Chapter 221: It's So Tasty~~
"Sister Yun, what are you doing here?" Su Bingxin exclaimed in surprise.
Standing before her was none other than Yin Yun, wearing a gorgeous red robe with some golden embroidery.
Her hair was elegantly styled, adorned with delicate hairpins that shimmered under the sunlight and perfectly accentuated her porcelain skin.
Yin Yun smiled warmly and replied, "Hello, Sister Bingxin. I have come to visit you and see how you have been doing."
"Oh, and I also have something for you! Is Brother Tian here too?"
Yin Yun's smile was radiant, and her eyes sparkled with genuine joy. Su Bingxin couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort seeing the girl in front of her.
"Come on, let me in!" Yin Yun said, stepping forward and entering the house before Su Bingxin could react.
Su Bingxin watched as Yin Yun happily walked inside the house.
'This girl is really something,' Su Bingxin thought to herself. It was hard to find someone as pleasant and lively as Yin Yun.
With a sigh of hopelessness, Su Bingxin closed the door behind her and led Yin Yun to the living room, where she settled down on the couch.
Su Bingxin decided to make some tea for Yin Yun. She went into the kitchen, found her favorite tea leaves, and boiled some water in a kettle.
As the water heated up, a comforting aroma filled the air.
Su Bingxin carefully brewed the tea and poured it into two delicate teacups.
She brought the cups out to the living room and placed one in front of Yin Yun.
"Here you go," she said with a warm smile.
Yin Yun took a sip of the tea and exclaimed, "This is delicious! Thank you, Sister Bingxin."
"You're welcome," Su Bingxin replied with a smile. "I'm glad you like it."
After enjoying their tea shortly after Su Bingxin told her that Chen Tian was out on a mission and wasn't home, Su Bingxin opened her mouth to ask Yin Yun about her sudden visit.
After what happened yesterday, Su Bingxin believed that Yin Yun would try to stay away from her and Chen Tian so as not to get them into trouble.
"Did something happen, Sister Yun?" Su Bingxin asked, her curiosity piqued.
Yin Yun smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Hehe! Yes, I have something for you, sister Bingxin," she exclaimed.
"Tadaaaa!" Yin Yun reached into her storage ring and pulled out a small, shimmering nine crystals bracelet.
Su Bingxin's eyes widened in amazement at the beautiful bracelet. It was unlike anything she had ever seen before.
The bracelet was adorned with intricate silver filigree and embedded with tiny, glistening gemstones that seemed to change color with every movement.
Su Bingxin couldn't help but reach out and touch the bracelet, feeling the coolness of the crystals against her fingertips. "Where did you get this?" she asked, her voice filled with awe.
No woman could resist the allure of such exquisite jewelry.
Yin Yun smiled mischievously and replied, "This bracelet is a Grade 4 defensive treasure. It possesses powerful protective properties, able to shield its wearer from any attack below the Nascent Soul Realm; even if a Core Formation Realm cultivator were to attack, this bracelet could block the attack." Yin Yun explained.
Su Bingxin's eyes widened in amazement, realizing the true value and rarity of the bracelet.
"Sister Bingxin, please take this bracelet," Yin Yun said, her voice filled with sincerity.
"What! No, I can't accept such a thing!" Su Bingxin stammered. "It's too valuable; I couldn't possibly..." But Yin Yun gently placed the bracelet in Su Bingxin's hand, her eyes filled with warmth and genuine affection.
"Please, Sister Bingxin, I've put both of you and Brother Chen Tian in danger by giving you this bracelet. It will protect you from any potential harm in the future," Yin Yun insisted.
Yin Yun's eyes glistened with tears as she continued, "Because of my status, I don't have friends that I can truly trust, but you and Brother Chen Tian have always been kind to me. In these couple of months on that ship, I have come to see you both as precious friends. I can't just watch if something happens to both of you." Yin Yun's voice trembled with emotion.
Su Bingxin had a worried glance, sensing the urgency in Yin Yun's words. They had formed a bond during their time on the ship. Su Bingxin enjoyed the company of Yin Yun as she also didn't have any friends and was new to such feelings.
Su Bingxin understood the feeling of loneliness and the fear of losing the only companions she had found.
She couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to Chen Tian, either.
Su Bingxin hesitated for a moment, overcome with gratitude and surprise.
She had never expected Yin Yun to offer her such a precious item; she wanted to refuse, but seeing the girl's face, that was going to cry.
With a trembling hand, she reached out and accepted the bracelet.
"Sigh… Thank you so much, Yin Yun," Su Bingxin finally said, her voice filled with emotion.
Yin Yun smiled warmly, her eyes shining with happiness. The tears that had once threatened to fall were now replaced with a sense of joy.
