I don't care about any woman, why are you shy?

Outside the imperial capital of the Star Luo Empire, in the Soul Beast Forest.

"Yan'er, Yan'er!"

Ye Yuan was covered in cold sweat, his face pale, though he looked much better than before.

"Brother, it hurts. They were bullying Yan'er along with the soldiers."

"Brother, save me. They hit Yan'er, Yan'er is in pain..."

"Brother, where are you..."

The helpless expression of Qin Yan'er kept flashing through Ye Yuan's mind.

"Wait for me, wait for me!" He suddenly opened his tightly shut eyes and let out a shout.

Ye Yuan looked around, dazed and confused.

He hadn't died, but he didn't know how he had ended up here.

He only remembered crawling for who knew how long before losing consciousness.

"You're awake." A female voice drifted over.

Ye Yuan instantly looked toward the source of the sound with vigilance.

A slender, graceful figure appeared not far away.

She possessed a nearly perfect face and an equally perfect figure, her ample bosom tightly wrapped in white clothing, threatening to burst forth.

Her long, fair legs were faintly visible beneath the slit of her skirt.

Her fair skin, paired with a white dress embroidered with gold patterns, made her look noble and sacred, like an Angel.

Even though the woman before him was extremely beautiful, Ye Yuan couldn't muster any impure thoughts at this moment.

With his legs crushed, Ye Yuan could only lean against a nearby tree to slowly stand up.

The woman spoke again: "Your complexion is much better than before you fell unconscious. It seems your Martial Soul has already begun to gradually repair itself."

Ye Yuan was shocked. How did she know his Martial Soul was repairing itself?

"Who is it? Could it be someone from the Star Luo Empire sent to hunt me down!"

Ye Yuan's gaze was drawn to a large wooden barrel beside the woman.

The barrel was big enough to hold an entire person.

It was filled with an unknown green liquid that was slowly emitting white mist.

"Since you're awake, get in. This medicinal bath can heal the injuries on your body."

"After soaking for about an hour, your legs will be able to set."

"The repair speed of your Martial Soul will also accelerate."

Ye Yuan remained unmoved, maintaining his vigilance.

No one helps a person for no reason.

"Who are you, and why are you helping me? Or are you one of the Star Luo Empire Emperor's people?"

"Looking at my current state, do you want to toy with me?"

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Still as cautious as ever."

The woman walked slowly toward Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan channeled the small amount of soul power he had recovered, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

As he channeled his soul power, he sensed the immense soul power radiating from this incredibly beautiful woman.

"Level 61 Soul Emperor!"

Ye Yuan was somewhat startled. He had seen many geniuses in the Star Luo Empire, and he himself was a genius.

But he had never seen a genius like the woman before him.

This woman was not much older than him, likely only five or six years his senior.

Yet she was already a Soul Emperor!

He reviewed the memories of his past life.

He already had a guess as to the woman's identity.

The woman walked to Ye Yuan's side, her breath sweet like orchids, a warm scent brushing gently against the tip of Ye Yuan's nose.

"My name is Qian Renxue," she said.

Ye Yuan's pupils constricted, and he thought: As expected! My guess was right!

In the current Douluo Continent, there was only one person who could possess such talent, and that was Qian Renxue of the Martial Soul Hall.

However, what he found strange was that, according to the original timeline, shouldn't Qian Renxue be in the Heaven Dou Empire?

Why would she come to the Star Luo Empire?

Could it be that my arrival in this world has triggered a butterfly effect?

"I saved you and brought you here."

"Rest assured, the two Soul Ancestors who were tailing you in the shadows have already been dealt with by me."

Afterward, Qian Renxue hopped playfully behind Ye Yuan.

Pointing to the tub in front of him, she said, "That is a medicinal bath I prepared for you. You just need to take off your clothes and get in."

"As for why I saved you... hmm... I'll tell you later."

"So, how about it? Have you considered it?"

Ye Yuan did not know why Qian Renxue would save him.

He only knew that for the moment, this woman would not harm him, and given her strength, she could have easily beaten his former self to a pulp.

He had no choice.

If Ye Yuan refused, once the Star Luo Empire discovered that the people they sent had died, they would send even stronger individuals to hunt him down.

By then, he would truly have no way to escape.

He could not die yet; Yan'er might still be waiting for him.

He had yet to take revenge on Dai Mubai; he could not just die like this!

Even if the price for accepting this help was immense, it was still better than being dead.

Seeing that Ye Yuan remained motionless, Qian Renxue teased, "What, are you shy because I'm here?"

Her words carried a flirtatious tone, and the gaze she fixed on Ye Yuan held an inexplicable, infatuated longing.

If Qian Renxue's grandfather, Qian Daoliu, were here, he would surely be shocked.

After all, in his impression, his granddaughter had always maintained an image of being aloof, hardworking, and keeping her distance from men.

When had she ever shown such an expression as she did now!

Ye Yuan was not shy; he had just been thinking.

But now that he had made up his mind, there was no need for him to dawdle.

He leaned against the nearby boulder and shakily made his way toward the medicinal bath.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue felt a pang of heartache.

She walked over to support Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan was startled by this sudden gesture.

In the original story, Qian Renxue always maintained an absolute distance from men.

She was the symbol of the holy Angel.

Qian Renxue noticed his gaze and felt somewhat uncomfortable under his scrutiny.

She said, "What are you looking at? Once you're recovered, you have to agree to my demands!"

"I expect a return on my investment!"

Ye Yuan was no longer surprised.

That was true; there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Ye Yuan was supported by Qian Renxue to the side of the medicinal bath.

He slowly took off his upper garment.

His strong muscles were revealed, and the lines of his physique were nearly perfect.

By all accounts, this body was not something someone of his current age should possess.

It was mainly because, as the Royal Knight Commander of the Star Luo Empire, the requirements for physical combat were extremely high.

Moreover, in his daily life, apart from cultivation, he was constantly tempering his body.

That was what had forged this physique.

Ye Yuan paused his movements.

He looked at Qian Renxue standing to the side.

"Continue. If I, a woman, don't care, why are you, a man, being so coy?"

Qian Renxue's tone was cold, as if she were completely unmoved.

Ye Yuan thought about it, and she was right; if she didn't mind, why should he, a man, be so hesitant?

He took off his trousers and, with Qian Renxue's assistance, sat into the medicinal bath.

What Ye Yuan did not notice was that the roots of Qian Renxue's ears had already turned bright red.

Her fair cheeks were now like ripe apples.

But Ye Yuan could no longer see this side of Qian Renxue.

As soon as he entered the medicinal bath, he felt a pain throughout his entire body as if he were being bitten by ants and venomous insects.

The longer the time passed, the clearer and more intense this pain became!

Ye Yuan kept his eyes tightly shut and began to circulate his soul power throughout his body, absorbing the medicinal properties.

He could feel the bones in his legs beginning to recover.

Qian Renxue, who was to the side, turned around.

She covered both cheeks with her hands.

Her eyes were filled with hearts.

No wonder he grows up to be so big; it turns out he was gifted with such talent...

She shook her head and couldn't help but think to herself, "Qian Renxue, you really are a lovesick fool."

She turned to look at Ye Yuan again and said, "However, I would only be like this for you, A-Yuan."

"Do you think we can change the ending..." she murmured.
