Yun Ao and the others stared blankly at the dreamlike scene before them, and for a moment they forgot to speak and move, as if they were under a spell. At this moment, he heard his heart beating, and he seemed to be moved, just at this moment.
The woman landed gently on the ground, her body light and graceful. The cat in her arms was curled up lazily, its red eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
She opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was as sweet as a mountain spring, yet it also carried a hint of unquestionable majesty: "Why, are you all stupid after seeing me?"
Everyone suddenly woke up, and hurriedly stood up to pay their respects. Yun Ao suppressed the pain and said respectfully, "Thank you for saving my life, young lady. May I ask who you are and why you are here?"
The woman smiled softly, and her laughter echoed in the cave, carrying a bit of mystery and playfulness: "You don't need to know who I am. But you little guys are quite courageous to dare to enter such a dangerous place." As she spoke, her eyes swept over the wounds on everyone's bodies, frowned slightly, and gently raised her hand. A soft red light flashed, and the wounds on everyone's bodies began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the pain also eased.
Everyone was shocked and grateful again. Before they could thank her again, the cat in the woman's arms suddenly meowed, as if conveying some message to her.
The woman looked up at the depths of the cave, her eyes revealing a hint of solemnity: "Hmph, it seems there are some uninvited guests here. Those of you who can still walk, follow me closely and don't run around." After that, she hugged the cat tightly in her arms, took light steps, and walked towards the depths of the cave.
Although Yun Ao and others were full of doubts, they had no choice but to support each other and follow the woman closely.
As we went deeper, the atmosphere around us became more and more eerie. We could hear faint roars, as if some ferocious monster was lurking in the dark.
The woman looked calm and walked with firm steps. The red light emanating from her body illuminated the way forward for everyone and also dispelled some of the fear in their hearts.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a huge stone door suddenly appeared in front of them. The door was engraved with ancient and mysterious runes, emitting a powerful force of prohibition.
The woman stopped, looked at the stone door carefully, and murmured to herself: "Let's go." As she spoke, she waved her hand and the stone door opened, revealing a path of white light. Yun Ao and others took the first step, and when they came to their senses, they had already left the cave.
The cave collapsed just as everyone stepped out. Everyone looked at the woman who had come out last. For a moment, no one knew what to say. Finally, an elder came to his senses, stepped forward, bowed to the woman and said, "Thank you, Miss Yao, for saving our lives. We will never forget it!"
The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly when she heard this, saying, "No problem. I was just entrusted with a task, and I'm loyal to the person who entrusted me. I'll remember this favor, and if I need you to repay me in the future, please don't refuse!"
Everyone came to their senses when they heard this. This was the famous killer "Yao" in the martial arts world. It was rumored that anyone targeted by "Yao" could not escape. People said that she was not a good person, but she saved so many people today. Everyone was not sure how to treat this "Yao".
Finally, Qingyao turned around and disappeared like a ghost in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, everyone woke up as if from a dream and slowly withdrew their thoughts.
Then, the scene fell into a noise, and people began to say goodbye to each other. This cave exploration trip made them deeply realize that not all treasures can be easily obtained.
There were nearly four thousand people who entered the cave at the beginning, but less than five hundred people walked out alive. Such huge casualties are truly heartbreaking.
Everyone felt heavy in their hearts, knowing that the loss was extremely heavy. Therefore, everyone decided to return to their homes to recuperate for the time being, even Yun Ao and the people from his sect were no exception.
As they were seriously injured, Yun Ao and the others were currently unable to rush back to the sect, so they had to find an inn in a nearby town to stay temporarily so that they could recuperate.
After Yun Ao and his companions from the sect moved into this inn, all he had to do in the following days was to devote all his energy to healing his wounds.
The serious injury suffered this time should not be underestimated. It will probably take a long time to fully recover. Yun Ao dragged his exhausted body back to his room. After a short rest, he prepared to take a shower.
But just as he stepped into the tub, about to close his eyes and enjoy the comfort of the warm water, he suddenly noticed something strange. Yun Ao opened his eyes abruptly and found a figure lying on the edge of his tub! He looked closely and was stunned - the woman who appeared before him was none other than the "Yao" who had mysteriously disappeared!
Yun Ao widened his eyes, staring at the uninvited guest in front of him. The mist in the bathtub filled the space between the two of them. His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and an unprecedented sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. Just as he was about to ask, the woman quickly reached out and covered his mouth tightly.
Yun Ao's lips touched the soft palm of the woman's hand. In an instant, his mind went blank and he could only stare at the woman's bright and deep eyes in astonishment.
The woman's voice was as gentle as the breeze blowing across the strings of a musical instrument: "If you don't speak, I'll let you go, how about that?" Yun Ao nodded hurriedly, and the woman slowly put down her hand.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the woman's figure flashed and she was close to him in an instant. Yun Ao subconsciously shrank back, his heart pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of his throat.
He was about to ask the woman to stay away from him, but when he remembered the promise he had just made, he swallowed the words back and could only use his eyes to eagerly signal the woman to keep her distance.
