This time they moved in a different direction. On the way they found more cactuses and a little more rocky formations, which made Ying a bit more optimistic. Maybe it was a wiser choise to head west than east.

Increased vegetation could indicate a water source, which they were in great need to find. If they needed to find shade, they could also rely on the big rocks.

When the sun was at its peak in the sky, the young Gods chose to hide under two large rocks, which formed a cone with hollowing. Under the shadow, the temperature was somewhat lower but still quite unbearable.

Yang used his hand as a fan to cool down, but stopped when receiving a glare from his partner. He forgot each and every time to not move unnecessarily.

At the same time he was a bit envious over her self discipline, which clearly was enormous. She was in the same situation and thus experienced the same torture, but still never failed to optimize her actions after usefulness.

Even if he was still mad over his death, he still couldn't help but admire the person seated in front of him.

With nothing else to do, Ying decided to take a nap. She sat down and rested her back against the wall. Before she closed her eyes, she saw her companion copying her.

Just like that, both of them fell asleep.

A few hours later, some weird noises reached the Fire God's ears. He woke up as a result and became alert. It was afternoon, but the entire place was still as bright as before.

He quickly casted his gaze around him, but saw nothing unusal. The Ice God was still at the same position as he remembered.

Had he been imagining things? Otherwise based on the crazy woman's skills, she should also have noticed.

Suddenly he heard something again. This time it sounded as whimpers. Who could be whimpering? No one else was here except for...

Yang rised up and approached Ying. As he did, the whimpers became louder. He could see that she was clearly still asleep, but was probably having a nightmare. In this proximity, he saw her body shuddering lightly. His hand reached out to shake her awake, but stopped in midair as he hesitated.
