They had lost control of their emotion for several times. It was definitely not a coincidence!
What surprised them both most was that they didn't honestly feel like resisting the emotion. The emotion was the kind of curiosity a little girl had.
They felt so weird as if they were not talking to a young man who was several generations younger… Instead, it felt like they were talking to an honorable senior brother whom they respected.
The weird feeling confused them.
They had never had such a feeling in their lives!
"I am laughing at you two," Ye Xiao blandly said and smiled. He finally raised up his head and looked at the ladies with a pair of profound eyes.
It was like an elder brother looking at two little sisters.
It was full of yearning and pleasure as he finally met someone that he hadn't seen for a long time!
"Yue Shuang, are you fully cured now?" Ye Xiao gently asked.
That was such an abrupt question!
Yue Shuang widely opened her eyes and shouted, "What did you say? Cured? I wasn't sick!"
Ye Xiao was still calm. He continued, "You always felt pain in the left side of your butt when it heavily rained, didn't you? Don't you feel it now? That is such a pleasant thing to know!"
The ladies never knew that the young man would talk about something private all of a sudden!
Yue Shuang's face, which would have remained calm and frosty even when the sky fell down, suddenly turned red. Although she looked fierce and vigorous with her eyes wide open, when she opened her mouth, the tone of her voice when she shouted seemed to be full of softness. "That's not true!"
That was all she could do—shout like a little girl!
On the other side, Yue Han blushed too. She was furious as she gritted her teeth. "Kid, I will kill you if you keep talking nonsense!"
Ye Xiao turned to Yue Han, who was fiercely threatening him. "Yue Han, Yue Shuang didn't sound confident at all. I guess she is still suffering that illness. Well, then I assume you are too. You always feel pain on the right side of your butt, right?"
"Ah!" Yue Han exclaimed, and her face turned pale as if she had seen a ghost in the daytime.
They were both shocked after feeling ashamed and angry.
What Ye Xiao said was definitely a secret. Nobody in Qing-Yun Realm knew the secret.
[How does he know our secret?]
[Only one person knew, someone who isn't...]
Ye Xiao showed a warm smile.
"Are you shocked? Are you wondering why I, this young Ye Xiao, know about the secret that nobody is supposed to know?" He asked softly.
"Of course… not!" Yue Shuang retorted, and then started to shout again, "That is not true!"
Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Fine. Not true if you say so. Do you really need to be so angry?"
Then he said, "Let me tell you a story… Once upon a time, twins were born… however, they were abandoned since the day they came to the world because they were… disabled from birth."
Yue Shuang and Yue Han's faces were totally pale. They looked terrified in the eyes, like two little birds trembling in the wild field in the rainstorm. They were no longer the domineering and overwhelming cultivators now.
"The two little girls were a joke of heavens… Their lower halves were stuck together… They actually shared one bone in the lower half of the body. The bone was below the waist but above the thighs… How embarrassing but essential!"
Ye Xiao looked at Yue Shuang and Yue Han with warm and gentle eyes. "Nobody believed two children could survive such a disability. It was nearly impossible to separate them. Any surgery could kill two new-born babies. They might die before the surgery finished. So… they were abandoned when they were born.
"They were thrown to a wild field when it was snowing with howling winds all over. They were just born, but they were going to die soon…"
"When the two girls were about to be frozen, a young beggar walked by." Ye Xiao stared at Yue Shuang and Yue Han.
The two ladies were quivering. They kept staring at Ye Xiao without a blink.
"The beggar felt pity for the two girls. He knew he couldn't leave them like that… so he found a knife and cut the two babies apart…
"The beggar had experienced a lot in the world, so he clearly knew that the two girls must be separated to survive. If they couldn't be separated, they would eventually die. Cutting them apart would at least bring them hope. Maybe the heaven felt sorry for the little girls. After that stupid and reckless surgery, the two girls were successfully separated. They both lost their consciousness, but they were breathing. They survived!
"After that, the girls were unconscious for seven days. In the seven days, the beggar had done everything he could to protect the two babies. He robbed and deceived. He did everything he could to keep the two girls alive.
"The girls had just come to the world, yet they would die at any second. However, to keep them alive was the only hope of the beggar in the world. He was also an abandoned kid after all, that was why he would do everything he could to protect the girls."
"Maybe the heaven was touched or guilty. It gave the little beggar a miracle." Ye Xiao spoke in a deep voice, "In the wind and snow, from the disease that nobody could cure, the two little girls, who were doomed to die, eventually survived.
"They didn't die!
"What a miracle! It was a miracle of life that there was, is, and will be no explanation for!"
Ye Xiao spoke in a deep voice, "But even after the miracle, things were still not promising to them. The two little girls weren't in perfect physical conditions. They were severely injured right after they were born, and they couldn't move. Even when the wounds were healed, they still couldn't move. They could only lie down all the time.
"The beggar had taken good care of the two girls through the days. Even when he would surely be beaten half to death, he still robbed and deceived for food, medicines, and clothes, just to keep the three of them alive.
"The three of them, with the beggar's effort, lived in a most menial way."
