Although Yi Yun had said that there was no need for Ji Shuiyan to serve him, Ji Shuiyan still insisted on serving him. Instead, her personal maidservant was sent to stand guard by the door.
Due to the cleaning of the residence, it was already late at night. A bright moon hung above the treetops, casting its moonlight into the hall. It was reflected by a few Lunar Divine Stones, illuminating the room.
Everything in the room seemed to be covered in a layer of silver sand. The spirit wine that was poured out of the flask was as mysterious as silver fragments.
And Ji Shuiyan, who was sitting quietly under the moonlight, was dressed lightly. She looked beautiful, giving off the feeling of a virgin under the moonlight. The people from the Divine Secrets Trading Company probably never imagined that their queen had such a beautiful and tranquil side to her.
"I'm done eating. There's no need to go to such lengths to prepare meals in the future."
Yi Yun truly felt that it was a waste of such spirit food. Using natural treasures to refine pills was much more effective than making spirit food. After all, the taste of spirit food had to be considered. How could it compare to pills?
The more precious the spirit food, the more medicinal essence would be wasted.
"Alright."
Ji Shuiyan responded softly as she continued kneeling beside Yi Yun.
She was wearing a light blue dress. The collar was not too high, revealing her porcelain-like neck and the faint ravine on her chest. Ji Shuiyan had an extremely voluptuous figure. The dress was completely propped up by her delicate breasts. As she was kneeling, the dress was pulled taut, perfectly outlining the curves of her tight buttocks.
While Yi Yun was eating, he could smell a faint fragrance lingering in his nostrils. Now that he saw Ji Shuiyan in such a state, he found it pleasing to the eye.
"Oh? Your face seems to have recovered. "
Yi Yun suddenly realized that although Ji Shuiyan was wearing a half-veil, the faint scar on her face had already vanished.
"Yes … Young Master has removed the slave worm from my body. The worm poison has been removed, so treating the scar on my face is much easier … Besides, the scar on my face was because I was often scratched. After so many times, I didn't want to treat it. But now … it's naturally different."
As Ji Shuiyan spoke, she took off her veil, revealing her beautiful face. In the night, she was like a dewy orchid that was silently blooming under the moon.
Yi Yun could not help but marvel at Ji Shuiyan's beauty. This made him inadvertently think of Lin Xintong. Regardless of anything, he had to find Lin Xintong first. However, the 12 Empyrean Heavens was so vast that finding a person was just too difficult.
He must first have the strength to travel across such a vast world.
Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun downed the wine in his hand and said, "I'm going to rest."
Yi Yun was staying in the Divine Secrets Trading Company's manor, so his room was naturally arranged by Ji Shuiyan. She nodded and led Yi Yun to a bedroom.
This bedroom occupied a large area, and there was a soft bed in the middle that could fit four or five people. In front of the bed was a carpet woven from the feathers of spirit birds, and around it were light gauze curtains. The decoration was exquisite and luxurious.
At that moment, the bed was already prepared. There were pillows and blankets made of Sky Worm Silk. There was even a spirit gathering array set up. The bed could be used to rest and also cultivate.
Ji Shuiyan's personal maidservant stood by the door. Ji Shuiyan personally spread out the blanket for Yi Yun, but she did not leave immediately. Instead, she looked at Yi Yun and bit her lips, hesitating to speak.
"What's the matter?" asked Yi Yun.
"Young Master Yi … Shuiyan would like to know how long Young Master Yi plans on staying in Jade Luster City?"
Ji Shuiyan asked the question that had been weighing on her heart. Ji Shuiyan knew very well that all her ruthless and decisive actions were built on the premise that Yi Yun could stay in the Divine Secrets Trading Company.
Now, Ji Shuiyan was feared by others because of her decisiveness and ruthlessness. No one dared to belittle her anymore. But once Yi Yun left, her cold-bloodedness and decisiveness would become a joke. Those that had been repressed by her in the past would launch a frenzied vengeance. Ji Shuiyan did not even dare imagine the outcome. She would definitely suffer endless humiliation and pain. Even death would be difficult.
Although Ji Shuiyan wished for Yi Yun to stay in the Divine Secrets Trading Company, she knew that Yi Yun was a person who focused on cultivation. What he pursued was the supreme martial path that stood high and mighty. He had no interest in the Divine Secrets Trading Company.
Under such circumstances, Yi Yun being able to stay in Jade Luster City for a period of time was already a great favor to Ji Shuiyan. As for Ji Shuiyan, how could she expect Yi Yun to help her without any compensation?
"Not for the time being. It could be as long as a year or as short as a few months … "
How could Yi Yun not know what was on Ji Shuiyan's mind? However, it was impossible for him to stay in Jade Luster City forever. The situation here was too small. Yi Yun had stayed behind for the Yang spirit and natural treasures, but finding the Yang spirit depended entirely on fate. If he could not find it in a year, how could he stay?
"You don't have to worry too much about the Heaven Amplification Trading Company. When I leave, I will help you resolve this problem."
"Thank you, Young Master Yi …" Ji Shuiyan said softly. She knew very well that in Sun Burial Sandsea, there was no way to protect her family business without the strength. Even without the Heaven Amplification Trading Company, the Divine Secrets Trading Company would eventually be annexed by other factions.
And with only a few months to a year, it was too difficult to nurture experts loyal to her.
Ji Shuiyan did not say any of this out loud. She knew that Yi Yun had done enough for the Divine Secrets Trading Company.
"Miss Shuiyan, is there anything else?"
Yi Yun was already prepared to rest. Ji Shuiyan helped him lay out the blankets, but she did not leave. As Ji Shuiyan kept her head lowered, from above, one could see the alluring sight of her chest extending downwards. It was a sight that stirred one's imagination.
Yi Yun only paused for a moment before he retracted his gaze.
Ji Shuiyan's face blushed slightly. She wanted to say something but ultimately did not say it.
After a moment of silence, Ji Shuiyan said, "Young Master Yi, I am indebted to you for giving me a new lease on life. I do not know how to repay you. Unfortunately, what I value the most might not be what you like. However, I have a Heaven Secrets Compass with me. It should be able to help you."
As Ji Shuiyan spoke, she took out a jade box from her interspatial ring. When she opened it, there was a gray metallic disk inside.
In the middle of the metallic disk was a Taiji Yin-Yang symbol. There were complicated runic patterns around it, making it look ancient and mystical.
"This is …"
Yi Yun picked up the Heaven Secrets Compass. It was rather heavy in his hand. He did not know what material it was made of.
Ji Shuiyan said, "Back when Grandfather left the Heaven Secrets Chapter, he brought a mother-child Heaven Secrets Compass with him. It can be used to search for treasures. Later, when the phenomenon in Sun Burial Sandsea appeared, Grandfather took the mother disk in search of the Yang spirit. He never returned and the mother Heaven Secrets Compass was lost in Sun Burial Sandsea along with Grandfather. What remains in Shuiyan's hand is this Heaven Secrets Compass. "
