Living Together in the Cave II

Xiao Kun looked at Yun Yun, once dignified and noble, wearing such an adorably blank expression, and could not help sighing inwardly.

Yun Yun had really changed a lot over the course of this day! From dignified and noble, to an ordinary young girl, to the girl next door!

Though he inwardly marveled at the destructive power of Yun Yun's expression, his hand directly picked up a slice of cooked meat, dipped it in the sauce dish, and put it into his mouth. He nodded, looking quite satisfied.

Seeing this, Yun Yun copied Xiao Kun, picking up a slice of cooked meat and dipping it in the sauce dish before slowly placing it in her mouth. Her red lips moved slightly.

Apparently dissatisfied with the taste, she frowned faintly, yet still maintained an elegant posture as she chewed slowly.

After her long, beautiful neck moved gently as she swallowed, a trace of confusion appeared on her pretty face. She asked in puzzlement, "The sauce I mixed doesn't seem very good! I clearly followed what you said!"

Hearing Yun Yun's question, Xiao Kun dipped his chopsticks into some of the sauce in her dish. Only after tasting it did he realize that it indeed had an indescribably strange flavor.

He could not help sighing inwardly again. It seemed Yun Yun really was like in the original story. All her talent points had gone into cultivation, and she was utterly clueless when it came to everyday life!

He smiled and said, "There is indeed something wrong with the sauce you mixed. Let me help you instead. Tell me what flavor you like, and I'll mix it for you!"

"All right! I like it mildly spicy, with a bit of..."

Seemingly realizing that she truly had no talent in this regard, a faint blush appeared on Yun Yun's icy, flawless face. In a slightly embarrassed tone, she described the flavor she wanted.

After mixing the sauce, Xiao Kun handed it over and casually asked, "By the way, your name?"

"Yun Zhi." Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly as Yun Yun answered with a smile.

"Shi Kun." Xiao Kun picked up a slice of beef with his chopsticks and casually made up a name as well.

Yun Yun was indeed still quite wary and had given him a false name.

Thinking about it, that was only normal. Her strength was currently sealed, and if she revealed her real name and happened to encounter an enemy, she would certainly be in danger. The Misty Cloud Sect was also highly conspicuous in the Jia Ma Empire.

As for Xiao Kun, if he exposed his real name now and Yun Yun learned that he was the elder brother of the man her disciple Nalan Yanran had previously broken off an engagement with, it would be difficult for them to get along afterward.

Thus, both sides tacitly refrained from dwelling on whether their names were real.

Their brief conversation slowly came to an end. Having run out of topics, the two fell into silence. Only the sizzling of meat in the frying pan remained.

"After your injuries heal, do you still plan to seek out the Amethyst Winged Lion King?" As time slowly passed, Xiao Kun, already seven-tenths full, chewed a slice of lamb and asked indistinctly.

"Yes, I need to obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal." Yun Yun sighed softly and spoke while pursing her red lips, faintly stained with oil.

"Judging by the result of your last battle, things don't look optimistic." Xiao Kun shook his head, clearly not optimistic about her chances.

"Our strengths are not far apart. I simply never expected it to have mastered a Sealing Technique. Last time, I suffered because I was caught off guard. If we fight again, my Wind Extremity: Meteorite Kill may not necessarily lose to it."

Hearing Xiao Kun's words, Yun Yun spoke with a slight frown, her voice faintly revealing a trace of unwillingness.

"That move really was powerful." Xiao Kun did not dare underestimate the attack that had sliced off half of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's hardest horn.

He rubbed his filled stomach with his left hand, glanced at Yun Yun, who had long since set down her chopsticks, and said, "You should rest first. I'll clean up the rest."

Thinking of how she currently had no Dou Qi at all, Yun Yun could only nod with a smile. After thanking him, she sat cross-legged on the stone platform, closed her eyes, and slowly dissolved the Amethyst Seal within her body.

Seeing this, Xiao Kun washed the dishes, burned the scraps to ash with a Heavenly Flame, then sat cross-legged on the nearby stone platform and began cultivating as well.

During the days Yun Yun spent breaking the seal, the two gradually became more familiar with each other due to Xiao Kun's attentive care.

Perhaps because of the seal, the nobility Yun Yun had acquired from holding a high position for so long gradually faded whenever she spoke with Xiao Kun.

Their cohabitation-like life in the cave passed peacefully for two days.

At noon on the third day, Xiao Kun did as he had for the previous two days. After leaving an Energy Clone behind to guard the cave, he prepared to search for medicinal herbs.

An hour later, having spent half the day searching north of the cave without finding any medicinal herbs, Xiao Kun decided to look to the south.

On his way south, he happened to pass by Xiao Kun's cave. From the air, he also took the opportunity to inspect the surroundings, checking whether he had missed any magical beasts.

Just as his gaze swept over a pool beside the small stream next to the cave, he suddenly caught sight of a flash of white.

At the sudden sight, Xiao Kun froze in midair.

At that moment, Yun Yun, who was bathing below, also spotted Xiao Kun standing dumbfounded in the air.

In truth, the moment Yun Yun heard someone flying overhead, she hurried toward the shore.

As she prayed that the person would not fly this way and ran toward the bank to get dressed, she heard the whistling of flight draw closer and closer. In the end, it stopped directly above her.

Startled, she looked up and saw Xiao Kun in the air.

To be honest, if it had been an ordinary Dou Emperor, Yun Yun might still have had time to get dressed. But with the boost from his Peng Wings, Xiao Kun's flying speed was several times faster than that of an ordinary Dou Emperor, so...

After seeing Xiao Kun in the air, Yun Yun froze for a moment as well. Then she let out a scream and began covering herself frantically with both hands.

At that scream, Xiao Kun instantly came back to his senses. While shouting, "I didn't see anything!" he directly flew back in the direction he had come from.

As he passed the cave, Xiao Kun spotted his clone emerging from a hidden spot beside it, wearing an expression of admiration. A flash of embarrassed anger rose in his mind, and he immediately used a Secret Art to retrieve it.

After examining the memories it sent back, Xiao Kun finally learned that for the past few days, he had always gone out at noon and returned only at dusk.

Girls loved beauty, and Yun Yun was no exception.

Taking advantage of the time he was out, she had thought that she had not bathed in several days and decided to wash up. She had never expected to run into Xiao Kun passing by.

As for the clone, after hearing Yun Yun's intention to bathe, it had not interfered.

Instead, it had come down from its high position and hidden somewhere else to avoid seeing anything it should not see.

Yet despite all those precautions, the main body had seen it directly.

After reviewing the memories, Xiao Kun felt even more embarrassed. Standing where he was, he did not know how to face Yun Yun.

After a while, Xiao Kun heard a series of footsteps. Thinking Yun Yun had returned, his muddled mind immediately cleared, and he hurriedly found a place to hide.

As the footsteps drew closer, Xiao Kun saw Yun Yun's face, flushed with both embarrassment and anger. Of course, the anger far outweighed the embarrassment.

In particular, her beautiful eyes even glimmered with tears.
