Just as Ye Mo finished refining the True Energy Pill, Xiao Yuanshan came rushing in and said, “Hey, Ye Mo. Xiao Yue has already woken, and she says she wants to see you.”
“Yueyue? Alright, I’ll head over to her room right away,” Ye Mo said as he handed Xiao Yuanshan the pill. “This is the True Energy Pill. It’s already refined.”
“Wait, what? True Energy Pill? You really succeeded?” Xiao Yuanshen couldn’t hold his excitement. Shaking, he took the pill and could immediately feel the power coming from the pill with both markings and aroma.
“Well done, young lad. With your help, our Xiao Clan will definitely prosper! I’ll go and attempt the breakthrough right away!” Xiao Yuanshan was in his 40s and had been stuck in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm for quite a long time. With the True Energy Pill, he should be able to overcome his own limit easily.
Xiao Yuanshan was committed to his task. He ordered his whole clan to not disturb him during the training. He’d also intentionally left the True Energy Pill part out.
Ye Mo went and met with Xiao Yue, but Xiao Yue was cold towards him. It felt like it was the first time they met, even if Ye Mo had already been treating Xiao Yue as his own woman ever since she kissed him.
Ye Qin had told Ye Mo that if a girl took the initiative to kiss him, it meant the girl really liked him.
The night was dark as Ye Mo sat on the bed. He recalled the coldness from Xiao Yue and felt like something was off. Xiao Yue had told him a lot of weird stuff.
“I can’t stand it anymore! I have to go and ask what is going on! I think something big is about to happen,” Ye Mo said and jumped out of the window. He stood outside Xiao Yue’s room. The candle was still lit, so Ye Mo knocked on her door.
“Who is it?” Xiao Yue asked.
“It’s me, Ye Mo.”
“What do you want?” Xiao Yue asked in a cold voice.
“Aren’t you being a little cold towards me? You seem different…” Ye Mo said.
“Then how do you want me to treat you?”
Ye Mo stood outside the room, not knowing what to say. After a few seconds, he finally opened his mouth and said, “Have a good rest, Yueyue.”
Tears filled Xiao Yue’s eyes as she heard his footstep leaving. “You big idiot!”
Suddenly, the tattoo on her face began to move again, and Xiao Yue’s expressions changed. Her body began to shake as the curse spread throughout her body.
“Oh no! I can’t control the curse anymore!”
Xiao Yue rushed out her room. She wanted to leave the Xiao mansion and Limestone City. She wanted to find an empty land as far as possible, so then at least she could die knowing no one had to go down with her.
Xiao Yue took out a charm and summoned the Lion Statue. She jumped onto it and flew towards the Limestone City’s outskirt.
“Ye Mo, isn’t that Xiao Yue? It looks like her curse is going berserk again!” Ling’er shouted.
Ye Mo quickly looked towards the sky and sensed where Xiao Yue was.He used all 37 of his Dragon Energies and rushed towards her.
“I thought we had it under control!”
“The Phoenix Curse has its own will. The stronger we suppress it, the harder it will fight. I think Xiao Yue is trying to leave Limestone City to get as far away as possible so she can release the curse somewhere no one will get hurt.”
Xiao Yue would definitely die if she were to release the curse.
“Yueyue, is this why you were cold to me? I’m not letting you die!” Ye Mo face tightened as he increased his speed with Windward Dash which far surpassed the Lion Statue’s speed. In a few seconds, he stopped.
He kicked the ground and jumped towards the lion. He grabbed and pulled the lion as it began to fall. Xiao Yue noticed the lion’s changes, and she looked down and saw Ye Mo beneath the lion.
“Leave me alone! I hate you!” Xiao Yue screamed.
“Come down!”
He increased his strength, and the lion lost its balance. Xiao Yue fell from the lion but was caught by Ye Mo.
The curse was already rampaging throughout her body. Ye Mo noticed the green tattoo had expanded to her forehead, nose, eyes, and even her hands.
The night was lit by a full moon. Ye Mo landed on top of a mountain with Xiao Yue in his arms.
“Please, don’t look at me,” Xiao Yue begged as she tried to get away from him. Yet no matter how hard she tried, Ye Mo wouldn’t let her go.
“The curse is about to explode, I’m not going to leave you here alone!” Ye Mo hugged Xiao Yue. “I’ll stay by your side even if it means I’m going to die too!”
“Why are you so stupid? If you don’t leave me, you’ll really die!” Xiao Yue cried.
“I promised your father that I’d marry you once my name is known to all of Tianwu Kingdom! You cannot die before that!” Ye Mo said as he slid his hand towards Xiao Yue’s stomach, about to use the Rising Dragon Pillar.
“Wait, you idiot! If you use the Rising Dragon Pillar, you two will definitely die!” Ling’er shouted as she noticed Ye Mo’s intention.
“Did you really promise my father that? Don’t you hate how I look?” Xiao Yue stared at Ye Mo with her blue eyes.
Ye Mo did not say anything but replied with a deep kiss. The kiss meant that he wouldl always stay by her side. Both of them lost themselves in the romantic kiss.
Suddenly, a gust of wind howled as an immensely strong energy appeared.
“I never thought that I would meet the Phoenix Curse here!” A woman wearing green garments said. The woman floated in the sky and had her eyes locked on Xiao Yue and Ye Mo.
The woman soared with the wind. Her beauty was indescribable. As she floated in the fog-covered sky, it looked like a goddess was descending from heaven.
