Chapter 895: The Enlightenment of Drunken Cat Yu Jie
Although he could not obtain the secret of the Eye of the Underworld from His Majesty, Yue Yang was not worried; he would definitely say it himself when his anger died down.
I shouldn’t have to worry about this, and I can’t worry about this either!
Xue Wu Xia had a few lengthy discussions with Si-niang these few days, but no matter how much Yue Yang pried, she wouldn’t give in.
The Tigress Princess Qian Qian went to the Heaven Stairway to look for Yue Yu, but she never came back. She is probably trying to persuade Yue Yu, but what the hell is going on? Yue Yang was puzzled. Finally, he was too lazy to think, so he had to bury his thoughts and concentrate on the research of the Beast Bracelet. If Yue Yu doesn’t return, no one else could be an assistant for Yue Yang. In the end, Drunken Cat Yu Jie couldn’t bear to see him struggle, so she ran over to help.
She initially thought that this was going to be an easy job. Who would have thought that after Yue Yang had inadvertently caused several explosions as he tried it out several times, scaring her half to death!
The probability of failure of this experiment was too high!
Fortunately, she only came here to help for a few days. If this went on for a long time, Drunken Cat Yu Jie felt that she might just go crazy. She also guessed that it was because of Yue Yu’s presence that Yue Yang was able to pull through with a smile on his face.
“You crazy man, don’t study it any more; this is definitely not right, so let’s just change it!” Drunken Cat Yu Jie had seen Yue Yang fail three times, yet he still insisted on proceeding with the same experiment, which led her to become unable to bear with it any longer as she came forward with an objection. Originally, she had assured Yue Yang that no matter what he did, she would not object to it; yet the tables turned before a day of work was even over.
“Failure is a normal process. If the topic of research had not experienced hundreds of failures, it would not stand on its own feet. Even if the research was truly completed, it must be tested in all aspects. Forget it, I won’t explain too much; it’s just a waste of saliva to explain this to a dense lady like you,” Student Yue Yang portrayed an expression of contempt, looking like a high-ranker that glared upon civilians that dared to question the nobility’s authority. Basically, his facial expressions said ‘this master’s words are reasonable’.
“…” Drunken Cat Yu Jie was amazed by his usual authority of coercion. Finally, his tempt was met with nothing but an overwhelming silence.
“I’ll have you know that in fact,carrying out this experiment is very difficult, so the most important thing is to have a good memory. The steps cannot be wrong either—there can be no flaws at all. If you have a memory like mine, things will be fine. Huh? How strange. Where did my Red Flame Demon Crystal go?” Student Yue Yang was talking to himself.
“What happens if a wrong procedure is made?” Drunken Cat Yu Jie was shocked when she heard him explain.
“It will explode!” Yue Yang replied without raising his head.
“Just now, did you say that the Red Flame Demon Crystal was gone?” Drunken Cat Yu Jie was sweating profusely and she felt a wave of coldness behind her back.
“I found it; I just forgot to put it in the rune pattern at the bottom level just now, but my Blue Ice Demon Crystal is nowhere to be found…” Student Yue Yang searched for it within a 3-feet-scope.
“Crap!” Drunken Cat Yu Jie remembered that this kid had just put the Blue Ice Demon Crystal into the middle rune pattern. Frightened, she turned around and fled, but it was too late.
Rumble!
A violent explosion exploded from the rune pattern.
The shock wave caused Drunken Cat Yu Jie to tumble towards the corner, nearly buried alive by the debris of the explosion.
When she got up, she noticed that a tear in her clothing caused a large hole to form from her back to her buttocks. Although she was okay, she felt the cool air blowing her back.
Looking at Yue Yang again, she saw his head singed. Like a slab of bacon that was being hung, he was dark and barely visible. She was only vaguely able to tell that it was a human being. The Drunken Cat Yu Jie waited for Yue Yang to descend from his levitation as she realised that his entire body was coated in a layer of soot— only his eyes and teeth had a shade of white. Then, Drunken Cat Yu Jie yelled at Yue Yang very frantically, “Didn’t you say you have a good memory?”
Yue Yang scratched his hair,”My memory is indeed good, but I’m not usually the one who remembers where the crystals are placed; it was normally sister Yu who arranges those things. I only ever needed to hand her the items she wanted,” With that said, Drunken Cat Yu Jie blushed. Looking back, she seemed to be a little nonchalant when she cooperated with him. Because of the several explosions, her mood was affected. It seemed that she was the root of the problem as it was her who held the Red Flame Demon Crystal and the Blue Ice Demon Crystal before passing them to him.
