Chapter 291 Hana Ayahana Taking a Bath
"Alright, alright, I understand, brother." Yun Chu'an nodded slightly, frowning. "This is enough. Don't worry, I'll contact that merchant as soon as I go out and try to get you a Foundation Establishment Pill within a week!"
Diao Desi immediately beamed with joy, and even pretended to be serious for a moment: "Haha, actually there's no need to be in such a hurry..."
Yun Chu'an was too lazy to say much to him. After exchanging a few polite words, he sent him away. He then turned around and went back into the cave, heading straight for the cave where the dragon prince of the Wei River was hiding.
Weihe Longzi seemed to have not slept all night. When he arrived, the man had already gotten up and was sitting on the bed leaning against the rock wall. However, his face was still pale, and he could even sense that the fluctuations in his spiritual energy were even weaker than the night before.
Seeing this, Yun Chu'an, who had just returned, couldn't help but frown repeatedly: "Your injury...did you take your medicine last night? Why does it seem to be even worse?"
Weihe Longzi curled up into a ball, hugging his knees and trembling slightly: "I took it. Your subordinates are very loyal, so don't blame them. But this medicine is just a drop in the bucket for me. I have damaged the foundation of my cultivation, and this little bit of medicine is really not enough to truly make up for it."
As he spoke, he raised his head, his lips pale and bloodless: "How did the escape go? My family has countless treasures. Once I get home, any injury can be healed and any loss can be made up."
Yun Chuan shook his head and said, "It's not optimistic. The snake demons have sealed off the area very tightly. Now that I have this token, I can go out, but only by myself. Those snake demons only recognize my face. If I rashly take you out, I'm afraid it will only alert them."
Thinking that he was trying to raise the price, the Dragon Prince of the Wei River hurriedly said, "My Dragon Palace has countless treasures. If you take me out, I will have my father give you unlimited cultivation resources, help you reach the Golden Core stage, and also give you a set of protective magic treasures so that you can face any enemy without fear of death from now on!"
Yun Chu'an was taken aback, realizing that he had misunderstood, and quickly said, "Prince Long, that's not what I meant, and I have no intention of raising the price. In fact, the longer we stay here, the more likely it is to cause unforeseen problems. I don't want to delay any longer, but the blockade outside is indeed very tight right now, and I really don't have any other options at the moment."
He really had no other choice; he couldn't just fight his way out. Admittedly, killing Qi Refining stage snake demons was as easy as killing chickens for him now, but the snake demons wouldn't just sit and wait to die. They would also send out signal flares. At that point, could he possibly escape with the wounded while facing the relentless pursuit of the snake demons?
Yun Chu'an thought it impossible; the risk was too great. He frowned, staring at the man before him: "Dragon Prince, how much longer can you hold out?"
Weihe Longzi gritted his teeth: "Don't worry about me, I'll figure something out myself."
This dragon had no choice but to hold on, and how could Yun Chu'an not see that?
His eyes flickered as he weighed his options, and after a moment, he nodded slightly: "I understand. I'll go think of a way."
The Dragon Prince of the Wei River looked at him with grateful eyes, but unfortunately, there was nothing he could do at that moment. Yun Chu'an turned and went out, holding the token in his hand. He used the Shrinking Earth Technique to walk around the mountain in a large circle and arrived at the pass that Diao Desi had told him about, where he showed his token.
The snake demon stationed here was a Qi Refining Level 9 fellow. When he saw him arrive, he immediately smiled broadly and personally escorted him out in a friendly manner.
At the end, he subtly inquired whether the snake demon had any extra Foundation Establishment Pills. Yun Chu'an then understood why Diao Desi had been able to grant him this favor, and immediately nodded, saying he could get them, but it might take a few weeks. This delighted the snake demon, who respectfully saw him off.
Yun Chu'an then used the Shrinking Earth technique to return to the Huai Mountain family in no time.
