Rui Xi would always rest her chin on her hand, looking at Yuan Ye with a far - away look in her eyes. She could listen for a long, long time. Unwittingly, Yuan Ye had opened the young girl's heart. Besides her father, Yuan Ye was the only man Rui Xi had ever been in contact with. Her father represented family love, but what about Yuan Ye? Rui Xi herself only had a vague understanding. Yuan Ye also had a bit of conscience. When he first saw Rui Xi, with her sexy and hot figure and face, he had a strong carnal desire. However, with more contact with Rui Xi, her innocence and her lack of guile made Yuan Ye no longer have those lewd thoughts. Well, not completely gone. But Yuan Ye had warned himself more than once that Rui Xi was a very pure and nice girl. He must hold himself back. If he couldn't and something happened, he would be responsible for her for a lifetime. Yuan Ye didn't want to be responsible so early, so he had been struggling painfully. What tormented Yuan Ye the most was one incident. Yuan Ye walked into the room and saw Rui Xi changing clothes. Ahem... Actually, she was changing her undergarments and the breast - wrapping cloth. Those were the only two pieces of clothing Rui Xi wore. When he saw her, Yuan Ye's nose immediately started bleeding. What was even more torturous was that when Rui Xi saw Yuan Ye bleeding, she didn't even have time to put on the breast - wrapping cloth and immediately came over to support Yuan Ye, asking him various questions. After helping Yuan Ye to the bed, she leaned over him, looking at him with great concern. Her eyes were clear and transparent, but her breasts were heaving up and down. Yuan Ye, lying on the bed and looking at her like this, had a nosebleed that just wouldn't stop. That day was the only time Yuan Ye didn't go out for training because he had lost too much blood. Even his lower body had an "uprising". In order not to harm Rui Xi, he punched it, and as a result, his "little brother" was listless for a long time, and he didn't have the energy to fight magical beasts either. "Yuan Ye, you've gone into the deep part of the Beast Domain again," Rui Guangde's voice suddenly came at this moment. "Uncle Rui, all the somewhat powerful magical beasts around here have been killed by me. I can only look for them deeper in. Besides, the place I went in wasn't very deep. Don't worry," Yuan Ye said with a smile as he explained. "Be careful. Come back and change your medicine later. You haven't fully recovered from your last injury. You can't fight so frequently," Rui Guangde said and left by himself. "Brother Ye, I'll help you change your medicine," Rui Xi stepped forward and pulled Yuan Ye's arm. Yuan Ye followed her. Entering the inner room, Yuan Ye took off his clothes and saw numerous scars, blood - stained marks of beast claws, horizontal and vertical, deep and shallow, new and old. Most of these scars were deliberately inflicted by Yuan Ye. At first, when Yuan Ye fought magical beasts of the same level, he would first wound them and then roll on the ground and fight them in close combat. When humans fight magical beasts, they rely on sharp weapons, flexible movement techniques, and exquisite swordsmanship. If one fought a magical beast hand - to - hand and rolled on the ground with it, it would be a dead end. As long as the sharp teeth of the magical beast bit your neck, it would be all over. Its sharp claws were not comparable to human hands. So even someone as strong as Yuan Ye had to seriously wound the magical beast before engaging in close combat. With the increase in the number of close - combat encounters, Yuan Ye's close - combat ability became stronger and stronger, and his own strength also improved simultaneously. So now, when Yuan Ye fought magical beasts of the same level, he could win even if he engaged in direct close combat without first wounding them. There were two reasons why Yuan Ye brought this hardship upon himself. First, it was to train his close - combat ability. Magical beasts were the strongest in close combat, and fighting with them was undoubtedly the best way to train oneself. If you could defeat a magical beast in close combat, you would have no problem fighting humans. Yuan Ye had now reached this level. With Yuan Ye's strength, he should have no problem defeating a fourth - grade general. But it would be too difficult to deal with a fifth - grade martial marshal. However, as long as Yuan Ye got close to him and fought in close combat, he was still confident of winning. In a normal battle, Yuan Ye could fight against someone one level higher than him. In close combat, he could fight against someone two levels higher! The second reason why Yuan Ye brought hardship upon himself was to practice the Sword Technique of Sealing Demons. In the first part of the "Rebel Against the Heavens Snow", besides swordsmanship, body - refining was the most important. That's why Yuan Ye ran and practiced boxing in cotton - padded clothes at noon in midsummer. Besides training his physical strength, it was also to train his ability to endure heat. Going outside without clothes in winter was also to train his ability to resist cold. Now, Yuan Ye deliberately got injured to train his ability to endure pain. When a person is injured more often, his body's healing ability will naturally increase. At the same time, when a person experiences more pain, his tolerance for pain will be stronger the next time he is injured. At the same level, if a warrior who is injured every day fights against a martial artist who has never been injured, the martial artist who has never been injured will be no match for the other. The "Rebel Against the Heavens Snow" is very powerful, but there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The cultivation of the "Rebel Against the Heavens Snow" is destined to be a hundred times harder than that of ordinary martial arts. After applying the medicine, Yuan Ye felt that many of the scars were itchy. Looking back, he saw Rui Xi with tears streaming down her face.