Perhaps the failure of this experiment was not because of him, but because of me… The Drunken Cat Yu Jie, who realized that she was wrong, felt very guilty and didn’t get angry with him anymore. Of course, it was impossible for her to admit her mistakes directly!
She decided to go out and wash her face, adjust her mentality and get a change of clothes at the same time before coming back to cooperate with his experiment.
I have to make sure to cooperate with him 100% seriously this time.
When the Drunken Cat Yu Jie went out to wash the mud stains off her face, adjusted her mentality and condition. She slipped into a new set of clothes and returned to the laboratory. There, she found that Yue Yang, who was still scorched, had already started another experiment. She hurried up, rushing to clean up the messy explosives on the ground and handed him the items he needed according to his needs.
Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded again and the shock wave blasted Drunken Cat Yu Jie who was cleaning up and slammed her onto the wall.
It turned out that the things that she had packed up were once again scattered all over the house. It looked like she didn’t clean up very much; rather, it became even more messy.
Drunken Cat Yu Jie almost shed tears.
Is it really that difficult to want to do something successfully?
She gritted her teeth and continued to clean up. When she finished her work, she found that Yue Yang had made a larger and more complicated rune pattern. Because of the extremely precise energy painting and control, he hardly paid attention to anything else in a timespan of ten minutes. Even when he was speaking, he kept his eyes on that rune pattern. Seeing him sweating profusely, with a face so scorched to the point where fairer trails of skin were formed when beads of sweat trickled down his head, she couldn’t help but feel herself becoming soft-hearted. In fact, this kid was very serious in his work. Although he was usually a bit lustful, he was very serious when it came to handling the experiment, as if he was completely replaced by another person!
Drunken Cat Yu Jie remembered that she had visited Yue Yang when Yue Yu was aiding him by his side, so she also followed Yue Yu’s example. She brought a towel over and handed him to wipe off his sweat.
“Idiot, don’t block my eyes when you’re wiping my sweat!” Yue Yang cursed.
“You-” The Drunken Cat Yu Jie wanted to say that he could do it himself if he didn’t like the way she did it! But the words that rushed to her lips were choked as she swallowed them back. When Yue Yu wiped his sweat, he wouldn’t scold her, would he? She has always been gentle and caring; she knew what to do and what not to do. Hence, she needed to be humble as well.
Although she was slightly wronged, Drunken Cat Yu Jie endured it.
She carefully wiped the sweat for him before bringing a glass of water over to give him a drink.
Who would have thought that as Yue Yang was intensively studying, he shouted angrily, “Stay away from me! Don’t bother me even if the sky is falling apart!”
Her kindness was struck by lightning!
The Drunken Cat Yu Jie was brimming with hatred. She almost poured the glass of water over his head, but she endured her annoyance. She guessed that Yue Yu probably wouldn’t bother him at a time like this, but she was wrong. Placing the water aside, Drunken Cat Yu Jie waited for a long time. She felt that the water still had to be drunk no matter what— otherwise, with his vigorous sweating, he might dry up out of dehydration. What can I do? What would Yue Yu do if she was here?
Feed him with a spoon?
No, he definitely doesn’t have time to be fed with spoonfuls of water. Besides, it’s too slow anyways.
If this doesn’t work, what should I do?
What does Yue Yu usually do?
She must have a way, because Yue Yu wouldn’t ever bear to see her little brother being thirsty… Drunken Cat Yu Jie thought for a long time before she finally had an idea. She remembered the straw that Yue Yang made for Little Shuang Er to blow bubbles with. Yes, that would most definitely be okay!
Thinking of this, Drunken Cat Yu Jie hurried to look for it in the house, but to no avail. She immediately rushed out and ran into the room of Si-niang and Little Shuang Er, where she ransacked the little girl’s treasure chest to find a few straws that were no longer used. It was too late to return the little girl’s treasure chest to its original position as she ran back hurriedly. Then, she placed the straws in the cup before handing it over. Seeing that Yue Yang really didn’t have time to pay attention to himself, he lifted the straw and took it to his lips.
“One more cup,” Yue Yang didn’t praise her. He studied the rune pattern with the full concentration of his entire mind, so he didn’t have time to say much. At this time, the rune patterns were flashing in a series as complex as stars, endlessly changing. Yue Yang did everything he could to memorise it as the change in the situations couldn’t be delayed for even a second.
“Okay!” The Drunken Cat Yu Jie was overjoyed when she heard his words. She then immediately rushed to pour another glass of water.
