Living Together in a Cave (Part 2)

Life in the cave passed peacefully for two days. Over those two days, the relationship between the two of them improved by leaps and bounds, and their mutual affection grew considerably.

However, on the third day, it was shattered by a sudden wolf howl.

Having just finished lunch in the cave, Xiao Yi Xian's expression abruptly changed when she heard the wolf howl coming from nearby outside. Seeming to remember something, she hurriedly rose to her feet and exchanged a glance with Yun Yun.

"How were we discovered?"

"Could it be...?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Yun Yun strangely. Could this woman have gone out to...

As countless thoughts raced through Xiao Yi Xian's mind, she suddenly caught sight of the apology in Yun Yun's eyes. She froze slightly, then understood and said with a bitter smile, "Don't tell me you went out to bathe?"

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's strange gaze, a guilty flush rose to Yun Yun's pretty face. She fidgeted and said quietly, "Sorry, I... went out to bathe today."

Hearing that, Xiao Yi Xian was left speechless. I haven't even bathed, yet you dared to go out before recovering?

Honestly... Xiao Yi Xian said flatly, "Stay here and don't move around. I'll go deal with that Magical Beast."

"Y-your strength... I'd better go." Seeing Xiao Yi Xian turn to leave, Yun Yun felt even guiltier and hurriedly stood up.

She had indeed been feeling rather uncomfortable these past few days. As someone who cared deeply about her appearance, she ultimately could not resist going out for a bath.

Xiao Yi Xian turned back and gave Yun Yun a reassuring look. The Sword Box on her back trembled, and with a clear sword cry, a silver-white sword flew from its sheath.

Holding You Su, Xiao Yi Xian walked out step by step. With every step, her cultivation rose higher and higher, finally stopping at one-star Da Dou Shi.

Yun Yun, watching from behind, was somewhat astonished. A Da Dou Shi at such a young age?

Had her eyes deceived her? Had her senses been wrong?

Even Nalan Yanran, the most outstanding disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, was only a nine-star Dou Zhe now...

Once Xiao Yi Xian stepped outside, she saw a Third-Rank Magical Beast beneath the waterfall—a Silver Moon Wolf!

The Silver Moon Wolf immediately let out a howl upon seeing Xiao Yi Xian. "Awooo!"

"Not good!"

Xiao Yi Xian could sense a large wolf pack closing in from all around. Wolves were never solitary creatures; what they relied on was usually ganging up on their prey!

The Purple Cloud Wings spread behind Xiao Yi Xian's back. In an instant, she arrived beside the Silver Moon Wolf, and You Su in her hand slashed out at once.

Bang!

The massive claw scraped against You Su, sending sparks flying!

Xiao Yi Xian glanced at the wolf pack constantly closing in around her. With a flap of her Purple Cloud Wings, she evaded the Silver Moon Wolf's pounce.

She leaped forward, skimming over the ground toward the distance. This was absolutely not a good place to fight.

Awooo!

A Fourth-Rank Silver Moon Wolf King suddenly appeared. With a howl, countless wolves madly chased after Xiao Yi Xian.

A purple figure flashed swiftly through the forest, pursued by countless wolves behind her. Their long fangs continuously tore through the brush blocking their path.

After making several turns, Xiao Yi Xian hid herself away. The Sword Box concealed her aura, and even several Shadow Moon Wolves that passed by failed to discover her.

"Phew!"

Xiao Yi Xian let out a breath of relief. She had not expected there to be a Fourth-Rank Magical Beast. Given her current strength, it was fortunate she had not confronted it head-on from the start.

With her Poison Body, she might have been able to hold her own against a Fourth-Rank Magical Beast for a while, but the Wolf King had quite a few underlings beside it.

Xiao Yi Xian carefully crept through the grass when a familiar wolf howl suddenly sounded ahead!

Parting the grass, Xiao Yi Xian looked over and discovered a familiar figure. That was right—it was Xiao Yan, that unlucky fellow!

Though she had no idea why Xiao Yan was here, the wolves were ganging up on him.

Xiao Yi Xian carefully closed the grass back over herself and quietly left. Although she was somewhat surprised that Xiao Yan had already reached the Dou Shi realm, returning was the priority.

She believed Xiao Yan would not kick the bucket. Medicine Elder was there, after all!

She had already been out for quite some time. What if Yun Yun suddenly ran out?

That woman's cultivation was still sealed!

"Medicine Elder, why are these wolves attacking me?"

Xiao Yan held the Black Heavy Ruler and swallowed a mouthful of blood, utterly confused. He had only just arrived in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, and he had never killed any wolf cubs.

Why were these wolves ganging up on him?

Medicine Elder was also rather puzzled as he watched the scene. He had no idea what was happening either, and there was even a Fourth-Rank, Dou Ling-level Wolf King lurking in the shadows.

"Sigh, Little Yan, hand control of your body over to me..."

Medicine Elder took over Xiao Yan's body, and white flames instantly surged forth...

By now, Xiao Yi Xian was almost back at the cave. She glanced in Xiao Yan's direction and muttered inwardly, Fellow countryman, don't blame me. You just happened to run into them. I believe you'll be fine. You won't die!

Xiao Yan regained control of his body, and the agonizing pain made him howl miserably.

Medicine Elder also felt somewhat awkward. Xiao Yan's body simply could not withstand his power. To deal with the Silver Moon Wolf King, the burden on Xiao Yan's body had been a little too great.

It reminded him of Xiao Yi Xian back then. She had borrowed his power to fight a Dou Ling, yet she had refused no matter what to let him take control of her body.

Otherwise, it would not have dragged on for so long. It was not as if he had never seen a girl's body before...

Achoo!

Xiao Yi Xian had no idea why she suddenly sneezed. She wondered who was thinking about her. Could it be Yun Yun?

The moment she entered the cave, a beautiful figure suddenly pounced on her and hugged her tightly.

Xiao Yi Xian was held firmly in Yun Yun's embrace, and she could feel Yun Yun's worry.

Holding Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun said anxiously, "Thank goodness you're all right!"

If her cultivation had not been sealed, how could she have allowed the girl before her to take such a risk?

This was the depths of the Monster Beast Mountain Range. No matter how talented she was, a Da Dou Shi's cultivation was still far from enough.

Although not much time had passed, waiting in the cave had inevitably left Yun Yun on edge.

"Mhm."

Xiao Yi Xian softly answered, her face flushing slightly as she felt Yun Yun's figure, so different from her own.

She did not know why the difference between Yun Yun's figure and hers was so great...

The night passed quietly just like that.

Xiao Yi Xian woke from her sleep when a pungent smell suddenly drifted over.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was not a beauty, but a steaming lump of charcoal!

"Uh..."

Seeing the charcoal-black fish Yun Yun held before her, Xiao Yi Xian's face darkened.

Why had Yun Yun grilled fish again?

Could this pitch-black, foul-smelling thing really be eaten?

They were both women, so why was the difference so great?

Glancing at several more charcoal-black fish not far away, Xiao Yi Xian did not know what to say. Yun Yun had even found a fire and roasted them...

Yun Yun's nose was slightly blackened. With an awkward smile, she said to Xiao Yi Xian, "How about... you do it?"
