Chapter 34: Your Meridians Have Recovered?!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When did this guy arrive?!

Mu Qinglan was inexplicably embarrassed that Yun Yi had caught her in this position. The way Yun Yi was looking at her, it felt like she had done something terribly wrong.

Yun Yi never had anything good to say about her, but this was the first time he had called her a cripple directly to her face.

When Mu Liu’er saw Yun Yi, she was also stunned.

Yun Yi’s face was really breathtaking.

Mu Qinglan had long been accustomed to his features, and she immediately released Mu Liu’er. Mu Qinglan shoved Mu Liu’er forward with her elbow, and Mu Liur’er lunged forward, regaining her balance after much difficulty.

“Haha, it’s a misunderstand, just a misunderstanding!” 

Mu Qinglan couldn’t afford to offend this guy right now. If she did, she would have no way to hide from him!

Mu Liu’er had also finally come back to her senses. She had been publicly teased, then heard some unpleasant words, and her face had already changed from white to red. She gritted her pearl white teeth and shot a deadly glare at Mu Qinglan.

Yun Yi shifted his gaze slightly and noted that Mu Liu’er’s wrist was red and swollen.

It was evident that Mu Qinglan had been ruthless when dealing with her just now.

Looking at the youth who had let go of Mu Liu’er standing there with a bright smile on his face, Yun Yi felt that irritable anger in his heart dissipated by a lot.

Yun Yi felt slightly startled at that and frowned slightly. He had no relation with Mu Linghan, so why did he feel angry at the sight just now?

He had lost control of himself for that instant…

At that moment, the youth who stood sideways with a smile on his face as he leaned it, he really looked like…

They were siblings, after all.

Yun Yi closed his eyes and shoved those emotions down.

When he opened his eyes, it had returned to its usual composure.

Mu Qinglan looked at the several expressions that flashed across Yun Yi’s face in a short period, and she was also confused. She really couldn’t figure out what Yun Yi’s intention was.

Mu Qinglan thought for a moment, then pointed at Mu Liu’er. 

“Something like this… really doesn’t interest me.” 

Mu Liu’er was embarrassed and indignant to the extreme. This Mu Linghan was clearly humiliating her on purpose!

“You’re too much!”

Just when Mu Qinglan thought the other young woman was about to lash out again, Mu Liu’er suddenly stomped her foot fiercely on the ground, turned around, and ran away.

Mu Qinglan was speechless.

The two youths who had followed Mu Liu’er here naturally felt their heart ache at the sight, and hurriedly chased after Mu Liu’er. Before they left, they didn’t forget to shoot one last fierce glare at Mu Qinglan.

Those glares screamed, “Just you wait!” 

Soon, the courtyard was empty once more, save for Mu Qinglan and Yun Yi.

Mu Qinglan sighed.

She had only made a few moves to test their strength, and Mu Liu’er had been the one to provoke her in the first place. Now, Mu Qinglan had actually offended three people at once because of that. Life just wasn’t easy for her.

When she caught sight of the white robes in the corner of her eyes, Mu Qinglan felt a headache growing.

Compared to Yun Yi, offending anyone else seemed to be a small thing.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and also cold…

“Why did you come back?” 

Mu Qinglan cleared her throat, making it sound as though her question was casually thrown out.

Yun Yi was unfazed.

“There’s still something you need to return to me. You wouldn’t have forgotten, right?”

It wasn’t even a question.

Mu Qinglan balked at the thought.

“But…. the Vermillion Bird has already…”

“Although I don’t know how you’re holding it inside you, did you think I wouldn’t be able to tell that the two of you are not contracted?”

Mu Qinglan froze.

Yun Yi had suspected this before, but he hadn’t thought about it carefully before this. After all, Mu Linghan would only have had a chance to survive if he had contracted the Vermillion Bird.

But, no matter how much he thought about it, Yun Yi felt that the aura around Mu Linghan was wrong. So, he got suspicious.

When he saw Mu Linghan’s reaction to his words, Yun Yi knew immediately that his words had hit the mark.

“As expected, you still frequently use the same tactics,” Yun Yi said indifferently.

Mu Qinglan knew that this was not a compliment from Yun Yi at all.

“Think however you want to. Either way, it’s with me now. So, if you want it, then come get it.” Mu Qinglan said as she turned around to walk away. “It’s no big deal. I can give you this life of mine.” 

