The message was sent back to "White Sand Island," and it would be surprising if the people on the island didnât respond.
Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi found a restaurant and sat on the second floor by a window. They opened the window and looked at the sparse streets below with few pedestrians, feeling somewhat lost.
After inquiring with the restaurant staff earlier, it confirmed Li Yunjingâs guess.
Some of the clans, sects, and loose cultivators who had previously fled had returned long ago.
The events at the "Wave Watching Sea Pavilion" had already spread throughout the island.
The news was abuzz, filled with both truths and falsehoods. No one knew exactly how many people from their sects and clans had died or their identities.
Currently, without the return of the experts from various sects and clans, everyone was on edge.
The major sects and clans had gathered their forces, retreating to their clans, sects, and some important industries.
Almost no cultivators from these groups were moving about.
Even some of the second generation individuals normally seen on the streets were absent.
As for the loose cultivators, over a thousand had died, causing a significant impact. Many knew that a storm was coming, leading them to either leave "White Sand Island" or lay low, finding a residence to stay and wait for further developments.
The atmosphere on the island was grim, and the market, once bustling with stalls run by loose cultivators, was now empty.
Even some small and medium-sized shops had closed, except for a few well-backed establishments that dared to remain open during this special time. Others did not have the courage.
Without order, the wealthier parts of "White Sand Island" naturally became targets for the plunder of loose cultivators.
It was likely that there were already daring individuals secretly organizing, ready to strike as soon as chaos broke out on "White Sand Island."
As a result, this restaurantâs business was also very bleak.
The spacious second floor was empty except for the table by the window occupied by Li Yunjing. The restaurant felt deserted and cold.
"Todayâs âWhite Sand Islandâ is really desolate!"
As she savored the restaurantâs dishes, Yu Yunyi found them incredibly delicious.
It wasnât that the food was particularly well-prepared, but after experiencing such a dangerous time, she found life on land to be extremely enjoyable.
"Once the returning cultivators arrive, âWhite Sand Islandâ will immediately undergo a reshuffle."
"But this matter has nothing to do with us. After resting for a day, we will leave here and return to âWanghai Cityâ."
Li Yunjing raised a cup of wine and drank with Yu Yunyi, sighing as he spoke.
"Yes! Leaving this chaotic place early is also good."
Yu Yunyi smiled as she also sipped her wine with Li Yunjing.
The wine was quite good, very rich and fragrant, filling the entire second floor with a strong aroma.
"This time, it was really perilous! I didnât expect the âCyan Cloud Shipâ to be destroyed as well, alas!"
Yu Yunyi sighed, thinking of the treasure worth millions of spirit stones!
It was all gone just like that!
Yu Yunyi felt heartbroken, but knowing she and Li Yunjing were both safe made her feel slightly better.
"We gained quite a bit this time! Once we return to the Sect, weâll go straight to the âCelestial Craft Hallâ and get another âCyan Cloud Shipâ! And we need an improved version! The best one!"
Li Yunjing hurriedly comforted her.
With the destruction of the âCyan Cloud Ship,â Li Yunjing bore significant responsibility, but fortunately, they had not done a losing deal this time.
Their gains were enough to compensate for the loss of many treasures.
For Yu Yunyiâs loss, Li Yunjing was determined to give extra compensation!
"It wasnât easy to gather some resources, so letâs spend them carefully!"
Yu Yunyi felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing Li Yunjingâs words, her gaze towards him brimming with affection.
However, Yu Yunyi still declined Li Yunjingâs suggestion.
Since becoming Dao companions with Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi had been very considerate of him.
She didnât want to deplete Li Yunjingâs resources, affecting his own cultivation.
Though they earned a lot of resources, their expenses were also enormous.
There were too many places where money was needed.
The âCyan Cloud Shipâ was expensive, and an enhanced version even more so!
It wasnât Yu Yunyiâs intention to exhaust Li Yunjingâs resources just for a âCyan Cloud Ship.â
"It must be the best! Think about it, the money spent will be worth it! Without the âCyan Cloud Ship,â we would have died long ago!"
Understanding Yu Yunyiâs thoughts, Li Yunjing smiled softly.
His tone was gentle but resolute.
Li Yunjing was determined on this matter.
It was unchangeable!
"Alright!"
Feeling Li Yunjingâs determination, Yu Yunyi smiled and agreed.
For something like this, Yu Yunyi did not want to refuse Li Yunjingâs kindness.
After a good meal, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi went directly to a room in the back hall of the restaurant to rest for the night.
Inside the room, there was a large floral-carved sandalwood bed in the corner, a square table in the center, and a simple dressing table.
Besides these, there were no other furnishings.
Yu Yunyi felt a bit tired, mainly from the mental strain.
The continuous battles had kept her nerves on edge.
Now, with a chance to relax, Yu Yunyi naturally removed her outer clothes and skirt, boldly revealing her graceful figure before Li Yunjing.
"You should join me! Donât meditate tonight!"
Yu Yunyiâs eyes seemed to shimmer with tears, and her voice was sweet with a faint husky magnetism.
It was full of an ambiguous charm.
After saying this, Yu Yunyi, wearing only her inner garments, took out her bedding from her "storage ring" and made the bed.
Li Yunjing saw Yu Yunyi gently lift her jade-like foot, step onto the bedâs edge, and slip into the blankets.
"Gulp!"
Swallowing hard, Li Yunjing felt his mouth dry and his body heat up like a furnace.
In the small room, Yu Yunyiâs unique body fragrance further stimulated his senses.
Li Yunjing found his resistance towards Yu Yunyi weakening.
"Hurry up and come here!"
Seeing Li Yunjingâs awkwardness, Yu Yunyi giggled, reaching out her glossy, jade-like arm from under the covers, beckoning him.
"This is killing me! Since itâs like this, thereâs no choice but to accept it!"
Li Yunjingâs mind buzzed as his body temperature soared. He quickly undressed and slid under the covers like an eel.
Smelling the faint scent from Yu Yunyiâs luggage, Li Yunjing held Yu Yunyi tightly, thinking, "Donât think about anything else! Nothing else matters!"
That night, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi stayed close together. Yu Yunyi was soon lying limp on Li Yunjing, breathing evenly and deeply asleep...
The "Profound Awareness Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skill" obtained from Feng Xueting was also explained and taught to Yu Yunyi by Li Yunjing.
Yu Yunyi was very smart, learning quickly from being unfamiliar to becoming proficient, and with just a few practices, she successfully operated the divine skill.
That night, Li Yunjing felt refreshed as he taught the "Profound Awareness Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skill," without a hint of tiredness.
While one taught and the other learned, they not only avoided fatigue but also relieved the tension of the past few days through learning.
The "Profound Awareness Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skill" was especially beneficial to both Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi.
Yin and Yang joined as one, comprehending the rationality of human relations, which was the Heavenly Dao.
After a night of dual cultivation, by the third watch, Yu Yunyi finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Li Yunjing felt more energetic than usual. He looked at Yu Yunyiâs delicate body and decided not to disturb her, instead dressing, covering Yu Yunyi with a blanket, and quietly stepping outside to stand in the courtyard, gazing at the stars and the moon.
Whether in experience or physique, or realm, if Li Yunjing really wanted to satisfy his desires, Yu Yunyi wouldnât be able to keep up.
Naturally, Li Yunjing couldnât bring himself to exhaust his beloved for his own desires.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he breathed deeply, drawing in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, channeling it into his body.
