Chapter 383: Which One Is Real?

Had he heard wrong? Or perhaps he had not.

"Shiyuan, it is so hot in here."

Ye Shiyuan immediately withdrew the power of Pure Flame.

He turned around and standing before him was Bai He, completely unharmed.

Without thinking, he immediately pulled Bai He into his embrace.

"Master."

Bai He had no idea why Ye Shiyuan was reacting so emotionally.

However, the surroundings no longer seemed as unbearably hot as before.

To lose someone and regain them again.

Although only a short amount of time had passed, no one could possibly know what Ye Shiyuan had experienced during those moments.

"Master... You are alright."

"I am perfectly fine."

Bai He paused before continuing.

"Do you really think someone like her could kill me? Shiyuan, do you not think you are underestimating me a little too much?"

Ye Shiyuan quietly responded. "Mhm."

Bai He pushed lightly against his chest with both hands. "The matter has not been settled yet."

Ye Shiyuan immediately restrained his emotions and slowly released Bai He.

That was true.

Everything had not yet been resolved.

He could not let himself relax too early.

"You are still alive? How is that possible!"

No wonder Ye Shiyuan had lost control earlier.

Even Si Xia believed such a thing was impossible.

Bai He no longer cared whether it was possible or impossible.

The important thing was that he was standing here perfectly fine.

The moment he heard that Ye Shiyuan’s corruption value had begun soaring upward at an alarming rate, he had immediately rushed over and grabbed Ye Shiyuan’s hand.

Fortunately, everything had now returned to normal.

"Master, could you step outside first?" Ye Shiyuan asked for Bai He’s permission.

"I originally came in because I wanted to tell you something. We forgot to bring Zhang Hao with us. I came to let you know because I wanted to go look for him."

Ye Shiyuan’s face darkened immediately.

That boy would be better off never returning. Yet Bai He actually intended to go looking for him personally.

"Master, please wait outside first. I will go with you to look for him afterward."

"Alright."

Bai He obediently opened the door and left the room.

"Mo Zhu, Si Xia is so powerful. Shiyuan should not have any problems dealing with her, right?"

"Judging from the combat values, Ye Shiyuan clearly has the advantage. Besides, Si Xia already exhausted a considerable amount of spiritual power while trying to kill you earlier."

Bai He nodded.

If the goal was only to defeat Si Xia, then there should not be any major problems.

"Host, you are being far too naive."

"Hm?"

Bai He blinked his eyes in confusion.

He did not understand.

Inside the room, Ye Shiyuan’s expression remained as cold as ever.

Bai He was indeed still alive.

Fortunately... He was still alive.

However, there was one fact that could never be changed.

Si Xia had truly intended to kill Bai He just moments ago. "Y... What exactly do you intend to do?"

Feeling the killing intent radiating from Ye Shiyuan’s body, even Si Xia began to feel genuine fear.

She could not say that she had no opponents here, but she could still live here peacefully and safely. The others also did not dare to casually come over and provoke her.

Originally, she truly had not taken Ye Shiyuan seriously at all.

However, just now when he thought that the little boy had already died, the expression on his face was something Si Xia truly could not forget.

That expression of his was practically telling her that he wanted to kill her.

In front of that little boy, he had hidden himself very well. There had been no killing intent at all, and he had always appeared easygoing and approachable. But now that the little boy was no longer here, it seemed as though his true nature had finally been revealed. His killing intent had also begun to grow increasingly intense.

"Since you have already developed the intention to kill him, then there is no need for you to continue living in this world." Ye Shiyuan would never allow anyone who had harmed Bai He to remain alive in this world.

...

Bai He still did not quite dare to believe what Mo Zhu had told him.

Mo Zhu had actually said that Ye Shiyuan was not merely trying to defeat Si Xia so that Bai He could leave.

Instead, he simply wanted to kill Si Xia in a place where Bai He could not see him.

Bai He hesitated for a while.

In the end, he still carefully pushed the door open.

All he saw was Ye Shiyuan’s tall and upright figure standing directly in front of him, blocking his view completely.

"Shiyuan?" Bai He moved his lips slightly. "Is it over?"

"Master, there is nothing worth looking at. Naturally, it has already been dealt with." Ye Shiyuan took Bai He’s hand and led him out of the room before closing the door behind them.

Because Ye Shiyuan was blocking his view, Bai He did not see anything at all.

"Shiyuan, did you... did you kill Si Xia?" Bai He finally asked. He had not witnessed it with his own eyes, but by now, he already had a good idea of what had happened.

"Master, that is not important. From now on, this floor belongs to us."

Bai He’s expression became somewhat tense. Actually, sometimes Ye Shiyuan’s actions were very similar to what had happened in the original story.

However, at other times, he seemed completely different. It was almost as though he had become an entirely different person.

Which one was the real Ye Shiyuan? Or perhaps, when Bai He had read the original story, he had never truly understood what kind of person Ye Shiyuan really was.

He was not truly the kind and gentle person he appeared to be. He also had an angry and bloodthirsty side. He had simply hidden it extremely well in front of Bai He.

"Master, do we not still have to go find Zhang Hao? Let us go." He could not let Bai He see what was currently inside the room.
