The two slowly awakened, their lower bodies still intimately joined, the air filled with a decadent scent that made Su Yan blush with shame.
She couldn't help but nestle closer to Yang Kai's chest. The moment she moved, she let out a soft gasp, her gaze meeting his eyes with a mixture of fear and anticipation.
She felt the thing inside her body harden once more, like a red-hot brand, scalding her into shuddering. Even the slightest movement sent overwhelming waves of sensation through her.
"Yang..." Just as before, she only managed a single syllable before her voice was swallowed by self-forgetting moans. The tidal waves of pleasure crashing over her made it impossible to form a complete sentence, leaving only breathy whimpers.
They gave and took to their hearts' content, two streams merging into one, indistinguishable.
…………
She didn't know how many times they had woken and dozed off again. Su Yan's body trembled uncontrollably in small waves, her snow-white skin flushed with a captivating glow. Between her slender legs, a wet, slick mess had formed.
"Yang Kai." She bit her crimson lower lip, staring up at the ceiling of the Ice Cave, her beautiful eyes hazy, and said weakly, like a dying fish, "Spare me, I... I can't take it anymore."
Even now, she still felt as if she were floating on clouds, a sensation that both captivated and terrified her. She was utterly powerless to resist Yang Kai's demands. Even though her mind knew they should stop, her body reacted instinctively, meeting him with fierce enthusiasm.
She both feared and loved this man's assault.
"Then let's stop here for now," Yang Kai grinned. "We can continue our battle another day."
Only then did Su Yan slowly sit up, enduring the soreness in her waist, and shot him a reproachful look. "It's all your fault, only thinking about... we haven't even practiced our cultivation yet."
Yang Kai chuckled sheepishly.
Their Yin-Yang Harmony technique had already progressed to the second stage, allowing them to dual cultivate without physical union, but Yang Kai had chosen the most primal, most savage way to claim the woman before him, without a single thought about cultivation practice.
"It's probably too late to practice now. We'll talk about it when we get back," Yang Kai shook his head. "It seems we've been here for over two days. The martial uncles are probably getting anxious."
"Mm," Su Yan's face instantly flushed crimson. A man and a woman alone together for two days—even a fool could guess what might have happened. Even with Su Yan's calm nature, she couldn't help but feel a wave of shame that would make it hard to face anyone again.
She rose gracefully, walked aside to gather their scattered clothes, and like a devoted wife, helped Yang Kai dress.
Yang Kai sat on the ice bed, motionless, letting Su Yan tend to him, the smile never leaving his face.
"You're about to break through to the Shenyou Realm, aren't you?" Su Yan felt uncomfortable under his gaze and sought to change the subject.
"Almost. Just a little more," Yang Kai nodded, his gaze intense on Su Yan. He looked surprised. "But you're already at the third stage of the Shenyou Realm. It seems I still need to work harder to catch up with you."
"Thanks to those medicinal liquids you gave me," Su Yan said with a slight nod. "They can truly cleanse the meridians and marrow. My cultivation speed is much faster than before now. And here, the environment is also very suitable for my training."
Over a year ago, when they had parted, she was still at the peak of the Zhenyuan Realm, just a step away from the Shenyou Realm, much like Yang Kai now. But seeing her again, she had already reached the third stage of the Shenyou Realm. Such cultivation speed was almost inconceivable, as a martial artist's progress typically slowed considerably after entering the Shenyou Realm.
"Even the best external aids are useless without a solid foundation. In the end, your natural talent is outstanding," Yang Kai said, reaching out to caress Su Yan's cheek. He then suddenly buried his face between her ample breasts, inhaling deeply, as if trying to commit her captivating scent to his memory forever.
Su Yan smiled tenderly, embracing him peacefully.
A good while later, Yang Kai straightened up, glanced down at his lower body, and said with a helpless expression, "I think I'm... again..."
"Ah!" Su Yan exclaimed in alarm.
Yang Kai's expression suddenly turned resolute. "They've already waited over two days, what's a little longer!"
With that, he pulled Su Yan into his embrace.
An hour later, Yang Kai looked on with satisfaction as Su Yan hastily dressed herself before helping him tidy up his attire. After learning her lesson once, how could she dare let her body be exposed to him again? If she let this man continue as he pleased, they might not leave this Ice Cave for half a month.
Once both were fully dressed, Su Yan cast a lingering look back at the Ice Cave.
Once they left, who knew when she would have a chance to return. This place was perfect for her cultivation, gathering cold energy with remarkable speed. For a martial artist to find a location that suited their training so well was no easy feat.
"What do you want to take with you?" Yang Kai saw her reluctance and asked.
Su Yan shook her head, a hint of regret in her voice. "It can't be taken. Maybe I'll have another chance to come back."
"I can take it," Yang Kai said, the corner of his mouth quirking up.
Su Yan shot him a glance and laughed softly. "Can you take this ice bed with you too?"
Yang Kai nodded, his expression serious.
"There's no need. This seems to be Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ice. I tried, it won't budge. Even if you could move it, you couldn't take it anywhere else. The small bag you gave me before wouldn't be able to hold it anyway."
Su Yin did have a Cosmos Bag. Originally, it was given to Yang Kai by Ling Taixu, but after opening the Black Book's space, Yang Kai had passed it on to Su Yan.
