After Yun Chu'an saw the two off, he realized that he seemed to have been massaging Dongfang Yue's anus for too long. He quickly pulled his fingers out, washed them with water, and then came to his senses. He reached out to help her pull up her pants and re-fasten the belt. Although her clothes were still quite disheveled, at least her private parts were no longer exposed.
Dongfang Yue was still silently shedding tears. Even though her clothes had been restored, what he had seen was what he had seen. Her innocent body had been exposed, and everything was irreversible.
She was immersed in heartache and sorrow, but without realizing it, the excruciating pain of being poisoned had disappeared, and she could breathe heavily again.
The numbness in her hands and feet was gradually disappearing, and her body felt warm and cozy, as if she were taking a warm bath.
Clearly, most of the poison has been neutralized, and she should be fully recovered in a little while.
Chapter 233 Clearing My Name!
Yun Chuan returned to Hua Caiyan's side, helped her get dressed, then helped her sit down. He then sat cross-legged with his back to the sun, placed his hands on her back, and silently chanted incantations to circulate his energy and heal her injuries.
The circulation of spiritual energy within her body accelerated, and thanks to the detoxification pills produced by the Qingyun Sect, the last trace of toxins in her body was removed. Now, apart from being somewhat weak and needing to recuperate, she is not much different from normal.
After doing all this, Yun Chuan returned to Dongfang Yue's side, took her arm, and helped her sit up cross-legged: "Do you feel better? Can you move now? Sit up, I'll help you circulate your internal energy."
As he spoke, he grabbed her arm and made her sit cross-legged on the ground. Dongfang Yue had regained some strength, but she no longer resisted, maintaining her tear-stained, aggrieved expression as he manipulated her, making her sit up.
Yun Chu'an sat down behind her, placed his hands on her back, closed his eyes, and helped her circulate her internal energy to heal her injuries and regulate her breathing while meditating.
A misty spiritual energy surrounded him. His deliberately cultivated lightning-struck wood physique was pure yang, and combined with the golden crow spirit he absorbed from behind, it was also a powerful yang spiritual energy that was very beneficial to the human body.
At this moment, this spiritual energy was continuously flowing into Dongfang Yue's body, quickly activating the medicinal power and completely eliminating the toxins in her body. In fact, this spiritual energy made her feel warm all over, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her back, carrying her own faint body fragrance, which was refreshing and pleasant.
However, Yun Chuanke was in no mood to enjoy any of this at the moment. He had exhausted himself helping her heal her injuries, leaving him drenched in sweat and panting heavily, clearly under considerable pressure.
Once the entire cycle of energy circulation was complete and he confirmed that the girl was completely fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his hands, and wearily stood up from the ground.
Dongfang Yue slowly stood up from the ground, head bowed, saying nothing. She took out a handkerchief from her storage bag and gently wiped her face. After she was clean, she suddenly reached out—
The sword in the courtyard naturally flew into her hand. The girl turned around abruptly, and the sword's edge was pointed at Yun Chu'an's throat.
Yun Chu'an did not resist, but raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. He then saw that the girl's eyes were red, as if she was about to cry again.
"Do you have any last words?" she asked him, fighting back tears.
Beside her, Hua Caiyan had also regained her strength. She quickly straightened her clothes, stood up, and looked over, her voice anxious: "No, Miss Dongfang, let's talk this out!"
She had long since calmed down; after all, it was just a little bit of embarrassment and annoyance. Now that she found out his method was really effective, she no longer cared.
As for her body, it already belonged to Yun Chu'an, so why would she care about such things anymore?
"How else can we talk this out properly!"
Dongfang Yue immediately lost control of her emotions. Her hand holding the sword trembled, and her voice was filled with sobs: "He ruined my innocence! This scoundrel! What woman in the world could tolerate such a thing?!"
"I must kill him first, and then commit suicide here. I would rather be shattered to pieces than let my body suffer such humiliation!"
She cried and screamed, tears streaming down her face, which had just been wiped clean.
Hua Caiyan stepped forward, supporting her hand holding the sword and grabbing her wrist to prevent her from thrusting forward: "No, it's not that serious, Miss Dongfang. Listen to me, this matter isn't as terrible as it seems. Put down your sword, and we can talk this out..."
Dongfang Yue stubbornly raised her head and looked at Yun Chu'an, refusing to put down her sword no matter what: "My mind is made up, and there is no way I can change it. Say your last words!"
