Chapter 178: Chapter 178

"Hold on tight to me."

While Yun Ran was trying hard to recall what happened before she fainted, she suddenly heard that person say this.

Without thinking, she replied, "Impossible."

"Then don’t blame me if you fall."

Instinctively, Yun Ran glanced down; misty clouds floated about, and she couldn’t see the bottom. In her current state, falling would mean certain death...

As she was pondering this, the person suddenly accelerated downward. The rushing wind made it hard to open her eyes, and Yun Ran felt like she could be flung off at any moment.

She clenched her teeth, grabbed his clothes tightly, and buried her head in his chest.

[My life is on the line! Bastard! Taking advantage of others! I’ll get you one day!]

But the wind around her suddenly became much gentler, and Yun Ran even felt no discomfort from the rapid descent.

"We’ve arrived, you can let go now."

The man’s deep voice echoed in her ear, and Yun Ran was taken aback as she turned her head to look at him, a bit incredulous.

[We’re here already? Why didn’t I feel anything when we landed? This bastard’s Qinggong is really something?!]

"Though I’m happy to let you hold on a bit longer, your wound needs to be treated quickly."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ran felt like slapping him and let go of his clothes with a look of disdain.

He didn’t mind and gently placed her down on a patch of grass.

It was then that Yun Ran noticed they were in a valley, surrounded by green mountains, with a flowing stream, lush grass, and birds singing melodiously.

What a beautiful and enchanting place!

As she was admiring the scenery, she suddenly felt a coolness on her leg. Upon checking, she found that he had not only taken off her shoes and socks but was also lifting her skirt.

"Bastard, what are you doing?!"

Yun Ran kicked at him, but in doing so, she tugged at her leg wound and gasped in pain.

He grasped her ankle to stop her from moving rashly and spoke softly, "Lin Wanyue, behave yourself."

Yun Ran’s breath caught, and she stared at him, momentarily forgetting to react.

After a while, she regained her senses, "What did you just say?"

Taking advantage of her distraction, he had already lifted her skirt and rolled up her pant leg to examine the arrow wound on her leg.

The girl’s slender calf was straight and snowy white, making the wound appear even more gruesome and terrifying.

Beneath his mask, the man’s brow furrowed deeply, his eyes unreadable.

Yun Ran was too preoccupied to notice this and reached for his mask, "Nangong Mo? Is it you?"

The man suppressed the emotions surging in his eyes and caught her hand, a playful smile tugging at his lips, "Did you miss him?"

Yun Ran frowned and struggled to free her hand, but failing that, she reached out with her other hand to grab his mask.

He flicked his fingers, sending a gust of wind to immobilize her pressure points mid-air.

He then released her hand, sat down on the ground, and gently lifted her injured leg onto his lap. Leaning down, his thin lips pressed onto her wound.

Yun Ran was startled and instinctively tried to pull her leg back, but immobilized as she was, she couldn’t move, "Hey, what are you doing? You’re not allowed to... mm!"

At that moment, she couldn’t tell if it was pain or something else, but Yun Ran felt her heart softly tremble.

He turned his head, spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood, and bent down again to cover the wound.

Yun Ran bit her red lips lightly, enduring the strange sensation, frowning at him without speaking.

She could clearly see that as he sucked out the poisonous blood little by little, the skin around the wound, previously slightly purple, was gradually returning to normal, becoming fair.

The wound also seemed less gruesome and terrifying than it had been before.

After some time, he casually wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth, fetched some stream water, and cleaned her wound. Then, he took out some medicine from his bosom.

He looked up at Yun Ran and offered his hand to her lips, "It will hurt, if you’re afraid, bite this."

Yun Ran snorted lightly, rolling her eyes as she bit down on her lower lip.

[Bastard! Taking advantage of others! Immobilizing me! Without consent! Ignoring my protests! I’ll definitely poison you!]

The man’s slender fingers pinched her delicate chin, and as Yun Ran opened her mouth to curse, he inserted his hand into it.

[Fine! If that’s the way you want it, I’ll bite you to death!]

Yun Ran immediately bit down hard, but the man merely frowned slightly, carefully sprinkling medicinal powder over her wound.

Yun Ran couldn’t help but silently curse the one who shot her and their mastermind.

[If this enmity isn’t avenged, she’s a dog!!]

"Little girl, you really have a fierce bite!"

Yun Ran was jolted back to awareness, realizing there seemed to be a faint taste of blood in her mouth.

She hadn’t meant to bite that hard...

Yun Ran hurriedly let go and indeed saw two rows of teeth marks on the back of his hand, traced with red blood.

"Little girl, are you a dog?"

Yun Ran shot him a chilly glare, "You deserved that!" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel·fire·net

The man curled his lips, laughing softly, "Just because I saw your... wound?"

[Is the focus the wound?]

[It’s the leg! The leg, okay?]

"In a healer’s eyes, there is no gender, only the injured."

Suddenly hearing this, Yun Ran wanted to roll her eyes, "Are you a healer?!"

[I don’t believe you! A word of truth hasn’t come from that bastard’s mouth!]

Yun Ran stared at his mask...

[How can I remove this annoying mask?]

Suddenly, the sound of ripping cloth pulled Yun Ran from her drifting thoughts. Looking down, she saw he had torn her skirt.

"Hey! Bastard, what are you doing again? If you dare to be inappropriate, I’ll tear you apart and scatter your ashes!"

Without lifting his head, he replied while using the torn fabric to bandage her wound:

"Please don’t use your villainous mind to gauge the belly of a gentleman."

[Asshole! Definitely doing it on purpose! Can’t he bandage her wound with something else? Does he have to tear her dress? Clearly trying to create a misunderstanding!]

However, he bandaged her wound seriously, slightly lowering his head, eyes focused on the wound, and his actions were skillful and gentle.

[Such proficient bandaging skills couldn’t have been learned without seven or eight years of practice.]

[Could he really be a healer?]

[No, that split-second feeling when he called her name was definitely Nangong Mo. I’ve got to find a way to take off his mask.]

[If it really is him...]

Yun Ran’s mind wandered, when she suddenly felt a cool breeze on her neck and snapped back to reality.

Discovering he was untying her clothes.

Yun Ran’s breath caught, her expression turned cold, and she quickly said, "Stop! If you dare to act inappropriately, I will definitely kill you!"

She was only guessing and couldn’t confirm his identity, so she naturally couldn’t accept such impudent and disrespectful behavior.

The man immediately stopped but kept his hand on her clothing, saying in a low voice, "The wound on your back needs to be treated promptly, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable."
