"So… you did touch me?"
Her eyes reddened instantly. In her mind, the handsome young man before her suddenly seemed hateful.
"What exactly did I do to you?"
Xiao Jian rolled his eyes, then calmly reached out and grabbed the sword tip with his bare hand, letting the sharp edge slice into his palm.
"What are you doing?!"
Yun Yun flinched, thinking he meant to snatch the sword, but he simply let the blood pool, then froze it with a wave of icy energy.
"Now do you get it?"
He showed her his clean palm, looking exasperated.
"You… you can use ice-attribute Dou Qi like that?"
She blinked, stunned.
"Of course. Did you really think I stripped you naked, washed every inch of you, and then dressed you back in your dirty clothes? Do I look that stupid?"
He shot back coolly.
"But aren't you wind-attribute? Why…"
Realizing her misunderstanding, Yun Yun spoke in embarrassment.
"Because I'm a genius."
Xiao Jian raised both hands....one wrapped in dark icy mist, the other swirling with green wind.
Yun Yun's beautiful eyes widened, her lips parting in shock.
Dual attributes?!
Is that even possible?!
"My heavens…"
The longsword slipped from her fingers and clattered to the ground.
"Now that you're satisfied, go rest. When you're healed, leave."
Xiao Jian said flatly, sprinkling powder on his wound.
"I'm sorry… I really misunderstood you."
Yun Yun apologized softly.
It's fine. It's my fault for not actually stripping you and cleaning you head-to-toe.
Then you'd have every right to stab me.
Dou Emperors don't need a reason to kill a Dou Master anyway."
The first half made her blush.
The second half made her panic.
She hurried forward, eyes glistening.
"Don't be angry… it was my fault."
"How could I dare? You're a noble Dou Emperor.
Eating my food, using my medicine, wearing my clothes… and you even tried to kill me. Truly tyrannical.
All because I saved a beautiful woman."
Xiao Jian snorted.
Yun Yun grabbed his hand anxiously. Seeing the scabbed wound, and thinking of her own now-clean skin, her heart softened.
"Then use the medicine! Consider it purchased.
Once my Dou Qi recovers and I can open my ring, I'll pay you back!"
"Not selling. This tiny wound isn't worth wasting it on.
I was impulsive....sorry. Your suspicion wasn't unreasonable. I should've explained earlier."
He pulled his hand back and sat down.
Yun Yun's eyes misted further. She finally couldn't hold it in and let out a soft sob.
Hearing her cry made him tense. But earlier, when she pointed the sword at him, it awakened bitter memories....his clan's humiliation, Nalan Yanran's arrogance, and the threat that nearly took his life.
So he'd spoken harsher than he meant to.
If he was honest, he had grown fond of Yun Yun these past days.
But that moment of being threatened… he hated it.
Now hearing her quiet tears, his expression softened.
"Sigh… enough. Stop crying. I'm not mad anymore. I remembered something unpleasant and vented at you. Sorry."
He moved closer and gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"But let me say this clearly. I hate being threatened. Especially by someone I actually like. You can tease me, but don't ever take it seriously.
Even if you're a Dou Emperor, I'll catch up sooner or later.
Unless you kill me now, someday I'll be strong enough to get payback.
Though I wouldn't kill a beauty like you… I'd just make you give me seven or eight children."
Yun Yun, just relieved moments ago, blushed furiously and stared at him.
"You're bold for your age."
"You're the one who asked me to call you 'sister.' And tell me..what man wouldn't like a woman like you?
But with my current strength, 'liking you' is just a joke. A way to make Cloud-sister smile.
Give me three to five years, and you won't be able to beat me. Then you'll know how bold I really am."
He grinned.
Yun Yun let out a soft laugh. "Fine. I'll wait. But if you lose, you must promise me one thing."
"Deal."
He agreed instantly.
"Does your hand still hurt?"
She held his palm gently.
"How about I cut you once and you find out?"
"You dare!"
She glared adorably.
