Mo Xingyun, holding the girl in green, fell off the cliff.
The drop was extremely steep and they fell fast.
He had to use all his internal energy at once to steady himself and try to grab or step on flat rocks.
“Ah!…” The girl cried out without stop in his arms and hugged his neck tight.
The weightless fall and the rushing air made her body shake hard.
In her panic she could only lean against him and hold on.
With a deafening roar, just as the rocks were about to hit the ground, Mo Xingyun unleashed a powerful palm strike downward to push against the earth.
The strike made a large hole in the ground.
Caught off guard, he had no time to adjust and tumbled into the hole with the girl.
Rubble from the top of the hole collapsed and quickly covered the opening.
He held her tight as they plummeted to the cave floor.
Though he tumbled and rolled several times and took most of the force off the landing, the fall was too high and the impact too great.
Irregular stones on the ground struck his body.
He felt as if every part of him were shattering as they fell into a pitch-black place.
The girl was still breathing hard and trembling all over, but he had held her tight and protected her, so she should be all right.
“Waaah…” She sobbed a few times and cried out.
His body was badly hurt.
His bones and skin burned with pain.
He could smell the faint fragrance coming from her delicate body.
“Girl, can you please stop crying?
It should be all right now.
We will figure out how to climb out,” he said with difficulty.
He did not know how to deal with her tears.
His chest and lungs felt as if they had been pounded.
They burned with pain.
“You can talk!?
You are not the mountain demon?” She exclaimed in a sweet voice when she heard him speak.
Her words were like pearls.
Her voice was both gentle and clear, extremely pleasing to the ear.
He smiled bitterly.
It was pitch black all around.
Though their bodies were pressed tightly together, they could not see each other’s faces.
Only then did he notice her delicate body trembling a little in his arms.
Her curvaceous, supple body was incredibly elastic.
Her soft, fragrant flesh pressed against him.
Her full, high breasts seemed ready to leap from her bodice.
Her chest was covered in flawless, translucent, snow-white skin.
Her waist was slender and supple.
Her skirt was torn and showed long, shapely legs in flesh-colored stockings.
Those legs were firm, round, and translucent.
The stockings were as thin as cicada wings and threw back a dark sheen, outlining the alluring curves of her pink, tender flesh.
Her breath was fragrant.
A floral scent rose from her fair neck and hair and stirred his heart.
Despite the pain he still joked, “When did I ever say I was a mountain demon?”
The girl knew the voice was a young man’s.
Being held tight against his shirtless chest, feeling his firm, rock-hard chest muscles, and smelling his strong masculine scent made her heart tremble.
She felt shy at once, but she dared not move in his arms.
She could only say timidly, “You… you are not hurt, are you?
You… let me go…”
“I am not hurt at all.
You are holding me so tightly.
If you do not let go, I am going to get hurt.”
He smiled in a casual way.
She blushed a little, knowing he was teasing her.
She gave him a coquettish glare and pushed him away.
He let her delicate body go easily, and she rolled to the side.
It was pitch black here.
He leaned against the side, paid her no more mind, and began to slowly heal his injuries by circulating his inner energy.
She had been protected by him and was unharmed except for a few scratches.
Seeing him lying on his side, she could faintly hear him circulating his energy and knew he was already meditating and regulating his breath.
She tidied herself among the rubble and dust and said, “Although I do not know who you are, I still want to thank you for saving my life.
My family is wealthy.
Once we get out of this cave, you can have whatever reward you want.”
He smiled a little but did not answer.
After the strange encounter in the lake his internal energy was deep and far-reaching.
With a slight adjustment of his breathing he felt a warm current flow from his dantian through his body.
It felt extremely comfortable.
His once-severe outer wounds were healing very fast.
Seeing that he did not react, she knew he was adjusting his breath, but she felt a little bored.
She pouted and stood up.
The space in the cave was not large, and the collapsed rocks above covered it firmly.
If they forced their way out, the rocks might slide farther and bury them alive.
She walked around investigating and found no other way out.
Her eyes gradually got used to the darkness.
Seeing the man still sitting motionless, healing his injuries, she grew more and more impatient.
She walked over to him, squatted down, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at him as he meditated with his eyes closed.
She asked, “Hey, I know you are healing, but there is not even a crack in here.
If we cannot get out, will we not suffocate?”
He heard what she said, but healing his wounds was the first thing right now, so he did not want to answer her.
Feeling awkward, she stood up again.
She paced for a while and found the surroundings dark and airtight, with solid walls everywhere, and no place that looked like an exit.
She had already taken minor injuries.
The hem of her green silk skirt was torn in several places.
The flesh-colored stockings on her snow-white legs were also torn in several places and showed the tender, fair skin of her legs.
She felt more and more stifled and could not help panicking.
