Chapter 205: Very Angry!
The fire waves raged fiercely, and the four terrifying fire spirits ravaged the entire cave. Wherever they passed, the Yin energy within the cave was burned away, and all the withered bones turned to nothing under the flames. As the last trace of cold energy was dissipated, the terrifying fire spirits slowly faded away.
With the fire spirits gone, the overwhelming heat also vanished.
At the same time, the Yin energy also disappeared. The cave now felt dry, with a warm feeling permeating the air. This clearly showed how terrifying the four fire spirits were; if it weren't for Yao Yan suppressing them, the space here would have collapsed.
Of course, it was still close to that happening.
Yao Yan swept his Hun power across the area and confirmed that the evil Hun was completely dead, leaving not even a trace of Hun power. He then turned to Yun Yun, who had a complex expression, and, looking at her stunningly beautiful face, softly said, "It's done."
Yun Yun took a deep breath, calming herself. The turbulent emotions she felt were a mix of shock at Yao Yan's strength and anger at the Life and Death Gate's secrets. Clearly, most of the past Sect Leaders who entered the Life and Death Gate for seclusion had died at the hands of the evil soul. Perhaps this was also the reason why Yun Lan Sect had never produced a Dou Zong expert.
How could one survive in seclusion in their own ancestral land if they were ambushed by an evil soul?
"Thank you, Young Master." She bowed deeply to Yao Yan, her words extremely sincere.
However, before she could fully bend, Yao Yan reached out and lifted her hands.
"There's no need for this. Aren't we friends?" Yao Yan looked into her cold eyes and spoke softly.
Yun Yun blinked her beautiful eyes and, instead of continuing the gesture of respect, slowly stood up. A soft smile appeared on her lips as she teasingly said, "I thought you were joking... Could it be that you truly have an interest in me?"
She immediately laughed lightly after saying this. It was clearly a joke, and she knew well about Yao Yan's relationship with Cai Die, so she had no intention of thinking otherwise.
"A graceful and virtuous lady, a gentleman's perfect match~ What if I said I really did?" Yao Yan, without hiding his thoughts, responded casually. Since he had such intentions, he thought it best to be open about it. After all, if he couldn't even take the first step, what was the use of simply thinking about it?
If Yun Yun brought up such a topic, even if it was in jest, Yao Yan didn't mind tearing down that thin veil and revealing his true thoughts.
Yun Yun was stunned for a moment, then replied, "But aren't you... with the Queen of the Snake Tribe, Medusa?"
"Both are to my liking."
Yao Yan said shamelessly, without a care.
What's wrong with a man having multiple wives? It's not like he can't handle it.
Yun Yun was left speechless. While the world didn't necessarily follow monogamy, at a certain level of strength, monogamy was almost a given, unless the woman was too weak to be anything more than a man's vassal.
Yun Yun, of course, wasn't the type of woman willing to be a subordinate. As the Sect Leader of Yun Lan Sect, she had her pride.
"You're just joking, right, Young Master?" Yun Yun smiled slightly, trying to brush off the topic with grace.
"But I'm not joking."
Yao Yan took a step forward, closing the distance with Yun Yun. His hand boldly reached out and pulled Yun Yun into his arms. With his physical strength, Yun Yun, who had just entered the Dou Huang stage, couldn't resist.
"You?!" Yun Yun glared at Yao Yan with a mix of anger and embarrassment. She had never expected such an action from him.
"Are you angry?"
Yao Yan gazed at Yun Yun's flushed face with great interest. The contrast between her usual calm and cold demeanor and her current state, flushed from emotion, was quite striking.
Yun Yun's breath became slightly quicker, her chest rising and falling, but her gaze turned cold as she stared at Yao Yan and resolutely said, "What do you want, Young Master?!"
If Yao Yan pushed too far, she wouldn't hesitate to fight back. At worst, they would both perish together!
"I want you~"
Yao Yan shamelessly squeezed her slender waist with his large hand, playing the rogue without any shame.
Yun Yun couldn't take it anymore and slapped Yao Yan across the face. However, Yao Yan caught her hand and, in the next moment, pulled her even closer, wrapping her in his embrace as his back wings spread out.
"I'm not joking. The formation here was just destroyed by me. It won't take long for it to collapse. If you don't want to be caught in the spatial turbulence, hold on tight to me."
Yao Yan's expression turned serious, no longer joking. He held Yun Yun and flew upward, reaching an incredible speed. If anyone were here, they would only see a streak of red and blue light flashing by.
Yun Yun, hearing his words, instinctively tightened her grip on Yao Yan's clothes. Her emotions were in turmoil, and as she looked at the place they were heading, she saw a rock wall ahead.
"Oh no, we're about to crash!"
Before she could even warn him, their figures collided with the rock wall, but just as they were about to crash, a spatial rift appeared and swallowed them whole.
With their figures swallowed by the spatial rift, everything before their eyes darkened. The surrounding space turbulence surged but was kept out by the sky-blue flames.
