Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 127 Cohabitation in a Cave

At first, the woman didn't know why he was glaring at her, but when she saw Xiao Bai's slightly disheveled figure as he left, she seemed to realize something, and her face instantly flushed red. She secretly spat.

After Xiao Bai left, she carefully examined her body. Although she still couldn't get up, the wound on her chest was no longer as painful as before. Instead, it felt cool and slightly comfortable. Recalling the shameful moans she had made in front of the white-haired youth, she couldn't help but bite her red lips.

For so many years, she has always given people the impression of being elegant and noble. She has never behaved like this in front of a man before, let alone with her upper body exposed, making it seem as if she is deliberately trying to seduce him.

With mixed feelings, she thought of Xiao Bai's walking posture just now, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved up, a gentle smile flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Although she was still unmarried, she had some understanding of certain things between men and women. She knew that he must have been in a lot of pain just now. But it was precisely because of this that he put a coat on her to ease her embarrassment, restrained himself and kept his distance, and did not take advantage of her at all, which made her feel a little affection for him.

"What an interesting little guy!" She could tell that although Xiao Bai was very mature in appearance and behavior, his face still had a hint of immaturity, so he must be quite young.

Outside the cave, Xiao Bai arrived at the waterfall, where he was greeted by the cool mist rising from the cascading water.

"Sigh, I've really grown up!" Xiao Bai smiled wryly. An eighteen-year-old body is really susceptible to temptation. Even if he can control his thoughts and will, his body's reactions are just as strong!

This was the first time he had ever been so embarrassed in front of a woman. Even when he was with Cai Lin, he didn't feel the same surge of lust as before.

It wasn't that Cai Lin wasn't alluring enough, but rather that he had to remain constantly vigilant when facing that proud woman, because their relationship hadn't reached that point yet.

But when facing the woman in the cave, he seemed to lose his vigilance. Thinking of this, Xiao Bai couldn't help but stroke his chin and fall into deep thought.

He seemed to have no wariness of the woman in the cave from the beginning. This was probably due to the influence of the original work. In the original work, all her actions indicated that as long as he entered her heart, this woman would never hurt him, even if she herself was wronged!

"What an interesting woman!" Shaking his head, Xiao Bai chuckled, "Since she's so interesting, let's slowly break the seal!"

Anyway, there are still seven days before we depart from Canaan Academy. As long as we get back before we leave, that should be fine. As for gathering herbs, we can take our time. Gathering a little every day should take about seven days, right?

"Bang!"

A flash of yellowish-brown lightning appeared beneath his feet, and a greenwood sheep that had run over to drink water nearby collapsed to the ground, convulsing. Xiao Bai took out a dagger from his storage ring, dealt with the sheep, then severed its four legs. After cleaning and treating them by the waterfall, he carried them into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, they saw the woman lying there quietly with her eyes closed, presumably trying to mobilize the battle qi in her dantian to break through the seal.

Xiao Bai didn't disturb her. He went around to the campfire, rubbed seasoning on the lamb leg, and started roasting it on the fire.

He could sense that before her internal injuries healed, she was doing useless work. She had no fighting spirit in her body and was sealed, so she couldn't mobilize any energy at all. Without external help, she could only slowly break the seal by absorbing external energy after her internal injuries healed.

A short while later, a fragrance began to fill the cave. The woman opened her eyes and turned her head to look at the figure in black robes.

"Are you hungry?" Xiao Bai asked without turning around. Even a Dou Huang needs to eat without the nourishment of Dou Qi.

"No!" The woman had just finished speaking when her stomach rumbled, making her blush slightly. However, seeing that Xiao Bai didn't turn around, she breathed a sigh of relief.

A moment later, Xiao Bai took down the roasted, golden-brown lamb leg, placed it on a large leaf he had picked earlier, cut it into small pieces, walked over, helped her sit up, placed the leaf containing the lamb on her lap, and then turned away to continue roasting meat.

The woman stared blankly at his actions until he left, then she came to her senses. Looking at his retreating figure, and then at the fragrant mutton on her lap, she wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word. She could only whisper, "Thank you!"

"You're lucky today! I rarely cook, and you know, there are very few people in this world worth my personal cooking!"

