ATG: My genius is almost frightening!-Chapter 225 - 224: Another Day, Another Defeat

After some time had passed, Mu Bingyun had already recovered from her shock and composed her emotions. She looked at Yun Wuji's clear eyes and asked, "Why can you use Darkness profound energy?"

What she saw in this short time raised countless questions in her mind. But among them, the thing that she couldn't believe or accept was the fact that Yun Wuji, the man she always believed had the heart of a saint, the person who shouldn't be tainted by any evil, actually used Darkness profound energy.

The power that only evil devils used!

This didn't make any sense on many levels!

Even ignoring his character that she always admired, the fact that he could use Light Profound Energy meant that it was nigh impossible to be able to cultivate Darkness Profound Energy. The two types of energy could never exist in the same person. No one was an exception to this rule, not even the Creation Gods from the old era!

Only the dead Ancestral Goddess could do that!

"Because I can use all the elements." Yun Wuji's smile didn't change, as if he had expected her question. He waved his left hand, and seven balls appeared, each a different color, red, blue, black, purple, yellow, white, and green. They all represented a respective law of element.

"..." Mu Bingyun stared at the seven elements, and her eyes widened again, but this time her shock wasn't as great as before. She had already been shocked so many times in such a short time that she became numb to it.

Yun Wuji waved his hand, and the seven balls scattered into tiny sparkling dots. "I didn't go out of my way to cultivate Darkness. It just happened like that."

The first thing he did was to distance himself from the identity of a "devil" before talking his way out. Unlike Mu Xuanyin, Mu Bingyun wasn't his lover. Although he knew that it was absolutely impossible for her to do anything to him, there was still a tiny chance that she might start hating him and leave.

Even if he was confident that he could make her change her mind later, if this were to happen, Yun Wuji preferred to avoid the trouble from the very beginning and cut this possibility altogether.

And Yun Wuji didn't like to leave things to chance, especially after his experience when he first came to the God Realm. Meeting Qianye Ying'er was his greatest wake-up call to not rely on chance, no matter how small it was.

"You mean that you inadvertently cultivated Darkness profound energy without meaning to?" Mu Bingyun asked, and seeing him nod, she became speechless. In the end, she sighed and said, "Sometimes I feel that your genius is frightening."

"You'll get used to it," Yun Wuji chuckled and said.

Hearing his explanation, Mu Bingyun patted her chest in relief. She felt as if a huge stone had been lifted off her heart. The shock she felt was too great, she didn't think she would be able to accept it if everything she knew about him was fake.

After calming her emotions, her expression suddenly became serious. She reached out with both her hands and held his face. She looked him in the eyes and said, "You must never show anyone your Darkness profound energy. Including my sister, understand?! If she were to know that you cultivate darkness, she would be the first to kill you."

Normally, such close skin contact would only happen between family or friends of the same sex. This was even more so for a woman like Mu Bingyun, who didn't like contact even with women, much less a man. But under Yun Wuji's subtle influence, she became very used to it.

It started with just pats on the back or shoulder, to holding hands, and now it was very natural for them to even hug each other. This all began in the first month they met, when he used that month to heal her.

Because he was healing her, it was normal for him as a doctor to touch some parts of her body, like her upper back or the area around her profound veins, like her stomach.

Another factor was that touching him made her feel comfortable and soothed, both physically and mentally, because he was always surrounded by Light Profound Energy that could calm the body and mind.

After a month, both of them no longer cared about small things like this, and it was normal for them to hold each other's faces, like Mu Bingyun was doing.

Yun Wuji raised his hands and placed them over hers. His eyes also became serious, and he said, "Speaking of your sister, there's a second secret I want to tell you."

"Another secret? What is it?" Mu Bingyun asked.

"Xuanyin won't do anything to me because she already knew about my Darkness profound energy," Yun Wuji took a deep breath and answered, "Because we are lovers."

"What?" Mu Bingyun felt as if a bolt had hit her. She froze in place, her beautiful eyes widened. "What... did... You say?" She felt as if her ears were not functioning properly. Did she just hear that Yun Wuji was in a relationship with her elder sister?!

Her high and mighty sister?

How is that possible?!

"I and Xuanyin are together," Yun Wuji repeated, slowly this time.

"..." Mu Bingyun stared at him with astonished eyes. Her chest rose and fell. She said slowly, "How?"

"When I left the sect last time, she was stalking me. And after a series of events, we became together." Yun Wuji hesitated to speak, but in the end, he explained to her briefly.

"Unbelievable... Sister is in love..." Mu Bingyun closed her eyes and muttered. She had always believed that there was no man who could catch her sister's eyes, not even the strongest man in the universe, the Dragon Monarch, could do so. But in just a few short months of meeting Yun Wuji, she actually fell for him!

In the end, she let out a complex sigh and whispered, "Is this fate?"

"No, fate was destroyed by Fang Yuan," Hei Xiaolian, who was listening to their conversation in the Sky Poison Pearl, snickered.

"..." Yun Wuji ignored the woman who just said a spoiler and spoke, "When Xuanyin saw me using the Darkness profound energy, her reaction was just like yours."

"Dark profound energy is just another type of profound energy. Don't you think you're being too prejudiced?" Yun Wuji held her hands tighter and spoke in a sincere tone. He started to give her the same lecture he gave her sister.

"..." Mu Bingyun listened to Yun Wuji silently.

...

After a long time, Mu Bingyun adjusted her emotions again after listening to his words completely. Her reaction was much calmer than Mu Xuanyin's. At least she didn't lose control and slap him. Perhaps learning that her sister had already begun to accept the Darkness profound energy had affected her view of it as well.

Seeing her like this, Yun Wuji lowered her hands from his face, and a hesitant look appeared on his face. He spoke to her, "Actually, there's a third secret I want to share with you."

Looking at his serious and hesitant expression, one that didn't appear even when he was talking about world-shaking matters earlier. Mu Bingyun felt that what he was about to say was extremely important to him. She said softly, "What is it?"

"Actually, I... I..." Yun Wuji opened his mouth to speak. His eyes, looking at her, were brimming with affection and love. But when he wanted to speak, the words were stuck in his throat. In the end, he lowered his head and let go of her hands. He forced a smile and said, "You know what, forget it. I don't think I'm ready to share it with you now. Let's leave it for another day."

"...Ok," Mu Bingyun guessed what he wanted to tell her; he wanted to confess his feelings for her. This made her heart beat fast, but at the same time, she felt anxious. After all, he was her sister's man.

How could she share the same man as her sister?!

But when she heard his last words, she undoubtedly felt some disappointment.

"Let's go back." Yun Wuji's radiant smile returned to his face. He held her hand, and both of them flew up, leaving this pocket world.
