In front of Li Dai, Yue Qiubai could be said to have shown an extraordinary degree of forbearance. He did not want to reveal any abnormality that might drag Li Dai down or make her worry.
He did not want to appear weak in front of another male cultivator who also cared deeply for Li Dai. That feeling was especially terrible—extraordinary terrible—as if she and Li Dai belonged to the same world, while he was merely an outsider.
Clearly, Li Dai had already taken him in and intended to make him her sworn subordinate; how could he possibly be an outsider? Therefore, even though his divine soul was being gnawed at by something and he was suffering immensely, he tried his best to keep his body from trembling, to prevent his divine-sense-isolating cloak from falling off, and to keep Li Dai from seeing his wretched complexion.
