Chapter 610 - 607
Upon seeing the white clouds, Ye Tian thought of that green bird; when he left home, he had seen it on a tree. The airport was a no-fly zone for birds—surely that silly bird wouldn’t risk its life to follow him here, right? Ye Tian suddenly recalled the intense gust of wind that day and how that silly bird fanned away a hawk with a single flap of its wing. He couldn’t help but mumble about his unnecessary worries. That bird could even bring a soaring eagle to heel; flying a few rounds in the sky was nothing.
Ye Tian’s brow relaxed, but soon it knotted up again.
Something in his stomach did not feel right.
It was still that alternating sensation of cold and warmth, which had almost healed and had not acted up for nearly a week. Why was it reacting now? And there was some abnormality during the security check earlier on. Could it be because they had flown high into the sky?
The airplane continued to climb, and Ye Tian saw the increasingly thick cumulus clouds. Initially, he could still see the checkerboard-like pattern of the city below, but later on, he could only make out the land where yellow met green until they flew high enough that he could only see clouds that seemed to be stationary. At this point, Ye Tian felt the discomfort in his stomach even more clearly.
This was not a good sign.
Ye Tian leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes. Through the window, he saw his own eyes above the bridge of his nose seemingly change color, probably to red. To avoid alarming others, Ye Tian closed his eyes and then began to feel a burning pain.
I couldn’t possibly have gone astray, could I? But I haven’t achieved any supernatural powers.
The cold and warm energies in his abdomen began to circulate again. The two streams of air alternately switched positions, forming a circle. Ye Tian felt the two breaths starting to contest with each other. Previous experiences told him that if he could just hold on for a while, his condition would improve on its own. But now, the situation, which usually settled by itself, did not go as expected.
Instead of harmonizing, the two streams of cold and warm air began to tear at each other, causing severe pain that grew increasingly intense until it became excruciating, as if his bones were aching. Ye Tian did not know how to cope with this situation. The pain in his eyes intensified, as if they were burning in flames, and large beads of sweat began to fall down. Amidst the pain, Ye Tian could still feel the sweat sliding from his forehead down his cheeks and dripping from his chin.
