Chapter 224: Meeting Again

"What happened just now?" Yun Yun asked, frowning as she looked at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan felt around his waist, and after a long time, he touched something soft and boneless. Knowing what it was, Xiao Yan could only smile bitterly and helplessly: "My wounds flared up just now, which is why that happened."

"Oh! So that's it! Forget it, it doesn't matter whether they were killed or not. How are you now?" Yun Yun didn't care about the life or death of those Snake-People leaders; she was concerned about Xiao Yan's injuries.

"The consumption was a bit high, but it's nothing!" Xiao Yan smiled and said.

"What do you mean 'nothing'? Let me take you to heal your wounds!" Yun Yun said with a look of reproach.

"But I can't fly right now!" Xiao Yan said helplessly.

"Where is your mount?" Yun Yun seemed to have thought of something; her small face turned slightly red as she looked at Xiao Yan and asked.

"My wife is the best!" Xiao Yan hugged Yun Yun for a while, then let go and said, "The Exotic Fire is very important to me! I also have to leave for a while, but I will go to the Imperial Capital to find you very soon!"

At dusk, the two hugged each other tightly, enjoying the rare time alone.

"Ah!" Xiao Yan was stunned upon hearing Yun Yun's words, only then realizing that his face had been disguised.

"Although I don't know what happened at that time, I definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's final desperate counterattack without your help. And you..." Xiao Yan gazed at Yun Yun, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Yun Yun lowered her head instantly upon hearing Xiao Yan's words and stopped speaking.

"By the way, during the few months I was unconscious, you didn't do anything to me, did you? I was unconscious the whole time, and when I woke up, I found you had left me a jade pendant and the Companion Amethyst Source, as well as a piece of Sea Heart Soft Armor! Yet you left yourself. Can you tell me what happened afterward?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at Yun Yun.

"Then... then let me carry you on my back!" Yun Yun said, lowering her head.

Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, took a pill from his storage ring, and stuffed it into his mouth. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, his facial muscles began to change, finally returning to Xiao Yan's original face.

A night passed in silence. The next morning, Yun Yun dragged her exhausted body up, looking at Xiao Yan, who was still fast asleep beside her, her eyes filled with reproach.

"You should know that I am an Alchemist and also a physician." Xiao Yan stared straight at Yun Yun, his black-and-white eyes seemingly able to pierce through everything.

"This is so embarrassing!" Xiao Yan said he was embarrassed, but his body had already climbed onto Yun Yun's back.

"You're being improper again!" Yun Yun rolled her eyes, her face instantly blushing with shyness.

"What? You're leaving?" Xiao Yan stood up directly and looked at Yun Yun.

"So what? I know the status of an Alchemist is very noble." Yun Yun's body trembled, then she returned to calm and said nonchalantly.

Although some Snake-People lived in the oasis, with Yun Yun there, these Snake-People naturally didn't dare to be presumptuous and scattered like birds and beasts.

Xiao Yan took advantage of Yun Yun not paying attention, pushed her into the lake, and then dove into the lake himself.

"It's still early!" Xiao Yan pulled Yun Yun directly into his arms, wanting to continue sleeping.

"Why are you covering it? It's not like you haven't seen it before! I'm not shy, so what are you shy about? Besides, during the few months I was unconscious, do you dare say you haven't seen it?" Xiao Yan looked at Yun Yun and said with amusement.

"What time is it? The sun is already hitting our butts, and you're still sleeping!" Yun Yun rolled her eyes and said.

"You know who I am?" Yun Yun asked with some surprise!

"Actually, nothing much happened! After you fell unconscious, I placed you in a cave, then found the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's lair. While looking for the Purple Spirit Crystal, I discovered the Companion Amethyst Source. I felt you needed this kind of thing, so I left it for you. You have saved me more than once, so that Sea Heart Soft Armor counts as my reward to you." Yun Yun didn't dare look at Xiao Yan and lowered her head as she spoke.

"Don't talk, I just want to hold you! I don't want to talk about anything else right now." Just kidding, if he revealed his true identity now, how could he still have a beauty in his arms?

Yun Yun subconsciously took two steps back, but was still hugged by Xiao Yan. She struggled symbolically twice, but seeing Xiao Yan wouldn't let go, Yun Yun could only helplessly let Xiao Yan hug her.

The two walked together to the center of the oasis and discovered a small lake. The water here was crystal clear, and there were many fish swimming about.

"Can you tell me who you really are? And the Mo Clan incident before was also your doing, right?" Yun Yun asked softly.

Yun Yun rolled her eyes, shook her head helplessly, and whispered, "What a nemesis!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yan became interested and laughed at Yun Yun beside him: "You first, or me first, or shall we wash together?"

"I... I don't want to either! But a whole night has passed. Gu He and the others are probably almost back. Gu He's soul perception is not weak. If he senses the Exotic Fire here, he will definitely come chasing. Don't you want the Exotic Fire anymore?" Seeing Xiao Yan was somewhat angry, Yun Yun was suddenly at a loss and said anxiously.

"You really have many masks! Sometimes I don't even know which one is the real you." Seeing Xiao Yan's face return to the appearance she was familiar with, Yun Yun couldn't help but tease.

"You... what are you doing? Don't mess around!" Yun Yun hurriedly used her hands to protect her chest, looking at Xiao Yan with vigilance.

"Let go! I'm not used to you being like this!" Yun Yun was suddenly pulled into Xiao Yan's arms, her body trembling involuntarily, and she said with embarrassment.

"Is that all?" Xiao Yan pressed.

Yun Yun took Xiao Yan to find the Green Lotus Core Flame, then found a small oasis and prepared to rest for a while.

"Is this okay now?" Xiao Yan opened his arms and hugged Yun Yun again.

"Oh! I have it guarding the Exotic Fire!" Xiao Yan blinked and said.

"No! I must go back! Otherwise, if Gu He and the others discover I haven't returned and come looking, it won't be good. If he demands the Exotic Fire then, I will be in a very difficult position." Yun Yun broke free from Xiao Yan's embrace and said to him.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan stopped pressing. Everything was already very clear. He took two steps forward, pulled Yun Yun into his arms, and said softly, "I will not let you down."

Seeing Xiao Yan was so overbearing, although she had some guesses about Xiao Yan's identity, she didn't care at this moment.

"You... how can you be like this?" Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yan with anger.

"Of course, that's all!" Yun Yun looked into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

"You're awake!" Xiao Yan also woke up at this time, looked at Yun Yun, and said with a grin.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "There aren't many Dou Huangs in the Gama Empire, only three. If I couldn't even guess that, wouldn't I be a fool?"

"Then you know my identity, and you still..." Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yan with a complex expression, afraid that Xiao Yan would distance himself from her because of her identity.
