Chapter 20: A Waste of God’s Gift

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

If these ice-blue crystals were really as she had guessed, it was simply a waste of God’s gift! Not to mention these fruits, even the most precious spiritual plant was not worthy of such treatment.

Han Yue’s breath missed a beat. She took a deep breath and continued forward. She didn’t see Ye Xuan but she heard the sound of water on the other side.

Han Yue lifted the bead curtain and was about to walk in when she heard a teasing male voice, “So the sect master has a hobby of peeking at other people bathing.”

She jerked her head up, only to see a strong and muscular body. Droplets of water that had yet to dry flowed down his firm abdominal muscles, and his lower body was only tied with a towel.

Han Yue’s face instantly turned red. She used to be cold and arrogant when she was in the upper realm, keeping people at arm’s length. She had never seen such a maddening scene. She lost her composure for a moment.

She staggered and was about to fall to the ground when a strong hand pulled her. The world spun and she fell into cool arms.

This feeling was unprecedented. Ye Xuan’s upper body was bare, and Han Yue could clearly hear his strong heartbeat. They were embracing each other.

Ye Xuan only felt that the person in his arms was weak and boneless. Her waist was like a green willow, and it was unbelievably soft. He could even smell an intoxicating fragrance.

Han Yue pushed him away and said sternly, “You, you’re bold!”

Her skin was originally as white as jade. But at this moment, her face was flushed red, like a winter plum that suddenly bloomed in the snow. She was less cold and became more charming, and the corners of her eyes seemed to contain tenderness.

With such an expression, coupled with her flustered tone, there was no deterrent force no matter how serious she looked. Instead, she was like a spoiled little girl.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Han Yue obviously regretted it. She cleared her throat, calmed her mood, and said, “I didn’t know you were taking a bath…”

Her tone was cold, and she had returned to her previous high and mighty attitude. However, if one listened closely, one could still find some guilt in her tone.

The corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth curved up slightly. He didn’t expect the sect master, who was otherworldly, to have such a character.

He couldn’t help but tease, “Sect master doesn’t need to explain. I know that someone like sect master would never do something like taking advantage of me.”

After hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the redness that had faded with great difficulty seemed to had come back. Han Yue didn’t know whether it was because of anger or embarrassment. The tip of her ears quietly turned red, but she didn’t know it.

“Who’s taking advantage of you?”

Han Yue couldn’t help retorting, but it seemed more coquettish.

Looking at her blushing face, Ye Xuan’s eyes turned and he said very generously, “Since the weather is so hot, why don’t sect master come and take a bath together?”

The red color on Han Yue’s snow-white cheeks instantly spread to her whole body. At this moment, she was like a cooked shrimp. Her face red and her whole body was even steaming.

“You!”

She was so angry that she could barely speak. When she was in the upper realm, no one had ever dared to treat her with such an attitude.

Besides, Han Yue had always been reclusive and devoted to cultivation. Therefore, she rarely came into contact with people. There were not many who were as bold as Ye Xuan who actually dared to tease her.

Ye Xuan knew when to stop. It was rare to see Han Yue showing such a face, and he was probably the first person to see this.

Seeing that Han Yue was on the verge of exploding, he stopped teasing her. Otherwise, if he really made her angry, the consequences would probably be unbearable for him.

“Sect master, I was just joking. Why take it so seriously? The weather is hot, be careful not to hurt yourself.”

She looked at the man in front of her who was smiling mischievously, but his eyes were extremely clear and did not have any ill intentions.

No matter where Han Yue went, she was worshipped by people, as if she had no emotions and desires. For some reason, the fire in her heart seemed to have been extinguished, and she felt a little helpless.

“Ding-dong!”

There was a clear sound of something falling on the ground. It sounded like something had fallen from above.

Han Yue took a closer look and found that it was a blue crystal on the ground. She didn’t notice that the whole bead curtain was made of it.

Ye Xuan saw her gaze on it and said casually, “If sect master likes it, I’ll give you one as well. Just treat it as an apology.”

His light tone made it seem like he was giving a very ordinary item. He seemed to have thought of something and added, “On such a hot day, it’s best to put one in every place of the sect. Otherwise, how are the disciples going to survive this hot summer?”

Ye Xuan was a very generous person. He followed the principle that it was better to be happy together than to be happy alone. Of course, his main purpose was to complete the mission.

Han Yue couldn’t believe what she heard. She couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know what these things are?”

Ye Xuan didn’t think much of it. “It’s just Crystal Ice Chalcedony. I have plenty of it. It’s worthless.”

He knew what it was!

Even though Han Yue had already guessed it before this, hearing Ye Xuan’s words on her own shocked her even greater.

Worthless!

The Crystal Ice Chalcedony that cultivators couldn’t get even one with money was actually worthless to Ye Xuan!

She looked around and saw what Ye Xuan had done with the Crystal Ice Chalcedony. He treated it like an ordinary ice block or a decoration. It was no wonder that he would say something like this.

For a moment, Han Yue’s mood was extremely complicated.

They had been searching for Water Spirit Pearl everywhere, but they couldn’t even afford the replacement, Water Elemental Pearls. In contrast, Crystal Ice Chalcedony, which was of a higher grade than Water Spirit Pearl, could be seen everywhere in Ye Xuan’s place.

She didn’t doubt Ye Xuan’s words at all. He wanted to place one in every place of the sect.

Just from the decoration of Ye Xuan’s room, he could really afford.
