More than ten days passed quickly. During this time, Zhao Zixuan took care of Lin Yan's daily life. Every time Lin Yan killed a monster, Zhao Zixuan would process and cook it into delicious food. It has to be said that Zhao Zixuan's cooking was really good, and Lin Yan had even gained a few pounds during this period. At night, Zhao Zixuan would often help Lin Yan cover himself with a blanket, showing her meticulous care.
As they spent more and more time together each day, Lin Yan gradually grew accustomed to Zhao Zixuan's presence and his attitude towards her improved. After all, no one had been so attentive to Lin Yan since his grandfather and parents passed away.
On this day, Lin Yan finally found the ninth-level Cave Heaven Realm demon beast. He then said to Zhao Zixuan, "Zixuan, wait for me here. This demon beast is extremely ferocious. I'm afraid you'll get hurt."
Zhao Zixuan pretended to be concerned and said, "Can you manage on your own? If it's too dangerous, then give up. After all, this is a ninth-level Cave Heaven Realm demon beast."
Lin Yan smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Lin Yan then began to fight the ferocious beast. By constantly consuming the spiritual pills and herbs he had grown, Lin Yan, who was at the first level of the Cave Heaven Realm, was able to fight the ferocious beast, which was at the ninth level of the Cave Heaven Realm, to a standstill.
However, demonic beasts are far stronger than human bodies, and one moment of carelessness was all it took. A demonic beast's tail slapped Lin Yan's back, the immense force causing him to cough up blood instantly. Then, the beast lashed out with its tail again. Fearing that Lin Yan would be killed by this powerful beast and she wouldn't be able to complete the task Yuan Zhexian had entrusted to her, Zhao Zixuan quickly arrived in front of Lin Yan and summoned her treasure. A red umbrella with runes appeared before her.
This item was given to Zhao Zixuan by her master, who was also an elder of the Xuanlin Sect. It can withstand an attack from a powerhouse below the ninth level of the Cave Heaven Realm.
The red umbrella adorned with runes appeared before Zhao Zixuan, then emitted a red light that firmly blocked the monster's tail.
"Zixuan, get out of the way! You're no match for this monster!" Lin Yan said anxiously.
Zhao Zixuan pretended not to hear, using all her spiritual power to desperately block the beast's tail strike. Then, with a crack, the red umbrella was cleaved in two by the beast's tail, the pieces striking Zhao Zixuan. Zhao Zixuan's cultivation was still too low; she had only recently advanced to the Blood Refining Realm. Although some of her treasures blocked most of the force, the remaining power still knocked her unconscious, leaving a bloody gash on her arm.
"Zixuan!"
Seeing the unconscious Zhao Zixuan, Lin Yan's eyes were also bloodshot. He then took out two spirit pills and put them into his mouth. Immediately afterward, Lin Yan's aura intensified. He then thrust his spirit sword directly into the heart of the demon beast. The demon beast let out a painful cry and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Lin Yan then limped over to Zhao Zixuan, gently helped her up, and fed her a pill. Soon after, Zhao Zixuan slowly regained consciousness. Looking at Lin Yan, she immediately asked, "Are you alright? How are your injuries? How is the demon beast?"
Seeing Zhao Zixuan's concern for him as soon as he woke up, Lin Yan felt a warmth in his heart. Apart from his parents and grandfather, no one had ever risked their life to protect him like this. At this moment, Lin Yan began to develop feelings for Zhao Zixuan.
Lin Yan then said, "I have already killed the demonic beast."
Zhao Zixuan was also surprised. She had already been wondering why Lin Yan, who was only at the Body Tempering Realm, could fight a monster at the Cave Heaven Realm to a standstill when he was fighting it.
Looking at the beautiful woman before him with a questioning gaze, Lin Yan said, "I'm sorry, Zi Xuan. I had no choice but to conceal my cultivation level before. But from today onwards, I will no longer hide anything from you."
Hearing Lin Yan say this, Zhao Zixuan smiled inwardly. Fortunately, her efforts over the past few days had not been in vain. Lin Yan must have developed feelings for her now, which would allow her to complete the task assigned by Yuan Zhexian more quickly.
Zhao Zixuan smiled understandingly and said, "It's okay. Everyone has their own secrets, and I won't hide anything from you from now on either."
Seeing Lin Yan's response made her very happy. The happiest thing in life is when the person you like also likes you.
Another ten days or so passed, and by this time Lin Yan had completely fallen in love with the beauty before him, while Zhao Zixuan continued to take meticulous care of him, making Lin Yan very dependent on her.
That day, the two finally found a clear lake in the Monster Forest. Zhao Zixuan, who had been in the Monster Forest for a month, couldn't wait to take a nice bath. She then said to Lin Yan, "Don't peek," and found a secluded corner to start bathing.
Lin Yan was also feeling restless, his heart burning with desire as he thought of the beauty in the lake. Then, remembering that the two had already confessed their feelings, and that Zhao Zixuan would be his sooner or later, he decided to suppress his desire and immediately sat cross-legged.
After taking a shower, Zhao Zixuan got up wearing a white silk dress. Her curvaceous figure and a pair of fair legs were exposed, and water droplets spread down her smooth skin. The low neckline made her breasts appear and disappear.
Lin Yan swallowed hard. Then he went to Zhao Zixuan and said, "Zixuan, take this medicine and I'll apply some more medicine to it. Your injuries should be mostly healed by then." He took out a pill and fed it to Zhao Zixuan's mouth. Then he gently lifted Zhao Zixuan's arm and applied some spiritual medicine to it.
