"This little rascal is so young, yet he has the strength of a five-star Dou Zhe. He's definitely not from an ordinary family. Besides, ordinary people wouldn't wander around in this Monster Beast Mountain Range!"
"He's probably a disciple of some powerful force, a fledgling who's gone out to gain experience after completing his studies!"
"As for that mysterious person who suddenly appeared..."
Recalling the terrifying figure that had appeared earlier, a hint of fear and lingering dread appeared in Yun Yun's eyes.
"They might be protectors sent by the forces behind him!"
"That person definitely possesses the strength of a Dou Zong! According to the sect's records, sealing off the void and condensing a spatial lock are techniques only a Dou Zong can employ!"
"The Jia Ma Empire has absolutely no Dou Zong experts, and there are no Dou Zong experts in the entire Northwest Region. Could it be that this person actually comes from the Central State?"
Yun Yun's mind was filled with countless thoughts as she tried to guess Xiao Yan's identity.
"The Central Plains, it's said to be the world of cultivators. Compared to that, the Northwest Region can only be considered a remote and impoverished place!"
"There are numerous sects and countless ancient families there, and Dou Zong and Dou Zun are everywhere!"
Thinking of a certain possibility, her pupils contracted, and her heart burned with excitement.
"This bastard has a Dou Zong protecting him; his background must be extraordinary!"
"No wonder he's so reckless!"
Yun Yun secretly imagined Xiao Yan's background and found a good excuse for her own predicament.
"I'm weaker than him, and I've been tricked. What should I do? Kill him? Will that mysterious person let me go?"
For a moment, Yunyun was in a state of utter confusion, not knowing what to do.
After a long while, she let out a dejected sigh, helplessly sheathed her longsword, and walked into the cave. As she brushed past Xiao Yan, she said indifferently, "Let's pretend that what happened last night never happened. Otherwise, it won't do either of us any good if word gets out."
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Yan stood frozen in place, staring at her graceful and alluring back view, as well as the marks left by the two people on the stone bed, especially the plum blossom dots, which were particularly striking and glaring.
"good……"
He closed his eyes, nodded helplessly, then exhaled, a bitter sigh escaping his lips.
Indeed, such things should be forgotten.
Compared to Yun Yun's status, Xiao Yan was indeed like a frog at the bottom of a well, although he was fortunate enough to get close to her because of Yun Yun's misfortune.
However, while the swans returned to the vast sky, the frog at the bottom of the well could only squat in the well and look up at the well opening.
The Douhuang realm is an insurmountable chasm. Perhaps Xiao Yan will have the opportunity to cross it many years from now, but certainly not now.
This proud woman would not believe that a mere Dou Zhe (Battle Warrior) could reach that level. Even if his talent was not weak, it was not a necessary condition to become a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) powerhouse.
"A fleeting dream leaves no trace..."
Bare-chested, Xiao Yan leaned against the wall, his hands behind his head, staring blankly out of the cave, lost in thought.
He sensed that something was wrong.
Xiao Yan didn't consider himself a lustful person, so why did he suddenly become so beastly when he saw Yun Yun?
"Come to think of it, this woman was Nalan Yanran's master. Now I've slept with her master. When we meet again in the future, the scene will be... so awkward!"
"But isn't it too much to be so heartless to pull out the knife?"
Xiao Yan secretly glanced at Yun Yun, who was struggling to break the seal inside the cave, and scratched his head, thinking with some trouble.
You have to bear the consequences of your own mistakes.
After thinking for a long time without finding a solution, Xiao Yan simply stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in cultivation.
As the two fell silent, an awkward and quiet atmosphere settled over the cave. Although they had been intimate, they were like mortal enemies, even more so than strangers.
The silence lasted until noon. During this time, Xiao Yan went out and caught a few fish. He squatted by the fire, absentmindedly rolling a wooden stick around. Suddenly, he noticed something and looked up.
However, his gaze met a pair of bright, beautiful eyes. The two pairs of eyes met briefly, then pretended to look away nonchalantly. Xiao Yan turned the grilled fish over again, took one out, and handed it to Yun Yun.
"You eat, I'm not hungry."
Yun Yun lowered her eyelids and said softly, but as soon as she finished speaking, she felt her lower abdomen contract slightly. However, she was stubborn and closed her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to her stomach's protest.
"Eat something, why make things difficult for yourself?"
Seeing Yun Yun's reluctance to accept it, Xiao Yan tried to persuade her.
Yun Yun opened her eyes, raised her face, and saw the boy standing by the fire with a warm smile. A soft look flashed in her eyes. It was undeniable that Xiao Yan's handsome appearance, combined with his age, made him look quite harmless.
Given Yun Yun's status and position, she had seen countless outstanding young men, including some so handsome that women would practically throw themselves at them.
However, she didn't show any extra attention to these people. The only man who could stir her heart seemed to be this boy in front of her, whose relationship was a complicated mess.
Staring at Xiao Yan, Yun Yun recalled the madness of last night, her pretty face slightly flushed. As if thinking of something, she finally reached out and took the grilled fish in front of her, her small mouth slightly open, just about to touch it.
Xiao Yan, who was standing nearby, suddenly said with concern, "Be careful not to burn your mouth."
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yun Yun was taken aback, then rolled her eyes at him and said, "Have you ever seen a Dou Huang powerhouse care about this little bit of temperature?"
Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly, grabbed a grilled fish, and wolfed it down.
Yun Yun slowly tore off pieces of fish and put them into her mouth, swallowed the food, and said softly, "In a few more days, we should be able to break the seal."
Xiao Yan's chewing motion suddenly stopped. He swallowed what was in his mouth and sighed softly.