To be precise, she had made up her mind that she could not let this matter pass so easily. Although she was not actually the kind of woman who would die for her chastity, if she let this matter go so easily, wouldn't she seem like a fickle woman?
Her back had never been touched by any man, not even her own mother, let alone herself!
As Yun Chu'an watched the girl cry and make a fuss, even though his heart was pounding with anxiety, he always felt that the girl was just seeking comfort.
“I admit it, I’m incompetent,” he said. “I had no better way to save you and Caiyan together, so I had to resort to this.”
As he spoke, noticing that Dongfang Yue's expression had softened somewhat, he continued, "I didn't have any more antidotes, so this outcome is entirely my own fault."
"I only ask one thing of you, Miss Dongfang. If you can agree, I will have no regrets even if you kill me now."
He said this, but what he said made Hua Caiyan even more anxious: "Oh dear, shut up! Don't say anything, let me talk to you!"
She was completely flustered; concern clouded her judgment, and she couldn't tell that Yun Chu'an was actually trying to comfort Dongfang Yue—after all, the little fox didn't even dare to think about letting him die.
Dongfang Yue said coldly, "Speak!"
"Please help me avenge myself," Yun Chu'an said.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yue sneered: "Of course, after killing you, I will naturally commit suicide to clear my name, and your revenge will be complete."
“I’m not talking about you,” Yun Chu’an said. “Even if I die by your sword, I will not consider you my enemy, Miss Dongfang.”
“I’m talking about those scorpions, the Yellow Python family behind them, and most likely…” He took a deep breath, “the Gongsun family, the mastermind behind all this!”
Dongfang Yue's expression shifted slightly, a subtle change that Yun Chu'an noticed: "He is the one who harmed you, me, and Hua Caiyan; he is our greatest enemy. I am filled with boundless hatred right now, and I wish I could make them pay the price for their actions and their evil deeds."
"It's a pity I no longer have the chance to take revenge myself." He sighed softly, then stared at her. "Miss Dongfang, you are the leader of the righteous path and the successor of the Qingyun Sect. I believe you will sweep away evil and uphold justice."
"So I beg you, I hope you will promise me that after you kill me, you will avenge them and make those who tried to kill me pay the price they deserve!"
He said this, while Hua Caiyan, who was holding Dongfang Yue's arm, stood there blankly.
She didn't quite understand the rhetoric, but she felt there was a lot of knowledge involved.
Will saying this be helpful?
She had been extremely anxious, but now that she had calmed down a bit, she turned her head and glanced at Dongfang Yue out of the corner of her eye. She noticed that although the girl's eyes were still red, her angry expression had softened.
Oh, it's useful.
Hua Caiyan was overjoyed and quickly chimed in, "Yes, it's all because of that despicable Gongsun family. Miss Dongfang, you absolutely mustn't commit suicide, otherwise both the Huangmang family and the Gongsun family will be happy about this for days!"
The thought that her enemies, those villains who harmed her, might be happy about it made Dongfang Yue feel as if she had swallowed a fly.
Looking at Yun Chu'an before her, little of her anger remained.
She immediately sheathed her sword.
Safe.
In an instant, Yun Chu'an and Hua Caiyan both breathed a long sigh of relief, their hearts finally settling back into their stomachs. But Dongfang Yue was still relentless, continuing, "I'm only sparing your life for now, Yun Chu'an, you should take revenge for yourself."
"This doesn't mean I'm letting you off the hook completely. After the Huang Mang family is wiped out and the Gongsun family pays the price they deserve, and after we've avenged our great grudge, I will still come back to finish what I did today and clear my name."
She remained serious, as if this were the most important matter in the world. But looking into her resolute eyes, Yun Chu'an felt quite relieved.
Chapter 234 The Shy Dongfang Yue
Yun Chu'an nodded gently, even suppressing the urge to chuckle, and said to her, "Okay, it's a deal."
Having agreed on the date of their deaths, Dongfang Yue finally stopped mentioning the matter. Yun Chu'an brought chairs from the back so that she and Hua Caiyan could sit down in the living room to slowly regulate their breathing, heal their injuries, and calm their emotions to recover. He then went outside to clean up the mess in the yard.
