Chapter 216 Healing_1

Xu Ran sat on the cold bed and couldn't help but feel a jolt of spirit.

After all, Gu Yuena was a presence at the God King level, so the things she used were naturally not inferior. Simply by sitting on it, Xu Ran felt his "Cultivation Level" within his body increasing at a much faster rate.

With this rate of cultivation, spending a month in the Aquipeia Forest would allow him to advance at least two levels in his "Cultivation Level", or perhaps even more.

Xu Ran held Gu Yuena's delicate and small feet in his embrace, gently kneading them, striving to help alleviate her pain and remove her injuries as much as possible.

"Hmm." Gu Yuena let out a soft moan, feeling an indescribable tickling sensation coming from the soles of her feet.

After a long period of fruitless contemplation, Gu Yuena had no choice but to wake up from her deep thoughts.

Once she stopped contemplating, the sensation of comfort Xu Ran's massage had brought to her, along with the strange feeling of her small feet being held in his hands, suddenly flooded Gu Yuena's mind and nerves, overwhelming her all at once.

Hearing the suddenly coquettish tone in Gu Yuena's voice, a sense of agitation surged in Xu Ran's heart, and simultaneously, due to his distraction, his fingers pressing on the bottom of Gu Yuena's feet involuntarily applied more force.

"Hiss." Gu Yuena let out a soft cry of pain, but quickly clenched her teeth. She was a bit surprised—how could she, Gu Yuena, make such a sound?

But even if she was strong, she was still a life, still a woman, and naturally, such treatment would evoke an innate sense of difference.

She had been focusing entirely on analyzing Xu Ran's movements, trying to glimpse the mysteries within, so she had sealed off all physical sensations to observe Xu Ran more attentively.

That's why she hadn't felt anything before, not even noticing the slightest strangeness.

But now, with her body suddenly relaxing, a wave of comfort rushed to her heart, causing her delicate body to tremble slightly.

She was somewhat puzzled—why would she feel like this just from healing a wound?

This feeling was like ascending to the heavens, not of this mortal realm...

"Nana, how do you feel now? Has your injury recovered a bit?" Xu Ran, also terrified by his own sudden roughness, looked at Gu Yuena's suddenly changeable complexion and hurriedly inquired, trying to divert her attention.

After all, the person before him was a strong being at the God King level, who could even become a forbidden level power, the Dragon God, if she were to devour the power of the Golden Dragon King in the future.

Even now, though Gu Yuena was slightly desolate, she was still absolutely invincible in the realm of Soul Land.

If Gu Yuena discovered his odd behavior and realized that he had been taking advantage of her, wouldn't she just kill him on the spot?

He might be an Auspicious Beast, representing the luck of the Soul Beast Clan, but without strength, others would not give you respect, and what could you do about it? Moreover, Gu Yuena was not at all affected by his lucky aura.

"The injury has indeed recovered a bit." Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena shifted her focus back to her own body and discovered with surprise that nearly one-twentieth of her Divine Power, belonging to the Five Great Supreme Gods, had been erased.

The Divine Power she herself found difficult to deal with had been easily resolved by Xu Ran.

She became more and more convinced that Xu Ran's kneading actions were perhaps not so simple.

Every move he made probably tapped into the world's most core and quintessential laws.

Otherwise, how could she explain the fact that her injuries recovered so easily with just a casual massage from Xu Ran, yet she couldn't achieve the same effect? Even if she copied Xu Ran's actions to the letter, even if she rubbed her skin raw, it would be utterly impossible for her to replicate the miraculous efficacy of his touch.

"Nana, let's stop the treatment for today. Tomorrow, I will devise a simple and comprehensive treatment plan for you. The main issue is that the Divine Power within you has been entrenched for too long. Even I would have difficulty eliminating it completely in a short period of time."

"Moreover, as my 'Cultivation Level' is relatively weak, I must ensure that I am in the best condition every day to treat you. We cannot rush this process. After I have developed an appropriate treatment course, day by day, I will be able to rid you of your affliction," Xu Ran said earnestly, already thinking about making an escape.

If he completely solved Gu Yuena's problem in just a day or two, how would he continue to see her in the future?

Of course, treatment must happen daily, year by year—that's the only way to go.

Besides, he was concerned that Gu Yuena had already become suspicious of him, so it was better to slip away for now and return tomorrow to gauge her mood. If she appeared normal, he could be a little bolder. If her expression was stern, if she was still suspicious, then he would need to be more reserved…

"Mm, let's leave it at that for today. I'm quite tired too," Gu Yuena nodded gently, her delicate cheeks turning toward Xu Ran. After his series of treatments, her entire body felt so comfortable that she couldn't help feeling a bit drowsy.

"Then should I let you rest and continue the treatment at the same time tomorrow, Nana?"

"Yes, you may leave now." Gu Yuena lay on her side in bed, propping her cheek with her hand. Due to her posture, her exquisite figure became even more apparent before Xu Ran, who couldn't help but swallow.

She was truly enchanting.

Faced with such a peerless beauty, if it weren't for the fact that she was Gu Yuena, and he knew better than to lay a hand on her, otherwise, even if he was in for a beating, Xu Ran would have…

"Oh, by the way, take this Token with you," Gu Yuena said, as she pulled out a silver-white token from her chest, engraved with a giant silver-white dragon. This was clearly Gu Yuena's token.

"As long as you have this token, Di Tian and the others wouldn't dare to mistreat you. Furthermore, this token carries my aura and can block a fatal attack for you. The energy within it can be used three times. However, do not use this token unless you are truly in a critical situation," Gu Yuena said gravely, handing the token over to Xu Ran.

"Thank you, Nana," Xu Ran replied as he took the token. It still held a trace of warmth and was surrounded by a rich, fragrant scent.

This token seemed to have been taken out from… that place.

After passing the token to Xu Ran, seeing that he kept staring at it, Gu Yuena also realized something was amiss. As the Silver Dragon King, she was used to doing as she pleased and naturally wouldn't be as mindful as human women.

However, Xu Ran only lingered for a moment before turning and leaving without looking back.

He didn't want to expose his lascivious nature in front of Gu Yuena.

In his mind, he had already secretly planned a month's worth of treatment courses for Gu Yuena and countless years of recovery and rehabilitation. If he exposed himself now, he would lose all these future benefits.
