Yun Yun Was Very Filial, and So Was Xiao Yan

The next day.

On the Green Lotus Throne, Yun Yun's long eyelashes trembled slightly before she slowly opened them.

What comes into view is the rough rock wall at the top of the cave, with a faint firelight flickering on the stone wall.

The moment consciousness returned, the humiliating and infuriating memories from before I lost consciousness surged back like a tidal wave.

His overly filial apprentice removed his inner armor to clean his wounds, but his body reacted inexplicably to the gentle yet chilling touch.

And then there was his final statement, which was practically a cover-up. "Don't take my clothes off..."

Every detail was like a red-hot branding iron, searing into the depths of her soul, making her body tremble slightly.

"Hmm..."

A soft moan, filled with pain and endless shame, escaped uncontrollably from her throat.

She instinctively tried to raise her hand to cover her burning cheeks, but the movement aggravated her internal injuries. The sharp pain made her gasp, but it also brought her fully awake.

The wide black robe covering her seemed to still retain a faint fragrance. She was familiar with this scent; she had smelled it on her little apprentice before she lost consciousness.

She reached out and lifted her black robe, revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin. Looking further down, she finally felt somewhat relieved.

The skirt is still there.

The thought that she had ended up in such an embarrassing situation because of her little apprentice's touch made Yun Yun's skin turn red from head to toe, and even her small earlobes seemed to be bleeding.

By the way, where did the little apprentice go?

She stiffly turned her eyes and saw the figure standing guard beside the lotus platform.

Xiao Yan was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, surrounded by a faint sky-blue Dou Qi, clearly in the middle of cultivation.

The cave was unusually quiet at this moment, with only his steady breathing and the crackling of the campfire.

Yun Yun hadn't really looked at her little apprentice properly in a long time, so she started to scrutinize him.

His handsome profile appeared exceptionally serene in the flickering firelight; his posture was upright, and his aura was deep. Compared to when he left, this child had become much stronger.

But they've also matured a lot.

His facial features have become much more defined. Although he still looks a bit boyish, it's not hard to see that his increasingly resolute features have taken shape. He may not be the most handsome man, but he will definitely be a man who attracts women!

Recalling the speed and force with which Xiao Yan suddenly appeared and pulled her into his arms, Yun Yun understood that Xiao Yan's strength had also increased considerably.

But upon seeing her little apprentice's face, Yun Yun couldn't help but recall that ambiguous kiss from before.

That was my first kiss!

Moreover, if Xiao Yan was doing this to feed her medicine out of desperation, then she was truly bewitched by the illusion, and actually took the initiative to keep kissing her little disciple.

If it weren't for her young apprentice being a virtuous person who took the initiative to wake her up and let her act recklessly, she might have already made a grave mistake by the time she came to her senses!

How can I ever face anyone again?!

Looking at Xiao Yan who was cultivating, Yun Yun's emotions were extremely complicated.

She, the Misty Cloud Sect Master and Dou Huang expert, actually lost her composure like that in front of her little disciple!

How will she face herself after this? How will she confront Xiao Yan?

She desperately wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground, or teleport away from this hellish cave.

However, putting aside her shame for the moment, she knew clearly that everything Xiao Yan did was to save her and help her heal.

She could sense that focused, meticulous, and cautious attitude.

If he hadn't appeared in time, he would probably have been devoured by the monsters long ago.

He not only saved her, but also took great care of her. Even though she was the teacher, she should have taken the initiative to thank her young apprentice.

But...

Recalling her humiliating behavior in front of her apprentice, Yun Yun felt there was no solution to the problem.

The absurd dream and reality overlapped strangely, leaving her in a state of utter confusion.

Why did I dream about Xiao Yan, yet I didn't recognize him? When I asked who he was...?

And why did Xiao Yan ask him what his name was?

Why did they give each other fake names?

Hmm, is it because they don't know each other that they're wary?

But isn't Xiao Yan engaged to Yanran?

Why didn't she and he know each other at all?

How annoying! The content of my dream was just the content, without any background or context. Instead, it created such a strange plot, and in my dazed state, I even ended up taking liberties with my little apprentice!

Thinking of this, her guilt towards Nalan Yanran also appeared like a shadow.

Despite repeatedly reminding myself yesterday that Xiao Yan was just a child.

But...

