Chapter 27 - Rescuing the Heroine?

Initially, Gu Fei didn't plan to get involved in this mess. Now that Little Fairy Doctor had awakened, he should spend a few more days with her, taking care of her and thinking about how to solve the hidden dangers of her Woeful Poison Body.

However, after thinking it over, Gu Fei realized that Yun Yun, being an important character in the original story, must have considerable luck value. Even the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who was fighting Yun Yun, would possess far more luck than an ordinary magical beast.

So, without much hesitation, Gu Fei decided to head over and check things out.

Worried that his sudden disappearance might make Little Fairy Doctor anxious, he briefly explained before leaving, "Little Fairy Doctor, I need to step out for a while. Take care of yourself!"

Though feeling a subtle reluctance, Little Fairy Doctor could only nod and obediently agree.

...

In the sky, intense energy fluctuations continuously produced sounds akin to muffled thunder.

Gu Fei's eyes were fixed on the distant horizon as he concealed his aura and hurried towards the source of the disturbance. The sky was filled with blue and purple, almost covering half the sky. Even the lazy white clouds were tinged with those two colors.

Another thunderous roar echoed, and Gu Fei saw that the purple light emitted by the Amethyst Winged Lion King enveloped the sky and earth. After a brief buildup, the purple light suddenly condensed.

In just an instant, the vast purple light compressed into a deep purple beam of light, only half a foot wide. The beam of light in the sky shot forward like lightning, its speed terrifying. In just two jumps, it appeared before the small figure in the sky.

With Gu Fei's eyesight, even from a distance, he could clearly make out the figure's outline. The woman in the sky was dressed in a simple gown that accentuated her voluptuous figure. She held a long sword emitting a green glow, her black hair styled in an elegant phoenix bun. Her beautiful face was calm and serene, but now, due to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's ultimate sealing technique, her previously tranquil expression had faded.

This woman was obviously Yun Yun, the character from the original story who fought the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Amethyst Seal!"

As the purple light flickered in the sky, the deep roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King echoed through the mountains. The Amethyst Seal clashed briefly with the wind blades in front of Yun Yun, shattering them.

Gu Fei had just approached when the grand battle was nearing its end. The purple beam of light tore through the multiple wind shields Yun Yun had set up, finally piercing into her body. The Amethyst Winged Lion King quickly moved, its giant paw slamming towards Yun Yun, who, with a slight tremor of her sword, sent out a fine ray of light, severing half of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's sharp horn!

"Roar... Damn it!"

Roaring in pain, the Amethyst Winged Lion King unleashed a furious roar. Its paw, filled with unmatched force, struck Yun Yun's chest. A harsh, metallic screech was heard as Yun Yun, hit hard, spat out a small mouthful of blood, her face turning pale.

Using her last bit of strength, Yun Yun flashed away, quickly disappearing from the Lion King's sight. However, by then, she was too exhausted and fell unconscious.

"Whoosh..."

By coincidence, her unconscious body fell in Gu Fei's direction.

"This..."

Gu Fei, momentarily surprised, instinctively reached out to catch the bloodied Yun Yun. Holding her, he concealed both their auras.

"Find her, and make sure to find that human woman alive..."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King, realizing Yun Yun's aura had vanished, roared furiously. It sent its subordinate lower-tier magical beasts to search the area where Yun Yun had escaped.

Meanwhile, Gu Fei had already taken Yun Yun to a nearby cave. Inside the cave was a stone platform made of green stone. Yun Yun was severely injured, so Gu Fei carefully placed her down and observed the woman who dared to challenge the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

As he studied her closely, Gu Fei couldn't help but feel a sense of amazement. Describing her as beautiful with features like painted eyebrows and jade-like skin wouldn't be an exaggeration. She had a perfect blend of bone structure and complexion, with skin as delicate and white as snow, and her black hair neatly tied at the back.

What impressed Gu Fei the most was the noble and graceful aura she exuded. His gaze swept over her delicate face, then moved downward, his brows furrowing slightly.

On her chest, beneath her jade-like neck, were five horrifying claw marks, bleeding and staining her clothes red.

"She's this badly injured..."

The next moment, Gu Fei took out a pill from his storage ring and fed it to Yun Yun. The pill was a sixth-grade healing pill with remarkable effects. Yun Yun's terrible wounds were quickly stabilized.

Although the pill was effective, the body experiences pain during the healing process. As the pill took effect, Yun Yun's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of pain appeared on her face. Despite this, her appearance remained captivating.

"It seems the pills I refined work well..."

Seeing Yun Yun's expression gradually relax, Gu Fei also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after a while, Yun Yun suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes flashing with coldness as she stared at Gu Fei, her demeanor entirely different from her previous fragile state.

"Who are you?"

Yun Yun asked with a hint of suspicion, gazing at the unfamiliar young man before her. When Gu Fei had carried her into the cave earlier, Yun Yun had briefly regained consciousness, catching a blurry glimpse of his face, but then she had forgotten everything.

In the face of an unknown man in the magical beast mountain range, Yun Yun instinctively felt wary.

"Earlier, you were injured while fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King," Gu Fei said calmly. "But after I gave you a healing pill, you're fine now. Although the blood on your body looks alarming, the wounds have stopped bleeding and are mostly healed."

Hearing this, Yun Yun let down her guard a bit. When she tried to get up, she realized she was extremely weak and couldn't use her Dou Qi. She quickly understood that this was caused by the Amethyst Seal from the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Seeing Yun Yun's face showing a hint of frustration, Gu Fei cleared his throat and continued, "As for the seal, don't worry. You'll be able to break it in a couple of days."

Yun Yun feels curious. Emotion value +100

At this moment, Yun Yun became somewhat curious about Gu Fei. Despite looking younger than her, he not only possessed strength she couldn't discern, but also had such a thorough understanding of a technique like the Amethyst Seal.
