This was the second time she woke up in Senior Brother Ye’s arms—
The first time was in the inn a few days ago. She was not sleeping well, and she lay on Ye Xiuwen's body, using her hands and feet to tie him into her arms like a pillow. But this time, she She was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and her whole body was held in Ye Xiuwen's arms. She actually stretched out her hands and hugged Ye Xiuwen's waist!
Jun Xiaomo's stuck head started to work again after a moment, and a burst of hot air rushed to her forehead, making her still-not-sober brain dizzy again.
Jun Xiaomo quickly retracted his hand and shrank into the quilt, trying to avoid this embarrassing moment.
In Ye Xiuwen's eyes, the "little boy" in front of him first opened his sleepy eyes and looked at him blankly... Then, when the water vapor in "his" eyes gradually dissipated, his eyes widened in surprise. Her ears were instantly dyed pink, and she was obviously shy.
Now, the "little boy"'s behavior of desperately hiding under the quilt made Ye Xiuwen really doubt whether he had really done something heinous and bad.
Helplessly patting "Yao Mo" on the head, Ye Xiuwen said calmly: "Okay, last night you kept shouting that you were cold and tried your best to get to the bonfire. In order to prevent you from burning yourself, I just I can hold you like this."
Ye Xiuwen's frank expression made Jun Xiaomo, who had been avoiding her, feel that she was making a fuss out of a molehill. After all, she was a "teenager" now, wasn't she? Hey, this is normal, right
However, how embarrassing it would be if one day her senior brother discovered her true identity... Jun Xiaomo was about to cry but had no tears left.
Looking at the troubled "little boy", Ye Xiuwen suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart and asked seriously: "Xiao Mo, are you so defenseless against everyone?"
"Huh?" Jun Xiaomo didn't know why Ye Xiuwen suddenly brought up this topic.
"You sucked the snake venom from my blood last night. Do you know what the consequences will be? We have only known each other for a few days, and you already trust me so much. Are you not afraid that I will take the opportunity to seize it from you? A storage ring?”
Ye Xiuwen's cultivation level is nearly ten levels higher than Jun Xiaomo's. It would be very easy to erase the traces on Jun Xiaomo's storage ring and keep it as his own. Especially when "Yao Mo" sucked the snake venom for him and became weak, it was even easier to do this.
"I don't believe you would take my storage ring." Jun Xiaomo raised his chin and said.
"Oh? Why? Are you so defenseless against everyone?" Ye Xiuwen raised his eyebrows and continued to ask.
"Where! I only fully trust you, how dare I trust others! Maybe even if I keep on guarding, they will trick me into nothing!" Jun Xiaomo glared at Ye Xiuwen and said, His rhetoric was extremely dissatisfying.
Ye Xiuwen curled his lips and said meaningfully: "Oh? Then can you tell me why you only trust me completely?"
Jun Xiaomo choked immediately and looked at Ye Xiuwen with wide eyes.
She... what could she say? Could it be that she had piercing eyes and could see at a glance that Ye Xiuwen was a good person? Saying this would only make her look stupid, right? !
Also, why does she always feel like her senior brother means something in his words
The smile on Ye Xiuwen's lips gradually faded. He stared at Jun Xiaomo seriously and said calmly: "Xiaomo, you know, I always feel that you know me."
Jun Xiaomo's eyes widened even more, his mouth opened, and he was stunned for a long time before he laughed dryly twice and stammered: "Ha... haha... how... how is it possible... haha... Brother Ye, you You haven’t seen me either…”
Ye Xiuwen's eyes flashed, and he was seventy percent sure of this. What he said just now was just for testing. He didn't expect that the "little boy" in front of him really knew him.
This also explains clearly why "Yao Mo" would give himself unreserved trust.
"Okay, I won't force you to say it. You can tell me when you think it's appropriate." Ye Xiuwen patted Jun Xiaomo's head and said gently, "Also, thank you Xiaomo for I removed the snake venom from my body. If it weren’t for you, I might still be in pain for several days.”
