Chapter 63: Hard Times
Wu Tian looked at Yun Yun, her eyes gently closed. He didn't need to guess what she was doing. But the real question was should he go for it, or not?
Her soft, delicate lips were right there, practically offered to him. If he didn't take the opportunity, he'd lose his dignity as a man. But if he did kiss her, who knew what kind of unpredictable consequences might follow?
And if his wife, Medusa, suddenly burst onto the scene in a fiery rage… that would be beyond awkward.
Wu Tian was stuck in a dilemma torn between hesitation, impulse, excitement, and…
"ROAR~~~"
Suddenly, a beast's roar echoed outside the cave, making both Wu Tian and Yun Yun's expressions change instantly.
Wu Tian quickly stood up, exchanging a serious look with Yun Yun. Both of them frowned.
Neither of them had expected a magical beast to show up so soon.
Moving to the entrance of the cave, Wu Tian reassured Yun Yun, "Don't worry. It's probably just a scouting beast. As long as we stay hidden, we should be fine. But if they do find us, I'll take you out of the Magic Beast Mountain Range."
Both of them had concealed their presence well. When entering the cave, they had even passed through water to mask their scent. It wouldn't be easy for the beasts to track them.
The roar outside likely came from one of the beasts sent by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King to search the area.
Yun Yun felt at ease hearing Wu Tian's words. With him around, she wasn't afraid of being discovered. Even if they were found, Wu Tian's terrifying strength would be more than enough to handle the situation.
Wu Tian stood at the cave entrance, sensing the auras of the beasts outside. Their strength wasn't particularly high only at the third rank. Compared to his power, they were nothing but ants.
However, to avoid attracting more trouble, he decided to let these "ants" live.
But soon, more magical beasts arrived both in the sky and on the ground.
The flying beasts hovered over the lake like a radar system, while the land beasts searched the surroundings in a coordinated manner, much like a human mercenary squad.
Wu Tian could feel a demonic wolf stopping just outside the cave. It sniffed the air carefully, but found nothing.
However, it didn't leave.
Their king had ordered them not to overlook any corner, and the waterfall in front of the cave seemed suspicious.
Still, the wolf was naturally averse to water. After stepping forward hesitantly, the cold splash of the waterfall made it recoil in annoyance.
Feeling uncomfortable from the dampness, it lost interest and decided to be lazy it simply turned around and left to report back.
Wu Tian relaxed when he sensed the wolf retreating. He couldn't afford to be discovered yet he needed Yun Yun to recover so she could help him with something important.
After about twenty minutes, the beasts finally moved on, continuing their search downstream.
"They're gone. We're safe now," Wu Tian said, turning back into the cave.
After speaking, he returned to his lotus platform, preparing to rest and cultivate. He needed to avoid further friction with Yun Yun and let her focus on dissolving the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's seal.
And so, three days passed in the cave.
By now, Yun Yun could move again, but she was unable to use her Dou Qi. In essence, she was now just an ordinary girl not the powerful Misty Cloud Sect leader she once was.
For three days, their routine was simple: eat and cultivate.
Of course, many… intimate moments occurred during that time.
Wu Tian had basically become Yun Yun's personal caretaker her male nurse. He attended to her every need, including situations that were… difficult to describe.
But on the third day, something unexpected happened.
It wasn't a beast attack it was something much more awkward.
Yun Yun's wound had healed significantly thanks to Wu Tian's diligent care. There was no more bleeding from her injury.
But… another type of red had started flowing.
Her face turned bright red. She stood there, flustered, completely at a loss.
She had completely forgotten about this while staying with Wu Tian. And now, it had come suddenly catching her completely off guard.
What do I do?! What do I do?!
In sheer embarrassment, she quickly retreated to her spot, pulling the blanket over herself to hide.
Wu Tian, of course, noticed right away. His sharp eyes had already figured out the reason for Yun Yun's sudden panic.
Ah, so that's what happened…
He found it amusing that she was so shy about it.
In his previous life, women had become so open about this topic that they'd announce it like they had won a lottery demanding care and attention from their boyfriends and male friends.
Compared to that, Yun Yun's embarrassed reaction was quite endearing.
And honestly… girls who got flustered over things like this were even more attractive.
Seeing her discomfort, Wu Tian quickly boiled some water and handed her a cup.
"Drink some hot water. If you need more, I'll make some. Careful, it's hot."
Yun Yun took the cup, feeling a warmth not just in her hands, but in her heart.
Before she could fully process the kindness, Wu Tian placed some neatly folded clothes beside her.
"These are my spare clothes. They're brand new never worn. You can use them."
After setting them down, he returned to his lotus platform and sat facing the wall, as if punishing himself in meditation.
Yun Yun's cheeks flushed even deeper.
He's so thoughtful…
She hadn't expected Wu Tian to be this understanding.
It seemed he truly lived up to his title as an elder of the Snake People Tribe his long life had certainly taught him a lot. He even knew exactly what a woman needed in a situation like this.
She couldn't help but wonder if they were outside right now, would he have been even more prepared?
A small, sweet smile appeared on her lips.
Her heart was already being stolen by this man.
Meanwhile, Wu Tian could hear the faint rustling of Yun Yun changing clothes in the cave.
His thoughts were spiraling.
How long is this suffering going to last…?