Even though the three Scorpion Brothers didn't intend to make a big fuss, and they had sneaked up here, the commotion of a Foundation Establishment stage battle was still considerable. Most of the surrounding houses were destroyed by the aftershocks of their battle. If it weren't for the double protection of the Buddhist plaque and the Qingyun Sect banner on his small courtyard, it would probably be a pile of ruins now.
But in general, the other houses are not usually lived in, there isn't much stuff inside, the structure is simple, so they are relatively easy to repair.
Yun Chu'an then chanted incantations, restoring each room to its original state. Inside the room, Hua Caiyan and Dongfang Yue were drinking tea and healing their injuries. At the same time, Dongfang Yue's eyes flickered, as if she had many questions she wanted to ask, but found it difficult to speak.
Hua Caiyan could tell what she was feeling, but she didn't rush to ask and waited for her to speak first.
After waiting for a while, Dongfang Yue finally lowered her head, leaned close to her, and whispered, "I have something to ask you, Caiyan, you... don't laugh at me."
Hua Caiyan thought to herself, "Finally!" Her pretty face was serious as she nodded gently, "Yes, yes, ask away, I promise I won't worry."
Dongfang Yue took a deep breath: "That's right, you and Yun Chu'an, the two of you, aren't you..."
She was gossiping about other people's romantic relationships. The moment she asked the question, Hua Caiyan didn't react; she was the one who blushed first.
This is the girl's instinctive shyness, while at the same time she is also looking forward to it and feeling excited.
Although her words about killing Yun Chu'an were just angry words she couldn't bring herself to say, deep down, how could a virgin like her so easily forget that her body had been seen naked?
It just so happens that Hua Caiyan, who is beside her, seems to have done something that is not in accordance with etiquette. She can ask her what she thinks about this kind of thing.
Hua Caiyan immediately realized that this girl's personality in certain aspects was exactly the same as her senior sister's.
She didn't hide anything and frankly told Dongfang Yue what she had said to Yan Shui that day. The latter was shocked and thought it was a bit absurd, but after careful consideration, she found it quite reasonable.
Yes, do we cultivators really need so many constraints? If our cultivation is boundless, we can do whatever we want. Why use these things to bind ourselves?
She recalled that day when she was troubled by the fact that Yan Shuiyi had given her hair as a gift to Yun Chuan, and was scolded by her senior sister as a result. She felt ashamed.
Senior Sister and Fellow Daoist Hua Caiyan have already figured these things out, but I can't break free from them, it really is...
She looked ashamed, but Hua Caiyan took in the changes in her expression and felt that this might be an opportunity. She pressed her advantage, lowered her voice, and whispered in her ear as if she were a close friend telling her the truth: "If you ask me, you don't need to care too much about this kind of thing."
"Even if he sees it, so what? It won't hurt you, right? Just consider it bad luck that he got a little advantage. Anyway, no one will know. Just pretend it never happened, and that's it, isn't it?"
Dongfang Yue blushed. Yan Shuiyi had said the same thing to her before. She might not have valued Hua Caiyan that much, but she remembered every word Yan Shuiyi had said. So when she heard the same thing now, she suddenly felt that it wasn't so unacceptable after all.
"Then you must keep this a secret for me." She blushed and whispered, "This absolutely cannot be told to anyone, not a single person!"
Hua Caiyan patted her chest and assured everyone, "Don't worry, I, Hua Caiyan, have the most discreet mouth. If I don't want to talk about something, no one can find out!"
Dongfang Yue added, "Then you also have to keep an eye on him for me, so that he doesn't get drunk one day and blurt out something like bragging about it."
Hua Caiyan rolled her eyes at her and said, "What kind of person do you take him for? If he were that kind of person, would I be interested in him?"
Even if we take a step back and assume he is that kind of person, he wouldn't talk nonsense for the sake of his own life, right? He would rather everyone forget about this and never mention it again!
Dongfang Yue also knew that Yun Chu'an was not that kind of person. She had drunk with him before and knew that he would always be cautious and his words were airtight, so that no matter how much you tried to probe him, you could not find any flaws. Therefore, he was definitely not the kind of person who would talk nonsense after drinking a couple of drinks.
However, this matter concerns her innocence, and she cares about it too much, feeling anxious and insecure, so she can't help but worry about it.
After hearing Hua Caiyan's words, she was finally somewhat relieved, but then she remembered that Zhu Yunqing and Ye Jinglan had also witnessed this, and she couldn't help but worry again: "What about your two older sisters..."
