Yun Yun's Embarrassed Rage

Xiao Yao looked at Yun Yun and suddenly thought of something amusing. With a mischievous grin, he said, "Since you've discovered that my background was fake, fine. I'll stop pretending and come clean. Yun Zhi, listen carefully to the story I'm about to tell."

Yun Yun sat with her legs crossed, her hands resting on her lap, displaying her slender, long legs. She looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Oh? Go on, then. I'll listen from the side."

Seeing Yun Yun sitting so properly, Xiao Yao could not help but find it amusing. He cleared his throat and began in a deep, rich voice, "In the northeastern part of the Jia Ma Empire lay an ancient Little Stone Village. There appeared a genius rarely seen in a hundred years. At a young age, his physical body could rival that of a Magic Beast, while his cultivation surpassed all others of his generation."

After hearing this, Yun Yun teased, "Oh, so that outstanding genius was you?"

Xiao Yao pretended to cough and said, "Well, just wait until I finish the story."

"Fine. Let's see what kind of story you can come up with."

Xiao Yao continued, "After that little genius grew up, one day after he turned thirteen, a handsome young man flew toward him on white Dou Qi wings formed behind his back. He stopped above the young boy, and a resounding voice came from his mouth."

"Hey, little fellow, what is your name?"

At that moment, the young boy raised his head and looked at him, a trace of vigilance flashing through his eyes.

He did not know this young man, and the other party was so powerful that he worried he might have some unknown motive. After remaining silent for a while, he said, "My name is Yao Xiao. Why are you looking for me? I don't know you."

The young man looked at the boy and answered with a smile, "I am Yun Shan, Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. I heard that there was an ancient Little Stone Village here, and that a genius who appeared only once in a hundred years had emerged from it. Not only was his physique extraordinary, but his cultivation was unprecedented.

"Now that I see you near Little Stone Village, along with your cultivation and physique—both unmatched by any genius I have ever seen—you must be that person."

The words of Sect Master Yun Shan surprised the young boy. He had not expected his reputation to have already reached the Misty Cloud Sect.

He smiled faintly and humbly shook his head. "Sect Master Yun Shan flatters me. I am merely an ordinary youth who was fortunate enough to receive a few opportunities."

Sect Master Yun Shan looked at the humble expression on the young boy's face, yet his eyes revealed determination and confidence.

A trace of appreciation flashed through Yun Shan's eyes. "Your humility makes me admire you even more. However, I believe your strength is far more than this. Your appearance may be the hope of our Misty Cloud Sect's future."

Upon hearing his words, the young boy could not help feeling somewhat excited.

He knew that receiving the recognition and appreciation of Sect Master Yun Shan was a rare opportunity for him. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and replied earnestly, "Sect Master Yun Shan, I will cultivate diligently and will not disappoint your expectations."

Sect Master Yun Shan nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. I look forward to your growth. If you are willing, I can accept you as my disciple and personally guide your cultivation. Oh, I also have an excellent disciple. She is about your age, and I can betroth her to you—as long as your cultivation reaches the Dou Emperor realm in the future."

Just as Xiao Yao was describing how Yun Shan betrothed his prized disciple to Yan Xiao, Yun Yun, who was listening nearby, suddenly flushed faintly. Her rosy lips turned purple and blue, and her teeth clenched with a rattling sound.

In an instant, Yun Yun grabbed Xiao Yao by the collar and flung him upward. She stretched out her slender jade leg and kicked him squarely in the butt. Her movements were as fast as lightning, and Xiao Yao had no time to react. He only had time to see Yun Yun's beautiful yet furious face before feeling as if he had been struck by a speeding carriage. He shot away and slammed directly into the cave wall.

"Bang!" The tremendous impact made Xiao Yao feel as though his head had been struck by a heavy hammer, leaving his whole body dazed.

He got to his feet and saw Yun Yun's embarrassed, furious expression. He knew that he had indeed gone a little too far.

Xiao Yao rubbed his butt and said to Yun Yun, "Yun Zhi, is this how you treat the person who saved your life? Besides, it's only a story. It's not like you're from the Misty Cloud Sect."

Yun Yun stood some distance away, looking at his bedraggled state with a cold smile. "Yao Xiao, don't think that just because you saved me, you can casually make up someone else's fate. Whether I'm from the Misty Cloud Sect or not, you cannot speak recklessly about another person's marriage."

Xiao Yao scratched his head awkwardly and hurriedly apologized to Yun Yun. "Yun Zhi, that story just now was all fake. Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

Yun Yun immediately turned her head away and said nothing more. Seeing this, Xiao Yao took a filet steak from the system store and placed it in a frying pan. Before long, its aroma filled the air, and Xiao Yao placed the cooked steak before Yun Yun.

When Yun Yun smelled the fragrance, her throat involuntarily moved. She turned to look at Xiao Yao's grinning face and thought, Sigh, forget it. I'll forgive him for this.

Then she said haughtily, "Hmph. For the sake of the food you made yourself, I shall generously forgive you."

Hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Heh, sure enough, no woman can remain reserved in the face of delicious food!

He smiled at Yun Yun. "Haha, Yun Zhi, eat without worry. I promise I'll never make this kind of joke again."

Yun Yun glared at him, though a hint of a smile lingered at the corner of her lips.

She picked up her knife and fork and began enjoying the delicious dinner. Xiao Yao watched her, his heart filled with satisfaction and happiness.

He knew that although this misunderstanding had made things somewhat awkward between them, it had also made them cherish their friendship even more.

After eating too much, Xiao Yao felt a little thirsty. He took out a bottle of icy, refreshing Sprite from his storage ring, opened it, and took several large gulps. He could not help exclaiming, "Wow, this Sprite is so good! It's icy and thirst-quenching!"

After taking a drink, Xiao Yao closed his eyes contentedly and enjoyed the cool sensation brought by the Sprite.

Seeing his satisfied expression, Yun Yun could not help laughing. "What kind of drink is that? I've never seen it before. Hurry, give me a bottle to try too."

Xiao Yao smiled at her upon hearing that. "Yun Zhi, I won't tell you what kind of drink it is. I'll get you a bottle." With that, he took out a bottle of Sprite from his storage ring and handed it to her.

After receiving it, Yun Yun opened it and gulped down a large mouthful. She immediately felt much more refreshed.

After a while, Xiao Yao suddenly heard a "burp." He turned toward Yun Yun and said with a mischievous grin, "Yun Zhi, what's wrong?"

Yun Yun's face instantly turned crimson like a blooming peach blossom. She said angrily, "Burp. Yao Xiao, what exactly did you make me drink? Why do I feel like I can't stop burping?"

"What you drank is a specialty from my hometown. If you drink too much at once, this happens. It'll get better after a while." Xiao Yao thought she looked truly lovely when she was embarrassed.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two rested separately. In the tranquil night, they seemed to forget all their worries and pressure, simply enjoying the rare moment of peace.