Xiao Bai wasn't lying. So far, only Xun'er and Xian'er have eaten his cooking; Cai Lin hasn't tried it at all.

Hearing his narcissistic tone, the woman couldn't help but smile and said softly, "That's truly my honor! I rarely cook either. How about I cook you a meal after I recover?"

Xiao Bai shuddered when he thought of the woman's cooking skills in the original story. Not only did she burn the fish, but this powerful Dou Huang expert couldn't even distinguish between aphrodisiacs and seasonings. She was clearly someone who never lifted a finger in the kitchen. Who would dare to eat what she made?

"Hehe. We'll talk about it later!" Xiao Bai said dismissively. Anyway, he wouldn't dare eat what she made!

Who knows if there might be some weird stuff in it, especially since it might be added to some kind of culinary disaster!

"You little brat, how dare you look down on me!" The woman was immediately displeased by his perfunctory attitude; she had never cooked anything for anyone before!

If she hadn't witnessed his thoughtful and considerate actions earlier, she wouldn't have said those words. Given her status, who in the Gama Empire wouldn't be excited to hear such a thing? Yet here she was met with disdain!

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes inwardly. Didn't she have any idea what her own situation was? Not wanting to dwell on the matter, he changed the subject, asking, "By the way, I still don't know your name?"

"Yunzhi!" The woman's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she whispered.

"It really is the same old alias!" Even though he already knew the outcome, Xiao Bai couldn't help but complain to himself.

"And you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai pondered for a moment. Since they were wearing disguises, everyone should do the same. This woman should know something about the Xiao family. There was a high probability that Xiao Bai and Xiao Yan's names were already registered in the Yunlan Sect. Now was not the time to expose them.

"Ah Niu!"

Upon hearing the name, the woman paused in her chewing motion. She didn't investigate the name's authenticity, but she already knew the answer in her heart.

She couldn't sense Xiao Bai's cultivation level. His entire body showed no energy fluctuations, as if he were an ordinary person. But if he was an ordinary person, where did the flesh in his hand come from?

He must be a cultivator, but judging from his age, his cultivation level is probably not very high. He must have used some kind of concealment method.

The cave fell silent. After Xiao Bai said his name, the two seemed to have run out of things to say, and the atmosphere became quiet.

"Roar!" A beastly roar echoed from afar.

Yunzhi's eyebrows slowly furrowed. She suddenly remembered the roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King after she escaped. Now, it seemed that all the intelligent magical beasts in the vicinity were searching for her.

How can this be good?

After pondering for a while, looking at Xiao Bai not far away, she still couldn't bear to see the young man who had saved her suffer the same misfortune as her. She sighed and said:

"Ah Niu! You'd better leave here as soon as possible!"

"Why?" Xiao Bai asked indifferently.

"You should know my situation. That Amethyst Winged Lion King is probably searching for me everywhere right now. Once his magical beasts find this place, you'll be in big trouble!" Yunzhi said with a bitter expression.

"What will you do if I leave?" Xiao Bai turned the lamb leg over on the campfire, the firelight making his face look somewhat uncertain.

"This is my business, it's none of your concern!" Hearing the increasingly close roar of the beast, Yunzhi said in a cold tone, a little anxious.

"Okay!" Xiao Bai picked up the lamb leg, got up and left without any hesitation!

"!" Yunzhi blinked, a little stunned. This guy's attitude changed too quickly. He seemed to care about her just now, but suddenly he left without hesitation.

Although I wanted him to leave, a faint sense of anticipation still rose in my heart!

Seeing that he had really left, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed!

Oh well, thinking about it, it makes sense. The two of them were just strangers who met by chance. He had already done more than enough by saving her before. It's impossible for him to risk his life to protect her!

Yunzhi shook her head and smiled bitterly. What was she expecting?

She reached out and touched the ring, and a magnificent cyan longsword appeared in her hand. She placed the sword horizontally on her lap, closed her beautiful eyes, and quietly waited for the lion's claws to arrive. Although she couldn't move, she was determined to fight to the death.

After Xiao Bai walked out of the cave, he saw two third-tier magical beasts rushing towards him from afar. After glancing at them, he flashed away and disappeared from the spot, landing on a big tree, concealing his aura, eating a lamb leg, and watching the show!

