I don’t know how long it took before the two of them got enough of the intimacy and they leaned against each other quietly, enjoying the satisfaction of the moment.
When the nerves paralyzed by passion gradually recovered, Chen Xiao's face soon turned pale and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Xi Yunting was right next to him, and he immediately noticed something was wrong. He pulled away, lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xiao wanted to purse his lips, but felt a stinging pain on them. Not only did his jaw and tongue feel sore, but his lips were also swollen and red from excessive friction, and it was hot and painful, which made him gasp softly. Seeing that he couldn't answer, Xi Yunting simply helped him walk a few steps, and sat on the ground after getting ashore.
Chen Xiao exhaled, and then said weakly: "I was strangled by that monster just now, so I might be a little injured."
When Xi Yunting heard this, he hurried to take off his clothes. Chen Xiao raised his hand to facilitate his movements. Soon all his clothes were taken off. The cold wind made his hair stand on end.
"It's so cold—" Chen Xiao shrank his neck. It was dark all around, so Chen Xiao couldn't see anything, but he could sense Xi Yunting's mood changes by feeling, "What's wrong? Are you seriously injured?"
Xi Yunting said in a tense voice: "Wait a moment, I'll light a fire to keep you warm."
Chen Xiao was puzzled, but he still said "oh" obediently. He was in a particularly good mood at the moment because he and Xi Yunting had confirmed their feelings and they were in love. Although his waist was aching, it did not affect his good mood at all.
The cave was very damp, and there was no material that could be used to ignite. However, this did not bother Xi Yunting. He cast a spell directly beside Chen Xiao, and a volleyball-sized fireball appeared, quietly suspended there and burning.
Chen Xiao looked down and found that his waist had turned completely purple and black, which was horrible. Chen Xiao grinned. He was actually strangled by the monster's tentacles. No wonder he was in so much pain!
The coat Chen Xiao was wearing was torn by the suction cups. He was heartbroken that this new coat was ruined after just one wear. He reached out to take out another piece from the storage box on his wrist, but Xi Yunting sternly stopped him: "Don't move!"
He walked over with a serious and cold look on his face, as well as an unmistakable anger.
Chen Xiao was not frightened, but his eyes softened. He raised his arm and stretched out his hand, saying, "Brother, don't be upset. I'm fine."
He did understand correctly. Xi Yunting was blaming himself for being careless and not being able to notice Xiaodi's injuries in time, and only indulging in his own selfish desires.
Xi Yunting came over and held Chen Xiao's hand. The coldness on his face gradually disappeared, and worry appeared between his brows. He took out a piece of his own clothing, shook it open and draped it over Chen Xiao's shoulders: "Warm yourself up first, and I'll give you medicine right away."
Xi Yunting brought a full range of medicines, and the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine was the most basic equipment. He gently dug out the ointment and applied it to Chen Xiao's wound. In just a quarter of an hour, the purple and black on his body lightened a lot and turned into a light brown.
Xi Yunting frowned and said unsatisfactorily: "This mark cannot be removed in a short time."
Xiaodi's skin is all white, except for a large circle of brown marks around his waist, which is particularly eye-catching.
Chen Xiao smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, just take care of it, it will be fine in a few days."
Xi Yunting could only nod, then found a nourishing pill and gave it to him to eat, only then did he feel relieved.
Chen Xiao put on his clothes and stood up, walking towards the giant dead monster. After a careful look, he recognized that it was a giant squid.
He exclaimed: "Such a big squid, I don't know how many years it has lived."
Xi Yunting controlled the flame to fly to his hand, and considerately illuminated the front of Chen Xiao. He said: "It has been at least a hundred years. This cave was not there when I came here last time."
Chen Xiao was stunned when he heard this. He was thinking about how old Xi Yunting was. He thought it must be at least a hundred years old. Then, he shook his head with a smile. This is a world of immortal cultivation. What's the point of counting years? Anyway, in the eyes of the world, the eldest brother is a young and promising child of destiny.
Xi Yunting didn't know what he was thinking. He just looked at the squid that had collapsed into a large lump with a critical eye, wondering where to start cutting it. He asked, "Brother Xiao, do you want to take this squid back to cook?"
Xi Yunting was angry at the squid for disturbing him, and the magic he used was too powerful, and the outer skin was actually burnt. To be honest, using this squid as food is not very ideal.
Chen Xiao shook his head: "No need. I have put one tentacle in my storage box, which is enough."
Xi Yunting nodded. He then pushed the squid directly into the sea water. Soon, the huge body would turn into nutrients and settle on the seabed or be eaten by various creatures. He did not do this for any purpose of revenge, but it was a tradition in the world of immortal cultivation. For prey that was not needed, it was directly returned to nature.
The return trip was still the same route, but everything had changed dramatically. Xi Yunting could naturally hold Chen Xiao's hand, and he could also naturally put his arm around his waist and lead him away without any worries.