Seeing that Mo Xingyun was still meditating with his eyes closed, a thin layer of mist gathered around his body.
She wandered around several times and still could not find a way out.
She had no choice but to sit down and close her eyes to rest as well.
Her internal strength was relatively shallow and she had not taken inner injuries.
After a few rounds of breathing exercises she had recovered to about seventy or eighty percent.
It was probably already night outside.
She did not know where she was.
Waves of cold air came from underground, and it grew colder and colder.
She was thinly dressed and her internal strength was not deep.
There was no material to start a fire.
Before long the cold entered her body and she was shivering.
“It is so… so cold…” she groaned weakly.
He was at a critical moment of gathering his strength.
He opened his eyes a little and saw her delicate body trembling in the darkness.
The earth’s energy was strong at night.
Water seeped up from the ground and a deep chill sat in the air.
While regulating his breathing he said softly, “Come here.
I will warm you up.”
She blushed a little when she heard this, vaguely sensing something was off.
But her shoes had somehow flown off, leaving her beautiful pink feet bare.
Her whole leg was covered only by stockings riddled with holes, showing glimpses of fair, tender flesh.
Her slender ankles were as smooth and lustrous as jade.
Her clothes were tattered and thin, and she was shivering from the cold.
With no other choice she walked straight to his side and sat down with grace, leaning against him.
He felt a faint fragrance coming from her.
Her soft body pressed against his side.
Her breasts, as white as mutton-fat jade, showed through the lace cut.
Her deep cleavage trembled between the tattered clothes and gave off a faint fragrance.
A surge of feeling rose in his heart.
For some reason he felt very close to this girl.
He thought to himself that he had risked his life to save her today, but he did not know why.
He reached out and embraced her.
She was shy and bashful and let out a soft “Mmm…” as she was held in his arms.
She felt the warmth coming from the man spread through her body and make her warm and comfortable.
She felt extremely at ease.
“So comfortable…” She hugged his broad back and could not help holding him tight.
The man’s firm, bare chest, his taut muscles, and his strong masculine scent made her, who did not have much contact with men, feel an immense sense of safety.
A strange feeling stirred in her.
She found herself incredibly comfortable and at ease lying in the arms of this unfamiliar “mountain demon,” and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Mo Xingyun had rarely been in contact with women since childhood.
Now a beautiful young girl was sleeping peacefully in his arms, her sweet fragrance drifting through the air.
He could not concentrate on his martial practice.
Looking down at the girl in his arms, he saw that although it was pitch black he could still tell she was stunningly beautiful.
Her brows were thick and dark.
Her lips were like cherries.
Her nose was straight and delicate.
Her brows were slightly raised under a wisp of fluffy bangs.
Beneath her pink neck, in her green dress, stood two firm, full breasts pressed tightly against his chest.
Her bright, full red lips trembled a little with her breath and glistened with a faint luster.
Overwhelmed, he could not contain himself and lowered his head to kiss her bright, moist lips deeply.
Their lips met.
He felt her soft, tender, smooth lips, incredibly sweet and refreshing.
He stole a kiss from the girl.
His heart pounded.
He quickly lifted his head after only a light kiss.
Fortunately she was exhausted and had not yet woken.
After only a short while without using his internal energy to heal, the cold air from the bottom of the stone began to seep into his lower body, and the fall he had just taken also started to ache.
He quickly composed himself, held the girl in his arms, and focused on using his internal energy to heal.
Suddenly a clear, cold voice echoed in his mind.
“Circulate your internal energy from your dantian, along the Ren meridian, up to the Tanzhong point, and then distribute it to your limbs and bones.
Although your outer injuries are severe, the Qinghua energy in your body can help you heal.
Do not be distracted.”
His heart skipped.
He whispered, “Master?
This disciple… obeys.”
Long Yue chuckled softly.
“I see your heart is beating so fast, and you even stole a kiss from this girl.
Humph.
The bloodline of the Immortal Palace is indeed full of passion.”
He said awkwardly, “Master, this disciple… just could not control his feelings for a moment, and did not… did not think too much about it.”
She sneered.
“Unable to control your feelings?
Tsk tsk.
Young man, you are full of youthful vigor.
Stealing a kiss from a young girl — are you thinking of taking it a step further?”
Her warm breath seemed to brush his ear as she went on in a deep voice, “Discard distracting thoughts.
Concentrate.
Let your inner energy rise along the Du meridian to the Baihui acupoint, then sink down to your limbs.
Repeat this cycle three times.”
He felt ashamed at her words and followed her advice to circulate his internal energy.
The green light surged like a river, flowing from his dantian along the Ren and Du meridians to every part of his body.
The stinging pain in his bones and muscles faded quickly.
The cracks in his skin healed at a speed the eye could see.
He was secretly amazed at how wondrous the energy method Long Yue had taught him was.
