Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 706 - 6 The Woman Who Loves Extremes_3

“Hongyu, it’s not that I don’t like being with you, I just don’t like being trapped here.”

“I see,” Zhou Hongyu said, “your dislike for being trapped here outweighs your pleasure of being with me, that’s all.”

“Why must you twist my words?” Yan Yu was getting impatient, “Why do you have to tie ‘being trapped here’ and ‘keeping you company’ together, forcing me to choose? Can’t we go out and find a comfortable place to be together…”

“Then it’s settled!” Zhou Hongyu immediately interrupted him, her previously mournful expression instantly switching to a sly smile of triumph, “You’ve promised that you will continue to keep me company after we get out.”

Yan Yu: …

Haha, trying to outsmart me, huh?

Young lady, you do have some smarts, but that’s as far as it goes. In the adult world, breaking promises is a grown-up’s prerogative!

“It’s settled,” Yan Yu said with a smile, nodding his head, “I’ll keep you company after we get out.”

He agreed so readily that even Zhou Hongyu grew suspicious, and then she suddenly upped the ante:

“Even at night, you have to sleep with me.”

“Even at night, I’ll sleep with you,” Yan Yu agreed immediately.

“Do you plan to make false promises, only to renege once we’re out?” Zhou Hongyu frowned and asked.

“Of course not,” Yan Yu said with a laugh, denying it, “Am I that kind of person?”

Zhou Hongyu immediately realized that she indeed did not really know what kind of person he was… Most of their interactions had been initiated by Yan Yu, and at that time, she had held an inherent rejection and wariness towards him, never trying to truly understand him.

“Hmm.” She leaned in again, “I’ll take a deposit first.”

Several hours passed after that.

Zhou Hongyu would occasionally summon the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire for a moment, then take an Elixir and spend some time refining its effects, alternating between the two, which eventually expanded the space they could move in somewhat.

But they were still far from escaping their predicament.

Yan Yu had completely numbed out, and an alarming thought even uncontrollably surfaced in his mind:

Given the time it took for the two of us to get here, and factoring in Hongyu’s current speed at forging a path, it would take months to return to the entrance… No, that’s wrong. The supply of Qi-boosting Elixirs is limited, and once they’re all consumed, we can only rely on Breathing and Energy Refining to recover True Yuan, which would extend the time by at least six or seven times.

Damn it! We’re genuinely trapped now!

I won’t give up! There must be some kind of mechanism!

Yan Yu looked around once more, but unfortunately, aside from the ice walls, he couldn’t find any mechanisms; even the walls themselves were irregularly contoured, looking like they were naturally formed, without any trace of man-made designs.

And they were incredibly hard, not even the Flying Sword could leave a mark.

Hmm?

“Hongyu,” he hesitated, “have you noticed…”

“Is it getting colder around here?”
