Healing Injuries

At the Amethyst Winged Lion King's command, the entire Magical Beast Forest seemed to stir with rustling movement. Countless magical beasts began searching in the direction the Plain Clothes Woman had fled.

"Teacher, that move just now was way too powerful, wasn't it? If the Amethyst Winged Lion King hadn't dodged in time, its whole head might have been sliced off! And that seal of the Amethyst Winged Lion King—can it really seal Dou Qi? That's incredible..." After the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the Plain Clothes Woman left, the black-clothed youth recalled the battle just now, unable to suppress his excitement.

"It was only so-so. At my peak, any random display I made was far grander than that!"

The black-clothed young man curled his lip. He was clearly already used to the old man recounting his glorious exploits.

"But the Lion King ordered all humans in the forest killed in the end. Haven't we been dragged into this again?"

The old man's voice rang out once more. "Things have become complicated. With your strength, the Magical Beast Forest is becoming increasingly dangerous. Hurry and pack up. We need to end this training early and head to the next training ground!"

"The next training ground? Where?" the black-clothed youth asked curiously.

"A place very suitable for fire-element warriors to cultivate—the Tagor Desert!" the old man said with a smile.

Mo Yun left the cave dwelling and sped onward.

"Hm? There are no longer any violent Dou Qi fluctuations... Could the show be over?" Sensing the distant area gradually returning to calm, Mo Yun muttered.

If the Amethyst Winged Lion King was fighting someone, Mo Yun might have had a better chance of succeeding amid the chaos. But judging by this, the battle seemed to have already ended.

Still, Mo Yun planned to take a look. What if the Amethyst Winged Lion King had been killed? Wouldn't that make things even easier?

Mo Yun accelerated and continued forward, but as he passed a stream, his eyes narrowed.

A Plain Clothes Woman lay by the streambank. Blood flowed continuously along the water, and the scent of blood would likely draw the beasts of the Magical Beast Forest before long.

"This..." Mo Yun hesitated over whether to save her.

After wrestling with the thought for a while, he figured that the battle over there had already ended, so going there would probably amount to nothing. As for the Amethyst Winged Lion King truly being dead as he had guessed, that was merely Mo Yun comforting himself.

Sensing several fairly powerful auras approaching from the woods, Mo Yun swiftly rushed to the woman's side, picked her up, and fled into the distance.

Part of the snake swarm was tasked with holding back the surrounding magical beasts.

Mo Yun spread his Dou Qi wings and skimmed low through the air. In the end, he finally found a platform on a cliff face.

With a thought, Mo Yun precisely controlled the Dou Qi in his body and gathered it into his right fist. Holding the woman with one arm, he slammed his other fist into the cliff wall.

Bang!

After a loud crash, a cave roughly thirty to forty square meters in size was blasted directly into the cliff where the platform had been.

Carrying the Plain Clothes Woman into the cave, Mo Yun gently laid her down and finally let out a breath.

Only then, when he looked at the Plain Clothes Woman, did Mo Yun realize that she was exceptionally beautiful. Her temperament was also outstanding. Unlike Medusa's arrogance, hers was a gentler kind of nobility.

"Could she be the one who fought the Amethyst Winged Lion King?" Mo Yun could likewise tell that the woman was quite strong, but the Dou Qi in her body seemed to be restricted by something and was gradually weakening.

Connected to the Amethyst Winged Lion King, her Dou Qi sealed...

A sudden guess appeared in Mo Yun's mind!

Could this be Yun Yun?!

Looking at her delicate, flawless face, Mo Yun grew increasingly convinced of his guess.

Feeling the sticky sensation on his hands, Mo Yun realized that they were still stained with her blood. Her wound had yet to be treated, and much of her plain clothing had already been dyed red.

Through soul perception, Mo Yun discovered the awkward location of her wound—it was right on her chest...

Licking his lips, he kept telling himself that this was to save her, then reached out with his wicked hands...

Just as his palm touched her body and he was about to loosen her clothes, the woman, whose eyes had been tightly shut, suddenly opened them. She stared fixedly at Mo Yun, her gaze cold and embarrassed.

He had only just made a move, and she woke up?

Was this really that cliché?

Mo Yun smiled awkwardly. "I'm not the kind of person you think I am. I was preparing to treat your injuries. Do you believe me?"

As he spoke, Mo Yun carefully withdrew his hand and casually wiped the blood from it onto his clothes.

In truth, given the Plain Clothes Woman's current state—seriously injured and sealed—she really was no match for Mo Yun. If he truly wanted to do something bad, she would not be able to stop him.

The Plain Clothes Woman struggled to move, only to discover how weak and badly injured she was. She seemed to fully understand her situation; she could not deal with it on her own.

Yet her inner shyness kept her from asking for help. Only after a difficult movement tugged at her wound and sent a burst of pain through her did the woman grit her teeth and softly say, "Then please help me treat my injuries."

"But you have to close your eyes..." the woman added after recalling something.

"How am I supposed to treat your injuries with my eyes closed?" Mo Yun asked.

The Plain Clothes Woman said calmly, "With your strength, even without your eyes, treating me using only soul perception should not be too difficult, should it?"

"Then with my soul perception, what difference does it make whether my eyes are closed or not?" Mo Yun replied casually.

"You! In any case, you must keep your hands under control. If you dare move them around recklessly, I'll make you regret it!" the Plain Clothes Woman threatened at last.

"I'll try my best... So I don't need to close my eyes, right?"

"You!"

After a pointless argument, Mo Yun selected several medicinal herbs from the Azure Scale Viper Snake's stockpile of herbs. Using the most primitive method, he crushed them and had the Plain Clothes Woman drink the extracted juice.

As for the crushed herb residue, under the woman's tense yet fierce glare, he loosened her clothes and gently applied it to her wound.

He then carefully wrapped strips of cloth around it to secure it. Naturally, he could not avoid touching things he should not have touched, but none of it was intentional. After all, Mo Yun was rather clumsy!

After everything was dealt with, Mo Yun sat down again.

Seeing that the woman was still glaring at him fiercely, Mo Yun recalled what he had done earlier and chuckled. "I really didn't do it on purpose just now. Your wound was in such an awkward spot—how could I possibly avoid touching you at all?"
