Yueye's Predicament, System's New Choice

For the next few days, Xuan Ye spent his time in the Moonlight Cultivation Room.

The various hidden injuries within his body were recovering at an astonishing speed, aided by the abundant energy and Moon Soul Crystals.

Every day, the sisters Yue Chen and Yue Xing would punctually deliver various medicinal herbs for healing.

At first, Xuan Ye felt a bit awkward having the two young girls apply ointment to him.

But he knew that if these hidden injuries were not eradicated, they would surely affect his future potential. Compared to awkwardness...

Long Xingyu...

That name flashed through his mind.

In the end, Xuan Ye tacitly allowed them to help.

Although the two sisters maintained their indifferent attitude, their movements were extremely meticulous.

When their fingertips touched Xuan Ye's skin and they carefully sensed the situation within his body, expressions of shock appeared on their identical young faces.

The internal injuries in his body were terrifyingly numerous.

Old wounds layered upon each other, and his meridians had blockages and cracks of varying degrees everywhere.

It was hard to imagine that he had killed those two Fifth Tier Devil Race members with such a broken body.

"Yue Xing... Xuan Ye seems to be in a really bad state..."

"Yue Chen, Xuan Ye is pitiful... and very hardworking."

The girls' voices came faintly. Perhaps it was because the Moon Demon Race Territory was too safe, Xuan Ye closed his eyes slightly and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Warm medicinal liquid soaked his body, and mist carrying the fresh scent of herbs rose from the wooden tub.

Xuan Ye closed his eyes, feeling the comfort spreading through his limbs and bones.

These past few days, the Sister Flowers Yue Chen and Yue Xing were no longer just applying ointment to him.

They would prepare a whole tub of precious medicinal bath and personally wash his body, rubbing the medicinal power into every inch of his skin.

Their movements were gentle and professional. Their fingertips, as they brushed across his skin, carried a slight coolness but always accurately found the blockages hidden deep within his meridians.

The initial awkwardness had long since vanished, replaced by pure enjoyment.

Amidst the swirling mist, he heard the sisters' very soft conversation.

"...The injuries on his body are even more severe than we imagined."

Yue Chen's voice was very light, drifting in the misty water vapor.

"Mhm." Yue Xing responded, her voice equally low.

Their snow-white arms reached into the medicinal liquid, their fingertips gently stroking Xuan Ye's back, allowing the medicinal power to penetrate.

They were a pair of flawless hands, slender, fair, with nails trimmed round and neat, as if carved from the finest mutton-fat jade. At this moment, these hands were meticulously cleaning his body, their movements focused and serious.

The unique fragrance of girls mingled with the scent of herbs, swirling around their noses.

Xuan Ye closed his eyes, clearly feeling the sensation of their fingertips brushing against his skin with each stroke. It was cool, yet carried a strange force, precisely pressing on every congested meridian.

"At his age, his strength is already close to Fifth Tier, and he could even kill two demons of the same rank..." Yue Chen's voice held a hint of confusion, and a trace of admiration she herself hadn't noticed, "How... how did he cultivate?"

"How else could he have cultivated?" Yue Xing's voice carried a hint of indifference, but beneath the indifference, there was a slight waver, "He traded his life for it."

He had suffered a great deal.

The girls were not heartless, and moreover, the child in the bathtub truly possessed the helplessness and pain of the Princess when she was young...

Xuan Ye did not open his eyes.

He quietly enjoyed this rare tranquility, and the gentleness hidden beneath the coldness.

Mainly... he was too embarrassed to make any moves.

Although he thought about it, he had indeed faced death countless times in these three months, but to be praised like this, in a nearly naked state, facing these two peerless twins.

So awkward...

In a daze, Xuan Ye lay in the bathtub and heard voices again.

Outside the room, a sudden clamor erupted, along with angry, suppressed shouts.

"Get out of the way!"

A rough male voice rang out, full of impatience.

"Yue Chen, Yue Xing, I know you don't like this Human Hybrid either! Don't get in the way here!"

"He is a guest of the Princess Royal." Yue Chen's voice was calm.

"A guest? A traitor who caused our Moon Demon Race to become a laughingstock is worthy of being the Princess's guest?" Another sharp voice chimed in, "We're going to teach him a lesson today! The Princess Royal won't know!"

"Don't you hate him? Stop pretending! Hurry up and get out of the way!"

Outside the door, Yue Chen and Yue Xing said nothing more.

Xuan Ye's brow furrowed slightly, and he was about to get up.

"Ah--!"

"My hand!"

A few short, sharp screams suddenly rang out, then stopped instantly.

Everything returned to silence.

A moment later, the door was gently pushed open.

Yue Chen and Yue Xing walked in, their expressions unchanged.

"Xuan Ye, do you need anything?" Yue Chen asked, bowing.

Xuan Ye looked at them, silent for a moment, then spoke.

His voice carried a hint of embarrassment.

"Sister Yueye, for my sake, did you... bear a lot of pressure?"

Yue Xing pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Yue Chen, however, raised her head, her purple pupils calmly fixing on him, and nodded.

"Yes."

"To save you, the Princess Royal suspended all caravan affairs under her management."

"Nearly half of the trade routes between our Moon Demon Race and the Human Race have been interrupted, and the clan's finances have been greatly affected."

"Many elders have been complaining privately. The Undead Demon Race has also been putting pressure on the clan."

A sense of guilt arose spontaneously.

Xuan Ye looked at the twin sisters before him and asked softly.

"What about you... what do you think?"

Yue Xing's eyelashes trembled slightly.

A flicker of emotion appeared in Yue Chen's eyes as well.

But in the end, they did not answer, merely bowed silently, and turned to leave the room.

Xuan Ye sat alone in the cultivation room, lost in thought.

In truth, they didn't need to answer at all.

The answer was already written in their actions.

The terrifying internal and external injuries he sustained could not have recovered to about eighty percent in just a few days solely through the effects of the Moonlight Cultivation Room and Moon Soul Crystals.

It was more because of the meticulous care and affection from those who looked after him.

If not for that, how would they have discovered the old injuries hidden deep within his meridians? How would they have patiently used medicinal power to cleanse them for him again and again?

Words could be faked, but genuine concern from the heart could not deceive.

"I feel like..."

"I owe them a great debt."

Xuan Ye covered his head. The Chen Xing Sisters seemed to have left in a hurry just now. Today, he wouldn't have to suffer, and could change his clothes himself.

Just then, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding! God-Tier Choice System has been activated.]

[Detected Host's current situation, initiating choice.]

[Choice 1: Leave quietly. Repay the Moon Demon Race's kindness another day. Go out alone, hunt demons, and improve strength. Reward: Innate Dark Inner Spiritual Power +0.2, Revenge Evolution progress +1%.]

[Choice 2: Continue recuperating. Recover here with peace of mind, leaving everything to Yueye to handle. Reward: Moon Soul Crystal x3, Revenge Evolution progress +1%.]

[Choice 3: Step forward. When Yueye, Yue Chen, and Yue Xing are questioned by the Moon Demon Race's Elder Council, alleviate their pressure. Reward: Innate Dark Inner Spiritual Power +1.5, Revenge Evolution progress +10%.]

Xuan Ye stared at the three options on the light screen, stunned.

"This time... I guess you're a little useful, System."
