The night outside was beautiful, the mist swirling and pervading the mountains. The rain had stopped, and water dripped from the cliff onto the leaves, sliding down. Small nocturnal animals emerged to forage…
Inside the cave, the fire had burned out, leaving only embers. Wan Yunting held Fang Yanxi, leaning his back against the desk. They had fallen asleep together, embracing each other…
A few owl hoots echoed from outside. Fang Yanxi, lying on Wan Yunting’s chest, frowned, her long lashes fluttering. She slowly opened her eyes, her head aching slightly, but much better than before.
Coupled with Wan Yunting’s acupuncture to expel the internal cold qi, Fang Yanxi’s fever had subsided. However, her dry mouth and tongue made her very uncomfortable…
Under the dim light of three oil lamps, Fang Yanxi cautiously lifted her head, watching the man with his head tilted, breathing softly with a rhythmic, faint snore. He looked very comfortable, especially his sharply defined face, which appeared very handsome from her angle…
Fang Yanxi was somewhat mesmerized. Gazing at the man, her heart stirred. She carefully sat up and leaned closer to Wan Yunting, looking at his dry lips. Her heart pounded with nervousness and anticipation. Her throat twitched, and her dry, red lips approached the man’s. Fang Yanxi trembled slightly…
Ten centimeters, five centimeters…
Suddenly, Wan Yunting’s eyes snapped open. Seeing Fang Yanxi leaning in, the woman froze, her eyes staring blankly into Wan Yunting’s. Her breath hitched…
Their lips stopped, maintaining a distance of three centimeters…
The next moment, Fang Yanxi, regaining her senses, blushed instantly. Embarrassed, she quickly lowered her head, wishing she could find a mouse hole to disappear into, relieved he hadn’t noticed.
However, in the next second, Wan Yunting pulled her closer and kissed her…
Fang Yanxi’s eyes widened in a daze. Feeling his dry lips on hers, his clumsy kiss, her body stiffened, her mind going blank…
Gradually returning to her senses, her heart thrilled. She closed her eyes and responded to the man…
This was their second kiss. The first had been during their college days, when they had stolen a kiss by the lake in the school park late at night.
Therefore, both of them were still clumsy kissers. In less than two minutes, Fang Yanxi felt breathless. Wan Yunting finally released her. The shy woman immediately lowered her head, not expecting Wan Yunting to initiate the kiss…
“Um…”
Wan Yunting also felt a bit embarrassed. Looking at the blushing woman, he asked, “Are you feeling any better?”
“Huh?”
Fang Yanxi blinked, looking up at him slightly, unsure what Wan Yunting meant.
“Oh, here, this is for you.”
Wan Yunting turned and held a large Strelitzia leaf from the desk, glistening with rainwater he had collected from the cliff while Fang Yanxi was asleep. “ Drink it all.”
Seeing the man’s carefulness, Fang Yanxi felt deeply touched. She took the leaf with both hands and drank the rainwater, but saved some. “You should drink some too.”
“I’m not thirsty, you drink,” Wan Yunting gently smiled, shaking his head. His eyes were filled with affection as he looked at her.
Fang Yanxi finished the water from the leaf, and her dry, bitter throat finally felt much better…
“Gulp…”
However, her stomach growled indignantly. Fang Yanxi felt awkward. Wan Yunting sighed, “Bear with it for now. It’s almost dawn. Perhaps Boss Wang has already sent someone to rescue us.”
Fang Yanxi nodded. Wan Yunting touched her forehead and, seeing her fever had completely subsided, felt relieved.
“Rest a while longer.”
Wan Yunting stood up. Fang Yanxi looked at him. “Where are you going?”
“I found three martial arts manuals…”
Wan Yunting walked over to the stone bed and brought the wooden box of the senior to the desk. He then moved the oil lamp closer. Fang Yanxi also watched curiously as he took out the “Wuji Tiangang Neigong Fammen,” which was already open…
“What is this?”
Fang Yanxi took out the second book from the wooden box, looking at the title, “Yin Yang Hu Bu Shu.” “Is this also a martial arts manual?”
“This… is…”
Seeing the woman picking up an inappropriate book, Wan Yunting felt a bit embarrassed.
“What is this one for?”
Fang Yanxi, like a curious kitten, flipped open the “Yin Yang Hu Bu Shu.” The characters were mostly traditional. Wan Yunting scratched the back of his head, chuckling awkwardly, “How should I put it, it’s a cultivation manual…”
“Can you practice it?” Fang Yanxi asked curiously.
“This… requires two people to practice,” Wan Yunting said with a smile, pointing to the “Yin Yang Hu Bu Shu” in her hand.
“Two people?”
Fang Yanxi’s eyes lit up, and she became interested. “Can we practice it together then?”
“Ah.”
Wan Yunting was stunned. Fang Yanxi looked at him seductively. “Can’t we?”
“We… can…”
Wan Yunting smiled awkwardly.
As Fang Yanxi flipped through the pages, she reached a later page, revealing an illustration of a naked couple practicing dual cultivation, with notes on precautions…
Fang Yanxi’s pretty face flushed instantly. She quickly closed the book and tossed it back, casting a reproachful glance at Wan Yunting. She huffed, “You’re indecent. Don’t practice this…”
“Heh…”
Wan Yunting chuckled awkwardly and continued to open the “Wuji Tiangang Neigong Fammen” in his hand. This was the long-lost internal cultivation technique of the Wuliang Daoist temple, and he desperately needed such a manual to practice.
Because his master, the Ghost Hand Medical Saint, primarily practiced Chinese medicine, his attainments in Chinese martial arts were not very high. That’s why he had asked Wan Yunting to find his friend Chang Wude, to improve his Chinese martial arts.
But Wan Yunting hadn’t expected that this time, after accidentally falling down the cliff with Fang Yanxi, they would enter the cave dwelling of this Senior Lexin and find these three lost martial arts manuals. Perhaps it was Lexin who had taken the “Wuji Tiangang Neigong Fammen” from the Wuliang Daoist temple, leading to its current disappearance.
“Wuji transforms Yin and Yang, Tiangang changes myriad laws…”
Now, with his extraordinary memory, Wan Yunting was memorizing the incantations of the “Wuji Tiangang Neigong Fammen,” intending to commit these three manuals to memory and then practice them slowly later.
Fang Yanxi, by his side, saw the man diligently memorizing these indecent things. She didn’t disturb him but leaned against the desk, her eyes fixed on him, finding him even more handsome when he was focused…
About half an hour later, Wan Yunting finished memorizing the incantations and essentials of the “Wuji Tiangang Neigong.” He then picked up the “Five Elements Palm” manual to memorize. Seeing Fang Yanxi, who had fallen asleep again, leaning against the desk, he smiled and continued to study the “Five Elements Palm”…
Finally, it was the “Yin Yang Hu Bu Shu.” Although Fang Yanxi had called it indecent, Wan Yunting wouldn’t miss it. For this kind of complementary technique, if he could find a woman who also practiced Chinese martial arts, and they could cultivate together, both of them could quickly improve their strength…
Unknowingly, it was dawn. Chirping sparrows could be heard at the cave entrance…
“Uh, is it dawn?”
Fang Yanxi, lying on the desk, woke up as her stomach growled incessantly from hunger.
Seeing the man sitting beside her, looking at the “Yin Yang Hu Bu Shu,” Wan Yunting immediately put down the indecent book when he saw her wake up. He turned his head and looked towards the cave entrance, where a few rays of sunlight were shining in. “Yes, it’s dawn…”
