"And also, Tan Yun, let me tell you, among the saint disciples of the Human Race Star Domain, she ranks at the top."
"But you, kid, are indeed impressive; you managed to get my Ninth Junior Sister to stay on your Tan Ancestor Star."
"If my Ninth Junior Sister didn't have feelings for you, she definitely wouldn't agree to live there."
At this point, Miao Qingqing looked at Tan Yun, who was still in a daze, and said, "Hey, I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
Miao Qingqing's last sentence broke Tan Yun out of his thoughts. He apologetically said, "Sorry, I just remembered something, I didn’t hear what you said."
"Hmph, you're pretty good at pretending," Miao Qingqing shot him a glance. "I was looking for my Ninth Junior Sister, but since she's in seclusion, I'll return to my own seclusion."
"Farewell."
Miao Qingqing soared into the air, suddenly stopping mid-flight to look down at Tan Yun with a serious expression. "Tan Yun, I warn you, if you don't like my Ninth Junior Sister, then don’t provoke her. Otherwise, I won't let you off easily."
Tan Yun nodded speechlessly and casually replied, "Got it, got it."
Then, Miao Qingqing transformed into a beam of light and disappeared at the horizon's edge. Tan Yun shrugged and muttered, "This woman is so inexplicable."
Tan Yun shook his head and then flew back to Tan Ancestor Mountain, entering the pavilion.
"According to the time calculation, Yuxin should be waking up soon."
Tan Yun lightly ascended to the second floor, entering Shangguan Yuxin's room where she was recovering from her injuries.
At this moment, Shangguan Yuxin was dressed in a pure white nightgown, lying quietly on the couch. Her proud figure lifted the smooth fabric, undoubtedly causing a strong visual impact on any man.
Her face remained pale, but her breathing had steadied.
Tan Yun closed his eyes, releasing his divine consciousness. After checking, he found that Shangguan Yuxin was now suitable to enter the Fang Sheng Hall to recover from her injuries.
Recalling how Shangguan Yuxin had fought that masked old man to create an opportunity for him to escape, warm currents surged in Tan Yun's heart.
Tan Yun approached the couch and gently picked up Shangguan Yuxin. Just as he was about to turn around, the fabric around her neck slid down, revealing a patch of skin.
In her unconscious state, Shangguan Yuxin felt her body floating. As her long eyelashes fluttered, she opened her eyes.
Her vision gradually cleared, and upon realizing that she was being held in Tan Yun's arms while in disarray, she was first stunned.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
"Wasn't I dying in the forest? Why am I not dead?"
"How did I end up here?"
"Who removed my clothes?"
"Who cleaned the blood off my body and changed me into this nightgown, and... Tan Yun wants to carry me to the couch..."
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yuxin let out a piercing scream, "Tan Yun, you beast!"
"Slap!"
Shangguan Yuxin raised her hand and fiercely slapped Tan Yun's face.
Since Tan Yun was holding Shangguan Yuxin with both hands, and given that her cultivation level was much higher than his, even in her weakened state, that slap was certainly not light!
"Poof!"
Tan Yun spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew backward, crashing hard against the wall before falling to the ground.
When Tan Yun got up from the ground, he felt dizzy, and a fresh bloodied imprint of a delicate hand appeared on his cheek.
After Shangguan Yuxin was freed from Tan Yun's embrace, she swayed unsteadily as she stood near the couch, her body trembling with anger. She pointed at Tan Yun with a finger, tears of grievance streaming down her cheeks.
With teary eyes, she glared at Tan Yun, saying, "Tan Yun, I, Shangguan Yuxin, must have been blind not to see that you are such a beast!"
"Although protecting you was my master's order, it doesn’t change the fact that when that masked old man wanted to kill you, I risked my life to save you; otherwise, you would have been dead by now!"
"But what about you? Wuwu... You touched my body and tried to defile me while I was unconscious..."
