Yi Feng smiled bitterly.
However, after knowing the dangers within this mountain, Yi Feng decided to wait in place. He also intended to wait until Yun Yaoyao's cultivation level recovered before leaving the mountain together.
Otherwise, given their current condition, let alone encountering that Ox Demon, even if they met a slightly stronger demonic beast, it would be difficult to deal with.
Time slowly passed...
The man and woman spent their days together in this mountain cave.
Every day, Yun Yaoyao would sit in meditation and cultivate, attempting to break through the seals in her body.
Meanwhile, Yi Feng was responsible for taking care of their daily food and water, busying himself merrily.
"Let's chat,"
One day, as Yi Feng prepared to head out again, he hesitated for a moment before squatting in front of Yun Yaoyao and said.
"Go ahead,"
Yun Yaoyao opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Yi Feng.
"I feel like I'm at a loss here. You saved me once, but I've saved you several times. I still have to be responsible for your meals every day. Every time I step out, I'm worried sick, afraid of running into demonic beasts." Yi Feng frowned and said.
"Is a cultivator's favor not enough for you?" Yun Yaoyao's eyes shimmered as she asked back.
"Bah, what good is your favor to me? It's all empty talk." Yi Feng rolled his eyes at Yun Yaoyao and said, "Give me something substantial."
"What do you want that's substantial?" Yun Yaoyao asked.
"I wanted to try some items that you cultivators use, but I probably can't utilize them anyway. So just give me some gold coins!" Yi Feng grinned and said, "Give me 1.8 million. I definitely won't think it's too much."
Yun Yaoyao looked at Yi Feng with a complex expression.
She then said, "Do you know that a cultivator's favor is something that money can't buy? 1.8 million gold coins may seem like a lot, but it's nothing to us cultivators. So are you really asking for gold coins instead of needing my favor?"
"Yes, I want the gold coins."
Yi Feng said with a big smile on his face.
He thought that with this sum of gold coins, he could finally replenish what he spent on Nansha.
When he returns, he can also renovate his martial arts school and replace that reclining chair in the yard. If he still has spare money left, he can hire a maid. This life would be wonderful.
"Alright."
Yun Yaoyao nodded and said, "I can give you 1 million gold coins, but I don't have it on me right now. We'll have to go out to get it."
"That's fine. Write me an IOU,"
Yi Feng gleefully said. He then took out paper and a pen.
"I, Yun Yaoyao, owe Yi Feng 1 million gold coins. Signature for proof."
Yi Feng wrote on the paper and placed it in front of Yun Yaoyao with a smile. "Here, sign it."
Yun Yaoyao's expression changed imperceptibly.
"Fine."
Seeing Yi Feng's unrelenting appearance, she gritted her teeth and nodded. Under Yi Feng's gaze, she signed her name.
"Nice."
Yi Feng carefully stored the IOU, tucking it into his clothes. He didn't forget to pat it contentedly.
After putting away the IOU, Yi Feng left with Yun Yaoyao's sword to look for food.
However, all he could find were some wild fruits. He supplemented them with the specialty fruits he brought along, as he was once scared off by two wild beasts when he tried to barbecue.
However, right after Yi Feng stepped out of the cave, Yun Yaoyao's expression inside changed.
Although she no longer had any cultivation level, her keen senses could still detect several demonic beasts not far from the cave.
Furthermore, these demonic beasts were quite strong.
This made her extremely worried.
Because from the looks of it, Yi Feng who went out would inevitably encounter these demonic beasts.
"What should I do?"
As her beautiful eyes flickered, with her cultivation completely sealed and her external injuries still unhealed, even walking was somewhat strenuous for her, let alone going to rescue Yi Feng.
Although this mortal annoyed her at times, she didn't dislike him.
But just as she was at a loss, she suddenly noticed that the auras of those demonic beasts had disappeared.
"Could they have left?"
"Was Yi Feng already..."
Thinking of this, her heart panicked.
Despite her unhealed injuries, she still forcibly supported her body and walked towards the cave entrance.
But when she just reached the entrance, she saw Yi Feng carrying a sword, cursing as he walked back: "Damn pigs daring to ambush me. Do they think I'm a vegetarian? I'm someone who has practiced martial arts too."
"You're not dead?"
Seeing Yi Feng safe and sound, Yun Yaoyao was dumbfounded.
"What do you mean?"
"Were you hoping I'd die?"
"Are all women this vicious?"
Yi Feng frowned at Yun Yaoyao and asked.
"That's not what I meant." Yun Yaoyao quickly explained, "I sensed the demonic beasts' auras outside the cave, so I thought you were..."
"The demonic beasts' auras?"
Yi Feng's expression changed in fright. He immediately took a step next to Yun Yaoyao and asked vigilantly, "Don't scare me."
"Don't worry, their auras have disappeared already, so they should have left." Yun Yaoyao said. She then looked at Yi Feng again and asked, "But you really didn't run into them earlier?"
"No. I did kill a few arrogant little beasts though." Yi Feng said.
Yun Yaoyao was incredulous.
That didn't make sense.
Based on the strength that those demonic beasts exuded earlier, it was impossible for them to not notice Yi Feng outside the cave.
Since they definitely could discover Yi Feng, but didn't attack him and instead directly left, what was the implication?
"Are you sure you didn't see them?" Yun Yaoyao asked again.
"Really didn't." Yi Feng shook his head. He suddenly recalled something and hurriedly said, "The demonic beasts you mentioned, they can't be the few beasts I killed right?"
Upon hearing this.
Frost covered Yun Yaoyao's face.
Based on their aura, those demonic beasts were at least at the Demon Lord level. How could they possibly be killed by an ordinary mortal like you?
"You're overthinking it."
She glanced at Yi Feng before walking back into the cave again.

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
