Ah, well…
A flicker of embarrassment crossed Chen Yuyang’s face.
It was somewhat awkward to explain.
In his ring, he had not just women’s clothes; some were even women’s clothing for all ages, and more than one set.
Chen Yuyang certainly couldn’t say that he kept these clothes for emergencies.
Having been reborn and tempered for a hundred lifetimes, he had encountered too many complicated situations.
Sometimes, disguise was a necessary choice.
To facilitate disguise, he had specially learned relevant makeup, disguise, and transformation techniques.
These clothes were also prepared for this purpose.
But explaining this to Xuan Ke now would only make him seem like a pervert…
“Ahem, this… this is my junior sister’s clothes.”
Chen Yuyang coughed twice, quickly finding a reasonably plausible excuse in his mind.
“She has a lot of luggage, and her ring space is small, so she temporarily left them with me.”
Xuan Ke looked at the young man, nodded half-believingly, and did not press further.
She picked up the clothes and walked toward Yan Luo, preparing to dress her.
Chen Yuyang immediately turned around, his back to the scene, politely looking away.
Xuan Ke started to dress her, but she was also somewhat clumsy.
While adjusting the clothes, she couldn’t help muttering endlessly.
“I never thought I’d have to wait on an annoying brat like you now.”
“Heh, really small. At your age, you’re still like a child… This dress looks too big on you.”
Chen Yuyang stood there, sweating at the temples, and decided it was better to pretend he hadn’t heard anything.
After changing the clothes, Xuan Ke clapped her hands, brushing off nonexistent dust.
“Alright, how is she now?”
Xuan Ke looked at Chen Yuyang and asked with some concern.
“She’s fine. The injuries have healed, and there’s nothing else wrong with her body. We just need to wait for her to wake up on her own.”
As he spoke, Chen Yuyang walked to a corner inside the stone house, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
“I’ll recover a bit first.”
Just now, shaping Yan Luo’s Blazing Sun Body had indeed consumed a great deal of his mental energy and spiritual power.
Xuan Ke nodded.
Although she had many questions, seeing that Chen Yuyang had entered a state of meditation, she ultimately did not ask further.
Xuan Ke then found a clean spot in the corner of the stone house, sat down cross-legged, and started to circulate her cultivation technique to recover her own spiritual power.
Outside the window, the wind and snow still howled.
But Xuan Ke noticed that the stone house no longer seemed as bone-chillingly cold as before.
Was it because the Giant Ape’s fur was covering the outside of the stone house?
The girl muttered to herself, indeed surprised that the fur had such an unexpectedly good insulating effect.
Speaking of which, earlier Yuyang had asked her if this Fiend Beast was a local creature.
At the time, she had found it strange, but now thinking back, could it be that he was already evaluating whether the beast’s fur could be of use to him?
This guy… Although he looked young and was powerful, he was also so meticulous and experienced.
As Xuan Ke continued to circulate her technique, she couldn’t help but let her mind wander, and her peripheral vision kept unconsciously drifting toward the young man meditating with his eyes closed.
It was a rather delicate and clean face.
When focused, it looked even more handsome, radiating an intangible charm.
Who says women don’t care about appearances?
Seeing a handsome man, they also can’t help letting their thoughts wander.
“Mm… where is this?”
Just then, a weak voice sounded in the stone house, immediately diverting Xuan Ke’s attention.
Yan Luo struggled to sit up.
At this moment, Yan Luo looked quite spirited, her eyes bright and her complexion rosy.
Compared to before she was injured, she seemed even more energetic, and her appearance seemed even cuter by a few degrees.
“Hey, you’re awake.”
Xuan Ke stood up, walked over, and spoke with a bit of irritation.
“It’s you!”
Seeing Xuan Ke, Yan Luo was clearly taken aback.
Could it be that she had saved her?
‘No, before I lost consciousness, I clearly saw Yuyang’s back…’
“What happened to me?”
Xuan Ke crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow with a cold smile, and asked back sarcastically.
Yan Luo was momentarily at a loss for words.
At this moment, due to the position of the stone bed and the angle of Chen Yuyang’s location, she happened not to notice Chen Yuyang behind her and only saw Xuan Ke there.
Yan Luo pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes drooping.
After a long moment, she spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito’s, reluctantly: “Th… thank you…”
Xuan Ke cupped her hand to her ear, deliberately leaning closer, a smug smile on her face, and asked loudly: “What did you say? Your voice is too soft, I can’t hear you.”
Yan Luo bit her lower lip hard, her face flushed red.
Although she was extremely unwilling, she was ultimately not an ungrateful person.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Luo lifted her head forcefully and raised her voice a little: “I said… th… thank you…”
“Thank me for what?” Xuan Ke pressed on relentlessly.
“For… helping me.”
Yan Luo’s head drooped again, her cheeks burning.
At this moment, she felt she was drowning in shame.
