Hearing Lin Yongming's words, Blue Silver Emperor let out a cold snort.

"Hmph! I'm ignoring you," Blue Silver Emperor said, turning around and walking into the village without even glancing at Lin Yongming.

"What's going on?" Lin Yongming scratched his head, puzzled.

"Ah Yin, wait for me! It's too dark, and I can't see. I might trip!" Lin Yongming called out, chasing after her.

To his surprise, Blue Silver Emperor stopped in her tracks.

"Heh! Does day or night make any difference to you?" Blue Silver Emperor said, rolling her eyes. Unfortunately, Lin Yongming couldn't see her exasperated expression.

"Ah Yin, I feel like you're upset today. What's wrong?" Lin Yongming asked, confused.

"Hmph! You've been with me for so long, and you've never given me a gift."

"But you gave something good to Bibi Dong instead of me!" Blue Silver Emperor said, clearly displeased.

"By the way, where did you even find that Soul-Severing Grass? You're so clueless. If you ever get chased by a powerful enemy, you could use it to confuse them or even make them lose their spirit power. It could save your life!" Blue Silver Emperor scolded him.

"So you're upset because I gave the Soul-Severing Grass to Bibi Dong?" Lin Yongming said with a wry smile.

It finally dawned on him that Blue Silver Emperor was jealous.

"Who said I'm upset? I'm not! Why would I be upset?" Blue Silver Emperor huffed, continuing to walk into the village.

"Is this what a jealous woman looks like?" Lin Yongming thought, feeling a headache coming on.

Despite having lived two lives, Lin Yongming had never been in a relationship before.

He also didn't know how to explain his actions to Blue Silver Emperor.

Should he tell her that he knew about Bibi Dong's future?

"Ah Yin, don't be mad. I just thought Bibi Dong might face dangers in Spirit City, so I gave her the Soul-Severing Grass. Besides, it wasn't even something I found. Wang Ming from Suoto City gave it to me. I thought it would be a good way to thank Bibi Dong for helping us deal with the Spirit Sage who was chasing us," Lin Yongming quickly explained.

"Really? That's all? No other intentions?" Blue Silver Emperor asked, her eyes narrowing suspiciously.

"Well… if there's another reason… it's to build a good relationship with her. In case we ever go to Spirit City, we'll have someone to rely on," Lin Yongming stammered.

"Fine. I'll forgive you," Blue Silver Emperor said, her tone softening.

"Really? Thank you for understanding!" Lin Yongming said with a relieved smile.

"But I have a condition. You have to give me a gift too, and it has to be better than what you gave her," Blue Silver Emperor said, turning her head slightly.

"Huh?" Lin Yongming was taken aback.

"What? You don't want to?" Blue Silver Emperor demanded.

"No, no! Of course, I do! With my luck, I'm sure I'll find something even better to give you."

"I believe we'll find something hundreds of times better than the Soul-Severing Grass," Lin Yongming assured her.

"You're such a braggart. Unless you find a legendary immortal herb, nothing will be hundreds of times better than the Soul-Severing Grass," Blue Silver Emperor said, pouting.

Still, hearing Lin Yongming's confident promise, she couldn't help but feel a little pleased.

"Ah Yin, are you still mad?" Lin Yongming asked, shaking her arm gently.

"Since you've made such a promise, I'll forgive you for now. Also, you smell terrible. Stop shaking me and go take a bath. It's almost time to sleep," Blue Silver Emperor said, wrinkling her nose in disgust.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Yongming nodded.

When they returned home, Lin Yongming's mother had already prepared hot water for him.

"Thank you, Mom!" Lin Yongming said gratefully before heading to the bathroom.

"Silly child, go ahead and wash up. I'll make your bed," Ying Lan said with a loving smile before leaving.

"I'm at level 37 now. With the Continental Elite Tournament in three years, it's about time to head to the Sunset Forest," Lin Yongming thought, reminded by Blue Silver Emperor's earlier words.

"I wonder if that Autumn Dew Immortal Grass can help me regain my sight," Lin Yongming mused.

He was also thinking about the herb that had helped Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes advance by a whole realm and enhance his mental power. Lin Yongming had been eyeing it for a while.

According to the cultivation method of the Wave Secret, he would be able to open his "Wisdom Eye" once he reached the mid-stage of the Lightning Chapter. However, Lin Yongming was still in the mid-stage of the Darkness Chapter and hadn't even reached the late stage yet.

Lin Yongming wasn't sure how many years it would take to reach the mid-stage of the Lightning Chapter, so since he knew about the immortal herbs, he wanted to regain his sight as soon as possible.

