“Yino…”
Whenever Yunjin felt clingy or uneasy, she’d call Yino by his name.
“Are we staying in the Northern Luo Mountains to keep investigating?”
Seeing the Wuji Sect disciples taking advantage of the sunset to head down the mountain, Yunjin sat on the steps by the entrance of the Divine Deer Shrine, anxiously watching and awkwardly poking Yino beside her.
“No need to investigate. I have other plans,” Yino said, gazing at the distant sunset with a surprisingly calm mood.
“Plans?” Yunjin’s ahoge curled into a question mark.
“Didn’t you say last night that you wanted to repay me?”
Yino suddenly bringing up repayment made the silly girl beside him widen her pretty eyes.
Yunjin blushed with embarrassment at first, but soon pouted, “Repay! Of course I remember that! But Young Master, are you really in such a hurry that you want me to repay you tonight…”
“Is that not okay?”
Yino knew they had different understandings of repayment, but Yunjin’s reaction was so pure, he spoke teasingly, deliberately not clearing up the misunderstanding.
“It’s not that it’s not okay!” Yunjin quickly waved her hands, her face flushed as she looked at Yino.
She paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly, “It’s just, now that we’ve gathered all the clues in Snow Village, everyone from Wuji Sect has gone back to look for the Nine-Colored Divine Deer…”
“You know when I was little, the Nine-Colored Divine Deer saved my grandparents…”
“So now that Snow Village is in trouble and the Divine Deer is missing, I’m really worried about the Divine Deer.”
As she spoke, the blush on Yunjin’s face gradually faded.
She scooted closer to Yino, grabbed his arm with her small hands, almost pleading, “Young Master, can’t we first go look for clues about the Nine-Colored Deer? After the investigation in Northern Luo Snow Village is completely finished, then we can slowly discuss how I should repay you?”
“You really care that much about the Divine Deer?”
“Of course!”
“Actually, I know where the Divine Deer is.”
“Huh?” Yunjin suddenly froze, raising her face to look at Yino in confusion.
But after staring for a while, she found no hint of joking in Yino’s calm eyes.
“I can take you to see the Divine Deer, but only if you agree to follow me for the next two days and do as I say.”
Yino’s tone grew more serious.
For some reason, with him staring at her, Yunjin’s heart raced.
“For the next two days, I… I have to follow Young Master… and listen to you…”
Although Yino spoke gently, no matter how Yunjin thought about it, she felt like he was trying to kidnap her.
Suddenly, Yunjin remembered Yino once said Senior Yuyan had told him not to let Yunjin run off.
“Young Master, are you telling the truth?”
“Of course it’s the truth.”
“I want to see the Divine Deer first…”
As she said this, Yunjin’s eyes held obvious wariness.
She was simple-minded and liked Yino, but at a critical juncture, Yunjin wouldn’t completely let her emotions take over. She needed to see it to believe it!
“Not bad, seems like you’re not as silly as Senior Yuyan’s worries,” Yino said, narrowing his eyes without anger, instead feeling relieved.
These past few days, although he had been raising Yunjin’s affection, thankfully this silly girl wasn’t completely lovestruck and had some sense of caution.
“Let’s go.”
Yino calculated that Chen Jianxin should be far away by now. He sat up and stretched.
Beside him, Yunjin also slowly stood up.
“We’re going to find the Divine Deer now?”
“Of course.”
“Isn’t the Divine Deer in the direction Chen Jianxin and the others went?”
“Just follow me for now…”
The teenage boy and girl closely followed each other up the steps on the mountainside of the Divine Deer Shrine.
Yino walked in front while Yunjin slowly followed behind.
The Snow Village was bitterly cold, the steps covered in a layer of slippery ice.
As the sun set, the light dimmed.
Yunjin accidentally slipped and fell onto Yino’s back, nearly knocking him off the cliff’s edge.
Afterward, Yunjin kept apologizing to Yino. Yino fell silent for a moment, then simply picked up the clumsy Yunjin.
“Hold on tight,” Yino said, seeing how late it was getting.
Before the girl behind him could react, he jumped straight down the cliff slope.
“Ahhhhhh–!!!!”
The sudden weightlessness made Yunjin’s face turn pale as she couldn’t help but scream, her jade-like hands tightly hugging Yino’s neck, burying her face against him, not daring to look.
Halfway down the slope, Yino slid on the icy surface, his left arm transforming into blood-colored scales, claws gripping the cliff beside them for support as he slid down with the girl on his back.
“Hahaha–!!!”
“So fun–!!!”
After sliding for a while, Yunjin gradually got used to the weightless feeling. No longer screaming in fear, she excitedly raised her hands, enjoying the view ahead.
The slide didn’t last long. As Yino landed steadily, Yunjin’s heart was still racing with excitement as she happily held his hand.
The atmosphere was so nice that Yino didn’t say anything, silently holding her hand as they walked through the forest.
