Chapter 25 - Chapter 25, She Should Be in My Arms

"cough!"

Yun Yun's pretty face turned deathly pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

The next moment, instead of retaliating, she lightly touched the ground with her feet and unleashed a speed that even the Amethyst Winged Lion King could not have anticipated. Her figure transformed into several afterimages and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that she could still unleash such speed even after being hit by his two deadly attacks, the Amethyst Winged Lion King roared in anger.

But it quickly realized that even if Yun Yun escaped, she was already under its amethyst seal and couldn't get very far.

"Pass on my order: search for that human woman with all your might, and find her!"

The entire Warcraft Mountain Range was in an uproar.

...

"The battle is over, I have to hurry and rescue them!"

Xu Qi knew he had to prepare as soon as Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King unleashed their killing moves.

Unfortunately, their confrontation ended quickly, and he didn't even have time to find a place.

"We absolutely cannot let that Xiao Yan get there first!"

With this thought in mind, Xu Qi quickly traversed the forest.

Finally, he found Yunyun unconscious and lying in the river in front of a waterfall.

"Found it!"

Xu Qi's face lit up with joy, and he quickly ran over and picked up Yun Yun.

Just then, another figure ran out from the woods opposite.

It was Xiao Yan!

And so, the two stared at each other, momentarily stunned.

Clearly, both sides were surprised.

Xiao Yan never expected to run into this guy in a place like this.

Xu Qi, on the other hand, was surprised to run into Xiao Yan by such a coincidence.

If he had arrived even a minute later, Yun Yun might have been taken away by Xiao Yan.

It's you again!

Although Xiao Yan recognized Yun Yun, whom Xu Qi was holding in his arms, at a glance.

However, compared to a comatose Dou Huang powerhouse, his attention was now more focused on Xu Qi.

After all, Xu Qi was also present when Nalan Yanran went to the Xiao family to annul the engagement.

Moreover, Xiao Yan not only made a three-year agreement with Nalan Yanran, but also harbored resentment towards Xu Qi.

They had already met them back when the herb-gathering team in Qingshan Town was recruiting mercenaries.

At that time, Xiao Yan didn't want to have too much interaction with Xu Qi, so he took the initiative to give up.

I never expected to run into this guy even though we've already come all the way to the depths of the Monster Mountain Range!

"What, are you unhappy to see me?" Xu Qi smiled slightly.

"I didn't expect you to be so persistent. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Xiao Yan now assumes that Xu Qi came to the depths of the Monster Mountain Range by following him.

This idea is completely reasonable and well-founded!

Otherwise, how can we explain that they met once in Qingshan Town and then met again here?

"Whether you're afraid or not is none of my business. All I know is that if the Amethyst Winged Lion King comes after you, you won't be able to escape either," Xu Qi said calmly.

Although Yun Yun has temporarily escaped, under the orders of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, all the magical beasts deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range are now searching for her whereabouts.

Although neither Xu Qi nor Xiao Yan were the targets the Amethyst Winged Lion King was looking for, in the depths of the Monster Mountain Range, any human, regardless of whether they were the Amethyst Winged Lion King's target or not, would inevitably face a lot of trouble.

"Right now, the Amethyst Winged Lion King and those three Dou Wang-level magical beasts are still searching for this woman's whereabouts. Let's hide for now and leave the trouble to them," Yao Lao's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.

"I understand…" Xiao Yan nodded.

Actually, he didn't want to get entangled with Xu Qi here.

He just had a very strange feeling.

It seemed... the woman in Xu Qi's arms should have been in his arms.

Now that he was in Xu Qi's arms, he had a vague feeling that something that belonged to him had been taken away.

Quickly dismissing this absurd idea, Xiao Yan heeded Yao Lao's advice and chose to retreat first.

"You're the one who can't escape. I'd really like to see what it'll be like when the Amethyst Winged Lion King finds you."

Leaving behind a mocking sneer, Xiao Yan changed direction and quickly left.

"Tch." Xu Qi scoffed.

But he still needs to hide when faced with the massive search by Warcraft.

Moreover, Yunyun is currently injured, so we can't delay any longer.

Xu Qi carried Yun Yun and ran in the opposite direction.

He encountered many monsters along the way, but he skillfully dodged most of them.

For those that are truly unavoidable, use swift and decisive methods to instantly kill them, and then leave.

Finally, Xu Qi found a hidden cave and hid inside with Yun Yun.

...

"call!"

After such a long escape, Xu Qi's heart was pounding wildly.

If they are found by the Amethyst Winged Lion King or those three fifth-tier magical beasts, their fate will be dire.

Fortunately, all is well.

After quickly calming his breathing, Xu Qi began to observe Yun Yun's condition.

Because she had been completely soaked by the river, Yun Yun was now completely drenched, her thin clothes clinging tightly to her skin, revealing glimpses of her fair complexion.

Xu Qi swore he absolutely did not peek!

But he couldn't help but scrutinize Yun Yun from head to toe.

First of all, there were those straight and slender jade legs, smooth and beautiful, and they looked and felt very nice to touch.

Upwards, her flat stomach is just right, without an ounce of excess fat.

Her face, which should have been breathtakingly beautiful, was now deathly pale, and her delicate eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, as if she were enduring immense pain.

The pain was naturally due to the injury on her chest—her wet dress clung tightly to her chest, revealing a navy blue metal inner armor underneath, with the neatly arranged scales clearly visible.

Fresh blood was still oozing from the wound from time to time.

If not treated promptly, she could very well be in mortal danger due to excessive blood loss.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi quickly helped her up.

"I'm only doing this to save her, absolutely not to take advantage of her!"

Xu Qi kept telling himself this, but his eyes were uncontrollably fixed on that enormous, imposing object.

Then, he took a deep breath and cleanly and efficiently undressed Yun Yun.

The blue inner armor was revealed.

He took another breath, his fingers lightly touching the inner armor, preparing to open it.

Just then, whether it was because of the intense pain or because she sensed subtle changes in her body, Yun Yun suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.

"Sect Master, you're awake." Xu Qi remained calm, his fingers still extended, but he didn't move them further.

"Xu Qi??"

Yun Yun hadn't quite grasped the situation yet when she saw the handsome face before her, which made her pause in surprise.

"Sect Master, it's me."

"W-What are you doing?!"