Jun Xiaomo secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, then smiled and said: "Brother Ye and I are so polite, I have long regarded Brother Ye as a good friend who is close to each other in life and death!"
"Haha..." Ye Xiuwen rubbed Jun Xiaomo's hair, which made Jun Xiaomo's already disobedient hair even more messy.
Jun Xiaomo raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Xiuwen, narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Squeak!" Xiaotuanzi had been busy for most of the night, and was only awakened by the movement here. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he saw Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen smiling at each other, which made him particularly unhappy. !
The unhappy result of Xiaotuanzi was that he jumped into Jun Xiaomo's arms, called out "Zhi Zhi Zhi" a few times, and even used his paws to pull Jun Xiaomo's clothes, asking her to focus on him. On the body.
"Hey, the little one is awake too?" Jun Xiaomo poked the meaty little dumpling with a smile, then picked it up, kissed it, and said, "Thank you, little dumpling, if If you hadn't discovered this cave yesterday, I'm afraid Brother Ye and I would have become the lunch and dinner of that blue cloud python."
And the large piece of fire scale grass outside the cave was also one of the powerful props to drive away the Qingyun Python.
Xiaotuanzi, who was kissed on the plush cheek by Jun Xiaomo, suddenly became dizzy and lost his way. It retracted its paws into its fur, and its dark eyes stared at Jun Xiaomo's lips as if they were shining.
Jun Xiaomo didn't understand Xiaotuanzi's expression and body language at all. She just felt that the little group of mice balled up in her palm was particularly cute, and she couldn't help but reached out and stroked Xiaotuanzi's back.
Ye Xiuwen also smiled. He reached out and patted Xiaotuanzi on the head and said, "Yesterday, it not only saved you, Xiaomo, but also saved me. If it hadn't given the Qingyun Python a blow in the end, I wouldn't have Get out of trouble so smoothly."
"Eh? Really? Xiaotuanzi, you are so awesome!" Jun Xiaomo said happily.
"Squeak!" Xiaotuanzi raised his paws, puffed up his chest, and then threw Ye Xiuwen's hand away in disgust - its head could only be patted by Xiaomo!
Ye Xiuwen retracted his hand helplessly. He found that "Yao Mo"'s little pet really hated him, even if it saved his life.
"Pfft~" Jun Xiaomo couldn't help laughing. After a while, she remembered the business: "Eh? That's right! How are we going to leave here later? Use a teleportation scroll?"
The entrance when they came in was above their heads, and the tunnel was so deep and narrow that it was impossible to get out from there.
Ye Xiuwen frowned and said, "We can try the teleportation scroll first."
However, he had a hunch that the teleportation scroll might not be effective in this cave.
Jun Xiaomo took out the teleportation scroll and put two spirit stones on it. The spirit stones disappeared in the blink of an eye, while the teleportation scroll just flickered and stopped responding.
It takes a while for the teleportation scroll to take effect, because it will automatically search for a suitable teleportation point, so Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen stood there and waited for a while. As a result, the teleportation scroll still did not emit the light that the teleportation point was successfully connected. .
"Um... It seems that it is easier to get in than to get out." Jun Xiaomo said depressedly.
Ye Xiuwen had already had a premonition, so he wasn't too surprised.
"Let's go. I don't think this cave is naturally formed. It should be man-made. Since you can get in, there must be a way out. Let's go inside and take a look."
This cave is surrounded by walls on three sides, and only one side has a deep path that extends inward. It is unknown where it will lead.
"That's all it can do." Jun Xiaomo sighed helplessly, took out a luminous bead from the storage ring, and held it in his hand.
They couldn't go inside with a pile of burning hay, so they could only take out night-light beads. Jun Xiaomo took one himself and gave one to Ye Xiuwen.
The illumination of the luminous beads is not as bright as burning hay, but it is barely enough.
Looking at the luminous pearl in his hand, Ye Xiuwen smiled lightly, and then walked inside first.
"Hey! Brother Ye, wait for me!" Jun Xiaomo didn't expect that Ye Xiuwen walked inside without even saying hello, and quickly raised his legs to follow him. She put Xiaotuanzi back into the bag next to her clothes, lying on the edge of the bag and looking out.
