The implications of mental injuries could vary greatly; for example, excessive use of skills leading to this state may only result in minor injuries as this is merely caused by overexertion, which would automatically recover with time and rest. However, some mental injuries were more serious as they were directly linked to a person’s spirit, which often leads to very serious consequences and various complications, such as growing demented, becoming a vegetable, or even brain death…

Han Kexin dared not be careless. She carefully stepped on the cool stream water and supported Xiao Yu to the grassy bank. She stared at his pale face with concern and treated him with all her remaining strength.

“I know my own situation. I’m fine. You really don’t have to worry too much…”

Xiao Yu opened his eyes and met Han Kexin’s gaze, and he couldn’t continue his sentence. Her movements were gentle, and under the moonlight, her bright pink eyes revealed a deep affection, like a wife taking care of her sick husband.

Xiao Yu suddenly felt a bit confused.

Is this really the same person who had dominated the world in her past life, the ruthless and infamous Bloody Queen who was known throughout the continent for her beauty and ruthlessness?

Han Kexin picked up the two balls of light dropped by the Strange Monster. It was easy to encounter danger in the wild at night, so she carried Xiao Yu on her back and followed the stream until they found a relatively safe small cave. Han Kexin killed a bear living inside, left the body outside, and the two of them stayed in the cave temporarily until they recovered before searching for others.

Xiao Yu took out a bottle from his space ring, and the liquid inside emitted a faint glow, illuminating the dark cave.

Xiao Yu drank a few drops and handed the bottle to Han Kexin. “This is the fountain of life’s water, which can speed up your recovery process.”

Han Kexin followed suit and drank a few drops. She felt instantly rejuvenated, and her fatigue disappeared almost instantly. “It’s really amazing!”

Xiao Yu half leaned on a rock, calmed down, and asked, “What’s going on? What happened back in the camp?”

Han Kexin confided in Xiao Yu about the monster attack and expressed her concern, saying, “The situation in the camp may be extremely perilous at the moment. I’m not sure if Xiaowen and the others can make it out safely. Even if they do manage to escape, what about everyone else?”

Xiao Yu’s expression remained stoic, devoid of any signs of joy or sorrow. He closed his eyes and leaned against the boulder, stating, “I have faith in Xiaowen, Fatty, and stone’s ability to protect themselves. There’s no point in worrying, and we can only resign ourselves to fate.”

Han Kexin vigorously shook her head, indicating her reluctance to ponder further. “Let me see what useful things that bird dropped first,” she announced as she untied the first light ball left by the harpy. It contained a magic scroll called “Blowing Rain Blades,” a white medium-grade item capable of summoning a second rank ranged magic skill that could unleash a devastating “Blowing Rain Blades” attack with a range of 50 meters.

Xiao Yu spoke slowly: “Magic skills in scrolls are usually large-scale magic attacks. This scroll is very useful. You don’t have to give it to me, just keep it for yourself.”

Han Kexin stated, “50 square meters, what a huge range of attack. If this was used back at the camp where we got surrounded by monsters, it would have definitely dealt a heavy blow to them.”

Han Kexin put the scroll into her space ring and then unsealed the second light ball. A red, spherical object appeared in her hand, emitting a strange fragrance.

It was called “Succubus Bird Essence.”

Xiao Yu explained, “These are items formed from various emotions or desires of monsters. They are typically only useful in alchemy or refining. Due to the special emotional energy they contain, they are highly unstable. Keep it safe, as it will come in handy in the future.”

Han Kexin found the pink sphere to be warm and comfortable to hold in her hand. Before Xiao Yu could finish speaking, driven by curiosity, she used her finger to poke the essence ball, which felt like white jade. To her surprise, the light poke caused a hole to form in the essence ball, causing it to suddenly expand.

“What happened? I only gave it a light poke!” she exclaimed.

Xiao Yu was shocked and urgently said, “This is the solidified embodiment of emotions, a highly unstable substance. Quickly get rid of it!”

Boom!

He hadn’t finished his explanation when Han Kexin was about to throw the essence out of her hand. However, the succubus bird essence had already expanded to its limit and exploded first, engulfing Han Kexin and Xiao Yu in a pink mist. The process was so quick that they didn’t even have time to react. They both inhaled the gas with a strange fragrance, and a hot feeling instantly erupted from their hearts and spread throughout their bodies.

Xiao Yu opened his eyes wide and said, “It’s actually desire!”

As a lustful bird demon by nature, the combination of emotion and desire made the essence naturally become an embodiment of lust and desire!

“I didn’t mean to break it!” Han Kexin panicked. She felt her body becoming increasingly hot, panting softly as she asked, “What’s going on? Why do I feel dizzy and my body feels so numb?”

Xiao Yu gazed at Han Kexin’s gradually blurred eyes and rushed to cover her mouth and nose, shouting loudly, “Hold your breath!”

Han Kexin’s face flushed; her beautiful eyes, like autumn water, were blurred, and a vague hint of resentment flashed through them. She thought to herself, “He really is made of wood. At a time like this, he still doesn’t realize my feelings?”

As Han Kexin’s eyes grew increasingly hazy, Xiao Yu began to feel a strange sensation in his body. After all, the succubus bird was a first-order monster, and its essence contained its desires and emotions, which were enough to affect any warrior. He didn’t know how long he could control himself. The pink, misty substance wasn’t just inhaled through breathing; it acted like a living thing, actively attaching itself to the body and seeping in through the pores.

