Healing

Yun Yun's attack made the Amethyst Winged Lion King feel a sense of impending death, but it deftly dodged, although the attack was too swift. The lion king's slightly lowered head avoided the strike, but the fiery red horn on its head was caught. The horn, the strongest part of its body, was sliced in half in an instant!

The intense pain caused the Amethyst Winged Lion King to emit a furious roar. It swung its front paw with immense force, the violent energy crashing down on Yun Yun's chest.

Yun Yun's protective azure aura was instantly shattered by the lion king's fierce strike. She coughed up blood and her face turned pale. Feeling the rapid sealing of her fighting spirit, Yun Yun's wings fluttered and she quickly vanished into the horizon.

Watching Yun Yun, severely injured yet still managing to escape with her impressive agility, the wounded Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a thunderous roar of rage.

At this moment, the little Amethyst Winged Lion King slowly flew over, its large eyes filled with grievance and anger. The fact that its possession was directly stolen by Xiao Yu was a great humiliation for the entire Amethyst Winged Lion clan!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King cast a furious glance at its son, then its wrathful roar echoed throughout the valley. The surrounding mountains trembled under the violent power of its roar, and countless beasts lay prostrate on the ground, shivering with fear. "Search the entire Beast Mountain Range and find those two humans, no matter what!"

Taking advantage of the turbulence caused by Yun Yun's and the Amethyst Winged Lion King's battle, Xiao Yu quickly evaded the little Amethyst Winged Lion King. Once he had escaped, he saw that Yun Yun's last direction was towards the cave where they had previously stayed. Xiao Yu did not delay and flew quickly in that direction, knowing Yun Yun must be injured.

Returning to the base of the waterfall, Xiao Yu found Yun Yun lying in the lake below the waterfall. Her face was extremely pale, with a terrifying wound on her chest still bleeding. It was clear that she was seriously injured.

With a flap of his purple wings, Xiao Yu flew above the lake, carefully gathered Yun Yun in his arms, and swiftly returned to the cave. Feeling the faint scent of blood and Yun Yun's soft fragrance, Xiao Yu was momentarily lost in thought. Up close, Yun Yun's delicate face was even more striking, her injury adding a touch of vulnerability to her beauty.

Gently placing her on the stone bed, Xiao Yu took out a vial of medicinal powder to erase any traces of their presence. After ensuring they were not being tracked, he returned to the cave.

As Xiao Yu entered, Xiaobai, looking worried, began to chirp anxiously. Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Xiaobai, don't worry. Stay aside; I need to tend to her wounds."

Xiaobai seemed to understand and went to the cave entrance.

Turning his attention back to Yun Yun, Xiao Yu saw the terrifying claw mark on her chest. His brows furrowed slightly. Her outer garment was stained with blood, and even in her unconscious state, her brows were slightly furrowed, her face showing signs of pain.

Xiao Yu muttered to himself, "Desperate times call for desperate measures. The system wants me to save you, so bear with it!" With that, he started to unfasten her clothes. The moment his hands touched Yun Yun's body, she suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze cold and full of resentment as she stared at Xiao Yu.

Ignoring her warning glare, Xiao Yu continued to remove her top and said, "Don't move. The Amethyst Winged Lion King's seal has taken effect. You're not at your full strength right now. I'm here to help, so don't worry. I won't take advantage of you."

Realizing she was indeed under the Amethyst Winged Lion King's seal, Yun Yun's cold gaze softened somewhat. Still, seeing Xiao Yu skillfully undressing her, she couldn't help but warn, "You'd better not have any bad intentions, or I'll kill you as soon as I regain my strength!"

"Ha, women are always so troublesome. Even now, you need my help, yet you still warn me. Besides, with your figure, I don't even look twice. It's not as good as Xun'er's!" Xiao Yu retorted while taking out some high-quality healing medicine.

"You… philanderer. You seem very familiar with undressing women. You must have done this kind of dirty work many times!" Yun Yun said angrily.

Xiao Yu wasn't bothered by her comments and chuckled. As he prepared to remove Yun Yun's final layer of undergarment, she trembled slightly, closed her eyes after taking a deep breath, and tried to hide her inner turmoil.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful," Xiao Yu said reassuringly. He carefully removed the Heart of the Sea armor, revealing Yun Yun's alluring back. Xiao Yu, a man in his thirties, nearly lost his composure. He chanted a calming spell to regain his focus and then put a black robe from his storage ring on Yun Yun.

After turning her around, Xiao Yu adjusted the collar to cover her wound and applied a hemostatic medicine. His fingers brushing against Yun Yun's white skin caused her body to tense up. Xiao Yu smiled lightly, causing Yun Yun to snap, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at how a Dou Emperor powerhouse like you still gets flustered over such things," Xiao Yu replied with a grin as he continued to treat her wound.

"Hmph, you think everyone is like you, a rogue and a lecher. I'm no longer interested in romance!" Yun Yun said coldly.

"Oh really? Then why are you blushing?" Xiao Yu teased.

"I'm just in pain from the wound!" Yun Yun retorted, although her expression betrayed her.

Xiao Yu, not pressing further, took out a black pill and placed it in Yun Yun's mouth. Startled by the sudden action, Yun Yun tried to struggle but was held down by Xiao Yu. He said calmly, "Relax, it's a painkiller. Even a Dou Emperor should be able to recognize that."

Yun Yun wanted to argue but found herself unable to refute his point. She decided to stay silent as Xiao Yu finished treating her wound and carefully bandaged it. He then patted his hands and said, "The rest is up to you."

Yun Yun, annoyed, turned her head away. Hearing Xiao Yu's words, she mumbled, "Thank you."

"What? Speak up!" Xiao Yu pretended not to hear, holding his ear in a playful manner.

Yun Yun rolled her eyes and said, "Forget it if you didn't hear."

Xiao Yu shrugged and said, "Can't help it. You should smile more; you look beautiful when you do!"

"You haven't even seen me smile. How do you know?" Yun Yun asked with some curiosity.

"Heh, just a guess. Since you look so good even when you're not smiling, you must look even better when you do!" Xiao Yu said with a grin.

A faint blush appeared on Yun Yun's face. No one had ever complimented her so directly before. Seeing Xiao Yu's smug grin, she retorted, "Flattery. You must have fooled many girls with your sweet talk."

"Ha, you haven't experienced it, so how would you know?" Xiao Yu muttered under his breath, though Yun Yun didn't catch it.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. I'll go outside and check things out!" Xiao Yu said, leaving the cave.

As Yun Yun watched his retreating figure, a charming smile appeared on her face. Unfortunately, Xiao Yu did not see it.
