With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

The room was very elegant.

A carved wooden bed, rosewood tables and chairs, and light gauze curtains hanging by the window.

A faint fragrance wafts in the air, like lavender mixed with some other floral scent, bringing a sense of tranquility.

Ye Yaocheng looked around, a mix of emotions welling up inside him.

Every detail here is done so perfectly, which shows how much thought Wang Shiyu has put into this manor.

He sighed softly, pulling himself out of his thoughts.

He looked down at the girl in his arms.

Ji Mingyue lay quietly, her beautiful face devoid of color, yet her pupils, like black gemstones, remained undiminished.

Even without a spirit, she is breathtakingly beautiful.

He carefully placed Ji Mingyue on the bed, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a fragile piece of porcelain.

Ji Mingyue just stared at him with her eyes open, her expression unreadable.

"You're badly injured, so just stay here and rest and recover."

Ye Yaocheng spoke softly, his eyes full of concern.

"I will take care of your health during this time."

After saying that, he turned and left, gently closing the door behind him.

On the bed, Ji Mingyue continued to stare in the direction he had left, without saying a word.

I don't know what she's thinking.

Ye Yaocheng went to the next room and took out the medicine cauldron.

He still had plenty of healing herbs on hand, enough to refine several batches of excellent healing pills.

As soon as I started to circulate my inner energy, a tearing pain shot through my dantian!

Ye Yaocheng groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood!

He hurriedly looked inward and found that the source of his energy, which he had previously stabilized through the Yi Jin Jing, had deteriorated slightly.

"Damn it, why did it break down again so quickly?"

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He could only put down the alchemy for now, sit cross-legged, and start circulating the Yi Jin Jing again.

Once his foundation was somewhat stabilized, he continued refining pills.

The key issue now is Ji Mingyue's injuries.

Moreover, he always felt that Ji Mingyue's current state was very strange, and it wasn't just her physical injuries.

There seemed to be something stuck in my heart.

Physical injuries are easy to treat, but mental illnesses are difficult to cure; he must figure this out.

Over the next few days, Ye Yaocheng spent most of his time refining medicine and taking care of Ji Mingyue.

Occasionally, I will take some time to practice the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) to solidify

However, the effect of fundamental repair is getting worse and worse.

The main problem was that time was too tight, and he couldn't take care of himself at all.

Fortunately, Ji Mingyue's injuries are improving day by day under his careful care.

His injuries healed almost completely in no time.

But those eyes... remained empty.

Ye Yaocheng saw this and was very anxious.

But I didn't know how to start the conversation.

That evening.

Ye Yaocheng brought over the prepared medicinal soup as usual, and gave it to Ji Mingyue along with the pills he had already prepared.

Ji Mingyue's injuries have almost completely healed, and her face has regained its long-lost rosy glow.

She leaned against the headboard, quietly watching him.

"Here, drink your medicine."

Ye Yaocheng scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and brought it to her lips.

Ji Mingyue opened her mouth and obediently drank it.

That's how I've gotten through these days.

She didn't say a word, and he didn't ask any questions; he just fed her like that.

As he was feeding him, Ye Yaocheng's expression suddenly changed!

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his face turned deathly pale instantly!

A flicker of emotion crossed Ji Mingyue's eyes as she looked at him with a questioning gaze.

Ye Yaocheng shoved the bowl into her hands.

"I...I'm going out for a bit."

He covered his mouth and quickly left.

As soon as I closed the door, I couldn't suppress the violent coughing anymore!

"Cough cough cough..."

He was bent over, coughing and trembling all over.

A metallic, sweet taste filled my throat.

The coughing finally stopped after a while.

He opened his hand, revealing a striking crimson patch on his palm.

Ye Yaocheng stared blankly at the pool of blood, then plopped down on the steps.

"It's gotten worse again, this is tough."

He murmured softly.

Although the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) has been used to suppress it, this is ultimately not a long-term solution.

In addition, he has been busy with Ji Mingyue's affairs during this period, so he hasn't had much time to practice the Yi Jin Jing.

Perhaps, only by finding the Supreme Bone can one completely resolve the hidden dangers at one's own origin.

Master Yun once said that without the Supreme Bone, he wouldn't live more than a year.

But only he knows that he may only have six months left to move around freely.

Six months later, the source will be completely uncontrollable.

He will become an ordinary person.

