Chapter 322 did not happen.
He slowly released her without doing anything out of line.
Zhongli Yueluo warmed her small hands by the campfire, and her body gradually warmed up, but the night grew deeper and deeper.
Hearing no sound around them, it seemed they wouldn't find this place tonight. Sleepiness gradually crept in, and their eyelids began to droop.
Zhongli Yueluo glanced at Yan Jinyi, yawned, and asked, "Should we continue forward, or stay here tonight?"
"It's a dark and windy night, and the jungle is too dense to refer to the stars. Let's stay here; maybe they'll find us."
Yan Jinyi seemed to become very calm and reliable at this moment, placing his hands on his thighs.
"I'm sleepy, I'll rest for a while. If anything happens, remember to call me." Zhongli Yueluo took out a blanket from the hairpin he always carried.
Fortunately, all the items were still there, but there was no food, only ritual implements and some medicine.
Yan Jinyi saw Zhongli Yueluo casually wrapped in a blanket and about to collapse to the ground, and he knew how cold the night was.
“If you don’t wear something underneath, you’ll definitely catch a cold tomorrow.”
After saying that, he got up and walked to a distance, where he broke off some dry grass from the tall bushes and brought it back.
Spread the grass out like a mat, enough for at least two people to lie on, to keep out the dampness.
"Come here." The tone was quite domineering.
Zhongli Yueluo didn't argue with him and went back to sleep on the dry grass, which was indeed better than the hard ground.
Yan Jinyi pursed her lips, not expecting Zhongli Yueluo to be so unpretentious, if she really was a young lady from some clan.
In this situation, they would probably be crying loudly, let alone lying so calmly on the hay.
"Yue Luo, who exactly are you?"
Yan Jinyi also sat on the hay, looking at the dark sky, where starlight seemed to shine through the gaps in the trees.
"Who I am is not important. Don't say any more. I'm sleepy!"
Wrapped tightly in the blanket, curled up in a ball, he looked extremely pitiful on the hay.
Most of the Zhen clan members know a little about fire magic, so their bodies are very hot, but Zhongli Yueluo is different.
Strictly speaking, according to her attributes, she should be classified as Yin, as her body is always cold.
She huddled alone, growing colder and colder, not because of the heavy dew of the night.
Instead, she felt as if someone had drawn away the magical power from her spiritual sea from underground.
Then, she suddenly started shivering all over, and when she couldn't stand it anymore, she sat up.
They moved closer to the campfire, still wrapped tightly in the blanket.
Yan Jinyi seemed to notice that her aura was waning and asked, "Are you feeling cold?"
"I feel the magical power in the sea is surging, and it seems like it's being drawn away," Zhongli Yueluo answered truthfully.
It must have been caused by them accidentally entering this formation, but Yan Jinyi seems to be completely unharmed.
"The vines and trees around you all need magical power to support them, so you might have a lot of yin energy."
Without making a sound, he moved two inches closer to Zhongli Yueluo, his fingers secretly touching the back of her hand.
His hands were indeed warm, he thought. After this night, Zhongli Yueluo couldn't possibly not like him.
Using his magic to warm her body, Zhongli Yueluo felt the heat emanating from his fingertips spread throughout her entire body.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you."
With that smile, the firelight reflected on her face, casting dappled shadows that made her look like a dream.
Finally, he placed his entire hand on the back of Zhongli Yueluo's hand: "I didn't mean anything by it."
"Could this magic array be specifically designed for people who are not of the Zheng clan?"
She didn't pull her hand back, but instead her mind raced as she asked questions.
"That's how it should be."
Zhongli Yueluo sighed softly, then loosened the blanket that was wrapped tightly around herself and covered Yan Jinyi with it.
"I didn't mean anything by it, so please don't misunderstand and go around spreading rumors."
Zhongli Yueluo was so sleepy that she couldn't help but curl up on the hay, her eyes half-closed.
At that moment, she felt a warmth that flowed between the blankets, settling on her back in waves.
With a warm body nearby, she felt much more comfortable. Gradually, her hands and feet relaxed, and she actually fell asleep.
Yan Jinyi opened his eyes and saw that the surrounding trees had changed again, as if they were constantly moving.
No wonder they couldn't find the exit; it turns out the trees were moving along with them.
But he didn't want to go out now, he just looked at Zhongli Yueluo who was already fast asleep.
She was threatening him just now, but now she's sleeping next to him so unguarded.
If he were to do something now, she wouldn't be able to tell.
But he noticed that her sleeping face still had dimples, and his hand restlessly reached out from under the blanket.
He tucked the blanket around her; if he took advantage of her vulnerability, he would truly lose.
Soon after, Zhongli Yueluo started punching and kicking, as if she was having a nightmare.
Yan Jinyi considered whether to shake her awake, but she turned over and put one arm around his chest.
Then she stretched out one foot and placed it on his thigh, muttering something unintelligible.
He simply folded his hands over his stomach, stretched his legs straight out, and stared wide-eyed.
Thinking about this long night, when will dawn break?
He didn't sleep all night, and was kicked awake by Zhongli Yueluo several times just as he was about to fall asleep.
Finally, he simply got up and sat to one side, hugging his legs with both hands, jumping up and down while watching the campfire.
Finally, just as dawn was breaking, Zhongli Yuelu sneezed, waking herself from her sleep.
She sat up abruptly, realizing how careless she had been, sleeping so soundly. But she was certain that Yan Jinyi wouldn't dare do anything to her.
She closed her eyes and sensed his presence, but couldn't detect his scent on her. Then, she rubbed her eyes.
"I slept really well last night."
"It's just that you sleep well; your sleeping posture is quite ugly."
No one had ever spoken to her so directly before. Her cheeks puffed out: "Who told you to look?"
"I'm sleeping right next to you, and you won't let me see?"
Zhongli Yueluo was too lazy to argue with him, but instead looked around at the surroundings, which had undergone tremendous changes.
The towering forest of last night has now turned into an endless grassland, and they are sleeping in the grass now.
Her reaction was one of astonishment: "Your Zheng clan's magic is truly remarkable. Did I travel 100,000 miles in my dream last night?"
"It's probably just that the array wheel is spinning and we just happened to be moved here."
"That's interesting, I want to learn too."
This is a secret technique; how can someone just learn it as they please? Yan Jinyi felt embarrassed and poured cold water on her enthusiasm.
There was no reply.
Zhongli Yueluo stood up and took a breath. The air smelled of fresh grass, and only then did she gradually calm down.
Now things are even worse; we have no idea where we are or when we can go back.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard a rustling sound coming from the lush grass in the distance.