It took a while to get back to the island, and it was already three or four in the afternoon. Chen Xiao felt very hungry after missing lunch, so he just barely filled his stomach with some dry food, and then the two of them started to work in the camp.
The ingredients for dinner were directly from today's harvest, including a sea fish, a lobster, and a squid. Xi Yunting was more enthusiastic than ever, and he took the initiative to take on the task of preparing the ingredients. Chen Xiao was a little hesitant, because Xi Yunting had never done such a worldly thing before. The previous hand-made omelette was so skillful that it didn't damage Xi Yunting's image.
But he didn't insist stubbornly, which would have spoiled his elder brother's mood.
Chen Xiao prepared other tasks while distractingly watching Xi Yunting. Although it was the first time for Xi Yunting to do such a thing, as a sword cultivator, he naturally had a strong ability to control tools and knives with sharp edges.
Soon, he processed the sea fish according to Chen Xiao's request, cut the fish meat into fish fillets, cut the squid into slices of moderate thickness, and only cut off the head of the lobster and divided its body into several sections.
The lobster's head and chest were in a bad shape due to injuries, so Chen Xiao discarded it. It just so happened that their pot was not that big, so after dividing it into several sections, it would be very convenient to roast or boil it.
Cutting open the thick shell of the lobster, you can smell a very fresh smell. This made Chen Xiao unable to help swallowing. He was somewhat worried about happiness. Should such a big lobster be grilled or boiled?
Chen Xiao was struggling here, and Xi Yunting stood up after processing the ingredients. He said to him: "Brother Xiao, I will leave for a while and go to the island to see if there is anything else to eat."
Chen Xiao nodded and said okay.
When Xi Yunting walked into the dense forest of the island, Chen Xiao decided to roast half and boil the other half.
Making soup yesterday gave him confidence, so he threw large chunks of lobster directly into the pot. The rest of the ingredients, except for the sea fish that were to be eaten raw, were skewered on sticks cut into thin sticks and grilled.
"Xiaoxiao——" Tong Nonuo's voice came, "So you are camping here."
Chen Xiao looked up and saw Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru coming ashore from the sea. Chen Xiao waved to his friends happily, "Come here quickly. There are a lot of ingredients today. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to finish them all."
Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru walked over quickly, looking at the mountain of food piled up in front of Chen Xiao, they were very surprised: "He hunted so much. You are worthy of being Xiaoxiao..." These words were very meaningful.
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at them and handed them the stick: "Help me quickly!"
By the time Xi Yunting came back from the island, the three of them had already cooked all the ingredients. Even Tong Nuonuo couldn't wait and just pinched the fish fillets with her hands and dipped them in the sauce to eat.
Xi Yunting was a little surprised to see them, and couldn't help but pause. Chen Xiao stood up happily and walked towards him: "What did you find? Is it a bird egg?"
Xi Yunting looked at him with a gentle gaze. He nodded and took out the bird eggs wrapped in large leaves from the storage bag. Then he magically took out a container woven with vines, which contained several brightly colored and large fruits. "If you only eat meat for a long time, I'm afraid your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
"There are actually fruits on this island!" said Chen Xiao.
Tong Nuonuo sat there and said loudly: "Yes, this island is actually quite large. Not only are there wild fruit trees, but there were also aboriginal people living there. You can still find crops grown from their crops. But later, as more and more large aquatic beasts appeared, they moved away from here."
Xi Yunting frowned slightly, and then sat down with Chen Xiao on the edge of the fire pit. They were all hungry, so they didn't say anything more and ate up all the seafood, leaving no fruit that Xi Yunting brought back.
However, Xi Yunting did not show his special cooking skills this time, and Chen Xiao did not mention it. A dozen bird eggs were cooked directly, and each person was given a few.
After dinner, Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru cleaned up the mess while saying, "Since we happened to meet, let's camp together tonight. We can take care of each other."
Chen Xiao paused while cleaning up the dishes, and when he looked up, his eyes met Xi Yunting's. Although it was reasonable, for lovers who had just confirmed their relationship, they still hoped to have some time alone.
Xi Yunting gently looked away and glanced at Tong Nonuo. There was no expression on his face. His eyes were calm, but they made Tong Nonuo feel cold. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Tang Ru was much more perceptive than Tong Nuonuo, and she seemed to have noticed something. She stood up, pulled Tong Nuonuo up and said, "Isn't it enough to just get a free meal? We clearly agreed to split up into groups, but you still have to rely on the campsite. There will be plenty of opportunities to camp together in the future, and it's rare that we have some free time now, so let's go back to our campsite."
Tong Nuonuo stumbled as she was dragged, and she said as she walked: "Hey, Ah Rou, why are you in such a hurry? Even if it's like this, you don't have to go back now, right? It's still early, and I haven't told Xiaoxiao about my gains today."
Tang Ru said in a faint voice: "Oh, I can't remember whether I left a mark for our camp."
Tong Nuonuo didn't waste any more words and ran forward quickly: "Let's go back and take a look, in case someone occupies it and we have to prepare a new place..."
