Inside the cave.
The campfire crackled and popped.
Several fish were roasting over the campfire, passed around on wooden sticks.
Xu Qi and Yun Yun sat facing each other, the flickering flames reflecting on their faces.
After several days of rest, Yun Yun's injuries have improved considerably, but the seal within her body has not loosened at all.
So during this time, Xu Qi stayed in the cave, occasionally going out to catch a few fish or pick some wild fruit to eat.
"These past few days, the magical beasts outside have been making quite a racket," Xu Qi reported to Yun Yun while flipping the grilled fish.
"They won't give up so easily. But don't worry, once I break the seal, I won't be afraid of them anymore." Yun Yun said, but her eyes were fixed on the grilled fish in Xu Qi's hand.
She can only eat, not bake—not because she's lazy or doesn't want to, but because she really doesn't know how.
A few days ago, she tried to grill a fish herself, and it turned into charcoal.
From then on, Xu Qi wouldn't let her cook; she had to eat what he had cooked first.
Is this almost ripe?
Compared to the situation outside, Yunyun is now more concerned about when the grilled fish in Xu Qi's hand will be cooked.
"Almost there, just add some seasoning and it'll be ready to eat."
Xu Qi turned around and, among the pile of herbs beside him, precisely found a tender white-flowered herb, crushed it, and dripped the juice onto the grilled fish.
This is a medicinal herb that can be used for seasoning, and it has a very special flavor. It can add saltiness and a savory aroma, and it can perfectly remove the fishy smell.
This is what Xu Qi found.
"It smells so good!"
As soon as the juice of the white flower grass was dripped onto the cave and then roasted over a fire, a rich and refreshing fragrance immediately filled the cave.
Yun Yun's appetite was immediately whetted, and her eyes were glued to the grilled fish.
"It's ready to eat."
Seeing her like this, Xu Qi felt helpless and handed her the grilled fish.
"Hehe, thanks!"
Yun Yun happily accepted the grilled fish, slightly pouting her pink lips, gently blowing on it, and then eagerly took a bite.
"Hot hot hot hot..."
The steaming hot fish seemed to dance in her mouth, burning her so much that she cried out repeatedly, but she just couldn't bear to spit it out.
Finally, she swallowed it, and the magical and delicious taste spread across her tongue, making her eyes light up.
"Mmm! Delicious!"
"Eat more if you like it, there's plenty of grilled fish." Xu Qi smiled gently.
Although she was the leader of a sect, Yun Yun clearly did not act like one at this moment.
Her cautious demeanor, somewhat helpless expression, and the specks of black ash on her face made Yun Yun, who was originally beautiful and charming, lose some of her nobility and gain more of her playful cuteness.
Yes, it's really beautiful, a feast for the eyes.
Xu Qi also started eating grilled fish.
The fish were still grilling over the campfire. Yunyun quickly finished one and then started eyeing the second grilled fish.
As soon as Xu Qi saw her like this, he knew what she was up to.
"This one is cooked too. Just add some white clover as a seasoning and it'll be ready to eat."
"I'll do this, you don't need to bother."
Yun Yun volunteered, grabbed a few medicinal herbs next to Xu Qi, and then, imitating him, crushed the leaves to let the juice drip down.
After doing all that, she couldn't wait to start eating.
The first bite... tasted a bit strange, not like before.
"Could it be that we didn't put in enough?"
Yunyun crushed a few more leaves of white clover and dripped the juice onto them, allowing it to seep into the fish meat.
This time the taste is just right!
The eight grilled fish were quickly devoured by the two of them.
"I'm so full~" Yunyun leaned against the wall, her pretty face full of contentment.
This was the first time in so many days that she had ever thought grilled fish tasted so good.
"By the way, Sect Master, I haven't asked you yet, why did you come here?" In his spare time, Xu Qi took the initiative to start a conversation.
He knew perfectly well why Yun Yun was here, but it seemed rather strange not to ask.
Yun Yun thought for a moment and said, "I need the Purple Spirit Crystal of the Purple Winged Lion King. It's useful."
"Oh, no wonder you fought with the Amethyst Winged Lion King. But the Amethyst Winged Lion King seems quite powerful; even you, Sect Master, are no match for him."
"I was careless this time. I didn't expect it to have sealing techniques. But I'm more experienced now. I might not be able to beat it next time I face it." Yun Yun said, shifting her body slightly awkwardly.
For some reason, she suddenly felt very hot.
"Xu Qi, don't you feel hot?"
"Hot? No, not at all." Xu Qi didn't feel anything, but he noticed that Yun Yun's pretty face was flushed.
"Sect Leader, why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"
He quickly walked over and reached out to touch Yun Yun's forehead.
This touch had no effect; Yun Yun immediately felt an unusual restlessness within her body, as if some feeling was driving her to get closer to Xu Qi.
She did the same, her delicate body involuntarily leaning forward against Xu Qi.
The delicate, warm scent enveloped Xu Qi, sending shivers down his spine.
"Sect Master, what are you doing?"
"I don't know... I feel so hot." Yun Yun's consciousness was a little hazy, and her delicate body twisted involuntarily.
But she was clinging to Xu Qi, which immediately stirred up the young man's temper.
But Xu Qi knew that Yun Yun's condition was clearly not right.
Until he caught sight of a medicinal herb on the ground—the one Yun Yun herself had dripped onto the grilled fish.
It looks a lot like white flower grass, both having small white spots on their green leaves.
The only difference is that the roots of this herb are gray, while the roots of the white flower grass are white.
This herb is not white flower grass, but white flower grass!
It can greatly stimulate human desire and is a raw material for various aphrodisiacs!
"Sect Master, it seems you accidentally ingested the Hundred-Colored Herb..."
"Hundred-Colored Grass?!"
Although Yun Yun was not an alchemist, she had heard of some common medicinal herbs.
Baise grass is one of them.
"How could this be... Why did you bring back the Hundred-Colored Grass?!" Yun Yun's heart was in turmoil.
She certainly knew the effects of the herb, and her current physical condition proved that it was working.
"Me too... um."
Xu Qi had just opened his mouth when he was silenced by soft, fragrant lips.
Yunyun took the initiative and kissed him passionately.
This was not her intention, but her intention was utterly insignificant compared to the Hundred-Colored Grass.
Furthermore, with her cultivation currently sealed, she is unable to suppress the effects of the Hundred-Colored Grass.
Xu Qi did not get to eat the Hundred Color Grass.
But at this very moment!
With Yun Yun being so proactive, and a beautiful woman in his arms, surrounded by fragrance, even if he hadn't eaten the Hundred Color Grass, the effect would be almost the same.
He couldn't help himself and took the initiative to hug Yunyun tightly.
"Hmm..."
Although Yun Yun took the initiative under the influence of the Hundred-Colored Grass, she was strongly opposed to it.
But the body tells a different story.
Moreover, Xu Qi's response made her feel even more restless and agitated.
"Xu Qi, we...we can't do this..."
In the midst of her struggle, she managed to squeeze out these words, but her body grew increasingly passionate as she clung to Xu Qi.
But those words did nothing to quell Xu Qi's anger...
...
