Chapter 61: Yun Yun's Unusual Behavior
Wu Tian's storage ring didn't contain any seasonings after all, how could a dignified guardian spirit prepare such things?
So, the fish was simply roasted as it was. However, being grilled by the Green Lotus Core Flame elevated it to the pinnacle of its existence. The rich aroma filled the small cave.
"Wow~ it smells amazing!"
A soft and sweet voice reached Wu Tian's ears. But to him, it sounded more like a "meow~" a little greedy cat was getting hungry!
Wu Tian picked up the skewer and brought the grilled fish to Yun Yun's lips. With a straight face, he said, "You're not in a position to feed yourself. Open your mouth~! I'll feed you!"
Yun Yun's face flushed slightly. She nodded, parted her soft lips, and tried to take a bite. However, her delicate mouth was too small, leaving a bit of oil on the corners of her lips as she barely managed a tiny piece.
Wu Tian sighed and shook his head. Left with no choice, he tore off a piece of fish with his fingers and brought it to Yun Yun's mouth. Her lips slowly opened and moved gracefully.
Watching her chew delicately, Wu Tian suddenly felt his own eating habits were far too rough. However, just as she took the last bite from his fingers, he felt an unexpected soft, moist sensation.
Wu Tian blinked. Did Yun Yun just… suck on his finger? It seemed so after all, he had experienced this kind of thing with Medusa before. The sensation was all too familiar.
Yun Yun gazed at Wu Tian with her beautiful eyes, forming two crescent moons as she whispered, "I want more~~~!"
That gentle and slightly crisp voice was irresistible. Given that Yun Yun was currently weak, Wu Tian had no choice but to tear off another piece of fish and feed her.
Something felt odd. Yun Yun, a stunning beauty beyond compare, was eating so much? He had fed her an entire fish, and he had no idea how many times she had "accidentally" sucked on his fingers. Sigh~ this was exhausting.
After their meal, Yun Yun looked completely satisfied. She stared at Wu Tian with an unreadable expression. Being gazed at by a beauty like her was pleasant at first, but after a while, it became unsettling.
Wu Tian couldn't shake the feeling that Yun Yun was acting differently than before, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed. It was like having something on the tip of his tongue but being unable to say it.
So, he simply said, "Let's hide here for now. The entire Magic Beast Mountain Range is in turmoil, with even flying beasts searching from above. Staying here should keep us safe for the time being."
Yun Yun smiled softly. "Alright, I'll listen to you!"
Wu Tian: "..."
He was baffled. Why had Yun Yun become so obedient after he returned? She was acting like a gentle wife. If she had the strength to move, would she have tried to push him down?
As Wu Tian's thoughts ran wild, Yun Yun's voice drifted to his ears again.
"Wu Tian, you came to the Magic Beast Mountain Range for the Purple Spirit Crystal, right? And I assume you've already obtained it?"
"That's right."
Wu Tian nodded. There was no point in hiding it. Even if he denied it, Yun Yun would have already figured it out.
A guardian spirit of the Snake People Tribe, a peak Dou Huang expert there was no reason for someone like him to come to such a damp place unless it was for the Purple Spirit Crystal.
Besides, it was obvious he had succeeded. If Yun Yun were in his position, she would have stolen the crystal while the enemy was distracted in battle.
"Wu Tian… can you give me a piece? I can trade something for it." Yun Yun's gaze was incredibly gentle as she spoke.
"What do you have to trade?" Wu Tian asked, turning to her.
Yun Yun bit her lip lightly, her voice soft as she said, "How about… me? Would I be enough to trade for one piece?"
"..."
Wu Tian was dumbfounded. Was this still the Yun Yun he knew? The noble Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect? The change was too drastic! Why was she acting like Medusa now? Was she teasing him on purpose?
Feeling helpless, he took out a handful of Purple Spirit Crystals from his storage space and placed them in front of her. He had no interest in playing these games in a cave with just the two of them. He was worried that if he lost control, things might escalate too quickly.
After handing over the crystals, Wu Tian casually bid her goodnight, then lay on his blue lotus platform, closed his eyes, and started cultivating or rather, pretending to sleep.
Yun Yun blinked at the pile of Purple Spirit Crystals, then looked at Wu Tian, who had already lain down. Was it really this worthless? He just handed her a whole pile? Was he trying to compensate her for something?
She quietly observed Wu Tian's sleeping form. After a moment, she furrowed her brows and muttered, "What's going on? His cultivation technique is still running while he sleeps? Is he training even in his sleep? And I can't even determine its rank… He's truly mysterious!"
Shaking her head, she then chuckled softly, her laughter adding a warm hue to the cave. "But being so strong is a good thing! I need to train harder so I won't drag him down in the future!"
Determined, Yun Yun sat down and began dissolving the Purple Spirit Seal within her body.
Meanwhile, Wu Tian's eyes twitched slightly. He wasn't actually asleep.
With such a stunning beauty nearby, how could he possibly fall asleep? The scent of roasted fish had long faded, replaced by the faint fragrance of Yun Yun's body. How could he ignore that?
To avoid any awkwardness, he pretended to sleep while secretly listening to everything she said.
But when he heard Yun Yun say she didn't want to be a burden to him in the future, he became even more confused. She was treating him like family… No, to be more precise, like her man!
What the hell was going on? Why did this feel like The Return of the Condor Heroes, where Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu had just left the mountain?
Damn… was there a "Yin Zhiping" waiting in the shadows to ruin everything?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was off. Why was this situation so similar? No way he wasn't going to keep pretending to sleep!
He suddenly sprang up from his lotus platform, appearing right in front of Yun Yun.
Yun Yun was startled, staring at him with wide eyes. But as she processed what had just happened, her expression softened instead of showing any anger.
This… wasn't right!
Wu Tian felt awkward. From initial surprise to gentle acceptance why wasn't she upset? Her behavior was way too unusual!
He needed to get to the bottom of this.
"Yun Yun, why are you being so gentle with me?"
