Encountering Yun Yun Again

After sending Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei into the tower to cultivate, Ye Tian continued wandering through the Monster Mountain Range, searching for Spirit Herbs to refine pills. Among them was a Fifth-grade Pill called the Mysterious Ascension Pill, which could raise his strength. Besides that, he also began researching some Sixth-grade Pills.

Time slowly passed, and before he knew it, another period had gone by. Ye Tian had already spent a year training in the Monster Mountain Range, so it was about time for him to leave.

Bang...

That day, after Ye Tian killed a Sky Splitting Tiger whose strength was comparable to an Initial-stage Dou Wang, he found a pool beneath a waterfall and prepared to wash up.

Ye Tian had now reached the Three-star Dou Spirit realm, so he no longer had much to worry about. He did not summon the White Jade Kirin to stand watch for him either. As for Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian, they were busy cultivating the Universe Soul Forging Art and studying Formation knowledge, so Ye Tian could not be bothered to interrupt them.

Bang, bang...

Not long after Ye Tian entered the water, fierce sounds of battle came from the distant horizon, and powerful shockwaves spread in every direction.

"Looks like she still came."

Feeling the powerful battle shockwaves from afar, Ye Tian knew that Yun Yun had begun fighting the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Judging from the direction of the sounds, Ye Tian estimated that the battlefield was at least a dozen miles away.

The battle lasted for an entire day. Then, the sounds of combat gradually vanished. Ye Tian knew the battle had ended and was preparing to check on the injured Yun Yun.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Just then, a graceful blue figure flew above Ye Tian. Immediately afterward, the person abruptly fell straight down.

Seeing that the newcomer was Yun Yun, Ye Tian had no choice but to stop what he was doing. He then looked around in every direction, searching for traces of that guy Xiao Yan.

"Huh! That guy Xiao Yan didn't come? Could he still be grinding dungeons in Qingshan Town?"

After sensing the area within a thousand meters and finding no trace of Xiao Yan's Aura, Ye Tian was somewhat surprised. It seemed that arranging Boss Yao's dungeon had made that fellow miss this grand spectacle.

At that moment, Xiao Yan really was doing exactly as Ye Tian had guessed, searching all over Qingshan Town for Yao Wanqian. After Ye Tian slaughtered his way through Wutan City, the news had long since reached Qingshan Town. Yao Wanqian was terrified out of his wits and had no choice but to hide somewhere.

"Ye Tian!..."

Splash...

At the moment Yun Yun fell, she also caught sight of Ye Tian. She was instantly overjoyed, but she could not react at all in her current state. She crashed into the pool, sending up enormous waves, then fainted.

Whoosh...

Hearing Yun Yun fall into the water, Ye Tian came back to his senses. He directly formed a Long Ribbon out of Dou Qi, fished Yun Yun out of the pool, carried her into a dry cave nearby, and laid her on a stone slab.

Several deep claw marks covered Yun Yun's chest, blood flowing continuously from them. Although she wore a blue defensive treasure armor, it had not done much good.

The hideous wounds and bright-red blood ruined the beautiful sight before Ye Tian, making it difficult for him to bear looking at it.

"You're a mighty Dou Emperor, yet you got yourself into such a miserable state. Right now, any random first-tier Magic Beast could kill you."

Looking at the soaking-wet Yun Yun, Ye Tian did not know where to begin. He could only take out a bottle of medicinal liquid and drip it onto the wounds on her chest, waking her through the pain.

"Mmng..."

Sure enough, once the medicinal liquid touched her wounds, Yun Yun was stimulated by it and slowly woke up.

"You're awake."

Seeing Yun Yun awaken, Ye Tian helped her sit up on the stone slab.

"Thank you."

Yun Yun weakly thanked Ye Tian. If she had not encountered this Little Fellow, she would surely have died this time.

"I'll go gather some dry firewood. Take off your wet clothes and change into something dry."

"Here are some medicinal liquid for cleaning wounds and healing powder. Treat yourself."

Ye Tian took out a robe and some healing medicine from his Ring of Holding, placed them on the stone slab, then headed outside the cave.

"I was sealed by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, and I don't have a shred of strength left. You should... help me."

Yun Yun bit her lip and looked at Ye Tian shyly. The wound on her chest was too severe; even the slightest movement caused unbearable pain. She could only ask this Little Fellow for help.

"That wouldn't be appropriate, would it? Men and women should keep their distance."

Seeing that Yun Yun did not treat him like an outsider, Ye Tian froze. Big sister, are you really using this to test an official? What official could withstand a test like this?

"Ye Tian, help me, please?"

Yun Yun looked at Ye Tian with a flushed face and pleading eyes.

"Then let's agree on this first. Once you recover your strength, you're not allowed to hack me with a sword."

Since Yun Yun had put it that way, Ye Tian could only lend her a hand. After all, helping others was the virtue of every model young man.

"Should I close my eyes?"

Ye Tian felt too embarrassed to start, so he asked Yun Yun for her opinion. With his current soul perception, he could see even more clearly than with his eyes open.

"This kid is so hesitant just because he's saving a woman. As a cultivator, why care about such things?"

