Cave Healing II

Xiao Tian gently undid the buttons of the Inner Armor one by one. His fingers occasionally brushed against Yun Yun's body as he worked, and he could clearly feel her tense up whenever he accidentally touched her.

After undoing the last button, Xiao Tian carefully removed the Inner Armor from Yun Yun's body. Her ivory-white skin and perfectly curved upper body were exposed before his eyes. Xiao Tian lost himself for a moment, then hurriedly cast the thoughts from his mind. After taking a deep breath, he spread a piece of clothing over the stone platform and gently helped Yun Yun lie down on it. "I'm going to start cleaning your wounds. You took Pain Relief earlier, but it may still hurt a little."

"Mm, thank you." A faint blush gradually spread across Yun Yun's face. Her delicate body trembled slightly, though her voice remained quite calm.

Xiao Tian took clean cotton cloth from the System Space, poured the pale green liquid for cleaning wounds onto it, and carefully cleaned the injuries.

During the process, Yun Yun thought about how she was completely naked before Xiao Tian. Her body remained tense, and her eyelashes trembled constantly. She was nothing like the calm and unruffled tone of her voice.

Yun Yun lowered her head and looked at Xiao Tian, who was carefully and earnestly cleaning her wounds. Although he had seen her entire body, her eyes still held an added measure of gratitude.

After Xiao Tian finished cleaning the wounds, he raised his head and saw Yun Yun looking at him. "Don't worry. It'll be done soon."

Xiao Tian picked up the last Jade Bottle and poured out the white powder inside. He sprinkled it evenly over the wounds, then took out another clean blood-stopping cotton cloth and wrapped her injuries.

"All done. You can't wear your clothes anymore—they're covered in blood. Wear mine for now. I can only treat your wounds; as for the Seal on your body, you'll have to deal with it yourself." A black robe appeared in Xiao Tian's hands. Yun Yun's strength was sealed, so she could not open her Storage Ring.

He carefully helped Yun Yun sit up and lean against his shoulder, then carefully helped her put on the robe and tied the belt. After that, he gently laid her back down.

"All done. You're dressed."

Wearing a man's robe, Yun Yun looked more heroic, giving her a distinct charm.

"Thank you."

Yun Yun, lying down, smiled brightly at Xiao Tian. Her shy blush, peerless beauty, and heroic bearing appeared together in a contradictory yet captivating combination. That smile nearly made Xiao Tian lose control.

The scene from when he had treated her wounds involuntarily surfaced in his mind. Xiao Tian hurriedly recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra. "The heart is clear as ice, and even the sky falling causes no alarm; amidst ten thousand changes, the mind remains steady, the spirit joyful and the breath calm."

If I lose control, a Dou Emperor will hunt me down like crazy in the future. He shook his head. It was better to take things slowly. At the very least, she had to take the initiative. I'm definitely making her my wife. Only children make choices—I want all of it.

Xiao Tian quickly packed everything away and headed toward the cave entrance. He felt that he could not stay here any longer, or someone might end up dead.

"Are you leaving?" Seeing Xiao Tian walk toward the cave entrance, Yun Yun asked anxiously.

"No. Don't worry. You're the wounded person I saved. I'll see this through to the end—I won't abandon you here. The entire Monster Mountain Range is looking for you, so I'm going out to check the situation." Without turning around, Xiao Tian waved his hand behind him as he spoke.

When he reached the area near the cave entrance, Xiao Tian sensed that there were no magical beasts nearby. He remembered that he had not yet checked in at the Mountain Cave. He had been busy applying medicine and admiring the beauty before him, so he had not had the time.

"System Check-in."

[ Ding! Check-in at Yun Yun's Healing Cave successful. Reward: Two-star realm advancement, Thunder Liquid ×5 drops ]

Thunder Liquid: Formed from condensed thunder energy, it contains abundant lightning-attributed energy.

Xiao Tian carefully sensed the energy contained in the Thunder Liquid inside the System Space. After receiving the System Check-in reward, he was now a Nine-Star Dou Master. It could help him break through to Da Dou Shi.

Xiao Tian continued sensing the surroundings. After surveying the calm area, he caught one large fish and two smaller ones from the pool. He cleaned them, burned away the organs with the Qilin Burning Sky Flame, and put the fish into the System Space. On the way back, he replenished some Medicinal Powder and Concealment Powder, ensuring that no magical beasts would come over before turning back.

"Jiang Feng, you're back." Seeing Xiao Tian return, Yun Yun's worried heart finally settled, and her voice carried a trace of excitement and happiness. She was not a Dou Emperor powerhouse now, but a helpless young woman who could neither use Dou Qi nor move. Losing her Dou Qi had left her terrified and insecure, afraid that Xiao Tian would leave.

"Mm. Let's hide here for the time being. There's no danger nearby, and I've taken appropriate precautions." Xiao Tian entered and saw that her complexion had improved somewhat. He estimated that she would be able to move on her own again by tomorrow.

In a cave somewhere in the Monster Mountain Range.

Xiao Tian turned the grilled fish in his hand while sprinkling seasoning over it. Its rich aroma drifted through the cave without stopping. Fortunately, the cave was very deep, so the scent could not escape.

A simple stove had been set up nearby, with fish porridge simmering on top. He had first boiled the fish soup, filtered out the bones and meat, then added rice and cooked it. He had also added quite a few herbs, some for replenishing nutrients and others for replenishing blood. Xiao Tian had prepared the fish porridge for Yun Yun.

Yun Yun, lying nearby, turned her head and stared intently at Xiao Tian as he earnestly prepared the food. A strange glimmer occasionally flashed through her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Xiao Tian poured the cooked fish porridge into a bowl and set it aside to cool naturally.

When the fish finished grilling, he moved the skewer farther from the fire, but still close enough to receive a little warmth, keeping it warm.

He came to the fish porridge and touched the bowl with his hand, checking its temperature. It was just right—not too hot or cold. He carried it to Yun Yun. "This fish porridge is for you. I added Medicinal Herbs that are good for your body and can speed up your recovery. Will you drink it yourself, or should I help you?"

Yun Yun struggled to sit up, but she still could not rise. Suddenly, she felt a strong arm wrap around and lift her upper body, after which she leaned against a warm embrace.

Seeing Yun Yun's pupils widen and her body tense, Xiao Tian said gently, "Yun Zhi, you can't move easily, so let me help you up. Otherwise, your wound may split open, and the porridge will get cold."

Yun Yun blushed shyly as she leaned against Xiao Tian's chest. Seeing this, Xiao Tian said nothing more. He picked up the fish porridge from the side, scooped up a spoonful, and brought it to Yun Yun's lips. Yun Yun opened her mouth instinctively and ate it, chewing slowly.

A moment later, Yun Yun had finished all the fish porridge in the bowl. Xiao Tian set down the bowl, took out a piece of cotton cloth, wiped the corners of her mouth clean, then lowered her body back into its original position.

After taking away the bowl, Xiao Tian returned to the stone where he had been sitting to grill the fish. He sat down, picked up the still-warm grilled fish, and began eating. He had been busy for Yun Yun all day and could finally eat something himself.

Before long, Xiao Tian finished the entire grilled fish, wiped his mouth clean, washed his hands with water, and walked over to Yun Yun.
