"Brother Tian, Brother Tian, are you asleep? I need to see you, it's urgent!" Ye Feifei called from outside the door, her voice tinged with anxiety.
Ye Tian knew Ye Feifei wouldn't come to his room personally unless it was something important. She was a very reserved woman and wouldn't do anything to damage her reputation.
He hurriedly opened the door and asked, "Feifei, what are you doing here so late? Is something urgent?"
"Brother Tian, I heard someone came into your room just now? Is that true?" Ye Feifei asked, looking at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian's heart skipped a beat. 'Ye Shixue just left. How does she already know? Should I tell her the truth? If she finds out Ye Shixue came to see me, will she be heartbroken?'
Ye Tian struggled internally. After a few breaths, he said, "Ye Shixue was here earlier. Since the family martial arts tournament is tomorrow, she came over to have a drink with me and offer some encouragement. Is there a problem?"
Ye Tian had thought it over before speaking. He was very clear about Ye Feifei's feelings for him.
He didn't want to deceive her, not even a little. Right now, the only woman in Ye Tian's heart was Ye Feifei. Their feelings were forged between life and death, an emotion etched into his very soul. It was nothing like the feelings for Ye Shixue, which could be casually abandoned. The two couldn't even be compared.
Hearing Ye Tian tell her the truth made Ye Feifei very happy. At least it proved that he cared about her and that she held a place in his heart.
"Brother Tian, there was something wrong with the wine Ye Shixue gave you. How do you feel now? Do you feel weak all over?" Ye Feifei asked urgently.
Ye Tian looked at Ye Feifei, completely bewildered, not understanding why she would say such a thing. He slowly circulated the Dragon Spiritual Power in his body, letting it flow through his meridians. After a moment, he felt no discomfort.
"Feifei, I'm fine. Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Ye Tian asked.
Hearing Ye Tian say this, Ye Feifei also found it strange. 'Could it be that Ye Shixue secretly swapped out the wine? Or does Brother Tian just have an incredibly strong constitution?' Thinking of Ye Tian's terrifying Recovery Power, she realized the latter was a possibility.
"Well, if you're fine, then never mind. I was probably wrong! Brother Tian, you should get some rest. I'll be waiting for you to become the family's number one tomorrow!" Ye Feifei said.
Seeing Ye Feifei about to leave, Ye Tian felt a pang of reluctance. It had been so long since they were alone together, and he missed her dearly.
"Feifei!" Ye Tian called out softly. Unable to help himself, he stepped forward, grabbed her delicate hand, and gently pulled her closer.
As Ye Tian suddenly grabbed her hand, Ye Feifei's face flushed hot, and her heart began to race uncontrollably. For a moment, her mind went completely blank.
Ye Feifei didn't resist. The two stood there at the doorway, quietly embracing.
After a moment, Ye Tian gently pushed her away. "Alright, you should go back now. I'm really fine. I'll see you tomorrow!"
In truth, Ye Tian had many more things he wanted to say to Ye Feifei, but he couldn't say another word right now. The Pure Yang Qi had flared up.
"Brother Tian, you get some rest too! See you tomorrow!" After speaking, she turned and left quickly. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she might not be able to control herself, even before Ye Tian made a move.
After watching Ye Feifei leave, Ye Tian hurried back inside and shut the door. His forehead was already covered in sweat, and even his clothes were soaked. His whole body felt like it was on fire; it was excruciatingly uncomfortable.
He remembered the Divine Dragon Remnant Soul had told him about the solutions for when the Pure Yang Qi appeared. The best method, of course, was to find a woman to release the heat from his body.
The only candidate right now was naturally Ye Feifei. However, Ye Tian didn't want to engage in that kind of behavior with her just yet. He wanted to wait until he had the Patriarch's complete approval before taking that step with her. It was the least he could do to show his respect.
Ye Tian sat down in his room and quietly circulated his Dragon Spiritual Power, trying to suppress and absorb the surging Pure Yang Qi. But the more he circulated it, the more agitated he felt.
"No, this isn't working. I have to lower my body temperature!" Ye Tian muttered to himself.
He immediately stood up, opened the door, and rushed out. He clearly remembered there was a deep well on the east side of the estate. The well water was very cold, which was exactly what he needed right now.
Executing the Flowing Cloud Step, he ran to the deep well at top speed and, without a second thought, jumped right in.
If anyone had seen this, they would have been shocked speechless. 'Is there something wrong with Ye Tian's head? Jumping into a well in the middle of the night... does he not want to live anymore?'
Ye Tian didn't think about any of that. All he knew was that he had to suppress the Pure Yang Qi as quickly as possible. The feeling was unbearable, even worse than having several wounds cut deep enough to reveal the bone.
He had forcefully endured it on the way here, even biting his lip until it bled, but he hadn't felt the slightest pain.
After jumping into the deep well, the bone-chilling water instantly lessened the burning sensation in his body. But he soon realized something very important.
He was completely submerged in the deep well, and his feet couldn't touch the bottom. He could manage for a little while, but if he stayed too long, he would drown here even if the Pure Yang Qi didn't kill him.
He hadn't considered this problem when he jumped in. The shock of the icy water made him realize it instantly. This was a life-threatening situation; he had to find a way to get out.
Ye Tian flailed his arms in the water. He looked at the well wall and saw it was incredibly smooth. Getting out would be extremely difficult. For a moment, he cursed himself for being so impulsive and acting without thinking about the consequences.
After the shock, he discovered that the Pure Yang Qi in his body had vanished without a trace. His mind was clear now, but the danger of not being able to get out filled him with unease.
'Kid, you really are a blockhead. You don't even know a Light Body Technique. I will now teach you the simplest one. Remember it well!' Suddenly, the voice of the Divine Dragon Remnant Soul echoed in his mind.
To Ye Tian, this voice was like the sound of heaven. With the Divine Dragon Remnant Soul here, he naturally wouldn't be in danger. And if he really was, he could always call for Elder Qing. Ye Tian believed Elder Qing would appear before him in an instant.
Suddenly, golden characters appeared in his mind. These characters were the Light Body Technique the Divine Dragon Remnant Soul was teaching him, and at this most critical moment, Ye Tian committed it all to memory…
