10 days later (a gentle romantic chapter)
In the deep of night,
the bright moon hung high in the sky,
its pure moonlight shining over the mountains.
“Awooo!”
“Awooo…”
A pack of Level 1 adult demon wolves gathered fiercely outside a cave.
Inside the cave,
a campfire was burning.
Suddenly—
Whoosh!
A beautiful white figure, graceful like a fairy, rushed out of the cave
and stood elegantly before the wolf pack.
She swept her cold gaze across them.
The next moment,
the aura of a 1st-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivator erupted from her body!
The demon wolves that had looked so ferocious just moments ago
immediately tucked their tails!
Then they scattered and fled in fear!
The woman in white
was none other than
Zhong Wu Shiyao.
10 days ago
she had flown on her sword for 13,000 li
to arrive at this place.
She then opened up the cave as a temporary residence
and brought Tan Yun here to recover.
A full 10 days had passed.
Tan Yun, who had suffered severe spiritual injuries,
still had not regained consciousness.
Zhong Wu Shiyao looked at the wolves that had fled.
In her beautiful eyes
was deep sorrow.
Memories from the past surfaced in her heart.
When she was still an infant,
she had been found by her adoptive father in a wolf cave.
She remembered the loving faces of her adoptive parents.
However…
all of that
had disappeared when she was 5 years old.
She raised her head and stared blankly at the night sky.
She felt both resentment toward her biological parents who had abandoned her
and longing for her adoptive parents who had passed away.
Under the moonlight,
a crystal-clear tear
slid down Zhong Wu Shiyao’s cheek.
Her lips trembled,
her voice filled with sobs.
“Father… Mother…”
“I miss you both so much…”
“I want to become a child again… to return to your embrace…”
“Mother… I’m so tired of living like this…”
Zhong Wu Shiyao knelt down,
facing the western direction of the night sky.
That direction
was her hometown.
Her tear-streaked face—
filled with pain, despair, and loneliness—
made anyone who saw it feel an urge to protect her.
“Mother… do you know…”
“Right now, I’m very confused…”
Zhong Wu Shiyao said while crying.
“I’ve fallen in love with a man… the one who once saved my life.”
“His name is… Tan Yun.”
“But… sob… between him and my sworn brother…”
“there is hatred that can never be reconciled…”
“Mother…”
“If you are watching from heaven…”
“please tell me what I should do… what should I do…”
At that moment,
inside the cave,
Tan Yun was lying beside the dimly burning campfire.
In a state between sleep and waking,
he heard the sound of a woman crying.
After 10 days,
although Tan Yun’s physical wounds had already healed,
his soul had suffered severe damage.
His eyelids felt as heavy as mountains.
He could not open them.
But the woman’s crying
was perfectly clear in his ears.
“Mother…”
“Since I was born, I’ve never loved anyone… until I met him…”
“Even though he already has someone he loves…”
“I’m in so much pain… but I still can’t forget him…”
“Wuu…”
“Mother… can you hear me…”
“I’m truly in so much pain…”
“Wuu…”
“Right now, Liu Rulong is the only family I have left…”
“And Tan Yun is the person I love the most…”
“I truly don’t want either of them to die…”
“Wuu…”
“I lost you when I was 5 years old…”
“I don’t want to lose them too…”
Under the night sky,
Zhong Wu Shiyao looked like a homeless child.
She crouched on the ground,
holding her head with both hands,
crying helplessly.
Her heart
was truly broken.
She had no idea how to deal with
the hatred between
Tan Yun and Liu Rulong.
Time
slowly passed second by second.
No one knew how long had passed.
Zhong Wu Shiyao
seemed to have cried herself tired.
Her shoulders trembled slightly.
Then she wiped away her tears
and slowly walked back into the cave absentmindedly.
Her figure was beautiful—
yet extremely lonely.
Just looking at her
made people feel heartache for her solitude.
The cave used as their shelter was about 5 zhang in size.
Inside,
a stone bed had been carved out of the cave wall.
Tan Yun lay motionless on the stone bed.
His breathing was faint,
his lips pale and slightly cracked.
“Water… I’m thirsty…”
A weak voice escaped from Tan Yun’s dry lips.
