While It's Hot?

[A: Tease Medicine Elder about making this stuff for the first time too.]

[B: Quickly put everything away.]

[A lion's roar like muffled thunder exploded through the sky. You hurriedly put everything away and looked toward the horizon in shock.]

[Medicine Elder discovered that a human woman had somehow provoked the sixth-tier magical beast, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.]

[With Medicine Elder's help, you had the chance to witness a battle between true experts.]

[The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was enormous, with wings on its back and a spiraling horn atop its savage lion head. Facing it was a woman with a delicate, curvaceous figure.]

[It turned out that the woman had set her sights on the Purple Spirit Crystal shed by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King every twenty years.]

[The woman was extremely generous, willing to exchange a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation method, a Dou Technique, and three fifth-tier magical beast cores for it.]

[Though those items were precious, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had no interest in them. What it wanted was a seventh-tier pill—the Transformation Pill.]

[The Transformation Pill was incomparably precious. The woman could not produce one and could only take it by force. A battle was about to begin.]

[Looking at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King surrounded by purple flames, you had a bold idea: use those purple flames to advance the Flame Mantra.]

[This wildly imaginative notion stunned Medicine Elder for a moment. Then he shook his head, clearly unconvinced.]

[In the end, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King used a sealing technique that few magical beasts possessed. After the woman was struck, she unleashed Wind's Extreme: Falling Kill, severely injuring the Lion King before turning and fleeing.]

[The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King flew into a rage and launched a pursuit after the woman.]

[After watching the battle between the human and the beast, you headed home with Medicine Elder's help, only to unexpectedly discover that the woman had fallen into the waterfall river not far from your cave.]

[Faced with a severely injured expert, you chose...]

[A: Kill her on the spot. A Dou Huang expert's collection would make countless people in the Jia Ma Empire covet it.]

[B: Save her and earn the favor of a Dou Huang expert.]

[C: While it's hot.]

[Hearing beast roars in the distance, you picked up the woman, whose entire body was soaked through, suppressed the lust rising within you, and sprinted toward the cave.]

[After carrying the woman into the cave, you placed her on the stone platform, dropped down beside her, and panted heavily several times.]

[Noticing the woman's injuries, you took out some healing medicine and prepared to loosen her dress.]

[At that moment, the woman suddenly opened her eyes. A trace of coldness and embarrassment flashed through them.]

[You explained your actions. After the woman realized she had been struck by a sealing technique and determined that you meant her no harm, she allowed you to apply the medicine.]

[After agreeing that everything would be solely for healing and that there would be no retaliation afterward, you began.]

[Only after loosening the woman's dress did you notice a pale blue metal inner armor beneath her proud figure. It was this item that had saved her life.]

[After glancing over the alluring contours of the woman's back, you undid the metal clasps on the inner armor and began applying medicine to her nearly naked body.]

[During the treatment, perhaps because her strength was sealed, or perhaps because even experts could not endure pain, the woman slightly furrowed her brows and let out a soft, pained moan through her delicate nose.]

[Afterward, the woman thanked you and remained in the cave.]

[With such a dangerous person in the cave, you had no choice but to begin patrolling every day. Fortunately, the medicinal powder you had spread worked well. Once magical beasts approached, they left.]

[Two days later, Medicine Elder asked about your plans.]

[Following the option's description, you replied that you wanted the favor of a Dou Huang expert.]

[Medicine Elder instead suggested that while she was weak, you should take her... In the future, not only would you gain a Dou Huang expert bodyguard, but you could also swagger through the Jia Ma Empire.]

[Faced with Medicine Elder's suggestion, you chose...]

[A: Happily agree.]

[B: Sternly refuse, full of righteous integrity.]

[C: Ask Medicine Elder how exactly to carry it out.]

[Your face flushed as you asked Medicine Elder for guidance.]

[Upon hearing this, Medicine Elder froze before immediately berating you.]

[Medicine Elder told you to reflect properly for a few days while he went out to gather materials.]

[Immediately afterward, the ring slipped off, and Medicine Elder's figure vanished into the horizon along with it.]

[After sitting on the ground for a long time, you finally slowly climbed back to your feet.]

[Although you learned that Medicine Elder intended to refine a medicinal liquid more effective than Burning Blood, and that you might suffer greatly during future training, at least your life had been spared.]
