Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Shen Yao didn't care about this bit of malicious targeting; if she could really win over this Young Master Liu, the malice she'd have to endure in the future would be far greater. Now was just the beginning—it was merely food before a meal.

Shen Yao returned to the tent to rest, and the next morning she dressed herself especially neat and tidy. Her clothes were no longer ornate and complicated, but simple and brisk, looking very convenient for traveling at a glance.

Liu Jingyan had slept well. After finishing his morning meal, he took up the luggage and bundles the servants had prepared for him, then led Shen Yao away with light steps.

This world had no magical spatial jewelry; once outside, everything relied on oneself.

Liu Jingyan was heading to the center of the Secret Realm, places ordinary carriages and horses simply couldn't reach.

Helplessly, no matter how refined and delicate a noble young master was, he had to descend into the mundane world and rely on his own hands to be self-sufficient.

Fortunately, the servants had prepared very complete items, and although Liu Jingyan was a cultivator, his qi and blood weren't as strong and overbearing as a martial artist's, he wasn't an ordinary person who would fall at the slightest breeze. Handling some unexpected incidents was easy for him.

The only trouble was Shen Yao—fragile, harmless, and beautiful.

Liu Jingyan found her troublesome, while also hating himself for being bewitched. How could he have been so stubborn as to insist on bringing her along? Look at that unsteady posture as she walked; their progress today wasn't obvious at all.

"Miss Shen, rest a while. It's late; we'll spend the night here."

After speaking, Liu Jingyan casually found a clean spot to start a fire for warmth, spread out the thin blanket from the bundle, and gestured for Shen Yao to sit down and relax quickly.

Shen Yao didn't refuse, merely saying thanks with slight embarrassment.

She could have continued walking, but without using spatial cheating, this body's limit was just this high. She truly wasn't intentionally dragging them down.

The warm bonfire emitted warm orange flames. Liu Jingyan caught two lowly wild beasts, skinned them, and placed them by the fire to slowly roast.

At times like this, Liu Jingyan didn't look much like a young master from a great clan; rather, he resembled a young hero wandering the martial world. His clean and agile movements were eye-catching.

Wiping his palm with a handkerchief, Liu Jingyan smiled and said, "I occasionally go out traveling. Wei State is so vast; only by going out can one glimpse a fraction of it."

Nowadays it wasn't like the earlier days of war and turmoil. People like Liu Jingyan weren't deadheads who shut their doors to make carriages. They enjoyed the best resources and their clan's protection from childhood, and after growing up, they would also strive to repay benefits of equal value.

In this era, clans and individuals complemented each other. The two were not opposed, but helped each other for mutual benefit.

With only the two of them around, Liu Jingyan's words unconsciously increased.

When the food by the fire was done roasting, he took one and handed it to Shen Yao.

"Young Master Liu, may I ask about the situation outside?" Shen Yao ate the delicious meat in small bites, praising Liu Jingyan's craftsmanship.

The graceful and elegant noble young master was indeed multi-talented; she had been too narrow-minded.

"Outside," Liu Jingyan smiled brightly, "outside there is good and bad. It can't be finished speaking, nor explained clearly. Miss Shen, did you recall something?"

The dim firelight reflected on Liu Jingyan's face, making him look even more outstanding and handsome.

Being stared at by such a jade-like young master, it was hard for her heart not to flutter like a startled deer.

Shen Yao pursed her lips and smiled. "No. Ever since I had memories, it seems I've been going in circles in the forest."

"Not hiding it from you, Young Master. Young Master is the first of my kind I've seen."

My kind? Both of the Human Race?

Liu Jingyan found Shen Yao's words amusing in his heart, but his face remained gentle. By the firelight he spoke of things in Luojing City until a rustling sound arose. Both stopped talking and gazed cautiously at the pitch-black forest.

Liu Jingyan stood up first, shielding Shen Yao behind him. The folding fan in his hand was already open, and the landscape painting on the fan surface showed twisting fluctuations, as if coated with a beautiful halo of light.

Shen Yao could see Liu Jingyan mobilizing the mana within his body, like a stream of qi constantly overflowing outward, brushing across her cheeks and tightly wrapping her.

"Young Master Liu"

"Don't be afraid. It should be a fierce beast in the Secret Realm." Mangshan Secret Realm had just opened; no one knew what was inside. They had encountered little trouble along the way, and casualties in their group weren't severe, but this situation didn't fit the characteristics of a newly opened Secret Realm.

Secret Realms are all dangerous. Those who enter want to get out with nine deaths and one life.

Liu Jingyan had been secretly vigilant until now, finally grasping his thoughts.

Comforting Shen Yao with a few words, Liu Jingyan's gaze turned stern. He waved the folding fan in his hand and flung it forward violently, while at the same time embracing Shen Yao's waist and retreating continuously, directly flying up off the ground.

In an instant, a black limb as thick as a water bucket appeared where they had been staying, and with a boom it slapped the bonfire out.

