Yun Yun: If You Just Move Your Hands a Little More, It'll Be Yours! "A Small Gift"?

"D-Dou Huang Expert???"

Ge Ye, Nalan Yanran, and Xiao Yi Xian all shuddered when they felt the aura suddenly erupt from the woods.

This aura was simply too powerful!

So powerful that the moment it spread, all the magical beasts that had surrounded them were frightened into scattering and fleeing.

It took only an instant.

The life-and-death crisis from moments ago had already been resolved.

Ge Ye's lips trembled as he looked at Xiao Xun'er again, his nerves stretched to the limit.

This mysterious young woman actually had a Dou Huang Expert by her side!

Just how terrifying must her identity be?

No wonder she had dared to come here with them. So this was her trump card!

Wait!

Then how had Qi Yan'er known there was a Dou Huang Expert beside Xiao Xun'er?

She had been with this old man the whole time. How had she discovered it?

Little monsters!

Each one was more terrifying than the last!

"Hehe~"

After seeing all the magical beasts flee, Qi Yan'er clapped her little hands.

"Done!"

Ling Ying: (⊙o⊙)...

What had she done? Wasn't it this old man who had taken care of everything?

Qi Yan'er turned around and looked at the erected tents.

"Looks like we'll have to camp here for the night and head back tomorrow!"

Camp??

Hearing that word, everyone's mouths twitched instinctively.

That was right!

For everyone else, coming here meant risking their lives, but for her, it really was just camping!

Deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, inside a cave.

Leaning against the cold stone wall, Qi Fan glanced once more at Yun Yun, who was warming herself by the fire.

He could not help but sigh inwardly.

This place really isn't as comfortable as hers!

Shaking his head, Qi Fan stopped letting his thoughts wander and closed his eyes.

He recovered his Dou Qi while resting his mind.

The moment Qi Fan closed his eyes, Yun Yun's beautiful gaze immediately fell upon him.

This man, whose mouth was harder than any part of his body, was truly mysterious!

He clearly possessed strength that she could not see through.

Then why had he been reduced to such a sorry state by a few low-level magical beasts earlier?

Could it be that he had done something she did not know about after leaving her?

Unable to figure it out, Yun Yun stopped thinking about it.

She knew very well that if this man did not want to say something, it was useless no matter how badly she wanted to know.

Her slender jade-like legs slowly crossed, and then her eyes gradually closed as well. She began slowly breaking through the seal.

After they got out, she did not want to become Qi Fan's burden.

If possible, she wanted even more to protect him in his current weakened state. After all, she was a Dou Huang Expert, wasn't she?

She simply refused to admit defeat!

"Go to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, you'll have forgotten everything."

As the cave gradually fell silent, Qi Fan, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, slowly opened them after a long while.

Turning his head, Qi Fan looked at Yun Yun, who resembled a sleeping beauty, and slowly rose to his feet.

When he came before her, his gaze slowly swept over her elegant, captivating curves before finally settling on her breathtakingly beautiful face, her willow-leaf brows slightly furrowed.

He had to admit that she was truly beautiful.

Beautiful enough to make one unable to refuse!

If he had not gone through what he had a few years ago, how could he have remained so unmoved earlier?

"Ah~"

Qi Fan let out a helpless sigh, then immediately turned and walked over to the pile of extinguished firewood.

Whoosh!

As the flames rose, warmth once again filled the slightly chilly cave.

While Qi Fan busied himself, Yun Yun had already opened her eyes.

She neither moved nor spoke, simply enjoying this warm atmosphere.

How wonderful would it be if things could go on like this forever?

Her jade-like hand caressed the long robe on her body, and her heart warmed along with it.

"You're awake?"

Once Qi Fan finished grilling the fish, his gaze fell on Yun Yun.

Seeing that she was awake, he spoke calmly.

"Mhm!"

Yun Yun nodded lightly, sweetness lingering on her face.

