A World Worth Protecting

“Ah?” When he suddenly heard Li Wan’er’s words in the darkness, Wang Baole was taken aback. He became alert and said probingly.

“Li Wan’er, someone should be coming to save us. You… don’t think about silly things. We haven’t reached the moment for one last hurrah before our deaths.”

“Enough with your nonsense! Take off your clothes quickly!” Li Wan’er was slightly annoyed, her voice turning stern. Her strong-headed nature, under the pressure and annoyance she was experiencing, could no longer be suppressed as it burst right out of her now.

“Why should I? You’re cold, but so am I.” Hearing Li Wan’er’s words, Wang Baole was unhappy. Even though he was rugged and big-sized, he felt the same kind of chills. Even though he wasn’t as cold as Li Wan’er was, but if he really were to strip, he would definitely be frozen stiff in a short period of time.

Seeing how uncooperative Wang Baole was, Li Wan’er frowned. Her eyes had grown accustomed to the darkness, and even though she couldn’t make out the details, she could sense where Wang Baole was, and she stared at him coldly. After a moment, she took a deep breath, forcing down her anger as she spoke calmly.

“Wang Baole, if this were to go on, we would freeze to death before anyone came to save us. Therefore, we need to keep our bodies warm!”

“And clothing shouldn’t be used for keeping warm!” Li Wan’er spoke word by word, taking the initiative to take off her clothes first. What followed was a sound similar to paper being shredded; Li Wan’er was resolutely taking off her clothing even though she was shaking from the cold.

However, she was unaware that… even though Wang Baole’s vision became slightly less clear than before due to the loss of Spirit Qi, he could still vaguely make out the big picture, just not in detail.

Instantly, a crystal-like figure appeared in his eyes. Similar to her back view, which he had seen previously, Li Wan’er had such a sexy figure. Even though she still had her bra on, Wang Baole felt that her bra was undersized. Her breasts were plump and shaped provocatively, and the sight made his temperature rise and breath quicken.

Hmm? So this can generate warmth… Wang Baole cleared his throat, thinking about what to do in his mind. He sighed, as if still hesitating, before finally gritting his teeth.

Fine! I’m saving a life here! With such a noble revelation, Wang Baole stood up immediately, stripping all his clothes off at a speed much faster than Li Wan’er.

Of course, he kept his undergarments on.

“What’s next? Do you come, or do I go? My cultivation isn’t as high as yours, so I can’t see anything clearly. I cannot find your location. Where are you?” Wang Baole blinked, his only thought was that his time in the underground cave was growing too exciting…

Li Wan’er believed Wang Baole’s declaration that he couldn’t see clearly. That was because she felt that her level of cultivation was indeed higher than Wang Baole’s. Since she could only vaguely see the outlines and images, which appeared dull in her eyes, it would be worse for Wang Baole.

In reality, that was also the reason that made her determined to warm each other up. After seeing the naked Wang Baole, who sat down with his legs crossed after stripping his clothes, Li Wan’er gritted her teeth and rose, still shivering, and approached him. The nearer she was to him, the more she felt the warmth from his body.

Like a fire source, it made Li Wan’er pick up her pace at an increasing speed. As for Wang Baole, his heart was palpitating furiously, and his throat turned dry. He was hyperventilating, as what appeared before his eyes was too much of a shock.

Li Wan’er’s figure was the sexiest one out of all that Wang Baole had seen in his life, whether they were covered with clothing or not. She had long slender legs, beady white skin, and a voluptuous hour-glass figure. She neared him, slowly at first before speedily approaching him, and sat directly in his arms, her body freezing cold.

Her cold body contrasted very clearly with his heated body, a contrast that made Wang Baole tremble and Li Wan’er instinctively hug him close.

“Erm…” In Wang Baole’s life, this was one of the few times where he was thrown into confusion. He raised his hands, unsure of where to place them. His breathing also quickened as he opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

“Now, you can cover our bodies with the clothes,” Li Wan’er took a deep breath and said coldly.

Wang Baole coughed and slowly responded. He thought of how self-sacrificial he was, just like the Buddha. With that thought, he instantly felt that he was doing a noble deed. He quickly covered himself and Li Wan’er with the clothing that was strewn around them. After that, he rested his hands, instinctively placing them where Li Wan’er was most voluptuous.

Li Wan’er frowned, an icy look appearing in her eyes. She was about to rage, but she felt that Wang Baole’s large hands were extremely warm; therefore, she remained silent, turning her head and ignoring him.

