The two ate their food in small bites in the cave to replenish the energy they had used up that day.
Gradually, the temperature began to drop.
A cold wind was blowing where the two were, occasionally giving them goosebumps.
Wan Qingyun reached out her hand, and her True Qi surged into the ground.
"Splash!"
Wan Qingyun flicked her wrist, and a piece of earth and stone was suddenly lifted up, blocking the entrance to the cave.
"How is it? It shouldn't be so cold now, right?" Wan Qingyun asked softly.
"Is it really that amazing?" Jiang Junyi exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene.
Without the Heart of Shadow, he couldn't do this; he could only shatter the earth.
"It's alright~" Wan Qingyun smiled. "By the way, Junyi, do we have any fire?"
"Yes, I'll look for it."
Now that the cave has been sealed off, it's completely dark inside.
Jiang Junyi rummaged through his bag and pulled out a small light bulb.
"Thud"
The cave was suddenly illuminated, reflecting light onto the two people's faces.
"How long can this last?" Wan Qingyun asked curiously.
Jiang Junyi revealed a smug smile, "That's amazing! 200 hours of super long battery life! Mom no longer has to worry about me being afraid of the dark!"
Wan Qingyun covered her mouth and laughed.
It was clearly a very dangerous situation, but with Jiang Junyi there, it didn't seem so scary.
Wan Qingyun stared at the lamplight, lost in thought for a while.
What are you thinking about?
Wan Qingyun turned her head. "Junyi, don't you have anything to ask me?"
Jiang Junyi smiled mysteriously.
Wan Qingyun:?
"What... does this mean?"
Jiang Junyi did not answer that question, but instead asked a question that seemed completely unrelated.
" Qingyun, are you cold?"
Wan Qingyun didn't understand why Jiang Junyi asked this question, but she still obediently answered.
A little.
Jiang Junyi put his arm around Wan Qingyun's waist, pulling her close to him.
"Don't blink."
"Call--!"
The Heart of Shadow instantly unfolded, covering Jiang Junyi's upper body.
The messy shadows that shrouded his face suddenly appeared!
Jiang Junyi watched as Wan Qingyun's expression gradually changed from confusion to shock, and eventually, she seemed to freeze up.
Roughly (°ー°)——(☉_☉)——(?Д?≡?Д?)
" My Lord of Destiny, what are your orders?"
Shadow voice, both edgy and somewhat magical, echoed through the cave.
"You! You! You you you!" Wan Qingyun stared wide-eyed, momentarily speechless.
Jiang Junyi pinched Wan Qingyun's chin. " Lord of Destiny?"
"You are... Shadow?!" Wan Qingyun exclaimed in disbelief.
"Uh-huh."
Jiang Junyi wiped away the messy shadows from his face, revealing Wan Qingyun's familiar face.
"Surprised?! Unexpected?!"
Wan Qingyun paused for a moment, then grabbed Jiang Junyi's soft flesh at the waist.
It seems that girls are naturally gifted in this area.
"Hmm!"
"You bastard Jiang Junyi! Did you know all along?!"
"Hiss... yes..."
Isn't it fun to see me kept in the dark?
"It's... it's alright..."
"Good?!"
"Ahhh! No, no, I just wanted to let loose a bit! And..."
"And what?"
Jiang Junyi's voice suddenly became incredibly affectionate. "Besides, don't you think it's romantic to secretly protect the person you love?"
"Romantic my foot! If something happens to you, I won't know anything about it!"
Wan Qingyun launched into a tirade of insults.
Suddenly she paused, remembering Jiang Junyi's weakened state that day.
"Ah~ So you were so weak one time because you killed Lin Xiu the day before, right?"
"Uh, yes."
"And that time you said you had something to do, that you went abroad on a mission, right?"
"Um..."
" Jiang Junyi!"
"Oops!"
"Hmm!"
Jiang Junyi didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to shut Wan Qingyun up first.
After a long while, their lips parted.
"Calm down," Jiang Junyi said with a smile.
Wan Qingyun's turbulent emotions seemed to have calmed down a bit, and her face flushed slightly.
Why is it red?
Because Jiang Junyi is in the Shadow at this moment!
Her subordinate suddenly became her husband, and even forcibly kissed her.
"You... you're so bad... this is insubordination..." Wan Qingyun whispered.
"Huh? When I'm in Shadow, I'm very well-behaved, I don't tease or play pranks on you."
Upon hearing this, Wan Qingyun feigned a fierce expression and said, "If I didn't know you were Shadow, and you dared to do that, I would have killed you that very day!"
"Hmm~ Your Lord of Destiny is so dignified~"
"You! You're not allowed to use that tone!"
She felt so ashamed when Jiang Junyi said " Lord of Destiny "!
Haha! Okay, okay~
Jiang Junyi hugged Wan Qingyun tightly and whispered, "Anyway, it was definitely my fault for keeping it from you..."
Wan Qingyun also whispered, "I... I kept it from you too..."
There is no right or wrong in this matter; keeping it a secret does not mean that you do not trust the other party.
It's just that everyone has their own considerations.
"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?" Wan Qingyun suddenly pulled away from Jiang Junyi's chest, looking at him suspiciously.
I have a feeling that this guy is hiding something else.
Jiang Junyi scratched his cheek. Should he really say this?
Wan Qingyun squinted and leaned closer to Jiang Junyi: "Jiang, Jun, Yi?"
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
"You actually have one!"
"You haven't finished speaking yet!"
Wan Qingyun grabbed Jiang Junyi by the collar and said angrily, "Speak up!"
"Actually, I have people working at the Star Luo Orphanage..."
"Ha?!"
"Just three! Three!"
" Wang Hao, Liu Liu, Qiqi?"
"Hold head high..."
"Damn it! Do you think this is a winery?"
"It's a little better than a winery, right?"
Wan Qingyun stood to the side, baring her teeth and making faces for a while, before finally saying in a deflated tone, "So you've been helping me all along?"
"Well, it's nothing. It would be foolish not to use resources when you have them."
Jiang Junyi patted Wan Qingyun's head.
"Moreover, this is a good thing for Wang Hao. They have been stuck at the peak of the Xiantian Realm for a long time. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't know when they would be able to break through to the Lesser Grandmaster Realm."
Wan Qingyun's eyes lit up. "So, these three of your people have completely become part of the Black Palace?"
Jiang Junyi pinched Wan Qingyun's nose. "What's the difference?"
"Too."
Thinking of this, Wan Qingyun couldn't help but punch Jiang Junyi: "You bastard!"
Jiang Junyi hugged Wan Qingyun tightly. "I'm so glad I have this ability..."
Wan Qingyun was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then pressed herself tightly against Jiang Junyi's chest. "Yes..."
She was also very grateful that she was the Fate Lord and had abilities that ordinary people did not have.
"So what are we? Mr. and Mrs. Smith?"
"Hehe, more or less, or perhaps it could be called—My other half is actually a hidden master?"
The two leaned against each other, laughing softly.
A gust of cold wind blew in, and Jiang Junyi felt Wan Qingyun tremble.
Night has fallen...
Jiang Junyi unleashed Shadow, enveloping Wan Qingyun.
"Sleep now, my Lord of Destiny."
"You! You're not allowed to shout here!"
"Okay, okay~"
"Go and get some rest."
"Snort!"
"Tsk, Lord of Destiny is too cute. Let me disobey you a little more."
"No... you, uh!"
