"I'll listen to you!"
Yun Yun nodded.
Thus, the three people and one beast came to a pool of water. The Amethyst Winged Lion King lay on the mountaintop, silently guarding the surroundings. With a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast watching, the nearby small Demonic Beasts fled upon hearing the news, all of them having vanished long ago.
"Brother Yang, you and Sect Leader Yun chat. I'll do the cooking!" Carrying the giant ruler on his back, Xiao Yan spoke and walked toward the pool behind them, preparing to catch a few fish to roast.
"Cooking is fine. Put the normal seasonings, but don't add any other 'ingredients'!" Seeing Xiao Yan preparing to roast fish, Chen Yang thought of the absurd thing Yun Yun did in the original work.
However, considering that Xiao Yan was now almost a Third-Grade Alchemist, that kind of medicine he refined should have been thrown into a corner long ago, right?
"Huh???"
Xiao Yan scratched his head, not quite understanding what Chen Yang meant.
Seeing Xiao Yan's look, Chen Yang waved his hand helplessly, signaling him to do as he pleased.
In any case, he and Yun Yun were currently in a state of Perfection; at most, a Second-Grade level of "that kind" of medicine would have no effect on them.
Watching Xiao Yan get busy, Chen Yang took out two small stools from his storage ring and handed one to Yun Yun.
After Yun Yun took it, she learned from Chen Yang's example to open it, smoothed her skirt, and sat down elegantly.
As the two of them got closer, Chen Yang felt Yun Yun's surging Aura instantly rushing toward him.
"Yun Yun, the Cloud Mist Sect was once quite famous on the Fighting Qi Continent. When Yun Potian was traveling in the Central Plains, my Family also had some dealings with him. But why is it that now, as the Sect Master, you only have the strength of a Three-Star Dou Huang?" Chen Yang casually brought up some topics to talk with Yun Yun.
Yun Yun replied in a warm voice.
At this moment, the natural sounds of the Magical Beast Mountain Range were in their ears, and the fresh air mixed with the aroma of Xiao Yan's fire and roasting fish lingered around their noses.
The content of their chat gradually shifted from Sect anecdotes to cultivation exchanges, and then to their private lives.
When Chen Yang mentioned that both his parents were deceased, Yun Yun offered some comfort, and in her heart, she felt even closer to Chen Yang. She had also lost her parents at a young age before being adopted by Yun Shan.
As they communicated, the initial sense of strangeness between them gradually vanished, giving them a feeling of meeting an old friend late in life.
"Brother Yang, Sect Leader Yun, time to eat!"
Just then, Xiao Yan shouted from a distance.
"Coming!"
Chen Yang responded, stood up, looked at Yun Yun sitting on the small stool, and reached out his hand to her.
As a Dou Huang expert, Yun Yun naturally didn't need anyone to pull her up, but this was a small test by Chen Yang, a signal of friendliness. Moreover, the lingering effect of his life-saving grace was still there, and he was much stronger than her.
With all these conditions combined, Yun Yun had reasons to refuse this outstretched hand, but she also had reasons why she couldn't.
Looking at the large hand extended toward her, Yun Yun was momentarily dazed. She looked up at Chen Yang from below, a hint of shyness flashing across her pretty face.
"Come, let's go eat!"
Chen Yang acted as if he hadn't noticed anything, showing a jade-like smile and even giving his hand a little shake.
Yun Yun was silent for two and a half seconds, but there wasn't much struggle in her heart. Relatively speaking, there was more shyness.
If it were just the two of them, she would definitely have stood up calmly and moved past the topic. However, she noticed that Xiao Yan was watching this scene from a distance.
So, after hesitating for only two and a half seconds, Yun Yun gave a soft affirmation and then proactively placed her small hand in Chen Yang's, letting him pull her up.
However, after standing up, Yun Yun felt that she might have already blushed because she felt her face was a bit hot.
After pulling Yun Yun up, Chen Yang let go of her hand and walked toward Xiao Yan, carrying his small stool. Yun Yun reminisced about the feeling when their hands touched, reached out to touch her face, paused for a moment, and then followed him with her stool.
Chen Yang reached the water first. Looking at the fish Xiao Yan had roasted, he gave him a thumbs up. "You kid, even if you don't become an Alchemist in the future, you could support yourself by opening a grilled fish shop."
Xiao Yan chuckled, then glanced at Yun Yun and back at Chen Yang, using his Soul Power to speak in Chen Yang's mind: "Brother Yang, have you taken a fancy to Sect Leader Yun..."
