Since saving Yun Yun, Mo Yu had become much more vigilant about the safety around the cave. His gaze constantly swept the surroundings, noticing that the magical beasts within the Magic Beast Mountain Range had become significantly more restless. Fortunately, the aura of the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder had an extraordinary effect.
Although magical beasts occasionally appeared nearby, upon sensing that soul-trembling aura, they quickly fled. For the past few days, the two had not been discovered.
Returning to the cave, Mo Yu saw Yun Yun, who had been lying on the stone bed, now resting her chin on her hand while sitting leisurely on a stone slab. Seeing Mo Yu return, she smiled slightly and said, "You're back."
Mo Yu nodded faintly. He took out a few rabbits he'd caught in the dense forest from his storage ring, sat down heavily, and started a fire. He casually asked, "How's your injury?"
Yun Yun stood up slightly, a faint fragrance accompanying her movement. She walked to Mo Yu's side, frowning gently as she sighed, "The external wounds are not a big deal, but the sealing technique on my body will take at least a few days to break."
"Mm, then you should rest here for a few days. The area is very safe," Mo Yu said while roasting the rabbits. His eyes swept over Yun Yun, who was now dressed in a blue combat outfit.
Her original white dress had been damaged, so she was now wearing Mo Yu's clothes, giving her a carefree and unrestrained aura.
Sitting down gracefully, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes glanced at the roasting rabbit meat, a hint of curiosity flashing in her gaze. "You're quite bold. With the strength of a Dou Zhe, you dared to venture deep into the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Which family are you from? I haven't seen a genius like you in the Jia Ma Empire."
Mo Yu didn't hide anything and replied, "I had no choice. I was being pursued. As for my identity, I am Mo Yu from the Xiao Clan of Wu Tan City."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun frowned slightly, then seemed to recall something and said softly, "The Xiao Clan from Wu Tan City? Does your clan have a boy named Xiao Yan, who was exceptionally talented in his youth but whose strength gradually declined?"
Mo Yu was a bit surprised that Yun Yun didn't know Xiao Yan had regained his talent, but considering her status as the leader of Yun Lan Sect, it wasn't unusual for her to overlook such trivial matters.
Not feeling the need to hide his identity, Mo Yu calmly flipped the rabbit meat and nodded, "Yes, Xiao Yan is my cousin. How do you know him? If you see him in the future, please take care of him. By the way, what's your name?"
Although Mo Yu already knew everything, he asked these questions to avoid suspicion and keep the conversation going.
"My name is... Yun Zhi," Yun Yun responded, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly as she avoided Mo Yu's deep black gaze. "As for your cousin, I heard about the marriage annulment with the Nalan family. It caused quite a stir in the capital, so naturally, I've heard of him."
Perhaps due to her sealed strength, Yun Yun seemed a bit flustered, unable to meet Mo Yu's gaze directly. Mo Yu found this amusing—the dignified Dou Huang, leader of Yun Lan Sect, had a touch of girlish shyness.
A moment later, Mo Yu handed her a piece of roasted rabbit meat. She tore off a small portion, her red lips moving delicately as she chewed with elegance, a pleasing sight to behold.
"After your injuries heal, do you still plan to seek out the Amethyst Winged Lion King?" Mo Yu asked nonchalantly while eating. Without Yun Yun, he wouldn't dare approach the beast's lair.
"Mm. I need the Amethyst Spirit Crystal," Yun Yun sighed softly.
"I see. The Amethyst Winged Lion King isn't much stronger than you, but that sealing technique is too domineering. As long as you avoid it, there's still a chance," Mo Yu said slowly.
Mo Yu didn't take the initiative to propose cooperation. Given his current weakness, doing so would only diminish his bargaining power.
Hearing this, Yun Yun's eyes flickered, and she stared intently at the young man before her. "Are you really from the Xiao Clan of Wu Tan City?"
The youth's deep temperament and sharp insight made her doubt whether he was truly from the Xiao Clan. Could he be a secretly groomed imperial prince? After all, besides Yun Lan Sect, no other force in the Jia Ma Empire could cultivate such an outstanding talent.
Mo Yu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Why would I lie about something like that?"
"After this matter is settled, I should bring him into Yun Lan Sect. Such a good seedling shouldn't be wasted," Yun Yun thought to herself.
However, she then recalled Xiao Yan and his issue with Nalan Yanran. Would Mo Yu hold a grudge against Yun Lan Sect and refuse to join because of that?
Perhaps during the three-year agreement, I'll have Yanran go easy on Xiao Yan. Or better yet, I could take both Xiao Yan and Mo Yu into Yun Lan Sect, giving Xiao Yan the status of a direct disciple to compensate him.
Shaking her head, Yun Yun stopped thinking about it. Seeing Mo Yu finishing his meal and beginning to cultivate, she sat down beside him, closed her eyes, and started working on dissolving the Amethyst Seal within her body.
Over the next few days, under Mo Yu's attentive care, their relationship gradually grew closer.
Perhaps due to Mo Yu's exceptional demeanor and speech, Yun Yun did not act aloof or overbearing when talking to him.
The peaceful life in the cave continued for two days, but on the third day, a sudden tiger's roar shattered the calm.
"That's the roar of a Tier 3 magical beast, the Thunder Rock Tiger. How did it find us?"
Hearing the roar, Mo Yu frowned. He had deliberately spread the aura of the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder around the cave. How could a Tier 3 magical beast dare approach?
Yun Yun's face flushed with embarrassment as she hesitated and whispered, "Sorry, I... went out to take a bath today."
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, never expecting such bad luck. Gripping the spear in his hand tightly, he growled, "Women are trouble. Stay here and don't move. I'll go distract the beast."
A Tier 3 magical beast. He was in for another tough fight. If it weren't for the Amethyst Spirit Crystal and the Tier 3 cub, Mo Yu would have left this woman behind.
"You... your strength... I should go instead," Yun Yun said hastily, guilt rising in her heart as she stood up.
Even her prized disciple Nalan Yanran couldn't deal with a Tier 3 magical beast, let alone Mo Yu.
"Stay!" Mo Yu suddenly stopped, turned around, and shouted, "Don't cause me more trouble. Stay put!"
Startled by Mo Yu's sudden scolding, Yun Yun stared at him in shock, her mind unable to process the fact that this young man dared to yell at her.
"If you don't behave, I'll leave you to fend for yourself!"
