Chapter 20, I, Su, never lie! [New book, please read!]
Looking into those tearful eyes, Su Ye suppressed his smile, straightened his expression, and said earnestly:
"I, Su, have never lied to anyone!"
He said that with great conviction.
He silently added a sentence in his mind.
He was indeed the first friend I made in the world of Doupo.
Su Ye really didn't lie; he didn't make up any cheesy words to win the heart of the beauty.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo are friends, right?
But that's in the world of Shrouding the Heavens!
Not here in Battle Through the Heavens!
But he didn't say the second half of his sentence, nor was there any need to.
Little Fairy Doctor couldn't hold back any longer.
Her nose felt sore and sore.
My first friend...
Just these five simple words.
But it was more real than any other word, and it made her heart sink even deeper.
Wasn't Su Ye her first confidant?
Years of loneliness, fear of his physical condition, the cautiousness of trying to survive in the cracks of Qingshan Town, and the inexplicable gratitude and dependence on Su Ye.
At this moment, all the emotions she had been suppressing burst forth.
Little Fairy Doctor stepped forward, buried her face in Su Ye's arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her face in his chest.
His shoulders twitched slightly twice, and then his whole body began to tremble.
Tears, suppressed for countless years, silently soaked the front of Su Ye's Taoist robe.
Little Fairy Doctor cried very restrainedly, without wailing or hysteria, just a kind of muffled, fine sobbing that was stuck in her throat.
But it is precisely this suppressed way of crying that is more heartbreaking than crying and making a scene.
Su Ye's body stiffened slightly.
He wasn't someone who was used to physical contact.
Whether in his past life or after his time travel, getting close to people was never his forte during his years at the Taoist temple on Mount Tai.
The moment the girl's soft, delicate body pressed against him, Su Ye's hands were suspended in mid-air, unsure of where to put them.
But the slightly trembling body in his arms finally softened his heart.
Su Ye slowly lowered his arms and wrapped them around her waist.
In the original novel, it is described as follows: Little Fairy Doctor's waist is recognized as the number one waist in the Battle Through the Heavens world!
Only her soft sobs could be heard in the cave.
She cried for about half a cup of tea's time.
Little Fairy Doctor's sobs gradually stopped.
Reason began to return, and bodily sensations awakened.
She suddenly realized that she was pressed against Su Ye.
She buried her face in his chest, and even through the Taoist robe, she could clearly feel the warmth emanating from Su Ye.
Even more deadly is...
Her abdomen was pressed tightly against his waist...
She could feel the contours of the muscles beneath the Taoist robe...
Very strong!
It's also very sturdy...
It was a completely different style from that gentle and refined face.
Little Fairy Doctor's face flushed instantly, turning red all the way from the base of her neck to the tips of her ears.
Almost instantly, she pushed Su Ye's chest with both hands.
She took two steps back, her head so low that her chin almost touched her collarbone.
She didn't know where to put her hands; one moment she was twisting the hem of her clothes, the next she was touching the stray hairs by her ear.
Su Ye's arms were suddenly empty.
He looked down at the large wet patch on the front of his Taoist robe, then at the girl opposite him who seemed to want to bury her head in her collar.
Little Fairy Doctor secretly raised her eyelids, just in time to meet Su Ye's gaze.
The two stared at each other for a moment.
Then, they all laughed.
It wasn't a loud laugh, but a gentle, knowing smile.
No need for further explanation, no need for deliberate attempts to smooth things over.
The hug just now meant nothing, and neither of them meant anything; they both understood.
Su Ye spoke first, breaking the awkward silence with a rare gentleness in her tone: "Finished crying?"
Little Fairy Doctor sniffed, turned her head away, and her voice still carried the nasal tone of a sob: "...Mmm."
After the atmosphere calmed down, Su Ye's gaze fell on the three stone boxes.
He walked over and opened the first stone box, inside which lay a completely black scroll with two black eagles with outstretched wings embroidered on its leather cover.
"Let's refine this flying combat technique first."
Su Ye handed the scroll to Little Fairy Doctor.
Little Fairy Doctor took the scroll, unrolled it, glanced at it, and frowned, saying, "This...this is a mid-level Xuan-rank flying combat skill?"
The intermediate-level Xuan-rank combat skill, "Eagle's Wings," originally contained a wisp of the remnant soul of a fifth-rank magical beast.
However, the remnant soul is gone.
It was erased by Su Ye.
The divine sense of "Covering the Sky" is like a dimensional reduction attack for the soul body in the "Battle Through the Heavens" system.
Seeing her lost in thought, Su Ye added, "Just use your essence blood as a guide and circulate your battle qi according to the flow of qi in the scroll."
"I've cleared away the obstacles on the soul level; the rest shouldn't be difficult for you."
Little Fairy Doctor didn't ask any more questions and sat down cross-legged.
She bit her fingertip and dripped a drop of bright red blood onto the black scroll.
The moment the blood droplet landed on the leather cover, a sudden burst of black light shone on the scroll, and runes rose from the scroll, wriggling and moving like living things.
Little Fairy Doctor closed her eyes, mobilizing the not-so-abundant battle qi within her body, guiding it little by little through the runes.
Logically, this step is the most difficult because it requires using one's own will to fight against the remnants of the demonic beast sealed within the scroll.
That remnant soul will retaliate fiercely, attempting to devour the mind and spirit of the refiner.
But what she felt at that moment was an empty silence.
