Healing Wounds

Yun Yun's attack made the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King sense the breath of death, but it nimbly dodged aside. Unfortunately, the attack was too fast. Its slightly lowered head avoided the strike, but the fiery red horn atop its head did not. Half of that hardest part of its body was sliced clean off in an instant!

The intense pain made the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King unleash a savage lion's roar. It swung its forepaw viciously, and the incomparably ferocious force struck Yun Yun hard in the chest!

The azure protective aura around Yun Yun's body was instantly shattered by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's violent force. Yun Yun, having suffered the heavy blow, spat out a mouthful of blood at once, her pretty face turning slightly pale. Feeling the Dou Qi within her body being rapidly sealed away, she beat the wings behind her back and vanished beyond the horizon after several flashes.

Watching Yun Yun escape despite her severe injuries, relying on her terrifying Movement Technique, the wounded Purple Crystal Winged Lion King threw back its head and let out a towering roar of fury.

At that moment, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King also flew over with a whimper, moving sluggishly. Its enormous beast eyes were full of grievance and rage. Something that had originally belonged to it had actually been snatched away by Xiao Yu. It had truly brought shame upon the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King clan!

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King shot its son an angry glare, then its murderous, savage roar spread throughout the entire valley. The surrounding mountains trembled beneath the violent force carried by its furious lion's roar. Countless magical beasts lay prostrate on the ground, trembling in fear. "Search for them! Even if you have to turn the Monster Beast Mountain Range upside down, find those two humans!"

Taking advantage of the shockwaves created by Yun Yun's clash with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Xiao Yu quickly shook off the Little 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 sped after her. He knew Yun Yun had definitely been injured!

As soon as he returned to the foot of the waterfall, Xiao Yu saw Yun Yun lying in the lake beneath it. Her face was exceedingly pale, and blood still flowed from the terrifying wound on her chest. Anyone could see that Yun Yun's injuries were serious!

With a slight beat of the Purple Cloud Wings behind him, he flew above the lake, reached out and gathered Yun Yun into his arms, then turned and swept back into the cave. Sensing the faint fragrance and bloody scent coming from her body, Xiao Yu was briefly dazed. Looking at Yun Yun's lovely face from such close range, she truly seemed like a painted beauty with skin of ice and bones of jade. The weakness brought on by her injuries only added another touch of charm!

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

The moment Xiao Yu entered with Yun Yun, Little White began chattering anxiously, looking somewhat worried. Xiao Yu chuckled. "Little White, don't worry. Go stay off to the side for now. I'll help her treat her wound!"

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

Watching Little White leave, Xiao Yu turned and saw the horrifying claw wound across Yun Yun's chest. His brows furrowed slightly. The pale dress outside had already been dyed red with blood, and even while unconscious, her delicate brows were faintly knit, pain still lingering on her pretty face.

Xiao Yu silently said to himself, Desperate times call for desperate measures. Besides, the system told me to save you. Please bear with it! With that thought, he reached out to undo her clothes. But the instant he touched Yun Yun, her eyes abruptly flew open. A trace of coldness and embarrassed anger appeared in her beautiful eyes as she stared fixedly at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu ignored the warning in Yun Yun's gaze and directly undid her upper garments as he said, "Don't move. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's seal has already taken effect on you. You don't have the strength of a Dou Emperor anymore. Besides, I'm saving you. Don't worry, I won't suddenly be overcome by beastly urges and do anything to you!"

Yun Yun checked 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. Still, seeing the young man so familiarly undoing her clothes, she could not help warning 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 really are troublesome. You clearly need me right now, yet you're still warning me. I'm your benefactor. Besides, with that figure of yours, I'm not even interested. You're not half as good as my Xun'er!" Xiao Yu retorted as he took out some high-quality healing medicine from his Storage Ring.

"You... lecherous scoundrel! Seeing how practiced you are at undoing women's clothes, you must have done plenty of such sneaky, filthy things!" Yun Yun snapped sarcastically in her anger.

Xiao Yu did not mind. He gave a sly grin and was about to reach out to undo the final layer of inner armor covering Yun Yun's upper body when her body trembled slightly. She said nothing more. After taking a deep breath, she simply closed her eyes, her long lashes trembling faintly as she tried to hide 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 Heart of the Sea Armor. Yun Yun's enchanting back was revealed before him, and Xiao Yu, an old virgin with the mental age of over thirty, nearly lost his composure. Only after silently reciting the Clear Heart Mantra several times did he barely regain his focus. He took out a black robe from his Storage Ring and draped it over Yun Yun.

After turning her around, Xiao Yu pulled her collar down to 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 gave a soft laugh, and Yun Yun immediately asked in annoyance, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at how a mighty Dou Emperor doesn't seem to have let go of romantic feelings between men and women," Xiao Yu said with a smile as he treated her wound.

"Heh, do you think everyone is as shameless and lecherous as you? I lost interest in this kind of love between men and women long ago!" Yun Yun said coldly.

"Oh, really? 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 rather unnatural. Xiao Yu did not expose her. Instead, he took out a black pill and directly stuffed it into Yun Yun's little mouth.

Caught off guard by Xiao Yu's sudden move, Yun Yun did not react at first. Once she tasted the thing he had put into her mouth, she asked in embarrassed anger, "What did you give me?"

Xiao Yu shrugged indifferently. "An aphrodisiac, of course. What else could it be?"

"What?" Yun Yun immediately panicked. Just as she tried to struggle to her feet, Xiao Yu pressed her back down by the shoulder and said flatly, "Relax. It's a painkiller. You're supposedly a Dou Emperor, yet you can't even tell that much?"

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

Angered 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, cupping a hand to his ear as though he had not heard.

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

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

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

"Hehe, I guessed. After all, you're already this beautiful when you aren't smiling. You'll definitely look even more beautiful when you do!" Xiao Yu said with a laugh.

A faint blush appeared on Yun Yun's pretty face. No one had ever openly told her she was beautiful to her face. Yet when she saw Xiao Yu's shameless expression, she still mocked him. "Smooth-tongued. Who knows how many girls you've deceived!"

"Tch, you've never tasted it. How do you know my tongue is smooth?" Xiao Yu muttered quietly, but Yun Yun did not hear him clearly. "What did you say?"

"Nothing. I'm going outside to take a look!" Xiao Yu tossed out those words and headed out of the cave.

Yun Yun watched Xiao Yu's departing back, the corners of her lips lifting slightly. A captivating smile appeared on her lovely face, but unfortunately, Xiao Yu did not see it!