He originally intended to seek help from his fourth sister, but upon entering her cave, he couldn't find her. After a moment's thought, Yun Chu'an had a guess in his mind. He turned and headed towards the back of the mountain, to the place where he had once soaked in the icy pool.
A thin mist shrouded the place, and countless strangely shaped trees blocked the way, seemingly preventing him from passing. However, Yun Chu'an had already learned the incantation to unlock this path. He silently recited it twice, and instantly the withered trees blocking his way seemed to grow legs and spread out to both sides, revealing a straight road in the middle.
He stepped inside, and before he could even see the icy pool he used to train his control over spiritual power, Hua Caiyan's pleading voice reached his ears: "Oh dear, Fourth Sister, how long has it been? How much longer do I have to soak?"
"You've only been soaking for fifteen minutes, you need to keep going for forty-five minutes before you can rest."
"Huh? Really? I feel like I've been soaking for an hour already! Fourth Sister, is your watch running slow?"
"Stop talking nonsense. The more you talk, the more energy you waste, and the colder you'll get later."
……
Hua Caiyan and Zhu Yunqing's voices rang out one after another. When Yun Chuan walked over, he found that in the center of the open space in front of him, in the bottomless, bone-chilling pool, Hua Caiyan was soaking naked.
Her long, black hair was no longer tied in braids, but instead coiled on top of her head, exposing her smooth, rounded shoulders, which appeared even more delicate and smooth due to the cold.
Beneath the clear pool water, the girl's tender breasts seemed even smaller, and her nipples, frozen inwards, had shrunk into two small, round dots, which looked rather comical.
Yun Chu'an stared at her there, looking at her chest, feeling quite strange. Hua Caiyan noticed his aggressive gaze, but didn't say he couldn't look, only saying tremblingly, "Chu'an, when you were exercising, how long did you soak in the water each time? I don't think you soaked for that long."
Beside her, Zhu Yunqing sat on a round stone bench, leaning against a round stone table, reading a book. She was dressed as usual, and when she heard her speak, she didn't even look up and said, "Come on, he worked much harder than you back then. He would soak for at least four hours at a time, otherwise he wouldn't come out."
Hua Caiyan has now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and is preparing for Foundation Establishment. Zhu Yunqing, concerned about her cultivation, called the girl to this cold pool so that she could go down and train.
Of course, she herself was also there to supervise the whole process, so as to prevent the girl from slacking off or any accidents from happening.
Hua Caiyan's face fell as she looked at Yun Chu'an, only to see the latter smiling broadly, squatting down, and gently patting her head: "Come on, Caiyan, I believe you won't lose to me!"
Seeing that he not only didn't speak up for her and lighten her burden, but also gloated like this, the little fox gritted her teeth in anger: "Damn it, Yun Chu'an, you just wait!"
Yun Chu'an ignored her and turned to look at Zhu Yunqing. The latter, sensing something, put down her book, looked up at him, and asked, "Did you need something?"
Yun Chu'an nodded gently: "Yes, and this should be a rare opportunity for our family."
He then recounted the entire story of the Wei River Dragon Prince to her. Zhu Yunqing was astonished upon hearing this, her beautiful brows furrowing before she gritted her teeth: "You're really bold. You dare to take on such a thing and still dare to run towards the Ten Thousand Serpent Cave. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Yun Chu'an shook her head, her tone firm: "I'm not afraid, Fourth Sister. I've made ample preparations, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get through this safely until now."
"Anyway, Fourth Sister, is there anything the family can do to help him in this situation? At least keep him alive for now, and then we can slowly think of a way to rescue him and send him home."
Chapter 292 "Warming the Meridians and Nourishing the Blood"
Yun Chu'an was full of hope, but Zhu Yunqing shook his head slightly: "I really can't do anything about this. I'm not a professional alchemist, so I don't know what medicine to use for his condition."
She frowned, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "If you ask me, Chu'an, it's best if you don't get involved in this matter. You're not lacking in intelligence, and our family has no shortage of ways to make money. Just continue to follow the established path. Why always wade into such deadly murky waters?"
