Living Together in the Cave III

Yun Yun was clearly extremely agitated right now. Better not go out and face her yet.

He would hide for a while, let Yun Yun calm down and settle her emotions, then return at night!

With that thought, Xiao Kun unconsciously concealed himself even more carefully.

And so, Xiao Kun hid in the shadows and watched Yun Yun stagger somewhat unsteadily into the cave.

As for Yun Yun, her current mood could only be described as wanting to cry without tears.

She had not expected herself to be so unlucky. She had merely gone a few days without bathing and wanted to take a bath while Xiao Kun was away, only for him to happen to see her.

Even now, recalling what had just happened still left her feeling unbearably depressed.

The body she had preserved for so many years had, in that tiny pool, somehow been seen by a boy much younger than herself.

Given the awkwardness between them, Yun Yun had originally not planned to return to the cave. But then she remembered that she was currently too weak to even restrain a chicken, so she shamelessly came back anyway.

Walking slowly back into the cave, she swept her gaze around and found that Xiao Kun had not returned. Yun Yun could not help but let out a sigh of relief before casually finding a chair and sitting down.

Since she did not know how to face Xiao Kun right now, it was better that he was not in the cave.

Sitting limply in the chair, Yun Yun bit down hard on her red lips with pearly teeth. Her lovely face shifted between light and shadow, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Time slowly passed. An hour later, while Xiao Kun and Yun Yun were still each caught in their own tangled thoughts, two wolf howls suddenly rang out beside the pool where Yun Yun had bathed earlier.

Hearing the wolf howls nearby, Xiao Kun froze, then realized that the magical beasts had likely been drawn by the scent Yun Yun had left behind while bathing.

He immediately spread his golden Peng Wings and gave them a slight flap. In the span of a breath, he arrived above the small pool.

Seeing the two third-tier wolf-like magical beasts on the ground, Xiao Kun relaxed and directly flung out two Fire Snakes as thick as arms.

The Fire Snakes were incredibly fast. Before the two wolf-like magical beasts could react, they flashed to their sides like lightning.

With a sweep of their tails, accompanied by a dense series of cracking bones, the wolf-like magical beasts were violently sent flying backward. They scraped across the ground for dozens of meters before gradually coming to a stop.

By then, the two wolf-like magical beasts were already breathing out more than they were breathing in.

Xiao Kun easily dealt with the two magical beasts that had detected the scent.

He thought that this meant he could change his plan. There was no need to wait until night to return; he could go back to the cave now.

At least the appearance of these two magical beasts gave him something to say. He could even exaggerate the consequences of their arrival.

That way, he could brush aside the matter of accidentally seeing Yun Yun bathe today and ease the awkward atmosphere between them.

Looking at the familiar cave entrance before him, Xiao Kun unexpectedly felt somewhat timid. Only after taking another deep breath did he slowly walk into the cave.

His gaze swept across the cave, yet he did not find Yun Yun, who had entered long ago.

Just as a trace of doubt rose in Xiao Kun's heart, his vast Soul Power sensed Yun Yun behind him.

He had just wanted to turn around and greet her when he sensed Yun Yun raising the longsword in her hand and placing it against his neck.

Although Xiao Kun could have dodged, he did not.

First, with Yun Yun's current strength, even if she held a sword to his neck, she could not harm him.

Second, Yun Yun would not truly hurt him. She probably only wanted to vent her frustration and scare him a little.

As Xiao Kun's thoughts turned, his neck suddenly felt cold. A strange longsword, emanating a faint chill, pressed tightly against his throat.

Pretending to be somewhat frightened, Xiao Kun glanced back from the corner of his eye and saw Yun Yun in a black robe standing behind him with a longsword in hand, her lovely face icy.

Seeing this, Xiao Kun slowly raised his hands and gave a wry smile as though explaining himself. "That was an accident. I didn't expect it to turn out like this!"

At his words, a flush rose on Yun Yun's icy face. She thought viciously, Even if it was an accident, does that mean my body, which I kept pure for so many years, was just seen for nothing?

Her beautiful eyes flickered, yet the longsword in Yun Yun's hand did not move in the slightest.

Seeing that Yun Yun did not reply, Xiao Kun could only continue, "You heard those wolf howls just now, right? Those were magical beasts drawn here by the scent you gave off while bathing.

"If I had returned at dusk as usual, wouldn't you have been in danger? So I saved you again, didn't I?"

Since Yun Yun did not know that Xiao Kun had long since sent a clone to protect her in secret, his words did make some sense to her.

As she considered Xiao Kun's words, the icy look in Yun Yun's eyes softened slightly. After a long while, she let out a defeated sigh.

She weakly withdrew her sword and walked deeper into the cave. As she passed Xiao Kun, she said lightly, "Let's pretend today's matter never happened."

Standing where he was, Xiao Kun looked at Yun Yun's graceful and alluring retreating figure. He took a deep breath as if gathering his courage, then said firmly, "I will take responsibility for you!"

Hearing the boy's declaration behind her, which sounded like an oath, Yun Yun's delicate body paused as an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

Thinking of how outstanding the boy was, he was indeed more than qualified to take responsibility for her. A trace of temptation unexpectedly arose in her heart.

Feeling that terrifying thought suddenly emerge within her, Yun Yun was startled as well.

Yet she still said nothing. She merely found a stone platform, sat cross-legged upon it, and closed her eyes to dissolve the seal amid her complicated emotions.

Seeing that Yun Yun said nothing, Xiao Kun first felt a trace of disappointment, followed by a surge of relief. After all, not objecting was also a form of agreement!

He then found an empty spot and began cultivating.

As the two fell silent, the cave sank into a quiet and awkward atmosphere.

The silence continued until midnight, when a rumble sounded from Yun Yun's stomach.

Xiao Kun opened his eyes and saw Yun Yun's cheeks turn crimson, while even her tender earlobes had become hot and red.

He could not help but smile. Then he cleared his throat and said, "Ah, I seem to be a little hungry. Let's roast two chickens! Yun Zhi, remember to come eat later!"

Yun Yun, who was pretending to still be dissolving the seal nearby, could not help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart.

As a Dou Emperor herself, she knew that a Dou Emperor like Xiao Kun, with ample Dou Qi, could go ten or twenty days without eating without any problem.

She opened her eyes and returned to her usual tone. "All right."

After a while, Xiao Kun cut a roasted chicken into pieces and placed it before Yun Yun.

Looking at the boy's gentle smile, a softness flashed through Yun Yun's eyes. After quietly thanking him, she began to eat in small, delicate bites.

Perhaps the delicious food helped Yun Yun relax somewhat. After swallowing a bite, she said softly, "Tomorrow, I should be able to break the seal."

Xiao Kun's mouth, which had been chewing heartily, suddenly froze. After swallowing his food, he let out a soft sigh. He thought that it would be much harder to have another chance for such intimate contact in the future.