For an instant, she even couldn’t help thinking: ‘If I had known I’d be saved by this person and have to see this face, I’d rather have been eliminated directly.’
Xuan Ke’s smile grew even brighter.
She suddenly felt it was amusing to see Yan Luo so frustrated and helpless.
After laughing enough, Xuan Ke extended her right hand and pointed her index finger behind Yan Luo.
Yan Luo frowned and suspiciously looked in the direction she was pointing.
When she saw the familiar figure sitting cross-legged in the corner, eyes closed in meditation, the girl was instantly stunned.
“Yuyang, how could he…” Yan Luo murmured involuntarily.
“Of course he’s here.”
Xuan Ke crossed her arms, chin slightly raised.
“Because he and I are on the same team. And the one who actually saved you is him.”
“Oh, you…!”
Yan Luo finally realized that she had just been tricked by Xuan Ke, and was both embarrassed and annoyed.
But immediately, the girl suddenly realized something.
She looked at Xuan Ke incredulously and asked in shock: “You say you and Yuyang are on the same team?”
“Of course.”
Xuan Ke was even more smug, not because she felt particularly proud, but because she knew this would hit Yan Luo harder.
“That’s impossible!”
Yan Luo immediately exclaimed, her eyes full of disbelief.
“You’re so weak, why would Yuyang team up with you?”
Yan Luo immediately felt a pang of jealousy.
“Hmph, maybe it’s because I’m more charming.”
Xuan Ke looked Yan Luo up and down, deliberately puffed out her chest, and said mockingly: “After all… I’m not like some people who have no chest and no butt.”
Yan Luo almost instantly bristled, her hands clenched.
She barely stopped herself from rushing up to punch that smug face.
These words precisely struck her sore spot.
Her own figure was indeed inferior to other girls her age, and even more so compared to Xuan Ke, who was well-developed with curves.
But, catching a glimpse of Chen Yuyang from the corner of her eye, Yan Luo forcibly suppressed her anger.
‘No, Yuyang is here. If I start a fight, he might think I’m too willful and form a bad impression of me.’
Yan Luo took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down.
“Speaking of which, my injuries… were also healed by him?”
Yan Luo then suddenly noticed something.
Her eyes widened as she looked down at her hands.
“Wait, my body is…”
Yan Luo raised her right hand, palm up.
The next moment, a cluster of deep blue flame leaped into being out of nowhere.
The flame was pure and condensed, even stronger than the sun fire she had previously condensed.
Seeing this flame, Xuan Ke’s brows also furrowed instantly.
“This is… Blazing Sun Fire… I, I did it!”
Realizing what had happened and feeling her own state, Yan Luo’s face burst into ecstatic joy, and her voice trembled uncontrollably with excitement.
“Succeeded at what?”
Xuan Ke was startled and asked with some concern and curiosity.
“Hmph, you ignorant woman!”
Yan Luo’s mood suddenly improved greatly, and now the smug expression shifted to her face.
The girl lifted her chin high and said boastfully: “This lady has now achieved the Blazing Sun Body!”
“What!” Xuan Ke was thunderstruck, her face full of shock.
Only then did she recall the things Chen Yuyang had done to Yan Luo earlier.
Could it be that because of everything Chen Yuyang had done, Yan Luo was able to break through from the Pure Yang Body to the legendary Blazing Sun Body?
Yan Luo’s original Pure Yang Body was already enviable enough, but now she had gone a step further to achieve the legendary Blazing Sun Body…
Looking at the cluster of deep blue flame in Yan Luo’s palm, a strong envy suddenly surged in Xuan Ke’s heart, and even a trace of… jealousy.
At the same time, Xuan Ke’s gaze toward Chen Yuyang involuntarily became somewhat fervent.
He actually possessed a method that could transform one’s physique…
Moreover, judging by his appearance, achieving all this didn’t seem very difficult for him… Could he also help her…
Even if it was just the Pure Yang Body…
Xuan Ke couldn’t help thinking, while Yan Luo was so happy that joy was written all over her face.
‘Yuyang, hehe, Yuyang must have a place for me in his heart. Otherwise, why would he expend so much effort to help me achieve the Blazing Sun Body…’
Thinking this with wild joy, the girl’s cheeks even flushed, and even her gaze toward Xuan Ke softened.
At the same time, she quickly pressed her: “Quick, tell me, what did Yuyang do to me just now?”
Xuan Ke gave a small glare at Yan Luo, whose face was full of infatuation.
Seeing her so smug and proud, Xuan Ke felt annoyed all over.
“Hmph, ask him yourself. I’m busy.”
Xuan Ke turned her head away, sat down cross-legged again, and resumed her cultivation, but she couldn’t keep focused no matter what.
Yan Luo wasn’t angry.
Instead, she turned to look at Chen Yuyang, a grin involuntarily spreading across her face as she laughed dreamily.
“That’s right, no rush, no rush. Once he’s rested, I’ll ask him slowly.”
