The Rogue of Otherworldly Skies

  What hurt Yuan Ye the most was that one time. Yuan Ye walked into the house and saw Rui Xi changing clothes, coughing... actually changing underwear and wrapping her chest, Rui Xi only had these two pieces on her body, Yuan Ye's nosebleed immediately flowed out. What was even more painful was that Rui Xi saw Yuan Ye bleeding, didn't even have time to put on the wrapping cloth, immediately walked up to support Yuan Ye and asked him questions. After supporting Yuan Ye to the bed, she held onto him, looking at him with concern, her eyes clear and transparent, but the twin peaks on her chest were shaking, Yuan Ye lying on the bed looked again, even more nosebleed flowed out continuously, unending. That day was Yuan Ye's only time not going out for training, because he lost too much blood. Even his little brother rebelled, he didn't want to hurt Rui Xi, so he punched him, but his brother was listless for half a day, also didn't have the spirit to go kill monsters.

  "Yuan Ye, you've run deep into the Beast Domain again." At this time, Rui Guangde's voice suddenly came.

  "Uncle Rui, I've taken care of all the powerful magical beasts around this area, so we can only search deeper. And don't worry, the place I'm going to isn't that deep." Yuan Ye explained with a smile.

  "Be more careful, go back and change the dressing later. Your last injury hasn't fully healed yet, you can't fight this frequently." Rui Guangde said as he left by himself.

  "Yong gege, I'll help you change the dressing." Rui Xi walked forward and pulled on Yuan Yong's arm. Yuan Yong followed along.

  As he entered the inner room, Yuan Ye took off his clothes, revealing scars and claw marks of various depths and ages. Most of these wounds were self-inflicted by Yuan Ye. Initially, when fighting against monsters of the same level, Yuan Ye would first injure them before engaging in close combat on the ground. Humans fought monsters with sharp weapons, agile movements, and exquisite swordsmanship. If they were to engage in hand-to-hand combat without any protection, it would be a dead-end road. The monster's sharp teeth could end everything by biting into one's neck, and their sharp claws were not something human palms could withstand. Therefore, even someone as strong as Yuan Ye had to severely injure the monster before engaging in close combat. As the number of close combats increased, Yuan Ye's ability to engage in hand-to-hand combat grew stronger, and his overall strength improved simultaneously. Now, when facing monsters of the same level, Yuan Ye could win without injuring them first, even if he chose to engage in direct close combat.

  Yuan Ye was doing this to train his close combat skills. The strongest in close combat were the magical beasts, and fighting them would undoubtedly be the best way to improve oneself. If one could defeat a magical beast in close combat, then defeating a human would be no problem. Yuan Ye had already reached this level. With Yuan Ye's current abilities, defeating a fourth-level martial general should not be a problem, but dealing with a fifth-level martial marshal would be too difficult. However, if he could get close to the marshal and engage in close combat, Yuan Ye was confident that he could emerge victorious. In a normal battle, Yuan Ye could hold his own against someone one level higher than him, but in close combat, he could take on someone two levels higher!

  Yuan Ye's second reason for seeking suffering was to cultivate the Demon-Sealing Sword Technique. Apart from swordsmanship, physical training was crucial in the first part of Inverse Snow's Demon-Sealing Sword Technique. This was why Yuan Ye would wear cotton clothes and run while punching during the hottest summer days, not only to train his physical strength but also to increase his tolerance for heat. Similarly, he wouldn't wear clothes outside in winter to build up his resistance to cold temperatures. Now, Yuan Ye intentionally inflicted injuries on himself to cultivate his ability to endure pain.

  The more wounds one has received, the stronger their healing ability naturally becomes. At the same time, the more pain one has endured, the next time they are injured, their tolerance will also be stronger. In the same way, a warrior who is wounded every day and a martial artist who has never been wounded before are not on the same level; the latter is simply no match for the former.

  Ni Tian Xue is extremely powerful, but there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The cultivation of Ni Tian Xue is destined to be one hundred times more bitter than ordinary techniques.

  After applying the medicine, Yuan Ye felt that many of his scars were itching a bit. He turned around to see Rui Xi with tears streaming down her face.

  "What's wrong, Little Xi?" Yuan Ye gently wiped away Rui Xi's tears and asked.

  "Brother Yao, how come you get hurt every day? We've been here for so long and haven't left with so many scars."

  "Huh?" Yuan Ye's heart warmed up and he smiled: "This is a man's medal, and it will be fine sooner or later."

  Rui Xi gently stroked the scar on Yuan Ye's chest, her small hands trembling slightly, and suddenly buried her head in Yuan Ye's arms, her heartbeat also becoming more intense.

  "Hehe," Yuan Ye smiled, also hugging Rui Xi, "Little Xi, I think you and Uncle Rui are just good at hunting, your archery skills are very accurate, but in the future when we enter the human world, relying solely on archery won't be enough. Let me teach you a set of martial arts."

  The sexy beauty in his arms shook her head.

  "What's wrong, don't you want to learn?"

  "Dad says everyone outside is bad, I don't want to go out. As long as brother Yang tells me stories about the outside world, that's enough."

  "Fool, outside there are bad people and good people. Look at me, I'm from the outside, am I bad? ... That... I know you think I'm not bad, but actually my reputation is not good on the outside." Yuan Ye smiled helplessly.

  Rui Guangde must have had a reason for hiding out here, he just never said anything about it. Rui Xi was instilled with the idea that the outside world is terrifying from a young age by his father, so it's only natural that he has a sense of fear towards the outside world.

  "In short, you're such a beautiful and stunning girl, yet so innocent and clueless, it's like you're an alien. Outside, not to mention royalty and nobles, even the so-called 'emperors' would be dreaming of marrying you day and night. Of course, with me around, they don't stand a chance. If you go out with me, having a beauty like you by my side, I'd feel pretty impressive myself."

  Rui Xi's face turned bright red as she swayed back and forth in Yuan Ye's arms, saying in a soft voice, "Then... then Father and Brother Ye can go to the human world, I'll go too."

  "Haha, okay, to be honest with you, I'm planning to venture a bit deeper. A cool guy like me will definitely encounter some rare treasures and bring them back for us three to cultivate and become stronger. Once we're strong enough, your dad will definitely agree to let us go out. I can tell that there are people outside who your dad hates, and he's hiding here because his opponents are too powerful, not someone your dad can handle."

  "No way, it's very dangerous inside." Rui Xi was shocked and couldn't help but pull Yuan Ye's hand tightly.

  "Don't worry, don't worry. Look at me, I've been deep in the beast domain for so many days, and every time I come back victorious. Just rest assured. But whatever you do, don't tell your dad, he'll definitely disagree." Yuan Ye instructed very seriously.

  Actually, Yuan Ye can only deceive Rui Xi, this little girl. These days he has been deep into the Beast Domain, but just a little deeper, still wandering around the periphery of the Beast Domain, without any powerful magical beasts. To get the heavenly material and treasure, one must definitely go deep into the interior of the Beast Domain.

  It's said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. In the past month, Yuan Ye has been injured frequently, but overall, things have gone too smoothly for him, and he wins every battle. This has also made Yuan Ye more daring. Most importantly, Yuan Ye always thinks he's very handsome, and handsome people have no reason to be unlucky, they must be able to find the best treasures. Although sometimes he also thinks he's the most unfortunate person in the world.

  When his injuries had almost healed, Yuan Ye brought enough medicine to treat scratches and bites, as well as antidotes and poisons, fire starters, bows and arrows, etc., without telling Rui Guangde, he walked alone on the treasure-hunting road.
