"Senior, can you come out?"
After coming out of the cave, Xiao Feng said to the air.
The moment those words left Xiao Feng's mouth, Yun Yun's pupils contracted slightly.
Discovered? Impossible!
She had concealed her aura from the beginning. Even Dou Hunahs would find it difficult to notice her presence. Yet this little fellow had accurately pointed out that someone was hiding nearby.
For a moment, Yun Yun remained motionless. She wanted to see whether Xiao Feng was merely testing his surroundings or if he had truly discovered her.
However, Xiao Feng simply stood there calmly and his gaze was directed toward the group of trees where she was hiding.
A few breaths passed.
Seeing no response, Xiao Feng scratched his cheek.
"Senior, you don't have to hide anymore."
"I know you've been following us since the Black Thunder Leopard appeared."
"..."
Yun Yun's heart skipped a beat.
He actually knew. Not only had he discovered her presence, he had discovered her from the very beginning.
This time, Yun Yun truly couldn't remain calm.
Had she underestimated him from the start?
After a brief silence, a gentle breeze suddenly swept through the forest and the leaves rustled softly.
Yun Yun descended from the sky and landing lightly on the ground. Her beautiful eyes quietly studied Xiao Feng.
Only after Yun Yun descended from the sky and stood before him did Xiao Feng finally get a clear look at her appearance.
For a moment, even he was slightly absent-minded.
Beautiful.
Extremely beautiful.
This was the first thought that appeared in his mind.
Her skin was fair as jade, seemingly flawless and her facial features were exquisite and refined, as though they had been carefully carved by the heavens themselves.
Her figure was tall and graceful, and her long black hair cascaded behind her like a waterfall, swaying softly with the wind.
The green robes she wore fluttered gently in the mountain breeze, outlining her elegant curves without appearing the slightest bit vulgar.
The moonlight filtering through the forest seemed to gather around her, adding an almost dreamlike beauty.
If Nalan Yanran was a blooming flower still in her youthful years, then Yun Yun was a fully blossomed flower at the peak of its beauty.
She possessed a mature elegance and charm that young girls simply could not compare with.
Even Xiao Feng, who had seen countless beautiful characters in anime and games from his previous life, couldn't help but admire her appearance.
No wonder she was one of the most popular female characters in Battle Through the Heavens.
Seeing her in person was completely different from seeing her on a screen.
While Xiao Feng was observing her, Yun Yun was also observing Xiao Feng.
When she noticed the amazement in his eyes, she wasn't surprised. Her reputation as number one beauty of Jiama Empire was no boast. She was quite confident in her appearance.
What surprised her though was that Xiao Feng's gaze was extremely pure without a hint of evil in his eyes.
But that's only to be expected. He is just a kid and he is so dense that he didn't notice the changes in Yanran, how could he possibly have those kinds of thoughts.
In fact, Yun Yun was wrong this time. The reason Xiao Feng's gaze was so pure when he looked at these beauties was not because he didn't have desire for them.
On the contrary, his desires were extremely strong.
The reason his gaze remained so pure had nothing to do with innocence or ignorance.
It was simply because Xiao Feng liked Yun Yun. That's right he liked Yun Yun but don't mistake this liking for love or desire. His liking was pure appreciation for beauty.
Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, Xun'er, Xiao Yu, etc they were all his waifu in the past. But precisely because they were his waifus that he never wanted to see them look at him and feel disgusted.
It was this subconscious thought which made his eyes look very pure.
Of course, Xiao Feng himself wasn't aware of this.
To him, it was only natural.
If you genuinely liked someone, why would you intentionally make them uncomfortable?
Meanwhile, Yun Yun naturally couldn't know what was going through his mind.
All she knew was that the child before her was becoming increasingly mysterious.
Yun Yun looked at the child in front of her and asked softly, "How did you do it? How did you discover me?"
This was the question Yun Yun cared about the most.
Xiao Feng scratched his cheek.
"It's difficult to explain. My perception is a little special."
A little special?
The corner of Yun Yun's mouth twitched slightly.
Being able to discover a hidden Dou Huang was something he described as a little special?
This little fellow truly didn't seem to understand how shocking he was.
Looking at his innocent expression, Yun Yun suddenly felt somewhat helpless.
