Chapter 781: Chapter 782 Battle Between Heaven and Humans

"Hey, why were you so excited this morning?"

The two once again embarked on their journey, and Sun Yiyi couldn’t stop thinking about Song Xiaodong’s change that morning, curiously asking.

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Secret."

Sun Yiyi pouted and said, "Hey, that’s not nice, after sleeping in your arms all night, shouldn’t you have no secrets from me?"

Song Xiaodong said with a smug look, "Hehe, that’s personal privacy."

"Pfft... You didn’t suddenly become super strong in ’that’ department, did you?"

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened immediately, and he said, "You sure have some imagination."

"Giggle, if you say it’s private, I can only think in that direction, or is it that you held it in all night and something went bad for you?"

"You... Do you believe that I’ll let you try it right now?" Song Xiaodong glared at her.

Sun Yiyi immediately put on a very scared look and said, "Uncle, I’m young, you can’t bully people like that."

Song Xiaodong laughed out loud and said nothing, then continued walking forward.

Sun Yiyi followed behind, her eyes carrying a hint of confusion, as she could clearly feel that Song Xiaodong had become very calm when facing her.

"Eh, we are going in the right direction, aren’t we?" Song Xiaodong suddenly stopped and asked.

"No mistake!" Sun Yiyi nodded her head.

Song Xiaodong pointed ahead and said, "Then those little devils are going in the same direction as us, could it be that they also want to get the Snake Saliva Fruit?" Sun Yiyi took two steps forward, coming alongside Song Xiaodong, and noticed many freshly broken branches on both sides of the path ahead, as well as some disordered footsteps on the ground, clearly a team had just passed through here.

"Could it be a coincidence? Didn’t you hear them say what they were going to do yesterday?"

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "No, those little devils were quite careful, I didn’t hear anything useful."

Sun Yiyi said, "Then it might just be an accident, after all, we still have more than a day’s journey before we get there, it’s just the same direction for now."

Since someone else was paving the way, Song Xiaodong and Sun Yiyi also found it much easier, and their efficiency increased a lot. By the time it was almost noon, the two could faintly hear the sound of people talking ahead.

The two slowed down their pace, maintaining such a distance, and obviously, everyone was heading in the same direction.

"Are there many Snake Saliva Fruits there?" Song Xiaodong suddenly lowered his voice and asked.

Sun Yiyi shrugged her shoulders and said, "I’m not sure."

Song Xiaodong said, "If there are only one or two, then I’m afraid there will be a conflict when the time comes."

Sun Yiyi said helplessly, "Then we’ll just have to see what happens at that time. We don’t know the strength of the other party; if they’re too strong, then we’ll have to give up when the time comes."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Hmm, I’ll try tonight and see how strong they are."

"Good!" Sun Yiyi also felt that this plan was not bad. Given the current situation, it’s very likely that both parties have the same goal, and if a conflict arises, it will be very important to know the enemy as well as oneself.

If their strength greatly surpassed that of Song Xiaodong’s, they could simply crush them. But if the other party was strong, then they would have to win by wit, or give up.

The characteristic of the weather inside the rainforest is that heavy rain comes without warning. Although the two of them did not encounter any rain yesterday, today the downpour suddenly arrived without reason.

And the rain came fiercely; within minutes, a curtain of rain had already fallen.

The two of them certainly did not carry umbrellas, so they quickly looked for a place to take shelter, soon finding a hollow tree. Song Xiaodong stopped a step ahead, letting Sun Yiyi crawl in first.

However, the hollow appeared not too small, but once Sun Yiyi entered, Song Xiaodong could no longer fit.

Sun Yiyi hurriedly took off her backpack, lifted it up, and shrunk her body back a lot all at once, pulling Song Xiaodong in as well.

Song Xiaodong quickly took off his backpack too. Although the backpack was waterproof, he was worried about water leaking in and damaging the food or other things inside.

"You still have half your body outside." Sun Yiyi glanced over Song Xiaodong’s shoulder from inside, placed the backpack directly over her head, and then embraced Song Xiaodong. This way, the two of them finally squeezed into the small hollow.

"Haha... see how smart I am? Now you won’t get drenched," Sun Yiyi said with a smile, looking up at Song Xiaodong, but she saw something odd about his expression.

"Ah!" Sun Yiyi exclaimed softly, but did not let go of Song Xiaodong. Her eyes narrowed into crescents, saying, "You’re not thinking anything naughty again, are you?"

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "What do you think?"

"Ah, you’re getting a reaction," Sun Yiyi spat at Song Xiaodong.

At this moment, Song Xiaodong didn’t avoid Sun Yiyi’s gaze and said with a smile, "You little vixen spirit, hugging me like this, how could I not react? Otherwise, I’d be an eunuch."

Sun Yiyi rested her chin on Song Xiaodong’s chest and said nothing, still embracing him, but her cheeks grew redder, her breathing more rapid, and her eyes more dazed.

This little appearance clearly showed she was moved, and Sun Yiyi, a naturally charming woman, elicited an appeal that was indescribable. Even a gay man would probably be straightened out by her at this moment.

Such stimulation was much more intense than anything at night, waves of impulse battered Song Xiaodong’s brain, making him want to possess Sun Yiyi without any restraint.

But he was now suppressing this urge with an extremely strong will as if a Demon and an Angel were fighting a life-and-death battle inside his mind.

Water droplets flowed down Song Xiaodong’s face; it was unclear if it was from rain earlier or sweat from his head.

Song Xiaodong’s eyes also became strange, one moment filled with bloodshot veins, the next clear, then quickly covered by bloodshot veins again, then clear once more.

His breathing too turned odd, sometimes rapid like a bellows, then long and smooth, as if two people were breathing in turns.

Sun Yiyi seemed completely lost at this moment, her eyes closed, just silently embracing Song Xiaodong, and they remained in this state for over half an hour.

As the rain outside lightened, Song Xiaodong finally let out a long breath, leaned back, and stepped out of the hollow, eyes tightly closed, letting the light rain drench his head.

Sun Yiyi stood inside the hollow, her captivating peach blossom eyes watching Song Xiaodong, her lips slowly curled into a sweet, intoxicating smile.