Her words were calm, but Yun Yi’s heart thumped in his chest.

Kill Mu Linghan?

Of course, the matter couldn’t be more straightforward.

However… Yun Yi subconsciously dismissed this option in his heart.

Looking at Mu Linghan’s retreating back and how confident he was, Yun Yi felt reluctant to do such a thing.

“I’ve returned her favor by saving you before this, so we’re even,” Yun Yi said suddenly.

Over the past few months, he would occasionally recall things that had happened in the Zhongyuan Secret Realm, but he had never mentioned that name. It was like a spell hovering and pressing over his heart. Every time he wanted to say it, he would hesitate over and over again, never able to say it out loud.

Mu Qinglan paused in her steps.

“Yeah,” she answered after a few moments. “If you really wanted to kill me, I won’t have anything to say about it.” 

Yun Yi’s hand clenched into fists under his sleeves.

The Vermillion Bird was inside Mu Linghan’s body. Even though Yun Yi didn’t know how the bird could exist inside the youth without a contract, it would probably be a difficult task if he were to take it forcefully.

But, if he didn’t take it… Mu Linghan would definitely not let go of this trump card so easily.

“I can exchange it for anything you want.” 

This was Yun Yi’s biggest concession that he was willing to make.

Mu Qinglan turned around, somewhat surprised.

Although she had deliberately said all those things, she hadn’t expected Yun Yi not to make a single move against her.

When had his nature changed? In the Zhongyuan Secret Realm in the beginning, didn’t he also fight against her so many times?

Mu Qinglan thought about it for a moment, and decided that this solution was feasible too.

Although the Vermillion Bird was powerful, she couldn’t make a contract with it right now. It seemed that Xue You also just intended to imprison the bird inside the black jade tablet to make it obedient to her.

It was like carrying a brilliant treasure but being unable to use it.

If she were to exchange it for something she needed, perhaps she could also…

“That’s also possible…” Mu Qinglan muttered.

“Hey! Don’t you dare give me to that kid!” 

As she was thinking about it, a grumpy voice suddenly came from her sea of consciousness.

The Vermillion Bird?

‘It’s not like you can do anything, and you’re even making a fuss instead. Wouldn’t it be better to exchange you for some other treasure?’

There were no changes in Mu Qinglan’s expression, but she replied to the bird on the inside.

Although the Vermillion Bird was locked in the black jade tablet and its appearance couldn’t be seen, the haughty arrogance in its voice was still apparent. It was easy for anyone who heard it to imagine it holding its head high, flames bursting out from its body.

‘I am the Vermillion Bird! What do you think I am?! How can I be traded like some mere object?’

The Vermillion Bird was such a noble creature, but now it had been reduced to an object of barter!

How embarrassing! Embarrassing to the extreme!

‘Of course you’re a treasure. Otherwise, how can I exchange you for money?’ Mu Qinglan replied inwardly matter-of-factly.

The Vermillion Bird was about to combust in anger.

“Heh. Girl, just ignore it. Even if you wanted to let it go, it wouldn’t go.” 

Xue You’s tone was light, but he was very certain about it. His words also carried a hint of something else underneath it.

The Vermillion Bird must have felt something unusual about the black jade tablet. Since it belonged to Mu Qinglan, she would definitely stand at the strongest peak when she developed and grew up!

The Vermillion Bird naturally didn’t want to give up such a great opportunity!

After hearing Xue You’s words, the Vermillion Bird immediately shouted, “What do you know?”

The Vermillion Bird’s tone was also ambiguous.

‘Heh.’

Mu Qinglan’s eyes suddenly cleared, and she smiled at Yun Yi, who was still waiting for her answer.

“Sorry, I don’t think that’s possible.” 

In the next instant, a blur appeared in front of her eyes. Suddenly, she couldn’t move her body!

An ice-cold aura rushed towards her!

Mu Qinglan lashed out, converging all her Yuan Energy into her fist!

There was no changes in Yun Yi’s expression. He raised his hand and moved it forward…

Bang!

Blocking Mu Qinglan’s fist easily with a palm.

Yun Yi felt a little surprised. Mu Linghan’s fist seemed a little small…

The thought had yet to fully form when Yun Yi’s gaze sharpened, and he glanced at Mu Linghan’s face.

“Your meridians have recovered?!”