"I'll wait a bit longer. Once I reach level 39, I'll go. For now, I'll spend some time in the village with my parents," Lin Yongming thought. He knew that as time went on, he would have less and less time to spend in Thunderstorm Village.

After his bath, Ying Lan and Blue Silver Emperor had already made his bed.

Lin Yongming, wearing his pajamas, entered his bedroom to find Blue Silver Emperor already lying on her bed.

Blue Silver Emperor still shared the room with Lin Yongming, though they now had separate beds.

"Ah Yin, are you asleep?" Lin Yongming asked, hearing no movement.

"Not yet. I was waiting for you to turn off the lights," Blue Silver Emperor replied.

"Oh! Then I'll turn off the lights and sleep," Lin Yongming said, reaching for the switch by the door.

"Go ahead," Blue Silver Emperor said.

Lin Yongming turned off the lights and lay down on his bed.

The room was instantly plunged into darkness, and Lin Yongming's breathing gradually steadied. Soon, his mind began to drift.

Meanwhile, Blue Silver Emperor tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

"What exactly happened between those two? That girl clearly has feelings for Xiao Ming," Blue Silver Emperor thought, her curiosity about Lin Yongming and Bibi Dong's recent adventures keeping her awake.

"I need to hear Xiao Ming's story, or I won't be able to sleep," Blue Silver Emperor thought, unable to resist her curiosity.

"Xiao Ming, are you asleep?" Blue Silver Emperor whispered softly.

"Ah Yin, what's wrong?" Lin Yongming replied after a few seconds. Blue Silver Emperor had thought he was already asleep.

Lin Yongming, half-asleep, heard Blue Silver Emperor's voice and tried to clear his mind before responding.

"Xiao Ming, what happened during those days with her? Did you encounter any dangers?" Blue Silver Emperor asked directly.

"Ah Yin, how about I tell you tomorrow? It's not a short story, and it's too late now. I don't want to disturb Mom and Dad," Lin Yongming said helplessly.

"No! I'm too curious. I can't sleep. Just tell me a little bit, quietly," Blue Silver Emperor insisted.

"Uh… will you even hear me if I whisper?" Lin Yongming said, feeling even more helpless.

However, Blue Silver Emperor did something Lin Yongming didn't expect.

She threw off her blanket, got out of bed, and walked over to Lin Yongming's bed.

"Ah Yin… what are you doing?" Lin Yongming asked, confused.

"Of course, I'm here to listen to your story. Didn't you say I wouldn't hear you if you whispered? Now I can. Scoot over and make some room for me," Blue Silver Emperor said, pushing Lin Yongming gently.

"Ah Yin, there's no need for this. I'll tell you tomorrow," Lin Yongming said, feeling awkward.

"Who knows if you'll make up some story tonight and tell me a different one tomorrow?" Blue Silver Emperor said bluntly.

"Alright, alright. I'll tell you a little," Lin Yongming finally gave in.

"That's more like it!" Blue Silver Emperor said, slowly lying down beside Lin Yongming.

Lin Yongming caught a whiff of her natural fragrance as her soft body pressed against his. The bed was too small for two people, and Lin Yongming's back was already against the wall.

This was the first time the two had shared a bed, and for a moment, there was only silence.

"Xiao Ming, start talking," Blue Silver Emperor said softly, nudging Lin Yongming's arm.

"Ah Yin! It's too cramped. Maybe you should go back to your bed," Lin Yongming whispered weakly.

"Fine, I'll lie on my side, and you can lie flat. How's that?" Blue Silver Emperor said, turning to face Lin Yongming.

Her warm breath brushed against Lin Yongming's face as she spoke.

"Sigh… fine," Lin Yongming said, giving in. He lay flat on his back, his right arm pressed against the wall.

"Start talking," Blue Silver Emperor whispered.

"Alright."

"That day, I left the village in the morning and went to Wuer Town, where I met Bibi Dong and her group. There was even a Titled Douluo secretly following them."

"It was my first time seeing a Titled Douluo. I only found out about it in Suoto City," Lin Yongming began.

"A Titled Douluo!" Blue Silver Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes. After arriving in Wuer Town around ten in the morning, we headed to Suoto City. I shared a carriage with Bibi Dong, and we arrived in the afternoon."

"Why did she let you share a carriage with her? Isn't she the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall?" Blue Silver Emperor asked sharply.

"I asked her the same thing. She said that since I'm blind, she wanted to make sure we reached Suoto City before dark. So, I didn't refuse," Lin Yongming explained.

