Chapter 121: Yun Yun : "Mind your eyes!"
"Sorry, I hurt you!" Hearing Yun Yun's faint groan, Chen Feng's movements immediately came to a halt.
The next moment, a silver fighting spirit gathered in his palm, dividing into extremely fine silver threads. With great care, he severed the viscous blood connecting Yun Yun's skin and the black robe.
Seeing the serious expression on Chen Feng's face, a complex emotion flashed in Yun Yun's beautiful eyes. She didn't stop him, tacitly allowing Chen Feng to handle the wound.
"Alright, you can take off your clothes now, and I'll apply some medicine for you!" After dealing with the dried and sticky blood that had adhered the clothes to the skin, a jade bottle appeared in Chen Feng's hand. He spoke naturally.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun fell into silence. Her heart was in turmoil. Did she have to undress in front of this man again?
"Forget it, if you do it yourself, it might disturb the wound. I'll help you." Muttering to himself, Chen Feng was about to reach out to help Yun Yun untie her clothes. At this moment, Yun Yun's jade-like hands moved swiftly. She turned her back to Chen Feng and rapidly untied the black robe, letting it fall to her waist.
Instantly, Yun Yun's enchanting curves, with a long scar running across, were displayed before Chen Feng. Even with the scar, it didn't diminish the beauty of her snowy-white back.
Being half-naked in front of a man caused even Yun Yun, a former Dou Huang-level female powerhouse, to blush slightly, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
"When applying the medicine, mind your eyes!" Yun Yun issued a soft warning, but it lacked authority.
"Mm." Chen Feng nodded lightly, this time refraining from any inappropriate glances.
Taking out some clean cotton cloth from the storage ring, Chen Feng poured a light green liquid from another jade bottle. He gently wiped away the bloodstains near Yun Yun's wound.
As Chen Feng carefully wiped, Yun Yun's eyelashes trembled gently. On her face, there was a hint of lazy femininity.
After cleaning the wound carefully, Chen Feng picked up the jade bottle from the stone platform, sprinkling some white powder on the wound. Stimulated by the powder, Yun Yun's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a low moan of pain emanated from her delicate nose.
"Don't worry; it'll be better soon!" Smiling faintly, Chen Feng evenly spread the powder over the wound. Then, once again, he took out some hemostatic cotton cloth, wrapping her wound with great care.
Of course, during the bandaging process, although Chen Feng kept his gaze straight, he still saw some unintentional exposure. Seeing Yun Yun's snowy front in front of him, a strange impulse surged within Chen Feng. However, he quickly suppressed it.
In no time, Chen Feng clapped his hands, pulling up Yun Yun's black robe to her shoulders, saying, "Alright, the wound is treated!"
Seeing Chen Feng's well-behaved actions this time, Yun Yun's appreciation for him increased a bit. She whispered, "Thank you."
Hearing these three words, joy filled Chen Feng's heart. He could sense that Yun Yun was no longer as resistant to him as before.
From now on, the interaction between the two of them seemed less tense than before, but the conversation between them was still minimal. Most of the time, Yun Yun remained silent.
The coolness inside the mountain cave made it seem somewhat quiet. Chen Feng seemed to recall something and rekindled the campfire. He then went down to the waterfall to catch a few fish, grilling them over the fire.
This time, Chen Feng handed the grilled fish to Yun Yun. She did not refuse, accepting it after nodding. Tearing off a small piece of fish, her red lips moved slightly, chewing and savoring it elegantly.
"Why did you come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range?" Swallowing the fish in her mouth, Yun Yun suddenly asked with curiosity. She felt that someone like Chen Feng, a talented young man, must be a genius from some family or sect. Why would a family or sect send him to such a dangerous place for solo training?
"I came to do something very important!" Chen Feng raised his head, looking at Yun Yun with a smile, answering seriously, "And I've completed it!"
Hearing Chen Feng's response, Yun Yun felt something odd but couldn't figure out what it was.
"Oh, congratulations!" Yun Yun's tone was indifferent.
"And you, why did you come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range?" Chen Feng inquired.
"I came here to exchange for the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's Purple Spirit Crystal. But I haven't fought it yet and accidentally triggered its seal... I'll probably have to go again after I've healed!" Yun Yun felt there was nothing to hide, revealing some things.
However, when it came to the Purple Spirit Crystal, a figure of a young man suddenly appeared in Yun Yun's mind.
"Speaking of which, this person's figure is somewhat similar to Feng Er's. Moreover, they both have the Thunder attribute..." Yun Yun murmured, her thoughts wandering.
