Chapter 106: The Shackles Between Two People

After that dream Xiao Yan had on that day, he and Yun Zhi continued their daily life of cultivation in the mountain cave.

However, there was something that puzzled Xiao Yan these past few days.

Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Xiao Yan felt that Yun Zhis attitude towards him had become colder and more indifferent?

If it were merely indifference, that would have been okay, but the issue was that Yun Zhis coldness was mixed with an undeniable gentleness.

Coldness and gentleness were clearly contradictory words, yet these past few days, they coexisted in Yun Zhis attitude towards him.

Xiao Yan really couldnt understand.

Did I do something wrong?

Besides training, Xiao Yan spent these days constantly pondering this question.

Yet in the end, he couldnt come up with an answer.

For this, the voice of Yao Chen inside the ring felt relieved.

Fortunately, his disciples mind wasnt too sharp.

But on the other hand, Yao Chen felt sorry for Xiao Yan and even more guilty towards Yun Zhi.

In her anticipation, after the two of them opened up about that matter, they shouldnt suppress their feelings anymore and naturally come together.

After all, both Xiao Yan and Yun Zhi had affection for each other, that was an indisputable fact.

But the outcome was far beyond what Yao Chen had expected.

Xiao Yan had no memory of the incident, Yun Zhi didnt mention it, and it seemed she wouldnt in the future either.

Yun Zhi understood Xiao Yans feelings towards her, but due to their identities, she had been restraining herself, even after that incident.

Just like how Xiao Yan had been restraining himself.

Thinking of this, Yao Chen felt quite helpless.

Looking at how both of you restrain your feelings like this, youre really a perfect match

In the end, Yao Chen chose to remain silent.

Even at this point, Yun Zhi chose duty over her own wishes.

This choice made Yao Chen frustrated but also deeply regretful.

Since Yun Zhi still made this choice after what happened, Yao Chen could only respect it.

As a new day began and the sun rose, Xiao Yan was still sleeping.

Outside the cave, Yun Zhi stood beneath the waterfall, her eyes tightly closed, her consciousness condensed within the purple seal on her chest, and her Dou Qi gradually rising.

Finally, Yun Zhi abruptly opened her eyes.

Break!

Accompanied by a shout, the purple seal on Yun Zhis chest shattered, and the suppressed Dou Qi within her burst forth, completely restoring her original strength.

Their lips, which had been entwined, slowly separated.

Looking at Xiao Yans sleeping face, Yun Zhis lips curled into a bitter smile.

Perhaps we really shouldnt be together

Yun Zhi turned around and approached the stone table, leaving behind a letter. Alongside it was the Oceans Heart Armor she had been wearing.

And then, she left without any lingering sentiment.

After Yun Zhi left, the figure of Yao Chen emerged from the ring. She gazed at the cave entrance, then cast a glance at the still sleeping Xiao Yan, letting out a deep sigh.

Self-awareness, restraint of desire, and the emphasis on duty.

Though all positive terms, they had become heavy shackles between Xiao Yan and Yun Zhi, hindering the two from progressing further with their mutual affection.

Its truly lamentable.

On the other side, after leaving the cave, Yun Zhi didnt immediately depart from the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Instead, she arrived at the entrance of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion Kings den.

The newly awakened Purple Crystal Winged Lion King stood at the entrance, frowning slightly as it looked at Yun Zhi flying towards it.

Since the seal has been lifted and it has already obtained the Purple Spirit Crystals it wanted, why is this woman coming here?

Lion King, Yun Zhi floated in mid-air, her gaze fixed on the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. She asked, Regarding the items you proposed in exchange for the Purple Spirit Crystals, aside from the Body Transformation Pill, is there anything else you desire?

Hearing Yun Zhis question, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion Kings frown deepened.

Did she come all the way here to ask this?

Nothing else, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King grinned, saying, What I need right now is just the Body Transformation Pill.

Is that so I understand.

Yun Zhi pondered softly, then looked at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King seriously.

I assure you that I will do my best to acquire the Body Transformation Pill. Once I have it, I will bring it to you immediately as a gesture of gratitude for your gift of the Purple Spirit Crystals.

Haha?

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King paused for a moment, then recovered and chuckled, its slight resentment towards Yun Zhi lessening.

Sure thing~ Ill just wait without any expectations then~

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King laughed heartily, and Yun Zhi then saluted with a fist.

Farewell.

With that, Yun Zhi turned around and left the Magic Beast Mountain Range, not looking back.

As for why she had done this, Yun Zhi herself couldnt put it into words.

After all, she had already obtained the Purple Spirit Crystals, and even if she hadnt made this promise, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King wouldnt have chased after her.

Thinking it over, Yun Zhi arrived at one conclusion.

Perhaps it was because she didnt want to feel ashamed in front of Xiao Yan, no matter the reason
