Chapter 59
After she passed out, Xiao Yueyin dreamt of a gigantic dragon that overlooks the infinite universes. Its pitch-black scales devoured all colors of cosmic life. A flap of its wings caused solar systems to shift and stars to realign. With a single thought, it jumped from one dimension to the next in a blink of an eye. A swipe of its destructive claws fold the space into itself an impossible number of times.
Its colossal figure struck a chord in her heart. The blood in her body boiled and even though she was unconscious, she felt a change in her physique. It was a change that made her less human. Sounds of popping came from within her body. Fortunately, she wasn’t awake during this process otherwise she would’ve been in unimaginable pain.
The sound eventually stopped. If Xiao Yueyin was capable of inspecting herself right now, she would've been shocked! Her bones and blood showed signs of atavism! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she was currently more dragon than human!
After an unknown amount of time.
Xiao Yueyin snapped open her eyes and sat up while gasping for air.
“Huff, huff.”
A sharp pain struck her aching body caused by the sudden movement.
“What happened…?”
She looked around with a confused expression. She was sitting on a white platform that seems to be floating in the sky. Several thick clouds peacefully drifted by. Oddly enough, they seem to be everywhere but nowhere near the platform she was on.
Currently, Xiao Yueyin was no longer in her dragon form. Unknowingly she had at some point reverted to normal. The black-purple dress she was wearing had a large hole in the back caused by the release of her wings. From the shoulder blades down to her slim waist, Xiao Yueyin’s lily-white skin was fully revealed.
Clenching her head, she groaned.
“That voice… Incessant Void? An innate ability…”
She closed her eyes and felt the surroundings. For some reason it seemed like her affinity to space had strengthened to another level! If she wanted, she could easily manipulate the space around her.
Just as she was enjoying this feeling, a voice came from behind her.
“Well looks who’s up.”
She swiftly turned her head around and saw a familiar tall figure standing before her.
With her bare back in his line of sight, he flashed a mysterious smile while he looked at her up and down with appreciative eyes.
Xiao Yueyin noticed his odd gaze but she was too distracted to care. She silently observed this young man in front of her.
His waist-long hair was slicked back with a few strands out of place hanging over his eyes. He wore a loosely tied black robe that partially displayed his toned chest while also highlighting his broad shoulders. With sword-like eyebrows, perfect facial features, and an extraordinary otherworldly aura, Xiao Yueyin found it hard to look away.
“Sigh, the struggle… to be treated like a piece of meat everywhere I go. Hey, I know I’m handsome but stop trying to seduce me and clothe yourself. It’ll take more than that to win me over.”
Ji Xian chuckled while crouching down to meet her at eye level.
Xiao Yueyin instantly became cold and indifferent. Her eyes narrowed into a slit as she stared at him. She clenched her hand into a fist.
“You… liar!”
Unable to control her anger, she sent out a left hook, aiming straight for his face! The space rippled as her arm shot forward.
“Quiet down.”
Ji Xian easily caught her fist. The impact created a fierce wind that made their clothes violently flutter.
Xiao Yueyin tried to pull back her hand but discovered it was tightly held within his grip.
“Let go of me!”
“Calm down.”
“…”
She stopped struggling but was still staring daggers at him.
“You’re a liar.” She said coldly. “You never showed up.”
“Hmm, I think I prefer the word procrastinator.” Ji Xian joked as he stood up. “What are you angry about? I was planning to go there eventually.”
“You-!“
“Here, wear this.”
Ji Xian took out a black robe and threw it at her.
Xiao Yueyin caught it. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow, unsure of his intentions. Noticing his odd expression, she instinctively glanced downwards before letting out a cute cry.
The dress she was wearing was on the verge of falling apart and there were holes everywhere! By some miracle, it was only barely holding on to her body thanks to a persistent thread wrapping around her exposed slender arm.
Her exchange with Ji Xian earlier must’ve worsened the condition of her dress and shredded it even more, turning it into rags!
A thought suddenly came to her. From where he was standing earlier, Ji Xian must've gotten a perfect look at her body!
Xiao Yueyin’s face instantly turned bright red. She was too caught up in her anger earlier so she hadn’t noticed. She lifted her head and took a peek at Ji Xian. She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that at some point, he’d already turned his back to her and walked away.
She quickly waved her hand to produce a barrier.
Not long after, it dissipated into countless particles revealing Xiao Yueyin in the black robe. It was clearly too big for her, but it matched her quite well.
It even made Xiao Yueyin look a little tomboyish, and with her being in an all-black getup, along with her black hair and cold black eyes, she downright looked unfriendly and unapproachable! But this would only make any man want to pursue her even more!
Xiao Yueyin shyly inspected the robe. This was the first time she wore another man’s clothes. It still had Ji Xian’s scent! But she had to admit, it felt comfortable. She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of material it was made from.
It smells really nice…
Her cheeks glowed with a pinkish hue as she shook her head, quickly ridding herself of the thought.
As she looked ahead, she saw Ji Xian silently standing before another familiar figure that she failed to notice before.
Naturally, it’s Xia Lihua!
She was sitting crossed-legged on the platform with her eyebrows clenched together. Her white dress was drenched from sweat causing it to wrap tightly around her body.
Xiao Yueyin was mesmerized by Xia Lihua’s flawless figure. She appeared next to Ji Xian and asked, “What’s she doing?”
“You wouldn’t understand.” He shook his head.
Xiao Yueyin frowned, feeling a little offended.
Annoying…idiot!
