Chapter 29: The Bizarre Yun Yun

--- Chapter 28 ---

ROAR!

"SHOW YOURSELF, HUMANS!"

"WHAT A SHAMELESS CREATURE YOU ARE!!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion screamed throughout the magical beast mountain, shaking the area with its sheer beastly aura and pressure. Yet, no matter how much the 6-rank magical beast tries to provoke him, Baek Ain wouldn't show himself.

Inside the cave behind a loud-running waterfall, Baek Ain hugged Yun Yun with a solemn expression. The furious purple lion is right above their head, but thanks to the scent-cleansing smoke bomb, he couldn't sense them.

Baek Ain's Sixth Sense flared for fifteen minutes until the beast finally left the area. "Fuck me, that was scary." He sighed in relief while looking down at the source of this problem.

He saved her not because she was beautiful.

He saved Yun Yun because her Dou Emperor Realm's strength is needed to gain the Purple Essence Crystal in the Amethyst Winged Lion's Den.

Baek Ain wiped Yun Yun's face with a handkerchief and commented, "You have to pay me back later, Senior Yun."

"Enormously at that."

After checking Yun Yun's injuries, Baek Ain treated her wounds with some pills he had made in the past. He looked at her breastplate and breathed in, grabbing it gently.

[No one will stop you from doing it, you know?] Alicia suddenly teased.

[No one~!]

"Shut up, Alicia. I'm not a pervert like you."

[...]

[Oh, really?]

[Should I list your preferences?]

"Oy!"

[Big ass, Big boob, Thighs, Sweaty-]

"Okay, stop. You win." Baek Ain sighed in defeat and cleaned Yun Yun's body while appreciating it. He was tempted to touch something but shook his head because he had Yafei and Lan Rou.

Even though Baek Ain internally wanted a harem, managing and fulfilling them would be a hell of a headache. He learned not to take advantage of women from his mother, especially when they were defenseless like this.

Baek Ain admitted he had pervert tendencies and became one after doing it many times with Yafei and Lan Rou, but he was no scum.

"Fuu... Stay focused, Ain." He grabbed a clean bandage and wrapped it around Yun Yun's chest, tying the knot on her creamy stomach.

Beak Ain tossed a pillow for Yun Yun's head and decided to clear his mind with meditation. He sat beside Yun Yun and breathed in, using Breathing Skills to absorb the surrounding Dou Qi.

[Breathing +0.1%]

He also didn't forget to activate the weight-increasing bracelets and train his Energy Mastery simultaneously.

Baek Ain cupped his hands and created a small fireball with Pyrokinesis, controlling its heat to make the cave more comfortable. A cold and damp environment would make Yun Yun's condition worse.

Unknown to Baek Ain, he drowned in meditation for hours.

[Wake up, host] Alicia greeted him.

[It's morning already]

[Some of your skills also become stronger]

"You're the only male here. My disciple's knowledge in the medical field is limited, and that hostile woman near you is a skilled assassin who only knows how to kill."

"..." Baek Ain maintained a poker face.

"..." Yun Yun reacted similarly.

An awkward silence occurred in the cave because no one opened their mouths.

"Let's not talk about this matter first." Baek Ain changed the topic.

"We have a common enemy to tackle."

"Very well." Yun Yun nodded in understanding. "We'll continue after defeating the Amethyst Winged Lion."

...

...

Three days later.

Baek Ain has shared his plan with Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, surprising them with his bright mind. And the reason why they had to stay in the hidden waterfall cave was for Yun Yun to recover her strength.

After her last exchange with the Amethyst Winged Lion, Yun Yun used every last bit of her Dou Qi to resist the volcanic purple flame pillar, or else she would get an even worse injury.

Even though Baek Ain acted like he didn't notice it, Yun Yun has been trying to inquire about anything related to him.

His name. His age. Favorite foods, etc.

Yun Yun will curiously yet dully ask some questions about him every fifteen minutes.

Baek Ain would be a bonafide hypocrite if he said he wasn't interested in Yun Yun, but forming a relationship with her will cause problems in the future. Is Mystic Cloud Sect connected to the Hall of Souls in this alternative universe? He didn't know.

"Ain, please have a taste of my soup." Yun Yun brought a bowl of purple-colored water.

Baek Ain looked at this and returned, "I hope you don't poison this."

In the last three days, Baek Ain also discovered just how clueless Yun Yun was in daily chores. She's terrible at cleaning, cooking, and even preparing ingredients.

Yun Yun is the only person who needs a recipe to boil water. Yes, she's that bad.

However, that's what makes her adorable.

'Kuudere, huh?' Baek Ain sipped the soup, feeling his guts rolling. "Try again..."

"Something is wrong again?" Yun Yun walked to the alchemist furnace she had broken two days ago when boiling water. "Maybe I should learn to cook when returning to the sect."

Lan Rou squinted her gray-colored eyes at Yun Yun and commented, "Answer me honestly..."

"You want her, right?"

Cough! Cough!

Baek Ain faked a cough and answered, "Is it that clear on my face?"

"Yup, I can read you like a book."

"We are not close, Rou."

"Hmph, We'll see about that soon."

...

...

Three and a half hours later. The sun finally descended from the sky.

Baek Ain gathered everyone and asked Yun Yun, "Have you recovered your Dou Qi?"

"Mm. Yes, and my body is in its peak condition." Yun Yun responded calmly.

"Then, we shall start the plan."
