A Problem with His Constitution

Ye Fan walked over to Yang Fei. Looking at Ye Fan's serious expression, Yang Fei felt a little intimidated for some reason. "Ye Fan, did you need something?"

"That ancient text you showed me-the princess who married eighteen men-is she buried here?" Ye Fan asked.

Yang Fei's brow twitched, and he said awkwardly, "Ye Fan, what makes you think that?"

"Eighteen guardians!" Exactly eighteen secondary coffins surrounded a central coffin.

Yang Fei: "..."

"It matches the text you showed me perfectly," Ye Fan said.

Yang Fei stared at Ye Fan in alarm. They had not even entered the mountain yet. How could Ye Fan know? Could he see through things?

"Well, is she?" Ye Fan pressed.

"She is," Yang Fei said.

Ye Fan frowned. "Then we're in trouble. Judging by the script, the text you showed me dates back to the Han Dynasty. Does that mean this tomb is two thousand years old?"

Yang Fei: "..." Impressive! Sometimes this guy seemed like a genius, and sometimes he seemed like an idiot!

Ye Fan rubbed his chin. "If there are zombies in there, we'll be in trouble."

Yang Fei smiled. "It's all right. We have Master Zhang from Dragon Tiger Mountain with us."

Ye Fan glanced toward Zhang Wentao. "Right! Let him protect the rest of you. I only need to protect Bai Yunxi."

Yang Fei: "..."

Bai Yunxi sat beside the fire with an outer robe draped over him. Ye Fan sidled up and sat beside him. "Do you want to go down into the tomb?"

Bai Yunxi nodded. "Of course I'm going down. What else would I have come here for?"

Ye Fan blinked. "You can't go down."

"Why?" Bai Yunxi asked coolly.

"The tomb's owner was a lecher. She won't be able to control herself around someone as good-looking as you. Let those ugly guys go down," Ye Fan said.

Yang Fei: "..." Ugly guys? Who was Ye Fan calling ugly?

Bai Yunxi: "...A lecher? Like you?"

Ye Fan shook his head. "Not at all! I'm a perfect gentleman."

Bai Yunxi: "..."

"Want some candied hawthorn?" Ye Fan asked, taking out a skewer.

Bai Yunxi looked at Ye Fan's backpack with a curious expression. "Your backpack isn't big, but you've packed quite a lot into it!"

Ye Fan smiled without answering. He had placed two storage talismans inside the backpack. Although it looked as though he was taking things out of the bag, he was actually retrieving them from the storage talismans.

"My bag isn't big, but it holds a lot!"

Bai Yunxi: "...Give it to me."

"What?"

"The candied hawthorn!" Bai Yunxi said coldly.

Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "You want some?"

Bai Yunxi gave a soft snort, and Ye Fan had the sense to hand over the skewer.

Yang Fei watched Bai Yunxi with a peculiar expression. Bai Yunxi had always been so proud and aloof, yet he had actually accepted Ye Fan's candied hawthorn. Weird. This was just too weird.

As Ye Fan looked at Bai Yunxi, his expression grew slightly grave. Bai Yunxi looked back at him. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"How come you..." At first, Ye Fan had only noticed the heavy chill emanating from Bai Yunxi and identified his Ice Marrow Constitution. But now that he was closer and the sun had set, the yin energy around Bai Yunxi was growing stronger. Ye Fan felt that Bai Yunxi had more than just an Ice Marrow Constitution.

"A Heavenly Yin Constitution... Were you born in a yin year, a yin month, and a yin hour?" Ye Fan asked, lowering his voice.

On the Cultivation Continent, female cultivators with a Heavenly Yin Constitution were sought after by everyone. Many people stuck at the Foundation Establishment bottleneck had a thirty percent chance of breaking through to Golden Core simply by sleeping with someone who had a Heavenly Yin Constitution. That alone showed how valuable such female cultivators were.

Bai Yunxi glared fiercely at Ye Fan. He had been frail and sickly since childhood, so the Bai Family had naturally invited many people to examine him. When doctors could do nothing, they had also brought in occult practitioners, on the principle that it was better to believe than dismiss the possibility.

The masters they invited all gave different explanations. One said that he had been born in a yin year, a yin month, and a yin hour, giving him an innate Heavenly Yin Constitution. That master had even advised his grandfather to raise him as a girl, which had sent his grandfather into an absolute fury!

That practitioner had also said that many malicious occult practitioners specifically sought out people born at unusual times to turn them into evil magical artifacts or use them in sinister rituals. He had therefore told Bai Yunxi's grandfather to alter his recorded birth date and not casually tell anyone when he had been born.

"You're mistaken," Bai Yunxi said.

Ye Fan tilted his head. "I'm wrong? That shouldn't be possible!"

Bai Yunxi ate his candied hawthorn without answering.

Ye Fan looked at Bai Yunxi, blinking his eyes. "Do you want to sleep with me?"

Bai Yunxi slapped Ye Fan across the face. "Pervert!"

Ye Fan: "..."

Bai Yunxi gave a cold laugh and ducked into his tent.

Ye Fan rubbed his face, unable to help feeling a little dejected.
