Chapter 902: Chapter 902
Yu Feifei never expected Lin Chen to suddenly enter the cave, which inadvertently gave him such a great opportunity to witness such a beautiful scene.
"Stop staring, or I'll dig your eyes out!" Yu Feifei, realizing Lin Chen's roving gaze was fixed in a rather inappropriate location, blushed furiously and scolded him angrily.
Lin Chen swallowed nervously and quickly retracted his gaze, feigning seriousness: "You've misunderstood, miss. You're seriously injured; how could I take advantage of you at such a time? I'm assessing your wounds for treatment."
"Boss, you're totally that kind of person! You were *absolutely* ogling her just now!" mocked Xiao Shuai in Lin Chen's mind.
However, with such a stunner in front of him, Lin Chen didn't bother to respond to Xiao Shuai.
Talking about injuries, Yu Feifei's expression darkened.
"Can you treat my wounds?" Yu Feifei fixed her gaze on Lin Chen and asked.
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Such minor injuries are easy to handle."
"Minor injuries?" Yu Feifei laughed bitterly.
While evading pursuit earlier, Yu Feifei had been stabbed in the shoulder by Fujiwara's sword, and her wound was still bleeding.
She had been relying on her Spiritual Energy to maintain herself, but she knew that with her current state, she wouldn't last much longer.
The injury was severe enough that even the elders of her sect would find it challenging to treat, yet this man was arrogantly calling it a "minor injury."
At this moment, Yu Feifei had no other options and was forced to place all her hopes on Lin Chen.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you!" Yu Feifei finally couldn't hold on anymore and felt her body weaken, about to collapse.
Lin Chen rushed forward to support her.
As his hand made contact with her skin, the sensation was as smooth as jade, causing Lin Chen's heart to flutter slightly.
Lin Chen carefully let Yu Feifei lie in his arms, grasping her hand that was smooth like fine jade. "Hang in there; it'll be over soon."
After assessing Yu Feifei's injury, Lin Chen quickly came up with a treatment plan.
Yu Feifei's wound was deep, and the blade used had a three-edged design, worsening the injury.
The strenuous activity during her escape had further torn the wound. If she hadn't encountered Lin Chen, the injury would have been exceedingly difficult to deal with.
"No luck?" Yu Feifei asked, noticing Lin Chen's frowning expression.
"Of course it's fine! I'm a Divine Doctor — there's no injury I can't cure," Lin Chen replied with a light chuckle.
Lin Chen gently pressed his palm to her wound, and streams of radiant life energy instantly surged from his hand into Yu Feifei's body.
Yu Feifei felt a warm sensation coursing through her, and the sharp pain she had endured vanished without a trace.
In truth, Yu Feifei's wound had been completely healed by Lin Chen's life energy long before, but the exquisite sensation of her skin was so compelling that Lin Chen shamelessly dragged out the treatment for over half an hour.
"Boss, there's a group of Martial Artists from the Blood Clan and the Red Cross Warriors heading toward the cave," Xiao Shuai suddenly warned.
"These bastards! How dare they interrupt my moment!" Lin Chen muttered, furrowing his brow.
Lin Chen withdrew his hand reluctantly. At this point, Yu Feifei was utterly astonished by Lin Chen's medical prowess.
The injury she had sustained would have taken at least half a month to heal even at her sect, yet Lin Chen had treated it in less than an hour — it truly seemed like a miracle.
"Can you move?" Lin Chen asked.
Yu Feifei stood up but immediately collapsed again.
"No, the blade might have been coated with paralytic poison. I can't muster any strength," Yu Feifei said, shaking her head.
At that moment, Yu Feifei glanced at Lin Chen, her heart tensing up. Earlier, his gaze had already been a bit off; now that he knew she couldn't move, would he let his predatory instincts take over and…
Lin Chen waved his hand in front of Yu Feifei's face. "Hey, what are you daydreaming about?"
Yu Feifei's cheeks flushed red. "Nothing."
Lin Chen said, "The Blood Clan and the Red Cross Warriors are closing in. They're less than two kilometers away now. We need to move immediately."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Yu Feifei finally sighed in relief. It seemed she had misunderstood him earlier; he had been wholly focused on her safety.
"But I… I can't move at all!" Yu Feifei said urgently.
Lin Chen frowned. Distracted earlier by Yu Feifei's allure, he had overlooked the presence of poison. While he could clear the toxin, there simply wasn't enough time now.
Xiao Shuai's alarms were blaring — the enemy was now less than a kilometer away from the cave.
"We must leave now. If they trap us inside the cave, it'll be over," Lin Chen said gravely.
Both the Blood Clan and the Red Cross Warriors had sent significant forces, including experts at the Divine Vein level. Clearly, they were deeply interested in the secret of the Flower of Life.
If Lin Chen were alone, he wouldn't be too concerned. Worst case, he could fight, and if that didn't work, he could retreat. But now, with an injured Yu Feifei to protect, his options were limited.
Yu Feifei gazed at Lin Chen and suddenly asked, "We're strangers; why are you helping me so much?"
Lin Chen froze for a moment, then laughed lightly: "Why? Does there have to be a reason? If I *had* to give one… let's just say I've taken a liking to you, okay?"
The pursuers were closing in. Without further ado, Lin Chen scooped Yu Feifei into his arms and hoisted her onto his back, sprinting out of the cave in haste.
As Yu Feifei clung to Lin Chen's back, her face burned like a ripe apple, and her heart thumped wildly like a cluster of panicked rabbits.
Since childhood, she had never been this physically close to any man. Although many boys admired her, they all kept a respectful distance because her beauty intimidated them, making them too timid to approach.
But Lin Chen was different. With his confidence bolstered by his Fame System, he carried himself with ease — as Xiao Shuai often emphasized, he was a man destined to stand at the pinnacle of the world. Naturally, he harbored no inferiority complex.
Yu Feifei, her hands wrapped around Lin Chen's neck, caught the enticing scent of a man up close for the first time, her youthful heart fluttering like a budding flower.
Her body warmed intensely. She thought, if those boys she knew ever learned that she had been carried on a man's back , their eyes would surely pop out of their sockets.
Lin Chen, carrying Yu Feifei, felt the heat of her body through the thin fabric separating them, igniting sparks in his own thoughts.
Suppressing any impure notions, Lin Chen darted through the dense forest with Yu Feifei on his back at breakneck speed.
Though Yu Feifei was light, carrying another person should have slowed him down — but his pace remained unaffected.
Yu Feifei was astounded. Even at her peak condition, she couldn't reach anywhere near Lin Chen's current speed.
