Chereads / Crossed Celestial / Chapter 17 - 17

Chapter 17 - 17

"What's the matter, Xi?" Yuan Ye gently wiped away Rui Xi's tears and asked. "Why is Brother Ye injured every day? We haven't had so many scars during all the time we've been here." "Eh?" Yuan Ye's heart warmed, and he smiled. "These are a man's medals, and they'll heal sooner or later." Rui Xi gently stroked a scar on Yuan Ye's chest. Her little hand trembled slightly, and suddenly she buried her head in Yuan Ye's arms, and her heartbeat became rapid. "Hehe!" Yuan Ye smiled and hugged Rui Xi. "Xi, I see that you and Uncle Rui only know how to hunt. You two are very accurate with your arrows, but in the human world in the future, relying only on archery won't work. Let me teach you a set of martial skills." The sexy beauty in his arms, however, shook her head. "What's wrong? Don't you want to learn?" "Daddy said people outside are all bad. I don't want to go out. I just want Brother Ye to tell me stories about the outside world." "Silly girl. There are both bad and good people outside. Look, I'm from the outside. Am I bad?... Well, I know you don't think I'm bad, but actually, I don't have a good reputation outside," Yuan Ye said with a helpless smile. Rui Guangde's seclusion here must have a reason, but he never talks about it. Rui Xi has been instilled by her father since childhood with the idea that the outside world is terrifying, so naturally, she has a sense of fear towards the outside. "Anyway, a beautiful and hot - blooded girl like you, being so innocent and knowing nothing, is really an anomaly. In the outside world, not to mention princes and nobles, even so - called Yuan Zun would dream of marrying you. Of course, with me around, they won't have a chance. If you go out with me and a beautiful girl like you is by my side, I'll feel really great myself." Hearing this, Rui Xi's pretty face turned red. She swayed left and right in Yuan Ye's arms and said in a sweet voice, "Then... if Daddy and Brother Ye go to the human world, I'll go too." "Haha, good. To tell you the truth, I'm going to venture a bit deeper. A dashing man like me will surely encounter some rare treasures. We'll bring them back and the three of us will use them for cultivation. When we become powerful, your father will surely agree to leave. I can tell that there must be someone your father hates in the outside world. He lives in seclusion here because the opponents outside are too strong for him to handle." "No way. It's very dangerous inside," Rui Xi was startled, and she couldn't help but grip Yuan Ye's hand tightly. "It's okay. Look, I've gone deep into the Beast Domain for so many days, and I've come back victorious every time. Don't worry. But don't tell your father. He definitely won't agree," Yuan Ye said very seriously. Actually, Yuan Ye could only deceive a little girl like Rui Xi. During these days, he did go deep into the Beast Domain, but only a little bit. He was still wandering around the periphery of the Beast Domain, and there were no powerful magical beasts. But if he wanted to obtain rare treasures, he would surely have to go deep into the interior of the Beast Domain. There's an essential difference between these two "deep" situations. As the saying goes, the newborn calf isn't afraid of the tiger. Although Yuan Ye has been often injured during this month, on the whole, things have been too smooth for him. He has won every battle. This has made Yuan Ye bolder. Most importantly, Yuan Ye has always believed that he's very handsome, and handsome people have no reason to have bad luck. He's sure that he can find rare treasures. Although sometimes he also thinks that he's the most tragic person in the world. When his injuries were almost healed, Yuan Ye took enough medicine for treating scratches and bites, as well as antidotes, poisons, fire - starting tools, bows and arrows, etc. Without telling Rui Guangde, he set off on the treasure - hunting journey alone. Rui Guangde and his daughter have lived here for so long, and they have unique insights into these medicines. They are even better than the so - called miracle doctors outside in this regard. And what they are best at isn't the medicine for treating injuries, but poisons. Rui Guangde and his daughter don't know martial skills, but their archery is extremely accurate. For example, Rui Xi doesn't have any fighting qi, but her arrows are strangely fast, ridiculously fast. At least for now, even if Yuan Ye is fully concentrated, he can't avoid them. If it's a surprise attack, it goes without saying. Because, strangely enough, Rui Xi can predict where you're going to dodge in advance, and then the arrow will follow. A girl who doesn't know any martial skills can shoot arrows without missing against Yuan Ye, who can easily defeat a fourth - grade general. One can only say that she's a born sharpshooter. Yuan Ye can't imagine how terrifying the power would be if Rui Xi had fighting qi and injected it into the arrows. However, the hides of many magical beasts are very thick. Even if they are hit by an arrow, they won't be killed. Instead, they will counter - attack or escape. So poison is the focus of Rui Guangde and his daughter's research. Every time they hunt, the arrowheads are poisoned. Just hitting the target is enough; there's no need to shoot at vital points. During this month, Yuan Ye has also gained a good understanding of poisons and antidotes. Although he's far inferior to Rui Guangde and his daughter, he's definitely a "poison master" outside. However, Yuan Ye has never used poison because he has always believed that men should fight with real swords and guns. You punch me, and I'll strike you back. This kind of bloody battle is the way of a warrior. More importantly, Yuan Ye hunts for cultivation. If you poison the magical beasts all at once, how can you train?
