Chapter 801 Talking in Sleep
After putting away the treasure ship, the two landed on the first small island.
The island wasn't large. Although his divine sense was suppressed, the fog wasn't thick, and his pupil technique could be used normally. Zhao Mu estimated that it was at most a few dozen miles in circumference. Compared to the islands he had visited before, this was no different from a reef.
The vegetation on it was lush, but strangely, there was no sign of any living creatures.
"what happened?"
Seeing Zhao Mu frown, Yu Ying turned her head and asked a question.
"It's a bit strange that there isn't a single living creature on this island."
"you mean....."
"Hmm, there's a high probability that there are monsters similar to Nightmare Ghost Willow here. This place is probably a hunting ground."
As soon as they landed on the island, Zhao Mu cautiously led Yu Ying away, not daring to take any risks.
"Eighty percent yes."
After stepping out, Yu Ying solemnly agreed with Zhao Mu.
The ancient formations on the outer perimeter of the core area have long since been destroyed. This place can be said to be a paradise for many monsters in Canglan Marsh. How could there not be a single monster here?
It's not like the depths of the core area, where remnants of ancient formations are everywhere, and one wrong move could cost you your life, making most creatures afraid to approach.
"How to go?"
After coming out, Zhao Mu turned his gaze to Yu Ying. Since she had come for the Yin-Yang Spirit Spring, she must know a lot about this area. Giving her the right to guide the way was the wisest choice.
"Go southeast and find an island with a central peak that soars straight into the sky. Its shape is like a finger. That is where my Yu family ancestor accidentally entered the Yin-Yang Spirit Spring."
"it is good!"
Zhao Mu nodded, and the two immediately headed southeast.
They concealed their auras and slowed their movements considerably, because the two realized that the danger level of this place was exceptionally high. They had only traveled less than 300 miles and had already encountered two seventh-tier demonic beasts, indicating an unusually high density of them.
In addition, far more people entered this area than expected.
In less than an hour, Zhao Mu had already discovered no fewer than five groups of people, totaling more than one hundred.
After three days of travel, the two stopped to rest on a relatively lively island.
Of course, the liveliness wasn't due to the large number of people, but rather because the island was teeming with life. Under the protection of a seventh-tier ancient locust tree, it resembled a small paradise for monsters and spiritual plants.
Zhao Mu and Yu Ying naturally dared not trespass, but rested on the outer edge of the island.
The strength of that seventh-tier ancient locust tree was unfathomable, definitely no less than the Nightmare Ghost Willow we encountered before. However, compared to that evil thing, this seventh-tier ancient locust tree was clearly not aggressive.
There are so many people here.
“That’s normal. Each of the ancient herb gardens in the Langhuan Secret Realm will attract a lot of people. I estimate that at least 30% of the people who have fallen into Canglan Marsh and the surrounding area have come to this core herb garden right now.”
Where are the Yu family members?
"Let's not contact each other for now."
Yu Ying shook her head slightly, looked into Zhao Mu's eyes, and said very seriously, "With our strength, we can easily explore the Langhuan Secret Realm together."
"Fine, whatever you say!"
Zhao Mu didn't insist too much. He could tell that this Fairy Yu didn't want to be separated from him at all, and her clingy nature from when they first met had resurfaced.
However, back then, all it took was a wicked thought to scare the other party into running away. Now, it's the complete opposite. If he dares to do that, he'll probably be the one getting pushed.
Women get aroused too quickly.
However, on the other hand, he almost saved Yu Ying twice, and the two had very close contact, especially the bite mark, which is probably already deeply imprinted in the latter's heart and cannot be erased at all.
Besides, they went through dangers together, and no men had ever approached Yu Ying, so it's not surprising that her heart was wide open.
He was the one with the headache, unsure how to get the other party to give up.
Yes, Yu Ying is unbelievably beautiful, and she's also a nice person.
However, because there were too many women in his family, Zhao Mu was not willing to develop feelings for her. He only had physical attraction to Yu Ying, and psychologically, he regarded her as a friend or a younger sister.
In fact, the psychological aspect has completely overwhelmed the physiological aspect.
"You should rest first!"
Yu Ying advised Zhao Mu, "These past few days, you've been on guard all around, constantly on edge. You need to relax for a while. I'll be here to protect you, so don't worry."
"it is good!"
Zhao Mu didn't make a fuss. The continuous mental tension had indeed made him quite tired. He leaned against the boulder, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes.
After a long while, seeing that Zhao Mu was relaxed, Yu Ying slowly moved to his side and carefully examined him in the moonlight. After a moment, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"He is indeed a very handsome young man."
Yu Ying rested her chin on her hands, gazing intently, her mind replaying everything that had happened after being affected by the nightmare's energy, especially the clear teeth marks. Zhao Mu had thought she mistook him for a chicken leg, but in reality...
Just thinking about that scene makes Yu Ying's cheeks burn.
After looking at it for a moment, Yu Ying looked away somewhat embarrassed, took out her sword, and gently wiped it, seemingly doing something else entirely.
About half an hour later, Yu Ying suddenly noticed that Zhao Mu's body moved as if he was about to fall. She immediately went forward to help him up, but as soon as she caught him, Zhao Mu forcefully pulled her to the ground.
His two hands were moving around very inappropriately on her waist and even her chest.
"You...you...you...you..."
Yu Ying's face flushed red, and she almost lost her temper because Zhao Mu's behavior made her feel like she was being pricked by needles all over her body, which was really too uncomfortable.
But then, in the next instant, he suddenly heard Zhao Mu talking in his sleep.
"Silly senior sister, why does it feel different? It seems a little small... I want a lap pillow..."
???
A little small?
Yu Ying was so angry she wanted to curse. What did it mean that you took advantage of me and then complained about me?
but......
A silly senior sister?
Is she his Daoist partner?
Yu Ying looked down and muttered to herself, somewhat puzzled, "It's clearly not small!"
Just as she was wondering, a head suddenly nuzzled against her leg and moved closer to her lower abdomen, twisting and turning. The movement was a bit... a bit childish, and also inexplicably cute.
puff~
Yu Ying couldn't help but laugh at Zhao Mu's appearance. She took out a recording stone to record everything, and after putting the stone away, she gently brushed the stray hairs stuck to Zhao Mu's cheek and murmured, "He really is a devoted guy, but he's also quite infuriating. He's clearly holding me and taking advantage of me, yet he's thinking about other women. Humph~"
The evening breeze carried away Yu Ying's soft humming and Zhao Mu's murmured dreams.
The cool breeze gradually calmed Yu Ying's burning cheeks, and she looked down at Zhao Mu.
"Look how I treated you, and how you treated me, hmph~"
She felt a little angry when she thought about the scene where Zhao Mu tied her up in a very shameful position.
