The next day.
Light entered the cave as usual, gently waking the sleeping Yun Yun.
Rubbing her eyes, Yun Yun sat up and saw that she was back on the stone bed.
Below, Xiao Jian was sitting cross-legged on the ground, cultivating.
Her face flushed slightly.
Seeing that Xiao Jian was still cultivating, she didn’t disturb him and walked to the mouth of the cave.
She had recovered a bit more today.
She wanted to take a bath, and she wanted to finish quickly before this guy finished cultivating.
After confirming again that Xiao Jian’s eyes were closed, Yun Yun, with a red face, untied her black robe.
The black robe slowly fell, revealing a smooth body.
Xiao Jian’s eyes widened.
“Holy crap, holy crap!” Two streams of hot liquid flowed from his nostrils.
He wanted to close his eyes quickly, but his eyelids wouldn’t obey.
At this moment, that graceful figure slowly stepped out.
“Ah!”
She hadn’t expected the water current to be so strong; she clearly felt the waterfall wasn’t that high.
Xiao Jian was also startled, leaping down.
He embraced that jade body in the water.
The delicate touch assailed him, and more hot liquid flowed from his nostrils.
“You…”
Yun Yun, being embraced, was no longer flustered; instead, shyness quickly overwhelmed her.
Her right hand, beyond her control, slapped out.
Slap!
A palm print appeared on Xiao Jian’s face.
Suddenly slapped, Xiao Jian’s face turned cold.
He let go of her and went ashore himself.
Yun Yun also heard the sound and immediately regretted it.
She wanted to apologize, but Xiao Jian had already gone ashore.
In a blink, he disappeared from sight.
Helpless, she could only regret it for a moment and began to clean her jade body.
But after washing, she realized a problem: she had no clothes.
She currently had no Dou Qi, so her storage ring couldn’t be opened, and the black robe Xiao Jian gave her was back in the cave.
She couldn’t go up now either.
She searched carefully by the shore but found that Xiao Jian wasn’t there at all.
Her heart immediately became flustered.
After a while, Xiao Jian still didn’t appear, and her heart grew increasingly worried.
“He wouldn’t have gotten angry and left, would he?
That’s right, he saved my life, and I treated him like that.
It’s normal for him to leave.” Just as she was feeling lost, a voice appeared.
“Are you done washing?”
Xiao Jian hadn’t left.
He was just hiding behind a tree.
He wanted to scare this woman.
Hearing this voice, Yun Yun immediately felt relieved, but seeing that Xiao Jian was still facing away from her, she thought he was still angry.
She could only softly hum in response.
Xiao Jian took out a set of his own clothes, placed them by the shore, then turned his back again.
He didn’t speak anymore.
Yun Yun bit her lip.
Anxiously and shyly, she went ashore and then put on Xiao Jian’s clothes.
She said, “Alright.”
Xiao Jian acknowledged her, turned around, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and flew into the cave.
Unlike before, he didn’t overtly take advantage this time.
He simply put Yun Yun down and let go, without the slightest lingering touch.
Then he walked to the side and sat down cross-legged, minding his own business.
Yun Yun stood rooted to the spot, looking at Xiao Jian, who had already closed his eyes, and apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it just now.”
Xiao Jian did not answer.
Gritting her teeth and making up her mind, Yun Yun walked to Xiao Jian’s side, half-squatted, then lightly pecked his face—a touch-and-go.
She stood up, then said through gritted teeth, “Is that enough now?”
Xiao Jian then opened his eyes and said, “I forgive you.
But why did you kiss me?”
This guy was shameless.
Yun Yun’s face turned red again; she didn’t know if it was from shame or anger.
Immediately after, Xiao Jian also stood up and continued, “So, I’m going to return it.”
As he spoke, he slowly approached Yun Yun, a smile in his eyes.
Yun Yun wanted to retreat.
“What do you want to do…” But before she could finish, she was already embraced by the waist, then held tightly against Xiao Jian’s chest.
