Sword Eminence Ming Yu thought for sure she’s going to die. The next time she opened her eyes, she’s surprised to find Ye XingHe standing over the dead body of the leopard.
His eyes are still as frosty as ever, he didn’t understand why he came back. Something inside him compelled him to come back, maybe it’s because he couldn’t stomach letting a person die a shameful end, as food for demonic beasts.
“Once we get out of here, you will never speak a word of who saved you, you got that?! For people like you, I am wasting my breath just saving you!”
Ye XingHe spoke with disgust.
He looked down at her with disdain and utter abhorrence. Sword Eminence Ming Yu continued crying her eyes out.
It’s like she’s been made anew, coming this close to death changed her.
Although Ye XingHe looked at her with repugnance, she didn’t take it to heart. To her, this expression on her savior reflected the remaining warmth in humans.
Ye XingHe dragged her by her feet into a cave by the side of the ravine. Dumping her by the side of the cave walls, he sat down to start a fire. Using the meat he got from the demonic beast, he started grilling up some food.
The light from the flames flickered as it illuminated the cave.
Still shaken from being so close to death, she looked at Ye XingHe without saying a word. All the hate and vengeance she had from before all disappeared without a trace. She reflected upon the images that flashed in front of her when she almost died. It’s a collection that defined her, what she did, who she was.
Ye XingHe glanced at her.
“If you can walk, I want you to scram. If I sense you trying to recover your strength to the third heavenly realm and above, you can bet that I am going to deck you until kingdom comes!”
His harsh words caused a stinging pain inside her heart, tears started appearing at the corners of her eyes.
“Don’t give me that look, I know who you are. I am still cursing myself for saving a person like you!”
Ye XingHe frowned with a snort.
Sword Eminence Ming Yu opened her mouth, she wanted to say something but she dismissed the idea.
She’s at a loss of words.
She understands just how vile she looked in his mind. A shameless, poisonous vixen of a woman. The worst part about this is that she agreed with him. Being so close to death made her realize just how awful she is when she’s alive. Deep remorse has been cut into her heart.
Slowly, she recovered her power, soon she could move her right hand.
Something slapped her hand in a powerful manner. Her hand feels like it’s on fire.
“You put that hand down or I will kill you!”
Ye XingHe stared at her with unyielding eyes. A sharp stone is close to where her right hand is.
Ye XingHe assumed she’s going to pick the stone up to use as a weapon against him so he pulled a vine out of the cave wall to whip her.
“I…”
Sword Eminence Ming Yu felt very anguished, she had no intention whatsoever to harm him. She might look very pitiful but he knows better than to let his guard down around her.
“If you can move, get the hell out of here. Don’t force my hand!”
