Battle Through the Heavens (Vol.1)

Chapter 134: Cohabitation in the Cave

On a small mountain peak, Xiao Yan laid on his belly as his gaze continuously swept across the surroundings. Because of the Amethyst Winged Lion, the Magic Beasts in the Magic Beast Mountain range were much more agitated than usual. Luckily the medicine powders made by Yao Lao were very effective; although Magic Beast would occasionally appear, after they smelled the irritating smell, they all hurriedly left the area. Thus, during these two days, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were never discovered

"Hey, with that woman by your side, you will always have trouble. Do you plan to continue this way?" Yao Lao floated out of the ring as he smiled and said.

"Heh heh, that is a Dou Yellow level practitioner, if there's a chance to make her owe me a favor, it can be counted as a long-term investment. What is this bit of danger compared to that?" Xiao Yan's palm slapped away the branches blocking his route as he chuckled.

"More like you're taking advantage of her weakest moment to......'ah ah'. This way, you would have a Dou Emperor bodyguard, allowing you to do whatever you want in the Jia Ma Empire." Yao Lao disrespectfully let out a suggestive laugh as he teased.

Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yan muttered, "I'd love to but if I did that, I'll be the first one to be killed when she recovers."

"Alright, out watch has ended, let's return." Once again surveying the now peaceful surroundings, Xiao Yan waved his hand, not bothering to argue with Yao Lao over this pointless topic. He leaped out from the pile of rocks before jumping down the small mountain peak, full of vigor.

Returning Yao Lao into the ring, Xiao Yan jogged and after a few minutes, he returned to the cool cave.

After entering the cave, he saw that the mysterious woman who was originally lying on the stone bed was now resting her cheek on her palms as she sat idly on a slab of rock. As she saw Xiao Yan return, she could not help but faintly smile and say, "You've returned."

Xiao Yan smiled as he nodded in reply, carrying the mysterious heavy ruler. He walked closer and took out a few fat fish he had caught under the waterfall from the Storage Ring. He seated himself on the ground, lit a fire and casually asked "Are you better now?"

The mysterious woman slowly stood up, bringing waves of faint fragrance as she arrived at Xiao Yan's side. Slightly knitting her black brows, she lightly sighed, "Flesh wounds are not a big problem but the Seal Technique will need at least a few days to undo."

"Hide here for that period of time then, they should not be able to find this place." Skewering the fish on tree sticks, Xiao Yan placed them on a rack over the flame and then turned his head to gaze upon the mysterious woman beside him.

Because the silk dress worn by the woman was already in tatters, she was currently wearing Xiao Yan's black gown. When others wore it, the black looked somewhat heavy on them, yet, on her body, the fine curves on her exquisite figure added a mysterious charm to it. As she moved with lotus steps, a section of her jade, snow white calves were faintly discernable, a rather enchanting sight.

Gracefully seating herself, the beautiful eyes of the mysterious woman stared at Xiao Yan as he continuously sprinkled seasoning on the fish, smiling while she said, "You have guts. To dare to enter the inner area of the Magic Beast Mountain Range with the strength of a Dou Practitioner."

"No choice, I was chased inside." Xiao Yan smiled, turning back his head to ask, "Right, what's your name?"

"Yun Zhi." The mysterious woman replied with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes.

"Yao Yan." From the jade bottle, Xiao Yan sprinkled some meticulously matched up seasoning as he casually answered. Yun Zhi? He had never heard news of the Jia Ma Empire having a Dou Emperor of that name. Thinking about it, it was likely that she was hiding her true identity.