“No, you…
can’t!”
She wanted to push Xiao Jian away, but without Dou Qi and being injured, where would she find the strength?
Seeing that resistance was useless, she simply closed her eyes, as if resigned to her fate.
Her pearly teeth slightly parted.
…Cannot be published here.
Five hundred words omitted.
Xiao Jian sat on the stone bed, awkwardly rubbing his nose.
Don’t ask him why Yun Yun was covered in a black robe; just assume he doesn’t know.
He said awkwardly, “Um, I’m sorry.
I’ll take responsibility.”
Yun Yun was furious with shame.
“You’re still talking!”
Xiao Jian was also very embarrassed; he only wanted to kiss her, but he didn’t expect something like this to happen.
He was also helpless.
“That!
Didn’t I control myself?”
Yun Yun was almost too shy to speak.
In front of Xiao Jian’s techniques, she was almost powerless to resist.
“You’re still talking.
Besides that, your other things!
You…!”
Xiao Jian didn’t know what to do either.
He could only say with a forced smile, “I didn’t do it on purpose.
I…” By the end, he didn’t even know how to argue.
He had indeed acted on impulse.
“Get out!” Yun Yun said fiercely, pointing to the corner.
Xiao Jian chuckled twice again, then obediently went to face the wall in the corner.
After calming down for a while, Yun Yun rustled as she put on all her clothes.
Don’t ask me why it was all; just assume I don’t know.
Xiao Jian raised his hand, then turned it around.
Why hadn’t he noticed how formidable he was before?
It was his first time.
How could he be so skilled?
In the end, unable to figure it out, he could only attribute it to extraordinary talent.
Yun Yun, dressed, planned to make this guy face the wall for two hours first.
Looking at the obedient fellow standing in the corner, Yun Yun’s anger dissipated considerably, and she even let out a chuckle.
Xiao Jian, standing in the corner, slowly circulated his Dou Qi, wanting to calm his blood, but found that the Dou Qi circulated faster.
He immediately understood that he was about to break through to Dou Master, so he no longer hesitated, letting go of the remaining distracting thoughts.
He sat down cross-legged.
Yun Yun saw this guy trying to sit down and immediately wanted to scold him, but when the words reached her lips, she noticed something was wrong.
*Is he about to break through?
Speaking of which, his talent does seem very good, but I don’t know exactly how old he is.
He looks seventeen or eighteen.
He just said he would take responsibility…
With his talent, it’s not impossible.* Thinking of this, her face turned red again.
She no longer dwelled on what had just happened, but simply watched Xiao Jian, hoping he could successfully break through.
As the breakthrough began, the surrounding Dou Qi continuously poured into Xiao Jian’s body, gradually forming a vortex, attracting more Dou Qi inward.
Refining and solidifying the surging Dou Qi one by one, then refining and solidifying again.
As time passed, a drop of milky white liquid dripped into the vortex.
Next, it was a slow repetition of this process, then allowing this pure Dou Qi to change his body, so that all Dou Qi absorbed in the future could reach this level.
“He’s almost succeeded.” Watching the violent Dou Qi around Xiao Jian slowly calm down, Yun Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.
The failure rate for breakthroughs was not small, and once it failed, not to mention how long it would take to recultivate to the point of being able to break through again, the mere shadow of a failed breakthrough would make the next attempt even more difficult, severely hindering future breakthroughs.
Drops of milky white liquid fused into Xiao Jian’s flesh and blood, his meridians, completely transforming his body.
The Dou Qi vortex slowly dispersed, and Xiao Jian opened his eyes.
For a moment, power surged rapidly.
He unleashed his Dou Qi, and the Dou Qi that should have dissipated outside his body slowly settled upon him, forming a white gauze robe.
To be able to condense the gauze robe so solidly on his first attempt, Yun Yun was truly shocked by Xiao Jian’s talent.
One must know that not many people could fully condense a Dou Qi gauze robe upon breaking through to Dou Master, let alone one so solid.