"Don't worry. I brought you in, so I'm confident I can take you out." Yao Yan looked down at the now flustered Yun Yun, smiling.
With his current strength, unless he encountered the same kind of spatial storm as before, normal space turbulence wouldn't cause him trouble. The fusion of three types of heavenly flames could block these spatial forces, and with his Hun power, short-term spatial travel was no problem.
Yun Yun looked at his incredibly handsome face, and her heart involuntarily began to beat faster. Among all the people she knew, Yao Yan's appearance was undoubtedly the most perfect. Even she, who wasn't particularly interested in looks, couldn't deny this fact.
How could there be a man this handsome in the world?
For a moment, the anger and embarrassment in her heart faded, but she still maintained a cold expression, carrying the unique aura of the Yun Lan Sect Leader. "Young Master, please don't joke with me like this in the future!"
She hadn't forgotten the things Yao Yan had said earlier. When she thought about them now, they still angered her.
"Who said what I said earlier was a joke?" Yao Yan looked at Yun Yun's cold face with a growing smile and teased, "I don't think it was a joke."
"…"
Yun Yun was rendered speechless. She hadn't expected that Yao Yan, after making such bold moves, wouldn't even feel guilty. Instead, he seemed to be teasing her. She had never seen anyone like him. He was extraordinarily talented, surrounded by so many beauties, so why was he still bothering with her and doing such things?
She had previously had some good feelings for Yao Yan, but now, she felt she had completely misjudged him.
"In a few days, I'll be heading to Zhongzhou. The next time we meet may be in over ten years. By then, things will likely be very different… I don't want to be just a passing figure in your life, even if that means leaving behind an impression, even if it's an unwanted one~"
Yao Yan explained softly. He knew that making a woman like him would take time, especially for a woman like Yun Yun. Ordinary means wouldn't win her heart, and even leaving a mark on her was nearly impossible.
Since he was going to Zhongzhou soon, and it might be a decade before they met again, he didn't mind being a little bolder.
Youth isn't youth if one doesn't act recklessly.
As for the consequences… at least Yao Yan didn't regret it in the moment. He even thought that Yun Yun's lips were soft and tender. As for the future, who could predict what would happen? If you don't act, that's what you'll regret.
Yun Yun continued to stay silent, completely thrown off by Yao Yan. He acted so shamelessly and with such confidence, leaving her unable to react properly.
In all the years, no one had dared to act this presumptuously with her, except for that one person, Yao Yan.
"Do you not worry about what will happen if Medusa, the Queen of the Snake People, finds out?"
Yun Yun took a deep breath, her eyes growing cold, pointing her sword at Yao Yan, and spoke in a deep voice.
"I'm not worried." Yao Yan smiled, "Because I know you won't tell Cai Die... Even if you did, it wouldn't matter. I just made the mistake that every man makes. After all, you're someone I'm very fond of."
"... Shameless!" Yun Yun was so angry she laughed through gritted teeth.
"I think I'm okay. At least I didn't do anything too outrageous, and I still maintained some restraint. Otherwise, in that cave earlier... maybe in a few months, Sect Leader Yun would be pregnant." Yao Yan said lightly.
Yun Yun clenched her teeth and almost spat out a sentence, "Should I thank you for your restraint!"
"No more jokes. It's getting late. I have to go. Say hello to the old Sect Leader for me. With his change in aura, he should be able to come out of seclusion in a few years... As for you, Yun Yun, you should focus on cultivating. Your strength is still too weak. If one day I truly can't control myself, don't blame me for not warning you."
After saying this, Yao Yan threw a spatial ring to Yun Yun.
Yun Yun caught it, about to refuse, but before she could say anything, Yao Yan turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky, his laughter ringing in her ears: "These pills are for you. I look forward to seeing you again… Your lips are very soft~"
As his last words echoed, Yun Yun's cold, beautiful face visibly reddened. She didn't know whether it was from anger or embarrassment, or maybe even she herself didn't know, but one thing was certain: she would never forget this shameless man!
She clenched the spatial ring tightly in her hand.
Once, she hadn't cared much for power, but now, for the first time, she felt an urge to surpass Yao Yan and beat him to the ground!
What's the reason for touching her like that?!!
...
...
Yao Yan didn't stay long in Yun Lan Sect. After handling things, he quickly flew towards the Snake People's territory. He went to the Life and Death Gate to confirm some suspicions. Just as he had guessed, there was no energy or coordinates leading to the Great Thousand World inside the gate. It was just an ordinary secret realm, with the only unusual thing being the evil Hun with the strength of a Two-Star Dou Zong.
As for teasing Yun Yun, that was intentional.
He didn't have time to slowly court Yun Yun, and since she brought it up, even in jest, Yao Yan didn't mind breaking the ice and revealing his intentions.
He wasn't the type to shy away.
In the future, he would eventually head to Zhongzhou. After ten years, their next meeting might feel like a whole different world.
Yao Yan didn't regret his actions, not even for a moment.
As for the consequences… He'd leave those for later. (END CHAPTER)
