Princess

The Blood Moon's light was not a pure red.

It was more like a thin veil suffused with crimson radiance.

Hazy.

Yet carrying a faint hint of danger.

Ye Qingxian grabbed my arm and sent some True Qi she had just cultivated into my meridians.

I already understood her intentions.

Tentatively, I exposed my little hand completely to the air.

In an instant.

Threads of red light drifted down.

Like countless stars falling in orderly rows from the sky.

Welcoming their own sovereign.

Within the span of a breath, the red light scattered nearby transformed into countless little stars, flashing and circling around me like innumerable children nestled in their mother's arms, possessing the purest hearts and innocence.

The change came too fast. Before Ye Qingxian could react, some of the red light in the surrounding area seemed to be drawn in and actually drifted beneath the eaves, into the shadows.

Thinking about it carefully, that was only natural.

Light traveled in straight lines, but it could not be absolutely blocked by a single corner. The red light refracted several times might have long existed around the two of us, except it had perhaps already been absorbed and radiated away by the ground, making it relatively less dangerous. Now, once drawn in, it was immediately activated and gently circled around Ye Xiaoyao.

"Junior Sister."

Ye Qingxian lowered her voice, afraid of startling the nearby motes of light.

"How do you feel?"

"Do you feel any discomfort?"

In fact, while Ye Qingxian spoke with relative calm, her own energy had already circulated through Junior Sister's body several times, examining it.

I had long sensed the warm energy flowing through my body.

I was merely letting Ye Qingxian observe.

"Not bad, I guess?" I put on a thoughtful expression.

"It's very warm."
