After completing a unique version of the "Five-Year Agreement," the two gradually fell into silence. After what had just happened, neither knew what to say for a moment.
As the silence dragged on, the atmosphere inside the cave grew quiet and awkward. After today's events, it seemed difficult for them to return to the easy harmony they once had.
The silence lasted until midday. During this time, Mo Yu went out to catch a few wild rabbits. He crouched by the fire, absentmindedly poking at the roasting meat with a stick. Suddenly, sensing something, he raised his head, only to lock eyes with a pair of clear, beautiful eyes.
Their gazes met briefly before both quickly looked away, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Mo Yu rolled the roasting rabbit again and picked one up, offering it to Yun Yun.
"You eat it. I'm not hungry," Yun Yun said softly, her gaze lowering. However, just after she spoke, she felt her stomach tighten slightly. After all, the energy and physical exertion from her "battle" with Mo Yu earlier wasn't much different from fighting a Dou Huang powerhouse.
Thinking about this, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Yun Yun's eyes, but she stubbornly closed her eyes, ignoring her protesting stomach.
"Don't worry. This rabbit is vegetarian," Mo Yu joked as Yun Yun refused to take the rabbit. He added with a smile, "If you don't eat, I'll feed you myself."
Opening her eyes, Yun Yun pursed her lips tightly and looked up. She saw the young man standing in front of her with a gentle and handsome smile. A softness flickered in her eyes. There was no denying that Mo Yu's extraordinarily handsome face, combined with a deep and unique aura far beyond his years, made him especially attractive to women.
What struck Yun Yun the most was Mo Yu's unique aura. During their earlier "rain of passion," she had vaguely felt that halfway through, the poison from the snake was already gradually dissipating. Yet, the boy's masculine aura, as strong and warm as the sun, deeply attracted her, pulling her into a whirlpool of desire from which she couldn't escape.
Recalling this, Yun Yun couldn't help but blame herself for indulging in the moment earlier. She glanced apologetically at the young man. After all, none of it had really been his fault—it was just fate.
With a sigh, Yun Yun finally reached out and took the roasted rabbit, nibbling on it slowly. The act of eating seemed to relax her somewhat. After swallowing a bite, she spoke softly, "Tomorrow, I should be able to break the seal."
Hearing this, Mo Yu's heart stirred. He hadn't forgotten his earlier plan. After their intimate encounter, he had returned to Yun Yun not just because of his pride, but also because he was eyeing the treasures of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. He chuckled lightly, "That's great news. Congratulations."
"I'll return to confront the Amethyst Winged Lion King once my strength is restored," Yun Yun said seriously.
"Do you need my help with anything?" Mo Yu offered. Given their current relationship, his question didn't seem too out of place, even though he lacked the strength to help much. Yun Yun naturally didn't think too much of it, unaware that Mo Yu was even more eager than she was.
After a moment of contemplation, Yun Yun nodded slightly. "The Amethyst Spirit Crystal is usually kept in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave. I was planning to sneak in last time, but it sensed me."
"When my strength recovers tomorrow, I will lure the Amethyst Winged Lion King away. As for you, I would like to ask you to enter the cave and help me find the Amethyst Spirit Crystal. I don't know what skills you have, but with your abilities, you should be able to sneak inside. After all, few other magical beasts dare enter the Lion King's cave."
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded. With Yun Yun outside distracting the Lion King, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
For some reason, after their intimate encounter, the soul power Mo Yu had exhausted earlier to divert the Tier 3 Thunder Rock Tiger not only fully recovered but also surged, pushing him toward the breakthrough of a Tier 4 Weapon Refiner.
Faced with this strange development, Mo Yu could only attribute it to the "side effects" of his Heavenly Thunder Body.
Yun Yun took out a small, diamond-shaped crystal from the emerald storage ring on her finger and handed it to Mo Yu. "Wear this crystal. When you get close to the Amethyst Spirit Crystal, it will heat up. The closer you get, the hotter it will become."
Taking the diamond-shaped crystal, Mo Yu hung it around his neck and smiled. "I'll do my best."
Seeing Mo Yu's smile, Yun Yun nodded slightly. With that, their conversation lapsed into silence again, as if they had run out of things to say.
"By the way, I heard you prepared three Tier 5 magic cores and high-level Xuan-class techniques to trade with the Amethyst Winged Lion King for the Amethyst Spirit Crystal."
"Can you lend me one of the fire or thunder attribute magic cores? I'll repay you several times over in the future," Mo Yu suddenly asked, remembering something.
Since they had now developed a more intimate relationship and had a "Five-Year Agreement," Mo Yu had already begun to regard Yun Yun as his woman. Although he felt awkward asking to borrow something from her, he figured he could always repay her many times over later.
A Tier 5 magic core was a rare and valuable item that would bring him tremendous benefits.
Hearing his request, Yun Yun was stunned. Although she didn't understand why Mo Yu needed a Tier 5 magic core, she felt something indescribable inside her at the first request from this mysterious young man.
After a moment of thought, Yun Yun said softly, "These three magic cores belong to the sect, and even though I'm the sect master, I can't lend them out casually. But I can decide to give you one as thanks for saving my life once my strength is restored."
Mo Yu waved his hand. "You don't need to talk about saving lives. Consider it a loan, and I'll repay you—even if you're my future woman."
Hearing Mo Yu refer to her as his "woman" repeatedly, Yun Yun's cheeks flushed. She was also curious about the boy's inexplicable confidence. Becoming a Dou Huang in five years was no small feat.
After cleaning up the fire pit, the awkwardness between them lingered. When Mo Yu saw that Yun Yun seemed on the verge of becoming flustered, he turned and left, saying, "There are many magical beasts at night. I'll stand guard outside."
As he disappeared into the darkness outside the cave, Yun Yun stared at his retreating figure, recalling his repeated claims that she was his woman. Her once calm heart was now rippling with unexpected emotions.
"Sigh…" A soft sigh echoed in the cave before fading away.
When the warm morning sunlight touched Mo Yu, he groggily opened his eyes. The moment he did, he instinctively turned his head.
Sitting on the stone bed inside the cave, Yun Yun was meditating. She had changed into a white dress, and the lazy phoenix hairpin she had worn was now neatly fixed. Her face was beautiful and serene, with a hint of elegance and dignity. The slight vulnerability from the past few days had completely disappeared.
Sensing Mo Yu's awakening, Yun Yun slowly opened her eyes and glanced at him with a complex expression. "Awake?" she asked softly.
Her voice was as clear as before, but this time, there was a touch of coldness.
Mo Yu didn't mind her attitude. Women like her wouldn't fall in love with someone just because of a physical encounter. He knew that only true strength would change things.
Thinking of the "Five-Year Agreement," Mo Yu felt a surge of determination. He smiled and said, "Now that the seal is broken, let's go find the Amethyst Winged Lion King!"
