"I'll listen to you …" Akatsuki wiped her tears and sobbed. "I'll do whatever you say."
Akatsuki's words made Ye Fan's heart ache.
If Akatsuki had refused, he would have felt better. However, Akatsuki had always listened to him no matter what.
This made him suddenly feel that he owed Akatsuki a lot.
He took out a white handkerchief and handed it to Akatsuki.
"Don't cry. Wipe your tears," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki. "After everything is over, you can come to the Great Ming Dynasty to look for me and go to the Lingyun Cave to play. I can also take Chiko to Dongying to see you. By then, you'll have learned how to ride the clouds. It will take at most two hours to travel from Dongying to the Great Ming Dynasty. "
"After you reunite with your wife, I won't see you again." Akatsuki took the white handkerchief from Ye Fan. She wiped her tears and said with red eyes, "You don't have to go to Dongying to see me. There's nothing to see. You'd better accompany your wife."
Ye Fan frowned when he heard this.
"You're saying this out of anger," Ye Fan turned his head and said.
"I'm not saying this out of anger." Akatsuki took a deep breath and said, "I look exactly like your wife. If she sees me, she'll definitely be suspicious. So, it's better not to see her so that she won't misunderstand. When that time comes, I might be preparing to get married and have my own family. So, no matter what, it's better if we don't meet in the future. "
"You're going to get married?" Ye Fan was shocked when he heard this. His heart skipped a beat.
"My master has a junior brother from the same sect. He has a disciple named Chiyoshi Yamamoto," Akatsuki said to Ye Fan. "He's always liked me and repeatedly begged my master to betroth me to him. Before coming to the Great Ming Dynasty, my master had already agreed to this marriage. He said that he would arrange for us to get married after I returned to Dongying from the Great Ming Dynasty …"
As Akatsuki spoke, tears fell like rain.
Ye Fan remained silent after hearing that.
He didn't expect Akatsuki to already be engaged.
This matter caught him off guard, as if he had been hit by a stick.
As to why he felt this way, he didn't know.
"Do you like that Chiyoshi Yamamoto?" After a long time, Ye Fan asked Akatsuki.
His question was simply nonsense.
He knew better than anyone else who Akatsuki liked.
"What do you think …" Akatsuki raised her head to look at Ye Fan and asked in a choked voice.
Ye Fan was silent again.
His heart was in a mess, and his mind was in a mess.
He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, his heart felt lost. It was as if it had suddenly become empty, and he wasn't as steady as before.
The two of them had their own thoughts and were silent. They could only hear the whistling of the wind in their ears.
After two hours, the Auspicious Clouds began to gradually enter the western region.
The temperature of the air had risen a lot compared to before.
The scorching sun above their heads shone a golden light on their bodies.
Although it was close to late autumn, the western region was still extremely hot.
In this region, there were no clouds other than the Auspicious Clouds under their feet.
Under their feet, a vast sea of sand rose and fell. It was a spectacular sight.
Above the sea of sand, a few yellow earthen cities stood alone.
The earthen cities blended in with the surrounding yellow sand. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see them.
"Look, there are clouds, there are clouds!" In the shadows of the city wall, a little boy wearing only a pair of homespun shorts inadvertently raised his head and saw Ye Fan's Auspicious Clouds. He hurriedly stood up and shouted.
This region was dry all year round and incomparably hot. Most of the time, the clouds would be blown away by the hot air before they could form.
Therefore, it was very rare to see clouds here, especially white clouds.
When the boy shouted, many people who were enjoying the shade at the base of the city wall raised their heads. They shaded their eyes with their hands and looked up at the sky.
"There's only one cloud, it won't rain." A man who had been tanned until his skin was shiny lowered his head and muttered.
The little boy still had his childish innocence. He madly ran toward Ye Fan's Auspicious Clouds. He only stopped when he couldn't catch up anymore.
"We should have entered the western region by now." Above the clouds, Ye Fan looked down at the vast expanse of yellow sand below and said.
"Yes." Akatsuki softly replied.
"Let's go down and take a look. We'll ask the people here if there are any volcanoes nearby and take a rest." Ye Fan looked at Akatsuki and said.
"Okay." Akatsuki replied.
She still hadn't gotten over what had just happened. Her eyes were still red.
Ye Fan flicked his sleeves and urged the Auspicious Clouds to slowly descend.
After a short while, the two of them landed in a deserted area beside an earthen city.
Phew …
Ye Fan had just withdrawn his mental force from the Auspicious Clouds when the Auspicious Clouds under his feet were instantly evaporated by the heat emitted from the sea of sand.
This place was too hot. It was even hotter than the Fire Dragon Town.
"Hmm …" As soon as Akatsuki's feet touched the ground, her brows furrowed and she moaned softly.
