Chapter 68: Memories Recreated

Chapter 68: Memories Recreated

The dusk had passed, and nightfall descended.

By the roadside, a bonfire burned brightly, with a young man and a young woman sitting on either side of it. They were none other than Xiao Yan and Yun Yun, who was using the alias Yun Zhi.

Faced with this Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) sister, Xiao Yan, as a small Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) , couldnt shake her off but also didnt dare to drive her away. He had no choice but to embark on a journey with Yun Zhi.

Xiao Yan took the roasted meat off the bonfire and sprinkled some spices on it before handing it to Yun Zhi.

Yun Zhi, here you go. Be careful, its hot.

Although she insisted on following him, Xiao Yan was not an impolite person and wouldnt eat while being watched by Yun Zhi.

Of course, setting aside their personalities, Xiao Yan also wanted to avoid any possibility of provoking the displeasure of someone who could easily flick him away with a wave of her hand as a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level). Such a casual action would be unbearable for a small Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) like him.

Thank you.

Yun Zhi calmly thanked him and took the roasted meat with her jade-like hand. She opened her small mouth and tore off a piece, slowly chewing it.

Compared to Yun Zhis elegant eating style, Xiao Yan seemed a bit rough. He gnawed on the roasted meat while observing Yun Zhi, his mind filled with thoughts.

Shes really beautiful If I hadnt been accustomed to Yao Chens stunning beauty, Xiao Yan would definitely be captivated by Yun Zhis appearance.

But now, after experiencing Yao Chens charm, Xiao Yans heart couldnt stir up much of a ripple when faced with such unparalleled beauty in the eyes of ordinary people.

Perhaps in front of Yao Chen, the appearance of all women in the world would pale in comparison.

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Yan began to ponder Yun Zhis identity.

Indeed, Yun Zhi should have come from a major sect. Eating roasted meat so elegantly in the wilderness indicated that.

However, as far as Xiao Yan knew, there shouldnt be any Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire with the name Yun Zhi.

There was someone named Yun Yun, who happened to be the current sect master of the Yun Lan Sect and the teacher of Nalan Yanran.

Although Xiao Yan had never met Yun Yun, according to his guess, a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) powerhouse like Yun Yun wouldnt have a reason to use an alias when facing a Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) like himself. Moreover, he was officially engaged to Nalan Yanran, so she had no reason to conceal her identity.

Therefore, Xiao Yan speculated that Yun Zhi should be a disciple of a hidden sect in the Jia Ma Empire, and she might not even be from the Jia Ma Empire.

If you ask why

Xiao Yan couldnt help but look at the several charred and rock-hard pieces of meat beside the bonfire, his eyes filled with helplessness.

These were all Yun Zhis creations.

Yun Zhi, take your time. I still have plenty here.

Yun Zhi, who was venting her grievances towards the roasted meat, heard Xiao Yans words. She first looked at the roasted meat in his hand, then her gaze moved to Xiao Yans gentle smile. Under the illumination of the firelight, she suddenly felt a warmth that she hadnt experienced in a long time.

It was a gaze that showed genuine concern for a person without any ulterior motives.

Yun Zhis thoughts couldnt help but go back to the past.

The young and naive boy before her seemed to overlap with the youthful and unaged face of her teacher, Yun Shan, from her childhood memories.

Back when she was still a young Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) , her teacher, Yun Shan, took her out to experience the world. When he handed her the roasted meat, he had the same gentle smile and passed it to her.

That should be the happiest moment of her life so far.

It was so happy that the young her couldnt help but believe that she was born into this world just for that moment.

There were no distractions, no desires, and the taste of the roasted meat couldnt compare to the luxurious feasts in those grand restaurants.

But Yun Zhi genuinely felt that that moment was warm from the bottom of her heart. Every time she thought of it, she would feel nostalgic.

However, Yun Zhi hadnt experienced that warmth she longed for in over a decade.

No one had ever given her that warmth again, including Yun Shan, who had once bestowed it upon her.

It wasnt just because Yun Shan went into seclusion, but also because the Yun Shan before his seclusion made Yun Zhi feel cold and distant.

Yun Zhi couldnt put it into words, but she had a faint intuition.

Her teacher had changed, and she couldnt pinpoint when it had started.

The beautiful memories of the past had become nothing but memories.

She had thought that they could never be recreated.

Yet now, it was being offered by this young man before her

Yun Zhi slowly snapped out of her thoughts and gently reached out to take the roasted meat from Xiao Yans hand. She said softly, Thank you as she smiled once again, her gratitude evident in her eyes.

Hearing Yun Zhis words of thanks, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling a hint of confusion.

He couldnt shake off the feeling that Yun Zhi wasnt thanking him for handing her the roasted meat, but for something else.

Well it must be just his imagination.

Xiao Yan dismissed the meaningless thoughts and responded with a smile, Youre welcome~