Yun Chuanxin said that she didn't want to either, but You Wensi's threat was still hanging over her head, and she had to increase her own trump cards.
Looking into Zhu Yunqing's eyes, he said sincerely, "Fourth Sister, as the saying goes, 'A man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot get fat without night grass.' Although you always say you have time, are we going to waste our precious youth on such tedious and busy things?"
“I don’t want it to be like this. I want it to be faster so that my family can enjoy better spiritual resources.”
His resolute expression moved Zhu Yunqing. Even though her cultivation was higher than his, she felt she couldn't sway him at all, and had no way to change his will.
She felt her heart gradually melting, and at that moment, Hua Caiyan's voice suddenly rang out from the pool: "Fourth Sister, listen to him, don't worry, he's got plenty of tricks up his sleeve!"
Zhu Yunqing turned her head and glared at the little fox: "You focus on your training and don't interrupt what's going on here!"
Hua Caiyan, who was just about to take a break, quickly retreated back into the pool, shivering as she continued to control her body temperature. Zhu Yunqing turned her head, still frowning, unable to think of a good solution for the moment.
Instead, Yun Chuan pondered for a while, and a bold idea popped into his mind: "Caiyan, do you still have that kind of mask? I have another plan, but I need another mask."
In the pool, Hua Caiyan paused slightly: "A mask... I don't have one on hand. I remember Fourth Sister made one to play with before?"
Yun Chu'an turned to look at Zhu Yunqing, who nodded slightly: "I do have another one. When Caiyan gave me her technique, I took the opportunity to create one myself according to what was written on it to try it out."
"What, do you have a plan?"
Yun Chu'an nodded: "I think we can use reverse thinking again. The most dangerous place may very well be the safest place."
He explained his idea in detail, and after listening, the spider demon's eyes widened in disbelief: "You are truly audacious..."
In the pool, Hua Caiyan chuckled softly: "Look, Fourth Sister, I told you, his head is full of these kinds of wicked ideas. In just a short while, he's come up with another one."
Zhu Yunqing nodded gently: "If you'd like, wait here for me for a while. I'll go back and look for it, and bring it to you right away."
As she spoke, she stood up, turned around, and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. She turned back and sternly instructed, "Keep an eye on her, don't let her slack off again!"
Yun Chu'an nodded, and Hua Caiyan hurriedly replied, "I know, Fourth Sister, don't worry, I definitely won't slack off!"
Zhu Yunqing then turned and left. Once she was out of sight, the little fox immediately changed her tune towards Yun Chuan: "Chuan, save me! Quickly pull me out of the water, my hands and feet are completely frozen!"
Yun Chu'an squatted down in front of her, smiling as he looked at her: "Oh dear, I wouldn't dare. If Fourth Sister catches me, I'll be in deep trouble!"
The little fox pleaded pitifully, "Oh dear, I won't rest for too long, just a little while, just a little while, she won't notice!"
"Chu'an, please pull me out of the water. I'll do anything for you..."
She pleaded, her tone becoming increasingly seductive towards the end. Yun Chu'an recalled the hardships he had endured while training and cultivating in that environment, and looking at the little fox's pitiful state, he couldn't help but soften. He nodded, "Alright, just a short rest. No more haggling later, understand?"
Hua Caiyan was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, I understand!"
Yun Chu'an immediately stretched out his arms, slipped them under the girl's armpits, and lifted her up completely. The icy pool could no longer affect him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. With the clear, splashing sound of the water, the girl's naked body was fully revealed before his eyes.
Her delicate and tender skin was as white and flawless as warm jade. Although it was frozen and had lost its color, and was icy to the touch, the skin became cool and smooth due to contraction, making it feel even more exquisite to the touch.
Her breasts stood erect on her chest, not particularly large. At the top, in the center of a pink areola, the rosy nipples were also shrunken into small balls due to the cold. Just by looking at them, one could almost feel their hard texture, which aroused Yun Chu'an's playful desire, and he couldn't wait to touch and fondle them.
