Chapter 61: Treatment, Nalan Yanran's Intentions

The death of Jia Lie Bi dealt a devastating blow to the Jia Lie family, seriously undermining their position as one of the three major families in Wu Tan City. Seizing the opportunity, the Xiao Family and the Ao Ba family decisively took advantage of the situation, jointly dividing the Jia Lie family's assets. In the process, they publicly killed Jia Lie Bi's second son, Jia Lie Ao, and expelled the remaining members of the family from Wu Tan City.

As the instigator, Yun Tianming did not take all this to heart. In his opinion, Jia Lie Bi and his group are just experience packages used to improve their actual combat capabilities. So the question is, who will remember the experience package?

In the woods somewhere on the outskirts of Wutan City.

A naked girl sat cross-legged under the tree. The girl's clothes were hung on the branches. Five sharp darts were deeply embedded in her smooth jade back. The wounds were dark purple, obviously containing toxins.

"Yanran, be patient, I'll pull them out now"

Yun Tianming used his palm to suck out the darts from Nalan Yanran's back one by one, while also sucking out the poisonous blood from the wounds.

"Humph~"

Nalan Yanran clenched her teeth, trying hard not to cry out in pain, and let out a low moan between her breaths.

...

"This is the collection of a Dou Grandmaster?"

Yun Tianming took out an elixir from Jia Lie Bi's ring.

Third Grade Pill: Water Clear Pill, with the effect of detoxification.

"Enhance!"

[Enhancement successful!]

[Third Grade Pill: Water Clear Pill, enhanced to Fourth Grade Pill: Ice Clear Pill]

Possessing strong detoxification effects, it also has a therapeutic effect on external injuries by promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

"Swallow the pill and activate your Qi Method to adjust."

Yun Tianming fed the Ice Clear Pill into Nalan Yanran's mouth.

Honestly, using a Fourth Grade Pill to treat injuries of this level is a bit extravagant. However, since the pill was acquired through looting, there's no regret in wasting it.

"Exhale~"

Nalan Yanran's originally pale face showed a slight improvement in color. Her weary hands reluctantly formed a cultivation seal, attempting to activate her Qi Method to assimilate the medicinal power of the pill. However, due to the earlier challenge against a Dou Master, her Dou Qi was heavily depleted, making it difficult to operate her Qi Method for the time being.

"No need to force it. Let me help you with the healing."

Upon seeing the situation, Yun Tianming immediately activated the Healing Chapter of the Nourishing Divine Wood. His hands pressed against Nalan Yanran's back, continuously infusing her with the vital and life-filled wood attribute Dou Qi.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Nalan Yanran coughed up several mouthfuls of blood in succession, but each time, the black color in the blood would diminish until it turned into a normal crimson hue. As the toxins were completely purged from her body, Nalan Yanran's complexion returned to a healthy state. She couldn't help but express astonishment, saying, "Senior Tianming, your wood attribute Qi Method is incredibly powerful. It feels even more formidable than the sect's Black Rank High-level Qi Method!"

'Be more confident and eliminate the phrase "it feels like."

A Black Rank High-level Qi Method is incomparable to an Earth Rank Low-level Qi Method!'

"It's not bad, after all, it's a Qi Method that Sect Master went through great efforts to find for me."

Yun Tianming retracted his palm and then, using his ten fingers, swiftly pressed various acupuncture points on Nalan Yanran's back.

"Hmm~"

Nalan Yanran only felt a cool stream of air entering her back. The muscle strain caused by the intense battle was now well alleviated. She softly said, "Senior Tianming, thank you."

"This time we fought side by side."

"With a 9-Star Dou Practitioner facing a 4-Star Dou Master head-on, it was because of Yanran buying time that we achieved the ultimate victory."

Yun Tianming praised her.

"No! Senior Tianming, defeating a 3-Star Dou Grandmaster with a 1-Star Dou Master is truly admirable!"

Nalan Yanran's eyes sparkled. Almost every girl on the Dou Qi Continent harbors fantasies of admiring heroes. Yun Tianming's gallant figure, defeating enemies beyond his level, fueled the girls' romantic dreams.

"Hehe~ Just a stroke of luck."

Yun Tianming chuckled dismissively. For him, killing a 3-Star Dou Grandmaster wasn't overly difficult. If he really went all out, with his Late Mortal Realm Soul Power, he could instantly kill Jia Lie Bi by using his Soul Technique.

Considering that the Soul Technique is currently his strongest trump card, Yun Tianming decided to keep this move hidden and not use it easily unless absolutely necessary. After all, the so-called trump card should be used to take the enemy by surprise and win, and abusing it carelessly would risk exposing the secret.

Of course, the main reason is that Yun Tianming wants to take this opportunity to properly train his practical combat ability. The current results are quite good – the Qi Method operates more smoothly, and the use of Dou Techniques has become more adept.

"Senior Tianming, you are really too modest!"

Nalan Yanran squeezed his hand, sensing a faint increase in the contained power, and a delighted expression involuntarily appeared on her face.

"Indeed, practical combat is the best way to enhance strength!"

"I feel significant fluctuations in the Dou Qi within my body. It seems there are signs of breaking through the Dou Master bottleneck."

Yun Tianming's Soul Perception confirmed this. He thought that Nalan Yanran's current strength is considerably higher than in the original work. With this, facing the three-year agreement, the chances of success have increased.

Perhaps out of a sense of "loving both the house and its crow," and fueled by the competitive spirit shared among time travelers, Yun Tianming did not want to see Nalan Yanran lose to Xiao Yan!

"The basic healing is complete; all that's needed now is a week of rest for a full recovery."

Yun Tianming concluded his treatment, casually taking off the clothes hanging on the tree branches and covering the girl's delicate body.

"Oh~"

Nalan Yanran made a shy whimper, tightly gripping the garment with both hands. It was as if she had just realized the revealing state she was in a moment ago.

"Now you're feeling shy? Your reaction time seems a bit too long, don't you think?" Yun Tianming teased with a smirk.

"Senior Tianming, even though I know you did this for healing, Yanran is still a girl after all."

"Treating me like this, you'll have to take responsibility, aiyah!"

Nalan Yanran's expression became shy, and her voice, initially soft, grew even more timid.

"What are you mumbling about over there?"

!

Yun Tianming delivered a chop to the back of the other person's head.

"I..."

"No, it's nothing."

Nalan Yanran opened her mouth, but her reserved nature prevented her from repeating what she had just said.

That's right.

Yun Tianming wasn't a confused male protagonist from a light novel. Naturally, he knew about Nalan Yanran's unspoken feelings.

Being liked by someone is indeed a joyful thing, but he simply regarded Nalan Yanran as a girl next door, without any special thoughts.

Personally, he preferred mature and beautiful older sisters over inexperienced and naive younger sisters.

As the saying goes, when young, one doesn't appreciate a good auntie and mistakes a girl for a treasure.

Yun Yun is the real MVP!

"It's getting late; let's go home."

Thinking of the peerlessly beautiful woman in his heart, Yun Tianming's mind raced.

"Yes! Let's go home!"

Nalan Yanran smiled, her heart silently saying: "Back to our home."
