Chapter 552 (2/2)

“Goodnight then!”

Ye Lang thought Li Yue was tired so he shielded them with an alchemy formation so no one from the outside could see them in the formation. At the same time, it kept out snakes, rats and insects so the patch of grass would not be disturbed. It was a sort of tent.

Very quickly, Ye Lang went to sleep to talk to Xuan Yuanbing. He was exhausted too, he’d carried Li Yue while sprinting hundreds of kilometers. If it wasn’t for his internal cultivation, he would’ve collapsed.

But the long journey wasn’t useless to him, he benefitted too. This journey improved his internal breathwork because running long distance was a good method to pace his breathing.

Li Yue clawed at the grass cruelly after Ye Lang fell asleep. She wanted to kick him badly- she’d slept for a day, it wasn’t going to be easy for her to fall asleep.

However, she did not get up. In the end, she slowly drifted into sleep.

And just like that, they did not speak through the night…

In the morning, the sky brightened. On the grassland, Ye Lang and Li Yue were still fast asleep, cuddling…

Wait? Cuddling?

“Ah?!” Li Yue screamed, then shoved Ye Lang away with all her might. This was a reaction any girl would have!

When she woke, she realised she was hugging a very warm body, the warmth made her feel very, very comfortable.

However, when she was more awake, she opened her eyes to see herself hugging Ye Lang. Her face reddened immediately and then she reacted as we described above.

With the shove, Ye Lang rolled several times across the grass and hit the boundary of his alchemy formation. This formation had certain defensive properties.

Thud!

“Ah…”

When he crashed into the protective field, he shrieked in pain- different from Li Yue’s scream.

“...” Li Yue almost laughed when she saw him like that but she did not. She was still mad, mad at Ye Lang for taking advantage of her when she was sleeping.

However, she realised something. Ye Lang had been sleeping in the same spot, while she’d fallen asleep a distance away.

This meant…

I was the one who came to cuddle?! Li Yue blushed when she thought about it.

It was hard to blame Li Yue too, this was very natural because it was chilly at night and their fire had died. It was very natural for a sleeping Li Yue to gravitate towards a heat source- Ye Lang.

At this point, other than being secretly embarrassed, she was also perplexed at why his body heat was especially comfortable. It did not feel as simple as someone’s body temperature.

Perhaps she was wrong.

“Eh, it’s morning? Why am I over here?” Ye Lang sat up and muttered to himself. “Whatever, maybe I had a cramp?”

Yeah, you had a cramp! Li Yue thought, relieved Ye Lang did not know.

“Time to wash up, brush my teeth!” With one alchemy formation, he cleansed his entire body. Then, he used alchemy to condense some water to rinse his face and mouth. Such a feat that required skill and water was completed so effortlessly.

Everything was so much simpler with alchemy!