She was wearing thin-soled boots. The heat from the yellow sand instantly passed through the soles of her shoes and spread to her feet, causing her unbearable pain.
The sudden pain caused Akatsuki to instinctively activate her movement technique. Her feet were three inches off the ground.
"It's too hot here. Use your spiritual energy to protect your feet. Otherwise, you'll be scalded." Ye Fan shaded his eyes with his hands and looked around the earthen city in front of him.
"Okay." Akatsuki replied. She immediately laid down a layer of spiritual energy under her feet to isolate the heat from the soles of her shoes. Then, she slowly landed on the ground.
"Let's go to the city and ask around." Ye Fan said. He stepped on the yellow sand and walked toward the entrance of the earthen city not far away.
When they were in the Fire Dragon Town, he would use his cold energy to condense an ice canopy to shield Akatsuki from the scorching sun. However, he wouldn't do that this time.
Because he wanted to train Akatsuki's ability to survive.
Akatsuki took out a crystal mask from her bosom and put it on her face. Then, she followed closely behind Ye Fan.
Because Baihu couldn't stand the scorching sun, she plunged her head into Akatsuki's arms and refused to come out even if she was beaten to death.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, two people and one fox arrived at the entrance of the city.
The two soldiers guarding the gate hugged their spears and lazily leaned against the shadows in the corner of the city gate. They were constantly fanning themselves with the hats in their hands while chatting in a low voice.
In the shadows of the aisles in the earthen city, men and women of all ages sat there.
Their lips were dry and almost cracked. They sat there listlessly with lifeless eyes.
On their bodies, except for the key parts that were covered by coarse cloth, the rest of their skin was almost all exposed.
Ye Fan furrowed his brows at the sight of this.
It was the same desert and the same scorching sun. But Flaming Dragon Town was prosperous and the people lived in peace and contentment. But here, they lived in poverty and were miserable. It was almost a dead city.
Ye Fan thought in his heart and walked into the city.
The two people's clothes didn't attract anyone's attention.
They were hungry and thirsty, their mouths were dry, their faces were haggard, and they were skinny. It was good enough that they had the strength to breathe. How could they have the energy to look at other people's clothes?
Akatsuki was also shocked by the miserable scene here.
The miserable life of the people here was far beyond her imagination.
"Wuwuwu … Wuwuwu …"
The two people were walking on the street in shock. A low cry came from not far ahead.
It was a young and skinny woman who was crying. In her arms, she was holding a skinny baby.
The baby's eyes were closed. It looked less than one year old. The skin that was supposed to be rosy and tender was now dark and dry.
"Maisha … My Maisha … Wuwuwu …" The woman leaned the baby against her face and cried bitterly.
"Let's go take a look," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki as he quickened his pace and walked towards the woman.
Akatsuki nodded and followed closely behind.
"Miss, what happened to you?" Ye Fan came in front of the crying woman and asked as he squatted down.
"Maisha … My Maisha can't take it anymore … Wuwuwu …"
The woman raised her head and said to Ye Fan with tears in her eyes.
Obviously, the baby in her arms was called Maisha.
"What happened to the baby?" Ye Fan asked the woman.
"The baby hasn't drunk water for two days. She … she can't take it anymore …" The woman said as she cried.
Ye Fan frowned and gently placed his sword under the baby's nose.
The baby was still alive, but her breath was very weak.
"How's the baby?" Akatsuki bent down and asked Ye Fan anxiously.
"If we came a little later, the baby would have died," Ye Fan said with a frown and moved his sword away from the baby's nose.
"My two benefactors, do you have any water with you? Can you save my baby? I beg you, I can do anything for you … "The woman with the baby in her arms knelt on the ground and begged the two of them.
"We don't have any water with us, but we can save your baby. Get up, get up." Ye Fan helped the woman up.
"You … You can save my Maisha?" The woman asked Ye Fan in shock.
Ye Fan nodded.
Other than being malnourished, the baby was fine. She just lacked water.
As long as the baby was given some water, she would recover.
"Give me the baby," Ye Fan said to the woman.
The woman passed the baby to Ye Fan. She didn't quite understand.
Ye Fan carefully took the baby and held her in his arms.
He held the baby with his right arm and flipped his left hand. At the same time, he activated the ice core in his body.
Chi …
As cold smoke rose from Ye Fan's palm, a crystal clear ice block the size of a palm appeared in his hand out of thin air.
After the ice cube appeared, Ye Fan held it tightly and slowly placed it above the baby's lips.
Drip … drip …
The ice cube melted under the temperature of Ye Fan's palm and turned into crystal clear water droplets. Drop by drop, they dripped into the baby's cracked lips.
Phew …
While dripping water into the baby's mouth, Ye Fan gently blew on the baby's lips.
A thin white light came out of Ye Fan's mouth and flew into the baby's mouth.
He transferred a trace of energy from his body and blew it into the baby's body.