Even when she broke through to Dou Master, she only barely managed to condense a gauze robe, and such solidity was something she had never seen before.
Xiao Jian stood up, condensed his Dou Qi, and punched the wall, only to see a large hole directly punched into the wall.
One must know that this was stone.
He was mainly able to open this cave by relying on the sharpness of the Black and White Profound Sword.
Looking at the damage he caused, Xiao Jian retracted his Dou Qi with satisfaction.
He turned his head to look at Yun Yun.
“I’ve broken through.”
Yun Yun was also happy for him and said with a smile, “Breaking through to Dou Master, congratulations.”
Xiao Jian laughed heartily.
He then carefully checked his injuries and found that they had basically healed, only a little pale, and would be completely healed in at most two days.
“Quickly sit down and consolidate it again.” Yun Yun had a lot of experience with breakthroughs, and consolidation after a breakthrough was very necessary.
One was to consolidate the foundation, and the other was that if one barely broke through, it would be easy to fall back if not consolidated.
Agreeing, Xiao Jian immediately sat down cross-legged and began to consolidate his cultivation.
By the time he finished consolidating, it was already evening, and the sky had darkened.
His consolidation was considered short; some Dou Masters took two or three days to consolidate.
When Xiao Jian opened his eyes, Yun Yun was also sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, seemingly trying to break the seal.
Xiao Jian didn’t disturb her.
He went out, caught a few fish, prepared the seasonings, and started grilling them.
He had quite a lot of seasonings prepared; as a person from a great foodie empire, this was just basic operation.
A moment later, Yun Yun opened her eyes, and Xiao Jian handed her a fish.
“How is it?” He was naturally asking about the seal, and Yun Yun naturally knew.
She nodded and said, “It’s alright.
I should be able to break it tomorrow.”
Xiao Jian paused, his tone suddenly a little disappointed, but he pretended not to care and said, “That’s good.”
Yun Yun smiled slyly.
“What, are you afraid I’ll attack you when I recover?”
Xiao Jian continued to gnaw on his fish, nonchalantly saying, “What am I afraid of?
Dying under a peony is still being a romantic ghost.”
Yun Yun remained calm and said flatly, “Hmm!
I’ll certainly satisfy you then.”
These past two days with this rogue, she had learned a lot; at least her skin had thickened considerably.
“Hmm!
I’ll be waiting.” Once her cultivation recovered, Yun Yun would leave, right?
Although he felt a bit reluctant, he still had to pretend to be carefree.
It wasn’t good for a man to be wishy-washy.
“Alright, I’m full.” Yun Yun said, directly tossing the remaining fish to Xiao Jian.
Xiao Jian didn’t mind, caught the fish, and started gnawing on one in each hand.
Yun Yun’s face flushed, but thinking about it, since things had already gone that far, she didn’t care about such a small matter and instead teased, “What, you’re not going to throw away my fish this time?”
Xiao Jian looked up, hinting meaningfully, “Isn’t it because things have already gone that far?
I won’t mind anymore.”
Yun Yun quickly spat, “Pah!
Little scoundrel!”
After speaking, she went to break the seal with a red face.
Actually, she didn’t need to break it; she just needed to wait for the seal’s power to slowly weaken and then disappear.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King’s move was indeed quite powerful, but it wasn’t a permanent seal; otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
After eating the fish, Xiao Jian looked at Yun Yun, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, and got onto the bed.
He hadn’t slept for a long time, and today he suddenly wanted to try the feeling of sleeping.
“What are you doing?
Get down quickly!”
Yun Yun wanted to push Xiao Jian awake.
Unfortunately, as the old saying goes, you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.
Helpless, Yun Yun could only kick him once, then let him be.
A moment later.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m cold.
I just want to get a little closer.”
“I’ll just hold your hand.”
“I’ll just kiss you.”
And then.
“Ugh!”
“No!”
Xiao Jian swore he was genuinely just sleepy.
He didn’t intend to do anything else.
