Chapter 284: Healing Gu Yuena's Injuries
But that was also what she didn't understand. Everything was hidden so well, so why did he tell her? Was he trying to break off their relationship?
Hearing Qian Renxue's question, Bai Yu raised his hand and wiped away her tears, softly saying:
“I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but this wasn't intentional; it was just a natural progression.”
“If you found out, I would go with the flow and admit it. If you didn't, I wouldn't bring it up.”
“As for why, it's simply because I didn't want to keep it from you. Although Bibi Dong and I got together due to an accident,”
“no matter how accidental, our relationship is real. If I kept it from you, my heart wouldn’t be at ease.”
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Qian Renxue sneered, opened her eyes, and looked at Bai Yu with icy coldness.
“Heh heh, your heart isn't at ease? What about me? What do you expect me to do? From now on, how am I supposed to face you and Bibi Dong?”
“Wouldn't it have been better to keep it from me? Why did you have to let me know? Bai Yu, you truly deserve to die! I really want to kill you right now!”
As Qian Renxue spoke, tears flowed down her face again. Her heart was filled with confusion, not knowing how to face this matter.
To say she hated him wasn't quite right, but to say she didn't hate him, she didn't know what to do.
So at this moment, she truly wished she could go back in time, for Bai Yu to have kept it from her. As long as she didn't know about this, she wouldn't have to feel so miserable.
Bai Yu sighed, a touch of helplessness in his eyes. If possible, he didn't want to cause these troubles.
But such things couldn't be hidden. As the time they spent together grew longer, Qian Renxue would eventually find out.
Rather than waiting for her to discover it and get stuck in a rut, it was better to make everything clear early on. That way, if anything happened, Bai Yu would still have some control.
However, he couldn't answer Qian Renxue's question at this moment, because Qian Renxue herself could understand the reason for doing so.
As for anything else, he didn't know what to say. Sorry? But if sorry worked, then what would the enforcement team be for?
So, Bai Yu just held Qian Renxue tightly by her waist, remaining silent.
After a while, Qian Renxue stood up from Bai Yu's embrace, walking towards the direction of the bedchamber, saying as she walked:
“You should leave now. Let me calm down by myself.”
Bai Yu looked at Qian Renxue's retreating figure, sighed in annoyance, poured a cup of tea, and drank it directly.
With Qian Renxue's personality, if she said she wanted to calm down by herself, it was definitely true; she wouldn't play any games of feigned indifference.
So, Bai Yu truly didn't dare to follow her now. If he messed things up, it would be over.
Afterward, Bai Yu sat in the back garden for half a day and a night, until he sensed that Qian Renxue's emotions had gradually stabilized and she had fallen asleep, only then did he get up and leave.
...
Not far from Shrek Academy, in Gu Yuena's small courtyard, Bai Yu sat in the pavilion, looking melancholic, listening to Zi Ji constantly strumming her terribly played zither.
Gu Yuena looked at Bai Yu, who seemed paralyzed, with a strange expression.
“What's wrong with you? Are your injuries still not healed? That shouldn't be the case. You've clearly broken through to Level 100 and condensed divine force. Did something go wrong?”
Hearing Gu Yuena's question, Bai Yu shook his head, about to speak, but before he could, Zi Ji, who was beside him, put down her zither and said gleefully:
“Master, what could possibly happen to him? With his current strength, who else on Douluo Star could cause him trouble besides you?”
“Now that this guy has become like this, it must be because he has too many women, and there's trouble in his backyard!”
Bai Yu's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes fiercely at Zi Ji, secretly cursing this airhead for guessing so accurately.
Then Bai Yu straightened up and turned to look at Gu Yuena.
“Never mind my business, let’s talk about yours. How are your injuries recovering? I happen to have time now, so I can go and resolve your injuries.”
“Although the divine force and laws of Asura are troublesome, with my current strength, it shouldn't take too long.”
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Gu Yuena's expression became serious, and she frowned, saying:
“In these past few years, with the cultivation method you gave me, the speed of erosion has indeed increased significantly. It’s just a pity that my comprehension of Yin and Yang energy is a bit lacking.”
“Otherwise, I could have resolved it myself without your help.”
A hint of thought flashed in Bai Yu's eyes when he heard Gu Yuena's words.
Logically speaking, Gu Yuena controlled multiple elemental powers, including light and darkness. By analogy, it shouldn't be difficult for her to master Yin and Yang energy.
But despite saying that, no matter how she practiced, the result was always just a little off, always a layer of membrane away from mastering Yin and Yang energy.
“I suspect it’s not that you can’t learn it, but rather that you are currently only half of the Dragon God, due to the lack of the Golden Dragon King’s origin.”
“But it doesn’t matter. It’s the same if I help you. Let’s go to Life Lake. The sooner we treat it, the sooner it ends.”
Bai Yu stood up, stretched, and then called out to Gu Yuena, asking her to take him to Life Lake to heal her injuries.
Seeing Bai Yu's actions, Gu Yuena smiled, waved her hand to open a spatial rift, and said as she walked:
“Are you just leaving like that? Not saying goodbye to your girlfriends?”
“Although your current strength is good, expelling Asura's power for me won't take too short a time; it will require at least two or three months.”
Bai Yu waved his hand, thinking of his women, and said with a slight headache:
“They’re all either gone home or visiting. I can’t even find them now, so where would I say goodbye?”
“Let’s just go quickly. I left a message for them at Shrek Academy. When they return, they’ll naturally know what I went to do.”
Then, amidst Gu Yuena's laughter and Zi Ji's teasing, Bai Yu quickly passed through the spatial passage and arrived at the bottom of Life Lake.
When Bai Yu saw Gu Yuena’s true form again, he noticed that the wound on her leg had indeed shrunk a little.
It seemed that in these years, she hadn't just been simply using her avatar to drink tea and shop in Heaven Dou City; Gu Yuena had been very diligent about her injuries.
After Gu Yuena and Zi Ji also arrived, Bai Yu spoke:
“I’m going to start. Gu Yuena, you should cooperate with me. Together, we’ll be faster.”
Gu Yuena nodded and walked to the front of her true form. As she got closer to her true form, her body became more and more ethereal, finally merging directly into the enormous dragon body.
Seeing Gu Yuena's actions, Bai Yu didn't delay either. He walked to the hind leg of the silver giant dragon, raised his hand and pressed it on, then shouted in a low voice.
“Yin and Yang unite, all things are born!”
