26: Aunt, what's wrong with you?

Outside the cave, Ning Yuan was organizing the gains from today's battle.

"My strength is similar to that of Duan Yanqing, especially since I possess an ultimate skill like Bei Ming Divine Skill. I should have an advantage, but I lack combat experience, while Duan Yanqing is full of it, which is why we reached a stalemate."

"However, I can break all methods with brute force. As long as my Internal Skill is a bit deeper, I can defeat him with overwhelming power."

"But this requires a sufficiently large gap in Internal Skill to achieve."

"I still need to Cultivate a few other martial arts."

"Six Meridian Divine Sword..."

Ning Yuan secretly calculated.

Compared to I Yang Finger, the power of Six Meridian Divine Sword was clearly stronger.

Just then, Ning Yuan heard shouts coming from inside the cave behind him.

"Young Master Murong?"

Inside the cave, Dao Baifeng called softly.

The firelight made her cheeks flush slightly.

"Sanren?"

Ning Yuan turned around and asked in confusion.

"I'm really sorry, I can't bandage the external wound on my shoulder myself. I might need Young Master Murong's help."

Dao Baifeng said with some embarrassment.

After all, she had just told Ning Yuan to leave, and now she needed him to help her.

However, she quickly calmed down with another thought, "We are all people of the Jianghu; there's no need to act like a timid young woman."

"So that's how it is."

Ning Yuan saw Dao Baifeng, who was disheveled inside the cave, smiled slightly, and walked in.

"For such a small matter, Sanren, you can just say it directly."

Ning Yuan took a piece of snow-white sleeve that Dao Baifeng handed him.

His gaze couldn't help but glance at Dao Baifeng's arm.

A section of the white inner lining was missing from the sleeve.

Dao Baifeng was slightly embarrassed, but she still suppressed the complex feelings in her heart, turned sideways, revealing her jade-like shoulder.

On her shoulder, near her chest, there were three striking blood marks, marring its beauty.

Ning Yuan squatted down and wrapped the sleeve in his hand around Dao Baifeng's shoulder, his fingers occasionally touching Dao Baifeng's snow-white skin.

Dao Baifeng felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and her legs actually felt a bit weak.

"What's going on?"

Dao Baifeng was momentarily flustered. Although she had left the Prince's Mansion a few years after Duan Yu was born and lived alone in Yuxu Temple.

But it shouldn't be to the point of her legs going weak just from a man's touch.

Feeling the warmth transmitted from his palm, Dao Baifeng was momentarily feeling a bit restless.

"Ah!"

As Ning Yuan gently tightened the sleeve bandage, Dao Baifeng couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

After making a sound, Dao Baifeng quickly covered her lips, her face flushed with shyness, and she awkwardly turned her head away, not daring to look at Ning Yuan.

"What's wrong, Sanren?"

Ning Yuan pretended not to know, quickly grasped Dao Baifeng's fair jade wrist and asked.

"I'm fine."

Dao Baifeng shook her head repeatedly, turned around, and forced a smile onto her face, "Thank you, Young Master Murong, this time. If it weren't for you, our mother and son would probably have fallen into the hands of the Four Evils."

"I don't know if Yuer has returned to Dali yet."

Dao Baifeng said, then showed a worried expression.

"Don't worry, Sanren, with Wan Mei there, she will definitely escort him back safely."

Ning Yuan comforted her softly.

"That's right. Oh, Young Master Murong, you don't have to call me Sanren. My real name is Dao Baifeng."

Dao Baifeng suddenly said.

"Brother Duan and I hit it off immediately and treat each other as brothers. If Senior doesn't mind, how about I address Senior as Auntie?"

Ning Yuan immediately clasped his fists and said.

"That would naturally be good, but it would inevitably make Young Master Murong humble himself."

Dao Baifeng's face also showed a smile.

"How can this be considered humbling myself?"

Ning Yuan waved his hands repeatedly, then continued, "Since I call Sanren Auntie, then Auntie should no longer call me Young Master or anything like that. Just call me by my name."

"Murong—Fu?"

