The courtyard walls, built from a mix of stone bricks and clay, enclosed a space of about fifty square ters, separating the main house from the back house. The blood-stained girl, suspected to be Nanling Yaohua, lay on the open ground in front of the back house entrance.
It looked as if she had tried to hide in the back house, but perhaps due to her severe injuries, she fainted before she could reach it.
Lu Yibei stared at the Mingfeng Bell on Nanling Yaohua's ankle, lost in thought for two seconds, then quickly walked forward, crouched down, and reached out to pick Nanling Yaohua up. But as if rembering sothing, she frowned and pulled her hand back.
She suddenly realized that Nanling Yaohua seed to be seriously injured. Besides the visible external wounds, she likely had internal injuries. Moving her rashly without knowing the specific injuries might cause secondary harm.
The correct approach would be to examine Nanling Yaohua's injuries, confirm that moving her would not cause secondary harm, and only then attempt to move her body.
But...
“Even if I can use Spiritual Perception to detect her injuries, I don't have any effective treatnt thods!” Lu Yibei thought, a headache starting.
Although she knew many healing Spells, she had never actually used them.
Those healing Spells were either secretly learned from Fu Xinyi or freely acquired from the Great Serpent God's mories or other miscellaneous sources. She wasn't confident in using them without error, and was sowhat hesitant to apply them directly to Nanling Yaohua.
This was like so Doctors who, despite having perford thousands of surgeries, would not dare to operate on their own family mbers when needed.
After all, the amplification of her Spirit Mark ability was quite unstable. With the fuxing copper coin “locked” in the God Kingdom Prototype, she couldn't judge the approximate range. One careless mistake, and a healing Spell amplified forty or fifty tis would be unleashed.
And healing Spells, when amplified to a certain extent, have the potential to “overheal.”
If that happened, Nanling Yaohua's injuries might be healed, but she might inexplicably end up with extra bones or other internal organs, which would not be good.
“...”
“If only the God Kingdom Prototype's passage could be opened, I could take out so healing Alchemy potions and just pour them on her.”
Just like watering a flower.
Before she had completely controlled the Hundred-Ard Giant's power within her, and after obtaining Alchemy potion recipes from Da Chunyang Palace, she had made a large batch of low-quality healing Alchemy potions.
Although those Alchemy potions were not high in quality, they made up for it in sheer quantity!
Even if they were all “basic health potions,” reality wasn't a ga; there was no item cooldown. If all else failed, she could just give Nanling Yaohua a “health potion” bath to at least stabilize her injuries.
Lu Yibei thought secretly while examining Nanling Yaohua's injuries. A mont later, as if she noticed sothing unexpected, she suddenly frowned and let out a sound of confusion.
“Huh? Strange, how could this be?”
After a thorough examination, Lu Yibei discovered that Nanling Yaohua's injuries did not seem as serious as they appeared.
Although Nanling Yaohua had at least twenty penetrating wounds, the most dangerous one was only one or two centiters away from her heart. If a normal person were injured like this, the probability of death would be very high.
But Nanling Yaohua was not an ordinary person; she was a high-level Psychic. And while her wounds seed dangerously placed, they had all actually avoided vital points.
For most high-level Psychic, injuries of this degree would at most lead to fainting from blood loss, as Nanling Yaohua was now, ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) but would not be fatal.
Upon realizing this, Lu Yibei temporarily suppressed her confusion, picked up Nanling Yaohua, and quickly walked into the back house of the small courtyard, placing her on the bed inside the room.
How Nanling Yaohua got injured was not the most important thing at the mont; the priority was to treat her wounds.
Although these wounds would eventually heal on their own given a high-level Psychic's physique, treating them would help her recover faster.
“Rip—rip—!”
With a series of tearing sounds, Lu Yibei ripped off the sleeves and part of the skirt of Nanling Yaohua's robe, exposing the wounds while creating a rag and so simple bandages.
