Healing Wounds

Yun Yun's attack made the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King sense the aura of death, but it nimbly dodged aside. Unfortunately, the attack was simply too fast. Its slightly lowered head avoided the blow, but the fiery red horn atop its head did not. The hardest part of its body was instantly sliced cleanly in half!

The intense pain made the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King let out a savage roar. Its foreclaw swung fiercely, its incomparably violent force slashing heavily across Yun Yun's chest!

The cyan protective aura around Yun Yun's body was instantly shattered by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's violent force. Struck heavily, Yun Yun immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, her pretty face turning slightly pale. Feeling the Dou Qi within her rapidly being sealed, she flapped the wings behind her back and vanished beyond the horizon after several flashes.

Seeing Yun Yun escape despite her severe injuries, relying on her terrifying movement technique, the injured Purple Crystal Winged Lion King threw back its head and unleashed a furious, earth-shaking roar.

At that moment, the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion King also flew over slowly with whimpering cries, its enormous beastly eyes filled with grievance and fury. Something that had originally belonged to it had actually been snatched away by Xiao Yu. It had truly disgraced the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King race!

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King glared furiously at its son, then let out a ferocious, murderous roar that echoed throughout the entire valley. The surrounding mountains trembled under the violent power carried by its enraged lion's roar. Countless magical beasts lay prostrate on the ground, shivering in fear. "Search for them! Even if you have to turn the Monster Mountain Range upside down, find those two humans!"

Using the shockwaves from Yun Yun's head-on clash with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Xiao Yu swiftly shook off the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. After leaving the area, he saw that Yun Yun had fled in the direction of the cave where they had stayed before. Without wasting any time, Xiao Yu rushed over at full speed. He knew Yun Yun had definitely been injured!

The moment he returned beneath the waterfall, Xiao Yu saw Yun Yun lying in the lake below it. Her face was extremely pale, and a horrifying wound across her chest was still bleeding. Anyone could tell that Yun Yun was seriously injured!

The Purple Cloud Wings on his back fluttered slightly, and he flew above the lake. Reaching out, he gathered Yun Yun into his arms, then turned and rushed back into the cave. Sensing the faint fragrance and smell of blood coming from her body, Xiao Yu was momentarily dazed. Looking at Yun Yun's lovely face from up close, she truly had skin like ice and bones like jade, a beauty straight out of a painting. Especially now, her frailty after being injured added an extra touch of charm!

After gently placing her on the stone bed, Xiao Yu took out a bottle of Aura-Dispersing Powder from his clothes. Only after erasing all traces of the two humans' scent from the surroundings did he finally feel at ease and return to the cave!

As soon as Xiao Yu entered with Yun Yun, Xiao Bai began chirping anxiously, looking rather worried. Xiao Yu chuckled. "Xiao Bai, don't worry. Go stay to the side for now. I'll treat her wounds!"

Xiao Bai seemed to understand Xiao Yu's words and immediately headed toward the cave entrance.

Watching Xiao Bai leave, Xiao Yu turned around and saw the horrifying claw wound on Yun Yun's chest. His sword-like brows furrowed slightly. Her plain dress outside had already been dyed red with blood, and even in her unconscious state, her delicate brows were faintly knitted, pain still lingering on her lovely face.

Xiao Yu silently muttered in his heart, Desperate times call for desperate measures. Besides, the system told me to save you. Please forgive me! With that thought, he reached out and began undoing her clothes. Yet the instant his hand touched Yun Yun, she suddenly opened her eyes. A trace of coldness and embarrassment flickered within her beautiful gaze as she stared fixedly at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu ignored the warning in Yun Yun's eyes and directly undid the clothes covering her upper body. At the same time, he said, "Don't move. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's seal has already taken effect on you. You no longer have the strength of a Dou Emperor, and I'm only trying to save you. Don't worry, I won't suddenly lose control and do anything to you!"

Yun Yun examined her condition and indeed discovered that she had been afflicted by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's sealing technique. The coldness in her eyes gradually faded somewhat as she looked at Xiao Yu. However, seeing the youth so skillfully undoing her clothes, she could not help but warn him, "You'd better not have any improper thoughts. Otherwise, once I recover my strength, you'll be the first one I kill!"

