Having escaped Shi Junfei's threat, Shen Yunhao quietly returned to the hidden cave along the same route.
The cave was still dimly lit, with only a faint light reflected from the deep pool.
As soon as they stepped into the cave, a faint sound of splashing water and a woman's languid complaint could be clearly heard.
"Keep your eyes in check!"
Shen Yunhao paused, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Wu Yun'er in a small pool deep inside the cave, her back to the cave entrance, immersed in the cool water, with only her smooth, rounded shoulders and wet long hair showing.
While verbally warning Shen Yunhao, she unabashedly scooped up water with her hands to wash her neck and arms, her fair skin glowing softly in the water.
Clearly, although this girl was shouting fiercely, she actually trusted Shen Yunhao's character immensely and had almost no defenses against him.
Fortunately, Shen Yunhao did as she expected, sitting down on a dry rock several meters away from the pool, with his back to the pool.
"Don't worry, I can't see Ping..."
"Whoosh!"
Before he could finish speaking, several water jets shot out, drenching Shen Yunhao completely...
What are you doing?
"Who told you to talk nonsense?"
"To be honest, if you're so capable, show me..."
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Several more water jets shot out.
"..."
Wu Yun'er, soaking in the water, puffed out her cheeks and bit her lip, saying, "If... Ning Yuyao were here, would you tease her like this?"
"No, if it's Yao..." Shen Yunhao immediately sensed something was wrong and said seriously, "What nonsense are you talking about? Ning Xianzi and I are completely innocent. Don't make baseless accusations!"
"Heh! You were threatening to spank someone before! Turns out this is all you've got?"
"..."
Shen Yunhao scratched his head awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, asking, "What's the situation outside? I've been hiding in this cave for almost half a month, practically deaf and blind."
The sound of splashing water came from the pool. Wu Yun'er seemed to turn around, her voice tinged with disdain: "Tch! So you're hiding here like a coward? I thought you were something special!"
Shen Yunhao was too lazy to explain to her that he was meditating here to comprehend the "unity of man and sword," and simply pursed his lips without saying a word.
"What else can we do? It's a complete mess! There's constant fighting and elimination every day. Even in the Guanghan Palace, besides Ning Yuyao, Guan Yingying, Senior Sister Yao and me, there are only two or three junior sisters with decent strength left to hold it together."
Shen Yunhao was slightly taken aback and asked again, "Where are those lunatics from the Tai Xuan Dao Sect? Why were they chasing after you?"
"Why?" Wu Yun'er asked angrily. "I want to know why too! They insist that I plotted against their three junior brothers in Wanren City! That's utter nonsense! How could I have the time to plot against them? They're clearly just looking for trouble!"
"..."
Shen Yunhao felt ashamed upon hearing this.
It seems...it appears...directly speaking, it was indeed he and Mu Shuangshuang who plotted against those three Tai Xuan disciples, which caused Wu Yun'er to take the blame and become the target of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect's revenge...
"Ahem..." Shen Yunhao coughed lightly to cover up his guilty conscience, and changed the subject again, saying, "Have you soaked enough? It's time to come out! Be careful not to catch a cold!"
"Mind your own business!" Wu Yun'er retorted immediately. "I didn't ask you to guard it! I'm just soaking in the water, it's none of your concern! This pool is so comfortable!"
What she said was absolutely true.
The Cangxuan Secret Realm is fraught with danger, especially for Wu Yun'er, who is acting alone. For the past half month, she has been on tenterhooks and her mind has been on edge every moment.
Only now, in this enclosed cave, did she feel her tense nerves finally relax completely.
The cool pool water washed away the blood and fatigue, and the rare relaxation made her feel refreshed and relaxed. Naturally, she wished she could soak in it a little longer.
Seeing that she refused to come out, Shen Yunhao didn't say anything more. He just stood up, patted his bottom, and said, "Okay, you can soak in there slowly. I'm going out for some fresh air."
After saying that, he walked towards the cave entrance without looking back.
Wu Yun'er was surprised that Shen Yunhao had really left, and her expression was inexplicably dazed.
A moment later, a faint sense of grievance and disappointment welled up inside me.
She angrily sank into the water, leaving only her nose and eyes above the surface.
If... this guy really did sneak over to take a look...
Would she... actually feel a little better?
"Pah! What am I thinking? I'm completely out of my mind!"
Beneath the clear water, the girl's face was rosy, like a flower reflected in a mirror.
However, just as Wu Yun'er's thoughts were racing...
Whoosh!
A sudden, sharp, needle-like pain shot through my calf underwater! It felt like I'd been bitten by something!
"Hmm!"
The next second, Wu Yun'er felt her head sink.
"Oh no! There's poison!"
Without hesitation, she jumped out of the water!
Water splashed everywhere, and her delicate body, like a lotus emerging from the water, bloomed instantly, only to be immediately covered by an elegant long robe.
Lifting the hem of his robe, large patches of black grime appeared on his fair calves, clearly from some kind of deadly poison!
After hesitating for only two seconds, Wu Yun'er shouted towards the outside of the cave.
"Super...Superman strong...This...Here...is..."
Halfway through shouting, my consciousness suddenly blurred!
"Damn it..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
At the same time, Shen Yunhao had only taken a few steps out of the cave when he heard Wu Yun'er's muffled groan coming from inside.
His first thought was that Wu Yun'er was sulking, but the sound of water coming out and her falling to the ground immediately made him realize that something was wrong.
He immediately turned back to the cave, and the sight before him made him frown.
Wu Yun'er collapsed to the ground, her face pale. Her plain white robe was haphazardly wrapped around her body, revealing a section of her snow-white calf, which was now covered with large patches of horrifying bluish-black.
"This is...poisoning?"
As his thoughts raced, Shen Yunhao immediately guessed that there was something wrong with the inside of the pool, otherwise the symptoms wouldn't have come on so suddenly.
"I told you to soak! Now you've caused problems!" Shen Yunhao was sharp-tongued, but his actions were swift. He flashed to the girl's side, using the Han Hai Xin to detoxify her while cautiously looking down into the pool.
A very thin black shadow disappeared into the depths of the pool.
"We were careless... It seems those knocks attracted not only the rock python, but also other demons and monsters..."
Shen Yunhao sighed, then turned around and suddenly froze.
He hadn't noticed while he was taking the detox, but now he realized that after the girl collapsed, her clothes had slipped down a bit, revealing a glimpse... of the tip of the iceberg...
Wu Yun'er gave a soft snort, opened her eyes at the right moment, and was about to speak when she noticed Shen Yunhao's gaze.
Then he too was stunned.