After muttering a few times, Dao Baifeng said, "Then I'll call you Murong!"

"Of course you can."

Ning Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Murong, I remember your family is in Gusu. I wonder if there's anything special about your long journey to Yunnan this time?"

Dao Baifeng then asked curiously.

"Nothing much. It's just that an elder in my family was born here and hasn't returned for many years. I came to retrieve some things for her, and I happened to meet Young Master Duan on the way."

"I see. But I just saw you use the Dali Duan Family's I Yang Finger. What's going on?"

"How do you know I Yang Finger? And why does The Utterly Evil know it too?"

Dao Baifeng couldn't help but ask the doubts that had been weighing on her heart for a long time.

"I don't know why The Utterly Evil knows it, but I don't know I Yang Finger."

Ning Yuan smiled slightly.

This made Dao Baifeng even more confused, "You don't know it? Then what you just used was..."

Dao Baifeng looked suspicious.

He was a member of the Duan family after all. Although she didn't know this ultimate skill herself, how could she not recognize this martial art?

According to her understanding, what Ning Yuan had displayed earlier was clearly I Yang Finger.

There could be no mistake.

"Auntie, have you ever heard of an ultimate skill called 'Xiao Wu Xiang Skill'?"

Ning Yuan retorted.

Dao Baifeng frowned tightly, "Xiao Wu Xiang Skill?"

Dao Baifeng pondered for a long time, but finally shook her head.

"Xiao Wu Xiang Skill is a top-tier Internal Skill Mind-Cultivation Technique of this era. It is an ultimate skill that can be compared with the Dali Duan Family's 'Six Meridian Divine Sword' and the Beggar Clan's 'Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms'. As long as one possesses this skill and knows the Moves of other martial arts, relying on its unparalleled power, one can imitate others' ultimate skills and even surpass the original. Therefore, it is difficult for those who have not Cultivated this skill to distinguish it."

"It's understandable that you don't recognize it, Auntie. Even Prince Duan might not necessarily recognize it."

Ning Yuan did not hide this.

"There is such a miraculous skill in the world. No wonder you have made a name for yourself in the Jianghu as Southern Murong."

Dao Baifeng suddenly realized.

Then she showed an embarrassed expression, "Such an ultimate skill, that you would tell me, shows your trust in me. Don't worry, I will definitely not tell a third person about this."

Dao Baifeng immediately promised.

"What are you saying, Auntie? Although Auntie and I have only known each other for a day, we hit it off immediately and I have never treated you as an outsider. Auntie, you don't need to be so polite with me either."

Ning Yuan immediately raised his hands slightly and said with a smile.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he immediately stood up and took off his jacket, "Auntie, the night air is very cold. If you don't mind, please use this jacket to keep warm."

"How can this be? If I wear it, what will you do?"

Dao Baifeng quickly waved her hand in refusal. She had just tried to stand up when she suddenly felt her legs go weak, and a wave of heat surged from her abdomen, enveloping her entire body in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Ning Yuan was quick-witted and immediately stepped forward to steady Dao Baifeng, "Auntie, what's wrong? Are your legs numb?"

"I..."

Dao Baifeng had just said one word when her breathing became rapid and heavy. Looking at Ning Yuan's handsome face in front of her, in a trance, it overlapped with Duan Zhengchun's face.

Dao Baifeng couldn't help but reach out and caress Ning Yuan's cheek.

"Husband..."

Dao Baifeng mumbled in a daze. How could Ning Yuan endure it any longer? The word 'husband' seemed to break Ning Yuan's restraint and completely released the suppression Ning Yuan had felt for the past two days.

Ning Yuan rolled over and pressed down, and Dao Baifeng's only remaining inner garment was also removed.

Her coiled black hair came undone, and her whole person was as enchanting as a flower.

Dao Baifeng did not completely lose her mind; she sobered up in an instant, but at this moment, she couldn't exert any strength in her body.

Her entire body was burning, which also made her heart stir, and her brain temporarily froze, no longer having the mind to think about anything else.

Inside the dim cave, spring was in full bloom, and brilliant light shone everywhere.