Who has a kid who's Dou Wang before they're even a teenager?

Is this reasonable?

Even with Yun Yun's keen eye, she couldn't discern what level of Dou Wang Xiao Yan was at!

Judging from Xiao Yan's profound aura, he couldn't possibly be a newly promoted Dou Wang; he must have been Dou Wang for some time now.

But how can I convince myself that Xiao Yan is just a child?

If Xiao Yan were just a child, she naturally wouldn't care about what happened yesterday. What would a child know about matters between men and women?

However, if Xiao Yan is really treated as a child, how can he explain being touched so intimately by a child?

After much thought, Yun Yun began to doubt herself. "Could it be... that I'm really a bad woman? And that I harbor inappropriate feelings for my disciple?"

With this thought in mind, Yun Yun couldn't help but stare at Xiao Yan again.

The child who wasn't even as tall as me back then is now so tall that I have to stand on tiptoe to kiss her...

Wait, why did I kiss him?

No, no!

You can't do that!

Xiao Yan had many close female friends, but none of them were his eldest disciple, Nalan Yanran.

But Yanran really does like him, right?

They're already engaged, so how could she possibly steal her apprentice from her, steal her apprentice's fiancé, or steal her junior apprentice?

By the way, I'm not after my apprentice's fiancé; I just want to help her keep an eye on him. After all, this little apprentice seems to have pretty good luck with men...

Just as Yun Yun's thoughts were churning intensely, Xiao Yan's fluctuating Dou Qi gradually calmed down, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Yun Yun had been staring intently at Xiao Yan, who was also deep in thought and lost in thought!

Their eyes met.

The air froze instantly.

Like a startled fawn, Yun Yun abruptly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling violently. Her body tensed instantly, and she instinctively pulled her black robe tighter, as if to shield herself from those calm eyes that stirred her inner turmoil.

Looking at his teacher's ostrich-like appearance, Xiao Yan shook his head with a headache, but also found it somewhat cute.

He suppressed the rebellious urge to flirt with his teacher, and spoke calmly and respectfully, with a hint of concern, as he smiled and said:

"Teacher, you're awake? How are you feeling? Is your wound still very painful?"

He stood up, walked to the edge of the lotus platform, and kept a distance of about one step, not daring to approach rashly.

Yun Yun kept her eyes tightly closed, not daring to look at him, and let out a barely audible "hmm" from her nose as a response.

Several seconds passed before she managed to utter, in a barely audible, trembling voice, almost forced through clenched teeth, "Clothes... clothes..."

Although she is still weak, she can at least move now, unlike yesterday when she was numb and unable to move.

However, since his Dou Qi was sealed, he was unable to retrieve the clothes from his Storage Ring.

You can't exactly wear a black robe and hang out in mid-air, can you?

If I accidentally expose myself and Xiao Yan sees me, I'll be so embarrassed!

Xiao Yan immediately understood her meaning and quickly said:

"Master, the medicine on your wounds has been applied and is working very well. I haven't touched your clothes. Now that you've woken up, you must be feeling better. I won't bother changing your clothes; I'll go and keep watch outside for you."

After saying that, Xiao Yan took out a white dress from his Storage Ring and handed it to Yun Yun. Then he turned around and walked directly towards the entrance of the cave.

Looking at the elegant white dress, Yun Yun bit her lip, glanced at Xiao Yan's back, and then sat up with the help of the lotus platform. She then tore off her dress and the wet and then dried light green thong with the fastest speed she had ever done.

Then, she grabbed the white dress that Xiao Yan had prepared for her and was about to change into it when the white dress was unfolded, revealing two small undergarments made of very little fabric.

One is a triangular piece of pure white cotton.

One was a small white silk bib embroidered with lotus flower patterns.

This little rascal, how come he even has my daughter's most private clothes!

I bought it when I was shopping with the girls in Utan City.

With a hint of shame and indignation, Yun Yun glared fiercely at Xiao Yan's retreating figure, then bit her red lips and put on the dry, pure cotton triangular cloth, immediately feeling much more comfortable. Afterward, she put on the lotus-patterned bodice.

Although Yun Yun has no parents, she must be a filial person.

Because she took good care of her grandmother.

The bellyband was stretched taut, making it look even more lifelike.

After putting on her inner layer, she touched the scar on her chest again.

