Chapter 418, A Strange Occurrence

Translator: Silavin

 

Qin Yichen took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the fire stirring within his body. After covering her with his robe, he looked away, only to discover a black skeleton beside Lan Xinyu.

 

Wisps of black energy were slowly emanating from these bones. However, they were gradually diminishing until finally, only faint black mists lingered on the surface of the skeleton.

 

Looking at the black skeleton that still emanated formidable energy fluctuations, Qin Yichen could not help but raise his eyebrows.

 

[This skeleton should belong to that skull earlier, right?] Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly, then he waved his hand to store the skeleton in his Space Ring. The skeleton of someone that strong was rare. He might find some uses for it later.

 

“Mmm…” Just as Qin Yichen finished storing the skeleton, he felt the person in front of him move. Looking down, he saw a pair of beautiful eyes wide open, and cheeks flushed as red as fire.

 

As a Heavenly Martial Artist, although Lan Xinyu had been unable to move earlier, she was aware of what had happened. Her body had been completely seen by this strange man!

 

Their gazes met, creating a strange and awkward atmosphere.

 

“You… turn around…” After a while, Lan Xinyu finally spoke. Although she was covered by a robe, several parts of her body still felt cool.

 

“Oh… Okay!” Qin Yichen was startled at first, then suddenly came to his senses. He nodded and turned around.

 

After Qin Yichen turned around, Lan Xinyu bit her lip, and then weakly got up. She took out a set of clothes from her Space Ring and laboriously put them on.

 

*Rustle, rustle!*

 

Hearing the faint sounds of cloth behind him, and smelling the subtle fragrance from her, Qin Yichen’s breathing subtly grew heavier. A warm current seemed to flow through his nose.

 

Any man in this situation would find it difficult to remain perfectly calm!

 

She was, after all, an incredibly beautiful woman. She was now in an extremely vulnerable state and was changing clothes. Such a provocative scene would ignite desire in anyone’s heart. Those with less self-control would have already pounced on her.

 

Perhaps due to feeling weak, it took Lan Xinyu quite a while to change. In fact, the effort made her vision blur and her legs to weaken, causing her delicate body to fall toward Qin Yichen.

 

*Thud!* Qin Yichen was still restraining himself from any inappropriate thoughts when a fragrant breeze blew from behind, and simultaneously, something pressed against his back.

 

With the suppleness touching his body, Qin Yichen almost groaned with pleasure. However, remembering that she was a Heavenly Martial Artist far stronger than him, his body suddenly trembled and he reflexively jumped away as if struck by a hedgehog.

 

[Damn, what a predicament!] However, seeing Lan Xinyu’s pale face, Qin Yichen could not help but sigh in his heart. He put an arm around her slender waist and helped her sit down.

 

Being partially embraced by Qin Yichen made Lan Xinyu embarrassed. She could not help but close her beautiful eyes as she tried to struggle a little.

 

However, this struggle had little effect and only caused her to have more contact with Qin Yichen.

 

A moment later, after struggling once more, Lan Xinyu reluctantly stopped her futile resistance. She turned her blushing face to the side, closed her beautiful eyes, and softly said. “Help me fasten my clothes…”

 

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito, extremely quiet, but to Qin Yichen, it was like a thunderclap!

 

“Me?” Qin Yichen looked at Lan Xinyu somewhat bewilderedly. Seeing her neck turning pink from embarrassment, he really had to resist the urge to bite it.

 

However, taking advantage of someone in distress was not something he could do, especially not to such a beautiful woman!

 

“I can help you fasten your robes, but let’s be clear, you can’t kill me because of my unintentional offense… okay?” Qin Yichen gulped and said somewhat nervously, not forgetting how strong she was.

 

Hearing Qin Yichen’s words, Lan Xinyu did not know whether to laugh or cry. [This bastard has taken advantage of me and is now acting as if he was the one who had suffered a loss!]

 

Finally, under Lan Xinyu’s glaring phoenix eyes, Qin Yichen ‘reluctantly’ withdrew his arm and reached for the buttons on her chest.

 

However, when his gaze fell on those buttons, his movements involuntarily paused, because through the still somewhat open clothing, he could vaguely see a pair of snow-white globes…

 

The blush on Lan Xinyu’s pale face deepened.

 

“Hurry up…” Another barely audible whisper sounded, bringing Qin Yichen’s mind back. He quickly took a deep breath, and with slightly trembling hands, fastened her buttons.

 

“Ahem… Done.” After finishing, Qin Yichen reluctantly withdrew his hands, stepped back twice, and coughed dryly.

 

Looking at this strange man, Lan Xinyu felt a strange emotion in her heart. However, she took a deep breath to suppress these chaotic feelings, then turned her head and said, “Promise me one thing. What happened today, let it rot in your stomach forever, and never speak of it to anyone!”

 

Hearing these somewhat threatening words, Qin Yichen nodded without any hesitation. Although the experience was sensual, he would never use it as something to boast about. After all, he was a married man.

 

“Um… I have some Pills here that might help with your injuries.” Seeing how weak she was, Qin Yichen paused, then took out several Pills from his Space Ring and offered them to her.

 

Lan Xinyu frowned, hesitated briefly, but still accepted them.

 

“These Pills are refined well.” Looking at the rounded, luminous Pills that emitted rich vitality, Lan Xinyu, as a Heavenly Martial Artist, immediately recognised their extraordinary quality. These Pills must have been made by a Master whose skills in Alchemy exceeded her own!

 

[In a place like this, is there really an Alchemist who can surpass me?] She was puzzled.

 

Then, Lan Xinyu parted her cherry lips and put these Pills into her mouth. The Pills dissolved immediately upon contact, transforming into a warm current that flowed through her body.

 

“This…” As soon as she took the Pills, Lan Xinyu’s pretty face flashed with surprise. Then, she quickly sat cross-legged and began using her Cultivation Technique to recover.

 

In just over a quarter of an hour, powerful energy waves faintly emanated from Lan Xinyu’s body. Clearly, her weakened body had recovered by ton.
