Zu An's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, he had accidentally stepped on a landmine.
Why should I get involved in the affairs between these two mortal enemies?
Before he could say anything, Yan Xuehen objected: "He was just stating a fair opinion, why are you yelling at him!"
Yun Jianyue ignored her, only staring at Zu An with unfriendly eyes, seemingly waiting for his response.
"I..." Zu An was about to answer when he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and began to stagger.
Yun Jianyue was startled and quickly helped him up: "What's wrong?"
Yu Yanluo also noticed the commotion and hurriedly returned: "Grandpa!"
Zu An forced a smile: "It's nothing. It's probably because my body couldn't handle the continuous exertion. I'll be fine after a bit of breathing exercises."
"Then you should quickly adjust your breathing," Yan Xuehen said hurriedly, and quickly got off his back and sat down to the side.
"Okay." Zu An closed his eyes and began to meditate and circulate his internal energy.
Seeing that his breathing gradually returned to normal, Yun Jianyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Yan Xuehen fiercely: "He expended too much energy to save you, you ice stone woman, and even had to carry you on his back. You, a grandmaster, have fallen to this state. You might as well just buy a block of tofu and kill yourself."
Yan Xuehen felt guilty as well, but she still couldn't stand being spoken to like that by her nemesis: "Isn't it because you were mean to him and argued with him that he got so angry that he had a heart attack? How dare you say that to me!"
...
The two women, neither willing to back down, started arguing with each other.
Zuan, who was recuperating, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't injured at all; he had simply been caught off guard and resorted to a self-inflicted injury, which now seemed to have worked quite well.
Just then, a crisp snapping sound came from the side.
He peeked out and saw that Yun Jianyue had already pinned Yan Xuehen to her knees and was giving her a good beating on the buttocks.
Yan Xuehen struggled desperately, but her injuries were more severe, and she was now very weak, so she was unable to break free. Her buttocks trembled and shook as she was hit.
"Is it really that bouncy?" Zu An was shocked, but having learned his lesson, he didn't get involved this time.
Fortunately, Yu Yanluo couldn't stand it anymore and advised, "You two stop fooling around, don't disturb Azu's healing."
Hearing her say that, Yun Jianyue finally stopped.
Yan Xuehen covered her buttocks, looking utterly ashamed and indignant.
Yun Jianyue, however, was quite smug, looking like she thought, "Try biting me if you dare."
Yan Xuehen was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
After a while, Zuan felt that the time was about right, so he pretended to have finished recuperating and opened his eyes: "I've recovered, let's continue on our way."
Yan Xuehen's cheeks were slightly flushed, clearly still feeling the shame of being hit by Yun Jianyue: "I can walk by myself, you should rest."
Zuan smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm as strong as an ox. I just had a slight stitch, but I'm fine now."
Without waiting for her reaction, he squatted down in front of her and carried her on his back.
"Ah..." Yan Xuehen couldn't help but gasp when the other person's hand touched her thigh.
"What's wrong?" Zu An asked, startled.
"It's nothing." Yan Xuehen's face flushed slightly. How could she possibly answer that she was still in pain after being hit by Yun Jianyue?
The group continued on their journey. At first, Yan Xuehen tried to keep her elbows from touching the other person, but later she became weaker and weaker and had to quietly let go and gently press her elbows against his back.
Zuan noticed her movements, chuckled, and said nothing, continuing to sneak away behind her back.
However, Yan Xuehen soon became increasingly distressed because she discovered that this position led to a half-hearted touch. After a few times, she noticed the abnormality in her body and became increasingly embarrassed.
Left with no other choice, she could only tightly hug Zuan's neck and press her body against his back to avoid the occasional rubbing.
At first, she felt extremely shy when she felt the heat coming from the other person's thick vest, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other person did not make any move.
Zu An's expression was strange at this moment. He never expected that Yan Xuehen, who usually looked so ethereal, would actually be so powerful. The heavy sense of oppression was truly unsettling.
"She is Chu Yan's master." He hurriedly reminded himself, and only then did he calm his mind.
Yan Xuehen's mood gradually calmed down, and she felt that his back was so broad and warm, giving her a sense of security.
Gradually, a feeling of fatigue washed over her. She was severely injured and weak, and the healing process had also drained her energy. At this moment, she unconsciously drifted into a dream. The smile on her lips was no longer as cold as before, but instead became even more gentle and sweet.
Yun Jianyue, standing to the side, snorted inwardly. This woman was indeed quite attractive; no wonder all the forces in the world treated her like a fairy.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Yanluo suddenly exclaimed with delight, "I found the mark left by Xingnu!"
"It seems they should be alright." Zuan also breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them came down to find the Star Slave and the Serpent Clan. After seeing so many dead worms, their hearts sank to the bottom. Now that they have received news of them again, they can finally relax.
"Yes!" Yu Yanluo's expression also brightened, and her whole body was instantly filled with energy.
The group then quickened their pace and continued traversing various complex mine tunnels, which became increasingly wider.
"We're almost at the exit." Yu Yanluo looked excited and quickly arrived at a stone door. She then found a mechanism on the side, took out a jade pendant she wore close to her body, placed it in the groove inside, and then rotated the mechanism to different angles.