Halfway throughout the process, she found that a semi-torn sleeve was too troublesome, so she just tore the fabric off.
After she finished tearing the sleeves, she remembered one thing. Yue Yu would usually come out of the laboratory wearing sleeveless clothes. She guessed that the long sleeves were easily torn off because of the work that was induced, or perhaps she chose to just wear sleeveless clothes. As Drunken Cat Yu Jie turned back after refilling his water, she found that the light flashing on the rune array was going haywire.
Oops, it’s going to explode.
She first thought of avoiding immediately, but when she looked at Yue Yang, he stared intently at the runes this time. If he wanted to avoid any explosion, then no explosion would be able to affect him. With domain power, he could also resist any explosion that ever occured the experiment. But he didn’t leave as he kept staring at the final changes of the rune patterns, not caring about enduring the upcoming explosion.
Rumble!
The large eruption was expected.
Drunken Cat Yu Jie put her hands in front of the door, resisting the shock wave of the big explosion.
Although her newly changed clothes became riddled with defects once again, she found that it didn’t matter at all… Now she somewhat understood Yue Yu’s mentality when she cooperated with Yue Yang in his experiments.
As long as it could help him succeed, would she bother to deal with anything else?
A piece of clothing meant nothing if she could help!
Besides, in the house, no one except him would see her. Besides, this kid had no time to look at himself either even as the clothes on his body were torn to pieces. Who would see him? What made Drunken Cat Yu Jie enlightened the most was the fact that she remembered the rune pattern had only 2-Level changes before the first explosion occurred. Later, when she was about to lose her temper and leave, the rune patterns had already gone through the upper middle 3-Level changes. And just now, in addition to the upper, middle and lower three layers, there was also an auxiliary pattern around each rune…In other words, even though he seemed to fail again and again, he was actually improving!
He would rather bear the brunt of the explosion, but insist on exploring the truth.
It was precisely this kind of spirit and this kind of attitude that made his research progress well time and time again.
Other people always admired the success of the Third Young Master of the Yue Clan, but they never knew how much sweat and hard work this kid has spent on the road to success. Drunken Cat Yu Jie was moved as she watched him.
His memory must be extremely good, so why did he mistake the two materials that were so different between the Red Flame Demon Crystal and the Blue Ice Demon Crystal? This was not a joke, but rather that he became too focused. He solely concentrated too much on recording the changes in the rune pattern that caused the reality outside of the spirit to be confused. Hence, he had mistaken the entirely different materials between the Red Flame Demon Crystal and the Blue Ice Demon Crystal .
When he starts an experiment, he would be completely devoted to it, to the point where he could forget everything else even as he suffered the thirst for water.
Because of that, Yue Yu, who knew him best, needed to help and cooperate with him!
“Come again, let’s do it again!” Drunken Cat Yu Jie suddenly came to her senses. She suppressed the touched feelings in her heart and moved forward, patting Yue Yang on the shoulder, “You restore the rune patterns and I will give you the materials. This time, I won’t make any more mistakes!”
“Huh?” Yue Yang glanced at her strangely, seemingly very puzzled. Wasn’t she very angry just now? Yet, she seems to be in a good mood now. What’s going on?
“Let me wipe some of your sweat first!” Drunken Cat Yu Jie realized that she had never been this gentle as she carefully wiped his blackened face with a towel. She controlled her actions, trying not to affect the process of his recovery from the rune pattern. Seeing Yue Yang’s coat blown up so badly, she’d rather just tore it off.
Forget it, it’s not like I haven’t seen this kid’s body. Anyway, he’s carrying out an experiment, so when on Earth would he have the time to be bothered with something as measly as this? Besides, Yue Yu didn’t mind— so what was there to be afraid of?!
“Boom…”
“One more time!”
“Boom!”
“I have nothing else to do, so do it again!”
With the wholehearted cooperation of Drunken Cat Yu Jie, Yue Yang made continuous progress in the research on the rune pattern of the Beast Bracelet.
Three days later, Princess Qian Qian invited Yue Yu back from the Heaven Stairway. When the two women pushed open the crumbling door of the laboratory, they were surprised to find that an entirely naked Drunken Cat Yu Jie was tenderly wiping off Yue Yang’s sweat, who was also in a state of nudity. The two of them were completely immersed in the experiment process, completely unaware of Princess Qian Qian and Yue Yu who entered.
Princess Qian Qian was dumbfounded; she had never seen Drunken Cat Yu Jie’s gentle and warm side.
As for Yue Yu, she was smiling…
