Chapter 408: Unexpected Intimacy

Had he not been helping him the entire time?

He clapped his hands and waited for him at the door. Soon, Ye Shiyuan returned. He naturally took Bai He’s hand, and the two temporarily left this place.

Bai He watched Ye Shiyuan out of the corner of his eye. His gaze remained fixed ahead and he did not look at Bai He.

Ye Shiyuan is embarrassed?

Mo Zhu’s words had always been reliable.

Could he really have been embarrassed?

Why? Because they were holding hands?

"Shiyuan." Suddenly, Bai He stopped. Ye Shiyuan immediately stopped as well. "What is it?"

"Shiyuan, are you hiding something from me?"

"No."

Bai He could not hold it in any longer and could only say, "I, I just saw that your spiritual power was recovering too slowly, so I fed you some medicine. You could not swallow it, so I had to use another method. Since you already know about it, I will not hide it from you anymore."

Ye Shiyuan was slightly stunned, finally understanding what had happened.

Bai He’s cheeks grew somewhat hot. Although he was thick skinned, he was not shameless.

Bai He lowered his head, not daring to look at Ye Shiyuan. When Ye Shiyuan remained silent for a long time, Bai He curiously raised his head and looked at him.

Ye Shiyuan reached out and wrapped an arm around his waist. He then lowered his head and kissed his lips.

Bai He happened to be standing with a wall directly behind him. Ye Shiyuan’s other hand gently held the back of his head, while his breath came close, carrying a hint of warmth and softness.

Bai He was completely at a loss, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Mm!"

Ye Shiyuan was nervous inside, yet he still held Bai He around the waist without letting go. Whenever he saw Bai He, he would always want to get closer, and even wanted to do something more intimate.

In truth, Ye Shiyuan was not exactly a gentleman. At the very least, in front of Bai He, he definitely was not. He could be very bad, extremely bad, so bad that he did not dare let Bai He know what he was truly like.

"He’er, I think I should go ask Senior Yi Xing for your hand in marriage." Ye Shiyuan suddenly spoke, while Bai He was still somewhat dazed.

But did he really have the qualifications to do that now?

Bai He gasped for breath as he grabbed the front of Ye Shiyuan’s clothes. "Shiyuan!"

"Mm? Do not look at me like that."

Bai He would never realize just how much his seemingly unintentional actions could affect him at times.

Bai He looked at him somewhat aggrievedly. "You bullied me."

"Mm, I did." Ye Shiyuan openly admitted it. Looking at Bai He’s delicate and beautiful face, his heart stirred. He reached out and pulled him into his arms. When he could not see Bai He, it was fine.

Bai He listened to the sound of his heartbeat. After remaining silent for a while, he spoke in a muffled voice. "Shiyuan, let us go back. What if someone comes?"

Here, aside from the masters of each floor, it was basically impossible for anyone else to come over.

However, this floor happened to be the third floor.

"Hey!" The sudden voice made Bai He stiffen all over. That voice was simply far too familiar.

This was the third floor.

Only then did Bai He realize that the voice just now could belong to none other than Zhang Hao.

"Master, Senior Brother, we were so worried about you two, and yet you actually came here secretly behind our backs to do this kind of thing." Zhang Hao’s mouth was full of complaints.

Bai He was too embarrassed to raise his head.

Ye Shiyuan, however, said, "This has nothing to do with you."

"Master, you are embarrassed."

Bai He became annoyed. "Shut up. Is it your place to meddle in my affairs?"

Zhang Hao said, "This is the third floor, the place where I live."

Ye Shiyuan pulled Bai He along by the hand and glanced at Zhang Hao. Just that simple glance was enough to make Zhang Hao feel somewhat frightened. Was there really a need to be so fierce?

Seeing Ye Shiyuan pull Bai He away, Zhang Hao did not chase after them either.

Sure enough, the person in this world whom one absolutely could not afford to offend was actually not Ye Shiyuan, because Ye Shiyuan’s personality was actually quite good. But offending Bai He was another matter entirely.

If Bai He became unhappy, Ye Shiyuan would definitely be unable to hold himself back.

...

They returned to the ninth floor.

When Xu Feng saw Ye Shiyuan return, he naturally felt relieved. He still had his own match today, so after waiting for a little while, he left.

Bai He was worried about Ye Shiyuan’s condition, so he stayed behind to take care of him.

Xu Feng understood as well, so he left.

And besides, whether Bai He was here or not was not important.

"Shiyuan, go back to your room and rest for a while." Bai He had a bright smile on his face. "You should not have completely recovered yet, right?"

Ye Shiyuan slowly walked over to Bai He and held his hand. Bai He felt as though there was something in his hand.

"What is this?"

It was the bead Bai He had given Ye Shiyuan back then. Actually, it did not have much use. It was only meant for defense. But even then, it could only block half of the impact.

"It does not seem like it helped much!"

"No, it canceled out half the power of The Goal of All Life Is Death."

"But was The Goal of All Life Is Death not something you used to deal with Senior Qin Tao?"

Ye Shiyuan gently rubbed Bai He’s head. "Senior Qin Tao is stronger than I imagined. He seems to have a certain ability that can completely reflect my power back at me, but this ability is not completely harmless either."
