Gu Yuena was so frightened that her body trembled, and the double pain of her injured legs felt like a tearing sensation.
She took a sharp intake of breath in pain, her body curling up, truly resembling a cooked shrimp in Lin Yi's arms at that moment.
"I... My chest should be fine, it's just that, just... I just kicked that god and overexerted myself, so my heartbeat quickened, that's all!"
This excuse could stuff a whale.
Lin Yi chuckled silently in his heart and said nothing more.
He carried Gu Yuena into the room, where the door closed automatically, and spiritual power radiated from his body to seal off the entire room.
From the outside, one couldn't hear the sounds inside, see what was happening, nor could anyone else's spiritual power penetrate it; and with the System's enhancement, Divine Sense also couldn't permeate this room.
This was truly a world for just the two of them... In other words, even if Gu Yuena screamed her lungs out, nobody would notice.
Lin Yi had Gu Yuena sit on the edge of the bed, lifting her legs onto a chair.
He started to lift up the hem of her skirt, but Gu Yuena subconsciously pressed down with her hand, her cheeks flushing red.
Lin Yi looked at her as if she were daft, "Don't want your legs anymore?"
"It's... it's you lifting too much. This much is enough."
After Gu Yuena finished speaking, she pursed her lips and looked away, feeling that the temperature on her cheeks at that moment could scald the Extreme North sisters to death.
What on earth is happening to me?
During the day, I was so bold and confident that I would take down Lin Yi, but now that night has come, I can't let go...
It must be because this guy is too bad, bullying me every day, so I hate him.
That's definitely it!
Lin Yi placed his palm, emitting a rainbow radiance, over the wounds on Gu Yuena's legs, the System's inherent healing function... it must be said, this System was truly like a treasure chest.
Lin Yi seriously suspected that the rewards it dropped were peeled from itself.
My system, you're the real saint! I'm just a mere actor.
Wherever the rainbow light passed, the wounds on Gu Yuena's legs completely healed, and Lin Yi then moved his hand to her severely bent ankle, which, in the blink of an eye, returned to normal as well.
Gu Yuena wasn't surprised, as it wasn't strange to her that Lin Yi possessed such powerful abilities.
"Why did you save me?"
As Lin Yi used the same method to heal her other leg without looking up, he said, "It's only natural for a boyfriend to protect his girlfriend."
Gu Yuena's legs suddenly trembled, and in pain, she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes looking at Lin Yi in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe those words had come from his mouth.
A moment later, she put her hands down, bit her red lips, and couldn't help but smile, her grin radiant; it seemed that without anyone else around, she would happily roll around on the bed.
After the legs were back to normal, Lin Yi took a never-before-used towel and placed it in an empty basin. A flash of light filled the basin, quickly brimmed with water.
Lin Yi brought it over, soaked the towel, and began to wipe the dust off Gu Yuena's legs.
Gu Yuena's face became slightly red, and she delicately watched the scene as the light in the room seemed to fill with warmth.
She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you suddenly so gentle?"
Lin Yi's voice was void of emotion, "I'm just fulfilling the reward... It's what a boyfriend should do."
Psh... Gu Yuena pouted, playfully swinging her legs resting on the chair; "Smack!" Lin Yi unceremoniously slapped her on the thigh, causing her to cry out in pain, and then her mouth turned down, and she settled down.
Helping her wipe her legs wasn't just to fulfill a reward... Lin Yi looked bemused, it was just his subconscious action, something a gentleman should do for a girl.
He was not an indifferent person by nature... it was just the persona that compelled him to come off as cold.
Hmph, whatever, what's done is done, and all explanations belong to me alone.
Lin Yi chuckled softly in his heart and placed the towel into the basin without a care.
Those beautiful legs had returned to their original appearance, fair and delicate, slender and symmetrical. Gu Yuena gradually curled up her legs, placing her feet on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees with her arms, her gaze dodging and fleeting.
"Stepping on my bed with shoes on? How dare you?"
Lin Yi said coldly.
Gu Yuena immediately put her legs down in a panic!
After calming down for a moment, she seemed to feel she was being too cowardly and retorted aggressively, "So if I take off my shoes, I can step on it, right?!"
She immediately took off her shoes and hugged her legs, her delicate and white feet once again stepping on the edge of the bed, and she even tilted her chin upward, her unique eyes wide open, trying to use her expressions and behavior to assert her status.
Today, she was the girlfriend!
A girlfriend in the true sense of the word!
Not that Silver Dragon King who lost her dignity, her status, and was eternally below Lin Yi by a billion!
Lin Yi didn't care about what Gu Yuena was thinking in her heart; he just thought her feet were really pretty, and looking at them made him crave a lollipop... cough, Lin Yi meant the kind of Alps lollipops sold on Blue Planet.
"It seems you're ready to use your reward. I've played along as needed, what's next? Girlfriend?"
The last three words Lin Yi spoke carried a challenging tone.
Yet, from Lin Yi's face, Gu Yuena saw full reluctance.
Hmph? You dare to be reluctant?
If you dare, I'll tell everyone your reward is no good!
It's trash!
But...
But what comes next? I can't think of it, and I don't dare to think about it; he is Lin Yi after all... Gu Yuena hugged her legs tighter, her feet twisting nervously.
Suddenly, as if steeled by a thought, Gu Yuena made a decision that seemed to be on the edge of Hell.
"I want you to kiss me!"
Seeming to feel she lacked a firm tone after speaking out, Gu Yuena's cheeks flushed crimson, and she quickly added three more words, "Boyfriend!"
Such a pretty face; if it were before, without you having to say a word, your lips would have been swollen... but now, Lin Yi had to be mindful of his status and identity.
But as soon as Gu Yuena finished speaking, she stood up on the bed, hands on her hips, her expression defiant. Lin Yi glared as he watched this little female dragon stamping his bed with squeaks and creaks. Damn it, you dare to stomp on my bed?
Forget it, the feet are pretty; stomp away.
Gu Yuena's throat moved as she took several deep breaths in secret, her tone forceful, "Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not asking you to kiss me because I like you, nor because I... am lecherous or anything. I, Gu Yuena, am never lecherous!"
Lin Yi: "..."
Fine, keep talking; I'm curious to see what other excuses that little mouth can come up with.
Lin Yi folded his arms across his chest and looked up calmly at Gu Yuena, who was standing on the bed.
"I just..."
Gu Yuena's eyes darted wildly as she frantically searched her mind for an excuse, as if her CPU was about to explode.
"I just... just wondered what it feels like to have lips touch!"
Lin Yi said with a numb expression, "Don't your lips touch when you speak? Do you talk with your teeth bared?"
Gu Yuena's face stiffened, and she stomped her foot, "I meant kissing someone else's lips!"
Lin Yi: "Then why don't you kiss Bi Ji?"
