However, this path was too risky. Even if Ye Jingtang succeeded, he wouldn’t be able to impart his learnings. What if something happened to the empress? It was safer to find the ready-made Roaring Dragon Chart.
Daoist Xuanji’s distracting thoughts flashed away as she continued to apply the Jade Dragon Ointment to the wounds on Ye Jingtang’s body to treat the internal injuries. After touching him for a while, her hand reached under his navel and stopped.
Legs were one of the most important points of strength for martial artists. There were some red marks on Ye Jingtang’s exposed calves, so there must be some on his thighs. Logically speaking, medicine should be applied here, but… Daoist Xuanji glanced at Ye Jingtang, who had fallen asleep. She wanted to put on a calm expression and pretend that she didn’t care because she was treating injuries.
But wouldn’t this be a lie? If she saw it, she would probably never forget it for the rest of her life…
Daoist Xuanji deliberated for a moment before taking out a handkerchief from her pocket and covering her eyes. Then she tore open his pants with a little force, put some Jade Dragon Ointment on her hand, and continued applying the medicine…
Pitter-patter…
The crisp sound of the rain made the cabin seem exceptionally quiet. Only the muttering of rhe bird outside the door could be heard.
Ye J ingtang had fallen into a deep sleep. There was no pressure or dream. He just let his body repair the various injuries after the fierce battle.
Originally, this baby-like sleep would last until night or early tomorrow morning.
But after an unknown period of time, his consciousness was suddenly awakened. In his half-awake stare, he felt a soft and warm hand caressing the muscles in his lower abdomen and legs. It was very comfortable…
Ye Jingtang was still half-conscious and didn’t know where he was. He automatically thought that Third Lady or Ning’er was treating his injuries, and his body instinctively reacted under the comfort.
But soon, Ye Jingtang realized that something was wrong…
Ye Jingtang suddenly woke up. He opened his right eye slightly and looked around. He saw Daoist Xuanji in a snow-colored dress sitting sideways in front of him. She was holding a medicine bottle in her left hand and applying medicine with her right hand. Her expression was very calm, and her eyes were blindfolded.
Because Ye Jingtang couldn’t see her cynical gaze, her long hair draping over her shoulders and beautiful face made her look a little fairy-like. Her shoulders and waist were just right, and her clothes drew perfect curves…
Ye Jingtang was still a little confused. After a quick glance, his gaze moved down again, looking at the source of the touch. Daoist Xuanji’s hand was applying Jade Dragon Ointment on his thigh muscles, and not far from the fair palm was the battle-ready scoundrel…
?!
Clatter!
Ye Jingtang turned over and pulled up his torn pants to cover his inconvenient spot. At the same time, he pressed down on Daoist Xuanji’s hand.
But he used too much strength and felt a sharp pain in his muscles, causing him to gasp. “Hiss!”
“Hmm?”
In order to keep her mind from wandering, Daoist Xuanji had been silently reciting Daoist classics. She really didn’t notice that a scoundrel was eyeing her covetously.
Realizing that Ye Jingtang had turned over and grabbed her hand, Daoist Xuanji frowned and said, “What’s wrong? Do you think I’m plotting against you while you’re asleep?”
Ye Jingtang looked at the innocent face of Daoist Xuanji, who had yet to understand what had happened, and felt a little embarrassed. After confirming that she hadn’t noticed, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. “Uh… That… I thought I was in danger and woke up with a start… My mind isn’t clear yet…”
Daoist Xuanji’s right hand was held tightly. Seeing that Ye Jingtang didn’t let go, she was a little dissatisfied. She wanted to pull down the blindfold with her left hand, but just as she raised her hand, Ye Jingtang grabbed her left hand!
??
Daoist Xuanji’s hands were held, and she sat up straight. “Ye Jingtang, 1 am Liren’s master. Do you think that I won’t beat you up if you’re injured?1’
Ye Jingtang was at full mast, and his tattered pants couldn’t suppress the scoundrel at all. If he let go, he would be exposed. How could he dare to let Daoist Xuanji pull down her blindfold? He explained awkwardly, “My pants are torn…”
“Can’t you cover yourself? Or are you afraid that I’ll lift it up and peek?”
“You should keep your eyes covered. I’ll finish applying the medicine myself. It’s inconvenient to cover myself.”
Daoist Xuanji thought about it and agreed, so she didn’t say anything else. After Ye Jingtang let go of her hands, she didn’t take off her blindfold. She just sat back a little, leaned against the wall, picked up a towel, and wiped her hands.
Ye Jingtang actually wanted Daoist Xuanji to go out, but it wasn’t appropriate with the heavy rain outside. After some thought, he acted natural and continued to apply medicine. At the same time, he tried his best to calm down and focus, wanting to suppress the scoundrel.
Daoist Xuanji picked up her wine gourd and took a sip. She suddenly recalled that Ye Jingtang had just drunk the wine from the gourd. She wiped the mouth of the gourd and asked, “When did you figure out those saber moves today?”
“When you were drunk last night. While I was practicing the saber alone, I suddenly had an idea, and 1 figured them out.”
“Just last night?”
“It doesn’t count as one night. I’ve been practicing the saber to build my foundation since 1 was a child, and I’ve been thinking about the method to break the Dragon Slaying Decree for the past few months. Last night, 1 was only thinking about the qi circulation methods. I was able to win because of my accumulation of more than ten years and the fortuitous encounters during this period of time that caused my internal energy to soar…”
“Of course I know that. Even so, to be able to study a move thoroughly in one night is astonishing comprehension, much less two. But those moves of yours aren’t good. Moves that hurt yourself before hurting the enemy can only be used as trump cards when your life is on the line. The moment you start, you’re risking your life. I’m afraid you’ll have to lie in bed every day in the future.”
Ye Jingtang naturally knew the flaws of these moves. He chuckled and said, “When experts fight, it’s just one move. Being injured is better than being killed. However, these moves can indeed only be used as killing moves. When Xuanyuan Chao used the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade today, although there was a difference in explosive power, it raised the upper limit of the Eight-Steps Frenzied Blade without paying any price. His attainments are really worthy of his reputation as the Saber Chief. 1’11 just use that move in the future.,”
