"You both are truly a match made in heaven. Young lady, your husband is good to you and looks after your needs very well."
Bai Yunxi at first thought these pieces of jewelry were pretty. But she was surprised when Su Kang bought them. Now after hearing the old lady's words, she didn't know how to react. Before she can say anything, Su Kang said, "Hahaha, thank you. We will be leaving now."
Then Su Kang held her left wrist and started walking. He said, "Sorry for that, but it's a waste of time to explain to them."
"Let's go back to the boat." Su Kang said with an awkward face.
Bai Yunxi took a deep look at his face before going back. She saw his awkward face and thought about the previous situation, then let it go.
After going far enough from the city, Su Kang took out the boat and flew towards it. Soon the boat disappeared in the sky.
Inside the cabin Bai Yunxi is thinking about today's events. She somewhat enjoyed it. Watching people smiling and enjoying their mundane life. She envies their life.
She was born into the Bai family and spent her childhood happily. Her parents were working in Qin city, so she also stayed there. Later Li Xiao pursued her for months, then her family decided to marry her to him.
They don't have resources to help her in the cultivation, so they think it will be better for her to marry him. After her marriage, her life took a tragic turn.
Bai Yunxi fell asleep, remembering her life. Su Kang is observing her situation from outside.
Many hours later, he came to her room. He is standing near her bed and looking at her sleeping face.
She is really beautiful, he thought.
Then he started the Heart and Mind Illusion technique. He put his hand above her forehead, and slowly his hand started to glow in a light pink color.
These lights formed a gas that started to go inside Bai Yunxi's body.
Now Su Kang is going to refresh her memory about their first encounter.
Bai Yunxi is starting to dream about a certain journey. This was five years ago. Li Fang's has joined the Qingyun sect just a few months back. He is going to participate in a competition to become an inner disciple of the sect. It's his birthday soon.
Bai Yunxi travelled a journey of 20 days to reach the Qingyun sect and celebrated his 15th birthday. She gave his father's robe as a gift to Li Fang. He stopped her from coming to him in the future like this.
Now she is returning back to Qin city and spending a night in a city along the way. She is feeling tired, and her maids are preparing her bath water.
Soon she took off her outer robes and entered the bath water. Meanwhile, she heard a scream from outside.
Soon she heard loud noises from outside; before she could do anything, her room was destroyed. A spiritual beast attacked her inn. It's a red fire lizard of second level; it can easily kill her. Beast is opening its mouth and moving towards her; Bai Yunxi is slower, and it's too late.
She closed her eyes, but suddenly a hand grabbed her waist and lifted her up. She opened her eyes a few seconds later to see that a young man was holding her in the air with one hand and holding a halberd in another hand.
The lizard is dead without its head.
He muttered in a low voice. "Strange, why are these beasts suddenly attacking the city?"
Bai Yunxi is only wearing her belly band, and she can feel his hand on her wet back skin; meanwhile, her chest is being pressed against his body. She is embarrassed by this situation.
The young man then used a mass-scale attack to eliminate the remaining monster. He then looked at her and came down to the destroyed room. But he is still holding her back, and Bai Yunxi's face turned rosy with shame.
"Ah, sorry about that." He let her go after a few seconds.
Her maids are trembling with fear, and they have a few scratches from flying falling woods.
The young man is slowly going up in the air. He was about to leave before Bai Yunxi said, "Wait."
The young man smiled and asked, "You will not be asking me to take responsibility for seeing you like this, right? Well, I think I might agree to it.
Bai Yunxi is stunned. She was going to thank him, but hearing his teasing words turned her face red.
"You...you, what are you talking about? Nothing, you just go." Bai Yunxi said in a low voice, trying to cover her skin as much as possible with her hands.
"Are you sure about that?" The young said in a joking manner.
"Yes, I am sure. You should leave now." She said in a slightly higher voice.
Then he disappeared. She immediately turned around and put on the clothes that she could find. Helped her maids to calm down their minds and left with the rescue team soon.
...
Next morning, Bai Yunxi wakes up and starts remembering the dream. She finally remembered why Su Kang gave her a familiar feeling.
Su Kang is the young man who saved her five years ago in that incident. He even recognized her; that's why he tried to awkwardly change the topic about their previous encounter.
She is embarrassed about the whole situation. Now she wanted to punish Su Kang for his misbehavior, but for that she has to accept that she recognized him. He has seen her half naked, and she lacks the courage to even mention that.
"I have to act normal and composed in front of him." Bai Yunxi thought.
Bai Yunxi didn't come out of her room for the entire day, even for eating food. Su Kang asked her about her well-being, but she answered she was just cultivating.
Su Kang is regretting his decision now. He is thinking that he should have waited more. After remembering their encounter, maybe she is disappointed with him.
One week has passed since they started the journey. After that day Bai Yunxi has not come out of the room. Su Kang always makes food for her and delivers it to her room. Other than that, he also stopped talking to her. He is also focusing his energy on mastering his supernatural powers.
His current cultivation technique is the Five Swords Palace technique.
After reaching Pill formation, it grants cultivators sword energy in the energy center that they created inside their body. Their attack can possess five times more destructive energy compared to others.
Bai Yunxi is feeling down. It's been a week since she started avoiding Su Kang. He prepares food for her every day and delivers it to outside of her room without waiting for her to open the door. She knows that she is not acting normally but suspiciously.
Today she has decided to go out. She opened the door of her room and went to Su Kang, holding food plates in her hands. She saw Su Kang and said, "Let's eat together."
But she saw Su Kang without any food. It took a few seconds to realize that he was only cooking for her convenience. She is used to eating foods, but he doesn't need them. She is feeling guilty for a reason.
"You can eat. I will be eating later. If you want to stop in any city, let me know about it." Su Kang said.
"Okay." She sat down and started eating. After talking some time, they decided to stop in a medium-sized city.
Later in the evening they stopped outside a city and went in. After a good summer harvest, the city is also in a festive atmosphere. Su Kang and Bai Yunxi strolled around the city. This city has a hundred thousand people living in it.
There are many good places to see and taste local cuisines. Su Kang and Bai Yunxi spend six hours in the city. Su Kang again bought some jewelry, but Bai Yunxi didn't ask about it. They left in the boat.
Bai Yunxi enjoyed such sightseeing occasionally. They spend two more weeks like this, often sightseeing any famous place or city. Su Kang often bought something, but Bai Yunxi rarely bought anything for her.
Now they will reach Liyun City in the next two days. Su Kang is cooking food for Bai Yunxi. She is thinking about something. After the food was prepared, he served her and sat down as well.
"Su Kang, do you have any fiancée or lover?" Bai Yunxi asked.
"I don't have any lover or fiancé." Su Kang said awkwardly.
"Then, for whom did you buy those pieces of jewelry?" She asked with perplexity.
"You have to promise to keep it a secret. Otherwise I will not say anything." He spoke.
Bai Yunxi agreed and asked him to continue.
"Actually, I have a crush on someone. I'm buying these things with her on my mind." He said awkwardly.
"Why don't you propose to her? With your talent and background, she will definitely agree." She asked happily.
"It's complicated. She is a widow with a child. Her world is very small. She doesn't know how to live for herself. Her son is her only source of happiness."
" I'm not sure I have any place in her life. So sometimes I help her son in need to bring a few smiles on her face." He spoke with a complicated gaze.