"Hmm, okay. Go on," Blue Silver Emperor said, suddenly wrapping her arms around Lin Yongming's left arm.

Lin Yongming could feel the softness of her body against his arm. "What's going on with Ah Yin? Why is she so close…"

"Uh… that afternoon, we arrived in Suoto City. The first thing we did was storm into the Spirit Hall and take control of Torres…" Lin Yongming tried to stay calm as he recounted the events.

Lin Yongming summarized some parts and also told Blue Silver Emperor about running into Flender again.

Their whispered conversation continued into the night, and as they talked, both grew drowsy. Lin Yongming's voice grew softer, and eventually, both storyteller and listener drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Blue Silver Emperor felt something heavy pressing down on her.

She opened her eyes to find herself nestled under Lin Yongming's chin.

Lin Yongming, still asleep, had an arm and a leg draped over her, holding her like a pillow.

"Ah! Let go of me!" Blue Silver Emperor's face turned bright red as she struggled to free herself from Lin Yongming's embrace.

"What? What's wrong?" Lin Yongming woke up with a start.

"What did you do to me last night? Why were you holding me like that?" Blue Silver Emperor demanded, jumping out of bed.

"I didn't do anything! We just fell asleep while I was telling you the story," Lin Yongming said, scratching his head in confusion.

"Oh… right. When did I even fall asleep?" Blue Silver Emperor said, rubbing her head as she tried to remember.

"I don't know either. I just remember feeling really sleepy while talking and then falling asleep," Lin Yongming said.

"Xiao Ming, Ah Yin, is everything okay?" Ying Lan appeared at the door and opened it.

"Ah Yin, why are your clothes so messy?" Ying Lan asked, looking at Blue Silver Emperor with concern.

"Ah!"

Blue Silver Emperor looked down at herself and quickly straightened her clothes.

"Auntie, I'm fine!" Blue Silver Emperor said, her face still red.

"Alright, as long as you're okay. It's almost time for breakfast, kids," Ying Lan said before closing the door.

"Ah Yin, what happened to your clothes?" Lin Yongming asked, curious about his mother's surprised tone.

"None of your business, kid!" Blue Silver Emperor glared at him, though Lin Yongming couldn't see it.

"Uh…" Lin Yongming was at a loss for words.

"Wait… was that soft pillow in my dream actually…" Lin Yongming suddenly realized something and quickly shook his head, not daring to think further.

"Hey, why are you shaking your head for no reason?" Blue Silver Emperor asked.

"It's nothing. Ah Yin, are you dressed? I need to get up and get dressed," Lin Yongming said, still under the covers in his pajamas.

"I'll go wash up first," Blue Silver Emperor said, leaving the room.

Blue Silver Emperor headed to the bathroom, where Ying Lan was also washing up.

"Ah Yin, did you two stay up late last night?" Ying Lan asked softly.

"Uh, I guess so," Blue Silver Emperor said awkwardly.

"Ah Yin, how old are you now?" Ying Lan asked quietly.

"I'll be fifteen after this year. Why do you ask, Auntie?" Blue Silver Emperor replied, puzzled.

"Ah Yin, your uncle and I both like you very much. We think you're a wonderful person."

"But you're almost fifteen, and Xiao Ming is only nine. He's still young and doesn't understand these things. Can you wait a few more years? Maybe until he's thirteen or fourteen?" Ying Lan said gently.

"Auntie, I don't understand what you're saying," Blue Silver Emperor said, embarrassed.

"I mean, Xiao Ming is still too young for… marital relations. Besides, you two should at least get engaged first," Ying Lan said with a smile.

"Marital relations! Engagement!" Blue Silver Emperor's face turned bright red as she exclaimed.

"Auntie, we didn't… it's not like that! You've misunderstood. I was just asking Xiao Ming about what happened the past few days, and we ended up falling asleep while talking," Blue Silver Emperor explained hurriedly.

"That's good. Although I'd love to have grandchildren, Xiao Ming is still too young. It would harm his health," Ying Lan said, patting Blue Silver Emperor's shoulder.

Blue Silver Emperor's face was as red as a tomato, and she couldn't find the words to respond.

"Alright, I won't say anymore. Your face is as red as a tomato. I'll go make breakfast," Ying Lan said, leaving the bathroom.

"This is such a big misunderstanding…" Blue Silver Emperor thought, looking at her flushed reflection in the washbasin.

After washing up, Blue Silver Emperor went outside to get some fresh air.
