She steadfastly stood with her pride. That strong determination did not match her external appearance, and she nearly never accepted the help of others.
She was after all a human. Never once had a person really entered her inner world. But now, in Yi Yun’s arms, she inexplicable felt it. She never expected that to have someone accompany her and, to help her when she was in despair, would be really blissful.
“You are awake… ”
Yi Yun had been looking forward to Lin Xintong waking up. But when she really woke up, Yi Yun felt extremely embarrassed. He did not know how to explain such an explicit scene to her.
Seeing Yi Yun’s reaction, Lin Xintong smiled gently.
She felt that the pure Yang energy emitted from Yi Yun’s body seemed to resonate faintly with the pure Yin energy in her body. There was an integrative balance, which made her feel reluctant to separate from Yi Yun.
Pure Yin and pure Yang were complementary existences in the laws of the world.
Lone Yin did not lead to birth and solitude Yang did not allow growth. It was a natural thing for Yin and Yang to integrate with each other.
This also caused Yi Yun and Lin Xintong to feel an innate appeal with one another. If they could become one, the Yin and Yang Yuan Qi would resonate, giving infinite benefits to the two of them.
Ignoring intercourse cultivation, just them being in skin contact made them feel nourished by the other’s Yuan Qi. In Lin Xintong’s Yin Meridians, there was a warmth spreading throughout them, causing the frost Qi in her body to dissipate greatly. As for Yi Yun, he felt his Radiant Sun Qi become even more compact. Even a faint Golden Crow phantom image appeared behind him.
The two of them looked into each other’s’ eyes. Lin Xintong’s gaze became more and more gentle.
Thinking back to the experiences she and Yi Yun encountered, she was filled with emotion.
Who would have thought that the Cloud Wilderness youth she had met back then had taken step after step to reach this point and this very scene today?
From meeting in the Cloud Wilderness, to reuniting in the Lin family’s mountain range, to the Desolate Heaven technique tea session and then that night’s banquet and relic trial…
Finally, it was this expedition to the Great Empress trial.
Lin Xintong realized that her feelings for Yi Yun had changed in a silent fashion…
This change made Lin Xintong panic in the beginning, but slowly, she calmed down.
She was a very independent and obstinate girl. Although she was indifferent, once she had a firm belief, she would face all obstacles head on with her original intentions.
She never regretted things that she had set her mind to.
The two of them did not speak much. But in this lonely and cold world, they hugged each other tightly, warming each other.
The martial path was lonely. It was a source of great happiness if one found a confidant.
