Chapter 21 - Mu Yao Discussing the Agreement

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

‘He’s crazy! How could he skip right to the final step of the Hehuan Swordsmanship technique?’

That meant sleeping together! That was also why Mu Yao had refused to practice the Hehuan Swordsmanship techniques with the man in the first place.

Just like the name suggested, the techniques required two people working in harmony. Mu Yao had been against doing this with a man she had never met before from the beginning.

If not for the fact that she had no other choice, there was no way she would give up her virginity for a chance to leave.

She had been forced to make such an alliance with the man.

If they couldn’t find the exit in either mystical realm, Mu Yao would have to practice the techniques with the man.

Mu Yao wasn’t unreasonable. However, two things remained unclear.

Firstly, what was with the man’s resistance force? If he had such power, couldn’t he try to break open the cave?

Secondly, they could just go through with whatever they had to do. What was the point of doing so many unnecessary things?

Just like now, the man was trying to bend down to touch Mu Yao’s lips. That was something Mu Yao would never accept! However, she stood no chance of breaking free from the man.

“Wake up!” she shouted at him.

The man’s breath gradually got closer. “I’m very sober.”

Mu Yao couldn’t help but admit to her fate. Anyway, she would forget about these things after leaving this cave. She hoped that there wouldn’t be a need for her to ever meet Xiaohuo again. Then, she would simply treat this as a dream.

Just as the man was about to touch Mu Yao’s cherry-like lips…

The man fell to the ground with a loud bang. He slumped against Mu Yao’s shoulder and stopped moving.

Mu Yao was stunned again.

‘What’s going on? Is he pretending to be dead again? But there’s no need to pretend to be dead now.’

“Hey, get up!” Mu Yao tried to shake him awake.

Because the man was unable to support himself, all his weight was on Mu Yao and she couldn’t help but feel like she was about to suffocate.

‘He’s so heavy! What did this man eat while growing up? However, his height and muscles are indeed…’

Just as Mu Yao was wondering about that, she heard snores coming from beside her. The rising and falling snores were coming from the man who had been so smug just moments earlier!

Mu Yao shoved him aside. She then looked down at the man who was sound asleep. She held her forehead with one hand and shook her head.

This was the one thing that had rendered her the most speechless since her reincarnation!

…

When the man opened his eyes again, he discovered that he wasn’t lying in the same place he had just been, but in the open space in front of the drawing of the Hehuan Swordsmanship techniques.

There was also a thin green veil covering his body. It was the woman’s clothes.

Then, he heard the woman’s slightly anxious yet cold voice. “You’re awake?”

The man propped himself up with both hands.

Hiss!

He felt extremely sore all over. The ache ran through every part of his body. He even felt as though all his bones and blood vessels were about to break the moment he moved.

“Don’t move. Do you know how long you’ve been sleeping?”

The man looked at the angry woman in confusion and shook his head obediently.

The woman then put down the broken branch she had picked up from the cave before throwing it into the fire with just one hand.

Suddenly, the entire cave felt warm.

Mu Yao put a hand on her forehead before replying to him, “Seven days.”

The man was still in a daze. But the next second, Mu Yao smacked him on the head and said coldly, “You slept for seven days! I was thinking that I might as well kill you if you didn’t wake up soon.”

The man instantly sobered up at the slap. When Mu Yao had just returned to the cave from the “Summer” mystical realm, she had been somewhat resistant to the Hehuan Swordsmanship techniques, including the man’s unnecessary actions.

However, Mu Yao had observed the man for seven whole days as he remained asleep, and her heart had grown even more tormented.

Firstly, she knew for sure that Tianlong was definitely in unrest right now. She couldn’t help but feel like she was sitting on pins and needles. Moreover, she was worried that the man would not wake up…

She had to say that the man’s swordsmanship techniques had been on her mind for the past seven days. There was nothing she could do. This was her only hope.

Although she had already drawn aura into her body and had relied on the power of the silver sword to get rid of Blood Pupil’s clone, she was just a beginner, just like the Blood Pupil said.

She had tried many methods over the past seven days. However, she simply did not have the ability to open the cave.

She had to leave the cave as soon as possible. She had not forgotten about her promise to the soldiers.

Mu Yao thought of the men who had given their lives up for her. She would never forget that scene for the rest of her life.

At that thought, Mu Yao’s eyes welled up. She suddenly lowered her gaze and calmed down.

Mu Yao crossed her arms and looked at him coldly. “I need to get out as soon as possible. What’s wrong with your resistance? Can’t you get out of the cave with your resistance?”

To the man, the woman sounded as though she was choked with emotions.

The man rubbed his head and said guiltily, “This… I don’t know where my power came from either. I can’t use it now, and I think my coma might be related to me using this power.”

“Alright.”

As a matter of fact, Mu Yao already knew the answer without asking. This power could only be used by the man when he was in extreme danger. Naturally, he had fallen unconscious from expending too much energy.

Thankfully, he was now awake.

Mu Yao took a deep breath, and a dark look flashed across her eyes. Her voice was firm as she said, “Let’s practice the Hehuan Swordsmanship techniques. I don’t have time to wait any longer.”

Then, the man suddenly felt as if his brain was struck by lightning. He turned around in shock and looked at the woman who had a determined look in her eyes. Even her tone was firm.

He could not believe that she had just said so. She had clearly been adamant about not doing that before he fainted.

Although he knew that he should not be that anxious, he couldn’t control himself because the woman was right in front of him.

‘What’s wrong with me?’ He questioned himself. ‘But she’s actually proposing to fulfill this alliance agreement?!’

He gulped and asked hesitantly, “Are you serious?”

“Yes.”

The next moment, Mu Yao sat on top of the man and reached out to undo his white shirt..
