Jiang Miaoyan heard what Chen Yang said and nodded, "Boss Chen, you're right. It's already a blessing that Lingling met you. I was thinking too much and being too greedy."

"You can't say that. I understand how you feel, but the past is the past. From now on, you should look ahead and live well with Lingling," Chen Yang advised.

Jiang Miaoyan's mood was initially very low, but after hearing Chen Yang's words, she felt much better.

"Mm-hmm, now that Lingling's illness is cured, I will strive to develop in a good direction in the future." Jiang Miaoyan's eyes sparkled with confidence, and she seemed reborn.

"Yes, the past is gone, living well now is what matters. Come, eat some meat, and rest early. If the weather clears up tomorrow, we still have to hurry on our journey," Chen Yang said with a smile, handing over a rabbit.

Jiang Miaoyan did not stand on ceremony and took it, eating heartily.

Chen Yang smiled slightly and said nothing more, joining in the meal.

It became dark outside very quickly, and in a blink, nothing could be seen.

But the raging wind and torrential rain continued to wreak havoc, with Shasha's noise being particularly loud.

Chen Yang stood up and looked outside the cave for a while.

Seeing that today's rain and wind would not stop, he finally turned back inside.

At this time, Jiang Miaoyan was still sitting by the fire, hugging her knees.

Her stunning face, smudged with some dust, had a certain disheveled beauty.

Chen Yang was momentarily stunned.

"Boss Chen, hasn't the wind outside lessened at all?" Jiang Miaoyan asked, seeing Chen Yang return.

Chen Yang shook his head and sat down, "Not only has it not lessened, but it's gotten much worse. We definitely can't go back today, we'll have to spend the night here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Miaoyan said nothing more, silently bowing her head to look at the campfire, as if lost in thought.

Chen Yang didn't say anything else either. He found some stones inside the cave and made a simple closure at the entrance.

Then he looked for some larger stones to make a makeshift stone bed.

It was time to sleep.

"Miaoyan, rest early, you'll wake up to morning. If the wind lessens by then, we'll head back," Chen Yang said as he glanced at Jiang Miaoyan.

"Alright, sleep well, Boss Chen."

The two had nothing more to say, so naturally, they chose to sleep.

Chen Yang hummed in acknowledgment, lying down alone on the stone bed, closing his eyes to sleep.

Jiang Miaoyan, facing Chen Yang, also found a couple of stones to make herself as comfortable as possible for sleep.

The flames of the campfire flickered inside the cave, while the rain poured down outside.

No one knew how much time passed, but Chen Yang felt himself entering a half-asleep, half-awake state, just about to fall fully asleep.

Suddenly, a scream in the cave jolted him awake!

"Ah!"

At the scream, Chen Yang quickly sat up.

He turned towards Jiang Miaoyan and saw her sobbing, holding her legs.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yang hurriedly got up and went over to show his concern.

Tears sparkled in Jiang Miaoyan's eyes, and her lips trembled.

"There... there's a snake..."

Jiang Miaoyan shivered as she spoke.

"A snake? Where?" Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately stood up and scanned the surroundings.

Jiang Miaoyan shook her head, "I don't know where it went, but I got bitten."

As soon as he heard she was bitten, Chen Yang ignored looking for the snake and squatted down hurriedly, asking where she was bitten.

Jiang Miaoyan released her legs, revealing two bloody punctures on her fair thigh.

"It bit me here..." Jiang Miaoyan shivered as she spoke.

Seeing the puncture wounds, Chen Yang's brow furrowed.

In this wilderness, he barely had anything with him; being bitten was indeed troublesome.

"Don't move, let me check it out for you."

Chen Yang said calmly to Jiang Miaoyan, then immediately lowered his head to carefully examine the wound.

Jiang Miaoyan trembled with pain but gritted her teeth and remained still, allowing Chen Yang to look closely at the wound.

When Chen Yang looked closely at the wound's edges, he found the flowing blood was not black.

This indicated the snake bite wasn't from a highly venomous snake.

"Bear with it, I'll suck on the wound for a bit."

Though it wasn't a deadly venomous snake, it couldn't be ignored; the wound still needed treatment.

"Okay!" Jiang Miaoyan understood such basic common knowledge and immediately nodded, letting Chen Yang handle the wound.

At that moment, Chen Yang was focused solely on treating the wound, completely oblivious to anything else.

He also didn't notice the wound was on Jiang Miaoyan's thigh.

This sensitive area made Jiang Miaoyan blush deeply, but the pain overrode all else.

She gritted her teeth against the pain.

Ptooey.

Chen Yang sucked out a large amount of blood and spat it to the side, then quickly searched himself, finding two simple Detoxification Pills.

To deal with specific snakes, you need special elixirs.

But in this wilderness, Chen Yang had no other options at all.

Moreover, it was too dark here; after the snake suddenly attacked Jiang Miaoyan, it vanished without a trace, making it impossible to know what kind it was.

Chen Yang could only judge from the wound and the blood that it wasn't a deadly venomous snake.

Since it wasn't a deadly venomous snake, it naturally wouldn't pose a significant threat to the body, so Chen Yang decided to treat the wound first, then let her take two Body Refining Elixirs.

If the poison could be fully expelled, that would be best.

If not, they could return to the village the following morning for a thorough check-up.

"Take this Elixir, it's for detoxification," Chen Yang handed one to Jiang Miaoyan.

She took it and swallowed it immediately.

The other one, Chen Yang crushed into powder and sprinkled it on Jiang Miaoyan's wound.

Then he tore a piece of his clothing to make a simple bandage for her.

"Alright, there shouldn't be any more trouble for now."

Having done all this, Chen Yang spoke.

Jiang Miaoyan was still gritting her teeth, as she felt waves of pain from the wound.

"Okay, thank you, Boss Chen," Jiang Miaoyan thanked him with a red face.

"It's nothing. You should sleep over on my side; let me check thoroughly over there, just in case a snake bites again in the middle of the night," Chen Yang said.

"Alright."

Jiang Miaoyan didn't hesitate and immediately got up to move from her original sleeping spot, allowing Chen Yang to inspect with a stick, flipping over the stones.

But after a thorough check, no trace of the snake was found.

Most likely, it had slithered out of the cave after biting her.

Finding no snake, Chen Yang didn't linger. He scattered some ground Elixir powder on the floor, then went back to sleep again.

Jiang Miaoyan did the same, lying on the stone bed and falling asleep soon after.

But the deeper she slept, the more her mind became confused.

Her body, whether because of the campfire or for some other reason, grew hotter and hotter.

Eventually, in a daze, she even took off her own T-shirt...

None of this was anticipated or noticed by the soundly sleeping Chen Yang.

It wasn't until a body as hot as a fireball wrapped around him that he reacted.

He suddenly opened his eyes, but that tenderness had already pressed against him, inseparable...

...

Just like that, the night passed.

By the following morning, the storm outside finally calmed down.

The clouds cleared, revealing sunshine.

And the two of them inside the cave were gradually awakened by the chirping of birds outside.

Chen Yang opened his eyes, seeing himself naked, with Jiang Miaoyan in the same state, sleeping against his chest. He was stunned.

He was dumbfounded for a good five or six seconds before recalling what had happened the night before.
