Chapter 87: Middle Soul Sprite!!
With the end of the night came day. And the moment when the sunshine shined into the room, Bai Yunfei’s finger moved from its position on the bed and his eyes gradually began to open….
Slowly sitting up, Bai Yunfei looked over his own body for a moment before holding his right hand up to eyes. Studying it for a while, he seemed to be in looking at it pensively.
“That was too dangerous…. I didn’t think that uplifting myself a stage so crazily would result in this. I nearly lost my life just then. A technique to strengthen my soulforce like this may be a shortcut, but I can’t continue to use this in the future without fear of the consequences.” Thinking about his loss of control over the elemental fire and the unbearable pain it had brought, Bai Yunfei couldn’t help but feel some lingering fears on it. For that moment, he had truly thought that he was about to die then and there.
“It’s all thanks to big brother Hong Yin….without his help, then even if I saved my life, my life wouldn’t be as easy to become as strong as I desired. Would I even still be able to live on so carefreely?”
Bai Yunfei gave a look over on his body. The essence fireseed in his stomach was two times as big as it was the day before yesterday at around the size of a fist. It seemed to have wrapped around his heart and pulsated along with the rhythmic beat of his heart. Wisp after wisp of the elemental fire had flowed out with each beat and circulated along with his soulforce throughout his body. There was a surge of power that flooded his body, making him feel far stronger than he had ever felt.
“Middle Soul Sprite!!” Bai Yunfei’s eyes sparkled, “That whats-it called ‘fireseed spirit mushroom’ big brother Hong Yin gave me has such a miraculous effect! But, this also demonstrates the depths of his heart. I’m afraid this will be a hard favor to return…”
After a moment of thinking, Bai Yunfei sighed and gave up thinking about it. Getting down from the bed, he threw open the doors and walked out.
The clean air outside had assaulted his face, rousing his spirits quite high. At the same time as he walked out from his room, the neighboring room to his own gave a creaking sound before the doors opened and Hong Yin came walking out with a faint smile.
Bai Yunfei’s eyes flashed with emotions. He knew that Hong Yin had been worried for his wellbeing for sure by carefully paying attention to his situation.
Giving a nod to Hong Yin, Bai Yunfei spoke gratefully, “Big brother Hong Yin, it’s all thanks to you that I….”
“Haha, Yunfei, you speak as if we are strangers to each other, you don’t need to take this so seriously.” Hong Yin waved his hand dismissively at his words. “I saved you because you have made me believe it is worth it helping you. I know you will achieve many things in your future since you still have many secrets, isn’t that right?”
“That….” Bai Yunfei hesitated for a moment, unsure of how he should respond.
“Naturally, that is only my guess. You don’t need to tell me, but I think that you won’t disappoint me, correct?”
Bai Yunfei had looked a little embarrassed. After being silent for half a moment, he shook his head gently and spoke honestly to Hong Yin, “No matter the case, big brother Hong Yin saved my life this time. I will never forget this, I think that….”
“Eeeh? Big brother Yunfei’s fine! That’s great!” Just at that moment, an alarmed cry of joy could be heard from outside the courtyards. Turning around, Bai Yunfei could only see an emerald-green clothed Chu Yuhe come running towards him with a joyous expression. You Qingfeng, Mu Wanqing and even Qiu Luliu could be seen entering the courtyard behind her.
“Big brother Yunfei, are you okay? Are you completely better now?” Chu Yuhe scampered towards Bai Yunfei and asked question after question in concern.
Bai Yunfei looked at Chu Yuhe with a moved eye. When it came to this little girl, he didn’t have any idea on how to be a brother. It was only because of Mu Wanqing’s manipulations that he had carelessly recognized her to be his sworn sister. But Chu Yuhe had regarded him extremely highly and regarded him to be her actual older brother.
