"Ah? Oh..."
Shen Yan was taken aback, and the next mont her face flushed slightly. She didn’t know why, but every ti Chen Tianlong touched her, she felt a mysterious current that she couldn’t resist—making her face heat up and her heart race.
Chen Tianlong turned around, focused on climbing the mountain, without seeing her expression, allowing Shen Yan to breathe a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, she would have died of embarrassnt. Thinking back to last night when she slept together with Chen Tianlong, she gradually realized sothing was amiss. Her mind was so muddled back then, sohow ending up in the sa bed with Chen Tianlong.
However, fortunately, Chen Tianlong was quite the gentleman. Aside from a little flirtation in the morning, he didn’t make any significant moves otherwise.
The two continued upward, walking for about a hundred or two hundred ters, when Chen Tianlong suddenly let go of Shen Yan’s hand and walked towards a nearby patch of flowers.
"Chen Tianlong, wait for ! You didn’t even say a word before letting go," Shen Yan complained, but then she was stunned, as what appeared before them was a sea of flowers in full bloom.
How is this possible? In the middle of winter, to witness such a remarkable scene was quite a shock.
"Hmm, co over. Anxin Grass grows around here, though it prefers subtropical climates and warr places. In sumr you might find it here, but it’s winter now; even though the temperature feels okay, there is a difference compared to sumr," Chen Tianlong explained.
"Oh, I see. So, Anxin Grass might not be outside anymore; it likely grows in warr areas, right?" Shen Yan smiled, her eyes twinkling as she spoke.
"Shen Yan, you’re smart. So we need to find a warr spot nearby to possibly find Anxin Grass; otherwise, Old Chen will suffer,"
At this point, Chen Tianlong’s face turned somber, feeling a bit sad. Old Chen was, so far, his only family in this world, and her health condition was truly worriso.
Shaking his head, Chen Tianlong continued walking forward, saying, "Shen Yan, let’s head inside. The air outside is too chilly; there shouldn’t be Anxin Grass."
"Okay."
Shen Yan didn’t ask further and simply followed Chen Tianlong deeper into the mountain.
To be honest, she didn’t know what Anxin Grass looked like; she was blindly following Chen Tianlong. Anyway, she was here just for fun, so finding it or not didn’t matter.
After walking for a while, they hadn’t found Anxin Grass, making Chen Tianlong a bit frustrated.
However, the warst place at Sumr Resort Mountain during winter is this area, thanks to a hot spring. Since it’s a hot spring, it must be warm nearby.
"Wow, it’s beautiful! There’s a hot spring ahead," Shen Yan exclaid in amazent for the second ti, looking at the steaming hot spring, she hurriedly walked over.
Chen Tianlong used to frequently co here for bathing, especially during winter.
Seeing this familiar place, Chen Tianlong felt lancholic about the changes, causing a sense of loneliness.
"Chen Tianlong, what are you thinking? Hurry up and see if there’s Anxin Grass—Old Chen is still critically ill at ho," Shen Yan urgently reminded him when she saw him zoning out.
"Oh, got it."
Being called by Shen Yan snapped Chen Tianlong out of his daze, and he continued towards the source of the hot spring.
He used to play here often but never thought of where the source was, just indulging in play. Now, examining the hot spring’s source, Chen Tianlong suddenly discovered a small depression not far ahead.
There seed to be a cave on the depression. Curious, Chen Tianlong quickly walked over, with Shen Yan following closely.
The cave entrance was more than three ters high, and Chen Tianlong checked it out, saying to the ready Shen Yan, "Shen Yan, co over. I’ll take you up."
"Ah? How do we go up? It’s so high."
Shen Yan deliberately asked, trying to act surprised, or she would reveal her act to Chen Tianlong.
"Hehe, you’ll know when you co over," Chen Tianlong said with a mysterious smile.
"Okay."
Shen Yan was a bit skeptical, wondering if Chen Tianlong would directly hold her and jump up.
This would require enormous strength. Could he really do it?
"Don’t move,"
Chen Tianlong instructed Shen Yan, then slowly bent down, suddenly placing one hand on Shen Yan’s calf and the other above her waist, then exerted force, lifting Shen Yan in a princess carry.
"Ah?"
Shen Yan was startled, almost screaming.
But seeing Chen Tianlong holding her, she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, sweetly smiling, "Just don’t drop , that’s all."
"Hehe, don’t worry. This height is nothing to ," Chen Tianlong stabilized his steps, began squatting, then suddenly thrust upward, leaping over three ters high.
Standing at the cave entrance, a warm flow enveloped them, and Chen Tianlong smiled satisfied; this was exactly the effect he was seeking.
"Wow... it’s so warm here, like there’s air conditioning," Shen Yan marveled.
"Haha, indeed. If my guess is correct, this should be the hot spring’s source. See, that creek is still steaming; it must flow from inside," Chen Tianlong pointed at the nearby creek.
"Wow, seems like it! Let’s hurry inside and check," Shen Yan eagerly said, climbing down from Chen Tianlong and starting to walk into the cave.
It was still morning, so there was adequate light, and the cave was quite bright naturally.
As Chen Tianlong entered, he suddenly noticed a creek ahead, but the water was erald green, clearly deep. The creek wasn’t wide but spanned four or five ters across.
If it were before, this width would pose so difficulty. Especially since they needed to jump while holding Shen Yan; the deep water could cause problems if anything went wrong.
But now it’s different. Chen Tianlong was an Ancient Martial Cultivator, and this distance posed no pressure for him.
Turning back, Chen Tianlong said, "Shen Yan, co up. We’ll jump across; the source should be inside, and Anxin Grass must be growing nearby; let’s go find it."
"Mm."
Shen Yan walked over, deftly leaping as Chen Tianlong caught her.
"Hehe, not bad teamwork," Chen Tianlong chuckled.
"Of course, I’m your best partner," Shen Yan replied confidently.
Without further ado, Chen Tianlong took a leap towards the opposite side. For soone with Yellow Dao Four-Star strength, this four or five ters was effortless for Chen Tianlong.
"Alright, co down now," After crossing the creek, Chen Tianlong said to Shen Yan whom he was holding.
"Mm."
Knowing Chen Tianlong was serious, Shen Yan didn’t want to delay and climbed down, starting to walk deeper together.
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong stopped and spoke to Shen Yan, "Shen Yan, hold on a mont; I think I’ve figured sothing out."
"Ah? Figured out what?"
