The Tree Hole

Shi Yan slowly moved off Di Ya Lan, pulled up his pants, and sat down to regulate his breathing.

Di Ya Lan lay limply on the ground, her entire body flushed. After a long while, she finally came to her senses. Blushing, she pulled her short leather skirt up and slowly sat down properly in the tree hollow.

The three of them resumed their original positions.

Mu Yu Die recovered first. Blushing, her beautiful eyes darted between Shi Yan and Di Ya Lan, as if waiting for something.

Shi Yan's expression was calm. He closed his eyes, focusing on digesting the strange power from the Essence, guiding it to flow slowly through his body, not letting go of any opportunity to improve his strength.

He had clearly felt before that the purified strange power within his acupoints had split into two. One part merged into his Essence, and the other part merged into his vital essence, flowing into Di Ya Lan's body.

Di Ya Lan didn't open her eyes, but she knew Mu Yu Die was looking at her. Ashamed, she didn't dare to open them, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

Shi Yan had forcefully taken her in this tree hollow in front of Mu Yu Die, yet she hadn't resisted too fiercely. In the middle, she had even acted so… so shamelessly. Although she was naturally forthright, she couldn't withstand such madness. She was so ashamed she didn't know how to face Mu Yu Die.

A strange power slowly emanated from her sensitive lower body. Her body trembled, and Di Ya Lan almost cried out again.

She shifted uncomfortably and slowly breathed, concentrating to examine herself.

Upon careful examination, Di Ya Lan discovered that a portion of the strange power was slowly flowing towards her lower abdomen, while another portion was rooting itself in the meridians and flesh of her chest, seemingly quietly changing that area.

She could clearly feel the bones, flesh, and meridians in her chest undergoing an incomprehensible transformation.

The strange power that surged into her lower abdomen mixed with her Essence, releasing a torrent of energy.

Her Essence surged!

Di Ya Lan's beautiful body trembled, and she hurriedly focused all her attention, guiding the transformed Essence to circulate through her body along a special trajectory.

The moonlight was bright, casting light into the tree hollow, making it not so dark.

Shi Yan slowly woke up, inhaling deeply.

The Second Heaven realm!

With the help of that strange power, he had advanced further, smoothly breaking through to the Second Heaven realm.

After waking up, he found that the wound on his shoulder no longer hurt. The damaged bones and meridians were slowly repairing themselves with the help of his Undying Martial Soul.

At this rate, he would recover completely in a few days.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw a pair of bright eyes gazing intently at him. When he looked over, those eyes quickly shifted away.

"Miss Mu, why aren't you sleeping?" Shi Yan asked calmly, his expression at ease.

Seeing Shi Yan open his eyes, Mu Yu Die, who had been hastily avoiding his gaze, turned her head. Her charming face was flushed a captivating red. She huffed, "You guys were making so much noise, how could I possibly sleep?"

"Heh, I'm really sorry for disturbing you. I'll be more careful next time." Shi Yan gave an awkward chuckle and naturally explained, "The strange illness in my body suddenly flared up, and I lost control of myself. Damn it."

"You dare say you were unconscious the whole time?" Mu Yu Die sneered coldly and huffed, "I was watching you closely. Later, later you were definitely conscious! Otherwise, otherwise your movements wouldn't have been so, so..."

Mu Yu Die's face was red, but she couldn't continue. She had personally seen Shi Yan perform many tricks.

A person who had lost consciousness wouldn't remember so many tricks while doing that. She was certain Shi Yan had woken up much earlier.

"Uh..." Shi Yan was stunned. After a long pause, he gave a wry smile, "So Miss Mu was watching intently. Then I won't explain anything. I was indeed a scoundrel."

"You? How can there be someone like you!" Mu Yu Die resentfully pinched Shi Yan's thigh. Shi Yan cooperated by crying out loudly in pain.

Seeing Shi Yan grit his teeth and cry out in pain, Mu Yu Die felt a little better. She glanced over and saw Di Ya Lan with her eyes closed, lying there motionless with a flushed face.

