In the quick transmigration story, the most popular female supporting character is both delicate and

"You'll find out in twenty years anyway."

Ling Ye's eyes darkened slightly, and he pursed his lips, remaining silent.

-

A few days later.

Ling Ye's health has improved a lot.

He kept his word and gave the magical artifact that could reverse time and space to Yun Yao.

Yun Yao also left him the spirit stones, books, and other things he might need.

Before leaving... Yun Yao suddenly seemed to remember something and turned her head to look at him.

"Ling Ye... I will remember you."

She seemed to understand why Ling Ye was always so insistent on distinguishing between the present him and the him twenty years from now.

His twenty years were twenty years in which he walked a long road alone, but people only started to love him after he became a genius of the Yuling Sect.

People love his scenery, but they only love his scenery.

"See you next time."

Ling Ye lowered his eyes to read, taking a long time to turn a page. His tone was low and cold, as if it could shatter the moonlight. "Hmm."

"What I mean is, once I leave the secret realm and return to the Spirit Control Sect, I will come to find you again."

Ling Ye's eyes trembled slightly, his voice cold and hard, "Why come back after leaving?"

"...I just crave the steamed buns from the steamed bun shop in the south of the city."

Ling Ye picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and covered the corners of his slightly upturned lips. "Then remember to come back early. That steamed bun shop only opens for half a day in winter and then closes. Be careful, you might not be able to buy any even if you queue up."

"Oh, I see."

Yun Yao disliked this guy's hypocrisy, but considering that he always helped her queue up to buy steamed buns and pastries, she decided to come back earlier next time.

But before she left, she vaguely heard a sentence...

Even if you come back in winter, I will still make you tea.

The voice was as gentle as a murmur, carried away by a gentle breeze.

Go back twenty years.

Within the secret realm.

Yun Yao woke up on the shore.

Her biggest worry is that after traveling back in time for so long, the entrance to the secret realm may have already been closed.

[Host, only ten hours have passed since you returned to the past. The flow of time differs in different timelines.]

[Twenty years ago, I stayed there for exactly twenty days, so one hour now is equivalent to two days back then...]

[That's right.]

That's good.

Yun Yao used a directional talisman to check her current location.

Without Gu Yichen to guide her, she could only find a slightly safer place first.

After all, her strength at the early stage of Foundation Establishment was simply not enough.

But what was originally intended to be a safe place... unfortunately, it got them caught up in the infighting of other sects.

In this world of cultivation, strength reigns supreme.

Even among disciples of immortal sects, it's common for them to compete for resources.

In the heat of battle, they fought without distinguishing friend from foe, grabbing their swords and going at it.

Yun Yao had no choice but to draw her sword to defend against the attacks.

But ultimately, their skills were slightly inferior.

At the crucial moment, someone took the sword for her...

Feng Moran was furious, "Idiot, if you can't beat them, why don't you run away!"

"..." Given the way her opponent was trying to kill her, she could have died if she had been distracted even slightly, let alone retrieve the teleportation artifact.

Feng Moran finished off the man, wiped the blood off his sword, and sheathed it. "Where's Gu Yichen? Why isn't he here?"

“Pei…something happened, and we got separated.”

Yun Yao originally wanted to say that Pei Liyun pushed her into the black pool, and that she got separated from her senior brother...

But thinking of Feng Moran's killing spree just now, which was like slaughtering a pig.

His romantic relationship with the female lead hasn't even developed yet. What if he says he'll stand up for her, his pet, and ends up killing her with a single sword strike? What will happen to the subsequent plot?

Feng Moran gave her a disdainful look. "How could you get lost like this? What kind of things are you thinking about?"

"..."

Feng Moran poked her head, "Look at you, so clumsy. Who combed your hair?"

"..." Ling Ye helped her comb her hair, because he couldn't stand how clumsy she was, so he reluctantly gave her a simple women's hairstyle.

Feng Moran guessed it was Gu Yichen... After all, this little fox could be easily tied up with a hair tie.

"So ugly." It's not nearly as nice as the way he styled it.

"..."

"Next time you need your hair styled, come to me, so you don't look too bad and embarrass me in public."

"..."

Feng Moran took out a hair tie from his storage ring, wrapped one end around his own wrist, and the other end around hers.

"We can't let ourselves get separated this time, can we?"

"...", like taking a primary school student out for a walk.

Feng Moran ruffled her head, deliberately messing up her hair. "It's getting late, let's find a place to rest."

"Where is a place to rest around here?" She hadn't seen any shelter from the wind and rain along the way.

"I know a place."

Feng Moran led his men to a cave, took off his coat, and spread it on the ground, saying, "Sit down and rest for a while."

"Aren't you going to sit?" Yun Yao looked up at the person who was untying the hair tie in their hand.

"I'll go get some firewood. The temperature difference between day and night is huge in this secret realm, and it gets very cold at midnight."

He had already reached the Golden Core stage and could completely rely on his own cultivation to keep warm, but she couldn't.

"Oh, then I'll go with you."

"Stay here."

"……OK."

Feng Moran quickly gathered a pile of firewood and returned.

After the fire was lit, the entire cave warmed up.

Once the body warms up, one feels sleepy.

Yun Yao leaned against the cave wall and fell asleep.

Feng Moran looked at the firelight reflecting on her face, strode over, sat down beside her, put one arm around her waist, and pulled her onto his lap.

"Why can't it be done if you just say a few nice words?"

"Is Gu Yichen really that good? Would you be willing to jump into his bed if it were him?"

"Why are you so frivolous and lack self-respect!"

"Heh," Feng Moran chuckled self-deprecatingly, looking down at the person in his arms, and reached out to unbutton her clothes.

His face wore a playful and nonchalant expression, but his hands trembled slightly uncontrollably.

The warm breath of the person in his arms fell on his neck, making his heart itch.

He lowered his head and pecked at the corner of her lips, his kisses tracing down her neck.

The person in my arms trembled slightly, their eyelashes fluttering, and a soft moan escaped their throat, "Mmm..."

The blush on the girl's cheeks made her fair skin even more vibrant, making her beauty lively and captivating.

Despite her obvious discomfort, a pair of tender, lotus-root-like arms still clung to him.

A hint of a smile appeared in Feng Moran's eyes, and he said gently, "Yaoyao is so good."

I wish he could be this well-behaved when he's awake...

the next day.

When Yunyao woke up, she felt a pain in her neck, as if she had been bitten by something.

"Senior brother, can you take a look at me?" She pulled down her collar. "Did something bite me?"

Feng Moran's gaze fell on that snow-white neck and shoulders... There were several patches of deep, lustrous red on the fair skin.

Combined with her earnest and innocent expression, it only made her look more alluring.

Feng Moran's breath hitched, and his pupils suddenly darkened.

He reached out and pulled up her collar, his voice low and husky, "I'll apply the medicine for you later... Don't just pull your clothes down and let anyone see."

"……Oh."

Yun Yao felt that Feng Moran seemed a bit strange. He was calling people "idiots" and making sarcastic remarks yesterday, so why was he suddenly so serious and earnest today?

"Today we're heading deep into the secret realm; perhaps we'll reunite with Gu Yichen."

"Oh."

As Feng Moran spoke, he subtly observed her expression, noticing her calm demeanor...

"You're not happy to finally see your beloved senior brother?"

Yun Yao gave a slight smile. "Yes, I'm very happy."

"Hmph," Feng Moran chuckled, unsure whether to be happy or not.

A cold and heartless little fox?
