Xiao Yan returned to the cave, carrying a huge wild boar.
Yao Chen said that the single ancient ruler's burden effect on his fighting qi suppression had weakened, and the weight needed to be increased, so he forbade Xiao Yan from using his space ring and made him carry back the prey he hunted.
Yun Yun was sitting on a rock, resting her chin in her hands, boredly looking at the rock wall above her head.
Seeing Xiao Yan return, she immediately went to greet him, saying with some joy, "You're back!"
Today's group of crows startled her, and if it was crows this time, what if an Ape came next time?
Unconsciously, she had developed a sense of reliance on this handsome young man in front of her; she only felt safe when he returned to the cave.
"I'm back!" Xiao Yan showed a hearty smile.
Yun Yun suddenly realized that she looked a bit like a wife welcoming her husband back from hunting, and she couldn't help but stop, a blush spreading across her face.
Yun Yun, oh Yun Yun, what exactly are you thinking? Her heart pounded like a startled deer, rising and falling erratically.
She took a deep breath, trying to adjust her mindset.
"What's wrong with you? Did your injury act up again?" Xiao Yan asked with concern, seeing Yun Yun's unusual demeanor.
Yun Yun's carefully adjusted mindset immediately shattered again.
"Ai ai... Youth is truly wonderful. Hehehe..." From within the bone flame ring, Yao Chen's soul form let out a sinister laugh.
Yao Chen himself was somewhat disrespectful of his elders, and Ape Lord Amon's Parasite, though not fully controlling him, brought subtle, imperceptible influences, expanding this aspect of his personality.
The weight training was just an excuse; he deliberately created such a scene for Xiao Yan.
Just then, a wolf howl suddenly echoed from outside the cave, accompanied by fluctuations of fighting qi.
Clearly, the coming magical beast was very strong, at least not something a small Fighter like Xiao Yan could contend with.
Both of their expressions changed.
Xiao Yan frowned and whispered, "How could this be? I clearly applied a powder to cover my scent."
At this, Yun Yun lowered her head, like a little girl who had made a mistake, and stammered, "I'm sorry, I went out for a bath today."
Xiao Yan said to her with dissatisfaction, "Idiot, don't you know that all the magical beasts on the mountain are looking for you now? Some magical beasts are very sensitive to scent.
"Especially at this time, once they smell a human, they will definitely come to investigate. Sigh, foolish woman, you've really gotten me killed..."
Yun Yun held a high position and had not been spoken to like that for a long time; being reprimanded by a big boy like this made her feel a bit annoyed.
Her inner pride also wouldn't allow her to escape, so she immediately retorted, "I'll go lure it away. One person's actions, one person's responsibility. Don't worry, I won't implicate you."
She knew that given her current situation, doing so was no different from seeking death, but one person dying was better than two people dying together. She didn't think this small Fighter beside her could contend with the powerful magical beast that was about to arrive.
"What more trouble are you causing? I'll go lure it away, you stay here." Xiao Yan grabbed her shoulder and roared in an unquestionable tone.
With that, he immediately rushed out.
Yun Yun felt an emptiness in her heart, as if she was about to lose something important; this feeling made her helpless and bewildered.
If, because of her mistake, this big boy who saved her, cared for her, and looked after her sacrificed himself, she would never forgive herself for a lifetime.
"Yao Yan..." Mutting the fake name Xiao Yan had given her, Yun Yun was incredibly worried.
"Come on, you big stupid dog, I'm here!" The young man's roar came.
The wolf howl, which had been continuously approaching, gradually moved away, and Yun Yun's panic intensified.
One minute passed, two minutes passed, an hour passed... Yao Yan never returned.
Yun Yun was so anxious that she was almost in tears...
"Damn magical beasts, wolves, right? If anything happens to Yao Yan, I will slaughter your entire clan!" Yun Yun thought fiercely.
Half a day later, some strange footsteps sounded. Yun Yun's heart tightened. This sound, seemingly human yet not, chaotic and irregular, made her involuntarily think of the Ape, a magical beast that left a huge shadow in her heart.
Holding the small knife she usually used for meals, she was ready to end her own life at any moment.
It wasn't an Ape that entered, but Xiao Yan. He was covered in blood, stumbling as he walked, which was why his steps sounded somewhat strange.
The magical beast that attacked Xiao Yan had been very precise, controlling his injuries just right.
As soon as Xiao Yan entered the cave, he fell forward headfirst.
Yun Yun quickly went to catch him, but in her distracted state, she forgot she was still holding the knife.
The short knife instantly plunged into Xiao Yan's chest.
"Holy crap!"
The Amons, who were enjoying the show by Parasitizing on the Worms of Spirit on the microorganisms in the cave air, were dumbfounded.
Ape Lord, making a motion of pinching his glasses, flinched and crushed his monocle.
Yun Yun was even more stunned, standing there blankly and at a loss.
"Damn you, are you trying to murder me?!" Xiao Yan was startled awake by the pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yun Yun quickly pulled out the short knife.
As the short knife was pulled out, a stream of blood immediately shot out from the wound.
"You..." Xiao Yan fainted again.
Yao Chen: "..."
Little Amethyst Winged Lion King: "..."
Ape Lord: "..."
"He won't die, will he?" Little Amethyst Winged Lion King muttered, "The main body will kill us."
Stunned by the clumsy Yun Yun, Ape Lord Amon finally couldn't sit still and jumped down from the cliff, entering the cave.
Even if there were no benefits, seeking some fun did not mean that the avatars would disregard the interests of "Amon."
Seeing Ape Lord Amon enter the cave, Yun Yun's eyes widened, and a hint of despair involuntarily surfaced in her heart.
She wanted to commit suicide, but then she thought that if she ended her own life now, then Yao Yan would also be doomed, and she hesitated for a moment.
Yun Yun gritted her teeth and decided that even if she had to endure humiliation, she would give Xiao Yan a simple treatment and then lure the Ape away from the cave.
Yun Yun shielded Xiao Yan with her body, turning her back to Ape Lord Amon, took out the healing medicine Xiao Yan had prepared for her, and hastily stuffed it into his mouth.
Then she hurriedly sprinkled powders for clotting blood and treating external wounds on the claw marks and knife wound on his chest.
Afterward, she placed Xiao Yan on the ground and walked towards Ape Lord Amon at the cave entrance with a look of determination.
Worried that Ape Lord Amon would harm Xiao Yan, Yun Yun endured the shame and tore open her robe, revealing a large expanse of fair skin.
Her body trembled, grieving for her impending misfortune, and secretly praying that Xiao Yan would escape this calamity and live well.
To her surprise, Ape Lord Amon didn't even look at her. He quickly walked to Xiao Yan, skillfully gave Xiao Yan more effective treatment, bandaged him well, and even tied a beautiful bow at the end.
A sentence suddenly popped into Yun Yun's mind:
"Even an Ape isn't interested in you."