The fifth-tier remnant soul that should have been entrenched in the deepest part of the scroll left not even a trace.
This made her entire refining process incredibly smooth.
The runes encountered no resistance; the battle aura, carrying her essence blood, flowed smoothly through the scroll, and the imprint of the flying battle technique was transferred from the scroll into her body.
A warm, tingling sensation came from behind her shoulder blades, as if something was taking root and sprouting between her bones and skin.
The whole process took less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Little Fairy Doctor opened her eyes, a hint of joy flashing across them.
"It's done..."
A thought struck her.
A powerful force suddenly pushed open from behind my shoulder blades.
Whoosh!
A pair of dark black eagle wings with a wingspan of nearly two meters suddenly unfurled from behind her.
The edges of the wings gleamed with a cold metallic luster, which was the wing shape of the fifth-tier magical beast Blackflame Eagle.
The wings unfolded in the not-so-spacious stone chamber, and the air currents stirred up the dust on the ground and a few gold coins scattered beside the withered bones.
However, just as the wings were unfolding...
The crisp sound of tearing fabric was particularly jarring in the stone chamber.
The pair of eagle wings emerged from the center of Little Fairy Doctor's back, tearing her thin white dress from the back of her neck to her waist.
Before the sound of tearing cloth had even faded, the shredded fabric had already slipped from her shoulders and piled up around her waist.
Little Fairy Doctor subconsciously looked down.
The front of the dress also slid down along the tearing force, leaving no one to cover her collarbone, chest, and lower abdomen.
A flawless, white body, as smooth as solidified cream, was presented to Su Ye without any concealment.
The stone chamber fell silent.
Little Fairy Doctor processed this fact in a fraction of a second, and then her entire face burned from the base of her neck to the top of her head.
Almost instinctively, she pulled her enormous eagle wings forward, crossing them in front of her.
Its wings were so large that they barely covered the vital parts.
Her head peeked out from the edge of her wings, her eyes wide and round, her lips trembling for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
Su Ye was also stunned for a moment.
He hadn't expected the Eagle Wings to spread out with such force.
But that's not the worst of it.
Little Fairy Doctor is currently only at the level of a two-star Dou Zhe.
The total amount of battle qi is already limited, and the consumption of battle qi by a mid-level Xuan-rank flying battle technique is extremely terrifying.
The crossed eagle wings blocked her way for only a breath or two...
As its fighting spirit was exhausted, it began to become transparent.
Then it completely dissipated.
Without wings, there's no shelter either.
That perfect jade body appeared before Su Ye's eyes for the second time, even clearer than before, because even the shadow of the wings was gone.
The Little Fairy Doctor's mind went completely blank.
She tried to block, but her hands weren't big enough.
I wanted to squat down, but my legs wouldn't obey me.
I wanted to scream, but my throat felt blocked.
In this suffocating silence...
Su Ye made a move.
He took out a neatly folded blue and white Taoist robe from the sea of suffering, took a step forward, unfolded the robe, and draped it over her shoulders.
His movements were quick but gentle; the moment the fabric fell onto her shoulder, he used one hand to gather the front of the garment, ensuring she was completely covered.
Then he stepped back and turned his head to look at the stone wall.
The entire set of movements was fluid and seamless, without a trace of panic or an unnecessary glance.
Little Fairy Doctor stood there blankly.
The Taoist robe was too big for her; the sleeves were halfway too long, and the hem dragged on the ground, making her look as if she were wrapped in a blue and white cloud.
Only half of her bright red face and a pair of eyes still bearing traces of tears were visible.
The stone chamber was quiet for four or five breaths.
Little Fairy Doctor clutched the collar of her Taoist robe, then stammered, "Th...thank you..."
Su Ye coughed lightly, his gaze still fixed on a certain uneven rock texture on the stone wall.
Then, he said in as calm a tone as possible, "As long as your battle qi cultivation level increases, that will be fine."
"Once you reach the Battle Master level, maintaining Eagle Wings for the duration of an incense stick won't be a problem."
"As for tearing your clothes, that's because you don't have enough control over the Eagle Wings."
"Once you master it, you can conjure wings from outside your body, instead of having them grow from within..."
"Um……"
Another silence followed.
Little Fairy Doctor secretly raised her eyelids and glanced at Su Ye through the gap in the collar of her Taoist robe.
He still stood sideways, facing the stone wall.
It's as if nothing happened just now.
Little Fairy Doctor lowered her head, burying half her face in the wide collar of her Taoist robe, and a smile curved her lips in a way that she herself didn't even realize.
Su Ye finally turned around, his expression returning to its usual calm.
She slowly walked to the stone wall and sat down, wrapping her large Taoist robe tightly around herself and leaning against the cold stone wall.
It was nearly dusk outside the cave, and the light coming through the cave entrance had turned into a dark orange-red.
Su Ye sat down cross-legged opposite him and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.
The faint light outside the cave illuminated his profile, revealing a face that was still as gentle as jade and as indifferent as water.
Looking at him, the storm raging in Little Fairy Doctor's heart all day finally subsided.
She looked down at the Taoist robe she was wearing, which clearly belonged to him, and gently inhaled his scent.
"My first friend..."
She repeated those four words in her heart again.
Then he chuckled softly.
This favor I owe is getting bigger and bigger.
It's so big that she probably won't be able to pay it off in her lifetime.
However, it seems... not so bad.