It still hurts a little, but it has healed and scabbed over. Given Xiao Yan's Alchemy and filial piety, he shouldn't leave any scars on himself.

However, the soft touch made Yun Yun's thoughts wander again, reminding her of the time Xiao Yan applied medicine to her yesterday.

Having been single for so many years, she had never realized that her body was so strange...

Wait, this dampness!

Yun Yun's expression changed, and she quickly began to put on her skirt.

I can't let my mind wander anymore. I can't let Xiao Yan give me another little triangle of cloth!

Strange, these clothes fit quite well.

After getting dressed, Yun Yun realized that both the inner layer and the entire plain dress seemed to fit her perfectly, as if she had bought them herself...

Could it be that this guy has another woman outside?

No, as Yanran's teacher, I must help investigate this matter thoroughly!

"Little... Xiao Yan, come here for a moment, I have something to ask you."

Yun Yun had wanted to call him "little apprentice," but she had never called him that before, and coupled with yesterday's embarrassing incident, she didn't dare to use that affectionate term anymore.

"Teacher, go ahead and ask."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan knew that Yun Yun had finished changing her clothes. Although based on his experience, he felt that she seemed to be getting dressed a little slowly, Xiao Yan didn't have much experience and didn't want to make wild guesses. He simply kept the matter to himself and turned back to Yun Yun's side.

How did you end up here?

Yun Yun didn't want to ask about women directly, so she decided to take a gradual approach and probe indirectly.

"In truth, your goal is the same as mine."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan touched his nose and responded.

"Just like me?" Yun Yun was taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "The Amethyst Winged Lion King?"

"Yes, I came here for the Companion Amethyst Origin."

Xiao Yan nodded.

"Companion Amethyst Origin?" Yun Yun was slightly puzzled. She had heard of this item, but didn't know much about the actual situation. She could only say, "I came for the Purple Spirit Crystal."

At this point, Yun Yun sighed.

"Actually, I originally intended to use this Purple Spirit Crystal as a birthday gift for you, but I was too busy last year and forgot about it. I was thinking of preparing a surprise for you this year. This Purple Spirit Crystal is quite beneficial for people who cultivate fire attribute techniques, and since you are an alchemist, I'm sure you can make the most of it."

Judging from your aura, you're already a Dou Wang, and not just recently, but for quite some time now. This Purple Spirit Crystal probably won't be of much use to you anymore.

What's more, not only did I fail to obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal, I almost perished here. If you hadn't arrived in time...

Yun Yun didn't continue speaking, but Xiao Yan clearly saw the disappointment and self-blame on the beautiful teacher's face.

"That creature possesses an extremely rare sealing technique, which Master was unaware of and suffered some losses as a result. Now that we know, once Master recovers from his injuries, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for us, master and disciple, to join forces to deal with it? Moreover, Master's Extreme Wind - Meteor Kill is no pushover either; the Lion King's condition shouldn't be much better than yours."

Xiao Yan quickly stepped forward and gently comforted him.

"That's true, but this time it really was a matter of life and death. Oh, and I haven't thanked you yet, teacher. Thank you for your hard work yesterday."

Yun Yun tried her best to maintain the demeanor of a renowned teacher, but her heart was trembling slightly.

She had made up her mind that if her little apprentice dared to flirt with her about what happened yesterday, it would mean that the little rascal had ulterior motives, and she would ignore him from now on. After all, she was quite aware of her little apprentice's ability to seduce women!

"What are you saying!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned and said seriously, "As a disciple, this is what I should do. Once a teacher, always a teacher... well, in short, taking care of you is my responsibility. Besides, even if you weren't my master, I couldn't possibly watch you perish in front of me."

These words made Yun Yun feel very touched.

My little apprentice is indeed a gentleman. Although he has quite a knack for attracting beautiful women, at least he is pure of heart and not the kind of despicable scoundrel.

But was the child trying to say, "A teacher for a day is a father for life"?

But because she was a woman, she didn't continue. After all, if she were to become a mother for life, wouldn't this child be her youngest apprentice and son?

So, what happened yesterday...?

Yun Yun seemed to have pushed open a forbidden door; once the thought arose, it was difficult to extinguish. Instead, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and her gaze towards Xiao Yan changed...

He had a look that made even Xiao Yan feel somewhat uneasy.
