Chapter 203: Chapter 65: The Bathing Adonis
Just as Yun Sheng was about to crash into the wall, sustaining serious injuries, a wide black robe swept by like a brushing leaf. Yun Shengâs body was gently caught by the robe, and she was now embraced fully in someoneâs arms.
Ye Beiming flicked his sleeve again, drawing the fighting spirit from Zhan Liâs strike into his sleeve.
Feeling an additional solid arm beneath her, Yun Shengâs heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked up, but alas she wasnât tall enough, only managing to see a perfectly curved chin.
Ye Beiming, who had turned thirteen this year, had a hint of stubble emerging on his chin, and his Adamâs apple was more pronounced.
Through the thin spring clothing, Yun Sheng could feel Ye Beimingâs steady heartbeat, powerful and rhythmic, making her head buzz.
Ye Beiming was also leaning over to look at Yun Sheng in his arms.
What caught his eye were a pair of dark eyes filled with surprise. Ye Beiming then realized that this female Mage from the Royal Magic Academy had a pair of beautiful eyes.
Since regaining his eyesight, Ye Beiming had seen many women â the concubines in the Great Zhou Palace, female warriors in the Martial Arts Hall, among them some extraordinary beauties like Chen Lianlian. However, no one had eyes as clear and profound as the woman in his embrace.
At the moment, in Ye Beimingâs view, Yun Shengâs eyes carried a hint of fear, like that of a startled fawn.
Ye Beimingâs intervention surprised his two good friends and his mentor, Vice Hall Director Zhan Li.
What scene was this?
Could it be that Ye Beiming suddenly changed his nature?
Cheng Bai was even more disgruntled, "Hey, Beiming, arenât your arms a bit too long? This heroic rescue should be my role, the role that fits a handsome and suave man like myself, right?"
Even those who knew Ye Beiming didnât understand the spectacle they had just witnessed, let alone Ye Beiming himself, who didnât understand why he acted on impulse.
The other person was just an unfamiliar stranger after all.
He was never one to pity or cherish the fairer sex.
"Ahem, I say Beiming, if you keep hugging her like that, Shangguan Tuo is going to croak," even Bu Jiuxiao found it hard to watch anymore and jokingly startled Ye Beiming back to reality and awakened others present as well.
Ye Beiming let go and stepped aside, still wearing a cool expression, but the tips of his ears were slightly red.
Vice Hall Director Zhan Li also watched the pair with a smile that wasnât quite a smile.
Hehe, Beiming, this kid, has finally gotten the clue. Zhan Li often complained that this disciple of his lacked charm and had never seen him blushing or feeling nervous. Today, he had gained quite an insight.
From the experience of someone who had been around the block, Zhan Li seemed to sense a rather unusual aroma in the air.
"Quite a stubborn girl. Fine then, I can unlock the Magic Lock for you, and I will also help to unlock those of your two companions. But you must cure Shangguan Tuo," Zhan Liâs earlier test had not made Yun Sheng submit, which was quite unexpected to him.
"I certainly wonât disappoint the Vice Hall Director," Yun Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, her goal accomplished.
Zhan Li was true to his word, and he immediately used his fighting spirit to unlock the Magic Lock on Yun Sheng.
With the Magic Lock gone, Yun Sheng immediately began the healing process.
"Please help me try these Beast Blood samples. I need to witness the Beast Blood Fusion process," Yun Sheng said after sniffing the sample she received.
Shangguan Tuo had attempted Beast Blood Fusion three times, and including this time, it would be four.
Earlier, when Ye Beiming stepped forward, Yun Sheng did not stop him because she knew Ye Beiming was robust.
The Beast Blood that even Shangguan Tuo couldnât contain was probably too much for most in Wuxuan Wuji Hall to handle.
Yet, Ye Beiming would be a suitable candidate.
What puzzled Yun Sheng, however, was the reaction of the people around when she suggested that Ye Beiming undergo Beast Blood Fusion â all exchanged bewildered looks.
Especially the expressions on Cheng Bai and Bu Jiuxiao were utterly peculiar.
Did she say something wrong?
"Whatâs the matter, canât you do it?" Yun Sheng glanced at Ye Beiming.
The latter remained silent, only giving her a meaningful look, "Of course I can, but I am not sure if you can."
"Not a problem at all," Yun Sheng said curiously.
"Ye Beiming, stop fussing. Someone, prepare the bath tub," Cheng Bai said with a grin, as Zhan Li shot him a warning look, and the boy immediately wilted.
Prepare... the bath tub.
A sense of foreboding immediately rose in Yun Shengâs heart.
Could it be that the so-called Beast Blood Fusion wasnât meant to be drunk directly?
Seeing a wooden tub filled with hot water brought over, Yun Sheng felt the hairs on her back stand up.
She finally understood what Ye Beiming meant with his previous question, "can you do it?"
On the Wuji Continent, Beast Blood Fusion referred to a bath infused with Beast Blood.
Those undergoing Beast Blood Fusion would soak in the hot water mixed with Beast Blood until it was completely absorbed by their bones and muscles.
Of course, this required the person undergoing the fusion to be completely undressed for the Beast Blood to fuse properly.
"Everyone else, please step out and leave Elder Zhang with her," Zhan Li certainly did not want to witness his disciple bathing.
Cheng Bai was reluctantly dragged out by Bu Jiuxiao.
Yun Sheng wailed inwardly, regretting her curiosity that had killed the cat; if she had known, she wouldnât have stood out to say anything about issues with the Beast Blood.
Ye Beiming stripped off his outer robe, revealing a silk-like white satin garment. He undressed with ease, while Yun Sheng was visibly uncomfortable.
Forget it, forget it, itâs not a loss, thereâs a free viewing of a handsome man bathing. Not everyone has this chance, Yun Sheng consoled herself incessantly.
Yun Sheng could only brace herself to watch.
The more Yun Sheng looked down, the more she inwardly praised, not expecting Ye Beiming to possess such an impressive figure.
No weirdness, just think of it as a body on a dissection table for observation!
Itâs a body indeed, but this one is rather aesthetically pleasing; indeed, such long legs, and the muscles seem rather tasty too.
Yun Sheng fully embraced her medical professionalism.
Perhaps noticing her unabashed gaze, Ye Beimingâs eyebrows slightly raised, a mischievous smile appeared on his lips, he suddenly quickened his movements, and in a flash, a robust male body was exposed in front of Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng almost choked, her little face reddened, whether from the steam or from Ye Beimingâs swift actions.
"Stop! Donât undress any further," Yun Sheng lost her composure.
"You start the fusion. Just tell me everything about your sensations. I will add the four types of Beast Blood in turn," Yun Sheng said grumpily.
Ye Beiming had only a thin pair of underpants left on his body which, soaked by water, was almost indistinguishable from being bare.
The Blood Cloud Beast Blood was extremely foul-smelling, and Ye Beiming frowned.
Outside the Medicine Hall, Cheng Bai the brat, still not knowing what was good for him, was sneakily leaning against the door, trying to peek at the situation inside. However, he could only see a misty room filled with ambiguous steam, giving him no clear view at all.
