"Leave alone, get your paws off!"
Ling Shuanghua glared with wide eyes as Li Chen’s hand wrapped around her waist, her voice low and stern.
Li Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure?"
Ling Shuanghua glared at him even bigger and bellowed, "Take your paws off now!"
"Alright then!"
Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and let go of his hand.
Without the support of Li Chen’s arm, Ling Shuanghua’s entire body instantly lost its balance and toppled into the creek.
"Splash!"
With a splash, Ling Shuanghua was soaked all over!
"What are you doing?"
Ling Shuanghua climbed up from the creek, her voice full of frantic anger.
Li Chen, with an innocent face, said, "You told to let go, how is it my fault?"
"Ahh, ahh, ahh!"
Ling Shuanghua was on the verge of a breakdown, splashing water around in the creek.
Seeing water stained red by the blood from her shoulder, Li Chen hastily yelled.
"Hey, take it easy, your wound is still bleeding!"
"Mind your own business!"
No sooner had she said these words than Ling Shuanghua burst into tears. All the suppression, all the grievances of these past months, burst forth uncontrollably, like the Yellow River flooding during the rainy season.
Li Chen was sweating with embarrassnt, completely clueless about the situation.
He looked around, stood thinking in place for a while, then slowly walked over.
"The wound on your shoulder is getting worse, let dress it for you!"
Ling Shuanghua ignored him, just continuing to sob.
This was her first ti away from her sect, and although she had encountered so dangers in the months since eting Li Chen, relying on her advanced cultivation techniques and top-notch equipnt, she had managed quite well.
But since eting Li Chen, unfortunate events had been endless. She, a fairy of the Heavenly Extre Sect, was not only seen naked by him, had her first kiss taken, but was also treated like a maid, with various threats and intimidation.
Ling Shuanghua felt that the grievances she had suffered these few months, added up to ten tis, a hundred tis more than those of her previous nineteen years combined.
The most, most dire part was that she couldn’t beat Li Chen. Now, aside from crying, she really had no other way to vent.
Seeing her silent, Li Chen looked up at Ling Shuanghua’s teary face and said, "Silence ans consent. I’ll clean your wound first and apply dication!"
Before he finished speaking, his hand gently untied the silk ribbon around Ling Shuanghua’s waist; her clothes slipped down, revealing her delicate collarbone and tempting shoulders.
However, there was a shocking claw mark on her scapula, with so old scabs. But due to the wound tearing apart whilst fleeing, it had burst open again. Moreover, there was so sticky, thick fluid on it.
Clearly, it was already festering and inflad!
If it continued like this, she might not be able to save her entire left arm.
"I’ll first clean off this thick fluid. It might hurt a bit; bear with it!"
Ling Shuanghua initially wanted to struggle away, not letting him apply dicine. But when she saw the disgusting sticky fluid on her shoulder, she almost vomited on the spot. Having mild germophobia, she naturally couldn’t bear having such filth on her body.
Moreover, seeing the seriousness in Li Chen’s eyes and his pure, unprofaned gaze, she reluctantly agreed and cooperated obediently.
Li Chen took out a dagger, heated it in the fla until it was glowing red, and then carefully scraped off the necrotic flesh and thick fluid.
"Sizzle, sizzle!"
The glowing red dagger touched the necrotic flesh and imdiately made a "sizzle" sound, accompanied by a sll of charred flesh.
This scent inexplicably reminded Ling Shuanghua of Li Chen’s barbecue. As she thought about it, she actually started to feel hungry, and her stomach uncontrollably grumbled.
However, Li Chen acted as if he hadn’t heard it, focusing solely on applying dicine to Ling Shuanghua’s scrape. After about a quarter of an hour of this, he had neatly bandaged her up.
"Done!"
By then, Ling Shuanghua had stopped crying. She glanced sideways, and muttered like a capricious child:
"How ugly, tie a butterfly knot for !"
"Uh, a butterfly knot?"
Li Chen looked bewildered.
Ling Shuanghua gently bit her lip and said, "Yes, a butterfly knot!"
Li Chen’s face was full of disbelief, but he still did as she requested.
He used to often tie Ye Chuxue’s shoelaces, always making butterfly knots, so he was quite adept at it.
Seeing that Li Chen actually compromised and tied a butterfly knot, and that his technique was very skilled, Ling Shuanghua couldn’t help but feel surprised.
"You often tied butterfly knots for girls before, didn’t you?"
Li Chen didn’t respond, tacitly confirming her statent.
"Was it Lian Hongshang?"
Ling Shuanghua suddenly asked.
"Sort of!"
Seeing Li Chen’s perfunctory attitude, Ling Shuanghua bit her lip harder, creating a clicking sound.
Li Chen felt that Ling Shuanghua was being sowhat inexplicable, so he shrugged and said, "Alright, put on your clothes!"
Ling Shuanghua took a goose-yellow garnt from her storage ring and wrapped it around herself. She also tied a light purple silk ribbon around her waist, accentuating her exquisite figure.
Moreover, since there was an injury on her shoulder, the garnt appeared sowhat loose. Following her fair, jade-like skin, one could see her delicate collarbone, and sneaking a glimpse down, there was a glimpse of snowy white curvature.
This enticing hint of hazy spring light was enough to make any man in this world bleed from desire.
Ling Shuanghua noticed this and shot a frosty glance over.
"Have you seen enough?"
Knowing he was at fault, Li Chen quickly averted his gaze, pretending to look around in a dignified manner.
Ling Shuanghua rolled her eyes and muttered, "Playboy, pretending to be decent?"
At that mont, Li Chen’s gaze firmly fixed ahead, and his expression turned serious.
"They’re here, one Quasi Golden Core and one Half Golden Core!"
"The others are about twenty miles away. If they rush here upon hearing news, it would take about twenty breaths’ ti. Later, you help hold off that Half Golden Core, just for ten breaths, will you manage?"
After saying this, Li Chen looked at Ling Shuanghua with an inquiring gaze.
Ling Shuanghua was sowhat astonished. Her cultivation was roughly equal to Li Chen’s, but in these vast woods, her spiritual power could only cover a radius of ten miles, and even at her peak, it was no more than fifteen miles.
But from Li Chen’s words, he could sense the presence of enemies about twenty miles away, perhaps even further, which was simply incredible.
Seeing that Ling Shuanghua hadn’t responded, Li Chen repeated his earlier question.
"Will you manage?"
Ling Shuanghua snapped back to reality, shook her head, and said, "No problem!"
Li Chen nodded and instructed, "Alright, be careful later, just use the Magical Treasure to hold him off. You’re still injured, don’t push yourself!"
"Hmph, who do you think you’re looking down on?"
Annoyed, Ling Shuanghua huffed and then gracefully walked towards the shore.