The light source was gone; the surroundings were pitch black. Shen Yao clung tightly to Liu Jingyan's sleeve and could only hear the sound of tearing through the air constantly coming from beside her ears.

Just like a piece of cloth blown everywhere by the wind, Shen Yao felt dizzy and her head swelled. She didn't know how long Liu Jingyan had carried her flying. When they finally stopped, they had reached a not-too-high hillside.

Beside the hillside leaned a huge boulder, just enough to completely hide them.

The moment her feet touched the ground, Shen Yao knelt directly, her face deathly pale without a trace of blood.

Liu Jingyan was worse off than Shen Yao. At least Shen Yao only suffered a bit without injury, but Liu Jingyan had been slapped hard by a long snake, directly smashing his internal organs and leaving his breath chaotic.

"Young Master Liu"

Shen Yao supported the fallen Liu Jingyan, thinking that in this wild ridge, both their bundles had been left in the forest. If anything happened to Liu Jingyan, Shen Yao truly had no way.

There was medicine in the space, but Shen Yao wasn't sure if Liu Jingyan could use it. After all, their cultivation systems didn't match, and medicine was not something to be eaten recklessly.

"Cough, it's fine. Help me leave first. We need to find a secluded place." His injuries were somewhat serious; it wasn't suitable to stay here long.

Liu Jingyan covered the corner of his mouth. Even with a pale complexion, it didn't damage his looks; instead, it added a touch of brokenness, making people feel pity.

Shen Yao helped Liu Jingyan up with difficulty. Cheating with the map in her hand, she soon found an abandoned cave entrance in the mountains.

She lit a bonfire, cleaned the stone slab, helped Liu Jingyan lie down, then tugged at her dirt-stained sleeve, took off her outermost garment, spread it out, and sat down.

Just now, Liu Jingyan took out a porcelain bottle containing pills from his bosom, swallowed them, and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Yao gazed calmly at the unconscious Liu Jingyan not far away, hoping this person's life would be tougher. Otherwise, her journey these past few days would be in vain.

Sigh

What bad luck. After going around in circles, the two of them were currently not far from where she transformed into human form. She didn't know how Liu Jingyan found the way.

The system had been shut down for who knows how long before waking up. Shen Yao could currently only rely on herself.

Recalling the events of these past days, Shen Yao was muddled. She simply lay down on her outer garment and fell asleep.

When she reacted again, it was feeling someone touching her face.

Touching her face?!

Shen Yao was startled awake, and following that she saw Liu Jingyan's enlarged handsome face, as well as the fact that the place she was lying turned out to be that stone slab originally used to settle Liu Jingyan.

Ah?

What's going on?

Shen Yao's head was muddled, her gaze bewildered, but Liu Jingyan pressing on her did not stop; his large, knuckled hands kept roaming, already moving from her slender neck down to her chest, and still going lower!

Shen Yao looked at Liu Jingyan's unnaturally flushed cheeks and those eyes shrouded in mist; how could she not realize something was wrong with him.

This is... being controlled?

Gaze lowering, Shen Yao saw that the clothes originally on her body had somehow been torn open at a corner, revealing a pretty collarbone and taut muscles.

Liu Jingyan looked thin and weak, but actually his muscles were firm; the blue veins exposed at his shoulders and neck were full of explosive power.

Shen Yao:...

She felt she was a bit off; should she be thinking about this at a time like this? Shouldn't she save herself first? Liu Jingyan clearly had a problem.

There were many things in her space; given Liu Jingyan's current unconscious state, she could easily smash him unconscious.

But, why do that?

The clothes on her body were peeled away bit by bit, revealing a beautiful, fair body.

Scattered hair intertwined with each other, making the two of them fit together closely.

Shen Yao looked at Liu Jingyan's increasingly handsome face, raised her hand, and directly touched his shoulder.

Seeing is not like touching; only by really putting hands on can one truly feel the magic power contained in the muscles below.

Tsk.

Doing this job, who knows, the mission she carries might be directly completed.

Backhand hooking Liu Jingyan's neck slightly downward, Shen Yao lifted her head and kissed the corner of his lips.

Ambiguity rose between the two; Shen Yao panted slightly, and Liu Jingyan at this time also stripped off all their clothes.

With no clothes to conceal, the seemingly slender and tall figure was fully revealed, yet it was broad shoulders and narrow waist; just one glance made one's face heat and heart race.

Especially when he lowered his body pressing down, the faint blue vein patterns on the arms propped on both sides of the body were clear and smooth, and one could even feel the immense power contained within.

Naked bodies pressed tightly together; rounded, trembling softness pressed against Liu Jingyan's chest, and both shuddered.

Liu Jingyan's eyes were hazy, sinking deeper into this delicate soft touch; Shen Yao tightly hugged his neck, pursed her lips, knitted her brows, to avoid letting out a sound.

"..."

