27. Want a Hero to Save the Beauty?

A Hero Saving a Beauty?

Gu Fei had not originally intended to get involved in this mess.

Now that Xiao Yi Xian had awakened, he should have stayed by her side for a few more days to care for her, while also thinking of a way to resolve the hidden danger of the Woeful Poison Body.

However, on second thought, Yun Yun was an important character in the original story, so her Luck Value was surely quite high.

Even setting Yun Yun aside, the fortune possessed by the Amethyst Winged Lion King fighting her would far surpass that of ordinary magical beasts.

Therefore, Gu Fei did not hesitate for long before deciding to go over and take a look.

However, he worried that his sudden disappearance would make Xiao Yi Xian anxious, so before leaving, he briefly explained, "Xiao Yi Xian, I need to leave for a while. Take good care of yourself!"

Xiao Yi Xian felt reluctant to part with him. Emotion Value +100

A subtle reluctance rose in Xiao Yi Xian's heart, but she could only nod and obediently agree.

Above the azure sky, violent energy fluctuations continuously produced muffled thunder-like booms.

Gu Fei stared intently at the distant horizon, concealing his aura as he hurried toward it.

There, azure and crimson had nearly filled half the sky.

Even the languid white clouds had been dyed with glimmers of both colors.

Another thunderous boom rang out beside his ears. Gu Fei saw the purple radiance from the Amethyst Winged Lion King envelop the entire world.

After gathering power for a while, that purple radiance suddenly contracted.

In the blink of an eye, the purple light filling the sky had compressed into a deep purple beam only about half a foot thick.

The deep purple beam in the sky shot forth like lightning. Its speed was terrifying, almost as if it were teleporting. With only two flashes, it appeared before the petite figure in the sky.

With Gu Fei's eyesight, he could clearly make out the outline of that small figure even from far away.

The woman in the sky wore a plain dress that wrapped around her full figure. She held a strangely shaped longsword that emitted an azure glow. Her dark hair was arranged in a noble phoenix-style coiffure, and her beautiful face appeared tranquil and composed. Yet at this moment, as the Amethyst Winged Lion King began using its innate sealing technique, the calmness on her face finally vanished.

Clearly, this woman was Yun Yun, who had battled the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the original story.

"Amethyst Seal!"

As the purple light flashed through the sky, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's deep roar echoed continuously through the mountain range.

The Amethyst Seal made contact with the Wind Blade before Yun Yun, and in moments, it scattered it apart.

Gu Fei had only just arrived when this earth-shaking battle was already nearing its end.

With overwhelming force, the purple beam pierced through dozens of Wind Shields Yun Yun had set up before her in succession before finally shooting into her body.

Immediately afterward, the Amethyst Winged Lion King moved swiftly, its massive paw striking toward Yun Yun. As the longsword in her hand trembled, a thin ray of light suddenly shot out, forcibly severing half of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's horn!

"Roar... damn it!"

In pain, the Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a furious lion's roar.

Its claw, carrying incomparably savage force, struck heavily against Yun Yun's chest.

Amid a somewhat piercing metallic creak, Yun Yun, who had suffered the heavy blow, spat out a small mouthful of blood, her cheeks turning slightly pale.

Using the last of her strength, she flashed repeatedly and quickly vanished from the Lion King's sight. However, by then, she had already exhausted herself and directly fell unconscious.

"Whoosh..."

By coincidence, after losing consciousness, she fell straight toward Gu Fei.

"This..."

Gu Fei was stunned for a moment, then inexplicably reached out and caught the blood-covered Yun Yun.

Afterward, he held Yun Yun and concealed the aura emanating from both of them.

"Minions, search for her! You must find that human woman..."

In the sky, the Amethyst Winged Lion King discovered that Yun Yun's aura had vanished and roared furiously.

It dispatched its subordinate low-level magical beasts to search the area Yun Yun had fled toward.

Meanwhile, Gu Fei had already brought Yun Yun into the nearest cave.

Inside the cave was a stone platform made of bluestone. Yun Yun's injuries were rather severe, so Gu Fei carefully laid her down and closely examined the woman who had dared challenge the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

As Gu Fei studied her carefully, a sense of amazement naturally welled up within him.

Words used to describe beauty, such as picturesque brows and eyes, skin like jade and bones like ice, did not seem excessive for her.

Her lovely face was flawless in both bone structure and features. Her skin was delicate and snow-white, while her dark hair was neatly tied behind her head.

Moreover, what amazed Gu Fei most was the grace and nobility she possessed.

His gaze swept over her delicate face, smooth enough to seem as though it would break at a touch, then slowly moved downward. His brows, however, gradually furrowed.

Below her jade-like neck, across her chest, five terrifying claw marks oozed blood, staining her clothes crimson.

"She's actually this badly injured..."

The next moment, Gu Fei took out a medicinal pill from his Storage Ring and fed it into Yun Yun's mouth.

Gu Fei's pill was a sixth-grade healing pill, and its effects were exceptionally remarkable.

Yun Yun's terrifying-looking injuries were quickly stabilized.

Though the pill was good, the body's recovery process still caused pain.

As the medicinal effect took hold, Yun Yun's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of pain lingered on her cheeks. Although this expression did not quite suit her temperament, it made her look particularly pitiful and moving.

"It seems the pills I refined myself work fairly well..."

As Gu Fei watched Yun Yun's expression gradually relax, he let out a sigh of relief as well.

However, after a while, Yun Yun, whose eyes had been tightly shut, suddenly opened them.

A chill flickered in her beautiful eyes as she stared intently at Gu Fei. Her expression was completely different from the weakness she had displayed while in pain just moments ago.

Yun Yun felt wary. Emotion Value +100

"You are?"

Looking at the unfamiliar young man standing before her, Yun Yun asked with some confusion.

When Gu Fei had carried her into the cave earlier, Yun Yun had briefly awakened for an instant and vaguely caught sight of his face, but afterward, she remembered nothing at all.

Faced with an unfamiliar man appearing in the Monster Mountain Range, Yun Yun instinctively became somewhat wary.

"You were injured while fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King just now."

"However, after I fed you a healing pill, you're already out of danger. Although the blood on your body looks terrifying, the wounds have stopped bleeding and have healed more than halfway."

Gu Fei spoke very calmly.

Only after hearing this did Yun Yun lower her guard somewhat. When she tried to get up, however, she discovered that she was extremely weak and unable to use her Dou Qi.

She quickly realized that this was caused by the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Amethyst Seal.

Seeing the annoyance on Yun Yun's face, Gu Fei cleared his throat and continued, "As for the seal, you don't need to worry. In a couple of days, you'll be able to break through it yourself."

Yun Yun felt curious. Emotion Value +100

At this moment, Yun Yun had become somewhat curious about Gu Fei, because he looked far younger than she was.

At such an age, not only was his strength something even she could not see through, but he was also so knowledgeable about a skill like the Amethyst Seal.
