Ziyan received silent admiration from Ling Yuxuan, who had been observing her closely, even nodding slightly in approval.
At the same time, Ling Yuxuan snapped her fingers towards the top of the cliff.
Two shadowy figures wearing Golden Masks jumped down from a distance and landed beside Ling Yuxuan. One of them handed her a water bottle made from animal skin.
Ling Yuxuan nodded as she accepted the water bottle, opened the cap, and brought it to Ziyan's lips, using her sleeve to wipe the sweat from Ziyan's forehead.
Ziyan happily tilted her head back and took a big gulp. Then she let out a long sigh, savoring the sweetness of the spring water and its refreshing taste.
Unable to help herself, she exclaimed, "Sweet—"
It was only when Ling Yuxuan lightly laughed and hung the water bottle at her waist that Ziyan looked at the Masked Man without surprise.
Instead, she turned to Ling Yuxuan and asked, "Why do they wear Golden Masks?"
"This? Because their identities in the outside world must remain confidential for now," Ling Yuxuan explained calmly. She then asked with concern, "Are you tired? Shall we go over there to rest?"
Meanwhile, the six people standing not far away had already begun to clean up the fallen branches and leaves, moving the broken limbs back to their original place.
At this point, Ziyan finally recalled what she had seen upon entering the forest—the many injured trees and how those fallen branches had long since disappeared. It was undoubtedly the work of these individuals and those six Masked Men!
With a clear understanding in her heart, Ziyan blinked her large, captivating eyes at Ling Yuxuan, secretly thinking: It must have been quite lively here last night!
Ling Yuxuan raised an eyebrow and did not intend to explain further. He took the small hand of Beloved Child and leaped towards the hot spring, reaching their destination in just a few bounds.
Upon arriving at the edge of the hot spring, Ziyan felt a bit uneasy. Wasn't there more than just her and Ling Yuxuan in this Mountain Valley? During her previous visits to the hot spring, had she been seen by others besides Ling Yuxuan?
She looked up at Ling Yuxuan, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "If we bathe here, will they be watching us?"
Hearing this, Ling Yuxuan couldn't help but chuckle lightly, feeling somewhat speechless. In the end, he could only respond helplessly, "They are my Death Warriors and also my Bodyguards; they naturally follow me closely. However, when I am having private time with you, they will keep their distance. They wouldn't dare approach without my permission. Don't worry, little one."
After saying this, he pulled Ziyan into his arms, kissed her forehead, and added, "I'll be right back."
He turned and leaped towards the direction of Waterfall Cave.
Ziyan squatted alone by the hot spring, watching the milky white bubbles rising from the water. She felt a bit bored and began to daydream.
However, it wasn't long before Ling Yuxuan returned with a bathrobe in one hand and some firewood in the other.
He whistled a long note, and soon three Masked Men appeared, each carrying various ingredients. There were several kinds of fish among them.
All the ingredients were prepared and skewered with branches. Among them were even two skewers of snake meat that had been peeled and de-headed, making it unrecognizable in terms of species, along with a few Skins and a piece of oilcloth.
They laid the oilcloth on the ground and placed all the ingredients on it.
After completing this task, the three men jumped up almost simultaneously and quickly disappeared from sight.
Ziyan's eyes lit up as she approached the oilcloth. She casually picked up a Skin, removed the cork, and was surprised to catch a whiff of a sweet wine aroma.
At that moment, Ziyan poured a little into her palm to take a look; it was thick juice with a few drops of rice: sweet Rice Wine made from local glutinous rice.
Ah! In this scene, with the spring warmth and the slight chill of the Night Breeze, being able to drink Sweet Rice Wine while eating roasted meat and soaking in a hot spring, life feels truly delightful!
Thinking of this, a faint and beautiful smile appeared at the corners of Ziyan's mouth.
"Change your clothes and get in the water!"
The voice of Ling Yuxuan rang in her ears.
Ziyan replied with an "mm" and walked over to take the clothes from his hands, but she didn't move, instead staring intently at him with her big eyes.
Ling Yuxuan smiled slightly and shook his head, turning away as he said, "Alright, you change now?"
Huh? Is this okay?
She silently cursed the naughty boy, Monster!
But she turned around, as if thinking of something, and reminded him, "No peeking."
From somewhere behind her, she heard a response: "Okay."
Then Ziyan quickly changed her clothes in just a few moments. Ling Yuxuan also took off his shirt and turned back to her.
He squatted down beside her to help her take off her cloth shoes, then picked up the slender Ziyan in a princess carry and together they stepped into the Hot Spring Pool.
Ziyan no longer wanted to struggle. She wrapped her arms around Ling Yuxuan's neck and comfortably nestled in his embrace, closing her eyes. Whether she was sinking into slumber or simply dozing off didn't matter; she just wanted to stay there.
Ling Yuxuan looked at the tired girl and made no movements, afraid of disturbing her.
After a while, a faint sound of her gentle breathing reached him. Ling Yuxuan couldn't help but smile wryly, recalling the first time he brought her to the hot springs and left her alone, resulting in her nearly drowning. She must have been too exhausted to stay awake, and it was probably a cramp that almost caused the accident.
Thinking of this, Ling Yuxuan shook his head, resolving that he could never let her bathe alone again.
After a long time, Ziyan had indeed slept for quite a while. Ling Yuxuan finally couldn't hold back any longer. After swallowing hard due to his dry throat, he gently pressed his lips against the still-sleeping girl’s lips. At first, it was just a light kiss, but as he continued, he couldn't resist the temptation to take it further.
Ling Yuxuan began to pry open Ziyan's lips with his tongue and then passionately started to savor the sweetness of her mouth.
At the same time, this fervent kiss enveloped them both, overwhelming and assertive, causing the girl who had been sleeping soundly to awaken completely in a near-asphyxiated state.
In an instant, Ziyan felt utterly lost, melting into his tenderness.
Just as she felt like she was running out of oxygen, she gasped for air, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion—she also sensed that one of his hands seemed to be unintentionally caressing a place it shouldn't have.
Suddenly, Ziyan couldn't help but shiver, her mind snapping back from its initial blankness and dizziness.
Then unexpectedly, before she even realized it herself, a loud and crisp slap had already landed on Ling Yuxuan's face.
