Chapter 78: Growing closer
Chapter 78: Growing closer
Walking outside the cave, Jian Shen noticed how high the sun was and guessed that he had cultivated for a few hours longer than usual.
After all, by this time he would usually be practising his sword techniques and increase his understanding of them.
Stretching his limbs under the warm sun, Jian Shen began walking towards the stream to wash himself.
Closing in on the stream, Jian Shen bent forward and like always splashed his face with the clear cold water. Once he did so, Jian Shen directly undressed and jumped inside the stream to take a bath.
It was only after he did so, that Jian Shen noticed something different than usual.
Today, he wasn't alone inside the stream.
Acting as if nothing was different, Jian Shen turned his head and smiled towards the stunned Yu Yan.
"Good morning."
"Go.. Goo... Good Morning??...!!!"
Realizing the situation she was in, Yu Yan suddenly shrieked and turned around so that only her back would be visible to Jian Shen.
"What.. What are you doing here?!!"
"Taking a bath?"
Feeling angered at how oblivious Jian Shen was behaving, Yu Yan shouted, "Stop fooling around! You finish bathing very early!"
You couldn't actually blame Yu Yan for not noticing the fact that Jian Shen was still cultivating, because the cave inside was split into two.
And the both of them lived in a different side.
That's why, Yu Yan guessed that Jian Shen had woken up early and finished bathing like always, and could therefore enjoy her daily bath.
"Oh, that? I was too focused on cultivation and didn't notice the time. But, how do you know when I bath?"
"I usually see you whe... I guessed!"
Changing her sentence midway, Yu Yan didn't let Jian Shen know that she was always peaking when he was bathing.
"Anyway, you look very beautiful right now."
"Really? I mean... Get out!"
"No way."
Turning around in surprise, Yu Yan looked at Jian Shen over her shoulder.
"What do you mean no way? And why are you coming closer!"
"If I leave right now, you'll see my precious jewels. And I don't want that."
"What are you saying?!! I'd never do something like that!!! Now leave!!! At least stop coming closer!!!"
Ignoring Yu Yan's request, Jian Shen continued walking closer until he was less than a foot away from her.
It was then, when Yu Yan felt that the day she feared, when Jian Shen would no longer hold back and force her as he pleased, had finally arrived, that Jian Shen stretched his arm.
Going around her, his hand didn't do anything as Yu Yan expected and like a pair of pincers grasped onto something less than a few inches away from her breasts.
It was a snake!
A multi coloured snake!
In that instant all of Yu Yan's blood froze from fear, because even someone like her knew that the more colourful a snake was, the more venomous it was.
Realizing that she once again looked down on someone like Jian Shen who saved her life so many times, and many times by placing his own life at stake, Yu Yan didn't know how to feel.
Once Jian Shen's hands held onto the snake's head, they were like a pair of metal pincers which wouldn't let go.
In the next instant, without giving the snake any time to struggle, Jian Shen directly squeezed its head and killed it in the spot.
Throwing the dead snake far away, Jian Shen began washing his hands clean of its blood, when he noticed that Yu Yan was still frozen in the same place.
"It's fine now, Yu Yan. The snake is dead."
As Jian Shen patted her on the shoulder, Yu Yan woke from her stupor and slapped Jian Shen's hand away.
"No! It's not fine! You keep helping me, and not only do I not know how to repay you... I even keep doubting you.... So tell me! Why do you keep on helping me!"
Sensing that Yu Yan was going to throw another tamper like the one before, Jian Shen who truly wasn't in a mood to go through such a thing again turned around and began walking away.
"Where... Where are you going!"
"Didn't you ask me to leave? I'm leaving."
Misinterpreting the leaving Jian Shen meant, to thinking that he was leaving forever, Yu Yan felt an indescribable sadness inside her.
Before she could even think, Yu Yan's body moved on its own and hugged Jian Shen from the back.
"Stop! Don't leave! Please don't leave me!"
"Umm... I was only going to leave the stream, but if you want me to stay... I don't mind staying like this."
Pressing her breasts onto Jian Shen's back, Yu Yan placed her head on his shoulder.
"You're too good for someone like me... "
"And?"
"And I hate myself for thinking bad of you when all you do is help me... "
"But?"
"But... I still want to be with you!"
"Then that's all that matters."
Saying so, Jian Shen turned around and took Yu Yan's lips by surprise.
