Battle Through The Heavens Book 1

Chapter 137 Breaking The Seal

The scene inside the cool and refreshing cave was strange and dangerous; a woman held a long sword at a young man's throat.

The icy feeling on his throat caused numerous goosebumps to appear all over Xiao Yan's body. He raised his hands and bitterly smiled in a manner that hoped to clear up any misunderstandings, "I did not do that thing to you."

Hearing this, Yun Zhi's pretty face became a little flushed. In her heart, she thought: You may not have done that to me, but is there any difference between what you have done and that thing?

A glint appeared in her beautiful eyes but the long sword in Yun Zhi's hand did not make the slightest movement. She shifted her gaze and saw the very red hand print on Xiao Yan's face. Evidently, that was the spot where the slapping sound in the cave had originated from.

Staring at the somewhat comical looking hand print, the iciness in Yun Zhi's eyes became a little warmer. A long while later, she let out a dejected sigh and weakly withdrew her long sword before walking towards the interior of the cave. When she passed Xiao Yan, she said blandly, "We will just pretend that whatever happened today did not happen. Otherwise, if the story spreads, it won't be beneficial for you."

Standing on the same spot, Xiao Yan eyed Yun Zhi's graceful and attractive curves from her back before closing his eyes and releasing a bitter sigh. Indeed, such things ought to be forgotten. Compared to her status, he was like a toad that sat at the bottom of a well. Even though the toad had managed to become intimate with the swan because it had fallen into trouble, the vast sky was ultimately where the swan truly belonged while the toad would only be able to stay in the well, staring at the sky.

Dou Huang, a divide that was very difficult to surmount. Maybe Xiao Yan would have the opportunity to step over it but at the very least, it would not be now. This proud and noble woman would also not believe that a young man with only the strength of a Dou Zhe would be able to achieve that level. Xiao Yan may have talent but that did not mean that he would be able to become a Dou Huang.

"A dream leaves no traces..." Xiao Yan shook his head and whispered as he followed Yun Zhi further into the cave. Watching the cold faced Yun Zhi who had shut her eyes as she attempted to break the seal, he shrugged his shoulders. He sat down at a corner, closed his eyes and began training his Dou Qi

Following the quietness of the two, an awkward and embarrassing atmosphere descended into the interior of the cave. It appeared that the pair had difficulty returning to the harmony of the past few days.

The silent atmosphere persisted until noon. During this time, Xiao Yan went out to catch a few fish and was absent minded sitting beside the fire and rotating the wooden rod. His heart suddenly became aware of something and lifted his head, only for his gaze to clash with a pair of livid beautiful eyes.

The two gazes met and instantly shifted away, acting as though nothing had happened.

Xiao Yan rotated the grilled fish once more before extracting one of them and handing it over to Yun Zhi.

"You can eat it. I'm not hungry." Yun Zhi lowered her head as she softly said. Just as she said those words, she felt her abdomen contract. However, she remained stubborn, closing her eyes and ignored her stomach's protest.

"Relax. That thing has already been disposed of by me." Seeing that Yun Zhi's refusal to receive the fish, Xiao Yan could only smile and utter a cold joke.

Yun Zhi opened her eyes, pressed her lips closely together and lifted her head only to find a young man with a warm smile beside the fire. A softness flashed in her eyes. It was undeniable that this delicate and handsome look of Xiao Yan's along with his age gave others the impression of a harmless person.