She felt a surge of anger again and unexpectedly slapped Di Ya Lan's leg hard.

Di Ya Lan, with a guilty conscience, trembled violently but still kept her eyes tightly shut. She mistakenly thought Shi Yan was messing with her and cursed him inwardly, calling him a scoundrel for daring to tease her at a time like this.

"Sister Lan, how long are you going to pretend to be asleep? Your face is completely red. Are you still pretending to be cultivating? Do you think we're idiots and can't see anything?" Mu Yu Die pouted, shouting indignantly.

"Ah!" Di Ya Lan let out a soft cry and reluctantly opened her eyes, saying awkwardly, "... I, I just woke up too. What, what were you guys just talking about?"

Mu Yu Die suddenly fell silent. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly, constantly darting between Di Ya Lan and Shi Yan, with a very clear meaning: Are you still going to pretend like nothing happened?

Under Mu Yu Die's aggressive gaze, Shi Yan remained composed, his expression unchanged. His skin was thick enough to build a wall, as if nothing had happened.

He could feel that Di Ya Lan didn't seem to mind this matter too much. In fact, she even seemed a little infatuated. Knowing that Di Ya Lan wouldn't be devastated, he wasn't worried at all.

Di Ya Lan couldn't do what he did. Under Mu Yu Die's questioning gaze, she hesitated, but still felt she should show some anger, otherwise it would be too shameless.

Although, although she had also experienced unspeakable pleasure, a wonderful sensation that her man had never given her in life.

"You little brat!" Di Ya Lan suddenly stood up, pointing at Shi Yan, and shouted angrily, "What did you just do to me? How could you do that?"

"Keep your voice down, don't attract any Yao Beasts. Also, people from the Dark Nether are still chasing us," Shi Yan reminded her.

"Oh." Di Ya Lan nodded, her imposing manner completely gone. She lowered her voice, "You scoundrel, what do you propose we do?"

Seeing her reaction, Shi Yan immediately confirmed his judgment. He knew she really didn't mind the matter too much. The reason she stood up to accuse him was simply due to her sense of propriety as a woman.

A thought struck him, and Shi Yan devised a plan. He put on a pained expression, drooped his head, and looked genuinely remorseful. He honestly said, "I was wrong. Sister Lan, what do you propose we do?"

Di Ya Lan was stunned. She stood there racking her brain. She had only stood up to scold Shi Yan a couple of times out of embarrassment and hadn't really thought about how to deal with him. Shi Yan's interruption caught her off guard, and she was momentarily bewildered.

"How about you hit him a few times?" Mu Yu Die's pretty face was filled with amusement. She tentatively suggested, "I can see now that my Sister Lan never intended to call for his head or anything."

"Okay, I should hit him a few times." Di Ya Lan nodded fiercely and said, "Once his injuries are healed, I will definitely teach him a good lesson. I guarantee you'll be satisfied, Xiao Die!"

Mu Yu Die rolled her eyes, utterly speechless. What did this have to do with her? Why would it concern her at all? Was he lecturing him purely to make her feel better?

"You guys handle it, I'm going to sleep." Mu Yu Die finally realized she was sticking her nose where it didn't belong. She muttered quietly, "Dry wood and raging fire, dry wood and raging fire, there's always been passion, always been passion. Pitiful me, not only has my soul been poisoned, but my eyes have been defiled..."

Her muttering wasn't loud, but the three were close together, and Di Ya Lan and Shi Yan naturally heard everything.

Shi Yan chuckled, closing his eyes to rest.

Di Ya Lan, however, couldn't stand it. She let out a soft "tsk" and cursed, "You little brat!"

Mu Yu Die opened her eyes and glanced at her sideways, humming. "You two be good tonight, I'm really going to sleep. Please don't make a fuss, I really can't take it."

Di Ya Lan's face flushed crimson. "Got it, go to sleep, you little brat!"
