Cleaning the Wound—Did It Really Hurt That Much?

"Bear with it. It should hurt quite a bit."

After giving her a warning, Qi Fan slowly tugged at her robe until all the wounds on Yun Yun's body were exposed.

At that moment, Qi Fan was utterly righteous, his gaze unwavering.

From this angle, he could see half a stretch of snow-white skin, along with a sight alluring enough to drive anyone mad...

A young man was bound to die for a woman's charms.

Although Qi Fan really wanted to experience the different views described by "viewed from the side, it forms ridges; viewed from the front, it forms peaks,"

he still forcefully suppressed the wicked thoughts in his heart so he could set a good example for his Yan'er.

"Here I go~"

"Mm!"

After hearing Yun Yun's consent, Qi Fan immediately gave a tug at her waist!

"Rip~"

The sound of fabric tearing reached Yun Yun's tightly shut eyes, and that feeling...

was simply impossible to describe with words.

In any case, her originally pale face had turned peach-red, ripe and flushed!

After tearing off a clean strip of cloth,

Qi Fan poured some pure white liquid from a porcelain bottle and slowly wiped away the blood around her wound.

The mingling of white and crimson was incredibly striking!

As Qi Fan wiped gently, Yun Yun's eyelashes trembled softly without pause.

The noble Phoenix Hairpin atop her head had also quietly come loose.

At that moment, she was no longer the noble Cloud Sect Master, but an ordinary woman who knew how to be shy.

She seemed to have lost some of her elegance and gained a little more allure.

Her beautiful eyes slowly opened with curiosity. As she watched the man before her lower his head and seriously clean her wound, a trace of complexity appeared amid Yun Yun's gratitude.

He...

really was a dignified gentleman!

But he already had a wife!

Under Yun Yun's gaze, after carefully cleaning the wound, Qi Fan poured out some medicinal liquid from another porcelain bottle.

It was rather strange—the medicinal liquid was white as well!

Stimulated by the medicinal liquid, Yun Yun was immediately pulled from her dream back into reality.

"Mm~"

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly. As she bit her lips with pearly teeth to endure the pain, a pained moan escaped from her lovely nose.

"..."

Upon hearing that soft sound, Qi Fan's hand, which was pouring the milky-white medicinal liquid, suddenly trembled.

He immediately raised his head, his eyes cold and fierce as he stared at Yun Yun.

"Did it really hurt that much?"

"Mm!"

This time, Yun Yun did not argue. Her beautiful eyes glistened as she softly responded.

Looking at the pitiful woman before him, Qi Fan smiled helplessly.

"Don't worry, I'll be done soon."

As soon as he spoke, Qi Fan poured out all the medicinal liquid.

Then, before Yun Yun's disbelieving eyes, he used the fingers he had just washed...

After spreading the medicinal liquid evenly, Qi Fan tore several more strips of cloth from Yun Yun's clothes.

After his series of actions, Yun Yun's plain dress had long since been torn to shreds!

Even below, large patches of snow-white skin were exposed.

Yun Yun's pretty face flushed. Curiosity filled her eyes as she stared at Qi Fan, who was preparing to bandage her wound, and asked, "When you came to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, didn't you prepare any cotton cloth or anything for stopping bleeding?"

"If you keep tearing like this, there really won't be anything left on me..."

"Stopping bleeding? Cotton cloth?"

Qi Fan raised a brow, then smiled in understanding.

"I... probably don't need any!"

The moment those words came out, Yun Yun's heart trembled fiercely.

Not needing anything to stop bleeding in the Magical Beast Mountain Range was undoubtedly confidence in one's own strength!

He truly was a mysterious expert!

Fortunately, Qi Fan had no idea Yun Yun thought this way. If he did, he would definitely be caught between laughter and tears.

I said I don't need it because I'm weak. If I run into a slightly stronger magical beast, I'll just die on the spot!

Stopping bleeding?

Once I'm already in its belly, would I still need it?

"There's no helping it. Your clothes are made of better material than mine."

Qi Fan spread his hands helplessly and continued, "Besides, even if I tear your dress to pieces, don't you still have..."

"Shut up! I won't allow you to say any more!"

The moment she heard Qi Fan's words, Yun Yun gave an angry cry.

"Heh~ Women!"

Qi Fan shook his head helplessly. "You were clearly the one who asked. Now that I've answered, you won't let me speak. Sure enough, there's a reason why someone as beautiful as you doesn't have a man by her side."

"Who said there isn't a man by my side?"

Yun Yun stared heatedly at Qi Fan as she retorted with feigned anger.

"Gulp~"

Stared at like that by Yun Yun, Qi Fan was stunned. He hurriedly looked away, yet his throat still bobbed involuntarily.

What... does she mean?

"Ahem~"

Qi Fan coughed dryly and waved the cloth strips in front of Yun Yun. "I'm going to bandage you now, so why don't you~ close your eyes again?"

"There's an old saying on the Dou Qi Continent: what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over!"

"Pfft~ Hehehe~"

Yun Yun could not hold back her laughter. She rolled her eyes at Qi Fan. "How is that what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over? You're clearly telling me to bury my head in the sand~"

Qi Fan rolled his eyes.

"Isn't that the same meaning?"

"Fine~"

Yun Yun smiled, then obediently closed her eyes.

Looking at the suddenly obedient woman before him, Qi Fan felt like his head had doubled in size.

Women really are so hard to deal with!

I can't even figure out what she's thinking.

Good thing I never went through the process of courting Yan'er's mother. Otherwise, I might've been angered to death!

While Qi Fan bandaged Yun Yun's wound,

although he did his best to avert his gaze, he still caught glimpses of things he should not have seen.

At that moment, Qi Fan did his best to picture the fruit growing in his backyard...

Peaches, cherries, peaches, cherries...

Fortunately, Qi Fan had the foresight to make Yun Yun close her eyes first.

Otherwise, the itch at the tip of his nose would surely have made her display her ultimate skill—changing her expression!

As she felt the man's breath before her slowly retreat and no longer felt even the slightest brush of contact against her body, Yun Yun inexplicably felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

"Done. The wound has been treated. The rest depends on your own recovery."

Qi Fan wiped away the sweat he had worked up from being "busy," then took a step back with a smile.

"Thank you..."

Yun Yun looked at Qi Fan, "gratitude" filling her eyes.

Qi Fan waved it off casually.

"Haha~ Forget the thanks. Didn't we both get what we wanted?"

At those words, Yun Yun's gaze changed at once. Her cold voice squeezed out through clenched teeth.

"Yes! We both got what we wanted!"

"Uh..."

Feeling Yun Yun's change, Qi Fan was completely confused.

What's with this woman? Why did she turn on me so suddenly?

No!

I need to get away quickly!

Otherwise, what if she breaks her seal and stabs me to death with one sword?

Anyway, she's already agreed to take Yan'er as her disciple.

As the master of a sect, she wouldn't go back on her word.

"Um..."

Just as Qi Fan was about to speak, Yun Yun suddenly broke into a radiant smile.

"Big Brother, could I trouble you to lower me? I want to... lie down for a while~"

"This..."

Qi Fan saw that peerlessly beautiful smile.

He felt utterly helpless~

What could he do?

Helping once was helping, and helping twice was helping too. He might as well keep helping!

With that thought,

"Ah~"

Qi Fan sighed and stepped forward.

He placed a hand behind Yun Yun's jade-like neck and slowly lowered her delicate body.

But just as he wanted to withdraw his hand, Yun Yun blinked her pitiful beautiful eyes and softly said,

"So... hard!"

Qi Fan: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a??

Huh???

She must be talking about the ground, right!
