By the time Yu Yan could understand anything, the Disaster Snow Ape which she was running away from was already dead.
And her young saviour was fainted and covered in a lot of blood.
Calming down after noticing that Jian Shen didn't have any injuries, and realizing that the only reason he fainted was due to overusing his Qi, Yu Yan smiled from relief and happiness.
The next moment she went near the fainted Jian Shen and pulled his body off the floor.
Noticing that the black sword in his hand had fallen, Yu Yan was about to pick it up as well, when the sword flew on its own and placed itself through the sash.
While stunned, Yu Yan didn't try to touch the sword and moved towards the Disaster Snow Ape which was cut into two pieces.
Storing the pieces inside her spatial ring, Yu Yan started running away while holding onto the blood covered Jian Shen.
Because waiting there any longer was not safe, when the scent of blood would attract more beasts. And Yu Yan in her current state would end up becoming their food.
So taking Jian Shen away with her, was the best course of action.
Yu Yan's actions proved to be the correct one, because soon after she left the location of the fight, huge roars of multiple beasts came from various directions as they all rushed towards the place where the Disaster Snow Ape had died.
After all, a dead Spirit Beast wasn't just valuable to humans, but to Spirit Beasts as well. Since eating them would help the beasts grow stronger.
Taking Jian Shen, Yu Yan stopped near a stream.
Hesitating for a few seconds she gulped hard and began undressing Jian Shen.
However, before she could even undo the sash the two swords which her hanging by the sides of his waist flew up and placed their blades on her neck.
Freezing on the spot, Yu Yan didn't make a single move under the threat of the flying swords.
With sweat dripping down her nose, Yu Yan didn't even look at Jian Shen as she clumsily retired the sash, after which the sword went back.
After the swords went back, Yu Yan sighed from relief and felt that she should leave before the sword decide to kill her on a whim.
But, looking at the fainted Jian Shen who risked his life to save her, Yu Yan was unable to bring herself to leave.
Going to the stream, she brought a bowl of clear water back with her and used a clean cloth to wipe the blood on his face and arms.
Once she could see Jian Shen's face, Yu Yan couldn't help but unconsciously smile from how handsome he was.
At the same time, since there was no terrifying pressure around her, Yu Yan could sense Jian Shen's actual cultivation, which further improved her impression of him.
Now completely unwilling to abandon the boy who despite being in the Qi Liquification Realm, risked his life to save her, Yu Yan nervously and gently raised his head and placed it on her lap.
Luckily, the flying swords didn't seem to be too offended this time and therefore didn't try and attack her.
…
After what felt like a very comfortable sleep for some reason, Jian Shen opened his eyes to figure out the reason behind it.
He was enjoying a lap pillow!
Acting as if he was groggy, Jian Shen decided to take advantage of the beautiful lady.
Rolling his body to the side, Jian Shen stretched his arms and hugged Yu Yan's waist.
Caught off guard, Yu Yan looked down and saw that Jian Shen was still asleep. Therefore she didn't do anything, and just bore with it, since she felt a little guilty about what was happening to Jian Shen.
Unfortunately, Jian Shen saw this as an opportunity and was about to go one step further, when he felt a piercing sensation on the sides of his legs.
Bearing with the pain from having the two swords piercing his skin, Jian Shen did his best to not shout.
Behaving as if he just woke up, Jian Shen looked up at the lady he saved and said, "Pretty angel, is this afterlife?"
Blinking her eyes, Yu Yan couldn't resist ruffling Jian Shen's hair and say, "Thanks for the compliment, but you're still alive."
The other two women, however, didn't appreciate what Jian Shen said.
"Humph! You never called me an angel. And I let you sleep on my lap, many times!"
"What a cheap pickup line! If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have helped you save her, husband!"
Ignoring the jealous Qingyu and Juewang, Jian Shen smiled and said, "Too bad. If I was dead, it would have only been the two of us."
Understanding that Jian Shen was flirting with her, Yu Yan shook her head.
"Thanks for saving me, but I'm happily married."
Flinching at what Yu Yan said, Jian Shen calmly said, "You're either happy, or married, which is it?"
As soon as Jian Shen said those words, the two swords immediately gave him a piece of their minds.
"It's nice to know what your opinion on marriage is."
"I'll make sure to remember what this, husband."
Chuckling from what Jian Shen said, Yu Yan nodded her head.
"You're right. I'm not happy. But, I have a word of advice for you."
"What is it?"
"Don't ever use those words as a pickup line on married women."
"Why?"
"Because, we want to be married and happy at the same time. So, if you say such words, no sane woman would fall for you."
"I see."
Looking at Jian Shen who seemed like he was considering her words seriously, Yu Yan once again chuckled and ruffled his hair.
"Want to listen to my story?"
As Jian Shen nodded her head, Yu Yan began sharing her past. Because for some reason she felt very comfortable with Jian Shen.
Listening to Yu Yan's complete story, Jian Shen jumped to his feet and said, "As a saviour of women, I, Jian Shen will help cure your illness, Yu Yan!"
Once Jian Shen said those words, Juewang and Qingyu said at the same time.
"And then sleep with you."
"And then sleep with you."