Just like that, both Li Wan’er and Wang Baole stayed silent as time gradually went by. Eventually, as they generated warmth for each other, their temperatures increased. That allowed them to resist the coldness of the surroundings, and their scents began to spread towards each other as they hugged tightly.

A pleasant scent wafted continuously into Wang Baole’s nose. He had willed himself to keep his heart rate from skyrocketing, but as he smelled the scent, his heart palpitated furiously again. Therefore, his hands instantly squeezed, and he immediately snapped out of his daze. He wanted to stop when he realized that Li Wan’er’s breathing also quickened. He lowered his head to take an inconspicuous look and realized that Li Wan’er’s face had turned redder than usual.

This scene, coupled with Li Wan’er’s reaction, was like a devil that instantly emerged from Wang Baole’s body. He blinked his eyes and thought about whether it was an encouragement from Li Wan’er.

Forget it. I’m doing all this to save her. It’s no big deal sacrificing myself. After all, I, Wang Baole, am not a selfish person! With those thoughts, Wang Baole planned to continue but soon realized that Li Wan’er’s reddened face seemed to be showing signs of returning to normal. Therefore, he subconsciously squeezed his hands again, and instantly, Li Wan’er’s body trembled as her face reddened again.

What’s going on? Wang Baole noticed Li Wan’er, with her face reddened and her eyes shut, remaining silent. His heart beat faster, and though he hadn’t planned to, his large hands began exploring.

Li Wan’er’s body froze instantly, but she remained silent and didn’t reject him. That made Wang Baole begin to breathe heavily, and before long, Li Wan’er’s usual cold voice reverberated in the underground cave.

“If you don’t wish to see a part of yourself missing after we are rescued, then you can continue!”

That voice was so chilling that Wang Baole froze instantly when he heard it. He cleared his throat and didn’t dare to continue after thinking it through carefully…

Just like that, the duo fell silent in the noiseless underground cave. What was left was the continuously reverberating sounds of their breathing and the howling outside, which made them hug each other even tighter.

The passing of time also seemed to slow down. After a brief moment, Li Wan’er suddenly spoke.

“Talk about yourself. I heard that you almost killed Li Xiu on the moon?”

“Me killing him? That fella thinks that I am a pushover and wanted to kill me. I was magnanimous to set him free!” Wang Baole was unhappy hearing Li Wan’er’s question. After thinking about it, he told Li Wan’er about what he had experienced on the moon, save for some crucial information about himself.

In this way, the duo conversed while seeking warmth from each other in the underground cave. Wang Baole shared first, followed by Li Wan’er. Eventually, a night passed.

On the morning of the second day, as the blood-colored fog dissipated gradually, Wang Baole and Li Wan’er immediately felt that the Spirit Qi within their bodies recovering at a fast pace.

At the same time, with the recovery of the Spirit Qi, their vision slowly returned to clarity from a blur, and from a dull view to a bright one…

The recovery of Spirit Qi made it unnecessary for both of them to seek warmth from each other. Therefore, Li Wan’er left the embrace of Wang Baole without any qualms. She stood up, not care whether Wang Baole was looking at her, and, with her back facing him, put on her clothes.

Looking at Li Wan’er’s back view, Wang Baole’s heart, which had already returned to a state of calmness, began to beat furiously again. He hurriedly put on his clothes. After the two of them were fully and neatly clothed, Li Wan’er turned around, appearing just like she did before with her sexy figure, cold attitude, and a distant gaze which seems to push everyone away. She returned to the arrogant ice mountain that wouldn’t melt, just as she was before.

“Wang Baole, if you were ever to leak out a single bit of what happened here…” Li Wan’er paused as a chill flashed across her eyes. She raised her right hand and smashed the wall loudly, and immediately, the rocks of the wall turned into ash. Her cultivation, which was on the level of perfected Foundation Establishment, rose to that of pre-Core Formation and instantly erupted.

Wang Baole frowned as he sneered in his heart. He felt that he should be saying that instead, but Li Wan’er had stolen his words. He wanted to speak, but at that moment, a gigantic battle axe appeared in Li Wan’er’s hands. The battle axe was… a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament!

Looking at the Dharmic Armament, Wang Baole took a deep breath and blinked. He didn’t think that it would be embarrassing to obey right now, so he slapped his chest.

“Rest assured! I will never tell anyone about this even if they were to beat me to death!”
