Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 41 Cloud Rhyme

The woman's full figure was wrapped in a simple dress, and her long black hair was styled into an elegant phoenix hair ornament that remained intact even when she was unconscious. Her beautiful face was calm and serene, revealing an elegance and nobility that could not be concealed by her simple clothes.

Because of the water flow, the woman was soaked from head to toe. Xiao Jue's hands circled her calves and the back of her head, and he immediately felt her tender and smooth skin, which was as warm as jade. The touch was extremely wonderful.

Holding the woman in his arms, Xiao Jue rushed into the cave and gently placed her on the stone platform. Looking at her beautiful face, a feeling of amazement gradually welled up in his heart. It seemed no exaggeration to describe her with words like "exquisite features" and "fair skin and jade bones."

What amazed Xiao Jue the most was the elegance and nobility she exuded.

His gaze swept over that delicate, pretty face, then slowly moved downwards, his brows furrowing slightly. He saw five terrifying claw marks on her chest below her jade-like neck, the blood staining her clothes crimson.

While unconscious, her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of pain lingered on her cheeks. Although this appearance was somewhat out of character for her, it was still quite touching.

Xiao Jue reached out his hands to unbutton the woman's clothes, but just as his palms were about to touch her body, the woman, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. Her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness and embarrassment as she stared at Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue explained, "I had just entered the Monster Mountain Range when I saw you lying in the river below the waterfall, and I rescued you."

He put down a medicine bottle and slowly backed away. Seeing Xiao Jue retreat, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes, which had been colder when she looked at Xiao Jue, were now less cold. However, when she was about to take action herself, she found that her whole body was numb.

The woman struggled slightly, then slowly closed her eyes. After a moment, she opened them, gritting her teeth and muttering, "Damn it, I actually fell for its sealing technique."

After struggling once more, the woman had no choice but to stop her futile struggle. She turned her head and looked at Xiao Jue beside her with her beautiful eyes. She carefully examined him and, seemingly not finding the rather handsome young man to be any threat, said softly, "You can help me apply the medicine."

Her voice was very pleasant to listen to, but perhaps because of her status, there was always an undeniable air of nobility in it.

"Me?" Xiao Jue blinked and muttered in a low voice, "I can help you, but let's make it clear first, you can't use the fact that I saw your body as an excuse to lay a hand on me afterwards."

Hearing Xiao Jue's words, the woman was both amused and exasperated. She shook her head, but suddenly thought to herself, how many years has it been since anyone dared to say such a thing to her?

"I'm not that old-fashioned. As long as you can control your hands and mouth, I naturally won't repay kindness with enmity," the woman said calmly, softening her voice.

With these words, Xiao Jue slowly walked forward, his gaze sweeping over that beautiful face once more. He reached out and gently tore a section of the woman's clothes open at her chest.

Tearing open the plain white garment, one could see a pale blue metal inner armor underneath. Judging from the flowing light on the inner armor, which resembled ripples in water, it was clearly no ordinary object. On the inner armor, there were five deep claw marks, from which streaks of blood seeped.

Looking at the pale blue inner armor that covered the woman's delicate body, Xiao Jue said, "The wound is under the inner armor. To stop the bleeding and apply medicine, it seems we need to remove the inner armor."

Upon hearing Xiao Jue's words, the woman's body visibly trembled. She took a deep breath and slowly closed her beautiful eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. Her voice, however, was quite calm: "Untie it. Thank you."

Xiao Jue slowly removed her top. As he moved the clothes, his fingers would occasionally touch the woman's skin, and he would feel her body suddenly tense up.

Slowly removing the clothes down to the woman's slender waist, Xiao Jue then blurred the metal buckles of the inner armor and gently unfastened them one by one.

After unbuttoning the last button, Xiao Jue carefully removed the inner armor from the woman's body. However, even though he was being careful, the metal scraped against her wound as the armor came off, causing her to gasp for breath.

After the inner armor was removed, the woman's upper body was almost completely naked in front of Xiao Jue. Her face flushed slightly, and she closed her eyes.

Standing naked from the waist up in front of a strange man, this female powerhouse at the Douhuang level had her snow-white skin gradually flushed with a faint pink, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

"Keep your hands and eyes to yourself!" the woman warned again at this point.

"I need to clean the wound," Xiao Jue reminded him, taking out some clean cotton cloth from his storage ring and pouring out some pale green liquid from a jade bottle, then slowly wiping away the bloodstains near the wound.

From this perspective, Xiao Jue could see two snow-white breasts and a captivating cleavage that would drive any man wild, all completely exposed before his eyes.

As Xiao Jue gently wiped her hair, the woman's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the noble phoenix hair ornament on her head gradually fell off, making her look less elegant and more languid.

Looking at the young man in front of her, who was bowing his head and carefully cleaning his wounds, the woman's eyes showed a hint of gratitude.

After carefully cleaning the wound, Xiao Jue poured some white powder from a jade bottle. Stimulated by the powder, the woman's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she let out a low groan filled with pain.

"Don't worry, it will be fine soon." With a slight smile, Xiao Jue sprinkled the powder evenly on the wound, then took out some cotton cloth for hemostasis and carefully wrapped it up.

However, during the bandaging process, because cotton cloth is wrapped around the wound, there will inevitably be some physical contact.

"Alright, the wounds are treated. The rest are some internal injuries that you'll have to deal with on your own. Also, you'll have to break the seal yourself." Xiao Jue clapped his hands, took a step back, and smiled.

Thank you.

Lying quietly on the stone bed, the woman suddenly smiled at Xiao Jue, a smile that was absolutely stunning.

However, remembering that she was currently naked, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "Could you help me put on a coat?"

"Okay." Xiao Jue took out one of his own clothes from his storage ring and draped it over her shoulders, thinking about the snow-white skin and the wonderful feel of it just now.
