Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Yun Bing’s Wish! (Seeking Follow-up Readings)
Mu Qingxue turned around, wanting to leave and return to the City Lord Mansion. Just as she was stepping out of the bedroom door, she heard Xiao Ye say:
"Wait!"
Mu Qingxue paused and turned back to say, "I will bring the Supreme Level Healing Treasure."
Xiao Ye looked at her deeply, "Thank you!"
Mu Qingxue shook her head with a smile, "We are husband and wife bound by contract after all; solving problems for each other is natural, isn’t it?"
Xiao Ye nodded earnestly, "Mmm!"
At this moment, Xiao Ye’s perception and recognition of Mu Qingxue had changed; he truly acknowledged her.
Apart from being a bit arrogant, stubborn, and vain, Mu Qingxue, this arrogant girl, is also a good girl who values love and righteousness, and is worth cultivating, fighting, and growing together with.
After Mu Qingxue left, Xiao Ye’s expression turned somber, and he held Yun Bing’s hand beside the bed, saying:
"Sister Yun Bing, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault."
"But don’t worry, with me here, you won’t die."
Yun Xi, unexpressive, felt that Xiao Ye was just spouting comforting words, not really serious, and so did Cheng Bingxi and the other two girls.
Yun Bing was utterly confused, wondering why everyone said she was going to die? She was perfectly fine, just slightly injured, and she would recover in a couple of days.
Looking around, she saw that everyone was gazing at her with pity and sadness.
"What the..."
"Am I really going to die?"
"But how come I don’t know about it!"
Yun Xi revealed the truth, "Yun Bing, try introspecting with your divine sense, and you’ll realize that your body and soul have been severely damaged and are on the verge of collapse."
"So, while there’s still time, tell us if there’s any desire you have yet unfulfilled, anything at all. We will fulfill it for you as long as it’s within our power!"
Yun Bing tightly clutched the crystal fragments, stirring her extremely weak divine sense to introspect her own condition.
Her body, organs, cultivation foundation, spirit sea, soul.
All fractured like broken willows, on the edge of collapse.
As she scanned over and over, Yun Bing’s face turned paler, and then deathly pale with horror!
She panicked.
"I’m really going to die!" Yun Bing exclaimed in dismay, "How can this be? How can this be!"
Now she finally realized the severity of the matter, irreversible and beyond regret.
Yun Bing’s eyes turned lifeless, unable to accept the truth.
"Wuwuwu!" Seeing her in desperation, Nangong Siyan started sobbing beside the bed.
Cheng Bingxi and Liu Ya’s eyes reddened.
Yun Xi spoke, "Yun Bing, quickly tell us any wish you have, or it will be too late. Do you want to die with regrets?"
Yun Bing’s body trembled violently, she blurted out desperately and in despair:
"I don’t want to die, I’ve never been with a man, I’ve never formed a contract, I can’t die!"
"Sister, I don’t want to die!"
Tears fell from Yun Xi’s eyes, "I’m sorry, sister, I can’t save you."
Yun Xi regretted being a homebody, always staying in her villa to cultivate, never going out to collect, buy, or compete for Healing Treasures.
Even if Mu Family’s daughter brings a bodily Healing Treasure, it would be useless because Yun Bing’s soul was also on the brink of collapse, and Soul Type Healing Treasures are rarer and more precious, nearly impossible to obtain in time.
Hence, Yun Bing was bound to die.
Xiao Ye said sternly, "Sister Yun Bing, you won’t die, I said so."
Everyone took his words as mere consolation, including Yun Bing.
Seeing Yun Bing struggling to accept reality, Yun Xi spoke for her, "Xiao Ye, Yun Bing has an unfulfilled wish that requires your assistance."
Xiao Ye fell silent.
Nangong Siyan stamped her foot anxiously, "Xiao Ye, no matter what Sister Yun Bing’s wish is, you must help her fulfill it, or else I’ll castrate you!"
Cheng Bingxi and Liu Ya nodded vehemently, echoing, "Exactly, it must be fulfilled!"