"Yes, Sister Bingxin, you should keep it. It's a token of our friendship and a way for me to apologize for making me fall into this mess," Yin Yun said sincerely.
Su Bingxin's heart softened upon hearing Yin Yun's words.
"You don't have to apologize for anything, Yin Yun. It wasn't your fault," Su Bingxin replied, her voice filled with reassurance.
Yin Yun's eyes welled up with tears again, but this time they were tears of gratitude. "Thank you for understanding, Sister Bingxin," Yin Yun said, her voice choked with emotion.
"Grrrrr!!!!"
Yin Yun's face turned red in embarrassment as her stomach let out a loud growl. Su Bingxin couldn't help but burst into laughter, breaking the emotional tension in the room. "It looks like someone's hungry," she teased, playfully nudging Yin Yun.
Yin Yun was deeply embarrassed by the loud growl of her stomach, but she couldn't help it; it wasn't her fault she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday.
After what happened yesterday and knowing that she put Chen Tian and Su Bingxin in a difficult position, Yin Yun couldn't bring herself to eat.
She had been consumed by guilt, and her appetite had disappeared along with her peace of mind.
Su Bingxin, sensing Yin Yun's inner turmoil, placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Yin Yun, it's not your fault," she reassured.
"How about I make something to eat for you? I can prepare a simple meal to help ease your hunger." Yin Yun looked up at Su Bingxin, grateful for her kindness. "Thank you, Sister Bingxin," she replied softly.
"That would be really nice." Su Bingxin smiled warmly and headed towards the kitchen, determined to create a delicious meal for her friend.
She put the bracelet on her wrist and felt a sense of calm wash over her.
'I will wait until Chen Tian comes back and see what we should do with this item,' Su Bingxin thought to herself as she started gathering ingredients from the pantry.
Alone in the living room, Yin Yun looked around and noticed how cozy and inviting Su Bingxin's and Chen Tian's home was.
She couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and belonging.
As she sat on the couch, she looked around and admired the house, even if her home in the Core area of the sect is much bigger and more luxurious. The simplicity and warmth of this home brought a sense of tranquility that she hadn't felt in a long time.
It reminded her of the time she was in her mother's arms, safe and loved. Yin Yun couldn't help but wish she could stay in this peaceful haven forever, away from the chaos and expectations of her life.
'Why don't we explore for a bit?'
Since she was curious by nature, Yin Yun left the comfort of the couch and ventured deeper into the house.
The house wasn't big—one living room, one kitchen, two rooms, and one bathroom.
As she walked, Yin Yun arrived in front of Chen Tian and Su Bingxin.
The door to the room was open, inviting her to enter. Curiosity getting the better of her, Yin Yun slowly stepped inside.
"Wow, Sister Bingxin and Brother Tian are really messy!"
Yin Yun said as she surveyed the room. The bed was unmade, clothes were strewn across the floor, and books were scattered on the desk. Yin Yun couldn't help but chuckle at the disarray, knowing that Chen Tian and Su Bingxin were usually meticulous and organized.
She wondered what could have caused such chaos in their usually tidy sanctuary.
"Huff hufff"
"What is this weird smell?" Yin Yun wondered aloud.
As she followed her nose, she found herself standing beside the unmade bed. The sheets were crumpled, and there was a strange odor emanating from them. Yin Yun wrinkled her nose in curiosity.
The smell wasn't bad; on the contrary, it was pleasant.
As she took a closer look, she noticed a white substance scattered across the bed. It resembled a liquid gel, shimmering under the soft glow of the bedside lamp. Yin Yun's curiosity intensified as she cautiously reached out to touch it.
The substance was sticky to the touch, clinging to her fingertips. She pulled her hand back, examining the sticky residue. It had a sweet, sugary scent that made her mouth water.
'Should I do it?' Yin Yun asked in her mind.
It would be bad to put anything in her mouth without knowing what it was, but the tempting scent and curiosity were hard to resist.
After a moment of hesitation, she decided to take a small taste. As the sweet substance touched her tongue, a burst of flavor exploded in her mouth.
"Mmmmhh~~~"
It was like nothing she had ever tasted before—a combination of honey and freshly picked strawberries. The taste lingered, leaving her craving for more. Yin Yun couldn't help herself and took another small lick, savoring the delightful sensation.
"It's so tasty~~"
While she was enjoying that, Su Bingxin just finished preparing a good meal for Yin Yun.
"Huh, where did she go?" Su Bingxin wondered aloud, looking around the living room.
She knew that Yin Yun wouldn't leave before she had tried the dish she had prepared.
"Wait, don't tell me!" Su Bingxin's gaze went toward her room as a red tint appeared on her cheeks.
She quickly rushed towards her room, hoping that Yin Yun had simply gone to freshen up.
