Chapter 26: Cultivating Together

Ye Shiyuan could not help but feel doubtful, could this method really work?

What if something went wrong later, and there was no way to reverse it? What would they do then?

Seeing Ye Shiyuan hesitate, Bai He just grabbed him forcefully and dragged him to his side.

He then threw himself onto him and resting his head against Ye Shiyuan’s chest, right over his heart.

It seemed that this way felt a bit more comfortable.

Ye Shiyuan did not move at all.

His entire body was stiff.

Was Bai He... acting like a little kitten, almost as if he were being coquettish?

Ye Shiyuan suddenly remembered something.

The spiritual power gathered in his palm and he slowly transmitted it into Bai He’s body. To his surprise, Bai He was actually able to accept it.

After passing through him, the spiritual power seemed to become even purer.

Bai He felt warm all over and incomparably comfortable.

His eyes were slightly hazy as he spoke. "Ye Shiyuan, thank you."

"Little Elder Bai, you’re too polite."

Compared to what Bai He had done, Ye Shiyuan did not feel that his small effort was anything worth thanking.

He did not know how much time had passed when Ye Shiyuan slowly withdrew his spiritual power.

Sensing that the spiritual energy within Bai He’s body had already stabilized, he softly called out, "Little Elder Bai."

There was no response.

How could this be?

Ye Shiyuan who is looking nervous helped Bai He sit up.

Only then did he realize that at some point, Bai He had already fallen asleep.

He let out a light sigh.

After laying Bai He down and tucking him in properly with the blanket, he finally left the room.

...

In the early morning, Bai He felt that he had slept very well.

The side effects from taking the three pills the night before had almost completely disappeared, and his cultivation seemed to have improved noticeably.

It’s late stage Condensing Essence!

This was simply too exciting.

It seemed that cultivating together with Ye Shiyuan was truly the best way for him to improve his spiritual power.

"Master, Master!"

Early in the morning, Xu feng came knocking on the door.

Bai He impatiently ran over to open it and said, "What are you doing? Is there something wrong?"

"Master, it’s almost noon already. How long are you planning to sleep?"

Uh...

Bai He glanced at the sun in the sky and felt somewhat speechless.

It really was noon.

"Even if it’s noon, you still shouldn’t come over to wake me up."

"Master, who was it that said one must diligently cultivate every day? It hasn’t even been that long and you’re already planning to slack off?"

Bai He curled her lips.

How was she slacking off?

It was just that something unexpected had happened last night; otherwise, he would have woken up long ago.

"Where is Ye Shiyuan?"

"You mean Senior Brother? He already went out to cultivate early this morning. But it’s very strange, how did his cultivation improve so quickly?"

Really?

Bai He immediately ran over.

Ye Shiyuan improving his cultivation was a good thing; that way, he could protect him.

After all, he had helped him and the protagonist was at the very least someone who likes to repaid kindness with kindness.

According to what Xu feng said, after consuming the Heavenly Soul Tempering Pill, Ye Shiyuan had broken through to the Golden Core stage and was now already at the mid Golden Core stage.

Moreover, based on Bai He’s observations, reaching late stage Golden Core was only a matter of time.

Conservatively speaking, it would take less than three months to break through.

After waiting quietly for a while, Ye Shiyuan opened his eyes.

Looking refreshed and clear headed, he naturally also saw Bai He squatting in front of him while staring at him.

He immediately stood up. "Greetings, Little Elder Bai."

"No need to be so restrained. Sit down, I have something to say to you."

"Little Elder Bai, just say whatever you wish. I’ll listen while standing."

Really, why was he always so polite?

"Can I cultivate together with you from now on?"

Ye Shiyuan found it somewhat strange. "Little Elder Bai, haven’t we always been cultivating together?"

"No, that’s not what I mean. I mean me and you, excluding Xiaofeng."

At first, Ye Shiyuan still did not quite understand the meaning behind Bai He’s words.

But then he seemed to realize something, and his expression became extremely awkward.

"No... that’s not possible."

"Why is it not possible?"

He actually asked why it was not possible.

"Little Elder Bai, this absolutely cannot be done. It goes against propriety!"

Against propriety?

Bai He did not feel that there was anything improper about it at all.

"I only want to cultivate together with you, that’s all. If you doesn’t want to, then fine, there’s no need to find such grand and high sounding excuses. Hmph!" Bai He snorted coldly and walked away.

If he had not discovered that cultivating together with Ye Shiyuan could rapidly improve his own strength, he would never have said such things.

He had done so much for him, yet Ye Shiyuan was still so petty and unwilling to agree to such a small matter.

Moreover, wasn’t this a mutually beneficial thing?

He gained improvement and didn’t Ye Shiyuan also improve himself?

Bai He sat down on a stone bench.

He had not gone to cultivate with them today and could only sigh repeatedly, truly unable to figure it out.

"Master!"

Xu feng’s voice came from behind him, but Bai He had no mood to respond.

"If you have something to ask, go ask Ye Shiyuan. Don’t ask me, he understands far more than I do."

Xu feng placed a plate in front of Bai He.

"Master, I came to bring you something to eat. There’s nothing I don’t understand, rather, you’re being too exaggerated, Master. You’re still so young, yet you actually..."

"You’re being disrespectful, how are you talking to your master? What do you mean by ’I’m still young’!"
