Look, you misunderstood again.
“Look at you, you’ve misunderstood again. I just wanted to check your wounds.”
Lin Xingyun, however, maintained his composure, embracing her to stop her.
“When you were little, Qin Yiren dug out your bone, and in the Secret Realm, I was forced to dig out your Supreme Bone a second time.”
“Actually, I’ve always been worried, afraid this would bring up painful memories for you.”
“How are the wounds? Do they still hurt?”
He showed a look of guilt, sighing while stopping his actions.
Qin Diyao was stunned for a long while, lowering her small face, her expression complex as she said,
“My… my wounds healed a long time ago…”
“This time it’s not like when I was little; the wounds… actually don’t hurt…”
Lin Xingyun was thoughtful; this time, she had triggered the Nirvana Heavenly Venerate Dao Fruit within her body, which directly restored her entire physique to a perfect state, so naturally, there was no pain.
“So, it hurt a lot when you were little?”
He asked casually, and Qin Diyao nodded.
“Yes, I was ignorant back then. I just remember my heart hurting every day, to the point where I couldn’t move. My parents tried everything, but could only barely help me alleviate it…”
“It only slowly got better when I grew a little older…”
As Qin Diyao spoke, her small face was filled with sorrow and melancholy.
Lin Xingyun, seeing this, couldn’t help but feel a little pity.
With a sweep of his arms, he scooped Qin Diyao’s petite body entirely into his embrace, leaning close to her ear and playfully saying,
“Yaoyao, don’t be sad.”
“The suffering you’ve endured, Qin Yiren will repay tenfold, a hundredfold in the future.”
“When the time comes, we’ll capture him and tie him up, first dig out his Supreme Bone, then plant a dog bone in, and after a while, dig it out again, and plant another one in…”
“We’ll just keep digging and digging on his body, how does that sound to you?”
“Pfft—”
“You… you’re such a pervert! You’re rotten from head to toe!”
Qin Diyao couldn’t help but let out a light laugh, playfully patting Lin Xingyun as she scolded him.
Yet, a hint of emotion showed in her clear eyes, as if Lin Xingyun’s words were quite comforting.
She even forgot to struggle out of his embrace.
“Hmm?!”
However, the next moment, she suddenly tensed all over, her hairs standing on end.
Because her pair of fluffy cat ears were suddenly grasped in Lin Xingyun’s palm.
“Yaoyao, this part of you is really sensitive.”
“Tsk tsk, in a battle, having such a weakness is a major taboo.”
Lin Xingyun smiled playfully, continuously stroking the soft, fluffy cat ears.
“Hmph! Don’t you look down on me!”
“Just a pair of ears, I can retract them anytime, and if it were a real fight, even if they were cut off, I wouldn’t even frown!”
Qin Diyao gritted her teeth, enduring the strange sensations on her tail, and indignantly said to Lin Xingyun.
She didn’t retract her ears at this moment either.
She seemed stubbornly determined to prove that she was not affected at all.
“Oh? It seems you’ve truly been in many battles.”
“By the way, you mentioned to Aunt Shen earlier that you provoked someone in the Underworld Sea, which caused Aunt Shen to be poisoned by coldness?”
Lin Xingyun continued to knead her ears while curiously asking.
The Underworld Sea is one of the five forbidden zones in the Immortal Realm.
It’s a vast expanse of black water, stretching for millions of miles, seemingly endless.
Within it are countless yin souls, capable of dragging down and killing all passing living beings.
In the deepest part of the Underworld Sea, it is rumored that powerful Emperor-level experts from ancient times have sealed themselves within.
They are known to the world as forbidden existences, and no one has ever dared to provoke their majesty!
“That was four years ago. I ventured into the Underworld Sea to collect a spiritual material, but unexpectedly encountered two Forbidden Zone Imperial Sons, and they targeted me.”
“After severely injuring them, their Dao Protectors were actually drawn out, so I had no choice but to summon Aunt Shen to save me.”
“The opposing side had two Great Sages. Aunt Shen fought two against one, and it was with great difficulty that she managed to bring me out of the Underworld Sea.”
“But because of that, she was afflicted by the cold poison one of them inflicted, and it has been difficult to heal ever since…”
Recalling the scene at that time, Qin Diyao still felt some regret and self-blame.
She felt that she had implicated Aunt Shen.
