Chapter 60: Yun Yun's Irresistible Allure
Wu Tian wasn't about to make it obvious that someone was hiding here.
So, before returning to the cave, he spread some repellent powder around the area.
The magical beasts searching the river were low ranked and not very intelligent,
But with the Amethyst Winged Lion King's orders,
They would thoroughly inspect every inch of the riverbank.
If they sensed anything unusual,
They would alert the rest
And soon, Wu Tian and Yun Yun would find themselves surrounded by a horde of enraged beasts.
That was not an outcome he wanted.
So, after spotting a few beasts further upstream,
He filled a few containers with water for later use
And stacked some stones at the cave entrance, narrowing the already small opening.
From the outside, thanks to the waterfall's cover and the shadows cast by the rocks,
The cave was now completely invisible.
Of course, he left a few small holes
Because ventilation was necessary.
If anything… intense happened in the next few days,
It wouldn't do to run out of air, right?
Also, these rocks would help muffle any sounds from inside.
He wasn't suggesting anything, of course
But… preparation is key!
❖
When Wu Tian finally re entered the cave,
He was met with a very different Yun Yun from before.
Earlier, she had been lying down, recovering from her wounds.
Now, she was sitting up, wrapped in a thin blanket.
And, oh, did she look tempting.
The way she was curled up
Her slender arms wrapped around her long, pale legs
It wasn't just seductive
It also made her seem delicate and lost,
As if she were vulnerable and uncertain.
Wu Tian raised an eyebrow.
"I was gone for half an hour… What happened?"
"Did she remember something painful?"
Before he could ask, Yun Yun lifted her head,
Her exquisite face coming into view.
But… there were faint tear stains on her cheeks.
"She cried?"
"Yun Yun… the leader of the Misty Cloud Sect… cried?"
Wu Tian found this hard to believe.
"What made her cry? Who made her cry?"
For some reason, he felt an impulsive desire to beat that person to death.
As she looked at him, her lips curved into a soft smile.
Her voice was gentle as she said,
"Wu Tian, you're back."
Wu Tian: "..."
"She was just crying, and now she's smiling at me so sweetly?!"
"What's with this small, delicate, feminine energy?!"
Still confused, he nodded and sat down beside her.
He smiled slightly and asked,
"Feeling better?"
Yun Yun lowered her gaze,
A soft sigh escaping her lips.
"My external injuries aren't too serious anymore.
But the seal inside my body… it'll take a few more days to break.
And honestly, I feel so weak… Even just wrapping myself in this blanket took a long time."
Wu Tian's eyes flickered to the blanket wrapped around her.
He noticed certain areas were… well, accentuated.
Immediately, he shook his head and looked away.
With a wave of his hand, he retrieved a black robe from his storage ring.
Sure, he had women's clothing in there
But they belonged to Medusa.
Giving Yun Yun Medusa's clothes?
That would be the ultimate disaster.
It would be like handing over your girlfriend's hoodie to another girl.
"Absolutely not."
So instead, he offered,
"Here, wear this robe.
It'll be better than just using a blanket."
Yun Yun's face flushed red as she accepted it.
Then, without a second of hesitation
She lifted her hands,
And with a single graceful motion,
She let the blanket slip from her body.
Wu Tian: "..."
Holy sh
The curves
The flawless skin
The utter confidence with which she disrobed
All of it hit him at once.
"What the hell is happening?!"
"Since when did we get to the 'shamelessly stripping in front of each other' stage?!"
His mind went blank, and his body moved instinctively
He turned away. Fast.
He refused to look any longer.
"If I keep looking, I might not be able to stop myself."
Behind him, Yun Yun's lips curved into a knowing smile.
She deliberately took her time getting dressed
The soft rustling of fabric filling the cave.
Even though he wasn't watching,
The sound alone was dangerous.
It tempted the imagination.
It was like a slow, tantalizing seduction,
One that whispered:
"Aren't you curious?"
"Aren't you tempted?"
To Wu Tian, it felt endless.
Like an eternity later,
Yun Yun's soft voice finally came.
"I'm done. You can turn around now."
Wu Tian exhaled and turned.
When he saw her…
His eyelids twitched.
She was wearing the black robe he gave her
But…
She hadn't tied the waist sash.
Her fair, delicate shoulders peeked through the loose neckline.
Her smooth, toned stomach was exposed.
Her long, pale legs extended from the high slit of the robe,
An intoxicating contrast against the dark fabric.
Wu Tian: "..."
"What part of this is 'properly dressed'?!"
"You might as well have stayed in the blanket!"
As if completely unaware of her own allure,
Yun Yun smiled sweetly and said,
"I didn't have the strength to tie it properly.
Why don't you help me?"
Wu Tian: "..."
He silently cursed and forced himself to move.
Gently, he pulled the loose robe over her shoulders,
Covering the alluring view.
His hands brushed against her waist as he tied the sash.
The softness of her skin
The slight shiver that ran through her at his touch
The subtle hitch in her breath
Even though he kept his movements steady,
His heart pounded violently in his chest.
Finally, when he was done,
Yun Yun's face was completely red.
She felt hot.
Her emotions were in turmoil.
She whispered,
"Wu Tian… thank you."
Wu Tian waved his hand dismissively.
"Drink some water. You need to recover."
With that, he handed her a bamboo cup filled with water.
Then, without another word,
He turned and busied himself with other things.
Yun Yun stared at the cup in her hands.
Then, she looked at Wu Tian's broad back.
Her lips curled into a soft, warm smile.
Her gaze was gentle.
Affectionate.
Wu Tian, meanwhile, was trying to distract himself
By cooking some fish over his flames.
The aroma quickly filled the cave.
And as he focused on his task,
He told himself firmly
"That was just an accident."
"That was just an accident."
"That was just an accid "
…"Damn it."