Below her breasts, water droplets clung to her flat stomach, and her round navel was damp on both sides, inviting caresses. Further down, between her two round but delicate thighs, sparse black hair was wet and clinging to her mons pubis, shyly concealing her last private area, leaving her pink lips barely visible, as if she didn't want him to see them.
Even though he had seen Hua Caiyan's naked body countless times, every time he saw it now, he couldn't help but admire her beautiful body, which aroused his lust.
He wasn't in a hurry. He methodically took out a huge blanket from his storage bag, spread it on the grass further away, then picked up the girl in a princess carry, put her down a distance away, and then covered her delicate body with his hot hands, gently stroking her cold body.
Or, to use a more elegant term, it is "warming the meridians and nourishing the collaterals".
His hot, rough hands, imbued with a gentle spiritual energy, slowly moved down from her smooth, rounded shoulders, first caressing her delicate, soft upper arms, then converging together to cover her full breasts.
His rough fingers were now inside her delicate, soft, and elastic breasts, gently kneading them back and forth. At the same time, he could clearly feel the slightly hardened nipples pressed against his palm, giving him a very noticeable sensation.
Of course, while he was touching her quite roughly, he didn't slack off with his spiritual power for a moment. He silently chanted incantations, continuously injecting his warm spiritual power into the little fox's body, gradually warming her frozen body and restoring sensation to her numb body.
As her breasts were being fondled, Hua Caiyan gradually began to feel something. Feeling his large hands kneading her breasts, the skillful touch bringing a wonderful sensation, she couldn't help but open her mouth and breathe softly.
But then, blushing, she raised her fist and lightly punched him, muttering, "You lecher, what have you been doing!"
Yun Chu'an grinned mischievously, "Helping you restore your body temperature, huh? What, you don't want to? Then I'll throw you back into that icy pool?"
Hua Caiyan blushed, but she was actually quite enjoying it: "No, I want to rest a little longer. Also, don't just focus on the top, it's still cold down there."
She was getting aroused and whispered a reminder. Yun Chu'an suppressed a laugh and continued with a mischievous grin, "Oh? Down there? Wow, Fifth Sister, does your lower area really need my big hands to warm it up right now?"
The little fox blushed even more. She knew very well that this man was deliberately teasing her and trying to make her blush. With her face red and trying to suppress her embarrassment, she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Yes, yes, I'm freezing! Hurry up and get your hands on me."
Chapter 293 Pervert! A lecher!
Yun Chuan'an's large hand moved downwards, his rough fingers caressing her slender and soft waist. He couldn't resist touching the delicate flesh there, gently stroking and kneading it, making Hua Caiyan feel a little itchy and unable to stop giggling.
His large hand covered her lower abdomen again, channeling spiritual energy into her there. Soon, she felt her entire abdomen warm, which in turn warmed her whole body, gradually relaxing her skin that had been tense due to the cold, making it warm and soft.
His large hand continued downwards, moving to her back and grabbing her little bottom. Then he spread her thighs apart, and his rough fingertips found her clitoris between her legs.
But just as he reached out to pet it, the little fox shrieked, "What are you doing? Ouch!"
Yun Chu'an asked, puzzled, "You let me touch you, so what?"
Hua Caiyan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief: "What I meant was that my feet are frozen stiff and my toes are cramping, and I wanted you to massage them for me. I never expected that Chu'an would think of something like this!"
"Wow, what's going on in your head all day?! Waaaaah, you pervert, I've only just realized what you're really like today! Pervert! Pervert! Shameless! Shameless!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, she unleashed a torrent of curses, her heart filled with smug satisfaction as she cursed. A triumphant look appeared on her face, as if she had finally caught Yun Chuan's weakness and was about to give him a good beating.
Yun Chu'an suppressed a laugh, not angry at all at being scolded like that. With a mischievous smile, she reached out and lifted one of her legs: "I know your foot hurts, but you know my habit, I never like to rub my feet with my hands."
