Chapter 131: Taking Advantage of Someone’s Danger
Yu Wan could feel that he was very close to her, and his breathing was even and long. Yu Wan was not a very pampered girl, but compared to being trapped alone in this cliff, she felt at ease with someone accompanying her.
Yu Wan moved to Yan Jiuchao’s side. The cave was not big to begin with, so she touched Yan Jiuchao’s arm. She felt his body heat through the layers of clothes.
Yu Wan was a little angry when she thought of those secret manuals. However, on account that he had risked his life to save her, Yu Wan decided to let it go.
“Young Master Yan.” Yu Wan called out softly.
Her voice was not loud, but it was still unexpected in the silent cave. However, Yan Jiuchao did not react, but the little snow fox on her lap was woken up. The little snow fox looked around in confusion with a tuft of curly hair on its head. It did not notice anything amiss and continued to lie on Yu Wan’s lap to sleep.
Yu Wan listened to the even breathing of the human and fox and thought to herself,?am I the only one?
The cold wind blew over, mixed with the cold drizzle from time to time. Yu Wan sat for a while longer, her hands and feet cold. She gently touched him with her arm, but there was still no reaction. She blinked and slowly leaned her little head against his shoulder. However, just as she was about to lean forward, she paused.
Wasn’t it too shameless to take advantage of others when they were in danger although it was only for warmth??As this thought flashed through her mind, Yu Wan could no longer lean her head against him.
Just as Yu Wan was about to sit up straight, a slender hand suddenly reached over from the front and gently caressed Yu Wan’s face, pressing her head onto his shoulder.
… .
Yu Wan thought that she would not be able to sleep, but when she woke up, it was already dawn. She clearly remembered that she was leaning on his shoulder, but why was she sitting on his lap when she opened her eyes? She was even lying in his arms—
Yu Wan’s cheeks burned. Just as she was about to stand up, Yan Jiuchao woke up. She fell into a pair of quiet and cold eyes, like a cold pond that had been frozen for ten thousand years. Just one look was enough to make people shiver.
Yu Wan had never seen such a strange Yan Jiuchao before and was subconsciously stunned. However, in the next second, the coldness in Yan Jiuchao’s eyes disappeared without a trace, replaced by disdain and arrogance. “What? Isn’t it enough that you took advantage of me for a night? You can’t bear to get up?”

Yu Wan’s breathing immediately stopped. “Who took advantage of you? Who suffered a loss in this kind of thing? Moreover, you were the one who made me—”
Yu Wan looked at their current posture and really couldn’t say the words “made me lean against you to sleep”. After all, this was no longer leaning against each other, but hugging.
“I have a good sleeping posture,” Yu Wan said confidently, indicating that she did not mess around.
Yan Jiuchao raised his eyebrows and sized her up from head to toe. “Hands.”
Yu Wan let go of his neck.
Yan Jiuchao said, “The other one.”
“…” Yu Wan took out her left hand that was inside his shirt.
Yu Wan stood up from his lap.
Yan Jiuchao: “Belt.”
Yu Wan took out a belt with golden edges from her back and handed it to him without batting an eyelid.
… .
Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen found the two of them after they woke up. Yu Wan had also found out that the cliff was too steep after she asked him. Even an expert like the secret guard would find it difficult to come down unscathed. She did not know how Yan Jiuchao had the guts to bet everything on one throw. He first threw the little snow fox down and then jumped down himself.
Although the Qianji Box was useful, it was not omnipotent. If the iron claw caught a loose rock, not to mention Yu Wan, Yan Jiuchao would also fall to his death.
“It’s too difficult to go up from here. It’s closer to the bottom of the cliff.” Shadow Thirteen nailed the rope to the cave, and Shadow Six went around to the bottom of the cliff to receive them.
Shadow Thirteen had already gone down once and cleared all the obstacles along the way.
The three of them successfully reached the bottom of the cliff.
“Young Master, Miss Yu, are you alright?” Shadow Six came up to them.
Yu Wan shook her head. “I’m fine.”
“Where are we now?” Yan Jiuchao asked.
Shadow Six waved his hand and pointed. “We’re north of Lotus Flower Village. After walking out of this valley, we’ll cross that mountain and follow a small stream south. We’ll be able to return to the village. By the way, Miss Yu, how did you fall off the cliff?”
“I met Yu Zigui,” Yu Wan said truthfully.
“It’s that guy again! He’s still alive after being stabbed by Shadow Thirteen. He’s really lucky!” Shadow Six said and frowned. “But Miss Yu, why does he keep chasing after you?”
Yu Wan said helplessly, “He thinks I have what he wants.”
Shadow Six was about to ask what it was when he suddenly stepped on something and broke it with a crack. Then, a spear suddenly shot out from the forest behind.
Yu Wan happened to be standing in the direction of the spear.
The speed of the spear was unbelievably fast, and the angle was even more tricky and difficult. It was too late for Shadow Six to fly over to intercept it, and using hidden weapons would hurt Young Master standing in the middle. “Miss Yu! Be careful!”
In a flash, Yan Jiuchao pulled Yu Wan away. However, he could not avoid it.
Just as the spear was about to pierce through his chest, the spear was suddenly repelled by a huge force. It flew a few times in the air and stabbed heavily into the ground!
This was not a sneak attack, but a trap set by hunters to hunt dire beasts. It was precisely because of this that Shadow Six didn’t notice it in advance.
“Young Master, are you alright?” Shadow Thirteen rushed over.
Shadow Six looked at him with relief. “Fortunately, you arrived in time.”
Shadow Thirteen went to retrieve his dart, but he was surprised to see that there was no dart of his own on the spear, only a leaf was inserted into the body of the spear. Could it be that… it wasn’t his dart that blocked the spear, but this leaf? How powerful must this person be to be able to unleash such power?
More importantly, he did not sense the aura of a fifth person here at all. This could only mean that the other party’s martial arts were far above his.
Who was this person? Why was he helping them?
