Pay Up

As was customary, Xiao Fan first removed Yun Yun's clothes, which were already nearly torn apart. Just as pure and innocent as ever, without a hint of sweetness.

Xiao Fan skillfully undid the azure inner armor, revealing that dazzling patch of white.

Zi Yan puffed out her cheeks and glared at Xiao Fan in dissatisfaction. Her little feet stamped the ground, leaving several noticeable marks.

Xiao Fan pulled out the Amethyst Birth Source from his robes and tossed it to Zi Yan. "Go play somewhere else!"

Then, still somewhat worried, he warned, "Don't drink too much. This stuff contains a lot of energy."

"Got it, got it, Xiao Fan. I won't disturb you anymore."

Zi Yan immediately began gulping it down. It was clearly just a tiny bottle, yet she somehow made it seem like she was drinking a whole ton.

"Xiao Fan, why aren't you saying I threw food on the ground this time?"

Xiao Fan's gaze drifted downward...

After Zi Yan left, Xiao Fan began examining Yun Yun's wounds.

The wounds were not deep, leaving only a few faint blood marks. Still, the necessary treatment could not be skipped. Xiao Fan took out some healing medicine and evenly applied it to Yun Yun's wounds.

The cool medicinal effect seeped into Yun Yun's body through the wounds.

"Mm~"

"Mm?!" Xiao Fan was startled. Seeing that Yun Yun's eyes were still tightly shut, he wondered whether he had misheard.

Yun Yun's cheeks flushed red. She swore that sound had slipped out by accident. That kind of contact was simply too sensitive for her.

After quite a while, Xiao Fan finished the treatment. He put Yun Yun back into the cleaned inner armor, then dressed her in a purple outfit that Zi Yan often wore.

"Uh... it's a little tight. It should be fine, right?"

At that moment, Xiao Fan saw Yun Yun's finger twitch. Only then did he notice the Storage Ring on it.

"Ah, why didn't I think of looking through her Storage Ring? Sure enough, staying around a silly woman for too long makes your IQ drop."

However, removing the ring proved somewhat difficult. Yun Yun had curled her hand into a tight fist.

After obtaining the Storage Ring, Xiao Fan took a look. "Uh... they're all green?"

"This silly girl likes green that much?" Xiao Fan swept his gaze over Yun Yun's body, pausing at one particular spot.

Yun Yun sensed that gaze as well, and her legs unconsciously pressed together more tightly.

Her face flushed with shame and indignation, nearly making her faint.

Soon, with Xiao Fan's gentle assistance, Yun Yun changed into a simple purple dress.

Looking at Yun Yun's tranquil, beautiful face, she was like a clear spring deep in a secluded mountain. Her noble status inspired reverence, yet one could not help but harbor a trace of romantic desire.

"You clearly aren't suited to be a sect leader. Why force yourself?"

"How do you feel?"

Seeing that Yun Yun had awakened, Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow and bluntly asked. He might not remember other things clearly, but he knew Yun Yun would definitely snap at him viciously the moment she woke up.

"Mm, thank you."

"Thank me?" Xiao Fan was slightly surprised. Could it be because this Yun Yun is still relatively young?

"Oh, don't mention it. I merely did it on the way."

Xiao Fan waved his hand. Seeing that Yun Yun had awakened, he took several medicinal pills from his Storage Ring.

"These are pills for treating internal injuries. They're second-tier, so you have to pay!"

Yun Yun was somewhat speechless. The current Xiao Fan seemed rather scheming...

Looking at the simple purple dress she had changed into, Yun Yun asked,

"Why didn't you ask my name?"

"Is it important?"

"It is!" Yun Yun nodded, her lovely eyes taking on a serious look.

"Uh..."

Xiao Fan wanted to complain. If it were someone else who discovered they had been saved, shouldn't they ask the name of the person who had saved them?

"No wonder she's a silly woman. Her brain really works differently from everyone else's." Xiao Fan became even more certain of his conclusion.

"There's no need. Your injuries haven't damaged your internal organs, and you still possess the strength of a Dou Emperor. Rest for a while, and you can leave."

Yun Yun felt some regret. If I'd known this guy was nearby, I would have swallowed that Amethyst Seal...

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Yun Yun could tell that the current Xiao Fan seemed very wary of her and was deliberately keeping his distance.

"Thank you. My name is Yun Yun."

"Mm, I know."

Yun Yun gritted her teeth in irritation. "You still haven't told me your name!"

"Not important." Xiao Fan shook his head, though he was somewhat surprised that Yun Yun had actually told him her real name.

"This Yun Yun really does seem even more silly and innocent..." Xiao Fan thought.

"No..."

Before Yun Yun could lose her temper, Xiao Fan took some spirit herbs from her Storage Ring and said, "I'll take these medicinal ingredients as payment for saving you. No need to thank me."

Yun Yun's eye twitched slightly. "Are you that short on money?"

"Of course!" Xiao Fan answered without hesitation.

What nonsense. He had to raise a young Ancient Void Dragon. Even if Zi Yan swallowed that entire bottle of Amethyst Birth Source, it would not be enough for her to evolve into a Dou Emperor. But if Xiao Fan's Spirit Devouring Art absorbed it, he could likely reach Da Dou Shi in one go.

Countless medicinal ingredients had to be earned through Xiao Fan's diligent efforts. Even the Black Card Ya Fei had given him was nearly insufficient!

Yun Yun's brows relaxed slightly as she said, "Then do you know who I am?"

"Yun Yun. You just told me." Xiao Fan answered absentmindedly.

"Not that! My identity!"

"I'm about to become the next sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect!"

Xiao Fan fell silent for a moment. Yun Yun felt delighted at the sight. Heh, the current Xiao Fan must have been frightened by me!

Yun Yun was quite pleased with herself. Handling a little brat who had only just entered the world was easy enough.

Xiao Fan slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, then you need to pay more."

Xiao Fan took several more items from Yun Yun's Storage Ring...

Yun Yun frowned tightly. If she had not seen wrongly, a green item had flashed through Xiao Fan's hand just now. "That was..."

Then Yun Yun could no longer maintain her elegant composure. She glared angrily at Xiao Fan. If she were not afraid of letting him see through her act, she would have already gotten out of bed and beaten him up.

"You little pervert! Hand it over!" Yun Yun shouted furiously.

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Fan pretended not to understand.

"You..." Yun Yun could no longer remember how many times Xiao Fan had angered her today. "Sure enough, this guy is still as punchable as ever!"

"Enough, Sect Leader. I saved you out of kindness, and besides, weren't you already able to move long ago?"

"Hmph." Yun Yun stopped pretending to be injured and sat up. When she saw the new purple dress on her body, her face inexplicably flushed again.

"He saw everything again..."

Seeing that Xiao Fan did not want to pay attention to her, Yun Yun recalled that the current Xiao Fan seemed quite interested in money. So she tempted him, "Little brother~"

Goosebumps rose all over Xiao Fan's body. If Ya Fei or Queen Medusa had spoken that way, he would have found it alluring and seductive. But when Yun Yun said it, he only felt uncomfortable all over.

Xiao Fan took half a step back. "Sect Leader, just say what you want to say. There's no need for this. And just call me by my name. I'm Xiao Fan."

"You're not allowed to call me Sect Leader!"

"Alright, Sect Leader."

Yun Yun had no way to deal with Xiao Fan and could only say, "I need to rest for a few days. Xiao Fan, if you help take care of me, you may take three things you need from my Storage Ring."
