Chapter 1939 - 1940: Ye Xuan’s Compassion

Chapter 1939: Chapter 1940: Ye Xuan’s Compassion

"The Life and Death Pill developed by Master truly possesses the effect of Resurrection. After my little sister swallowed the Life and Death Pill, she also regained the vital qi of a living person!"

Snake Lord remained bowed, not daring to rise. His deep voice was filled with excitement and gratitude.

"She only recovered the vital qi of a living person?" Ye Xuan’s sword-like brows furrowed slightly.

"That’s right." Snake Lord nodded. "This humble servant used the secret technique passed down solely in the Snake Lord line, combined with the Life and Death Pill, and finally brought my sister back. But her life aura had been cut off for far too long, so now she only has the vital qi of a living person, yet shows not the slightest sign of fully awakening and recovering."

"Just as I expected." Ye Xuan nodded. "If I’m not mistaken, your sister is currently still in a false-life state. On the surface, she has the vital qi of a living person, but in truth, she’s still a dead person. To truly resurrect her, you’re still one step short at the very end."

Thud!

Snake Lord immediately knelt, kowtowing to the ground. "Master is a Divine Doctor of this age and will surely have a way to completely resurrect my sister. I beg Master to act. This humble servant will be eternally grateful!"

"Get up." Ye Xuan said calmly, "Since you’ve already completed the first half of the Resurrection, I naturally won’t sit back and watch for the final step... Take me to see your sister now."

"Thank you for Master’s benevolence!" Snake Lord hurriedly stood up. "Please, Master, follow this humble servant!"

As he spoke, Snake Lord’s figure flickered, and he leapt out of the villa, walking toward the outside of Ti Flower Garden at an unhurried pace.

Ye Xuan vaulted forward and closely followed.

The utterly dumbfounded Xiahou Yudie recovered her senses and also followed Ye Xuan, unable to help asking, "He’s your Servant too?"

"You could say so, for now." Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Xiahou Yudie frowned. "You stayed in the East Sea just to save your Servant’s younger sister?"

Ye Xuan: "Otherwise?"

Xiahou Yudie: "..."

She suddenly felt something indescribable.

A bit absurd, yet somewhat awe-inspiring.

This Ye Xuan guy is really too strange...

Right after developing the Life and Death Pill, Ye Xuan had summoned Snake Lord and told him that Resurrection wouldn’t be that simple. So, to facilitate the follow-up, before taking action, Snake Lord had already brought his younger sister to live in a nearby apartment.

Therefore, in just a short while, the three of them arrived at where Snake Lord’s sister was.

"She’s in this room." Snake Lord bowed. "I must trouble Master to act. If even Master has no way in the end, there’s no need to force it. Perhaps that is simply my sister’s fate."

"Mm, you two stay at the door." Ye Xuan nodded, pushed the door open, and walked in.

Xiahou Yudie had barely seen the situation inside when the door was already shut tight.

Outside, only Xiahou Yudie and Snake Lord remained.

Snake Lord stared unblinkingly at the door, clearly a bit nervous.

Xiahou Yudie, on the other hand, looked Snake Lord up and down with interest. Her beautiful eyes flickered twice, and she suddenly asked, "You really are Ye Xuan’s Servant?"

Snake Lord gave Xiahou Yudie a strange look, then nodded expressionlessly. "Yes."

"Why?" Xiahou Yudie frowned. "I’ve heard of the Snake Lord line. Though you don’t have that much ability, you’re famously proud. Why would you willingly become Ye Xuan’s Servant?"

Snake Lord didn’t speak, as if he hadn’t heard Xiahou Yudie’s question.

Xiahou Yudie was slightly stunned and felt a bit annoyed, but after being tormented by Ye Xuan these past few days, her temper had improved quite a bit, so she didn’t press further.

In the past, if Snake Lord dared not answer her questions, she’d have grabbed him back and tortured him for a few months first...

Just then—

Snake Lord suddenly spoke. "At the start, people from the Holy Mansion used my sister to threaten me, ordering me to kill him. I failed. To save my sister, I traded my Snake’s Eye for a chance at pitiful survival and thus became his Servant."

Xiahou Yudie looked at Snake Lord’s eyes. "And he returned the Snake’s Eye to you?"

"Yes." Snake Lord nodded. "I did quite a few things for him. One day, he suddenly returned the Snake’s Eye to me. Only then did I realize that from the very beginning, he never wanted me as a Servant. Agreeing to my request was only because he was merciful."

Xiahou Yudie frowned slightly. "So after you retrieved the Snake’s Eye, you still decided to keep being his Servant?"

"That’s right." Snake Lord said in a deep voice. "I will follow him for life, until death."

Xiahou Yudie: "..."

All of a sudden, Xiahou Yudie seemed to discover a version of Ye Xuan completely different from the one in her perception.

Admittedly, in Xiahou Yudie’s eyes, the Snake Lord line had nothing besides pride.

But she also knew that Ye Xuan had risen rapidly in this recent period. If you pushed the timeline back, Snake Lord’s various tricks were still very helpful to him.

He clearly could have used Snake Lord with a clear conscience, yet he took the initiative to return the Snake’s Eye. Such behavior was downright bizarre.

Just like now.

Snake Lord was nothing more than his Servant, lowly as dust, yet he was willing to stay in the East Sea specifically for the life and safety of Snake Lord’s younger sister.

On the surface, this didn’t seem to cost Ye Xuan much.

But objectively speaking, unless Ye Xuan valued Snake Lord very highly, he would never do this.

Why?

Because the one needing his help this time is the Xiahou Family of the Hidden Dragon!

For Snake Lord’s sake, he forcibly stayed in the East Sea, which carried the risk of enraging the Xiahou Family!

Ye Xuan is such a cunning person; Xiahou Yudie didn’t believe he was unaware of this risk.

Yet he still chose to do so without hesitation, unwavering from the very beginning!

This was very unreasonable.

This Ye Xuan, so loyal and righteous, full of compassion, was the complete opposite of the scum and beast she’d come to know these past few days!

Xiahou Yudie pressed her lips together. Having developed a trace of curiosity toward Ye Xuan, she couldn’t help but ask again, "What kind of person is Ye Xuan?"

"He..."

Snake Lord thought for a moment, then a deep reverence surged into his blood-red eyes. "In some people’s eyes, he is a Demon God, a thug, a man who kills without blinking, utterly inhuman.

But in my world, in the eyes of all who follow him, he is a great man—a hero who looks down on no one and wrongs no one, a true man!"

Xiahou Yudie fell silent, a strange light flashing through her beautiful eyes.

Ye Xuan, just what kind of man are you?

You’re so strange.

At the same time, you seem to have a sort of indescribable charm?

Charm, right?

Thinking back to those few peerless beauties in the villa, who got along so harmoniously every day, the always-confused Xiahou Yudie suddenly seemed to understand a bit.

She understood why, despite being so outstanding, they could still tolerate all of Ye Xuan’s various flaws and, for his sake, go so far...
