"Just a simple 'thank you' and that's it?" Lei Qi looked at her, slightly dissatisfied.
Yun Yun wanted to say: What else do you want?
But after all, it was him who had saved her. Though his behavior wasn't exactly proper, at least she no longer felt the intense pain. As for her internal Dou Qi being sealed—that wasn't Lei Qi's fault.
"Once my Dou Qi breaks free from the seal, I'll give you another reward," Yun Yun said.
"What kind of reward can you offer?" Lei Qi countered.
"Well…"
Yun Yun hesitated for a moment.
Judging by appearances, Lei Qi seemed to be about the same age as her student, Nalan Yanran, but his strength was clearly not weaker than hers.
After all, he had saved her in the sky.
Someone capable of that surely had a significant background. What kind of reward could she even offer? Yun Yun felt genuinely troubled.
"Looking at how beautiful you are, offering yourself is a fair trade," Lei Qi said with a smile.
"You… shameless man!"
Hearing this, Yun Yun's heart tightened in anger.
"How am I shameless? I didn't take advantage of you while you were in danger. You're the one giving me a title out of nowhere—doesn't seem fair, does it?"
Yun Yun's face turned pale.
If Lei Qi were to make a move, she would clearly have no means of resisting.
Instinctively, she rose and put some distance between herself and Lei Qi.
The black robe truly was exclusive to Yun Yun. When others wore it, the heavy black fabric seemed imposing, but on her body, the robe highlighted her delicate curves and added an air of mystery. Each step revealed glimpses of her jade-like white calves, faint and alluring.
"Dabai, can you not be so foolish? Look at the situation—if I really wanted to do something, running outside the cave wouldn't help," Lei Qi said, appreciating the elegant sight of Yun Yun in the black robe, his tone full of playful amusement.
The feeling of teasing prey while admiring her attire was fully satisfying.
Of course, the process was slightly torturous.
"My name is Yun Yun, not Dabai," Yun Yun said, displeased at Lei Qi's flippant gaze.
"You know how to focus on what matters," Lei Qi replied.
Yun Yun sighed in frustration. "What exactly do you want?"
"The current sect leader of Yun Lan Sect—turns out you're ungrateful, huh? Tsk tsk," Lei Qi feigned disappointment.
"You… I…"
Yun Yun didn't expect him to know her background, but it made sense. In her panic earlier, she had said her name.
Now, Lei Qi bringing up Yun Lan Sect made things difficult. She didn't want to disgrace her sect. Growing up in Yun Lan Sect, it was her whole world.
"Then just kill me!"
The moral pressure was almost unbearable.
"I risked offending a dominant beast to save you. And now, like this… fine, I don't need your reward," Lei Qi waved his hand dismissively.
"You…"
Yun Yun wanted to argue, but somehow, Lei Qi's words sounded reasonable.
"So, offering yourself is actually the simplest repayment. Think about it—without me, you'd already be dead. This is destiny," Lei Qi continued.
"Don't worry, you won't recover immediately. Take some time to think it over."
With that, Lei Qi walked outside the cave.
Having such a perfect beauty right in front of him, restraining himself was not easy—but he intended to enjoy it fully.
Watching Lei Qi leave, Yun Yun felt conflicted. She had thought about ending her life, but when facing death, anyone feels fragile. Yun Yun, being a woman, naturally wouldn't take her own life lightly.
After leaving the cave, Lei Qi plunged into the water with a splash.
Having been in this world for over a decade, Lei Qi, who loved indulgence, was immediately captivated by Yun Yun's mature figure—far more alluring than Cao Ying.
Seeing a river crab swim by, Lei Qi sneered, suppressing the restless dragon within.
Splash!
Ten minutes later, Lei Qi emerged from the water. The cool mountain spring refreshed him somewhat, though not completely. Seeing Yun Yun's beauty, he suddenly thought of someone easier to pursue.
A shrewd merchant always seeks profit—he should have first found that fox. Though lacking cultivation talent, she would surely be skilled in certain arcane arts.
Hmm, when Yun Yun leaves in the future, he must bring that enchanting woman under his control.
Afterwards, Lei Qi instructed Zhang Yi to return and tell everyone he was out cultivating for a while.
He himself hunted some wild game and returned to the cave.
Although he had herbs for the occasion, such methods were unsuitable for him. If arousal required such tricks, understanding her internally would be simpler and more direct.
When Lei Qi brought the prey back, Yun Yun, who had been lost in thought, snapped back to attention.
Seeing the prey Lei Qi carried, she stood, releasing a faint fragrance as she approached him. "What do you want me to do?"
Only then did Yun Yun realize she had never interacted with such things before.
She had no idea what to do.
"Act like you know what you're doing?" Lei Qi teased.
"Hmph!"
Feeling scorned, Yun Yun pouted and gracefully sat down, quietly observing.
"For someone as pure as you, offering yourself is something I'd even have to consider," Lei Qi said.
"You're the flower vase… who would marry you!" Yun Yun quickly retorted, realizing her earlier words were inappropriate.
"You'd be perfect as my concubine, only needing to stay beautiful," Lei Qi said softly, leaning closer to her ear.
"Eep~"
Yun Yun trembled slightly at the close contact. She had never been this close to a man before.
As for Lei Qi's words about being a concubine, she instinctively ignored them.
Seeing her red-cheeked, obedient, and motionless, Lei Qi turned his attention back to roasting the wild game.
Although life inside the Lei Clan's inner territories had taught him luxury, he hadn't enjoyed it for long. Being resourceful, he preferred survival skills.
Gurgle gurgle~
Yun Yun wanted to deny she was hungry, but unfortunately, her stomach betrayed her.
Hearing it growl, she grew even more embarrassed.