Carefully Rubbed it and a water-attribute Spell similar in level to Red Fla Flash, she took so water, cleaned the rag, and then turned back, ready to wipe the dirt from Nanling Yaohua's body, when her body suddenly stiffened.
Just now, Lu Yibei was so focused on treating Nanling Yaohua's wounds that she didn't think too much. Now, she suddenly noticed that after tearing off so of her clothing, Nanling Yaohua's arms, thighs, and half of her shoulder were exposed. Her skin had a texture like Hetian jade from the Gobi Desert, feeling warm and smooth to the touch.
What was worse, she was currently weak, unconscious, and completely defenseless.
One might ask, if a beautiful girl, dressed in rags and utterly defenseless, were laid out before soone, would anyone not be moved?
Yes, there was one: Lu Yibei. Under the lingering influence of Human Fireworks, she had no impure thoughts whatsoever.
It's just...
Isn't this a bit improper?
Although she was only helping her treat her wounds, there was still a slight suspicion of taking advantage of soone in a vulnerable state. So of her wounds were near her chest and lower abdon.
Should I close my eyes and only use Spiritual Perception... No, no, isn't that self-deception? It's like covering your eyes with your hand but leaving gaps between your fingers.
Lu Yibei thought, quickly treating the wounds on Nanling Yaohua's hands and feet, then turned her back and sent a ssage to the Coat via the familiar's mark.
Simply cleaning and bandaging wounds isn't complicated; the Coat should be able to handle this small task...
【My little darling, I'm leaving her to you!】
【Okay, leave her to !】
The next mont, accompanied by a rustling squirming sound, several tentacle-like strips of cloth extended from Lu Yibei's back, picked up the previously cleaned cloth strips and the clean rag, and began treating Nanling Yaohua's wounds.
Just like an intelligent robotic arm.
A few minutes later, when Lu Yibei received a reminder from the Coat through the familiar's mark, she turned around and saw Nanling Yaohua, her body wrapped in cloth strips, her alluring curves fully displayed.

Why does she seem even more alluring than before?
She was originally just a defenseless beautiful girl, but now she had beco a defenseless beautiful girl who was also clean, packaged, and placed on the bed. So key areas even had exquisite bows tied on them. Did the Coat misunderstand sothing? Why would it...
Ah, never mind, let's just leave it like this for now!
Lu Yibei rested one hand on her forehead, rubbing her slightly throbbing temples, then imdiately fell into thought.
While treating Nanling Yaohua's wounds just now, she discovered sothing even more surprising.
Although there were strong Spiritual Energy fluctuations remaining on the edges of Nanling Yaohua's wounds, she did not detect even a trace of foreign Spiritual Energy fluctuations within Nanling Yaohua that did not belong to her.
The individual who caused these injuries to Nanling Yaohua seed to have retracted their Spiritual Energy fluctuations the mont they broke through Nanling Yaohua's defense and stabbed their weapon into her body.
Furthermore, the weapon used to injure Nanling Yaohua was not even a Spiritual Energy item; otherwise, there would definitely be residual Spiritual Energy fluctuations from the item itself deep within the wounds.
In other words...
The person who injured Nanling Yaohua not only stabbed her dozens of tis, ticulously avoiding vital points each ti, but also possibly used an ordinary weapon whose quality was not much better than a kitchen knife bought for twenty-nine yuan and ninety cents at a wet market...
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it beca! How strong was that person? Lu Yibei's expression changed at this thought.
Nanling Yaohua was already very strong, almost in the top tier below Calamity, and could even contend with a slightly weaker Calamity-level entity.
An entity capable of leaving such injuries on Nanling Yaohua must have overwhelming combat power, several levels stronger than her.
And according to Lord Huaiyuan, this individual, who was several levels stronger than Nanling Yaohua in combat power, was very likely the Shaman King, who had just been released by those Half-Guitan and was currently on a killing spree.
“...”
If the one who injured Xiao Hua was indeed the Shaman King, that would be too strange.
Didn't they say he killed indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe?
“Why did he specifically show rcy to Xiao Hua?” Lu Yibei wondered.
