Healing Ning Hongye, Yan Ruyu Visits!

Inside, steam and mist filled the air.

Yet, Ning Hongye's form was still visible, her skin as smooth and warm as white jade, her two slender arms casually resting on the edge of the wooden tub.

Though only a view of her back, it was still breathtakingly beautiful, capable of stirring wild fantasies.

"Who?"

Ning Hongye whipped her head around.

Xiao Yang, meanwhile, saw her perfect figure and felt a heat rush through his body, almost making him want to bleed from the nose.

Too beautiful!

It was truly a gift from the Creator.

He had seen the most beautiful woman in the Northern Territory's four states before, Yan Ruyu, who was already a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky.

But compared to the Ning Hongye before him, she seemed a notch below.

Her beauty was hard to describe in words, impossible to capture with ink.

It was as if any man who gazed upon her would be utterly captivated, completely lost.

Xiao Yang finally understood why she always wore a mask.

If she didn't, she might bring ruin to the nation and incite countless lords to wage war for her.

"Gulp!"

Xiao Yang couldn't help but swallow, his eyes glued to her.

"Is it nice to look at?"

Suddenly, Ning Hongye's lips parted, but her tone was laced with bone-chilling coldness.

"Mhm."

Xiao Yang nodded frantically, then realized something was wrong.

After all, he had barged in uninvited and stumbled upon such an intimate scene. With Ning Hongye's temper, wouldn't she just go on a killing spree?

Suddenly, Ning Hongye beckoned with her jade-like hand, and a light veil from afar floated over, covering her perfect body.

"If it were any other man, let alone daring to look at me like this, even just seeing my face, I would have dug out his eyeballs long ago!"

"But since you donated your Spirit Eye to me, I'll let it slide this time... Now get out!"

Ning Hongye said coldly.

"Sorry, I was too presumptuous!"

Xiao Yang felt a bit awkward and was about to retreat.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, Ning Hongye's delicate body trembled violently, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the water in the tub red.

"Miss Ning, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yang immediately rushed over, asking anxiously.

At this moment, the two were very close, so close he could see their reflections in each other's eyes.

And though she was covered by a light veil, her body was faintly visible, making her even more alluring.

"You—"

Ning Hongye wanted to scold him, but a sharp pain surged through her body, rendering her speechless.

She was covered in sweat, as if enduring immense agony.

"What exactly is wrong with you?" Xiao Yang pressed.

"I... was seriously injured in the Outer Regions and contaminated by demonic energy! Although I've been suppressing it with my cultivation, I still suffer from backlash from time to time..."

Ning Hongye explained, her words intermittent, a rare look of vulnerability on her beautiful face.

At this moment, she didn't seem like the Female God of Slaughter, but rather like a little girl who needed protection.

"How can the demonic energy be dispelled?" Xiao Yang asked again.

"Only by finding something extremely yang and extremely strong in the world can it be dispelled! Xiao Yang, you don't need to mind me, I can suppress it with my cultivation..." Ning Hongye said.

Extremely yang and extremely strong?

Xiao Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Alright, I'll help you heal!"

With that, he reached out and placed his hand on Ning Hongye's beautiful back, desperately channeling his internal energy.

"No need to help me, it's useless—"

Ning Hongye's words stopped abruptly.

Because she was astonished to find that although Xiao Yang's internal energy was far from as powerful as hers, it seemed to be the nemesis of that demonic energy.

The moment they touched, it was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, melting away instantly.

"How is this possible? Could he be..."

Ning Hongye was greatly shocked.

In fact, Xiao Yang had previously consumed the Yin Yang Creation Pill, undergone a complete transformation, and become the Innate Yin-Yang Sacred Body (Yang).

Therefore, he possessed the most supreme Yang and most rigid body.

"It seems it's working! Miss Ning, this isn't convenient. How about I join you in the wooden tub too?"

"Don't worry, I'll cover my eyes with a black cloth. I absolutely won't take advantage of you!"

Xiao Yang proactively suggested.