Hua Caiyan held her hand, revealing a helpless expression: "Oh, my dear Miss Dongfang, you can rest assured! My eldest sister is a pure martial arts fanatic, and my fourth sister is so busy every day that they don't have time to care about this kind of thing!"
"If Fourth Sister hadn't been so busy lately, those three scorpions wouldn't have been able to get up this mountain, believe it or not? This kind of trivial matter wouldn't even register on their minds, so don't worry about it!"
She said this, deliberately feigning impatience, which finally put Dongfang Yue at ease, and she felt a little ashamed: "After all, being seen by a man, especially in such a private place, I... I... sigh, anyway, I'm very nervous, Sister Caiyan, please understand."
Hua Caiyan smiled and took her hand, saying things like "Of course I understand," and coaxed the girl away, leaving her with no more worries.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The scorpion leader was running away, fleeing for his life. Fear gripped his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe!
Today's events were a nightmare for him. He couldn't imagine what he had encountered. Several Qi Refining stage cultivators, whom he could easily crush, dared to provoke the three brothers by taking advantage of their magic weapons!
This could be explained by the other party's ignorance and arrogance, but in the end, they actually succeeded and both of their own brothers were killed!
Good heavens, a Qi Refining cultivator killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Is there any justice in this world?!
He didn't know, but today's experience felt like he had encountered some kind of ghost story. In any case, he no longer dared to stay on this eerie mountain and only wanted to run away, to run far away and never come back!
Unfortunately, it's too late for him to escape now.
In the sky, a powerful storm descended, and Ye Jinglan's figure, like a bolt of lightning, suddenly fell from the sky, kicking the guy's hand!
"what--!"
Instantly, the scorpion demon let out a miserable scream as she was kicked right through from her back to her chest. And this was only because Ye Jinglan was holding back; otherwise, that kick would have turned the scorpion demon into a pile of minced meat in an instant!
The scorpion leader screamed and rolled on the mountainside, his body covered in venomous blood and mud. Ye Jinglan landed, her face icy cold. She hadn't used her full strength, and hadn't even taken off her silver trench coat, showing how effortlessly she was at work.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with anger. She stepped forward, raised one leg, and stomped her black high-heeled leather boot on the back of the man's head. Her voice was chilling: "Who sent you?"
She was only a little over 1.7 meters tall and quite slender, while the Boss Scorpion's body was comparable to a hippopotamus, dozens of times larger than her.
However, at this moment, the enormous creature was lying on the ground, unable to move at all as she stepped on its head.
Chapter 235 The mastermind behind the scenes
The scorpion leader dared not hide anything. For a demon cultivator like him, his life was more important than loyalty: "It's the Gongsun family! The Gongsun family sent me!"
He lay on the ground, and every time he opened his mouth, he inevitably got mud all over it. But he dared not utter a sound, for fear that if he said anything to displease the woman, she would raise her hand and kill him.
"Why?" Ye Jinglan asked in a deep voice. Scorpion Boss did not dare to be negligent and pieced together what he knew, explaining in detail, "Yun Chu'an, that man, he killed Gongsun Yong and Gongsun Chong! These two were important members of the Gongsun family, so they sent me to take revenge!"
Just then, a wisp of green smoke landed there, and Zhu Yunqing's figure appeared on the ground. Having overheard the scorpion demon's words, the woman frowned, incredulous: "Impossible! Chu An is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, how could he possibly kill Gongsun Chong? That's a Foundation Establishment stage bandit! If you're going to lie, at least make it believable!"
The scorpion leader let out a wail: "Everything I said is true, sir! This was all told to me by the Gongsun family. I don't know anything about the others!"
He wailed and begged for mercy. Ye Jinglan frowned, turned to Zhu Yunqing, and said, "Should we tie him up first? I think we should take him back and ask Chu'an what happened!"
She suggested, and the latter nodded, "I think so too."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and silently chanted a spell.
呲——
A pure white spider silk suddenly shot out from below her wrist, attached itself to the scorpion demon, and bound his body tightly in the blink of an eye.
This is her most proficient spell, "Dragon Binding Rope." Although she is a spider, the web she weaves can only serve as a trap to protect her home and ensnare enemies. To bind enemies in actual combat, one still needs to rely on spells created by humans.