"Come eat something. We'll leave after we're done. Oh, right~"

As he spoke, Qi Fan suddenly remembered something.

"When we go out, you can't keep dressing like this. If you've recovered some Dou Qi, take out your own clothes from your Storage Ring and change."

"Can I take that to mean you're afraid someone will see me when we go out? Are you... jealous?"

Yun Yun pursed her red lips, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled.

"Wear it or don't."

His usual irritable response entered Yun Yun's ears.

"Hmph~"

Yun Yun gave a light snort.

"You don't seriously think I like wearing your shabby robe, do you?"

"As many robes like this as I want, I can have."

Qi Fan's expression darkened at her words, and he held out his hand.

"Good. If you don't like it, give it back."

"No!"

Seeing that Qi Fan wanted it back, Yun Yun immediately turned away haughtily.

"The more you want it, the less I'm giving it to you!"

"You woman!"

Qi Fan's brows furrowed tightly. Angered, he immediately rose to his feet.

"Are you giving it back or not? If not, don't blame me for taking it by force!"

"Then come and take it~"

Yun Yun did not care in the slightest. Perhaps having learned Qi Fan's hand gesture earlier in the cave, she actually...

(￣▽￣)╭∩╮

Qi Fan: (へ╬)??

Qi Fan could endure such a gesture, but Fan Emperor could not!

Completely enraged, Qi Fan darted before Yun Yun with a whoosh, and the instant he reached out with both hands, he grabbed hold of his own robe!

But...

He froze in an instant!

For no other reason than that he was gripping the collar of "his own" robe with both hands.

In that position, everything Yun Yun had been concealing was exposed to the air!

Even with the ribbons from earlier serving as bandages, how could they possibly hide such an imposing scale that seemed ready to burst forth?

"Gulp~"

At the sight, Qi Fan's "anger" instantly flared sky-high. After swallowing hard, he hurriedly lowered his hands and turned his back to her.

"Y-You can wear it for now!"

"Pfft~"

Seeing Qi Fan like this, Yun Yun could not help laughing behind him.

"What? Are you scared?"

"Actually, if you just move your hands a little more, it'll be yours!"

"..."

Hearing those words, Qi Fan's body trembled violently.

She was not talking about the robe at all. She was clearly talking about herself...

"Perhaps!"

Qi Fan did not dare turn around, merely staring ahead.

"The fish... is done!"

With that, Qi Fan picked up a grilled fish and walked toward the cave entrance.

"I'll go outside. Once you've changed, I'll come back in to get you."

"Okay~"

Looking at Qi Fan's retreating back, Yun Yun's heart felt strangely empty.

She did not know what was wrong with her.

She clearly was not this kind of person, yet before this man, she had become so forward that she no longer seemed like herself at all!

The warm morning light shone upon Qi Fan as he stepped out of the cave.

As he ate the grilled fish, he could not help sighing.

"Why is this fish not even as good as hers? It really has no flavor at all."

A moment later.

"I'm ready. You can come in now~"

Hearing the crisp, pleasant female voice from within the cave, Qi Fan slowly walked inside.

Yun Yun was now sitting cross-legged, the strange long sword resting flat across her lap.

She had taken off the black robe and changed into a simple snow-white dress. The Phoenix Hairpin that had looked somewhat lazy atop her head had been gathered back into place, giving her an air of nobility.

Her elegant, refined face stood in stark contrast to the frailty she had shown earlier.

She... had changed back?

That was good too!

Qi Fan looked at Yun Yun and smiled faintly.

"Looks like you're ready. Before we leave the cave, I'll give you a small gift!"

"A small gift?"

Yun Yun's delicate brows furrowed, and her heart, which had only just calmed down, began pounding wildly again.

He had even prepared a gift for me!

"I'm looking forward to it!"

"It's this."

Qi Fan reached into his robes and pulled out a violet crystal.

"This is... an Amethyst Spirit Crystal!!!"
