As Xiao Lei gently wiped her wounds, the inadvertent touches made Yun Yun's delicate body tremble slightly. The noble phoenix hair ornament atop her head had also quietly come loose.
She seemed to have lost some of her dignified elegance, gaining instead the languid charm of a mature woman.
Before she realized it, Yun Yun quietly opened her eyes again. Looking at the handsome young man lowering his head and earnestly cleaning her wounds, her beautiful eyes held an added trace of gratitude, as well as a peculiar feeling.
For some reason, the longer she looked, the more she suddenly felt that the youth before her seemed to radiate a unique charm.
Yun Yun's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly closed her eyes again.
After carefully cleaning the wounds, Xiao Lei opened the jade bottle and sprinkled the medicinal powder inside over them.
Irritated by the powder, Yun Yun's delicate brows knit slightly, and a low moan of pain escaped her pretty nose.
"Bear with it. It'll be over soon," Xiao Lei said with a smile. He evenly spread the powder over her wounds, then took out some cloth for stopping the bleeding and carefully bandaged her injuries.
Suddenly, the System's familiar voice rang out in Xiao Lei's mind once more.
Ding! You touched Yun Yun and obtained an Automatic Pill Refining Furnace!
An Automatic Pill Refining Furnace?
Hearing the System reward, Xiao Lei's heart stirred slightly. His consciousness sank into the System Space as he examined the Automatic Pill Refining Furnace's properties.
After looking it over, Xiao Lei was instantly overjoyed.
As its name implied, this Automatic Pill Refining Furnace was a pill furnace capable of automatically refining pills!
Pills of different grades required different refining times, ranging from one minute at the shortest to half a month at the longest.
However, Xiao Lei had to add the corresponding Medicinal Herbs according to a specific pill formula and the detailed proportions recorded within it.
Even if he threw in Medicinal Herbs at random, it could still refine pills, but what effects those pills would have would be entirely random.
It seemed that once he returned, he would have to find a way to get some pill formulas from Xiao Yan.
Xiao Lei's thoughts raced, but his movements were not greatly affected. Before long, he had finished bandaging Yun Yun.
"The wounds have been treated. What remains are internal injuries that can only be healed by yourself. As for that seal, you can only break it yourself as well."
After finishing the bandaging, Xiao Lei clapped his hands and smiled.
"Thank you," Yun Yun said as she opened her eyes again, suddenly flashing Xiao Lei a radiant smile.
That smile was breathtakingly beautiful.
"You're welcome. It was nothing," Xiao Lei said with a smile before adding, "I won't help you put your clothes on, in case it pulls at your wounds. I'll just cover you up for now."
As he spoke, Xiao Lei took out a change of clothes from the System Space and covered the beautiful sight before Yun Yun's chest, leaving only the area above her shoulders exposed.
With herself covered, Yun Yun immediately relaxed somewhat, and her favorable impression of Xiao Lei deepened by a few degrees.
After covering Yun Yun up, Xiao Lei sat on a stone beside her and casually asked, "By the way, I still don't know what I should call you."
"Yun Zhi." Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, but Yun Yun still used an alias. Then she asked, "What about you?"
"Lin Lei." Upon hearing the name Yun Yun gave, Xiao Lei's thoughts shifted, and he also made up a false name.
After their brief conversation, the cave fell silent.
Over the following days, because Yun Yun was injured and still under the seal, Xiao Lei changed her medicine several times.
Each time he changed the medicine and bandaged her, Xiao Lei inadvertently took in the wonderful sight before him, while Yun Yun kept her eyes tightly shut, not daring to look at him.
Because she had discovered that under such circumstances, that unique magic about Xiao Lei seemed to grow even stronger.
Although she closed her eyes every time, the sensations on her body were impossible to avoid, especially when Xiao Lei wiped her wounds. That feeling...
Coupled with Xiao Lei's attentive care over the past few days, such as preparing delicious food for her, Xiao Lei's figure had unknowingly already been imprinted in her heart.
However, during the last two or three days, Yun Yun had recovered enough to move around on her own, so she no longer let Xiao Lei change her medicine or bandage her.
That evening, as they ate together, Yun Yun said with a complicated expression, "Tomorrow, I should be able to break the seal."
Originally, being able to break the seal should have been something worth celebrating. Yet for some reason, Yun Yun did not feel the slightest bit happy at that moment.
Compared to her lofty life at the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun found herself somewhat intoxicated by the peaceful life of these past few short days.
Xiao Lei's hand holding the grilled fish paused slightly before he said, "Then congratulations."
"Once I recover my strength, I'll go find the Amethyst Winged Lion King again," Yun Yun said to herself.
Xiao Lei asked, "Were your previous injuries and that seal both the Amethyst Winged Lion King's doing?"
"Mm." Yun Yun nodded slightly, then said somewhat unwillingly, "Our strengths are not far apart. I simply never expected it to have mastered the Sealing Art. I suffered last time because I was caught off guard. If we fight again, I may not necessarily lose to it!"
"How did you end up in conflict with the Amethyst Winged Lion King?" Xiao Lei asked with a curious look.
Yun Yun parted her red lips and said, "I need Purple Spirit Crystal. I originally wanted to trade with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, but it refused, so I had no choice but to fight."
"I see." Xiao Lei nodded slightly, then asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Hearing Xiao Lei's words, Yun Yun pondered for a moment before nodding.
"Purple Spirit Crystal is usually kept inside the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Cave. If possible, I would like to ask you to enter the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Cave and help me find Purple Spirit Crystal."
"As for the Amethyst Winged Lion King, tomorrow I'll lure it out of the cave and create an opportunity for you."
"No problem." Xiao Lei nodded slightly and agreed without hesitation.
Xiao Lei remembered that aside from Purple Spirit Crystal, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Cave also contained Coexisting Purple Crystal Source.
That Coexisting Purple Crystal Source would also be of considerable help in increasing one's cultivation.
Xiao Lei planned to take the Coexisting Purple Crystal Source while he was at it.
"Wear this crystal on your body. As long as you get close to Purple Spirit Crystal, it will heat up. You only need to follow the intensity of the heat to find Purple Spirit Crystal."
Yun Yun took out a small diamond-shaped crystal from her Storage Ring, handed it to Xiao Lei, and smiled.
"I'll do my best." Xiao Lei put away the diamond-shaped crystal and smiled.
Looking at Xiao Lei's smile, Yun Yun nodded slightly without saying anything more. The atmosphere in the cave suddenly turned silent.
"You should rest. There's still a great battle to fight tomorrow," Xiao Lei said with a smile. Then he sat cross-legged atop a huge rock in the cave, his eyes closed as though he had fallen asleep.
Sitting on the stone bed, Yun Yun wore a complicated expression. After a long while, she sighed softly and murmured, "Sleep. When tomorrow comes, it will be time to forget everything here."
After the cave had remained quiet for a long time, Yun Yun inexplicably stepped down from the stone bed and moved close to Xiao Lei. She carefully studied him, and after a long while, she unconsciously reached out to caress his handsome face.
Just then, Xiao Lei opened his eyes. Their gazes met, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
