Living Together in a Cave (Part Two)

Life together in the cave passed peacefully for two days. During those two days, the relationship between the two of them improved by leaps and bounds, and their favorability toward each other grew very high.

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 changed drastically when she heard the wolf howl coming from nearby outside. Seeming to recall something, she hurriedly stood up 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 and...

As countless thoughts ran through Xiao Yi Xian's mind, she suddenly caught sight of the apology in Yun Yun's eyes. After a brief daze, her heart stirred, and she smiled wryly. "Don't tell me you went to take a bath?"

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's strange gaze, a guilty blush rose on Yun Yun's pretty face. She lowered her head and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I... went out to bathe today."

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

Really... Xiao Yi Xian said calmly, "Stay here and don't move around. I'll go deal with that magical beast."

"Your... your strength... I should go instead." Seeing Xiao Yi Xian turn to leave, Yun Yun felt even more guilty and hurriedly stood up.

She had indeed been feeling uncomfortable these past few days. As someone who loved beauty above all else, she had ultimately been unable to resist going out for a bath.

Xiao Yi Xian turned back and gave Yun Yun a reassuring look. The sword case on her back trembled, and with a ringing sword cry, a silver-white blade slid from its sheath.

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

Yun Yun, watching from behind, was somewhat shocked. She was already a Da Dou Shi at such a young age?

Had her eyes deceived her? Had she sensed wrong?

Even Nalan Yanran, the most outstanding disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, was only Fighter Nine Stars now...

Once Xiao Yi Xian left the cave, she saw a third-tier magical beast beneath the waterfall—a Silver Moon Wolf!

The Silver Moon Wolf let out a wolfish howl the moment it saw Xiao Yi Xian. "Awoo!"

"Not good!"

Xiao Yi Xian could sense a large pack of wolves closing in around her. Wolves had never been solitary creatures; what they relied on was usually a pack beatdown!

The Purple Cloud Wings spread from Xiao Yi Xian's back. In the blink of an eye, she arrived beside the Silver Moon Wolf, and You Su in her hand slashed out instantly.

Bang!

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

Xiao Yi Xian glanced at the wolf pack continuously surrounding her. With a flap of her Purple Cloud Wings, she dodged the Silver Moon Wolf's pounce.

With a leap, she skimmed along the ground and flew into the distance. This was absolutely not a suitable place for battle.

"Awoo!"

A fourth-tier Silver Moon Wolf King suddenly appeared. With a howl from the wolf king, countless wolves madly chased after Xiao Yi Xian.

A purple figure flashed swiftly through the forest, pursued by countless wolves. Their long fangs constantly tore through the brush obstructing their path.

After weaving left and right for a while, Xiao Yi Xian hid herself. The sword case concealed her aura, and several Silver Moon Wolves passed by without discovering her.

"Phew!"

Xiao Yi Xian let out a breath of relief. She had not expected there to be a fourth-tier magical beast. Fortunately, she had not confronted it head-on from the start with her current strength.

Against a fourth-tier magical beast, she might have been able to hold it off for a while with her poison body, but the wolf king had plenty of 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 the unlucky Xiao Yan!

Although she did not know why Xiao Yan was here, the wolf pack was ganging up on him.

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

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

She had been out for quite a while. What if Yun Yun suddenly ran out?

That woman's cultivation was still sealed!

"Yao Lao, why are these wolves attacking me?"

Xiao Yan held the Heavy Black Ruler and swallowed a mouthful of blood, utterly confused. He had only arrived at the Monster Mountain Range not long ago, and he had not killed any wolf cubs.

Why were these wolves ganging up on him?

Yao Lao was also puzzled as he watched the scene. He did not know what was happening either, and there was even a fourth-tier, Dou Ling-level wolf king lurking in the shadows.

"Sigh, Little Yan, give me control of your body..."

Yao Lao took over Xiao Yan's body, and white flames instantly burst forth...

As Xiao Yi Xian was nearing the cave, she glanced in Xiao Yan's direction and muttered inwardly, Fellow townsman, you can'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 in misery.

Yao Lao was also somewhat embarrassed. Xiao Yan's body simply could not support his power. In order to deal with the Silver Moon Wolf King, the burden on his body had been a little too great.

It could not help but remind him of Xiao Yi Xian back then. When borrowing his power to fight a Dou Ling, she had refused to let him take control of her body no matter what.

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

"Achoo!"

Xiao Yi Xian sneezed for some reason. She wondered who was thinking about her. Could it be Yun Yun?

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

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

Hugging Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun said worriedly, "Thank goodness you're all right!"

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

This was the depths of the Monster Mountain Range. No matter how talented she was, the cultivation of a Da Dou Shi was still not enough.

Though not much time had passed, sitting in the cave had inevitably left her on edge.

"Mhm."

Xiao Yi Xian softly responded. Feeling the figure so different from her own, her face faintly reddened.

She did not know why Yun Yun's figure differed so much from hers...

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 piece of black charcoal!

"Uh..."

Looking at the charred fish Yun Yun was holding, 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 in the distance, Xiao Yi Xian did not know what to say. She had even found firewood and gotten the fire going...

The tip of Yun Yun's nose was slightly blackened. She smiled awkwardly and said to Xiao Yi Xian, "How about... you do it?"
