Chapter 77: Healing

After finding a cave, Lin Feng rushed into it, cradling Yun Yun in his arms.

He gently placed her on the stone bed inside the cave, without even pausing to catch his breath.

Lin Feng hurriedly took out some feces of a fourth‑tier beast and tossed them around.

He had stolen this while using the Purple Cloud Wing inside the fourth‑tier beast's lair.

He scattered it beside the cave, and most beasts dared not approach the area again.

Having finished all that, Lin Feng finally had time to closely observe the beautiful Yun Lan Sect sect master.

As he carefully examined Yun Yun, Lin Feng felt a growing sense of astonishment in his heart.

Describing her with phrases like "eyebrows like a painting" and "ice‑cold skin and jade‑like bones" does not seem excessive.

Moreover, what impressed Lin Feng most was her noble aura.

His gaze swept over Yun Yun's almost perfect face, finally lingering just below her jade‑like neck.

There he saw several claw marks, her plain robe already torn, and the wound continuously bleeding bright red.

In her unconscious state, Yun Yun's dark eyebrows twitched slightly, a hint of pain faintly lingering on her cheek.

This appearance, though somewhat at odds with her temperament, was nonetheless strikingly graceful.

"Let's give her some medicine first."

Thinking of that, Lin Feng took out a few jade bottles and placed them beside Shi Tai.

After a brief hesitation, he extended his hands, intending to tend Yun Yun's wound.

Just as his hand was halfway out, he recalled that in the original story, Yun Yun seemed to awaken quickly.

He tried to pull his outstretched hands back.

Unfortunately, as Lin Feng's hands were halfway retracted, the previously closed‑eyed Yun Yun suddenly opened her eyes.

Staring at Lin Feng's hovering hands, her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold, embarrassed glint, fixed on him.

"Uh… you're awake?"

Seeing Yun Yun's sudden eye opening startled Lin Feng, who quickly stepped back a few paces.

Sensing his own awkwardness, Lin Feng raised the small jade bottle in his hand and explained, "Uh… I only wanted to treat your wound, nothing else. Since you've already awakened, you should handle it yourself."

He said this, placed the jade bottle beside her, and stepped back again.

In his mind, however, he thought, this injury likely prevents you from moving; soon you'll probably have to invite me to treat the wound.

When the unfamiliar man stepped back, Yun Yun finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

Her gaze toward Lin Feng lost a layer of coldness.

However, when she tried to act on her own, she found her whole body immobilized.

She struggled slightly, slowly closed her eyes, and after a moment opened them, biting her silver teeth, she whispered, "That damned beast even knows sealing techniques."

Lin Feng stood in a corner of the cave, watching the Yun Yun who remained unable to move.

He had no intention of stepping forward to help.

Instead, he stayed nearby, quietly awaiting her invitation.

At that time, treating Yun Yun's wound wouldn't easily arouse her vigilance.

After several attempts, Yun Yun ultimately gave up the idea of treating herself.

She turned her head, her beautiful eyes gazing at Lin Feng watching from the side, scrutinizing him closely.

She thought that the young man before her had done nothing improper while she was unconscious, so he was unlikely to be harmful.

Moreover, the current situation left no room for further delay.

She exhaled lightly and helplessly whispered, "Little brother, could you help me treat my injury…"

Her voice was exceedingly pleasant, yet perhaps because of her status, it always carried an unmistakable trace of nobility.

"Me?"

Upon hearing the invitation, Lin Feng lifted his face, stared at the beauty on the bed, and pre‑emptively declared, "I can help, but first let me say, your wound's location is extremely delicate; if I accidentally touch it… you mustn't do anything rash."

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Yun Yun was instantly both amused and exasperated.

In this barren mountain wilderness, she was immobilized, yet still feared that you, a stranger, might act impulsively and commit some beastly act.

"My temperament isn't that vile; as long as you keep your hands in check and don't act recklessly, I certainly won't repay kindness with malice."

However, thinking of a stranger soon handling this sensitive wound, Yun Yun shyly closed her eyes, lightly parting her pink lips, and her pleasant voice resonated.

With her assurance, Lin Feng finally stepped forward.

His gaze swept over her beautiful face once more, and he cleared his throat.

He extended his hand and gently lifted her coat.

Below it, a light‑blue metallic inner armor was revealed.

The flowing light on the armor, rippling like water, clearly indicated it was no ordinary item.

Upon the armor were five deep claw marks, with thin streams of blood seeping from them.

"So this is that so‑called Sea‑something inner armor, indeed crafted from six‑tier beast hide; without this protection, the Amethyst‑winged Lion King's attack could have torn her upper body apart."

Staring at the light‑blue inner armor whose name he had already forgotten, Lin Feng exclaimed in awe.

