Chapter 91

Boom!

Xiao Yan skillfully took out the Black Demon Cauldron from his storage ring and placed it in the center of the mountain cave, then took out medicinal ingredients from another storage ring.

Fortunately, before leaving the Imperial Capital, Xiao Yan had gathered a large amount of medicinal ingredients from Mitel to replenish his supplies, making up for the deficit caused by giving all the pills to Nalan Yanran, so he no longer needed to worry about finding medicinal ingredients.

This time, Xiao Yan was refining a fourth-rank healing pill, and only such a grade of pill could quickly restore Yun Yun's injuries.

On the other side, Yun Yun also set up a fire, borrowed Xiao Yan's flame, and quickly got it going; cleaning internal organs was naturally trivial, as someone who had cultivated to Dou Huang rank would not be frightened by such things even if they had never done them before, unlike a village girl who had never killed a fish.

However, even after several hours, Xiao Yan had finished refining the pill while Yun Yun's fish was still not fully cooked.

Xiao Yan felt somewhat strange, and after giving the pill to Yun Yun to take, he also began observing her from the side.

After a while, Xiao Yan also figured it out: on one hand, the fish in Yun Yun's hands were indeed not easy to grill; on the other hand—our Yun Sect Master's cooking skills indeed needed improvement.

"How about I do it instead? When I was training in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, I also grilled quite a few fish, so I have some experience." Xiao Yan probed.

"No, I can do it myself!" Yun Yun immediately refused without thinking, clearly somewhat flustered.

Hearing this expected answer, Xiao Yan shrugged and didn't pay much attention, as Yun Yun, who had just taken the pill, would certainly not have any problems in the short term.

After another hour, following multiple failures, Yun Yun's fish was finally cooked.

"Xiao Yan! Look, it's done!" Yun Yun exclaimed happily like a little girl who hadn't grown up yet, excitedly speaking to Xiao Yan. Immediately afterward, she sensed her attitude was inappropriate under Xiao Yan's strange gaze, calmed down, and quickly switched to a dignified and aloof expression, saying composedly: "The fish is cooked. Come over."

Xiao Yan chuckled lightly, smiling at the corners of his eyes as he walked to Yun Yun's side and sat down beside her by the fire.

The grilled fish totaled four; according to Yun Yun's intention, it would naturally be two each, but Xiao Yan would certainly not fight over food with a patient. After a series of reasoned arguments, Yun Yun finally agreed to a three-one split.

Crack!

"Hmm? The taste isn't bad, huh?!" Xiao Yan obviously said with some surprise, and he was speaking sincerely!

The crispy outside and tender inside fish meat wrapped in fresh, juicy oils, but as the crispy fish skin simultaneously burst in Xiao Yan's mouth, the ultimate deliciousness almost made him swallow his tongue.

I never expected that Yun Yun, who couldn't even grill fish not long ago, could now reach this level!

In fact, not only Xiao Yan, but Yun Yun herself was also surprised by her sudden culinary skills.

After taking several big bites and swallowing the grilled fish in her hand, Xiao Yan sucked the remaining oil from his fingers, saying with an expression of lingering satisfaction: "Ah! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have yielded to you—I should have just eaten two more!"

"Hmph." Yun Yun chuckled lightly, speaking very gently: "Alright, there are still plenty of these fish in that stream; I'll grill you a few more tomorrow."

"Really? Then I'll look forward to the Yun Sect Master's cooking skills!" Xiao Yan said somewhat playfully.

"By the way, your wounds should have healed by now, right? Don't you need to wash up and change clothes?" Xiao Yan estimated the time for the medicine to take effect, gazing at the large bloodstain on Yun Yun's chest that ran horizontally from shoulder to waist.

"This—my Dou Qi is still sealed, so I can't open my storage ring." In response to Xiao Yan's suggestion, Yun Yun naturally had also considered this. No one would like feeling sweaty and bloody, but the current situation simply doesn't allow it for now.

"Then let me help you take it out?" Xiao Yan proactively suggested; with his current strength, he could easily force open Yun Yun's storage ring to retrieve the items, afterward only needing Yun Yun to re-refine the ring.

"This—" Yun Yun didn't know what she was thinking, her cheeks flushed, she stammered: "Better not, I can endure it a bit longer."

"Then you're not changing this outfit? Although it's strange for me to say this, but even with the bloodstain blocking, will you still not expose yourself?" Xiao Yan's gaze either intentionally or instructively glanced downward, making Yun Yun notice the clothing situation below her shoulders again.

Upon realizing it was exactly as Xiao Yan said, Yun Yun immediately screamed, quickly crossing her arms over her chest to occasionally block the exposed scenery.

"What, what time—" Yun Yun blushed, lowered her head, somewhat afraid to look at Xiao Yan's face, her voice trembling as she asked.

"Well, don't worry about this—you also know I've been refining pills all along; when you were grilling fish, I was sitting diagonally behind you, only realizing it after finishing the fish." Xiao Yan said calmly. People who don't know might still think Xiao Yan truly has no interest in feminine charm!

"Say, say that's also true!" Yun Yun recalled a moment, realizing Xiao Yan indeed couldn't have looked for a long time; saying it this way—him discovering it afterward and immediately telling her—was blameless for a gentleman's conduct, and her suspicion of him was truly unwarranted.

But really letting him help her get clothes? Yun Yun felt conflicted inside. Yet after thinking a while, she still felt holding onto it like this wasn't a solution, and adding that Xiao Yan had always appeared as a gentleman, he shouldn't pay too much attention to things he shouldn't see.

Finally, Yun Yun still decided to let Xiao Yan help with this?

Yun Yun lightly pursed her lips, right hand maintaining the arm-crossing motion unmoving, left hand carefully moving to take the storage ring from her right hand, then flicked her wrist, throwing the storage ring to Xiao Yan.

"Please, please help me!"

"Don't worry." Xiao Yan nodded, and as his soul force had already reached the peak of the Fan Realm, it surged rapidly, quickly removing the soul imprint Yun Yun had left on her storage ring.

At the moment Xiao Yan removed his own soul imprint, Yun Yun naturally also sensed it, looking at Xiao Yan in surprise, for through the speed of Xiao Yan removing her soul imprint, Yun Yun quickly judged that Xiao Yan's soul force was actually above her Dou Huang level! How did he do that!

Xiao Yan naturally didn't know Yun Yun's question at this moment; his consciousness had already entered Yun Yun's storage ring, quickly finding where clothes were stored.

It was only then that Xiao Yan understood why Yun Yun had previously hesitated and refused his help in getting clothes.

The reason was also simple: since the storage ring contained changeable clothes, underwear naturally was also present.

Xiao Yan glanced once, then again, then a third time.

Finally, facing Yun Yun, he said: "Um, should I help you get your underwear?"

"No need!" Yun Yun blushed, saying firmly.

"Well, okay then." Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, then took out a full set of clothes from the storage ring; however, out of consideration, he also prepared a set of underwear, pure white.

After all, wearing clean clothes with dirty underwear underneath is obviously not comfortable.

Yun Yun took the clothes Xiao Yan handed over with one hand, quickly noticing something inside that shouldn't have been there.

Gently biting her silver teeth, with a complex expression, she glanced at Xiao Yan—there was shyness, there was resentment. But in the end, she still didn't say much more.

Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, took out a bucket of clean water from his own storage ring, and, being quite tactful, walked outside.

Although this seemed somewhat suspicious of people, after Xiao Yan left, Yun Yun still carefully observed the outside, confirmed no one was there, then took the water bucket Xiao Yan gave her and walked into the deepest part of the mountain cave—