At the same time, Jin Yan in the Chaos Tower found Ye Tian's awkward expression rather amusing. However, she had no intention of letting Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian out right now. Those two girls were in secluded cultivation, and besides, this was a chance to test the Little Fellow's self-control.

"No need! I'm not someone who repays kindness with enmity."

Yun Yun made her stance clear. She told Ye Tian to proceed without concern. She did not mind him seeing her body, and besides, she knew this Little Fellow. He was someone she could trust.

"Alright, then."

Seeing that Yun Yun herself did not mind, Ye Tian began removing her dress. Yet when he saw the hideous injuries on her chest, all his messy thoughts instantly vanished.

"Should I remove this treasure armor too?"

After quickly taking off Yun Yun's wet clothes, only her treasure armor remained.

"Take it off. It'll make applying the medicine easier."

"If not for this treasure armor, that lion would probably have torn my body apart with its claws."

Recalling her previous battle with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Yun Yun felt that she had truly escaped death by a hair's breadth.

Click...

After Yun Yun agreed, Ye Tian reached behind her and unfastened the metal clasps, removing her treasure armor. He then swiftly picked up the dry robe and covered her delicate body with it.

"Hiss! Your injuries are pretty serious!"

Ye Tian saw that two of the wounds on Yun Yun's chest had exposed bone, and his scalp immediately went numb.

"Bear with it. I'll clean the wounds first, then apply the medicine."

Ye Tian quickly picked up the medicinal liquid, cleaned the wounds on Yun Yun's chest, and applied healing powder.

"Hiss! Ah..."

When the medicinal liquid touched the wounds, Yun Yun felt piercing pain shoot through her heart and could not help letting out a moan.

"Stop moaning. You're a dignified Dou Emperor, and you can't even endure this little pain?"

Ye Tian could not stand the woman's constant soft cries, so he sternly scolded her. At the same time, he grumbled inwardly, I'm treating your injuries, yet you're disturbing my cultivation heart?

"Don't be so fierce. I won't make a sound anymore."

Hearing Ye Tian's stern voice, Yun Yun suddenly felt something strange in her heart. She then gritted her teeth and endured the pain.

"I was born into a Mercenary family and began venturing into the Monster Mountain Range in my teens. Getting injured was common. Over time, I learned how to treat injuries. Later, Xiao Yi Xian taught me some healing knowledge as well, so now I'm a professional physician too."

"Although your injuries are severe, under my treatment, you'll recover in three days. I can even guarantee that the wounds won't leave scars."

As Ye Tian spoke, he carefully cleaned Yun Yun's wounds, distracting her attention.

"Thank you."

"You're already a Fourth Grade Alchemist. Your reputation has long spread throughout the Jama Empire."

Yun Yun thought very highly of Ye Tian, this mysterious young man, and had always held a favorable impression of him.

"A mere Fourth Grade Alchemist is nothing remarkable."

Ye Tian smiled calmly, not thinking it was anything impressive.

"Too much modesty is pride, you know! You achieved something others can only dream of at such a young age. How are the rest of us supposed to feel?"

Looking at Ye Tian's calm and detached manner, Yun Yun felt that this Little Fellow did not resemble a teenager at all.

"Alright! I've treated your wounds."

After applying the healing medicine to Yun Yun's wounds, Ye Tian took out a piece of gauze from his Ring of Holding, wrapped her chest up like a dumpling, then covered her with the robe again.

"These are pills I refined. Take them first and recover from your internal injuries."

Ye Tian then took out an Injury Recovery Pill and a Foundation Cultivation Pill and placed them in Yun Yun's mouth.

"Thank you! I don't even know how I could repay such a great kindness."

After swallowing the pills, Yun Yun felt her internal injuries ease considerably, and her heart was filled with gratitude.

"Forget about repaying me. Tell me, how did you end up fighting that lioness?"

This was Ye Tian's fourth time meeting Yun Yun, so they could be considered acquaintances. Since he had encountered her in trouble, naturally he had to help.

"I learned that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King possessed Purple Crystal Stone. I originally wanted to trade a Fifth-tier Magic Core and a Black-tier Cultivation Method for it, but that lion refused. I could only try to take it by force, but I was no match for it."

"Fortunately, I ran into you. Otherwise, I would certainly have perished in the Monster Mountain Range."

Yun Yun explained the reason behind everything to Ye Tian. There was nothing worth hiding anyway.

"What do you need that thing for?"

Ye Tian knew that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's Purple Crystal Stone was actually a fire-attributed energy crystal. It was a rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that could also be used to refine pills. However, there was also the Companion Purple Crystal Source, another Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

"My disciple wants to defeat Xiao Yan during the Three-Year Agreement. I wanted to use that Purple Crystal Stone to refine a Fourth-grade Pill for her and help raise her strength. The pill is called the Purple Splendor Pill, and it can speed up her cultivation."

Yun Yun gave a bitter smile and told Ye Tian about this matter as well.

"You really are a good Teacher."

Ye Tian promptly praised Yun Yun. For the sake of her disciple, this woman had nearly thrown away her life.
