Chapter 655, Whoever Picks It, Keeps It

After fighting a great battle and then fleeing from Chu Jian for so long, although the two still had an abundance of True Qi, their physical and mental strength had been greatly drained.

Soon after sitting down, both of them entered into a kind of meditative state.

The spiritual and physical strength rapidly recovering.

After two hours, a bright light flashed across Yang Kai’s eyes as he slowly opened them; he had recovered to his peak state.

Han Fei was still sitting beside him and, although she had yet to wake up, her aura was a lot steadier now.

Her tender body now gently pressed against him, Yang Kai felt an indescribable softness and smelled a wondrous fragrance that seemed to naturally waft from this icy woman, rousing his spirits in many different ways.

A short while later, Han Fei gradually woke up, and upon noticing her current embarrassing state, took the initiative to open a small distance between her and Yang Kai before coldly asking, “What should we do now?”

“Explore the surrounding environment first,” Yang Kai said, standing up, pushing his True Qi slightly to emit a soft glow all around his body.

Han Fei couldn’t help but frown. She didn’t like the hot aura radiating from Yang Kai but there was no helping that, it was simply an instinctual reaction of her Demonic Qi towards his Yang Qi.

“I have some light crystals on me,” Han Fei said, pulling out two glowing stones from somewhere. Yang Kai smiled slightly accepted one before leading Han Fei around to explore the cavern.

Just as Yang Kai had suspected, this place was indeed a grand and expansive cavern.

More than three hundred meters tall and able to fit more than a dozen palaces inside it, this place also contained an astonishingly rich World Energy, not Yang Yuan Qi, but pure World Energy that any cultivator could absorb.

The two explored the cave for a while but found nothing until they came across a path that led deeper into the ground.

“Do you want to go in and explore or wait here for Li Rong to come to save us?” Yang Kai held up the light crystal and asked Han Fei.

A hint of curiosity flashed across Han Fei’s pair of beautiful eyes and after only a brief moment of hesitation, she replied, “Even if Senior Li receives word of this, she won’t necessarily know we’re down here. This is a rare chance, we might as well go in and see.”

“Alright,” Yang Kai smiled.

This place was a famous forbidden zone to the Ancient Demon Clan. Even the four Great Commanders would not be able to access this region easily. In fact, without Yang Kai’s asylum this time, on her own, Han Fei would not have been able to arrive at this cave safely and would have already been melted by the surrounding magma.

She was naturally very curious about what kind of secrets this place held.

Even though the Ancient Demon Clan had lived here for countless years, this was a completely unexplored area, so Han Fei’s inborn curiosity eventually won out.

Descending through the dark tunnel, the pair noticed that the surrounding rock walls were unusually sturdy.

After walking for what seemed like forever though, the two still had nothing to show for their efforts.

Han Fei, who was following behind Yang Kai, was now having some difficulty breathing steadily.

Her lower abdomen had been pierced through, and although this injury was not a threat to her life, it still greatly affected her strength and mobility.

“Let’s rest here for a while,” Yang Kai proposed.

Han Fei nodded indifferent, knowing that he was being considerate.

Upon sitting down, Yang Kai took out a healing pill and handed it to Han Fei, the latter simply glancing at him for a moment before calmly accepting it.

“You don’t have healing pills on you?” Yang Kai asked, frowning.

“We can’t practice Alchemy, how could we have healing pills?” Han Fei replied faintly.

“Why didn’t you say anything earlier…” Yang Kai was speechless. This woman was so proud that she had chosen to use only her natural healing abilities to deal with such a grave injury rather than asking him for a pill.

On the other hand, Yang Kai had thought that Han Fei, as one of the four Great Commanders, would at least have some common healing pills on her.

“Well excuse me,” Han Fei snorted, thinking about something for a moment before suddenly taking out a flask and handing it to Yang Kai, “Want some water?”

Yang Kai was surprised and almost unconsciously accepted the flask from her hand and drank a few mouthfuls.

Han Fei asked again, “Want something to eat?”

This time, she handed over a few pieces of fruit before Yang Kai could even answer. These fruits contained quite a lot of energy and were obviously high-quality items.

This woman… was she doing this in order to express her thanks? Yang Kai looked at her slightly awkward expression and suddenly understood what was going through her head.

Yang Kai secretly shook his head and accepted the fruits, eating them without any hesitation.

“You seem to have brought a lot of things with you,” Yang Kai looked at her up and down, wondering where she was keeping all thes
