Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Xie Xiaoyi turned around and walked back, grabbing Yun Qianxun and Murong Wei by the waist with one arm each without saying a word.

Caught off guard by his sudden embrace, Yun Qianxun was both surprised and furious. Her body tensed, and she snapped, "Xie Xiaoyi! How dare you! Let go of me!"

Murong Wei's face flushed bright red, and she reached out to push him away: "What...what do you want to do?"

Xie Xiaoyi swallowed the "want" that was on the tip of his tongue, took a step, and leaped down, landing steadily on the deck of the large ship.

He released the two struggling individuals and looked intently at Yun Qianxun:

"Yun Qianxun, although we are on different paths now, our fates are the same."

You are hunted down by the martial arts world, and I am wanted by the entire nation.

"I need to find a safe place to heal your wounds, otherwise your injuries will be difficult to cure, and how will you seek revenge against me?"

Yun Qianxun frowned: "Why did you bring me aboard? What do you want?"

"Of course, it's to heal your wounds so you can kill me!"

"You're being so kind; I bet you have ulterior motives."

Xie Xiaoyi ignored him, looked up at the river, and then swung his right hand out.

Swah——

A sharp sword aura shot out and struck the river surface hard.

"boom--"

The water splashed up, and a powerful recoil propelled the large ship like an arrow, speeding down the Canglan River and instantly moving away from the shore.

A lone boat cuts through the waves, heading straight for the heart of the river.

Yun Qianxun and Murong Wei exchanged a glance, both stunned by the sword energy he casually unleashed.

Before long, the boat reached a secluded river bend, where Xie Xiaoyi lowered the anchor and the boat came to a steady stop.

"Murong Wei, take good care of your senior sister first," Xie Xiaoyi instructed, before leaping into the air on his sword.

Murong Wei, supporting Yun Qianxun, couldn't help but look up: "Xie Xiaoyi, what...what are you going to do?"

"The ship would be a good place to live and heal Yun Qianxun, but who would use the bedding and clothes on board?"

Murong Wei was taken aback, her cheeks flushed, and she immediately shook her head.

Those are the boatmen's old and dirty structures, they're used year-round. You could kill her and she still wouldn't build them.

But the thought of having him prepare her own bedding filled her with panic and confusion, and her ears burned.

"I...I don't need your help..."

Xie Xiaoyi looked at her, her body tense with fear and embarrassment, and smiled lightly:

"You don't need my help? What part of your body haven't I touched? Now you're acting like we're strangers?"

Murong Wei's face instantly flushed red, and she bit her lip, shouting, "Xie Xiaoyi, you are despicable and shameless!"

Yun Qianxun was even more furious and was about to scold him when a flash of sword light appeared, and he had already disappeared into the distance.

Xie Xiaoyi flew along the river on his sword, reciting leisurely: "I roam freely between heaven and earth, letting the grudges and affections of women drift away with the wind."

Yun Qianxun was taken aback—

Will the grudges and feuds of beautiful women simply fade away with the wind?

He makes it sound so easy, but some wounds last a lifetime...

Before long, the sword light returned through the air, and Xie Xiaoyi landed on the deck with large and small bags on his back, casually tossing them in front of Murong Wei.

"Your bedding, clothes, and medicine are all here. Pack them yourself."

Murong Wei helped Yun Qianxun into the cabin, chose two adjacent clean cabins, and unpacked the bundle that Xie Xiaoyi had brought back.

Upon closer inspection, the clothes were made of soft and clean fabric, and were actually made of high-quality brocade and fine cotton. Two of them were purple.

Does he remember that I like purple clothes?

Murong Wei felt a pang of sadness, but she still carefully helped Yun Qianxun remove her blood-stained old clothes, put on new inner and outer garments, and applied medicine to her wounds.

Yun Qianxun was in great pain from her injuries, but she gritted her teeth and remained silent, only staring coldly at the cabin door.

Murong Wei changed into a purple dress, and just as she finished getting ready, there was a knock on the door outside the cabin.

"Have you changed your clothes?" Xie Xiaoyi's voice came through the door, sounding somewhat nonchalant.

Yun Qianxun immediately tensed up and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Murong Wei also tensed up, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly: "You...you don't come in!"

Xie Xiaoyi chuckled and said calmly, "I'm not going in, so you guys come out?"

Yun Qianxun's meridians were damaged and her internal injuries were severe after being struck by Yan Li's sword energy. She needs my help!

"I don't need your fake kindness!" Yun Qianxun retorted sharply. "I can heal my own wounds!"

Xie Xiaoyi chuckled: "Your cultivation at the Profound Realm was obtained by refining other people's souls."

Your internal energy is mixed and impure; you can't even protect your own meridians, how can you possibly heal yourself!

"You—" Yun Qianxun's chest heaved with anger, yet she was powerless to refute him.

Murong Wei also became anxious: "Don't force my senior sister!"

Xie Xiaoyi sighed through the wooden door: "I just don't want her to die from her own wounds before she even has a chance to take revenge on me."

That's right, my senior sister's internal injuries must be healed as soon as possible.

Murong Wei bit her lip, then got up and walked towards the wooden door, saying softly, "Then... then come in."

"Junior sister, don't open the door!" Yun Qianxun whispered, stopping her. "I don't want to accept his kindness!"

Murong Wei, worried about her injuries, had already reached out and opened the cabin door.

Xie Xiaoyi walked in slowly, his gaze falling on Yun Qianxun: "Being stubborn won't help. If you want revenge, you'll have to survive first."

Yun Qianxun struggled to get up and pushed him.

Xie Xiaoyi, too lazy to waste words, flicked his finger and sent a gust of wind striking a vital acupoint on her shoulder and neck.

Yun Qianxun froze, unable to move, and glared at Xie Xiaoyi, shouting, "Xie Xiaoyi! You dare to acupuncture my pressure points!"

Xie Xiaoyi ignored her, walked to the bedside, placed his palm directly on her Xinlingtai acupoint on the back of her head, and said in a deep voice, "Bear with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he circulated his internal energy and unleashed the Azure Dragon Absorbing Water technique.

A powerful suction force surged from his palm, forcibly drawing, stirring, and pulling away the chaotic Yan Li sword energy within Yun Qianxun's body.

She was trembling with pain, her jaw clenched, but she couldn't make a sound.

In a short while, Xie Xiaoyi withdrew his hand, and a dazzling silver-white sword aura was condensed in his palm, forming a ball of light.

Yun Qianxun felt the chaotic sword energy within her body, which had been tearing her meridians apart, suddenly vanish.

A long-lost feeling of comfort washed over her, leaving her completely exhausted. She slumped against the bed, her chest heaving.

Murong Wei stared at the ball of light in Xie Xiaoyi's palm and couldn't help but ask, "What...what is that in your hand?"

Xie Xiaoyi smiled at her with narrowed eyes: "The sword energy surging wildly within your senior sister's body."

As he spoke, he casually pushed open the window, forced his inner force, and hurled the ball of sword energy fiercely towards the river.

"Bang--!"

The sword energy exploded upon entering the water, creating a wall of water several meters high that lingered for a long time.

Murong Wei was shocked. She had no idea that her senior sister possessed such a violent sword aura. No wonder she had been so weak all the way here.

Xie Xiaoyi effortlessly drew away this malevolent sword energy, demonstrating a level of skill that was truly astonishing.

But he harmed us so much before, and now he's helping us out. I really can't figure out if he's good or bad!

She stammered, "Xie Xiaoyi, are you really Xie Xiaoyi from that dilapidated temple that day?"
