Chapter 73 Tender Feelings? Each with Their Own Thoughts

"Holy Envoy, my magical power is exhausted. I will have to trouble you to take me up!"

Zhang Xiaofan said softly. Youji couldn't help but glare at him. We're all thousand-year-old foxes, why put on a show like this?
However, although she only gave him a sharp look, the expression on her stunningly beautiful face, which was both reproachful and coquettish, was quite charming.

In particular, the sight of the two leaning against each other so intimately caused Biyao, who was standing on the mountain wall nearby, to have a change in her expression. Her gaze towards Zhang Xiaofan also carried a strange quality, and she hurriedly urged him on.

"Aunt You, let's go in and take a look quickly."

Despite her anger, You Ji had no choice but to take Zhang Xiaofan with her and use her magic to float towards the cave. Lu Xueqi followed behind them and landed there as well.

Upon arriving at the cave entrance, Zhang Xiaofan stared intently into the cave. He noticed that the rocks inside were quite peculiar, emitting rays of light. Although the light appeared faint, there were an unusually large number of them, which made the cave bright enough with the soft light.

The cave in front of them was like a passageway, not very spacious. If two people were to walk side by side, it would be quite crowded. However, it was tall enough for two people to enter without having to bend over.

Seeing that Biyao was standing motionless at the cave entrance, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but turn to look at Youji and whispered.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Hearing Zhang Xiaofan's seemingly commanding words, Youji gritted her teeth and, quite indignantly, helped Old Master Zhang up. At the same time, the old man put his arm around her shoulder and they slowly walked into the cave.

After entering the cave, Youji's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Originally, You Ji was only being held by the shoulder, but the passageway was too narrow, so her whole body was almost leaning against Zhang Xiaofan's chest, as if she were being held by him.

At the same time, they had to walk slowly through this narrow passage, their chests and backs pressed together, rubbing against each other like lovers flirting. This made Youji very uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but pull away.

Zhang Xiaofan's arm, which was originally on You Ji's shoulder, became so narrow after they entered the cave passage that it seemed as if his arm was wrapped around You Ji's neck from her shoulder.

At this moment, seeing that You Ji seemed to want to break free, Zhang Xiaofan's arm fell down and placed directly on You Ji's lower abdomen. He then wrapped his arms around You Ji's soft waist, bringing their bodies even closer together.

"Miss Youji, you wouldn't want Miss Biyao to be trapped in this cave by the Black Water Serpent and unable to get out, would you?"

If Youji were to break free and block the way from the front, along with Biyao from behind, the situation for him and Lu Xueqi would be reversed again, with them becoming the fish on the chopping block and Youji and the others becoming the butcher.

Youji's body stiffened. She turned around and looked at Lu Xueqi, who was not far from them, and then at Biyao at the very back. She immediately understood what Zhang Xiaofan was thinking and gave up struggling.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, You Ji quickened her pace and led Zhang Xiaofan and the others deeper into the passageway, where a bend concealed the scenery further inside.

Before she even reached the corner, Youji heard the faint sound of water coming from there, and a look of joy flashed in her eyes.

After turning the corner, another long corridor appeared before them, but it was much wider than the previous one, which made Youji's face even happier. But the next moment, the whisper on her lips made Youji's chest heave with anger.

"Miss Youji, I think things are fine between us, right?"

Zhang Xiaofan whispered in You Ji's ear. There was no time for him to circulate his energy to recover his magic power. In front of You Ji, he was almost powerless and could only rely on his powerful body to withstand a few more blows.

Therefore, only at this distance can Zhang Xiaofan counter You Ji; once the distance increases, he'll become a sitting duck. "Indeed, I must say, Young Hero Zhang is truly suited to join my Holy Sect!"

Youji couldn't help but grit her teeth and sneer. She never imagined that one day she would be so angered by someone from the Qingyun Sect.

As she spoke, Youji seemed to be sulking, and quickly strode forward, pulling Zhang Xiaofan along and causing him to bump into her back.

Compared to the increasingly intimate contact before, Youji blushed, but she quickly suppressed the shame and indignation in her heart.

Today's events have already robbed her of her innocence, and it wouldn't make any difference if things went any further.

Comforting herself in this way, Youji strode forward again, forcing Zhang Xiaofan to keep up, so that Zhang Xiaofan's chest bumped into Youji's back again and again.

Following behind Zhang Xiaofan, Lu Xueqi's face flushed red as she watched You Ji and Zhang Xiaofan's ambiguous, even taboo, behavior.

Lu Xueqi never expected that Zhang Xiaofan would be so affectionate with You Ji, a holy envoy of the demonic sect.

Suddenly, Lu Xueqi couldn't help but recall what Biyao had said earlier. Her pupils contracted sharply, and she became more vigilant, a sense of worry rising in her heart.

That You Ji, even as a woman, is an absolute beauty. Lu Xueqi was stunned by her face, and with her mature demeanor and voluptuous figure, what if her junior brother couldn't control himself...

"Hey, are you leaving or not?"

Biyao, who was blocked by Lu Xueqi in the narrow passage, couldn't help but speak up when she saw Lu Xueqi standing motionless at the corner.

As she spoke, Biyao seemed to remember something, and with a hint of mockery on her face, she chuckled and said.

"Could it be that Fairy Lu is jealous because she saw Young Hero Zhang getting close to my Aunt You? Tsk tsk, if you can't hold onto your own man, don't blame others."

"Miss Biyao, you should mind your own business. You might not find a man who wants you in the future."

Lu Xueqi was unusually talkative this time. After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but let out a soft hum and followed after him.

Biyao, standing behind Lu Xueqi, watched her disappearing figure, raised her fist in anger, and muttered to herself.

"You vixen from the Hehuan Sect, what are you pretending to be, Fairy Hanyue? Just wait until your man gets stolen, then you'll be crying!"

It's unclear what scene Biyao was thinking of, but a smug and proud expression appeared on her face, and she followed after them.

But when Biyao turned the corner, she saw Lu Xueqi walking alone there, and the footprints left on the thick dust on the ground gradually disappeared into the distance.

Seeing that Lu Xueqi was about to disappear from sight, Biyao quickly chased after her and followed closely behind.

Not long after they walked, Biyao and Lu Xueqi saw Zhang Xiaofan and Youji leaning against one of the walls at the end of the passage.
