"Oh? So do you want to do it with or without the clothes on?"

The face of the Fire God instantly turned red like a tomato.

"Wh-What are you asking!?" He shrieked in defiance.

"A simple question, young God. Don't tell me" She bent forward until her face almost touched his. Yang gulped and considered retreating, but his pride prevented him. When he felt her index finger under his chin, his heart beat frantically.

"That you are an almost thousand years old virgin?" Ying was so close that he could feel her warm breath.

"I-I, of course I am not." He forced out in panic.

"Such a liar." A hint of a smirk could be seen on her otherwise cold face.

"Do not laugh! I am still very young. When we leave this place I will have a lot of females competing for my favor."

"Such arrogance." She said in a belittling voice while slowly shaking her head.

"So what? Don't tell me that you aren't a virgin?" While asking this, the Fire God prayed internally that she wasn't. The thought of her being together with someone else left a sour feeling in his mouth.

The air immediately felt colder as the Ice God freezed. Even if she tried to act normally, Yang could clearly see that she had been affected by the question and not in a positive way. Had something bad happened to her?

"If we do the act right now, I would certainly not be." She responded in her usual tone, but it felt stiffer than normal.

"But this might not be the best moment to lose it, so let's just sleep for now."

With that said, she moved away from the young man and wrapped her pelt around herself only. Luckily it was quite large, so it could fit around her entire body except for her head. To keep it warm, she wrapped the scarf around it. Then she lied down and closed her eyes, signalling that the conversation was over.

Yang felt like he stepped on a land mine and promised himself to investigate this further after leaving this place. This was the first time since he had met her at the Grand Festival in the Beast Realm that she had been this bothered by something and he didn't like it. Now he could only copy her actions and rest.

Because of their exhaustion, they fell asleep almost instantly.