Ning Hongye, however, fell silent.

Although she was stunningly beautiful, she had never had any intimate contact with a man, let alone bathing in the same wooden tub.

But firstly, Xiao Yang was her fiancé in name.

Secondly, Xiao Yang had won her favor through his actions time and again, and now he was going to heal her injuries, making it impossible for her to refuse.

Seeing that she didn't object, Xiao Yang covered his eyes with a black cloth and then flipped himself into the wooden tub.

"Splash!"

Water splashed everywhere, and a lot of it spilled out.

The wooden tub wasn't large. With the two of them inside, their bodies were almost touching.

More importantly, Ning Hongye had been bathing just now, so she was completely naked.

"So fragrant!"

Xiao Yang instantly smelled a faint, refreshing fragrance.

They say a beauty's sweat is sweet, but he felt that Ning Hongye's bathwater was fragrant.

"Miss Ning, pardon me!"

Then, he placed his hands on Ning Hongye's beautiful back, continuously injecting his internal energy.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

Ning Hongye felt a wave of comfort and couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

But she quickly realized her impropriety, bit her teeth tightly, clenched her delicate fists, and stopped herself from making any further sounds.

The room was exceptionally quiet, with only the sound of their breathing.

Yet, an ambiguous atmosphere permeated the air, invisibly drawing them closer.

"Thank you for today!" Xiao Yang suddenly spoke.

"I told you, I don't care about you. I'm just repaying a debt of gratitude," Ning Hongye replied, still as proud as ever.

"But no matter what, I benefited from you! If not for our engagement, Father King wouldn't have leniently spared me! And you didn't even change your shoes when you came. You must have rushed here as soon as you heard the news?"

Xiao Yang pointed out this detail.

Hearing this, Ning Hongye's pretty face flushed, and her heart pounded wildly.

Damn it!

He noticed!

She had never experienced romantic feelings before, and now she was flustered and confused, unsure how to respond.

"Miss Ning, that's enough for today!"

Suddenly, Xiao Yang withdrew his hands and rolled out of the wooden tub.

"After a few more treatment sessions, your body's demonic energy should be completely cleared. I'll be heading back now!" Xiao Yang said his goodbyes.

He was covered in sweat and walked with a hunched back.

It was because he had become too aroused in the tub and couldn't suppress himself, forcing him to leave.

But this appearance led Ning Hongye to believe he had exhausted too much vital energy treating her.

For a moment, Ning Hongye felt a pang of concern.

"Oh, right. This Cloud Piercing Bow is a divine weapon I obtained from Xiao Li. It's said to have a range of a thousand zhang and has slain dozens of enemy generals. I'll gift it to you!"

Xiao Yang left the Cloud Piercing Bow behind before exiting the room.

Ning Hongye gazed at his departing back, unable to snap out of her daze for a long time. Finally, she murmured to herself.

"Xiao Lang, you treat me with sincerity, and I will never betray you in this life!!!"

A moment later, Xiao Yang returned to his mansion.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upwards as he savored the beautiful scenery from the wooden tub.

So moist!

Even a fleeting glimpse was unforgettable.

"Bang!"

Xiao Yang pushed open his bedroom door, ready to wash up and rest.

Suddenly, another peerless beauty appeared in his line of sight.

She was dressed in flowing white, her face like a peach blossom, radiant and captivating.

She possessed two completely different auras, at times like a holy maiden, at others like a charming enchantress!

And beneath her white dress, her two jade feet were exposed, her toes crystal clear, like the finest porcelain, so exquisite one wouldn't tire of them even after a year of admiration.

"Miss Yan, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Yang couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.

Wasn't this Yan Ruyu, the female Master Teacher from Jixia Academy?

"Jiu Lang, you're finally back!"

Upon seeing him, Yan Ruyu stood up and greeted him with great enthusiasm, as if she were the mistress of the house.

But the next moment, she frowned again, her face full of suspicion.

"Huh? Why are you drenched, and smelling so fragrant?"
