Chapter 171: The Healing Process of Choosing One!
"Where did you find her?"
Not long after Xiao Yan returned to the cave, Jiang Lin, wearing an excited expression as if he had successfully stolen something, returned to the cave. He looked at the woman in green lying on the animal hide, slightly dazed.
"Lin Ge, you're back?" Xiao Yan, who had been feeling troubled about the injured and unconscious woman in green, heard the noise outside and looked up to see that Eagle Sauce had already run out to greet Jiang Lin, who was wearing tattered clothes.
"Lin Ge, you're not injured, are you?" Xiao Yan asked with some concern.
"I'm fine." Jiang Lin shook his head, walked to a spot not far from where the woman in green was lying, and started a fire. "It's a bit chaotic outside, and I was caught up in a large Dou Technique during my return. It's nothing serious."
In the cave, Xiao Yan was dressed in a black robe, and Jiang Lin was wearing a grey martial artist robe, although his clothes had some torn holes in them. Fortunately, his body wasn't injured, which showed that Jiang Lin's body was much sturdier than his clothes.
"I found her by the river on my way back. I had no choice. I couldn't just leave her to die." Xiao Yan explained how he found the woman in green, not asking Jiang Lin if his actions might attract any magical beasts, as that would have been a foolish question.
With Jiang Lin's stealth skills in the Beast Mountain Range, unless he intentionally went in front of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, there was no danger.
Swish!
Jiang Lin quickly set up the campfire and then looked at the woman's inner armor, which was covered in blood, feeling speechless.
A Sixth-tier weapon, a Sixth-tier armor—could this woman be the unseen daughter of Old Hu Lei?
"Lin Ge, how is she?" Xiao Yan began taking out more than ten small medicine bottles from his storage ring.
"Eagle Sauce, go stand guard outside." Jiang Lin patted Eagle Sauce's head, and it obediently ran out, disappearing.
Jiang Lin looked down, and saw that Xiao Yan had already placed the medicine bottles in front of him, raising an eyebrow and asking, "What are you doing?"
"Isn't Lin Ge a healer?" Xiao Yan looked at Jiang Lin eagerly. Despite his large frame, Jiang Lin had a healer's background. Unless necessary, Xiao Yan didn't want to get involved with the dangerous woman.
"..." Jiang Lin looked at the bottles and fell silent for a moment. He then glanced at the unconscious woman in green, whose clothes were covered in blood, and said softly, "This still needs to be approved by our senior."
"Mm?" Xiao Yan was taken aback, quickly looking toward the unconscious woman.
She gave a soft hum, her delicate face slightly twitching with pain. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of wariness as she opened them and glanced at Jiang Lin and Xiao Yan, who were standing near the fire. She tried to get up but immediately tugged at her injury. Her face turned pale, and fresh blood bloomed on her green robe.
"You're awake?" Xiao Yan looked at the woman in green with some caution.
Jiang Lin, however, had a strange expression on his face as he stared at the flickering flames in the fire. He spoke lightly, "Senior's meridians and Dou Qi are sealed, and there is a deep wound on her left waist. If it weren't for the inner armor, she might have been torn in half by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King."
"Huh?" Xiao Yan looked at Jiang Lin with disbelief, turning his head to ask, "How do you know without even looking?"
Yao Chen laughed in Xiao Yan's mind, "Spiritual perception, scary, right?"
Jiang Lin didn't pay much attention to Xiao Yan's surprise, and continued, "There are healing medicines here. If she can apply it herself, she can do it herself."
The woman in green heard this and her beautiful eyes scanned Jiang Lin and Xiao Yan. The wariness in her eyes had lessened significantly, and she looked at the two men in the cave with a hint of gratitude.
At the very least, even though they knew about her situation, they still gave her enough respect, which was very precious to her in this moment.
Cough, cough.
The woman in green tried to sit up, but as soon as she moved, she felt a sharp pain, which made her pale face grow even whiter. She couldn't help but cough twice.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan wanted to help, but Jiang Lin silently sat still, looking at the orange glow of the fire, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing Jiang Lin not moving, Xiao Yan stopped halfway and quietly placed the medicine bottle by the woman's side. He said, "Senior, your condition is really bad. But it seems inconvenient for us to remove your armor and apply the medicine. How about you choose someone to help you?"
Xiao Yan, with his quick wit, guessed from Jiang Lin's reaction that the woman before them must have some remarkable background. Unless necessary, he didn't want to bring trouble.
Of course, if the woman insisted on choosing him, Xiao Yan would have no choice but to help.
At the same time, Xiao Yan had to bear with the incessant nagging of the mischievous ghost, Yao Chen, whispering in his ear about whether to act quickly while he was now feeling quite speechless.
The woman in green heard Xiao Yan's words, and her complexion slowly regained some color. Her turquoise eyes glanced at Jiang Lin, who was still lost in thought, and then at Xiao Yan, who seemed a bit eager.
Abu Xiao Yan, weren't you just trying to avoid trouble? Why does it look like you're eager now?
Cough, cough. The woman in green lightly coughed a few more times, then turned her gaze back to Jiang Lin, who was still absentmindedly staring at the fire.
"Lin Ge, stop daydreaming!" Xiao Yan noticed that the woman in green was looking at Jiang Lin, and while he relaxed slightly, he couldn't help but feel a bit of regret. Sigh, after all, it's still Jiang Lin, the "Iron Man," who's popular!
"Huh?" Jiang Lin, reminded by Xiao Yan, snapped out of his thoughts and withdrew his spiritual perception from the woman in green's body. He then looked at Xiao Yan, pretending to be indifferent. "What's up?"
"That senior seems to want you to apply the medicine to her," Xiao Yan said suspiciously, watching Jiang Lin with a hint of amusement. He noticed that Jiang Lin seemed to have some unspoken mischievousness. Yao Chen had already told him in his mind that Jiang Lin had likely used his spiritual perception to sneak a peek, which was why he seemed so absentminded.
Well, well, I treated you as a righteous person, but it turns out you're secretly using spiritual perception for mischief?
I never knew you were this kind of Lin Ge!
"..."
Jiang Lin glanced at Xiao Yan, who was clearly acting eager but pretending to be hesitant, and silently sighed. "You clearly know what you're thinking. Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You said it yourself, I'm from a healer's background. Now you're blaming me?" Jiang Lin shrugged, understanding Xiao Yan's thoughts despite not being able to read his mind.
"Don't say nonsense!" Xiao Yan suddenly exclaimed in surprise!