Zhong Wu Shiyao’s slender body trembled slightly.
“Alright… wait for me a moment.”
She quickly walked toward a corner of the cave.
There,
a stone bowl and a stone bucket, carved with a sword, were placed.
When looking at
Tan Yun’s clean white inner trousers,
his spotless inner clothing,
and his completely clean face,
it was clear that
during these 10 days…
Zhong Wu Shiyao had been taking meticulous care of him.
She bent down and picked up the stone bowl,
then quickly walked out of the cave.
Before long,
she returned with the bowl filled with clear spring water.
Zhong Wu Shiyao sat beside the stone bed.
With her left hand,
she gently supported Tan Yun and helped him sit up slightly.
A faint blush appeared on her beautiful face.
She took a small sip of the spring water,
holding it in her mouth.
Then…
her soft lips pressed against Tan Yun’s dry, cracked lips.
Slowly,
she transferred the water from her mouth into his.
Again and again…
over and over…
until the water in the stone bowl had been completely consumed.
Her heart beat rapidly without stopping,
yet her movements remained gentle and natural.
Because during the 10 days they had spent in the cave,
before Tan Yun lost consciousness,
he had endured severe torture.
Even after fainting,
his teeth had remained tightly clenched.
Zhong Wu Shiyao had tried many times to feed him water using the stone bowl,
but it had never worked.
In the end,
she had no choice but to use this method—
pressing her lips against his to give him water.
Afterward,
Zhong Wu Shiyao gently laid Tan Yun back down on the stone bed.
Then she stood up,
picked up the stone bucket,
and went outside to collect water from the stream in the beautiful mountain forest.
When she returned to the cave,
she placed the bucket on the campfire.
Her slender fingers dipped into the water repeatedly,
carefully checking the temperature.
When the water reached the right warmth,
she carried the bucket to the stone bed.
Her heart pounded.
Her delicate hands trembled slightly
as she slowly loosened Tan Yun’s inner clothing.
Then,
she used a clean white silk cloth, soaked in water and wrung slightly dry,
to wipe Tan Yun’s upper body,
which was damp with sweat from pain.
Every movement she made
was gentle and careful,
as if
she were a young maiden whose face flushed with shyness,
yet at the same time like a wife attentively caring for her husband.
After cleaning his upper body,
she turned her face to the other side
and closed her eyes tightly.
Her soft hands trembled slightly
before she removed Tan Yun’s trousers.
Thump… Thump…
Even though it was not the first time,
every time she cleaned his body,
her heart still beat just as fast.
Zhong Wu Shiyao kept her eyes closed
as she removed Tan Yun’s sweat-soaked clothes.
Then she took out a clean white robe from her Qiankun Ring
and covered his body with it.
The clothes she had removed
she took outside to wash in the stream.
Under the bright moonlight,
on her pure and radiant face,
there appeared a gentle and beautiful smile.
After finishing washing the clothes,
she held the wet garments in her hands.
Spiritual power slowly flowed from her palms.
Before long,
the clothes became completely dry.
She carried the clothes back into the cave.
Closing her eyes once again,
she helped Tan Yun put them on.
After that,
Zhong Wu Shiyao sat on the edge of the stone bed.
She opened her eyes.
A trace of hesitation flashed through her beautiful gaze.
Lowering her head slightly,
her soft red lips
slowly pressed a kiss onto Tan Yun’s forehead.
Then she murmured softly,
“No matter how things end between us in the future…”
“I will always remember the days I spent with you.”
“Tan Yun…”
“I like you.”
After saying that,
Zhong Wu Shiyao—who had been caring for Tan Yun for 10 days and 10 nights without sleeping—
began to feel drowsy.
Her eyelids slowly closed little by little.
She rested her head on Tan Yun’s chest.
When she thought about the hatred between
Tan Yun and Liu Rulong,
tears flowed again,
soaking into Tan Yun’s clothes.
She whispered softly,
“If only… you and my brother… had no hatred between you…”
Not long after,
Zhong Wu Shiyao fell into a deep sleep.
At that moment,
Tan Yun
slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at the young woman
who still had tears on her face even while asleep.
In his eyes,
a faint trace of gentleness appeared…