"Cough… you see, the scar is beneath the armor; to treat the wound I can only move it aside. So you mean…"

Looking at the costly light‑blue armor, Lin Feng suddenly addressed the slightly flushed‑cheeked Yun Yun.

As for the fourth‑grade healing medicine he could take directly from his ring, and the fifth‑grade healing medicine he seized from Hai Bo Dong,

Sorry, please forgive his temporary blindness and forgetfulness.

After all, he already saved a person and offended that sixth‑tier beast, the Amethyst‑winged Lion King.

If he can't find a way to secure this great beauty to mitigate his loss, then his whole endeavor would be in vain.

By this count, he ends up losing even his underwear.

Although he hasn't reached the point of using that stuff, he still doesn't mind employing some tactics.

Because, according to the original work, before this, Yun Yun obviously hasn't experienced these things.

After this ambiguous encounter, Yun Yun, experiencing this for the first time, if she is not an utterly heartless person, will surely find it hard to forget.

By then, winning Yun Yun's heart will be much easier...

And upon hearing that she needed to undo her inner armor, Yun Yun's body visibly trembled, and she glanced shyly at him.

Since she could remember, this was her first time being this intimate with someone of the opposite sex.

She took a deep breath, then slowly closed her beautiful eyes again.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as she suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart and said, "Continue, thanks."

Hearing him say that, Lin Feng helped her up, had her sit with her back to him, and began treating her wound.

While moving her clothing, his fingers occasionally touched her fair, tender skin.

And each time this happened, he could feel her body suddenly tense up.

It seems Yun Yun's emotions are also quite tense.

Regarding this matter of male-female contact, even the noble Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect cannot remain calm as still water.

And Yun Yun, suddenly being this close to a strange man, couldn't help but feel a hint of panic in her heart.

At the same time, it caused this Fighting Emperor-level female expert, Yun Yun, whose skin was snow-white, to gradually suffuse with a light pink hue.

"You'd better not mess around!"

Being this intimate with someone of the opposite sex for the first time left the Yun Yun whose Qi was sealed feeling extremely insecure, and she warned the youth.

After hesitating a moment, Lin Feng still took out a set of large black robes from his storage ring.

Then he slipped it over her delicate body from behind.

Only then did he slowly turn her around again and lay her upon the stone bed.

Turning around, Lin Feng then noticed.

Yun Yun's beautiful cheeks also flushed with an alluring blush.

The gaze she directed at him lost almost all of its wariness.

Obviously, Lin Feng's earlier act of draping clothing over her to relieve the embarrassment made her impression of him improve.

"I'm going to clean and disinfect the wound."

After a moment, Lin Feng gave a reminder.

He then slowly pulled down the black robe in front of her.

He didn't stop until the wound was fully exposed.

He took some clean towels from his storage ring.

Then he poured some medicinal liquid from a jade bottle.

Then he gently wiped away the fresh blood stains around the wound.

As Lin Feng gently wiped, perhaps due to the wound's pain, Yun Yun's delicate body kept tensing up.

Especially when Lin Feng's fingers accidentally touched the area beside the wound, this situation became most intense.

And Yun Yun also knew that such proximity made contact inevitable, so she remained silent.

However, after all the fuss of treating the wound, the noble phoenix hair ornament atop her head also quietly shed a few pieces.

Looking at her, she seemed to have lost some dignity and gained a womanly languor.

Opening her shy, beautiful eyes, she gazed at the youth before her, head lowered, earnestly cleaning the wound, and her eyes gained a touch of gratitude.

After carefully cleaning the wound, Lin Feng took out another jade bottle and then said to Yun Yun, who was looking at him, "It might hurt a little; please endure it."

"Mm, just some pain; I can bear it, thank you for the trouble."

Yun Yun gave a slight nod, then spoke to Lin Feng in a clear voice.

Upon hearing that, Lin Feng opened the stopper and began pouring the medicinal powder onto the wound.

Since the medicinal powder causes some pain when it heals the wound.

this made the beauty's brows furrow slightly, and she occasionally let out a pained groan.

Seeing this, Lin Feng also sped up his movements...

Not long after, he had finished sprinkling the powder onto the wound.

Then he took out some more bandages, sprinkled another kind of medicinal powder on them, and carefully wrapped her wound.

Of course, during the bandaging, although Lin Feng didn't look askance, his peripheral vision still caught a glimpse of something...

"All right, that's all I can help you with; as for that seal remaining, I have no way to undo it, so you'll have to rely on yourself."

He clapped his hands, stepped back, and said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Lying quietly on the stone bed, Yun Yun, her whole body still flushed with crimson not yet fully faded, suddenly broke into a smile before Lin Feng—a smile that could be called peerlessly beautiful.