Then, slowly wait to die.

Of course, there is another way.

Find Lin Qingxue and take her with you to find the Supreme Bone.

With her physical support, he might be able to hold on longer.

But... would she be willing?

Even if she were willing, Ye Yaocheng couldn't bear to do it.

This journey will surely be fraught with danger.

His strength has been greatly diminished. If something really happens to him, what will he do in the future, and how will he face the entrustment that Elder Lin entrusted to him?

"Ugh."

He sighed, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said that now was not the time to think about such things.

He got up, straightened his clothes, forced a smile, and pushed the door open.

"Sorry, something came up and I was held up."

He picked up the bowl and continued feeding the medicine.

Ji Mingyue remained silent.

Her eyes were fixed on him, unblinking.

Ye Yaocheng didn't pay attention. After feeding the last spoonful, he got up to leave.

Just then, a cool, soft little hand grabbed him.

Ye Yaocheng was taken aback and turned to look at her with a puzzled expression.

Ji Mingyue looked at him and finally spoke.

Although the voice was somewhat weak, every word was clear.

"I heard you cough just now."

"I understood what that old man said earlier."

"Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

"What happened to the origin again?"

A series of questions, tinged with stubbornness.

Ye Yaocheng remained silent, his small hand clenched tightly, cold yet strong.

Her stunningly beautiful face was now filled with stubbornness.

He knew that not telling or keeping it a secret would definitely not work.

So he explained his physical condition.

After listening to Ye Yaocheng's story, Ji Mingyue remained silent for a long time.

A complex look finally appeared in his eyes.

She looked at Ye Yaocheng, at the bloodstains on the corner of his mouth that he hadn't had time to wipe clean.

I could smell a faint scent of blood on him.

"So... from the very moment you entered the Ji family, your goal was to possess me?"

"Or rather, is it to solve your fundamental problem?"

Her voice was soft, yet it struck Ye Yaocheng's heart like a heavy hammer.

Ye Yaocheng opened his mouth, wanting to explain.

But he found himself speechless.

Because what she said was true.

Ji Mingyue looked at his silent expression and seemed to understand something.

I know you want to explain.

"But... I don't need to hear it."

Ye Yaocheng looked up and met those complex eyes.

Just as he was about to speak, a slender, jade-like finger gently pressed against his lips.

"I said, no explanation is needed."

A resolute glint flashed in Ji Mingyue's eyes.

She took Ye Yaocheng's hand and led him to sit down on the bed.

Then, he began to unbutton his clothes.

Ye Yaocheng's pupils contracted slightly.

Looking at her gradually revealed snow-white neck and delicate collarbone, which were faintly visible.

His primal desires were instantly ignited, but he forcibly suppressed them.

"What...what are you doing?"

His voice was a little hoarse as he forcibly suppressed his excitement.

Ji Mingyue did not stop, and continued to unbutton her third and fourth buttons.

Her clothes were open, exposing large areas of her snow-white skin to the air.

She looked up at Ye Yaocheng, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

"What...does that mean now?"

Or perhaps...

Her voice trembled slightly.

"You don't find me good enough now?"

Ye Yaocheng's throat was dry.

Of course he wanted it.

As long as he and Ji Mingyue combine their yin and yang energies, his original essence can be greatly suppressed.

With the help of the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic), he will not have to worry about the fundamental problem for at least a year.

But... he still hesitated.

"You weren't like this before."

"Besides, you also said that you've cultivated the Heartless Technique, and doing this will only harm you..."

"I don't understand... why is all this happening?"

Ji Mingyue looked at him, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.

"Just because...you're my husband."

"Isn't that enough?"

"Hurry up."

She lowered her eyes.

"If you believe me, I'll tell you why later."

After saying that, she stopped looking at him.

He took off the last of his clothes on his own.

Under the lights, a perfect body was displayed before Ye Yaocheng without reservation.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her figure was exquisite.

Every inch of it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Ye Yaocheng's breathing became completely disordered.

He didn't understand why, but he understood the meaning in her eyes: she needed to do this.

He sighed, stepped forward, and embraced her.

"I believe you, my wife."

The curtains fell.

Springtime atmosphere permeated the room.

The long-suppressed humming, like a beautiful melody, lingered softly.

Outside the window, the moonlight was perfect.

Inside the window, the spring night was in full bloom.
