Chapter 417: A Rare Moment for Two
Despite her anger, Long Yan felt a twinge of jealousy after hearing Xiao Yun's words. It was surprising that this oddball was thinking about someone else's beautiful wife at a time like this. The jealousy pricked at her heart like fine needles, making her feel quite uncomfortable.
Damn it, does this guy have nothing else to worry about besides beautiful women?
Long Yan couldn't help but furrow her brows, her pretty face clouded with frost. She shot Xiao Yun a fierce glare and squeezed out a sentence through clenched teeth: "You really are something else!"
"Heroes love beautiful women; that's perfectly normal!" Xiao Yun replied confidently.
Long Yan was infuriated and retorted, "You're just trying to find excuses for your shamelessness!"
Xiao Yun laughed heartily and said, "That's an ancient saying, sister-in-law!"
"You..." Long Yan hesitated, thinking it was better to let it go. What was the point of arguing with this guy? He could make her so angry she might bleed from the heart. She didn't want to waste any more energy on him.
At that moment, footsteps echoed from outside the cave, and Long Yan exclaimed, "Oh no, they're almost here!"
"Don't panic; I'll take you somewhere!"
With a calm expression, Xiao Yun took off his Storage Ring and placed it on a rock beside the fire. Seeing that Long Yan's wet clothes had dried, he gathered them up and stuffed them into a suitcase.
He grabbed the suitcase in one hand and took Long Yan's hand with the other. "Let's go!"
"Where to?"
As those people were about to rush into the cave, there was no way to retreat. Long Yan asked anxiously.
Xiao Yun placed a finger on the stone and said, "Let's temporarily go inside the ring to hide!"
"Go inside the ring?" Long Yan could hardly imagine that there was still a place to hide in there.
Is this guy out of his mind? He really isn't reliable at all!
"Let's go!" Xiao Yun, seeing Long Yan in a daze, pulled her along and with a flash of movement, they jumped into the Storage Ring.
At that moment, Winter Melon Lazy Person's brother, along with a group of people, had already rushed into the cave.
"Where are they?" One of them entered the cave and looked around.
Winter Melon Lazy Person's brother, named Winter Melon Madman—this Japanese person's name is indeed quite strange. He approached the campfire and noticed some leftover roasted meat. On a nearby stone, he found a ring. He picked it up and examined it closely; although it didn't seem special, its ancient design made him think it must have been dropped by Xiao Yun or the woman beside him. So, he casually put it on his own hand.
"This Xiao must have realized we were chasing him and definitely hasn't run far. Fortunately, our people are still surrounding the area below the mountain; he can't escape. Let's pursue!" Winter Melon Madman commanded.
"Hi!" The group responded in unison and rushed out of the cave.
However, Winter Melon Madman picked up the leftover meat again, sniffed it close to his nose, then dipped it in some seasonings from a few plates before smelling it again. After seeming to relax, he stuffed it into his mouth and began to eat.
—This guy actually has the ability to sniff out poison.
"Uh, this taste is really not bad! This Xiao really knows how to enjoy himself!" Winter Melon Madman muttered to himself.
But little did he know that this pork leg was something Xiao Yun had casually taken from his brother's house.
Speaking of which, Winter Melon Madman is not only a famous architect in Japan but also an operative in the military and a capable subordinate of Watanabe Masao.
His brother, Winter Melon Lazy Person, is responsible for cultivating the Black Tortoise Water God Pearl, while he specializes in building houses underwater for the Japanese military to prepare for long-term settlement and establishment of military bases beneath the ocean to launch attacks on other countries.
What the Winter Melon Madman did not expect was that Xiao Yun arrived in Japan and, as his first stop, stayed at his brother's house, stealing all the Water God Pearls from those women.
Afterward, when the Winter Melon Madman received a call from his brother, he anticipated that Xiao Yun would come here. He immediately reported to Watanabe Masao and mobilized a group of people to capture Xiao Yun alive in order to retrieve the Water God Pearls. However, he never expected that not only did they fail to capture Xiao Yun, but he also managed to steal the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl, resulting in the destruction of the Underwater Dragon Palace that he had painstakingly built over many years.
