Chapter 27: Trying to Play the Hero Saving the Beauty?
Originally, Gu Fei did not intend to get involved in these muddy waters at all.
Now that Xiao Yixian had awakened, he should spend more days accompanying and taking care of her, and incidentally think about how to resolve the hidden danger of the Woeful Poison Body.
However, Gu Fei had a change of heart, thinking that as an important character in the original work, Yun Yun's luck value must also be quite good.
Furthermore, not to mention Yun Yun, even the luck of the Amethyst Winged Lion King that was battling Yun Yun would far exceed that of ordinary Magical Beasts.
Therefore, Gu Fei did not hesitate much and decided to go over there to take a look.
However, he worried that his sudden disappearance would make Xiao Yixian worry, so before leaving, he gave a brief explanation: "Xiao Yixian, I need to leave for a moment, take good care of yourself!"
【Xiao Yixian feels a sense of reluctance, Emotion Value +100】
Xiao Yixian felt a subtle sense of reluctance in her heart, but could only nod and obediently agree.
……
Above the azure sky, violent energy fluctuations continuously produced sounds like muffled thunder.
Gu Fei's eyes were fixed tightly on the distant horizon, and he hurried toward that direction while concealing his aura.
There, cyan and red colors almost filled half the sky.
Even the lazy white clouds were dyed to shimmer with two-colored light.
A thunderous roar sounded in his ears again, and Gu Fei saw that the purple radiance from the Amethyst Winged Lion King had enveloped this patch of heaven and earth.
After a moment of brewing, that purple light suddenly tightened.
In just the blink of an eye, the purple radiance filling the sky compressed into a deep purple beam of light only about half a foot wide.
That deep purple beam of light in the sky flashed out like lightning; the speed of the beam was terrifyingly fast, almost like a flicker, and in just two leaps, it appeared before the petite figure in the sky.
With Gu Fei's eyesight, even from far away, he could clearly see the outline of that petite figure.
The woman in the sky had her curvaceous body wrapped in a plain dress, held a sword with a somewhat strange appearance that emitted cyan light, and had her dark hair tied into a noble phoenix hairstyle; her beautiful and moving face appeared calm and tranquil, but at this moment, because the Amethyst Winged Lion King had begun to unleash its Life-Bound Sealing Technique, the indifference on her face finally dissipated.
Clearly, this woman was Yun Yun, who battled the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the original work.
"Purple Crystal Seal!"
In the sky, as that purple light flickered, the low roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King also echoed continuously throughout the mountain range.
That Purple Crystal Seal touched the Wind Roll Blade in front of Yun Yun for a moment before scattering it.
Gu Fei had only just approached when this massive battle was already nearing its end.
The purple beam of light, with a destructive force, pierced through the dozens of layers of Wind Shield that Yun Yun had set up in front of her, and finally shot into her body.
Immediately after, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flashed quickly, its giant palm slapping toward Yun Yun; as the long sword in her hand trembled slightly, a thin line of light suddenly flew out, actually snapping off half of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's horn!
"Roar... Damn it!"
Stung by the pain, the Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a violent lion roar.
Its palm and claws, mixed with fierce and peerless energy, struck heavily upon Yun Yun's chest.
Following a somewhat harsh metallic creaking sound, the heavily struck Yun Yun spat out a small mouthful of blood, and her cheeks turned somewhat pale.
She exhausted her final strength, flashed repeatedly, and soon disappeared from the Lion King's line of sight; however, by this time, she was physically exhausted and actually fell directly into a coma.
"Whoosh..."
Coincidentally, after she fell unconscious, the direction she fell in was actually toward Gu Fei.
"This..."
Gu Fei was surprised for an instant, and instinctively reached out to catch the blood-covered Yun Yun.
Afterwards, he held Yun Yun and covered the aura emanating from both of them.
"Little ones, search for me, you must find that human woman..."
In the sky, the Amethyst Winged Lion King discovered that Yun Yun's aura had vanished and roared in anger.
It dispatched its subordinate low-level Magical Beasts to begin searching the area where Yun Yun had escaped.
Meanwhile, on Gu Fei's side, he had already brought Yun Yun to the nearest cave.
In this cave, there was a stone platform made of bluestone slabs; Yun Yun was injured quite heavily, so Gu Fei carefully laid her down and examined this woman who dared to challenge the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Gu Fei looked her over carefully, and a feeling of amazement naturally welled up in his heart.
Using words symbolizing beauty like "eyebrows like a painting" and "ice-skin and jade-bones" to describe her did not seem excessive.
She had a beautiful face with perfect bone structure and features, skin that was delicate and white as snow, and dark hair neatly tied behind her head.
Moreover, what amazed Gu Fei the most was the grace and nobility contained within her.
After his gaze swept over that delicate face that could be broken by a blow, Gu Fei's gaze moved slowly downward, but his brow furrowed slightly.
He saw that on her chest below her jade neck, five terrifying claw marks were stained blood-red with fresh blood.
"To be injured this heavily..."
The next moment, Gu Fei took a Pill from his Storage Ring and fed it into Yun Yun's mouth.
This Pill of Gu Fei's was a Sixth-Grade Healing Pill, and its effect was very significant.
Yun Yun's seemingly horrific injuries were quickly stabilized.
Although the Pill was good, the body would feel pain while repairing itself.
As the medicinal effect took hold, Yun Yun's dark eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a touch of pain lingered faintly on her cheeks; this appearance, although somewhat inconsistent with her temperament, was quite moving.
"It seems the Pill I refined myself has decent effects..."
Gu Fei watched as Yun Yun's expression gradually relaxed, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after a while, Yun Yun, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
Her beautiful eyes flashed with a touch of coldness as she stared fixedly at Gu Fei, her expression completely different from the weakness she had shown while in pain just moments ago.
【Yun Yun feels a sense of vigilance, Emotion Value +100】
"Who are you?"
Looking at the strange youth standing before her, Yun Yun asked with some confusion.
When Gu Fei had carried her into the cave earlier, Yun Yun had vaguely woken up for a fleeting moment and caught a blurry glimpse of Gu Fei's face, but she had completely forgotten it afterward.
Faced with a strange man appearing in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Yun Yun was subconsciously somewhat vigilant.
"Just now, you were injured while fighting the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King."
"However, after I fed you a Healing Pill, you are already fine; although the blood on your body looks terrifying, the wounds have all stopped bleeding and have mostly healed."
Gu Fei spoke very calmly.
Hearing these words, Yun Yun let down some of her guard, but when she tried to get up, she discovered that she was extremely weak and could not use her Dou Qi.
She quickly realized that this was caused by the Purple Crystal Seal of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King from just before.
Watching the look of annoyance on Yun Yun's face, Gu Fei cleared his throat and continued, "As for the Seal, you don't need to worry; you will be able to break through it yourself in two days."
【Yun Yun feels curious, Emotion Value +100】
At this moment, Yun Yun felt some curiosity toward Gu Fei because Gu Fei looked much younger than her.
A youth of this age not only possessed strength that even she could not fathom, but he was also so knowledgeable about a skill like the Purple Crystal Seal.
