Chapter 793: Chapter 794: Got an Idea

Song Xiaodong cracked a slight smile and said, "You continue, and I’ll keep admiring."

Sun Yiyi, her face flushed, glared at Song Xiaodong but said nothing. Turning away, she continued to shower, though her actions seemed somewhat unnatural.

A minute or two later, Sun Yiyi turned back around, only to meet Song Xiaodong’s gaze and instantly feel extremely embarrassed. She snapped, "Hey, if you keep looking at me like that, I’ll make you marry me."

Song Xiaodong was taken aback and then closed his eyes, having already promised his family not to entangle himself with other women. Even if Sun Yiyi was tempting, he couldn’t treat his promise as nothing.

Seeing that Song Xiaodong had closed his eyes, the look of embarrassment on Sun Yiyi’s face slowly faded away, and her expression seemed to become somewhat complex.

After a while, Sun Yiyi finished showering, got dressed, and returned to Song Xiaodong’s side, only to find he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Sun Yiyi sat beside Song Xiaodong, quietly watching him, her expression suddenly shifting uncertainly.

Ten minutes passed, and she slowly lifted her hand, then gradually reached toward Song Xiaodong’s forehead, her face taking on an even more complicated look.

As her palm neared Song Xiaodong’s forehead, it suddenly tensed, paused for a moment, and then swiftly pushed down.

But just as it was about to touch Song Xiaodong’s forehead, her hand suddenly softened and gently rested upon it.

"Oh... what’s going on?" Song Xiaodong opened his eyes, looking somewhat bewildered at Sun Yiyi.

Sun Yiyi smiled faintly and said, "I was worried you might develop a fever after getting hurt, so I wanted to check if your forehead was hot. Thankfully, you don’t have a fever."

Song Xiaodong chuckled softly and said, "I am a skilled doctor. If I don’t have that much confidence, wouldn’t that make me a quack?"

"Hmph, you’re a quack and a lecher," Sun Yiyi pouted.

Song Xiaodong laughed sheepishly and said, "Alright, I’m much better now. Let’s go bury those people."

Sun Yiyi frowned and said, "Ah... we have to go there?"

Song Xiaodong gently shook his head and said, "Let’s bury them. After all, it was us who killed them, and we didn’t have any deep-seated vendetta."

Having been to the battlefield many times, Song Xiaodong had his share of kills, but that was due to missions, due to military operations. A soldier’s life is about killing and being killed, so he felt no guilt in his heart.

But this time, having killed so many people over a few Snake Saliva Fruits, even Song Xiaodong felt a tinge of remorse.

Sun Yiyi hesitated for a moment, but still went back with Song Xiaodong. However, the bodies of those men were nowhere to be found; all that remained were drag marks on the ground.

"Where did the people go?" Sun Yiyi asked in confusion.

Song Xiaodong sighed lightly and said, "They must’ve been dragged away by wild animals, sigh."

"Then... then it’s not our fault. We really came to bury them," Sun Yiyi said, looking quite upset.

The two went to the mouth of the valley, where the guide had long vanished, leaving behind scattered equipment.

Song Xiaodong and Sun Yiyi picked out some useful items, especially an inflatable boat. Song Xiaodong had wanted to take two tents, but the inflatable boat took up too much space, so they could only take one.

This time, Sun Yiyi was the main force, carrying the biggest backpack, while Song Xiaodong shouldered a smaller one, and they started their journey back home.

"Right, give me one of those Snake Saliva Fruits to check out," Song Xiaodong said.

Sun Yiyi took out a Snake Saliva Fruit and handed it to Song Xiaodong, saying, "This thing is really hard."

Song Xiaodong took it in hand, and the fruit was surprisingly heavy, with a skin that was quite tough, almost like a nut.

He sniffed it close to his nose, and a burst of refreshing fragrance immediately filled his nostrils, invigorating his spirit, and he said, "Indeed, it’s a good thing."

Sun Yiyi said with pride, "Of course it is, otherwise why would we go through all this trouble to get it?"

Song Xiaodong then asked, "Can I take a look at that prescription?"

Sun Yiyi shrugged her shoulders and said, "How could I possibly carry that on me? When we get back, I’ll give it to you then, and besides, I’m counting on you to help me with the alchemy."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Then we’ll have to wait until we get back, but this thing, I feel its detoxifying effect must be very good."

With the positioning system this time, the two wouldn’t get lost. After walking for a while, it got dark, so they found a place to set up the tent, then had something to eat before crawling into the tent together to rest.

Using the light from the hydroelectric lamp, Song Xiaodong treated her wounds again. Sun Yiyi, seeing that Song Xiaodong’s wounds had clearly improved a lot, couldn’t help but express her amazement, "Your skills really are impressive."

Song Xiaodong gave a slight smile and said, "Of course they are."

Sun Yiyi pouted and said, "Sing your own praises, why don’t you," and then she laid down with her clothes on.

Song Xiaodong lay down as well, but with injuries on her chest and abdomen, sleeping on her side was quite inconvenient, so she decided to lie flat.

Sun Yiyi immediately shuffled a bit, then just turned over, but felt that Song Xiaodong’s arm was somewhat in the way. She directly pulled up Song Xiaodong’s arm and used it as a pillow under her neck, saying, "Now that’s much more comfortable."

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but wryly smile to herself. Such a position was one between lovers. Now with Sun Yiyi like this... But then she thought, hadn’t they been quite close these past couple of days? To be concerned about this now would be to turn a blind eye, so she went with the flow and wrapped an arm around her.

They hadn’t been lying down for long when a faint and unusual fragrance reached Song Xiaodong’s nose, and she couldn’t help but turn dark, saying, "Yiyi, this..."

"What’s wrong with me?" Sun Yiyi asked in all seriousness.

Song Xiaodong found herself at a loss for words and said, "Can’t you smell that unique fragrance?"

"Where?" Sun Yiyi asked, seeming surprised.

"You really can’t smell a special fragrance in here?" Song Xiaodong turned her head and asked curiously.

"I really can’t smell it, are you talking about the scent of the Snake Saliva Fruit?"

Song Xiaodong’s face turned even darker as she said, "When you get emotional, you emit a fragrance like that of orchids and musk. The higher the emotion, the stronger the fragrance."

"What? No way, you’re smelling it now?" Sun Yiyi’s tone was filled with intense surprise.

"Yes... that’s why I asked you," Song Xiaodong said with a dry laugh.

"No... no... you must be mistaken," Sun Yiyi buried her head into Song Xiaodong’s neck, refusing to admit it at all. This time, she was really embarrassed. Secretly harboring thoughts, and now caught by Song Xiaodong just like that.

"Yes! I did think it, so what?" Sun Yiyi suddenly lifted her head, turned over, and to Song Xiaodong’s surprise, ended up straddling her legs...