Liu Jingyan's movements were straightforward and bold, perhaps he didn't expect the situation to spiral so out of control.

He fixed his body, relying on the body's own instinct, forcefully pulling the person into his embrace.

A numbing, sour-refreshing sensation climbed up along the spine, and also made Liu Jingyan instantly clear-headed.

However, after clearing up he did not take the opportunity to leave, but continued drifting with the flow, unwilling to let go.

"Mmph... mmph..."

Fragmented sounds spilled from the cave, drifting in this pitch-black late night.

No one could pry into the situation inside the cave; the beautiful scenery displayed rose and fell, finally returning to the initial calm.

Shen Yao's thoughts were a bit chaotic; fortunately she wasn't stupid, knew to take out a few pills from her space and swallow them; in the haze she seemed to see the person pressing on her move gently.

Moans couldn't help but drift out, and also reached Liu Jingyan's ears.

Already awake, understanding what he had done, Liu Jingyan's throat was dry and hoarse; the desire suppressed in his chest surged up again.

Itchy; Shen Yao shook her head; her straight legs began to be restless, inadvertently seeming to bump into something, and instantly felt her body go limp and sore.

Shen Yao lightly bit her lower lip; a pair of misty eyes were especially heart-wrenching; she decisively met him.

Shen Yao doing this felt comfortable, but Liu Jingyan was enticed by the lovely person beneath him into a body taut with tension; his recovered reason nearly shattered.

A muffled groan; Liu Jingyan opened his mouth, voice hoarse beyond words, "Behave, don't move!"

The two's movements were stiff at this time; at first it was okay, but later it became increasingly empty and unbearable.

Shen Yao felt her body itch to the point of panic; seeing the other party not moving, she got a bit anxious, and quietly sobbed while satisfying herself to relieve that itch on her body.

Such an act finally shattered Liu Jingyan's endurance and restraint into dust.

Gritting teeth and bracing jaw, suddenly erupting, just like a sturdy wild horse, continuously galloping and charging across the grassland.

Dark eyes staring fixedly at the beauty beneath him, Liu Jingyan lowered his head and kissed away the tear drops at the corner of her eyes.

He originally planned to end it; the two's strength was vastly different; excessive indulgence had no benefit for Shen Yao's body.

But with such an entangling nature and skill, Liu Jingyan could only helplessly laugh lightly, stretch out his hand and once again pull her tight around the waist, not wanting to let go in the slightest.

Shen Yao experienced the small boat in a violent storm drifting unable to stop; she couldn't grasp anything, could only choose to cling to the other party, letting him do as he pleased.

Crying sounds intermittent; sometimes syllables escaped from Shen Yao's lips.

Liu Jingyan was originally worried she would suffer pain and discomfort, so his movements were gentle and restrained; who knew the other party was truly soul-stealing.

Lifting those beautiful peach blossom eyes, because they contained a smile they were all shimmering, enticing water-light.

"..."

Shen Yao slept this sleep extremely deeply; when she opened her eyes again, she knew not what year or evening it was.

The memories in her head were mostly fragments of the two's intimacy and shameful scenes; Shen Yao covered her head with one hand, sighs unable to stop.

How did she get so bewitched by lust, yet brought such suffering on herself.

"Yao Yao, does your body have any discomfort? It was me acting too recklessly."

Seeing Shen Yao awake, Liu Jingyan hurriedly helped her up and pulled her into his embrace.

Shen Yao raised her head, just meeting Liu Jingyan's clear, handsome, and gentle profile; between the two there was no awkwardness, no explanation, only deep tender affection.

"Nothing to do, just a bit hungry," the two people had been fooling around for quite a while, and Shen Yao's body had no cultivation realm, unlike Liu Jingyan who recovered so fast.

Liu Jingyan touched Shen Yao's cheek, saying gently, "I have already retrieved the bundles from the woods; once we rest properly, we will leave."

Food naturally existed, only it was too crude; Liu Jingyan planned to take Shen Yao back to the camp to recuperate, rather than continue toward the Secret Realm Center, letting Shen Yao accompany him to eat bitterness suffer.

Clean clothes were stacked at her side; Shen Yao stretched her hand and could pick up and put them on.

Ignoring her body's strangeness, Shen Yao let her hair hang loose, walked to Liu Jingyan's side, and directly sat in the other's embrace.

"Leave? Not go to the Secret Realm Center?" Shen Yao leaned against Liu Jingyan's chest, her eyes moist, like a piece of clear flawless beautiful jade.

"Not go," there was no longer any need; he originally entered the Secret Realm to consolidate his cultivation realm, now by a twist of fate his cultivation realm was stable, so there was no need to take risks.

Besides, regarding his matter with Yao Yao, he must bear responsibility; he is not a person who would evade.

He fed the harvested wild fruit to Shen Yao, and also tore the roasted meat to shreds and delivered it to Shen Yao's lips, until Shen Yao could eat no more before stopping.
