Chapter 405: Keeping Your Feelings In Your Heart
The Soul Calming Beast said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “I can’t sing tonight.”
“Silly.” Prime Master Tie Feng took out a medicine bottle and said, “Don’t move. I’ll apply the medicine for you.”
The Soul Calming Beast didn’t dare to move.
Prime Master Tie Feng poured the bottle of medicine into the Soul Calming Beast’s mouth and instructed her, “Hold the medicine in your mouth and spit it out in an hour.”
The Soul Calming Beast asked, “What?”
Unable to hear what the other party was saying, Prime Master Tie Feng said uncertainly, “Are you asking how long an hour is?”
The Soul Calming Beast nodded vigorously.
Prime Master Tie Feng smiled. “You’re illiterate.” He sat down beside the Soul Calming Beast and hugged his saber. “When it’s time, I’ll tell you.”
Only then did the Soul Calming Beast nod.
The Soul Calming Beast squatted on the beach. It was as big as a small building, and Prime Master Tie Feng, who was sitting beside her, wasn’t even as tall as her knee.
The man and beast sat quietly on the beach, listening to the waves and watching the moon. The vibe was actually harmonious.
An hour later, the Soul Calming Beast spat out the medicinal liquid and realized that her mouth no longer hurt.
Prime Master Tie Feng examined her and told her, “Don’t sing or eat hot food for nearly a week.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Prime Master Tie Feng walked along the beach and prepared to take a walk.
The Soul Calming Beast stared at the man’s back and hesitated for a moment before following.
After walking for a while, Prime Master Tie Feng suddenly said, “Is the fish soup delicious?”
The Soul Calming Beast thought about it carefully for a moment before saying, “Yes, it’s delicious, but it’s too hot.”
Prime Master Tie Feng nodded and continued walking in front. As he walked, he asked, “Is fish soup more delicious or are male cultivators more delicious?”
Without thinking, the Soul Calming Beast replied, “The fish soup tastes better!”
After answering, the Soul Calming Beast saw that Prime Master Tie Feng stopped in his tracks.
She realized that she had said something wrong and her eyes widened.
Prime Master Tie Feng sighed and said with his back facing her, “You’re that sea demon, right?”
The Soul Calming Beast fell silent.
Prime Master Tie Feng turned around and looked into the Soul Calming Beast’s eyes, which were filled with uneasiness and grievance. He said, “Let me guess why you ate them.”
The Soul Calming Beast asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Why?”
“Your voice is like the sound of nature. The male cultivators have been pining for you for a long time, so they took a boat to the Divine Sea to meet you. You know that you look fierce and ugly, so you didn’t dare to appear to communicate with them, and you only used your voice to communicate with them.”
“They fell deeply in love with you, or rather, your voice. Perhaps they even promised to marry you, but when they saw your face, they all went back on their words. And you, because your feelings were hurt, ate them all.”
“I guessed correctly, right?”
Right!
He was completely right!
The Soul Calming Beast’s eyes were filled with tears. She felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. She said, “No one said that people with beautiful voices must be beautiful. When they came to look for me, I hid at the bottom of their boat. I clearly told them that I was ugly, but they all swore that they didn’t mind my appearance.”
“But they’re all liars! They keep saying that they don’t mind, but once they see my face, they can’t wait to draw their swords and shout that they want to kill me!”
The Soul Calming Beast cried and asked Prime Master Tie Feng, “What did I do wrong?! How was I cruel?! I just want love! I want to meet someone who truly loves me!”
Prime Master Tie Feng looked at the Soul Calming Beast quietly. He didn’t comfort her or disturb her.
However, the Soul Calming Beast quickly calmed down. She shook her head and shook off her tears.
The Soul Calming Beast lowered her head and looked into Prime Master Tie Feng’s eyes. She saw that Prime Master Tie Feng was holding the saber in his hand tightly and sneered. “What, are you going to kill me and avenge those sc.u.mbags?”
Prime Master Tie Feng raised the saber in his hand and pointed it at the Soul Calming Beast.
The sea breeze blew over.
Prime Master Tie Feng stared into the Soul Calming Beast’s beautiful eyes and suddenly said, “From now on, you will live with me. If you eat another person, I will kill you myself.”
The Soul Calming Beast was stunned.
“You, you won’t kill me?”
If the sea demon was really cruel by nature and ate people without blinking, then Prime Master Tie Feng would definitely kill the sea demon without blinking.
But the sea demon in front of him was more pure-hearted and kinder than anyone else.
Prime Master Tie Feng put away his saber and said, “My soul is damaged, so accompany me and sing for me. When you meet someone who truly loves you and transform into a human, it’s up to you whether to stay or leave.”
With that, Prime Master Tie Feng turned around and walked towards his tent.
The Soul Calming Beast lowered her eyes and looked at the back of Prime Master Tie Feng. A conflicted look appeared in her eyes. In her chest, her heart was racing.
She seemed to be in love again.
After that, the Soul Calming Beast followed beside Prime Master Tie Feng. During the day, she dived at the bottom of the sea to search for pearls. At night, she accompanied him and sang for him.
Their relationship became special. She wasn’t his slave or his pet, but she wasn’t his friend either. They spent time together, but they respected each other.
When Prime Master Tie Feng wasn’t cultivating, he would also read books. Occasionally, the Soul Calming Beast would squat beside him and read a few pages. No matter how simple the words were, they were like Greek to the Soul Calming Beast.
“How do you write your name?” The Soul Calming Beast only knew that her companion was called Sheng Tiefeng, but she didn’t know how to write these three words.
Prime Master Tie Feng picked up a tree branch and wrote his name on the beach.
Sheng, Tie, Feng.
Every word was written in complicated handwriting.
The Soul Calming Beast took a look and realized that the name was too complicated. She couldn’t understand or remember it at all, so she shook her head and prepared to leave.
Just as she turned around, she heard Prime Master Tie Feng ask, “What’s your name?”
The Soul Calming Beast said, “Beauty.”
“What?” Prime Master Tie Feng thought that he misheard her.
The Soul Calming Beast said, “Those male cultivators call me Beauty.”
Prime Master Tie Feng was speechless.
Perhaps they were all blind.
Prime Master Tie Feng said, “Since you don’t have a name, I’ll give you a name.”
“Sure.” The Soul Calming Beast was very interested. She told Tie Feng, “I want the simplest, easiest to write, and easiest to remember name.”
Prime Master Tie Feng said, “Then I can only call you Ah Yi.”
“Alright, this name will do.” A name was just a way to call her. The Soul Calming Beast felt that the name “Ah Yi” was quite simple.
However, Prime Master Tie Feng said, “Your name will accompany you for the rest of your life. Although the name Ah Yi is simple and easy to remember, it’s a little too casual. In the future, you will have to take human form. At that time, it won’t be appropriate to call you Ah Yi.”
“What should I be called then?”
Prime Master Tie Feng wrote a few more words on the beach before another word appeared.
The Soul Calming Beast couldn’t understand the word at all. She said, “What word is this?”
“Ying.”
“Oh.” The Soul Calming Beast didn’t understand the meaning of this name. To her, it didn’t matter if she was called Ah Ying or Ah Yi.
However, Prime Master Tie Feng explained seriously, “Ying stands for secret feelings. Ah Ying is a very good name. I’ll call you Ah Ying from now on.”
“Okay.”