"Tch, women are such a hassle. You clearly need me right now, yet you're still warning me. I'm your benefactor, you know. Besides, with that figure of yours, I'm not even interested. It's not even half as good as my Xun Er's!" Xiao Yu snapped back as he took out some high-quality healing medicine from his Storage Ring.

"You... shameless rogue! You're so familiar with undoing girls' clothes that you must have done plenty of sneaky, sordid things like this before!" Yun Yun retorted angrily.

Xiao Yu did not care. He gave a sly grin and was about to reach out and undo the final layer of inner armor on Yun Yun's upper body when her body trembled slightly. She said nothing more. After taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes, her long lashes trembling faintly as she tried to conceal the unrest in her heart.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful," Xiao Yu reassured her. After helping Yun Yun sit up, he carefully removed the Sea Heart Armor. Yun Yun's alluring back curves were revealed before him, nearly making Xiao Yu, an old virgin with the mental age of over thirty, lose his composure. Only after silently reciting a few calming incantations did he barely steady himself. He then took out a black robe from his Storage Ring and draped it over Yun Yun.

After turning her around, Xiao Yu pulled open the collar to expose the wound and gently applied the hemostatic medicine around it. When his fingers touched Yun Yun's snow-white skin, her body suddenly tensed. Xiao Yu smiled lightly, and Yun Yun immediately said in embarrassment and annoyance, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you. You're a mighty Dou Emperor—don't tell me you still haven't let go of romantic feelings between men and women?" Xiao Yu said with a smile as he treated her wound.

"Hah, do you think everyone is like you, a rascal and lecher? I lost interest in love between men and women long ago!" Yun Yun said coldly.

"Oh? Then why are you blushing?" Xiao Yu asked with a grin.

"I-I'm blushing because the wound hurts!" Yun Yun argued, though her expression was far from natural. Xiao Yu did not expose her. Instead, he took out a black pill and directly stuffed it into Yun Yun's small mouth.

Caught off guard by Xiao Yu's sudden move, Yun Yun had yet to react. When she realized he had put something in her mouth, she demanded in embarrassment and anger, "What did you make me eat?"

Xiao Yu shrugged indifferently. "Naturally, an aphrodisiac. What else could it be?"

"What?" Yun Yun immediately panicked. Just as she was about to struggle to get up, Xiao Yu pressed down on her shoulder and said calmly, "Relax, it's a painkiller. You're supposedly a Dou Emperor, yet you can't even tell the difference?"

"You!" Yun Yun wanted to retort, but she could not find an argument against him. She simply fell silent. By then, Xiao Yu had already finished treating her wound. After carefully wrapping it up, he clapped his hands and said, "The rest is up to you!"

Annoyed by Xiao Yu, Yun Yun turned her head away. Hearing his words, she muttered, "Thank you."

"What? What did you say? Say it louder," Xiao Yu teased, pretending not to hear as he cupped a hand to his ear.

Yun Yun rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Forget it if you didn't hear me!"

Xiao Yu spread his hands helplessly. "Honestly, I don't know what to do with you. Smile more. You look beautiful when you smile!"

"You've never seen me smile. How do you know I look beautiful when I smile?" Yun Yun asked somewhat doubtfully.

"Hehe, I guessed. After all, you're already so beautiful when you don't smile. You must look even better when you do!" Xiao Yu said cheerfully.

A faint blush appeared on Yun Yun's lovely face. No one had ever directly told her to her face that she was beautiful. However, seeing Xiao Yu's smug expression, she still mocked him, "Smooth talker. Who knows how many girls you've deceived!"

"Tch, you've never tasted them, so how do you know my lips are smooth?" Xiao Yu muttered softly. Yun Yun did not hear him clearly. "What did you say?"

"Nothing. I'm going outside to take a look!" With that, Xiao Yu headed out of the cave.

Watching Xiao Yu's retreating back, Yun Yun's lips curved slightly upward. A captivating smile appeared on her lovely face, but unfortunately, Xiao Yu did not see it!