“No, we have to get out of here!”

At that moment, Han Kexin embraced Xiao Yu, and her gaze, filled with a faint hint of resentment, locked onto him. He was taken aback for a moment, then felt her soft and alluring lips press against his.

Xiao Yu retained a trace of consciousness and instinctively wanted to push her away. But as he extended his hands, he accidentally touched the two peaks on her chest, which were far too full to be grasped by just one hand. He felt a fire burning uncontrollably within his body.

Han Kexin had completely succumbed to the moment, or perhaps it was her intention all along to do something with Xiao Yu, so she never resisted at any point. Her soft body pressed tightly against him, her long legs wrapped around him like an octopus, and she let out a series of low gasps and moans that made his bones feel weak. In a moment, his clothing were taking off and her lingerie was half off, revealing her flawless and seductive body.

With her last bit of consciousness, Han Kexin whispered softly, “Xiao Yu…”

Xiao Yu’s eyes widened. Even though he was a strong warrior, he was still a man, a young man in his twenties, with a strong and vigorous body.

In the dark and damp cave, the air was filled with a bewildering scent.

In the end, the two young bodies intertwined with each other.

…………

The next morning, the sun rose from the horizon, casting a golden layer of brilliant light over the entire forest. The gentle breeze was very cool.

Inside a small mountain cave, Han Kexin lay on Xiao Yu’s shoulder like a docile kitten, completely naked. Xiao Yu’s hand rested on her smooth back, while his other hand pressed against her plump and round buttocks. At the end of her straight and smooth legs, there was a faint hint of redness. She looked peaceful and satisfied in her sleep, her face flushed with a drunken glow.

Xiao Yu regained consciousness before her, looking at the enchanting and bewitching beauty in his arms before feeling a slight stir in his heart. He never imagined that he would unexpectedly establish this kind of relationship with Han Kexin.

After about half an hour, Han Kexin woke up from her slumber with a gentle stir. As she opened her eyes and locked gazes with Xiao Yu, a hint of shyness flashed across her beautiful face. She lifted her soft arms, hooked them around Xiao Yu’s neck, and twisted her supple body like a snake, offering her two red lips and moving her tongue in a seductive manner, captivating him completely.

“Hmph, why aren’t you talking?” After the hot kiss, Han Kexin held onto Xiao Yu tightly and whispered, “I feel like I’m dead.”

Xiao Yu gently caressed her silky smooth skin and said, “Miss Han…”

Han Kexin looked up, her eyes like rippling spring water revealing a deep sense of resentment. Her charming and enchanting demeanor seemed as if she could melt away completely, body and soul. “Why do you still call me Miss Han?” she asked.

“Okay… Kexin.” Xiao Yu shook his head inwardly, then said with a serious expression, “Although this was an accident, from now on, you are my woman!”

“I was afraid you’d change your mind. From now on, when we’re alone, you must address me like this, or else I’ll be upset with you.” Han Kexin breathed a sigh of relief and had a look of happiness on her face. “Of course, Kexin is willing to be your woman, to be with a strong man like you. From now on, I am yours, and I am so happy. No matter what happens, I will only be with you in this lifetime… You can’t get rid of me.”

Xiao Yu lightly patted her and said, “Alright, put on your clothes, let’s go.”

Han Kexin looked slightly surprised and asked, “Go where?”

Xiao Yu replied, “Because of the spiritual essence we absorbed last night, my mental injury has already healed, and my fighting power has fully recovered.”

“Really? That’s great!” Han Kexin hugged his neck and sat on Xiao Yu’s lap, charmingly throwing a flirtatious look, “So, shall we do it one or two more times?”

Any man who gets his hands on this seductive beauty will probably be unable to resist. However, Xiao Yu resisted the temptation and furrowed his brows, saying, “Stop fooling around, Fatty, Xiaowen, and the others are still in danger. We need to find them.”

Han Kexin’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Jiang Xiaowen’s name.

That’s right, yesterday, due to the influence of the spiritual essence combined with the underlying feelings she had for Xiao Yu, she was only focused on basking and venting her desires, forgetting about everything else.

Jiang Xiaowen also had deep feelings for Xiao Yu, so how could she explain their relationship to her when she returned?

Han Kexin was feeling a bit of a headache. Although she felt guilty for Jiang Xiaowen’s sake, Xiao Yu was someone she would never let go of, no matter what.

Similarly, Han Kexin couldn’t bear to hurt that kind and lovely girl. The only solution was to keep it a secret for now. In any case, with Xiao Yu’s personality, he would never publicly display any intimate behavior towards her. Jiang Xiaowen might not even notice, and they could keep it hidden for as long as possible. At worst, she could even try to matchmake them. In these times, it was quite normal for a powerful man to have multiple women or for a powerful woman to have several men, so someone like Xiao Yu was not unusual in that regard.

“Besides, our intimacy was purely accidental. I didn’t deliberately try to seduce him.”

“Yes, that’s right…”

After comforting herself, Han Kexin’s sense of guilt slightly subsided. She slowly left Xiao Yu’s embrace and stretched out her graceful and charming body, with skin as smooth and delicate as jade, like the most perfect work of art in the world. Her beautiful and stunning face, despite the hardships of the night, added a touch of soft charm to her already alluring demeanor. This queen, who was high above others, now wore a gentle and affectionate gaze.
