Seeing the Affection Level successfully increase, Qin Yi was quite satisfied with his decision.

Opportunities in the art of romance are never gifts from the heavens; they are crafted by human hands.

Alone together, now embracing each other, spending twelve hours in this state, especially under the continuous blessing of the Hand of Nuwa, even a goddess untouched by mortal affairs might find it hard to resist.

Below the high stone platform, four gigantic Fire Salamander Beasts stared at the two people above with eyes like copper bells.

Ordinary Fire Salamander Beasts have a strong jumping ability.

But these four were too massive; after several attempts, they could only jump up to two meters high before falling back down.

The platform was four meters high, so as long as they stayed up there, they were temporarily safe.

However, to set the mood, Qin Yi would secretly use his internal energy to shoot blasts at the Fire Salamander Beasts from a position where Xu Xinran couldn't see, deliberately provoking them.

The attacked Fire Salamander Beasts were naturally furious, howling and constantly lunging upward.

Xu Xinran shrank back in fear, with Qin Yi on the inside, afraid of being bitten by the Fire Salamander Beasts. To avoid being bitten, she had no choice but to move closer to Qin Yi.

But the small platform was really too cramped, making it quite crowded for the two of them.

"I... I can hardly stand anymore..." Xu Xinran suddenly said nervously.

"Then sit down."

But the platform was too small; if they both sat, there wouldn't be enough space.

So Qin Yi sat down first, and then Xu Xinran sat on his lap.

"Is this better?"

"Mm... a bit better."

At this moment, the four Fire Salamander Beasts below, after several failed attempts to bite them, seemed to be giving up.

They turned their heads and began to crawl towards the water-filled part of the cave, swaying as they went.

It looked like they were leaving.

But Qin Yi and Xu Xinran had just reached this critical moment of warming up, so how could he let them leave just like that?

Immediately, Qin Yi quietly struck from behind Xu Xinran, sending several blasts of internal energy.

With his deliberate aim,

The blasts hit the necks and tails of the Fire Salamander Beasts, their pain points.

So the four Fire Salamander Beasts, who had intended to leave, howled and turned back angrily, roaring at Qin Yi on the platform. They lunged again, jumping and trying to bite him down.

‘Yes, that's it, you perform well, and I can be at ease as this protector.’

To make the four Fire Salamander Beasts work hard and to heighten the tension, Qin Yi suddenly fired another blast at the rock wall nearby, causing the rock to fall and form a natural stepping stone.

With this stepping stone, the Fire Salamander Beasts could climb higher.

When they stuck out their tongues, they could even lick the soles of the two people's feet.

Qin Yi, of course, was not afraid,

But Xu Xinran, being a girl, was naturally scared and screamed.

Her instinctive reaction was to climb onto Qin Yi, trying to tuck her legs and lift her feet.

Such close contact was obviously dangerous, and before long, the two of them uncontrollably developed a deep connection.

Yet, Qin Yi looked innocent, as he indeed did nothing.

Instead, everything was Xu Xinran's own initiative.

Despite this, Xu Xinran dared not pull away, because after the Fire Salamander Beasts could lick their soles, they became more frenzied and excited, as if they were on steroids, constantly lunging and biting.

In such an atmosphere,

Xu Xinran, both ashamed and helpless, after a long period of nerve-wracking tension, eventually fell asleep on Qin Yi's shoulder.

When she woke up again,

The four Fire Salamander Beasts below the platform were long gone.

The awakened Xu Xinran had regained her clarity, and recalling what happened with Qin Yi, she was overwhelmed with shame and silently cried, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

"Junior Sister Xu, what's wrong?" Qin Yi wiped away her tears.

"…How did this happen…"

"It's all the Fire Salamander Beasts' fault, we were both helpless."

"But this… what should we do…"

At this moment, Qin Yi said nothing.

Her emotions were intense at this time, so nothing he said would be appropriate.

After a while, her sobbing slightly subsided.

Only then did Qin Yi comfort her, saying, "But no matter what, what's done is done, and we need to accept the reality, right?"

Xu Xinran looked up at him, her tearful eyes full of sorrow.

Qin Yi: "Does Junior Sister hate me?"

Xu Xinran shook her head.

She had an Affection Level of 40 for Qin Yi, so she naturally wouldn't hate him.

Oh, no, 40 was before.

Just now, after their intimate encounter, Xu Xinran's Affection Level for him skyrocketed to 80.

At that moment, in Xu Xinran's heart, their lives were hanging by a thread, and Qin Yi held her tightly, afraid she would fall, even extending his legs to distract the Fire Salamander Beasts.

This was clearly selfless, disregarding his own safety,

His actions deeply imprinted on Xu Xinran's Affection Level.

"Since you don't hate me, why are you crying, Junior Sister?"

"I… I don't know either…"

"Then how about not crying anymore?"

"Mm."

At times like this, comforting her was an added bonus.

Qin Yi seized the opportunity, holding her and saying, "You're mine now, and I'll treat you well from now on."

Although Xu Xinran agreed not to cry, tears still fell from the corners of her eyes.

She suddenly cried and asked, "What about Senior Brother Song… if he finds out…"