The two magical beasts sniffed around the riverbank below the waterfall, then followed the scent and gradually approached the cave. When they reached the cave entrance, the two beasts seemed to have discovered something, roared a few times into the cave, and then walked into it.

Although he was just watching the show, Xiao Bai's soul power had already locked onto the two demonic beasts. He just wanted to pull Sect Master Yun back a little, not really abandon her!

Inside the cave, Yunzhi looked at the two third-tier magical beasts, a hint of despair in her eyes. If they were first-tier, they wouldn't be too much of a problem for her at this moment, and second-tier would also be alright; she might be able to save her life if she fought hard. But two third-tier beasts left her feeling powerless for a moment.

"Am I destined to perish here today?" He gripped the longsword tightly, slowly stroking its blade, a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

I never expected that a Dou Huang would be reduced to dying under the claws of two third-tier magical beasts!

Chu Jian slowly struggled to his feet, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and he shouted in a clear voice:

"You beast, come and fight!"

As they looked at the human woman, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in the wary eyes of the two magical beasts, and their claws began to paw restlessly at the ground.

"Roar!" The two magical beasts split up and pounced on Yunzhi from two different directions.

Seeing this, Yunzhi brandished her longsword and used swordsmanship without the aid of battle qi to slash at one of the demonic beasts, ignoring the other. She wanted to trade blows and focus on dealing with one of them first, hoping that there might still be a way out.

"Sizzle!"

Although her battle qi was sealed and her internal injuries had not yet been healed, her senses as a Dou Huang were still intact. She found the monster's weakness and used the sharpness of her sword to cut a long wound on the monster's abdomen. She was also pulled to the ground by the force transmitted from the sword.

What puzzled her was that the other monster, which had clearly pounced on her, seemed to freeze for a moment after leaping up and then fell from mid-air for some unknown reason.

"Roar!" The beast, which had been stunned for a moment, regained its clarity in its eyes and roared at her as she fell to the ground, preparing to pounce on her again.

The other beast, wounded, had an even stronger bloodlust in its eyes, letting out a low roar as it slowly dragged its bleeding body toward her.

Yunzhi was in despair. She had only managed to stay upright with sheer willpower, but now she couldn't muster any strength to get up. Looking at the two demonic beasts, she couldn't help but close her eyes.

Scenes flashed through my mind: childhood, teenage years, and adulthood, including my teacher and Yanran. And finally, there was Ah Niu.

"I wonder if he's alright?" A thought flashed through my mind!

After a while, once she had recalled everything she could remember, she was surprised to find that she did not experience the pain she had expected.

"Did she faint from fright?" Just then, a familiar voice rang in my ears with a hint of teasing.

She opened her eyes, and a large face appeared before her. After a moment of confusion, she turned her head to look at the two lifeless magical beasts lying on the ground. She immediately knew that this person had saved her once again.

"Didn't you leave?" Yunzhi blinked, looking at the person in front of her, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Yes! I suddenly realized halfway there that my clothes were still on you, so I had to come back!" Xiao Bai's eyes darted towards the black robe she was wearing, and he hesitated before speaking.

"Hehe!" Yunzhi smiled slightly. She didn't believe this guy's words. She just looked at his strange expression and followed his gaze.

Her previously pale cheeks flushed instantly, and a wave of shame washed over her. She felt that she had never wanted to die as much as she did now!

At this moment, her black robe had slightly come undone, revealing a glimpse of her skin. From their current angle, it was almost completely exposed!

She hurriedly reached out her delicate hand to close her disheveled clothes, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them again, her beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she looked at the guy in front of her with a look of shame and anger. Her voice was as cold as the wind from the depths of hell.

"Tell me! How do you want to die!"

"It's none of my business. I was just about to remind you, but I was afraid you'd be embarrassed!" Xiao Bai jumped to a distance, picked up the corpses of two monsters with shattered souls, and turned to leave.

As Yunzhi watched his disappearing figure, her eyes, filled with shame and anger, gradually became somewhat dazed.

After so many years of virginity, he truly saw her from head to toe. Even if she was aloof and indifferent, it was impossible for her heart to remain unmoved!