As he spoke, he lifted one of her little feet to his mouth. Her toes were as round and cute as pearls, and the soft, white flesh of her soles was now frozen white, like chilled glutinous rice cakes, emitting a cold air and a faint aroma of meat.
Without hesitation, he opened his mouth slightly and gently bit down on the little foot.
"Well--"
His teeth gently bit into the soft flesh of her tender foot, and with each gentle chew, he savored the soft, chewy texture. Hua Caiyan felt a slight, dull pain accompanied by a slight tingling sensation emanating from her foot, making her blush and instinctively want to pull her foot back: "What are you doing? Why are you eating my foot...?"
Yun Chu'an sucked on her pearl-like toes, replying indistinctly, "Because I like them. These feet taste good, that's why I'm doing this. What, otherwise, where do you think I should eat?"
He threw the question back at her, and the girl's cheeks flushed even more. She was in the middle of arousal, and this question immediately led her to think in a more lewd direction: Where should Yun Chu'an bury his face, and what should he eat, as usual?
That, of course, means burying myself between her legs and kissing and licking her vulva.
The more she thought about it, the more nervous and embarrassed she became. Her cheeks burned, and she muttered under her breath, "Pervert..."
Yun Chu'an smiled shamelessly: "Thank you for the compliment."
As he spoke, his large hands did not stop, roaming up and down her two snow-white legs, caressing and tenderizing them thoroughly.
Hua Caiyan gradually regained her strength, climbed up and snuggled into his arms, hugging him tightly, cuddling each other, and letting his large hands caress her freely.
After playing like this for a while, even though she wanted to go further, Yun Chu'an reluctantly pushed her away and whispered, "You should go back now. Fourth Sister will most likely be back soon."
Hua Caiyan knew that if they were caught, they would both be in deep trouble. Reluctantly, she shrank back into the pool and continued to soak and cultivate, shivering.
Yun Chu'an did nothing else but sit by the pool, chat with her, share his previous experiences and insights, and help her through the difficulties—of course, the most important thing was still for her to make up her mind to practice hard in there.
Time ticked by, and more than ten minutes passed before Zhu Yunqing finally returned. Yun Chu'an had already cleaned everything up, so the girl naturally didn't notice anything amiss: "Caiyan didn't slack off, did she?"
Yun Chu'an quickly shook his head: "No, no, I kept a close eye on things the whole time and didn't let Fifth Sister slack off for even a moment!"
Hua Caiyan, whose head was the only part of her body visible in the pool, quickly replied, "No, Fourth Sister, I'm already very content just chatting with him like this."
Zhu Yunqing was too lazy to care about such a trivial matter. She reached out and handed the mask to him, but her face was still full of worry: "You should prioritize your own safety. Don't be reckless. If things are exposed, you should come out first. Whether Weihe Longzi lives or dies is none of our business. Whether he lives or dies, the family will live the same way."
Yun Chu'an took the mask and nodded gently: "Yes, I understand, Fourth Sister!"
He chatted with her for a while longer, and Zhu Yunqing didn't hold back, telling him about the shelter she had recently built and instructing him that if he was lucky enough to bring the Weihe Dragon Prince out, he could hide there temporarily and wait for her and Ye Jinglan to come and meet him.
Yun Chuan nodded and agreed to each suggestion, and the plan began to take shape.
Throughout the entire process, neither of them mentioned You Wensi's name, nor did they expect this nominal head of the family to provide them with any help—Zhu Yunqing had completely lost heart towards her, and Yun Chuan had even regarded her as his greatest enemy at this stage on his path of cultivation!
After discussing some details with her, he finally turned and left. Zhu Yunqing stayed behind, reading a book while supervising Hua Caiyan's cultivation, and prepared to rescue her at any time.
Meanwhile, Yun Chuan used the shrinking technique to travel across several mountain peaks and return to the field mouse family's burrow.
The Dragon Prince of the Wei River is still here. His injuries have healed somewhat, and he can now walk steadily on the ground. However, his spiritual energy fluctuations are weaker, and his cultivation is still constantly being lost.