—
Along the way, the other Wuji Sect disciples had already packed up their temporary camps. Only deep in the snowy forest, behind an inconspicuous small slope, stood a lone black tent. Yino led Yunjin to the tent where they had rested the previous night and let go of her hand.
“Huh?” Yunjin stood in front of the small tent, finally coming back to her senses from the earlier sledding fun.
She looked around, confirming the desolate surroundings with only a single tent, her cute face slowly turning red with embarrassment.
“You go in first. I’ll show you a big treasure,” Yino said, standing behind Yunjin with his arms crossed, looking serious.
The sun was setting, the sky darkening, but thankfully Yino had taken a shortcut by sliding down, allowing them to arrive at the campsite hours earlier than the original route.
“I… I should go in…”
A cold wind blew past as Yunjin raised a hand to tuck a few strands of light-colored hair behind her ear, her heart beating faster with unease.
She could probably guess from the atmosphere of being alone with Yino what he wanted to do by bringing her into the small tent.
But…
In this moment, gazing at Yino’s sincere and gentle eyes, even though Yunjin still felt some resistance and unease, her body had already obediently crawled into the small tent.
“Yunjin, make sure to keep your eyes wide open!” Yino also entered the tent. He turned to pull down the door flap.
Yunjin squatted in the corner, hugging her knees, her face flushed red as she watched Yino with slight unease.
If Yino really wanted to, Yunjin probably wouldn’t refuse, because as a weak cultivator, she couldn’t resist him anyway.
But… Yunjin just felt it was too soon.
She indeed belonged to Yino. According to the rules of the cultivation world, Yino did have the right to do as he wished with her… But if possible, Yunjin hoped Yino could be gentler, or respect her more, instead of crudely wanting to directly show his big treasure like this.
[Maa–!]
Amidst the girl’s flushed daze, a cute little deer voice sounded.
Yunjin thought she was hearing things, but as the familiar natural spiritual energy gathered, she noticed the golden mark on the back of Yino’s hand glowing brightly. This power was strong yet reassuring, something Yunjin had never felt from Yino before…
“Could it be… Wangxue?”
In that moment, Yunjin completely forgot about the earlier talk of repayment, her beautiful eyes wide as she stared intently at Yino.
Yino smiled, confidently activating the golden mark, materializing a small girl with a snow-white body and a head of nine-colored antlers inside the tent–
“Wait.”
“A girl?”
This question came from Yino’s mouth.
Equally shocked was Yunjin sitting opposite him, the image of the golden-haired girl reflected in her eyes.
As the golden glow gradually dissipated, a delicate, fair-skinned deer spirit girl with nine-colored sacred marks on her body appeared in the center of Yino and Yunjin’s view.
[Maa–!]
“Hohoho~ Aren’t I amazing!” The little deer girl, barefoot, snorted and turned around, putting her hands on her hips, chest out, stomach in, looking very proud as she gazed at Yino.
After just three seconds of eye contact, Yino’s expression went from furrowed brows to staring transfixed, momentarily stunned, until he seemed to suddenly realize something, hurriedly exclaiming in shock and panic, “Holy sh*t, this can actually pass the censors–!”
Yino cried out, quickly raising a hand to block the girl’s naked body.

At the same time, Yunjin also realized something and hurriedly grabbed a quilt beside her, pouncing forward to cover the deergirl’s fair, pink naked body.
[Maa? Maa?] The little deer, tackled by Yunjin, struggled non-stop like a kitten trapped in a sack, her head covered by the quilt. Yunjin held the girl tightly wrapped up, her own face flushed red as she anxiously said, “Young Master, you! D-Don’t look please!”
“Ah, oh…” Yino snapped out of his daze, quickly blinking and leaving the small tent as fast as possible.
He pulled down the tent flap and stood alone in the cold wind, silently taking out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and swallowing it. This was a calming pill. When stocking up at the alchemy shop before, Yino had casually swiped a bottle from Senior Zhang’s counter.
Who would have thought…
Yino, the Crimson Stone King who was immune to all poisons in his past life, would need to take this kind of medicine to steady his emotions in the Fallen Immortal world.
Behind him in the small tent, the commotion between the girl and little deer lasted for a long time.
Finally, the door flap was lifted from the inside. Yino turned to look and saw a loli deergirl who looked only about ten years old, with nine-colored antlers on her head and wearing a fluffy long-sleeved robe, walking out.
“Hmph! Yino!”
“From now on, you can’t bully me for not being able to speak human language anymore!”
She put her hands on her hips again, raising her little face, very proudly shouting at Yino.
Yino turned his head to look, curiously squatting down.
He stared at the nine-colored patterns on the deergirl’s forehead for a while.
Finally, while the girl was still feeling smug, Yino reached out his index finger and poked her upturned little nose, “Bad little deer, call me Master.”
“Yino!”
“Call me Master.”
“YINO! YINO! YINO! YINO!”
“Hey, you–?”