Of course, he was unaware of the connection between the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl and the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror; he only thought it was a Calming Pearl that could also serve a stabilizing function.
Regardless, that pearl was crucial for him.
When Watanabe Masao heard his report, he flew into a rage and ordered him to capture Xiao Yun alive at all costs. Japan is a country prone to earthquakes, and one day, a sudden major earthquake could sink this Island Nation into the Pacific Ocean.
It is easy to imagine how important this pearl is for Japan as an Island Nation.
Originally, according to Watanabe Masao's plan, after finding Xiao Yun, they would secretly track him and wait until he located the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror before taking action against him.
But given the current situation, that plan was no longer feasible; they had to retrieve that pearl first...
"Hmph, Xiao Yun, let's see where you can escape!" the Winter Melon Madman sneered quietly.
Little did he know that Xiao Yun and Long Yan were currently inside the Storage Ring on his finger!
At this moment, Long Yan was almost completely petrified after being brought into the ring by Xiao Yun.
Looking around at what seemed like an endless expanse inside, she felt as if this space was incredibly vast.
What surprised her even more was that there was a pool of water here, surrounded by a pile of oddly shaped stones. As for whether there were other things, she could not see them. In any case, she felt as if she had suddenly jumped from one reality into another space detached from Earth.
She approached the edge of the pool and reached out to test the water; it was warm.
"How can there be a pool inside this ring?" Long Yan asked, stunned.
Little did she know, the pool was built by the little bell for those two women from the Demonic Sect.
These matters were too bizarre, and Xiao Yun knew he couldn't explain it clearly to Long Yan at the moment. Even if he told her, she probably wouldn't believe it. In a society where technology is so advanced, discussing such things would undoubtedly sound like mythology to an ordinary person.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "I built this so it's convenient for bathing in the future."
What did he mean, bathing inside this ring?
Long Yan felt as if she was hearing a fantastical story.
In the short time she had spent with Xiao Yun, she realized that he brought her too many surprises.
When she returned to her country, if she told Old Dragon about these things, he would surely think she had gone mad—could such things really exist in this world?
"Xiao Yun, I noticed you left the ring on a rock in the cave. What if those Japanese agents take it?" Long Yan asked worriedly.
Xiao Yun's Spiritual Sense scanned the area and he laughed, "Don't worry, the ring is already on Winter Melon Lazy Person's brother's hand!"
"Ah, then..." Long Yan suddenly covered her mouth with her hand and dared not make another sound.
Xiao Yun noticed this and felt amused; he understood that Long Yan was worried their voices would be heard by those Japanese people.
He chuckled and said, "Yan'er, don't worry. I've cast a spell on the ring; no matter how much noise we make inside, people outside won't hear us."
"Oh, is that so?"
Long Yan was secretly taken aback; this guy could even cast spells?
She asked again, "Can you see the people outside?"
Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then why can't I see them?" Long Yan asked, feeling frustrated.
Xiao Yun smiled and replied, "My eyes have the function of Spiritual Sense. You don't have this Spiritual Sense, so of course you can't see them."
Long Yan was once again dumbfounded. Did he have Spiritual Sense?
Could it be that he was a god?
She looked at Xiao Yun like a curious child, examining him from head to toe.
This guy was lazily leaning against those oddly shaped stones, a cigarette in his mouth, squinting his eyes while smiling back at Long Yan.
"Xiao Yun, this ring is on the hand of Winter Melon Lazy Person's brother. How are we going to get it back later?" Long Yan realized that her intelligence was simply not enough in front of Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun chuckled and said, "I just asked him to keep it for me temporarily. Whenever I want to retrieve it, it's a small matter!"
"Alright, beautiful, let's not talk about them anymore. Look how wonderful our little world is here, with no one to disturb us. How about this: you take off your clothes and go into the pool, and I'll join you for a bath in the ring!" Xiao Yun suddenly suggested to her.
