"What are you doing with my underwear?"

"You wouldn't...?"

Just waking up, Liu Ruoyan was initially touched to see the young man still by her side and wanted to say thank you. But when she saw what he was holding in his hand, she became wary and instinctively touched her body.

"Fairy, it's a misunderstanding!"

"I was trying to help stabilize your injuries with medicine, but I accidentally grabbed the wrong thing!"

"It was purely accidental!"

Hastily taking back the other person's private clothing, Chu Qianqiu felt embarrassed and even broke out in a cold sweat.

After confirming repeatedly that her body hadn't been touched, Liu Ruoyan relaxed and stared at Chu Qianqiu with a complex expression.

"Pervert."

She scolded him, but didn't have the intention to take action.

Just now, she checked her injuries and found that the medicine had indeed been applied to her abdomen by the other person.

This added a bit of warmth to her already weakened heart.

Seeing that Liu Ruoyan didn't blame him, Chu Qianqiu regained his usual expression.

He showed the storage ring in his hand and took out a pill, feeding it to Liu Ruoyan's mouth with a sheepish smile.

"Here, be a good girl and open your mouth."

"I'm rewarding you with a pill to help you recover."

Liu Ruoyan: ...

Liu Ruoyan was truly witnessing the shamelessness of this Foundation Building cultivator today.

Not only did this guy secretly search her ring and peek at her undergarments, but he also fed her his own pill, even speaking so righteously.

However, she had already promised him the ring earlier.

So now, thinking about it, it was within reason for this kid to say these things.

But what Liu Ruoyan regretted was that she forgot her clothes were also inside. This guy just took her undergarments like that, making her feel embarrassed. Her face turned slightly red, but she didn't have the courage to ask for them back.

"Are you a physician?"

After swallowing the "Elemental Pill" handed to her by the young man, Liu Ruoyan's complexion improved significantly, and she asked seriously.

Chu Qianqiu nodded, indicating that he wasn't a conventional physician but an alchemist. He carried many prescriptions and could understand the effects of some pills.

The two of them chatted quietly in the cave, getting to know each other and becoming familiar in no time.

Liu Ruoyan learned that both of them had some grievances with the Imperial Axe Sect, so she was no longer wary of the young man.

When she asked about his purpose for coming to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, she was even more surprised, thinking that it was such a coincidence.

"So, you also came to gather herbs on the mountain, just like me."

"But you know more about herbs than I do. If I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have wandered in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range for so long."

Saying this, Liu Ruoyan, who had a delicate body, sat up and her attitude improved greatly compared to her previous coldness. She even became more intimate with the young man.

Chu Qianqiu helped her up with concern, making her lie down again, and then stood up as if he wanted to open the entrance of the cave.

"Fairy Liu, you should lie back down. Your injuries are still recovering and you shouldn't move."

"Alright... but where are you going?"

Seeing that the young man wanted to go out, for some reason, Liu Ruoyan, lying on the bed, felt nervous and afraid.

She was afraid that Chu Qianqiu would just leave her behind and then leave on his own.

Honestly, he had taken good care of her so far. If he really left, she didn't have a strong reason to forcefully keep him.

"Don't worry, I'll be near the entrance of the cave, listening for any movement. I don't plan on doing anything."

"I'll accompany you until your injuries recover."

With a warm smile, Chu Qianqiu said softly.

In the darkness of the night, his face illuminated by the light, brought a sense of peace.

Liu Ruoyan's heartstrings seemed to be plucked.

Although the young man in front of her was weak, only at the Foundation Building stage, for some reason, she always felt very secure when she was by his side.

...

Returning to Liu Ruoyan's side, Chu Qianqiu continued to surround the night lamp and quietly watched the other person.

In order to better conceal their tracks, he even extinguished the lamp before dawn.

In the darkness, neither of them could see each other, they could only rely on instinct to sense each other, not knowing what each other was thinking.

...

To ensure that the people from the Axe Sect had completely given up searching this mountain range where they had stayed, Chu Qianqiu followed this beauty and stayed in the cave for several days and nights.

During these few days, although Liu Ruoyan didn't speak as much as when she had just awakened, she gradually became silent.

However, her eyes were always looking at Chu Qianqiu, until he discovered her peeking and then she shifted her gaze elsewhere.

A few days later, the morning sunlight shone in, and Chu Qianqiu, who was bored, stretched and came to the stone blocking the cave entrance to check, then said with relief,

"It should be safe outside."

"Fairy, your injuries should be almost healed now, right?"

"In that case, let's leave this place."

Repeatedly listening, Chu Qianqiu heard peaceful bird calls from outside and no other noise, and finally came to this conclusion.

He said this because he wanted to use brute force to push the boulder away.

At this moment, Liu Ruoyan was just behind him, quietly watching him, expressionless but with a slight frown.

Perhaps even she didn't realize that at this moment, a faint sense of loss had arisen in her heart.

...

After the two opened the stone cave, the outside world was brightly lit, and the true beauty of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts was revealed.

The place where Chu Qianqiu came to hide turned out to be a flower sea interspersed with weeds and flowers.

The two walked out of the cave and wandered in the flower sea, temporarily captivated by the beautiful scenery, and it took a while for them to come back to their senses.

"Fairy Liu Ruoyan, until we meet again?"

Smiling and bowing to the fairy beside him, Chu Qianqiu felt that he should have accomplished his great task and no longer needed to assist.

Now, with no trace of the Axe Sect's people and Liu Ruoyan's injuries improving, it was only a matter of time before she returned to her own sect and the Axe Sect would naturally not fare well.

What remained was perhaps waiting for the two sects to go to war and have a big battle.

He would develop his family and watch the victory of the Lake Sword Sect, indirectly helping his uncle seek revenge.

Isn't that beautiful?

"Then...aren't you leaving?"

Taking a few steps alone and then looking back, Liu Ruoyan's footsteps were hesitant, but in the end, she turned back.

She asked calmly, trying to conceal her concern, with an indifferent expression.

"Of course I'm not leaving, I haven't finished picking herbs yet."

"I came here to gather herbs, unlike you, being chased by others, why are you in such a hurry?"

Chu Qianqiu had already left alone, not even looking back, just saying from a distance.

Listening to the young man's voice echoing in the forest, Liu Ruoyan hesitated for a while, but in the end, she chose to follow him.

"I'm also here to gather herbs, and I haven't finished either, so why not go together?"

"I can also protect you."

Quickly returning to the young man's side, Liu Ruoyan placed her jade hand on her waist, wanting to draw out her own sword, only to realize that she had already given her sword to someone else.

"What are you doing...I'm more afraid when you follow me."

Chu Qianqiu was embarrassed, thinking that if the people from the Axe Sect hadn't left yet, he would be done for, right?

And just as he was about to say this, a loud shaking sound came from the mountains and forests.

A terrifying bloodthirsty wolf suddenly rushed out from the flower sea in the distance, accompanied by several strong individuals at the Gold Core stage, who had discovered them.

"Sure enough, you haven't died yet, we finally caught you!"
