I Just Want to Live a Good Life but Surpassed the Protagonist – 29 Amazing
As soon as the spirit herb was thrown into the medicine tank, it seemed to trigger some chemical reaction, and the medicinal liquid boiled.
“Ah!!!” Wu Xue almost fainted from the pain. She had just barely adapted to it, and the pain had intensified once again.
“Young master…” Wu Xue kept shedding tears, her eyes were red, but without the young master’s orders, she didn’t dare to leave the medicine tank rashly.
Ye Yong didn’t know how to comfort Wu Xue. Body tempering was like this. It expelled impurities and strengthened the flesh and bones.
The stronger the body tempering, the more painful the process would be. Scraping the bone was not a joke.
Ye Yong only said to hold on, and then continued to add herbs.
In the end, Wu Xue could no longer make a sound. If Ye Yong hadn’t been supporting her head, she would have likely slipped into the medicinal bath and drowned in the medicinal liquid.
Ye Yong could feel Wu Xue’s aura continuously weakening, as if her life force was fading away. He grew anxious and hurriedly injected spiritual energy into Wu Xue’s body to protect her fragile internal organs.
“You can definitely do it.” Besides exchanging for some special energy in the store to add to the medicinal bath to assist in body tempering, Ye Yong could only verbally encourage Wu Xue.
The body tempering was to last for two whole hours. Ye Yong removed his blindfold halfway through and saw that the skin below Wu Xue’s neck, which was originally tender and white, had completely cracked, and the medicinal bath was mixed with her blood. Her lips were pale, and her eyes were devoid of spirit, as if she were about to die.
What was going on?
Ye Yong was extremely puzzled. He had followed the materials in the novel exactly to temper Wu Xue’s body, and he had even exchanged for the special energy that Long Tian could not provide. Not to mention that in the novel, when Wu Xue tempered her body, Long Tian was not present at all because Wu Xue was very shy, so she completed it alone.
In the novel, although Wu Xue suffered a lot while tempering her body alone, it was definitely not as close to death as she was now.
Wait, in the novel, Wu Xue did not temper her body in this era. She was at least one era later, that is, she was 17 years old when she started. Moreover, at that time, she was often beaten up by ‘ Ye Yong’ and also received some healing medicine from Qin Shimeng. Therefore, both her mental resilience and physical fitness were much stronger than they were now. At this time, Wu Xue in reality was just a delicate young girl.
He had only thought about how she would become a Valkyrie in the future to protect him, but he had overlooked these important details!
Seeing Wu Xue’s current appearance, Ye Yong’s heart ached as if it had been stabbed: “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. We won’t temper your body anymore. Forget about becoming a Valkyrie. I’ll protect you from now on.”
Just as Ye Yong was about to pull Wu Xue up, Wu Xue somehow found the strength to resist: “No… Young Master, I can persevere… I don’t want to be a mortal… I don’ t want to be controlled by others anymore, to be sold like goods… I want to find my parents…”
“But if you continue like this, you might die.”
“Even if I live a mediocre life, it would be meaningless… It’s actually pretty good to die by Young Master’s side… I just hope that Young Master can promise to help me find my parents…”
Wu Xue was still Wu Xue. Once she made up her mind, she would persist, even if there was a risk of death.
Ye Yong held her head and gritted his teeth: “I won’t promise you. If you want to find them, you can find them yourself.”
Ye Yong did not know if Wu Xue heard him or not, but she closed her eyes and her breath became faint.
The two hours seemed to have passed more slowly than ever before. When the medicinal liquid in the medicinal bath stopped boiling, Wu Xue’s life aura gradually recovered, and her cracked skin had already returned to its original state, even smoother and more delicate than before .
Had it succeeded?
Throughout the entire process, Ye Yong’s heart had been in agony. He no longer wanted Wu Xue to become a Valkyrie. As long as she could be lively and be his maid, that would be enough.
“Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue.” Ye Yong gently shook Wu Xue: “How do you feel?”
Wu Xue opened her eyes. They were brighter than ever before, and one could vaguely see the soul of a mighty white tiger within them.
“Young Master!” Wu Xue immediately hugged Ye Yong and cried: “I was so afraid that I would die! I would never see Young Master and my parents again!”
“Aren’t you still alive?” Ye Yong had been holding back tears the entire time. If Wu Xue had lost her life due to his mistake, he would probably have a shadow over his cultivation: “I’m sorry, I didn’t ‘t expect the risk to be so great.”
“Why should Young Master apologize? Young Master was also thinking for my sake.” Wu Xue could clearly feel the endless power within her body. Compared to her previous sickly body, her current body was filled with vitality.
Speaking of her body.
“Ah!” Only then did Wu Xue realize that she was still not wearing anything and was hugging Ye Yong like this. Her face instantly flushed red.
“I didn’t look.” Ye Yong hurriedly closed his eyes.
“Hmph, I won’t let Young Master look even if you want to.” Wu Xue quickly hid in the medicinal bath: “Young Master, go out quickly.”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Ye Yong retreated and pulled the screen shut. His clothes were quite wet. He looked down and saw the water stains from a delicate body imprinted on them.
On the other side of the screen, a clean dress had long been placed on the chair. Wu Xue dried her rosy and smooth body and put it on. She then meticulously smoothed out the wrinkles of her dress before pulling the screen open and walking out .
After successfully tempering her body, Wu Xue’s entire aura was different. If she was a sickly little animal before, then she was now a lively little animal.
Ye Yong looked at her rosy cheeks and really couldn’t resist the urge to kiss her. It wasn’t lust acting up. When people saw something cute, they couldn’t help but do so, just like babies or kittens and puppies.
Being stared at by Ye Yong the entire time, Wu Xue lowered her head: “Young Master, don’t keep staring at me.”
“hahahaha, I just feel that you’ve changed quite a bit. If there are no accidents, you are no longer a mortal now.”
“I’ve become a martial artist?”
“You can say that. Next, you need to gather energy. Although you can’t take the path of cultivation, you can take the path of martial arts. Martial skills are not necessarily weaker than spiritual skills and magic.” Ye Yong took out a lot of super-grade energy-gathering pills and a profound-grade martial skill for Wu Xue.
“I’ll be in seclusion for the next few days. You should go into seclusion too. Let’s both digest what we’ve gained.”
“Mm…” When facing death, one’s heart was very fragile. Ye Yong had accompanied her the entire time during the body tempering process, and his figure had been deeply imprinted in Wu Xue’s heart. Compared to cultivating, she wanted to be with Young Master more.
At this time, Ye Yong also discovered that her favorability had changed. He went in and took a look.
Good heavens, Wu Xue’s favorability, which was originally only 40, had now directly risen to 80. Her attitude towards Ye Yong had changed from [worship] to [dependence], and the reversal points had increased by more than 100,000. Ye Yong now had 230,000 reversal points, a huge sum.
Excluding the medicinal herbs and auxiliary energy exchanged for Wu Xue, the net profit was over 90,000. At the same time, he also helped Wu Xue successfully forge her body, gaining a cute little girl who could grow into a Valkyrie in the future.
With such favorability, it shouldn’t be a problem to kiss her a little, right?
Ye Yong beckoned Wu Xue over. Wu Xue was a little curious and walked in front of Ye Yong. Ye Yong then leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss on the face. “You worked hard. This is a reward for you… Huh? Xiao Xue?”
Ye Yong found that Wu Xue’s eyes closed and she actually fainted like this.
At the same time, the favorability increased by another 5 points.
“Awesome, my Xue.” Holding the fainted Wu Xue, Ye Yong couldn’t help but laugh.
