Healing Wounds

Ye Qiu slowly walked over to the woman and checked her breathing. "She's still alive." He found that although she had fallen unconscious from severe injuries, she was still breathing.

With a wave of his hand, he used gravity to shatter the ice embedded in the woman's chest. Then Ye Qiu slipped one arm beneath her head and the other beneath her calves, lifted her up, and headed toward the cave where he lived. The astonishing elasticity of the soft skin on her calves made his arm feel exceedingly comfortable.

"Ah." Suddenly, a faint, almost negligible muffled sound reached Ye Qiu's ears. "Oh? That one's alive too?!"

Carrying Qing Ye, Ye Qiu walked toward the White-Clothed Youth. The young man lay in a pool of blood, covered in bloodstains. Every rib in his chest had been broken, and though unconscious, he occasionally let out painful groans.

"You're quite a man of loyalty and devotion too, but..." Ye Qiu glanced at the beauty in his arms and sighed. "Sigh, take care." A stream of Healing Power from Lesser Light Magic shot from his eyes and entered the youth's body. Then Ye Qiu flew toward the cave with the woman.

Looking at the Five-Colored Tree at the entrance, Ye Qiu estimated that it would mature in about two more days. He nodded, entered the cave, and used gravity to suspend the woman in midair. He took two blankets from his storage ring and spread them on the ground before slowly lowering her onto them.

"Now that I look closely, not only does she have a devilish figure, but her face is beautiful too. She's like a wild ice beauty." Ye Qiu carefully examined the woman lying there and gave his assessment.

"Hm?" Feeling the cold Qi within the woman continually eroding her meridians and Five Viscera and Six Bowels, Ye Qiu could not help frowning. He looked toward the source of the cold Qi—her proud twin peaks.

"I didn't notice it before, but that Wild Tiger's ice strike was pretty powerful. It actually managed to send cold Qi into a person's body. Hmph." With a flick of his finger, Ye Qiu lit the firewood, illuminating the cave and bringing a trace of warmth to the woman whose frozen lips had turned pale.

"Uh? I admit that I saved you before because you were beautiful and I wanted to win your favor, but what's happening now... I really didn't expect it. Really." Ye Qiu spoke to the unconscious Qing Ye. The woman had taken the Wild Tiger's ice ball head-on in the chest, and cold Qi had entered her body. To remove it completely, he had to draw it out from the source. Otherwise, even if she survived, she would only be able to lie in bed for the rest of her life. So...

Ye Qiu sent a stream of Healing Power into Qing Ye to stop the bleeding from her external wounds. Then he slowly reached for the buttons on the leather outfit over her chest, gently undoing them to avoid aggravating her injuries. After unfastening the buttons, Ye Qiu lifted one side of the tight leather garment, held the other side in place, and gently tore it apart. A patch of full, bronze-colored skin slowly appeared before the young man's eyes.

"No underwear!" Ye Qiu said in surprise. But on second thought, it was not strange for someone wearing such tight clothing not to have anything underneath. Swallowing, Ye Qiu used the opening to slowly tear away the rest of the woman's leather outfit, fully revealing her graceful body before him. Fully? Ye Qiu lowered his head to look at the leather skirt beneath her body, his mouth going dry.

"Damn it, your thighs are injured too. I'll treat them all at once—no need to thank me!" Ye Qiu gritted his teeth and went all in. He reached to the woman's waist, gently undid her belt, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and pulled.

The leather skirt silently fell away, and a healthy, wheat-colored, delicate body appeared before the young man. Someone's breathing could not help growing slightly heavier. If anyone could still remain calm in such a situation, then he probably was not really a man.

He first wiped down her body, washing away the bloodstains to prevent the wounds from becoming infected. Then he lightly bandaged her injuries. Finally, Ye Qiu activated Light Healing Magic, gathering it in his hands before pressing them against her proud jade peaks. Their soft elasticity made Ye Qiu's heart race. Healing Power slowly flowed into the woman's body, driving out the cold Qi and treating her internal injuries...

Several times during the process, Ye Qiu nearly lost control and wanted to take the unconscious beauty right then and there. Yet the faint sense of guilt deep in his heart kept him from going through with it. Still, he did not pass up the advantages his hands could take. While driving out the frostbite around her chest, he thoroughly fondled those proud jade peaks, taking every possible liberty.

"Mm, having such a great beauty here is quite pleasing to the eye. Mm, it gives me even more motivation to cultivate!" Ye Qiu had saved the woman for two reasons. First, he had been attracted by her beauty and figure and wanted to play the hero saving the beauty. Second, he had been alone for so long without even anyone to talk to—it was terribly boring. Finding a beautiful woman to keep him company and chat with would not be bad, and if things could develop further, Ye Qiu certainly would not mind! Haha, rather shameless.

After dressing the woman in one of his own long robes, the young man left the cave. Don't ask why he did not put her in women's clothes. Come on, would Ye Qiu prepare women's clothing when going out? Why not buy some from the shop? What a joke—use Myriad Realms Coins to buy clothes for a woman? That was not what Myriad Realms Coins were for. Besides, if he put women's clothes on her, what would he say when she woke up and asked where they had come from?

Ye Qiu formed hand seals and removed the Crystal Release protection and Three Elements Barrier around the Five-Colored Tree. Crystal Release cut off the air, which was not good for plants, and there was no need for it while he was here.

"Time to continue cultivating, ah!" Ye Qiu soared into the air, his Aluminum Alloy Sword sweeping freely as sword Qi crisscrossed the air. "One Finger Yang Skill!" Ye Qiu leaped up and spun rapidly. Countless streams of One Finger Yang Skill sword Qi shot outward in every direction from the young man. Whether rock or tree, anything struck within the Small Valley was pierced straight through.
