Chapter 502 - The condition of his body
Ximen Feng saw the way the Sima You Yue was acting and said with a bitter smile, “I knew I wouldn’t be able to hide anything from you. I didn’t want you to look but you refused to give up.”
“The aura in your body is too suspicious. It’s a creature that keeps wanting to devour your vital organs.” Sima You Yue said, “Based on the current speed, you won’t even live past five years.”
“The doctor at Kong Valley said so as well.” Ximen Feng said, “I know that my time is short, so I left the valley after controlling that aura. I want to kill the people from the Zong Zheng Clan and the Yin Yang Palace. I must take revenge for our family.”
“Have you killed many?” Sima You Yue said.
“Not many. Of those that killed our family, I have killed less than ten percent.” Ximen Feng said with self-hate.
Sima You Yue took her hand back and said, “Although that aura is inside you, you’re suppressing it for the time being. Although it’s useful for you, every time you use it, it takes away your lifespan, cutting short your time.”
“I know.” Ximen Feng said, “The doctors have all told me the same thing.”
“It’s good that you know.” Sima You Yue said, “From today onwards, you are not to use that aura. I will find a way to help you seal it away, then look for a way to get rid of it. I’ll get rid of its root for you.”
“Big Sis, I’ve already gotten used to the strength. If I give up on it, I…”
“Your life is more important.” Sima You Yue held on to his hand, “We’ve already died once. Could it be that you want to go through it a second time? We can take our revenge slowly, and live even longer. Only then can we take our revenge better. Think about it. When we are strong, our revenge will be sweeter when we exterminate the Zong Zheng Clan and Yin Yang Palace. How many opportunities can you grasp with your life at its end?”
“But the people from Kong Valley have told me it’s impossible to get rid of since it’s entered my body and taken root.” Ximen Feng said.
“Do you not know of your elder sister’s medical abilities?” Sima You Yue said, “Furthermore, I’ve gotten some fortuitous encounters these years and obtained a few ancient medical books. My skills have improved quite a bit. Although I have not yet thought of a way to cure you, I have many ways to prolong the time. We’ll think of a way to get rid of it later on.”
“Alright then.” Ximen Feng said, “I just knew that this would happen once we reunited.”
“That’s why you refused to acknowledge me that time despite recognising me. Hmph, you really broke my heart for a long while.” Sima You Yue pursed her lips and complained.
“Big Sis, don’t be mad. I was thinking that I didn’t have many years left to live. If we acknowledged each other only for me to die again, you would be sad. I didn’t want you to be sad.”
“Hmph, how could I not have guessed that you would think this way.” Sima You Yue sighed, “If I was really mad, I would not have chased after you. However, I initially thought you were using some secret art to raise your strength. I was worried that it would damage your body, that’s why I chased after you. Who would have expected that your situation was worse than I imagined.”
“Big Sis, you’ve always been this smart.” Ximen Feng sighed.
“How would I be your sister otherwise! It’s a good thing I chased after you. Otherwise, with how big the Primordial Lands are and your ability to cover your tracks, it wouldn’t be easy for me to find you.” Sima You Yue said blissfully.
“What about you, Big Sis? How did you end up this way? Big Bro Qin Mo said that he personally buried your body, how could you still be alive?” Ximen Feng asked.
“Actually, I’m already dead. The me I am now is not the me from before.” Sima You Yue.
“Not the you from before? It’s no wonder I saw that your eyes were familiar when we first met, but I couldn’t recognise your appearance. Then how is your situation like now?” Ximen Feng asked.
“After I died, my soul entered this body. I’ve been using this body to live….”
Sima You Yue told him the general story about her situation, and Ximen Feng looked at her with a confused gaze when she was done. “So you’re saying that your current body is a lot younger than me, so you should be calling me Big Brother and I shouldn’t call you Big Sis.”
Sima You Yue immediately slapped his head, “A big sister is a big sister. Even if this body were a thousand years younger than you, I’d still be your big sister. Ever since you came out from mother’s womb later than me, you were destined to lose the opportunity to become my big brother for life. Hmph, hmph!”
“I’ve been suppressed by you ever since I was young. It’s so tough for me to finally have the opportunity to be older than you, but you’re still suppressing me. Using your words against you, this just doesn’t make sense!” Ximen Feng protested.
“Don’t talk to me about science and the like. This is something that will never change.” Sima You Yue said, “Right, that Kong Xiang Yi is pretty good to you, are you going to help me take home a sister-in-law?”
“Big Sis, what are you saying? She’s just a clingy brat.” Ximen Feng was rather awkward as he spoke about Kong Xiang Yi.
“Still a brat- have you seen a hundred year old brat before?” Sima You Yue gave a long sigh, “Did you think that Big Sis doesn’t know about the world because I’ve come up from the continent below? I’ve heard about Kong Xiang Yi before. I thought that she wasn’t a good person before. However, seeing how she never leaves your side, I’m pretty satisfied.”
“How could I be with her looking like this.” Ximen Feng said.
“You can rest assured about this. I’m unable to settle the problem of that aura for now, but I have no problem dealing with that wound on your face.” Sima You Yue said confidently, “I’ll help you become as handsome as you used to be. You can attract tens of thousands of ladies.”
“But…”
“I’ll definitely let you live a long life of a few hundreds of years.” Sima You Yue knew what he wanted to say, “Right now, I’ve already hailed the second valley master of the Divine Devil Valley as my master. You know him as well, his alchemy is extremely powerful. There are also many of these kinds of talents in the Divine Devil Valley. Even if I can’t do it, with everyone’s help, we will definitely find a way. That’s why, I’ll definitely let you have your sweet love for a long long time.”
“Actually, this time, I’ve come out to the outer regions not only to obtain information. I heard that the Zong Zheng Clan and Yin Yang Palace will be coming to participate in the action. Another reason is to look for the heavenly sect’s vice principal. I heard that his skills in alchemy and medicine are top notch. Even though he may or may not be better than you, I still hope to try and get him to act. However, I’ve heard that he doesn’t usually move around outside.”
“That’s great.” Sima You Yue said, “My master wants us to head to the school to learn a bit. At that time, I’ll see if I can find him and get him to take a look.” Sima You Yue said.
“Alright.”
“…”
The siblings spoke on the summit for an entire day and night. They told each other exactly what happened all these years. However, most of the time, Sima You Yue was the one telling him about the things happening in the lower continent, and updating him about her family. Compared to Ximen Feng, her experiences were a lot more exciting.
They spoke all the way to the evening of the second day, where Wu Lingyu finally returned to the mountain top with Kong Xiang Yi. Ximen Feng had put his mask back on as well.
“Ximen Feng, if we don’t head for Shandong City soon, we won’t make it in time.” Kong Xiang Yi looked at Ximen Feng with some grievance.
She had only managed to get a few sentences out of him after many years of her hard work, but he actually spoke with this ‘Big Sis’ for an entire day and night.
The difference was too much!
