Two pieces of clothing were hung by the campfire to dry, and a sensual aroma wafted through the cave.

Although Wang Yan knew that a fight with Zhuo Hua was inevitable today, he didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic. In order to please him, she even took the initiative to cut off her own salamander tail so that she could better please Wang Yan.

After a long time, as the campfire was about to go out, the two gradually stopped.

Zhuohua's face was flushed with satisfaction. Her petite body embraced Wang Yan, and she gently rubbed her cheek against Wang Yan's chest like a kitten.

Wang Yan reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, asking her:

Are you hungry?

"A little."

"Let's eat first."

"No, let me hold you a little longer."

".......All right."

They lingered like this for a while, and their clothes dried a bit. They put on their warm clothes and nestled close to Wang Yan as they ate quietly.

Just after dinner, Wang Yan suddenly thought of a problem: the temperature inside the cave didn't seem too low. You see, the outside temperature is now fully in autumn, with the average temperature being less than 20 degrees Celsius. But inside this cave, the perceived temperature is estimated to be 25 degrees Celsius, which is obviously not normal.

However, Wang Yan quickly found the problem: it was the pool of water in the very center of the cave.

Wang Yan gently touched the azure pool water, his eyes widening slightly. He quickly exclaimed, "Zhuohua, Zhuohua! Come and see this water! It's warm!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuohua quickly came over and, as expected, also noticed something was wrong.

"This water is strange; how could it be warm?"

Zhuohua lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

"You wait up here, I'll go down and take a look."

Wang Yan was somewhat worried. There must be something strange about this warm lake water. He didn't know if there was any danger below. He was a little uneasy about letting Zhuo Hua go down to investigate on his own.

"Wouldn't it be a bit unsafe for you to go down alone?"

Zhuohua understood Wang Yan's worries, and gently patted her chest, her small breasts swaying slightly: "Don't worry, don't underestimate me, I'm very strong."

She naturally had her reasons for saying that. The water was practically her home turf, not to mention that she had been nourished by Wang Yan before, and her spiritual salamander meridians had already reached the second level. Even if there were any dangers in the water, she could easily deal with them with her strength.

She deftly removed her clothes again, and a pink figure leaped into the water. Because she had been playing with Wang Yan so intently, she had broken off her tail, which would affect her entry into the water to some extent, but it wasn't a big problem.

Wang Yan waited on the shore for nearly ten minutes. Seeing that there was no movement on the water, he became increasingly anxious. He paced back and forth by the pool. If Zhuo Hua didn't come up soon, Wang Yan would have to go down and save her.

Fortunately, Zhuohua didn't keep Wang Yan waiting for long. With a ripple in the water, the pink figure reappeared from the pool. Wang Yan quickly went over and reached out to catch her, pulling Zhuohua ashore.

"Ouch—it's so hot!"

When Wang Yan touched Zhuo Hua's arm, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Zhuo Hua collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"The water down there... it's boiling! The deeper I go, the hotter it gets. I've dived almost two hundred meters, but I still can't see the end... I have no idea what's down there!"

"A very deep pool..."

Wang Yan guessed that there must be an extremely high-temperature heat source at the bottom of this pool, constantly heating the water, thus making the pool a temperature control system inside the cave, which would explain the lush vegetation around it.

Wang Yan gently draped a coat over Zhuohua, carried her to the campfire to dry off, and said thoughtfully:

"If we can't see it, then so be it. We'll talk about it again when we have the ability to go deeper."

According to Zhuohua, she dived to a depth of nearly 200 meters without being attacked by any dangerous creatures. This means that the shallow part of the pool is quite safe, and there would be no risk in settling down there.

Wang Yan and Zhuo Hua both felt this was a good place. After returning tomorrow, they would announce the relocation mission to the little beast girls and move there as soon as possible so they wouldn't have to stand guard against attacks from strange beasts every night.

The two snuggled under the covers, embraced each other, and slept without saying a word all night.

The next morning, Wang Yan and Zhuo Hua got up, packed their clothes, and hurried back home. It took them about an hour to get back.

The little beast girls at home weren't too worried about Wang Yan and his companion not returning home all night, because the strongest fighter in the family wasn't You Li, but Zhuo Hua.

Upon seeing the two return, the whole family of little beast girls rushed forward to greet them. Wang Yan didn't waste any time and directly told them about the upcoming move, which was quite a surprise to the little beast girls.

Yingluo: "Moving?"

Squeak: "Hmm...where are we moving to?"

Hanatsuki: "Is it far from here, meow?"

You Li: "..."

Wang Yan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, at which point Zhuohua spoke up:

"Not far from here, we also discovered that place yesterday. However, autumn is almost halfway over, and we need to move in before winter arrives. So, everyone should stop going out to collect materials these next few days and focus on preparing for the move."

Wang Yan waved his hand dismissively and said with a relaxed expression:

"No need to go to too much trouble. How much stuff do you have to move? Let me handle it all."

The system warehouse stores items by weight, with a maximum capacity of one ton, which is more than enough for moving.

For some reason, Hua Yue shook her head and reminded Wang Yan:

"It's not that I'm worried about how to move things, it's just... what about that winged woman in the cave, meow?"

Speaking of Delia, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. He had originally planned to let this elf who had fallen from the sky stay at home and recuperate, but he hadn't expected her to become addicted to sleeping. Almost a month had passed and there was still no sign of her waking up, which made Wang Yan quite annoyed.

"I'll go take a look."

As he spoke, Wang Yan was about to go inside to try and wake the sky sprite using some special methods. "We're moving soon, are you still sleeping?"

After a period of recuperation, Delia's injuries had long since healed, but her face still had an unnatural paleness. Wang Yan gently raised his hand and patted her cheek, and sure enough, there was no reaction at all, which was exactly what Wang Yan expected.

Zhuohua seemed to have thought of something, and an unnatural smile appeared on her lips. She quickly leaned close to Wang Yan's ear and whispered a few words.

Upon hearing Zhuo Hua's vicious plan, Wang Yan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in a low voice:

"Seriously? Are you really going to do this?"

Zhuohua winked playfully:

"Anyway, none of these Mililas are good people. If she doesn't wake up, you'll have had your fun. How about it? Want to give it a try?"
