NOVEL WEB Chapter 173: Two moons
Yohan and Natasha could be seen walking in the direction where Yohan had seen those hills. He was in a hurry because as time passed, the temperature around the area started dropping very drastically. Neither of them had expected this, because in the daytime they were facing humidity and heat and both of them were drenched in sweat, and now things had become completely different.
"My legs are hurting. We have been walking around for a few hours and we have found nothing except for these dense trees. I think we are lost inside this forest," Natasha said as she walked beside Yohan. Hearing those words, Yohan looked towards her and his gaze went towards her. Her body was visible and she was not wearing full clothes.
"Do you want me to carry you? That way your body is going to stay warm. I don't know how much time it will take to find those hills or some place to stay," he said as he looked at Natasha.
Hearing those words, Natasha's face turned red and she looked at him with that face. Her heart started beating faster the moment she heard him. Her imagination started running wild. Seeing her deep in thought, Yohan took a deep breath and approached her.
"Don't be too persistent. I promised my grandpa that I am going to keep everyone safe no matter what," Yohan said as he looked towards Natasha and took her into his arms. Natasha couldn't resist him as she crossed her arms around his neck.
"Damn it, Natasha, your body is cold. When were you going to tell me about it, after freezing to death? You are insane and unavailable," he said, looking into her eyes.
Seeing his gaze towards her, she felt that her heart was about to leave her body and was going to run away.
"I don't want to become a burden for you. I am not weak so don't treat me like some kind of a weak woman," she responded to him.
Hearing those words, he smiled at her.
"Okay, I am sorry. I am not going to treat you like a weak woman, and I never did in the past. I am just worried about you. Because of me, you have ended up here, so you could say I am a little bit protective of you." Yohan looked into her deep blue eyes as he responded to her.
Hearing those words, her white cheeks became red and she put her head on his chest in shyness as she didn't want to look at Yohan with that expression.Yohan smiled after seeing this and started walking towards the direction where he saw those hills.
"You are very warm, don't you feel cold?'' Natasha asked Yohan as she felt warmth around him.
Yohan chuckled as he heard her and nodded his head in response.
"You are forgetting something. I am a cultivator and my physical attributes are different from normal humans, so yes, I am not feeling too cold," he responded to her with a smile.
Hearing those words, a bitter smile appeared on Natasha's face.
"Cultivator, huh...being a cultivator must feel good," she mumbled as she was in his embrace.
Yohan looked towards Natasha's face. He could see the sadness on her face, and the way she replied to him, her voice was carrying disappointment and regret. Natasha was feeling so many emotions at the same time.
Yohan remained calm as he saw this and didn't have anything to say to her, after all, he knew nothing about Natasha and she also didn't say anything to him. She laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes.
After walking a few more minutes, something unexpected happened as y
Yohan crossed the dense forest and his gaze went in a particular direction.
He smiled seeing the scenery in front of his eyes. The same thing piqued his interest as he looked towards the sky. There were two moons there along with the starry sky.
Natasha also opened her eyes as she felt that Yohan halted his movement. She tilted her head and looked towards Yohan. He was having a bright smile on his handsome face and he was looking at her.
"Look, finally we reached this place." Yohan looked towards Natasha as he said those words. Hearing those words and seeing his smile, she looked around her surroundings and her eyes lightened up.
She saw those giant hills and mountains which were almost touching the sky and she looked at Yohan with a smile, while Yohan took a deep sigh as he finally found those hills which he had seen a few hours ago from higher ground. His gaze went towards a particular direction where two hills were situated parallel to each other and down there, a giant cave could be seen.
"Damn it, I thought we were not going to make it out of that dense forest. It's impossible to travel during the night but thankfully, we made it and reached this place," Yohan said as he looked at Natasha.
"Yes, I am also happy that your intuition was right, and look at those moons. They are very bright and beautiful. I am glad that they are together just like us. I can't imagine living inside this place alone," Natasha said as she looked at Yohan, but the next moment something struck in her mind, and her expression became solemn.
Seeing those expressions on her face, Yohan became confused.
"What happened? Why are you making this kind of a face, are you all right?" he asked as he looked at her.
"That cave is still very far away, don't tell me you are going to put me down and make me walk all the way there," she said in a low voice.
Hearing Natasha's words, Yohan giggled and nodded his head in response.
"Don't worry, I am not going to put you down. You can stay beside me, that way your body is not going to feel cold," he responded to her. Hearing Yohan's words, Natasha smiled and again laid her head on his chest. She was starting to feel comfortable around him in a way that she had never felt in the past around any other man.
