Conquer the other worlds with abandon, they've fallen in love with me!

Once outside the town, there were rows of wheat fields on both sides of the road, the wheat ears already yellow and drooping heavily.

The wind blows from the fields, carrying the scent of ripe crops.

Lin Yu rode his horse along the dirt road, the sunlight shining from behind, casting a long shadow on the ground in front of him.

The mare walked steadily, her hooves making a rhythmic clattering sound on the dirt road.

Lin Yu loosened the reins and let it go on its own.

A forest appeared ahead, sunlight filtering through the leaves and scattering golden spots on the ground.

The mare automatically slowed down, as if enjoying the coolness under the shade of the tree.

Lin Yu reached out and touched its neck; the mane was thick and smooth, and felt very nice to the touch.

"From now on, I'll call you Jasmine," he said.

The mare flicked her tail and turned her ears back, as if in response.

Lin Yu smiled, spurred the horse on, and Jasmine quickened her pace, galloping towards Holm Village.

After riding for a few minutes, a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes by the roadside.

Lin Yu turned his head to look over.

A hand emerged from among the branches and leaves, its fingers stained with blood and its fingernails filled with mud.

Then, with his other hand, he gripped the branch, as if he had used all his strength to keep himself from falling.

A woman fell out of the bushes.

Her clothes were mostly torn, revealing large patches of her wheat-colored skin.

His body was covered in wounds, with bloody streaks crisscrossing his arms, legs, and waist, some of which were still oozing blood.

The original color of the clothes was no longer recognizable; they were completely smeared with blood and mud.

Lin Yu stopped the horse, flipped over, and jumped off.

The woman lay on the grass by the roadside, her hair disheveled, silvery-white, and covered with fallen leaves and mud.

His shoulders were shaking, and his breathing was heavy, like a drowning person who had just been pulled ashore.

Lin Yu squatted down and turned her over.

Her face was revealed, with delicate features and healthy wheat-colored skin that glowed with a honey-like luster in the sunlight.

My lips are chapped and there are dried bloodstains at the corners of my mouth.

The clothes at the chest were torn in a large hole, revealing a dark bra underneath and a patch of skin covered in blood.

There was a deep wound on his side, the skin and flesh were turned inside out, and dark red muscle could be seen inside.

She opened her eyes.

His eyes were dark brown, and his pupils dilated for a moment before slowly focusing on Lin Yu's face.

His lips moved, but the voice that came out was so hoarse it was almost inaudible: "Help...help me..."

Lin Yu unscrewed a bottle of healing potion, lifted the back of her head, and slowly poured the liquid into her mouth.

The woman choked slightly, but instinctively swallowed, her throat bobbing up and down, some of the medicine spilling from the corner of her mouth and running down her chin and neck.

After about ten seconds, her complexion improved and her body stopped hurting.

Lin Yu took out another bottle, this time for external use, and dripped it onto her still bleeding wounds after unscrewing the cap.

The moment the medicine touched the skin, the edges of the wound began to heal, and the newly formed pink skin contracted from the edges towards the center.

She took a breath, her voice clearer than before: "Th...thank you..."

"Don't speak," Lin Yu said calmly.

I also took the opportunity to treat all her more serious wounds.

She sat up against the tree trunk, looked down at her healing wounds, and then looked up at Lin Yu.

The fear in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by the relief of surviving a disaster.

"My name is Holly."

She said, her voice still weak: "It was... a slave trader who came from the north. He was attacked by a pack of gray wolves on the way. His horse was killed... and his guards were also killed."

Lin Yu nodded, glanced at the not-yet-fully-healed wound on Holly's calf, and handed her a bottle of potion.

"I've treated your more serious injuries, but some of the ones that haven't been treated haven't fully healed yet."

Just apply it yourself, then you don't need to do anything else; it'll be fine in no time.

Holly took the potion, unscrewed the cap, and bent down to apply it to her calves.

She applied the ointment to her knees and thighs, her movements quite nimble.

But when she applied it to her lower back, her hand couldn't reach it.

The wound was in the lower back area. She tried twice, lying on her side, but her fingers could only touch the edge of the wound, not the middle.

She bit her lip and looked up at Lin Yu:

"Could...could you please apply it for me? I...I can't reach it myself."

Lin Yu took the potion bottle and squatted down beside her.

Her waist was very thin, and her skin was very smooth. Although it was stained with blood and mud, the original texture of the skin underneath could still be seen.

Lin Yu poured the medicine onto the wound in her lower back and gently spread it with his fingers.

Holly's body tensed for a moment when her fingertips touched her skin, but she quickly relaxed.

Lin Yu pushed the medicine evenly onto the wound from the side of his lower back.

Her skin was very hot, probably because she had been running intensely after the injury.

The curves along the waist flow smoothly from the ribs to the hip bones, tapering in and then expanding out.

Holly kept her head down and didn't say anything, her eyes fixed on her knees, her heart pounding.

She didn't have time to think about these things when she was being chased by the wolves.

Run, run for your life, roll down the hillside, scramble and crawl into the bushes, with only one thought in your mind—to survive.

Now that she was safe and her injuries had been treated, she belatedly realized what she looked like.

The clothes were tattered beyond recognition, and the fabric at the chest was torn open by a tree branch, revealing the bulge that was covered by a dark-colored bra.

Several strands of the lace trim on the bra were torn, and a small patch of skin peeked out from the broken seam, gleaming with a honey-colored sheen in the sunlight.

She instinctively tried to block it with her arm, but then felt the gesture was too deliberate, so she slowly lowered it.

Lin Yu's fingers were still on her waist, Holly's breath hitched, and she didn't dare to look up.

She secretly glanced at Lin Yu out of the corner of her eye.

He was young, with deep facial features and little expression in his eyes. He was focused on the wound on her waist, as if he were doing something very ordinary.

After applying the potion, Lin Yu withdrew his hand and wiped the potion off on a nearby blade of grass.

Then he looked Holly up and down.

Holly's clothes were tattered beyond recognition; the left sleeve was completely gone, revealing a bare arm.

The neckline was ripped down to below the chest, and there was a large tear on the side of the waist, revealing a small section of the flat stomach.

Lin Yu took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

"Put them on. It's not far from Wind Chime Town, just a ten-minute walk."

Holly clutched the collar of her coat to cover her body, completely concealing her exposed skin beneath the oversized coat.

The coat still carried Lin Yu's body heat and his scent—clean, crisp, and with a faint fragrance of magic potion.

"Sir..." she called out to Lin Yu.

"What...what's your name? Where do you live? I will definitely repay you and give you a generous reward."

"Lin Yu, Holm Village." Lin Yu mounted his horse and pulled on the reins: "No need to thank me, it was nothing."

"But--"

"Don't worry about it. It's fate that we met. Be careful on your journey."

Lin Yu spurred the horse, and it started moving.

Holly stood by the roadside, watching his figure grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared around the bend in the dirt road.

She gripped the collar of her coat, her nails digging into the fabric.

Lin Yu, she silently repeated the name in her heart.
