Chapter 61: Same Thoughts, Different Minds

After entering the forest, Yun Shu seemed to be distracted by something as he started to walk aimlessly without reaching for destination.

Though Bai Yunxian noticed, he didn’t stop Yun Shu, quitely following her from behind, till she stopped in her tracks abruptly all of a sudden.

Bai Yunxian wasn’t looking where he was going, so he bumped into Yun Shu’s back and stopped walking, making a noise softly.

"Oww."

"Don’t you see where you are going? Being too distracted in things won’t do you any good."

Yun Shu’s voice was soft when she turned around and held Bai Yunxian, scolding him gently.

The voice made him surprised as Bai Yunxian looked up at Yun Shu, the anxiety was clear in his eyes as he was looking at Bai Yunxian.

"This jungle has various types of bloodthirsty creatures, be a little more conscious of your surroundings."

It wasn’t entirely false either. Since there has been a setting like this in the game, this world has all kinds of fantasy creatures creeping around everywhere. And this forest wasn’t something different either.

But Bai Yunxian didn’t understand why Yun Shu bought him here despite knowing how dangerous it was?

Sure enough, she wanted something from him right?

"Just the right place, it would be good for the bath too..." Yun Shu was mumbling as she looked around the place, walking around near the pond in front.

"What... are we doing here?" Bai Yunxian suddenly felt anxious as he looked around the area.

All this time, he hasn’t been paying attention to his surroundings and blindly followed Yun Shu here. He left the shadows back in the camp since he knew Yun Shu won’t do anything dangerous, but now, the situation didn’t seem well...?

"Get ready, we have some things to do here. Take off your earrings and clothes." Yun Shu said as she didn’t pay any attention to Bai Yunxian and tried the water in the pond.

Though this place was dangerous, Yun Shu still knew how to come here. Because this pond location was a crucial Chapter for Bai Yunxian in the plot, to help him like a buff.

It was no ordinary pond, but a spiritual pond, and a strong one at that. If you make wine from this spiritual water, you can make even the Martial Ancestors feel drunk.

And Bai Yunxian needed to consume all this energy to replenish and open up his meridian.

After giving it a lot of thought, Yun Shu finally reached a conclusion. And that was to help him get back his things and fulfill the mission as soon as possible, leave this world.

Stay away from him as far as possible during her stay here.

Only in this way can she erase all the feelings she developed for Bai Yunxian.

Though Yun Shu wondered why she had such dark thoughts, as long as she could remember, Yun Shu herself was never such a person to become obsessed with something so easily.

There hasn’t been something in her life that she could say was rightfully hers, belonging in her possession.

But she didn’t know why she felt so crazy after meeting Bai Yunxian, the urge she felt deep inside wasn’t something she could quell easily, she tried to stay away from him.

"T-take off... my clothes? Lord..."

But...

Yun Shu turned around after hearing the stuttering voice, only to see a shocked expression on Bai Yunxian’s face, who looked totally stupefied.

’What was he thinking? Don’t tell me, he needs to cool himself off for that, that’s why he wants me... here... to do that?’

"I-I-I’ll do as you said..." Bai Yunxian blushed as he was fidgeting with his robe, not daring to look up at Yun Shu.

Ah!

Look at that stupid expression...

Yun Shu didn’t understand at first, but when she saw the red ears of Bai Yunxian, she was sure about his misunderstanding very well.

How could I turn around from such a cutie?

I’m really... the worst...

Pfft!

Bai Yunxian was confused when he looked up at Yun Shu, who was trying her best not to laugh out loudly.

What is it?

Why is he... laughing like that?

Is there some misunderstanding?

Or is he like this because I look clumsy?

What... I feel so stupid...

"W-why are you, laughing, My Lord?" Bai Yunxian was sure how stupid and pathetic he looked in front of Yun Shu.

But, it’s alright if it were to be in front of him, right?

It really didn’t matter if Yun Shu saw him like some clumsy, stupid lizard that’s been latching onto him.

As long as he keeps him entertained, he would be able to stay by his side, right?

Those dangerous thoughts that crossed Bai Yunxian’s mind then, he still wasn’t aware what this feeling was.

Not until the day of absolute doom came...

"Hm, hm, looks like we have some misunderstanding here. Did you think I took you here to use you to cool myself down?" Yun Shu stopped her laughter as she held Bai Yunxian’s chin high up to look at her in the eyes, which was already red in shame.

"T-then...! Didn’t the lord tell me t-to take off my clothes?"

Bai Yunxian felt ashamed as he closed his eyes in order to avoid Yun Shu’s eyes.

"Open your eyes, it’s no use hiding after what you did already. Do you see that pond over there? I need you to take a bath there, that’s why I told you to take off your clothes." Yun Shu stood up straight as she looked at Bai Yunxian with a poker face.

That’s it, do your work and leave quietly.

In this way, you don’t need to be so attached to him anymore.

Bai Yunxian, feeling utterly embarrassed, lowered his head as he felt dizzy from shame.

He hesitated a little before asking, "I-I see. T-then, what is it this pond for?"

"To open up your meridian. Didn’t you say you want to take revenge? Didn’t you say you want to attend the Academy? With your current pathetic state, do you think you would be able to accomplish anything?"

"Think of yourself, if you really want to achieve something, you need strength first. I can only help you by providing necessary support and help, but that’s all. The rest depends on whether you are strong enough to take care of or not. Think it through before stepping inside the pond. I already told you the day you started to practice Martial Arts again, once you start this, there is no looking back."

"You’ll need to do everything to hold your ground, even kill or commit arson if necessary. Don’t make this fault of showing mercy to your enemy. I told everything that day, don’t you remember? Or, are you not yet... prepared?"

Bai Yunxian’s body jolted up after hearing Yun Shu’s words.

Right, it was not the time to act weak. He still had to fulfill his promise before anything.

He still needs to exact his revenge on the people that tortured him for years before he could relax on his back for once and all.

"I didn’t. I didn’t forget anything, nor am I unprepared."

"... ..."

"If so, then let’s start the preparation. There are many things to come on the way, get used to it and walk forward. I don’t need useless people that can’t accomplish anything and only know how to cry."

Yun Shu said with a cold voice as she turned back and walked a few steps away from Bai Yunxian.

At that moment, both of them were determined to get what they wanted, though it was different goals.

After Bai Yunxian took off his artifacts and clothes, a young man with a strong build and handsome face appeared in front of Yun Shu as he looked sideways, watching Yun Shu’s movements.

After training, Bai Yunxian indeed changed a lot. His temperament, as well as his aura and build also changed.

However, it didn’t matter.

Nothing of that matters when the person in front of her was still the same.

Yun Shu also sat down behind him as she placed her both hands on Bai Yunxian’s back. She could clearly feel the strong muscles under her palm, it was firm and warm.

Don’t think of anything, just focus, Yun Shu...

As she thought, Yun Shu let out a deep breath as she noticed the stiffness of Bai Yunxian.

Did he stiffen just now? After she touched his back?

"Relax, don’t let your emotions get the best of you. Close your eyes and focus, remember the way I channel your meridian. Later, when you’ll use your power, channel your Qi to these veins, or else there would be serious consequences. You may even destroy your dantian."

Yun Shu was instructing Bai Yunxian, however, the latter wasn’t listening to any of this.

His breathing was now heavy as he felt hot, his heart was beating faster in every passing second.

Relax?

How could he relax in such a situation?!