"So coincidental. The main reason I came here is for the companion Purple Crystal Source. When the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was absent, I visited its lair and took the companion Purple Crystal Source. I also brought out the Purple Spirit Crystal!" Chen Feng said with a smile, and a sharp irregular purple spirit stone appeared in his hand.
The brilliance circulated on the purple spirit stone, making it beautiful.
"It really is a Purple Spirit Crystal!"
Looking at the purple spirit stone in Chen Feng's hand, Yun Yun's expression was somewhat surprised. Initially, she planned to sneak into the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's lair to steal the Purple Spirit Crystal. Unexpectedly, a person with only the strength of a Da Dou Shi managed to accomplish what she, a Dou Huang powerhouse, had failed to do.
"No wonder the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King treated me differently before! It turns out it had already been invaded once!" Combining Chen Feng's words, Yun Yun's doubts were instantly resolved.
Next, Yun Yun looked at the Purple Spirit Crystal in Chen Feng's hand, her red lips slightly open, and her words somewhat hesitant, "Can you give me this Purple Spirit Crystal?"
"Sure, what do you plan to exchange it with?" Chen Feng nodded, looking at Yun Yun with a smile.
"Well..."
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Yun Yun fell silent again, feeling quite conflicted. Because, based on Chen Feng's previous combat performance, he definitely didn't lack any Profound-Rank techniques or skills. As for things like Magic Cores and elixirs, she didn't have anything on hand that could be equivalent to the Purple Spirit Crystal. So, for a moment, she hesitated.
However, while Yun Yun was deep in thought, Chen Feng continued, "If there's nothing suitable to exchange, it's okay. I'll give it to you."
Yun Yun hesitated for a moment, then said, "I appreciate your generosity, but I'll find something to exchange. I don't want to owe you a favor."
"Alright, suit yourself." Chen Feng smiled, not insisting.
The atmosphere between them eased a bit. After a moment of silence, Yun Yun spoke again, "By the way, what's your name?"
"Feng Chen"
""Feng Chen".. You're quite capable, especially for someone at the Da Dou Shi level. You handled the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King admirably," Yun Yun praised.
"Thank you for the compliment. What about you? You were once a powerhouse at the Dou Huang level, right?" Chen Feng asked.
A trace of complexity flickered in Yun Yun's eyes. She nodded, "Yes, but now, I'm just an ordinary Da Dou Shi"
Chen Feng was curious, "What happened? How did you end up like this?"
Yun Yun's expression dimmed slightly. "It's a long story. In short, I encountered some unexpected situations and ended up losing my strength. Now, I'm on a journey to recover."
Understanding that it might be a sensitive topic, Chen Feng didn't press further. Instead, he changed the subject, "I've noticed that you have a thunder attribute. Thunder-attribute cultivators are quite rare."
Yun Yun nodded, "Yes, my attribute is Thunder. What about you?"
Chen Feng chuckled, "I practice the Ice and Lightning attributes. It's a bit unusual, but it suits me."
The conversation continued as they shared bits of their cultivation experiences. Despite Yun Yun's initial wariness, she gradually opened up. As the night deepened, the two of them found themselves engaged in a more relaxed conversation.
Chen Feng, showing his gratitude for Yun Yun's trust, shared some of his own stories. They talked about their encounters, their experiences in cultivation, and even exchanged some insights on cultivation techniques.
The mountain cave, initially silent, now echoed with the occasional laughter of the two cultivators. It seemed that a subtle connection was forming between them.
As the night wore on, Chen Feng stood up and said, "It's getting late. You should rest. I'll keep watch."
Yun Yun hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded, "Alright, thank you."
Chen Feng nodded and walked to the cave entrance. With a sweep of his hand, he summoned a layer of ice mist to act as a barrier, isolating the cave from the outside.
Sitting back down, Chen Feng quietly watched over Yun Yun as she entered a state of meditation. He couldn't help but appreciate her beauty even in the dim light of the cave.
Time passed, and dawn approached. As the first light of morning entered the cave, Yun Yun opened her eyes and found Chen Feng still sitting there.
"You've been keeping watch all night?" Yun Yun asked in surprise.
Chen Feng smiled, "Yes, I wanted to make sure you were safe. Now that it's morning, we should continue our journey. There's much to explore in the Magic Beast Mountain Range."
Yun Yun nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart. She stood up, and the two of them prepared to leave the mountain cave together.
Little did they know that this chance encounter in the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range would mark the beginning of an extraordinary journey that would intertwine their fates in unexpected ways.
The sun rose, casting its golden rays on the mountain range, as the two cultivators embarked on their next adventure, side by side.
