The two of them ate small portions of food in the small cave, replenishing the energy they had expended throughout the day.
Gradually, the temperature began to drop.
A cold wind was already blowing where they were, occasionally giving them goosebumps.
Wan Qingyun reached out her hand, and true qi surged into the ground.
"Whoosh!"
With a flick of her delicate hand, Wan Qingyun caused a block of earth and stone to suddenly lift, blocking the cave entrance.
"How is it? It shouldn't be that cold now, right?" Wan Qingyun asked softly.
"Is it that amazing?" Jiang Junyi asked in surprise when he saw this.
Without the aid of the Shadow Heart, he wouldn't be able to do this; he could only break the ground.
"It's alright ~" Wan Qingyun smiled, "Oh, by the way, Junyi, do we have fire?"
"Yes, let me look for it."
After the cave was blocked, it was now completely dark inside.
Jiang Junyi rummaged through his bag and pulled out a small electric lamp.
"Click."
Light immediately illuminated the cave, reflecting on their faces.
"How long can this last?" Wan Qingyun asked curiously.
Jiang Junyi showed a smug smile: "This is amazing, 200 hours of super long battery life! Mom no longer has to worry about me being afraid of the dark!"
Wan Qingyun covered her mouth and laughed.
It was clearly a very dangerous situation, but with Jiang Junyi there, everything didn't seem so terrifying.
Wan Qingyun looked at the light, lost in thought for a while.
"What are you thinking about?"
Wan Qingyun turned her head: "Junyi, don't you have anything to ask me?"
Jiang Junyi smiled mysteriously.
Wan Qingyun:?
"You, what... do you mean?"
Jiang Junyi did not answer this question, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated one.
"Qingyun, are you cold?"
Wan Qingyun didn't understand why Jiang Junyi asked this question, but she still answered obediently.
"A little."
Jiang Junyi wrapped his arm around Wan Qingyun's waist, pulling her close to him.
"Don't blink."
"Whoosh—!"
The Shadow Heart instantly unfurled, covering Jiang Junyi's upper body.
The chaotic shadows covering his face immediately appeared!
Jiang Junyi watched Wan Qingyun's expression change from confusion to shock, and even to a feeling of being somewhat frozen later on.
Roughly ( ° ー ° 〃 ) — — ( ☉ _ ☉ ) — — ( ﾟ Д ﾟ ≡ ﾟ Д ﾟ )
"Lord, what are your commands?"
The arrogant and somewhat magical voice of Shadow immediately echoed in the cave.
"You! You! You, you, you!" Wan Qingyun stared, momentarily speechless.
Jiang Junyi pinched Wan Qingyun's chin: "Lord?"
"You are, Shadow?!" Wan Qingyun said in disbelief.
"Uh-huh."
Jiang Junyi wiped away the chaotic shadows on his face, revealing the familiar face of Wan Qingyun.
"Surprised? Unexpected?!"
Wan Qingyun was momentarily stunned, then she pinched the soft flesh at Jiang Junyi's waist.
It seems girls are naturally skilled at this.
"Ugh!"
"You good-for-nothing Jiang Junyi! Did you know about this all along?!"
"Hiss... Yes..."
"Was it fun to see me in the dark?"
"It... it was alright..."
"Alright?!"
"Ah, ah, ah! No, no, I just purely wanted to let loose a bit! And..."
"And what?"
Jiang Junyi's voice instantly became incredibly affectionate: "And, don't you think it's very romantic to secretly protect the person you love?"
"Romantic my foot! If something happened to you, wouldn't I know nothing?!"
Wan Qingyun immediately started scolding him.
Suddenly, she paused, remembering the weak Jiang Junyi that day.
"Ah ~ So you were so weak that one time because you killed Lin Xiu the day before, right?"
"Uh, yes."
"And that other time you said you had something to do, you went abroad for a mission, right?"
"Mm..."
"Jiang Junyi!"
"Oh, no!"
"Ugh!"
Jiang Junyi didn't care about anything else; he first covered Wan Qingyun's mouth.
After a long time, their lips parted.
"Calm down," Jiang Junyi smiled.
Wan Qingyun's agitated emotions also seemed to have calmed down a bit, and her small face flushed slightly.
Why was she blushing?
Because Jiang Junyi was Shadow at this moment!
Her subordinate suddenly turned into her husband, and, and he even forcefully kissed her.
"You... you're so bad... this is insubordination..." Wan Qingyun whispered.
"Huh? When I was Shadow, I was very well-behaved, you know, I didn't tease you or play tricks on you."
Upon hearing this, Wan Qingyun pretended to be fierce and said, "If I didn't know you were Shadow, and you dared to do that, I would kill you on the spot!"
"Mm ~ Lord is so majestic ~"
"You! Don't use that tone!"
Now, hearing Jiang Junyi say the words "Lord" felt so embarrassing to her!
"Hahahaha! Alright, alright ~"
Jiang Junyi hugged Wan Qingyun tightly and whispered, "In short, it was indeed my fault for hiding it from you..."
Wan Qingyun also whispered, "I... I also hid things from you..."
There was no right or wrong in this matter; hiding things did not mean a lack of trust in the other person.
It was just that each had their own considerations.
"Do you have anything else you're hiding from me?" Wan Qingyun suddenly pulled away from Jiang Junyi's chest, looking at him suspiciously.
She had a feeling this guy was still hiding other things.
Jiang Junyi scratched his cheek. Should he really say it?
Wan Qingyun narrowed her eyes and leaned closer to Jiang Junyi: "Jiang, Jun, Yi?"
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
"You really do!"
"I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Wan Qingyun tugged at Jiang Junyi's collar, puffing out her cheeks and saying, "Hurry up and tell me!"
"Actually, I have people in Xingluo Daycare Center..."
"Huh?!"
"Only three! Three!"
"Wang Hao, Liu Liu, Qi Qi?"
"Uh-huh..."
"Bastard! Do you think this place is a distillery?!"
"It's still, a little better than a distillery, right?"
Wan Qingyun flailed her arms slightly for a while, then said in a deflated tone, "So you've been helping me all along?"
"Yes, it's nothing; it's foolish not to use resources when you have them."
Jiang Junyi patted Wan Qingyun's head.
"Moreover, this is a good thing for Wang Hao and the others. They've been stuck at the peak of Innate for a long time. If it weren't for you, who knows when they would have been able to break through to Lesser Grandmaster."
Wan Qingyun's eyes lit up at this: "So, your three people have completely become Black Court's, then?"
Jiang Junyi pinched Wan Qingyun's nose: "What's the difference?"
"That's true."
Thinking of this, Wan Qingyun still couldn't help but punch Jiang Junyi: "You scoundrel!"
Jiang Junyi gently hugged Wan Qingyun tightly: "I'm very fortunate to have such abilities..."
Wan Qingyun was slightly stunned upon hearing this, and she pressed herself tightly against Jiang Junyi's chest: "Yes..."
She was also very fortunate at this moment to be the Lord, possessing abilities that ordinary people did not have.
"So what are we? Mr. and Mrs. Smith?"
"Hehe, something like that, or maybe it could be called—My other half is a hidden big shot?"
The two of them leaned against each other, laughing softly.
Strands of cold wind blew in, and Jiang Junyi felt Wan Qingyun's body tremble slightly.
"It's getting late..."
Jiang Junyi unfurled Shadow, enveloping Wan Qingyun.
"Sleep, Lord."
"You! Don't! Call me that here!"
"Alright, alright ~"
"Hurry up and rest."
"Hmph!"
"Tsk, Lord is too cute. Let me commit insubordination again."
"No... You, ugh!"
