She Is Yun Yun

The mysterious cloaked man did not finish speaking before he breathed his last.

Chu Yang watched everything unfold from the side, speechless for a moment. In the end, he felt that this beautiful woman was simply the sort who settled grudges with swift, decisive action, never dragging things out.

Still, perhaps the mysterious cloaked man had deserved his death!

Wait, what had he said just before dying?

Could it be... that this beautiful, mature woman standing before him was Yun Yun, the Misty Cloud Sect's sect leader?

Thinking of her pale green Dou Qi Wings, her incredibly swift fighting style, her beautiful maturity, and that aura of someone in a high position within the Misty Cloud Sect that she inadvertently revealed...

Chu Yang finally concluded that this beautiful woman was undoubtedly Yun Yun!

He had not expected to encounter Yun Yun so soon! For a moment, Chu Yang was filled with countless emotions.

When he had received the random mission, he had never dreamed that the beautiful woman who was about to appear would turn out to be Yun Yun.

Wait, what had the system said earlier?

Healing the injuries of the beautiful woman about to appear would earn him three hundred Card Points... Was Yun Yun injured? Just now, with a casual gesture, she had killed the mysterious cloaked man who had once acted so arrogantly before him.

Chu Yang immediately focused his gaze on Yun Yun. He wanted to see whether she had any injuries. If she did not, then perhaps he had mistaken her for the beautiful woman the system had mentioned.

If that were the case, then would there not be another beautiful woman somewhere nearby?

Chu Yang was a young man, after all! His gaze had become so brazen that it was downright rude, and Yun Yun was somewhat angered.

Yet despite her anger, Chu Yang did not withdraw his gaze because of the mission. He was still puzzled. The system had said that Yun Yun was injured, but judging by the situation, she might not be injured at all. He would have no chance to treat her, and she had just saved him. It all seemed rather backwards...

Just as Chu Yang was finding it strange, Yun Yun suddenly coughed uncontrollably beside him. Chu Yang immediately noticed that there seemed to be streaks of blood in her phlegm.

To quickly dispel the awkwardness caused by his staring at Yun Yun and making her unhappy, Chu Yang immediately said to her, "Oh! My savior, it seems you've suffered internal injuries."

The Medicine Emperor's Initial Alchemy Technique medical tome was no joke. With it, Chu Yang could tell at a glance that Yun Yun truly had suffered internal injuries.

Upon hearing Chu Yang say this, Yun Yun looked at him for a moment, but did not immediately say anything, as though silently acknowledging it.

Chu Yang knew that people like Yun Yun, who had always occupied lofty positions, were proud to the bone. It was generally difficult for people like them to admit their weaknesses, much less ask others for help.

Thus, Chu Yang continued on his own.

"That damned cloaked man..."

Yet when Chu Yang said that, Yun Yun merely snorted coldly. "Him? He could never hope to injure me..."

Ah, I really got it wrong, Chu Yang reproached himself inwardly.

He knew Yun Yun was not merely a Dou Wang, but a Dou Huang, a whole rank above a Dou Wang! The mysterious cloaked man had been, at most, a five-star Da Dou Shi, perhaps even weaker. How could he possibly have injured Yun Yun? How could Yun Yun's injuries have been caused by him?

At once, Chu Yang recalled what had been said in Battle Through the Heavens: Yun Yun had once gone to the Monster Mountain Range to seek out the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King. She wanted to exchange three fifth-tier magic cores and a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique for its Purple Spirit Crystal, but the lion had demanded a Shape-Shifting Pill from her instead.

A Shape-Shifting Pill was a pill that only an alchemist of the seventh rank could refine. Even Gu He, the sixth-rank alchemist with whom the Misty Cloud Sect had close ties, could not refine one. How could Yun Yun possibly produce it?

Yet Yun Yun desperately wanted the Purple Spirit Crystal. When her negotiations with the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King broke down, she ultimately tried to seize it by force, and the two fought.

According to the original plot of Battle Through the Heavens, Yun Yun was later severely injured, and Xiao Yan, who happened to arrive then, practically picked up a bargain.

However, Yun Yun had not told Xiao Yan that she was the famous sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect in the Jia Ma Empire. Instead, she gave him another name: Yun Zhi.

No matter how Chu Yang worked out the timeline, he felt that Yun Yun should not yet have reached the point where she would be severely injured and then taken advantage of by Xiao Yan.

That meant he had arrived early. Yun Yun had only just clashed with the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King for the first time. She had merely suffered a slight internal injury and probably intended to recuperate in the Monster Mountain Range for a while rather than return to the Misty Cloud Sect. She would have to wait until the next confrontation, defeat the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King, obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal, and only then return.

Their next battle would likely not take place for some time.

Yun Yun was not an alchemist, so naturally she could not immediately heal her own internal injuries. Even she would not know how long she would be delayed in the Monster Mountain Range before fighting the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King a second time!

Because of that accident, I got here before Xiao Yan and met Yun Yun first! After sorting out the timeline, Chu Yang could not help wondering whether he ought to thank the dead mysterious cloaked man. Though the man deserved to die, since he had taken Liu Xi's money to deal with him.

Thinking of how Yun Yun would later be badly injured and rescued in a cave by Xiao Yan, Chu Yang, also a young man like Xiao Yan, felt as though he had swallowed a fly.

No! I absolutely won't allow that brat to take advantage of a beautiful, mature woman with Yun Yun's noble temperament, leaving an impression on her and then gradually becoming involved with her without even realizing it.

And if I don't want Xiao Yan to have an opening, then I should... Right, I only need to stop Yun Yun from fighting the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King!

The thought flashed through Chu Yang's mind.

But for now, he had to heal Yun Yun's internal injuries first! He had to leave a good impression on her, so that she might listen to him later and not insist on confronting the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King head-on, only to be severely injured and fall unconscious.

As Chu Yang indulged in these wild thoughts, he failed to notice that Yun Yun was now studying him intently instead.

"What are you thinking about?" Yun Yun suddenly asked.

Ah—Chu Yang secretly thought that it was fortunate he was a man. Otherwise, if he had been a woman and Yun Yun had suddenly asked that while he was lost in wild thoughts, he would have shrieked as though awakened from a dream.

However, Chu Yang reacted quickly. He immediately replied to Yun Yun, "I... I think I can heal the internal injuries you've suffered."

"What?" Yun Yun found it somewhat hard to believe. "You're sure I've suffered internal injuries? You... can treat them?"
