipherably linked to her?

"Your mother had her own difficulties, which you should not question. All I can tell you is that due to a mistake she made back then, her situation has always been tough, and when Ye Xiao died, she was already imprisoned. Right now, with your limited strength, knowing more is useless. You can’t even handle the Jun family, let alone your real enemies, who are far more powerful than they." The woman in the black robe glanced at Ye Xuan and shook her head.

"My real enemies?"

Ye Xuan’s expression changed slightly. Destroying the Jun family was just the first step; his ultimate goal was those Demon Clan masters. From the words of the woman in the black robe, it seemed that the incident from more than a dozen years ago wasn’t orchestrated by his mother’s side.

"Then you should at least tell me what force it is, so I have a clear direction."

No matter how powerful the enemy, Ye Xuan was confident that he could eliminate them to avenge his father. The encounter with the Jun family was a result of him being too impulsive, but he wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

Moreover, he wasn’t a rash person; even if he learned everything, he wouldn’t blindly seek revenge without sufficient strength.

"I’ll tell you then."

A flicker of emotion passed through the eyes of the woman in the black robe, and after a moment’s hesitation, she continued, "Once you reach the Martial Sect Master Realm, if you truly wish to seek vengeance, head to the Chaotic Sea Domain. Your enemy is one of the rulers there."

"Fifth Grade Demon Clan power, Sky Demon Mountain."