The reason why Ye Xiuwen walked in first was because the people walking in front were also the most vulnerable to danger.
He walked forward cautiously, and at the same time released his spiritual consciousness to detect the abnormality around him. As a result, as we walked all the way in, apart from the fact that the temperature was getting lower and lower, we didn't seem to encounter any special circumstances.
"Hiss—are there several icehouses here? Why is it getting colder and colder?" Jun Xiaomo muttered softly, crossing his arms.
"Do you need some more clothes?" Ye Xiuwen turned around and asked. He put some thicker clothes in his storage ring.
"Ah... No need, haha, thank you, Brother Ye." Jun Xiaomo waved her hands repeatedly, feeling that she would be embarrassed to put on her senior brother's clothes.
Ye Xiuwen nodded and said, "Okay, don't be brave. If you really can't stand it, remember to tell me."
"Okay." Jun Xiaomo responded with a grin.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred! The little dumpling let out a "squeak", then jumped suddenly, jumped out of Jun Xiaomo's bag, and ran quickly towards the dark area ahead.
"Xiao Tuanzi!" Jun Xiaomo called out hurriedly, and ran after him before he could think about it.
Ye Xiuwen frowned, feeling a little angry at the recklessness of the two masters. He had no choice but to speed up and follow them.
As I ran, the trail suddenly opened up. Then, with a sharp turn, a completely different scene suddenly appeared in front of me -
This was a very huge cave, three times larger than the place they had just been in. The four walls of the cave are inlaid with neat rows of luminous beads, making the entire cave look very bright.
However, the most shocking thing is the huge formation in the middle of the cave. The formation is driven by ninety-nine and eighty-one high-grade spiritual stones. Some black liquid slowly flows along the lines of the formation. Arrive at the stone platform in the middle. That should be where the formation eye is. All the ** condensed into a round solid that is as black as ink, has a metallic luster like a gem.
"This is..." Jun Xiaomo's eyes widened in slight surprise.
The one who reacted more directly was the little dumpling who ran in here first. It ran into the formation completely unhindered, then kicked off its legs and landed on the stone platform, getting close to the round black stone. He narrowed his eyes and absorbed the power of the stone with great enjoyment.
Ye Xiuwen also followed. As he approached the place, he suddenly felt a discomfort on his face. He couldn't help but groaned "um" and covered the scar on his face.
"Ah! I almost forgot!" Jun Xiaomo heard Ye Xiuwen's low moan, turned around quickly, ran towards Ye Xiuwen, took out a talisman from the storage ring, and patted it on Ye Xiuwen's face On the body.
Ye Xiuwen felt a cool breath slowly flow over the scar on his face, and the pain of being burned by fire disappeared from the scar.
"You..." Ye Xiuwen didn't expect that "Yao Mo" would even prepare such a talisman. You must know that the injury on his face is very special. It is related to the devil's energy. Only the "Demon Clearing Talisman" can temporarily relieve the devil's energy. Air erosion.
"Ahem, I will explain it later." Jun Xiaomo said with his eyes drifting from side to side.
Naturally, a large part of the reason why she had this kind of talisman was for Ye Xiuwen. As for herself - she is a demon cultivator and is not afraid of the corrosive power of demonic energy at all.
Ye Xiuwen patted her shoulder and said warmly: "Xiao Mo, thank you."
Jun Xiaomo put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice, and said sheepishly: "I told you not to be so polite."
"Zhizhi!" Xiaotuanzi raised his eyelids and interrupted the conversation and atmosphere between the two without a look.
Ye Xiuwen was not annoyed, but shook his head helplessly, and then asked Jun Xiaomo: "Xiaomo, do you know this formation?"
He saw "Yao Mo's" expression just now, and Ye Xiuwen understood that "Yao Mo" should be familiar with this formation.
Jun Xiaomo lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "Yes, I know, this should be the Demon Gathering Array..."
"Demon Gathering Array?!" Ye Xiuwen clenched his hands suddenly, with violent mood swings in his eyes.