Normally, when facing someone with so many secrets, she would continue probing. Yet for some reason, when facing Xiao Feng, she didn't feel like forcing the issue. Instead, her curiosity only grew stronger.
"Do you know who I am?" Yun Yun suddenly asked.
"I don't know your name. But Senior should be an Elder of Miss Nalan." Xiao Feng said calmly.
Although he knew almost everything about her, he could say it or it be very suspicious.
"Oh? Why do you think so?"
Xiao Feng pointed toward the cave behind him.
"Because Senior followed us the whole way. If you were an enemy, you would have appeared long ago and if you were a stranger, you wouldn't secretly protect Nalan Yanran. So the most likely answer is that Senior is someone close to her."
Yun Yun nodded slightly. His reasoning was simple, and there was nothing wrong with it.
However, she quickly noticed something.
"Elder?"
A strange smile appeared on Yun Yun's beautiful face.
"Do I look that old?"
"Ahem."
Xiao Feng coughed awkwardly. Only now did he realize his wording seemed somewhat inappropriate.
"Then Senior Sister?"
The strange smile on Yun Yun's face immediately became a little brighter.
Although she knew Xiao Feng was only trying to correct himself, being called Senior Sister was clearly more pleasant than being called Elder.
This little fellow was surprisingly good at talking.
"So little fellow, why did you call me out?" Yun Yun didn't correct him. She folded her arms and looked at him with amusement.
Xiao Feng looked at Yun Yun for a moment before speaking.
"Actually, I wanted to ask what does the Senior intend to do with Miss Nalan? Why did you let her face that third rank Black Thunder Leopard."
"Call Sister. Senior makes me sound Old. By the way, my name is Yun Zhi!"
Yun Yun corrected him with a faint smile and gave her pseudo name.
"Then... Sister Yun Zhi?"
The smile on Yun Yun's face became even brighter.
"That sounds much better."
For some reason, hearing this little fellow call her Sister, Yun Yun felt rather pleasant. Perhaps it was because his tone was completely sincere and lacked any intention of flattering her. Most people addressed her respectfully because of her strength and status.
Xiao Feng, however, treated her as though she were simply an older sister.
"Then can Sister Yun Zhi answer my question?"
"Well..."
Yun Yun was silent for a moment then sighed.
"I didn't expect you to care about Yanran in such a short time."
"About your Question, last night, Yanran sneaked out of the training camp and ventured out alone. Guess why she only encountered the Black Thunder Leopard today."
"Yanran, she has a very strong talent but she is also very arrogant and naughty. This time, I wanted to use the Black Thunder Leopard to teach her lesson to make her understand that she should think think about the consequences before doing anything."
"I wanted to let her understand that the Magical Beast Mountain Range is not her sect. No one here is obligated to accommodate her."
A trace of helplessness appeared in Yun Yun's eyes.
"Unfortunately, I underestimated her stubbornness. That girl would rather fight until she exhausted all her Dou Qi than retreat."
"As expected, Sister Yun Zhi is very gentle person, you probably planned to save Miss Nalan if I hadn't appeared, right?"
Xiao Feng showed a thoughtful look and smiled.
Yun Yun was slightly startled. She hadn't expected Xiao Feng to arrive at the answer so quickly.
"Of course. Yanran is my junior disciple. How could I possibly watch her die? At most, she would have suffered a little before learning her lesson."
Yun Yun continued to play the role of Senior Sister and respond to Xiao Feng.
"Then Sister, can you tell me your the location of the group from your sect. I will take Miss Nalan there tomorrow once she is healed. I promised her."
"Hm, you really care about her. Unfortunately, i have sent them back already. So I can't give you any location. How about this, I will take Yanran back tomorrow. What do you think?"
"Okay!"
"Then Sister do you want to come in?" Xiao Feng invited her.
Yun Yun's smile faltered when she heard his question.
How could she go in? Yanran is inside, if she went in then her Senior Sister identity won't hold up.
"No, I will just meet you tomorrow morning. So there is no need."
How could she go in?
If she stepped inside now, Nalan Yanran would immediately notice her presence. All the "Senior Sister Yun Zhi" explanation would collapse in an instant.
She gently shook her head, "No, I will meet you tomorrow morning. There's no need to go inside."
Xiao Feng looked at her for a second, then nodded as if he understood nothing unusual at all.
"Alright."
His calm acceptance made Yun Yun feel slightly relieved.