"Yes, we can’t let the vice principal leave with regrets!"
Xiao Ye remained silent.
Nangong Siyan glared at him and asked, "Sister Yun Xi, Sister Yun Bing, does she have any wishes?"
Yun Xiliu frowned, "Yun Bing is moved."
"Ah?"
"???"
Nangong Siyan, Cheng Bingxi, Liu Ya, and Xiao Ye were dumbfounded.
The lifelessness in Yun Bing’s eyes regained a hint of brightness, her pretty face blushed, becoming somewhat shy.
Yun Xi continued, "Being single for one thousand five hundred years, Yun Bing has fallen in love with a man for the first time, wishing to form a bond and become husband and wife."
"Hmph!" Yun Bing covered her face with her hands, "Sister, stop talking, I’m dying of embarrassment."
Yun Xi shook her head, "No, I must say it."
Everyone’s gaze turned toward Xiao Ye, realizing what Yun Xi was about to say.
As everyone expected, Yun Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Ye! Yun Bing has feelings for you, what about your feelings?"
"Have you ever harbored romantic feelings for Yun Bing?"
Yun Bing became nervous, her eyes darting around, but she kept looking at Xiao Ye, eager to know his feelings.
Xiao Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, "But I only regard Sister Yun Bing as a mentor, I have no romantic feelings for her."
The light in Yun Bing’s beautiful eyes dimmed again, a lifeless pallor appeared, filled with deep despair.
Yun Xi sighed.
Nangong Siyan, frustrated with Xiao Ye’s lack of empathy, punched him and said angrily, "Jerk, don’t you know how to speak?"
"Sister Yun Bing’s time is running out, even a comforting word would be nice, to let her leave contentedly."
"Plus, I think you are lying!"
"Don’t think I don’t know, when grandma came to Mang Yuan Base City, you were always staring at her blatantly, almost drooling."
Xiao Ye’s face turned awkward, he felt wronged, what man doesn’t like to look at beautiful women, it was just a few extra glances, nothing more.
Yun Xi snorted coldly.
Yun Bing’s eyes were lifeless, devoid of emotional fluctuation, as if she really was gone.
Xiao Ye sighed, helplessly said, "Fine, actually I’ve been lusting after Sister Yun Bing’s body."
He blushed saying such a thing; if it weren’t for being pressured, he would never have admitted it.
Nangong Siyan, Cheng Bingxi, Liu Ya, Yun Xi were all stunned.
Explosive!
Yun Bing’s beautiful eyes brightened, her face flushed as she said, "Xiao Ye, comforting words, huh? I like to hear them too. Come on, say a few more to make me happy."
Xiao Ye’s face darkened, he shook his head vigorously, refusing to say any more, he’d rather die.
At that moment, a knock on the door sounded. Mu Qingxue and a silver-haired elder walked in.
"This is the Mu Family’s ancient ancestor, he has agreed to use a Supreme Level Healing Treasure to treat Sister Yun Bing," Mu Qingxue introduced.
Mu Family’s ancient ancestor, a Saint Realm forefather!
Everyone present greeted him respectfully.
The silver-haired elder responded to each, then patted Xiao Ye on the shoulder, laughing, "For you, my little girl threatened me with her life to provide a Healing Treasure, you better not let her down in the future."
He raised his palm, and a deep green glowing Wood Heart appeared above his hand.
Xiao Ye showed gratitude, "Ancient Ancestor, rest assured, as long as I’m here, Xue Er will not be wronged."
Mu Qingxue smiled.
The silver-haired elder nodded, moved closer to Yun Bing, placed his hand on her palm to check, his expression darkened, "Great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter, great-great-great-great-great-grandson-in-law, her injuries are too severe, my Healing Treasure alone cannot save her."
"I can fully restore her physical body, but I’m powerless regarding her Soul Body’s damage."
"I do not possess a Soul Type Healing Treasure."
"So, do you think treatment is still necessary?"
