Chapter 810: Surprise attack! Both felt they didn't lose out!
Soon, another two months passed.
The search for the Extinction Phoenix had made no progress.
When night fell, Elder Yun tucked her long hair and said to Su Yang: "Su Yang, let's find a place to rest!"
"Alright!"
God-level beast tamers weren't made of iron; they needed rest too.
They hadn't rested in five days.
Su Yang blasted through the rock, digging out a spacious cavern hall, and then carved out two rooms.
Elder Yun casually arranged ice blocks within the cave to lower the temperature.
She took blankets from her spatial ring to spread on the floor, placed cushions on the stone chairs, and even brought out many rare fruits and pastries to set on the stone table.
It was clear that Elder Yun had come well-prepared for this trip.
"Eat!"
She sat in a chair and propped her two long legs up on the stone table.
She had no defenses up against Su Yang at all.
Su Yang had also grown accustomed to her actions; they had been together for nearly three months.
In this desolate world, everyone had grown used to each other, becoming as familiar as could be.
Nibbling on a jade-green fruit, Elder Yun sighed: "Three months already, and still nothing!"
Su Yang, of course, knew why they had found nothing.
However, he still encouraged her: "Let's keep looking!"
Elder Yun had indeed found nothing, but he, Su Yang, was different.
Over these three months, he had killed countless fierce beasts, and the Explosive Flame Demon's experience points had been soaring.
Su Yang felt that if he persisted for another three months, the Explosive Flame Demon would surely become a divine beast.
After all, the Explosive Flame Demon didn't have a double experience card, and its hunting efficiency couldn't compare to the Hell Blood Vine Flower.
As long as he could see the experience bar slowly rising, Su Yang could grind!
Grind until the end of time!
Grind until he had a full set of divine beasts and could sweep across the Great World of Beast Tamers!
This kind of passion was something people who didn't play games couldn't understand.
Hearing Su Yang's encouragement, Elder Yun slumped in her stone chair and smiled.
She called out softly: "Su Yang!"
"Mm?"
"These three months, it's a good thing you've been here to keep me company!"
Company?
Why did she call it company?
Wasn't this work?
With that one word "company," Su Yang felt his entire persona had been downgraded.
"Can you drink?"
"I can!"
Su Yang certainly couldn't say he couldn't drink.
For a God-level beast tamer to be unable to drink would be a joke.
"Drink with me!"
"Mm!"
Elder Yun took out a flask of wine and two white jade cups, personally pouring wine for Su Yang.
The wine Elder Yun brought out was naturally extraordinary.
The wine in the cups swirled with white mist, and the fragrance of the wine drifted through the cave.
"Try it!"
Taking a light sip, the wine had a faint, refreshing taste that was extremely pleasant.
"How is it?"
Elder Yun looked at Su Yang.
"It's quite good!"
Elder Yun couldn't help but laugh: "You probably don't drink much, do you!"
"Whether I'm drinking wine or tea, I can't really taste much of anything!" Su Yang admitted with a smile. "I can only get a general sense that this wine is good."
"This is the Hundred-Fruit Wine of the Eight Treasures Pavilion!"
"So this is the Hundred-Fruit Wine!"
Su Yang had heard of the reputation of the Hundred-Fruit Wine.
It was said to promote the growth of Emperor-level pets and was worth a fortune!
However, he had only heard the name and never tasted it.
After all, he didn't have much interest in drinking.
"If you like it, drink more. Sister Yun isn't short on this!"
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
While eating pastries and drinking wine, Su Yang listened to Elder Yun talk about things in the Wuyun Kingdom, occasionally interjecting with stories from his own childhood.
The wine flask was replaced; after finishing a flask of Hundred-Fruit Wine, Su Yang felt slightly tipsy.
Putting down his wine cup, he looked at the feet propped up on his lap, and he felt a bit more sober...
"I just like propping my legs up; I always feel like I have nowhere to put them."
Yun Yun Shuying laughed coquettishly.
"..."
In the narrow cave, the night-luminescent pearl flickered with a soft glow.
Su Yang suddenly felt his whole body heating up.
Yun Yun Shuying was very beautiful, a great beauty.
Su Yang had long since sensed that she had some interest in him.
He downed a cup of wine fiercely and said in a low voice: "Elder Yun, I have a wife!"
Yun Yun Shuying blinked at Su Yang: "Are you afraid I'll cling to you?"
Over the past few days, Yun Yun Shuying had found Su Yang more and more pleasing to the eye.
Young, handsome, powerful, and with a decent personality—she hadn't seen such a talented beast tamer in many years.
She laughed and stood up, sitting in Su Yang's lap.
She reached back to lift the wine flask, taking large gulps of the liquid inside.
Looking at her smiling eyes, curved like crescent moons, and seeing her puffed-out cheeks press against him... Su Yang admitted that he was drunk!
Ever since Xia Na took the initiative, and since the phoenix incident, Su Yang felt his moral integrity starting to slip.
From the second day on, Yun Yun Shuying no longer felt that searching for the Extinction Phoenix in the underground world of the phoenix territory was a tedious task.
At least she had Su Yang to keep her company.
And Su Yang?
He was still hunting fierce beasts as usual, raising the Explosive Flame Demon's level.
With Yun Yun Shuying by his side, he also felt his mood was much more pleasant.
The two had reached a tacit agreement regarding their situation.
Getting along was extremely harmonious.
"Su Yang, I finally understand why you were able to become a God-level beast tamer at such a young age!" Yun Yun Shuying sighed. "We've been underground for three months, and I haven't seen you show a hint of impatience."
"I'm used to this style of combat!" Su Yang smiled. "I come from a commoner background. Our Water Blue Star has always been threatened by fierce beasts. From the moment I became a beast tamer, I've almost never stopped fighting, fighting until now."
Yun Yun Shuying smiled, feeling more and more that Su Yang was a very charming person.
She felt that she was the one getting a bargain.
That was how she felt, and Su Yang also felt that he wasn't losing out.
"It really was hard on you. Compared to you, I suppose I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth!"
"That's still very impressive!" Su Yang said. "I've seen many people born with silver spoons whose achievements are far behind yours, Sister Yun."
"Then do you want to join the Eight Treasures Pavilion?"
"Is Sister Yun going to recommend me?"
"If you want to... I think it would be a loss for the Eight Treasures Pavilion to miss out on you!"
Su Yang liked hearing that.
"Let me consider it!"
Whether or not to join the Eight Treasures Pavilion, Su Yang still needed to think about it.
He didn't have deep feelings for Yun Yun Shuying, but he did have a fondness for her.
If he didn't have any fondness, Su Yang wouldn't have touched her.
Yun Yun Shuying pretended to be angry: "Oh! Are you putting on airs now?"
Just then, both of their expressions changed.
Yun Yun Shuying flashed instantly, pulling Su Yang into the black volcanic rock.
Immediately after, a terrifying sound of fire explosions rang out behind them.
"Damn it, we've actually been ambushed!" Yun Yun Shuying warned. "Be careful, it's the people from the Dragon Merchant Alliance. Let's charge out!"
"Mm!"
The two quickly rushed out from underground, flying straight into the sky.
