Yun Sheng was supporting Ye Beiming, Yun Sheng being petite, while Ye Beiming tall and stately. In the remaining light of the twilight sun, they looked both conspicuous and harmonious. Yun Sheng hadn’t expected that in a moment of impulse, she would recognize her father, Yun Bahe. She always thought that the word ’impulse’ was not applicable to her. Feeling the intense gaze from above, Yun Sheng’s ears reddened, and she pushed Ye Beiming away. This dead fox, does he have no sense of propriety between men and women? It was like that earlier in Banana Leaf Village, and it’s still the same after such a long time apart. But just as Yun Sheng was about to push Ye Beiming away, she heard him cry out. "It hurts so much," Ye Beiming moaned, seemingly in pain. "Did it pull at your wound?" Yun Sheng frowned, the Fighting Energy Tiger summoned by Yun Bahe had been formidable. Ye Beiming saved her without any defense, and took the strike with his flesh and blood. He was wounded because of her, and as they were still standing on the street, it wasn’t suitable for Yun Sheng to check his wounds there. After thinking it through, she again supported Ye Beiming back to the Martial Arts Hall. Back in the Martial Arts Hall’s Medicine Hall, Yun Sheng took off Ye Beiming’s clothes, revealing a hideous wound on his back, deep enough to see the bone, extending across his entire back. Normally, with Ye Beiming’s constitution, a wound would not trouble him too much, but beneath that wound, Yun Sheng also noticed several old scars. New wounds on top of old ones, the situation didn’t look optimistic anymore. "Who told you to rush out to save me without even signalling, what do you think you are, Lei Feng?" Yun Sheng said irritably, she naturally disliked owing favors to anyone, and now with Ye Beiming’s action, what could she use to repay him! "What is Lei Feng?" Ye Beiming glanced at Yun Sheng, his eyes slightly squinted, his posture resembling a lazy leopard, his handsome thick eyebrows slightly raised, "You are a woman, it wouldn’t look good with scars." His voice was low and magnetic, Yun Sheng skipped a heartbeat when he said that, "Whether it looks good or not is my business!" "It is my business too, and only mine to care about. After all, in the future, I’m the only one who will see," These nearly unreasonable words, spoken from Ye Beiming’s mouth, carried a hint of intimacy. The narrow Medicine Hall suddenly felt significantly warmer because of Ye Beiming’s words. Yun Sheng had seen Ye Beiming undressing before, but compared to two years ago, Ye Beiming had fully grown into a man. His skin shone with a metallic luster, typical of an ancient bronze color, his muscles robust and toned, and the various new and old scars on his body signaled that he was no longer the lonely teenager from the Banana Leaf Village. "Stop talking nonsense, turn around, I need to see the wound," Yun Sheng felt irritated and disturbed. Ye Beiming obediently turned his body around, only Yun Sheng could make the imposing Emperor Beiming behave as meek as a little lamb. "Why didn’t you recognize me?" At the tavern, although Yun Sheng briefly explained everything that happened over the past two years, between the lines, Ye Beiming couldn’t help but feel heartache over how she, a mere child back then, faced her father’s illness and the expulsion from Martial Saint General Mansion. Granted, he already knew when he was in Banana Leaf Village that Little Wildcat had a strong character. But, after all, she was just a child. "Who knew you were also in Yujing; besides, you and I have no ties of kinship," Yun Sheng pouted. "I once said that once your eyes were cured, I would become your servant," Ye Beiming suddenly turned around, catching Yun Sheng’s hand that was applying the medicine. His rapidly beating heart, through his skin, transmitted right down to the deepest part of Yun Sheng’s heart. Servant?! Is this guy not joking? If Yun Sheng remembers correctly, servants originally came from Penglai Country. To help Summoners grow better, Penglai Country provides each Summoner with a servant, who may either be a skilled Martial Artist or a powerful Mage. These servants would protect their Summoner for their entire life. Ye Beiming said he wanted to be her servant, which might be possible if he were still that young boy from the Magic Temple. But now, his identity is none other than the Emperor Beiming of Dazhou. "You want to be my servant, but have you gotten approval from the Emperor of Great Zhou? Don’t forget, I’m not the beloved daughter of the Yun Residence, I’m just an ordinary Mage," Yun Sheng said self-deprecatingly. Having spent several years in Wuji Continent, she became quite familiar with it. Compared to the modern world, Wuji Continent has a very strong sense of hierarchy and class, especially in marriages, where matching social status is crucial, not to mention the noble bloodline of the Great Zhou Imperial Family. Today, her complete break with Yun Bahe also meant severing her ties with the Yun Residence, making Ye Beiming’s offer to be her servant seem like a joke to her. "It has nothing to do with the Emperor of Great Zhou whether I am someone’s servant or not," Ye Beiming was very dissatisfied with Yun Sheng’s reaction. Considering that, as Beiming King, his popularity had been high in Great Zhou ever since his eyesight had been restored. He was lowering his status to request to be this woman’s servant, yet her reaction was as if she had just swallowed a fly in disgust. "I don’t agree, I have Little Black and Bo Bo, I need no one’s protection. Besides, you already saved me once today; we’re even," Yun Sheng, now a Scepter Summoner, had unblocked three Qi Meridians, even owning Summoning Demon Hand, capable of summoning a Domain-Level Ant King that could obliterate a city. She certainly didn’t need any servants. "Little Wildcat, the more you try to disassociate from this king, the more you can’t keep your distance from me. I want to be your servant not just to keep my promise, but also because we need to be together," Ye Beiming, annoyed by Yun Sheng’s displeased expression, couldn’t help but tease her. "What do you mean?" Yun Sheng warily increased her distance from Ye Beiming. Being too close to this man, his strong masculine aura made her feel like her breathing and heartbeat were becoming irregular. In her previous life, the pain that Liu Minglang brought her was too profound; in this life, she did not want to experience that kind of pain again. As a Prince, Ye Beiming was destined to be a man second only to none, with his outstanding appearance and exceptional talents bound to attract countless women. Yun Sheng neither wished, nor wanted to be just another among his numerous conquests. "Because, you stole my Magic Soul," and my heart, Ye Beiming curled his lips enticingly, revealing a provocative smile. He abruptly extended his arms and pulled Yun Sheng into a close embrace. Different from the bony, weak girl of years past, the current Yun Sheng, due to her practice of Marrow Jade Technique and increased Magic Cultivation, had grown significantly taller and fuller. Holding her felt very satisfying, and Ye Beiming grew fond of this feeling in an instant. A surge of Magic Elements from his body quickly seeped into Yun Sheng’s body. Yun Sheng felt her Magic Soul activate as if summoned, becoming rapidly more active. A "Ding--" sound echoed, accompanied by music akin to that of the heavens. The entire Medicine Hall was filled with multicolored light. Within the light, the Five-colored Magic Souls from both Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming appeared simultaneously.
