Chapter 223 The Heating of Emotions
The smoke of the battle gradually dissipated, leaving behind only a mess and dead silence. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen collapsed on the ground covered with gravel and dust, their clothes were torn and stained with blood and sweat, their hair was messy and stuck to their cheeks, they were gasping for breath, their chests heaving violently.
Yun Yao's eyes were a little blurry, and the thrilling scenes of the battle kept echoing in her mind. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest, as if it was about to burst through her chest. She subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, but accidentally pulled the wound, and she gasped in pain. Turning her head to look at Chu Mochen beside her, she saw that he closed his eyes tightly, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was enduring great pain. There was a deep wound on his left arm, and blood was slowly oozing out, staining a large area of his clothes red; his right leg was also bent at an unnatural angle, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.
Yun Yao's heart tightened, and she didn't care about her own pain, struggling to crawl towards Chu Mochen. Every time she moved an inch, it felt like thousands of needles were piercing her body, and the pain made beads of sweat appear on her forehead, but she gritted her teeth and persisted. Finally, she came to Chu Mochen's side. With trembling hands, she gently lifted his head, and her voice was a little crying and anxious: "Chen, how are you? Don't scare me!"
Chu Mochen slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was Yun Yao's face full of worry and concern. Her originally bright and lively eyes were now bloodshot, and tears were rolling in her eyes. Her delicate little face was dirty, but it was hard to hide her anxiety. A warm current surged in his heart, and he wanted to comfort her, but he found that his throat was dry and he could only make a weak sound: "I... I'm fine, don't worry."
After hearing this, Yun Yao couldn't hold back her tears any longer. Tears welled up in her eyes, slid down her cheeks, and dripped onto Chu Mochen's face. She choked and said, "You said you were fine, but you're so injured. It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on going deep into the ruins to search for clues about my life, we wouldn't have encountered this evil force, let alone fallen into such a dangerous situation. It's me who implicated you." As she spoke, her body trembled slightly, full of self-blame and guilt.
Chu Mochen raised his hand with great effort, wanting to wipe away Yun Yao's tears, but he only raised it a little before it fell down weakly. He shook his head gently, his eyes full of tenderness and doting: "Silly girl, how can I blame you for this? We were on a mission together, and it was our choice to face danger together. Moreover, if it weren't for your wit and courage in the battle and the use of that powerful forbidden spell, I'm afraid we would have lost our lives long ago. You saved us, you are our hero."
Yun Yao held his hand and put it against her cheek, feeling his cold body temperature, tears flowing uncontrollably: "But, I'm really afraid of losing you. When the battle was the most intense, I saw you rushing towards the enemy again and again to protect me, regardless of the danger. My heart was in my throat. I can't imagine what I would do without you."
Chu Mochen looked at Yun Yao so sad, his heart was full of pity. He endured the pain, sat up, and gently embraced Yun Yao in his arms. Yun Yao leaned in his arms and cried loudly, as if to vent all her fears and worries. Chu Mochen gently stroked her hair, letting her cry, and murmured: "I will not leave you, we will explore your life experience together, practice together, and face the challenges of the future together. We will stay together forever."
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Yao's crying gradually stopped. She raised her head and looked at Chu Mochen with tearful eyes. At this moment, their faces were close to each other, and they could feel each other's warm breath. Yun Yao's eyes fell on Chu Mochen's lips, and suddenly an inexplicable impulse surged in her heart. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. She slowly approached and gently kissed Chu Mochen's lips.
This sudden kiss made Chu Mochen slightly stunned, but he soon reacted, and a surge of joy and excitement surged in his heart. He closed his eyes, responded to Yun Yao's kiss, and hugged her tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to merge her into his body. At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and the whole world was left with only the two of them, and the sound of each other's heartbeats intertwined, as if it was the most beautiful movement.
After a long time, Yun Yao slowly let go, her face flushed, with a hint of shyness and uneasiness in her eyes. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Chu Mochen's eyes, her voice as small as a mosquito: "Am I... am I too impulsive?"
Chu Mochen looked at Yun Yao's shy appearance, his heart full of love. He gently lifted Yun Yao's chin, let her look directly into his eyes, smiled and said: "No, this is what I have been looking forward to. Yun Yao, I like you. From the first time we met, your bravery, kindness, and intelligence have deeply attracted me. I have been waiting for the right time to confess to you, but I didn't expect you to take this step first."
After hearing this, Yun Yao's uneasiness disappeared, replaced by joy and sweetness. She raised her head, her eyes sparkling with happiness: "I like you too, Chen. In the process of getting along with you, I gradually found that my heart is already filled with you. Your company makes me feel warm, your protection makes me feel at ease, and your encouragement makes me stronger. I am willing to walk through every step of the future with you."
Chu Mochen embraced Yun Yao again and hugged her tightly. They enjoyed this rare tranquility and happiness, as if all the fatigue and pain disappeared at this moment. However, they also knew that the sweetness at this moment was only temporary, and there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future. Whether it was Yun Yao's exploration of the mystery of her life, or their growth on the road of cultivation, as well as the upcoming sect crisis and the threat of evil forces, they needed to work together and face it together.
In each other's arms, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen secretly vowed that no matter how difficult the future road would be, they would not let go of each other's hands. They would support and accompany each other, and write their own legend with love and courage.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, outlining a beautiful and warm picture for them. Their figures appear particularly firm in the ruins, as if they are a ray of hope in this desolate land, indicating that they will jointly create a more splendid and colorful chapter in the days to come.
