Just as the six-hundred-pound Wild Boar King was about to crash into her, Yun Qingyao had already lost hope and prepared herself for death. But at that moment, she felt her collar tighten, and then she was lifted off the ground, embraced by someone, and they rolled on the ground twice before coming to a stop.

Bang!

Yun Qingyao watched as the Wild Boar King shattered the dead tree where she had just been standing. With that force, had it hit her, she would have died immediately.

Yun Qingyao’s eyes widened with fear. If she hadn’t been saved, she would have been on her way to meet King Yama.

Now the question arose: who saved her?

Although she felt a familiar sensation from the rescuer, she wasn’t entirely certain who it was; she only knew that they were holding her from behind. Despite the urgency of the moment, the embrace felt embarrassingly intimate. Although she understood the rescuer’s intentions were pure, it was still too embarrassing.

Yun Qingyao blushed.

Fortunately, their intimate posture did not last long, as the Wild Boar King was ready to attack again.

Yun Qingyao felt the person holding her stand up and then help her to her feet.

Yun Qingyao turned her head and was startled to see Lin Fan. Her instincts were right; it was Lin Fan who had saved her!

At that moment, Yun Qingyao’s emotions became extraordinarily complex, an indescribable mix of feelings.

"Let’s get out of here first!"

Lin Fan said seriously and swiftly picked up Yun Qingyao and ran.

Lin Fan was not planning to confront the Wild Boar King head-on but chose to avoid it. Even if he spent the effort to kill the Wild Boar King, it would be of no benefit to him. Moreover, there were more urgent matters at hand, so Lin Fan opted to retreat.

Lin Fan swiftly carried Yun Qingyao and sped away.

However, the Wild Boar King seemed to hold a grudge and didn’t give up, roaring as it frenziedly chased Lin Fan. The herd of young adult wild boars appeared to receive a command and ran down the slope.

A formidable army of wild boars chased Lin Fan.

The Wild Boar King, truly worthy of its title, ran extremely fast, with an astonishing speed and jumping ability.

Carrying someone, Lin Fan found himself struggling to outrun the Wild Boar King.

Quickly scanning his surroundings, Lin Fan spotted a rocky cliff ahead and ran towards it, reaching the base of the cliff. With one hand holding Yun Qingyao and the other gripping the cliff, he began to climb. Several meters above, a protruding rock offered a foothold.

As Lin Fan climbed, the Wild Boar didn’t idle either, charging from behind. Still five to six meters away, the Wild Boar King suddenly leaped into the air—its jumping ability truly was King-level.

The Wild Boar King jumped high, pounced on them in mid-air.

Yun Qingyao, in Lin Fan’s arms, peeked and screamed in fear: "It’s coming!"

Instinctively, Yun Qingyao buried her head in the crook of Lin Fan’s arm, not daring to look.

This was indeed very dangerous. The ferocity of the Wild Boar King even took Lin Fan by surprise. As the Wild Boar King flew towards them, Lin Fan gritted his teeth, sped up his climbing, and with a powerful push from his foot, propelled them onto the large rock.

Almost simultaneously, the Wild Boar King crashed into the cliff where they had just been, narrowly missing them. Had they been a moment slower, they would have been caught by the boar.

The Wild Boar King’s strength was truly formidable.

Luckily, because the cliff was steep, the Wild Boar King fell and couldn’t climb further, leaving Lin Fan and Yun Qingyao temporarily safe.

The Wild Boar King fell below, joined by the herd of young adult boars which also arrived, circling beneath the cliff without leaving.

Lin Fan looked at the scene and bitterly smiled: "Looks like they’re not planning to leave."

Yun Qingyao: "..."

She was also annoyed, wondering how she ended up provoking a herd of wild boars.

Ignoring the wild boars, Lin Fan put Yun Qingyao down, sat on a rock, and took out a silver needle, inserting it into her Dantian.

Once the silver needle was in place, the stabbing pain in her Dantian suddenly eased. Lin Fan then pressed a hand on her lower abdomen, gently massaging for a while.

The action was exceedingly intimate, and Yun Qingyao had never been touched by a man like this before. However, she did not resent it, knowing Lin Fan was helping to heal her. As Lin Fan moved, her Dantian gradually stabilized, and the pain eased completely.

Despite this, the action was so ambiguous that Yun Qingyao’s cheeks involuntarily flushed, and she lowered her head, avoiding Lin Fan’s gaze.

Moments later, Lin Fan stopped and smiled: "Alright, your Dantian is fine now."

Yun Qingyao snorted, looking down coldly: "Why did you save me? You’re the reason I’m like this; shouldn’t you watch me die? If I died, you’d be happy."

Lin Fan perspired, saying: "What are you talking about? Why would I be happy if you died? I don’t want to see you die. I’ve never said I wanted to kill you. I told you, I brought you back to solve the problem. You’re the one who insisted on running away."

Yun Qingyao retorted: "I don’t care, it’s your fault. If you hadn’t sealed my Dantian, I wouldn’t be in this mess!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Lin Fan said: "There’s no need to oppose me on everything. Just say thank you."

Yun Qingyao replied: "Wishful thinking; you’re the cause of my situation. If you ignored me, how could you live with your conscience?"

Lin Fan replied: "So you’re saying that saving you is my duty?"

Yun Qingyao replied: "Isn’t that right? If my cultivation was normal, would I need your help? Would I be in this mess?"

Lin Fan replied: "You’re wrong. You need to analyze the root cause; you provoked me first. I simply took necessary measures. So ultimately, it’s your fault. Since I saved you, you should say thank you, or at least not blame me, right?"

Yun Qingyao raised her head, shot him a glance: "I blame you, so what?"

Lin Fan shook his head: "Originally, not saying thank you was fine, but since you’re so ungrateful, I’ll be serious. If you don’t say thank you, I’ll throw you down to feed the boars."

Yun Qingyao coldly smiled: "I don’t believe you’d throw me down. Didn’t you say you wanted to take me back to the Yun Sect to resolve the issue? Would you really let me die?"

Lin Fan replied: "What, you think you have me figured out? I’ll throw you down to feed the boars. I know where the Yun Sect is now; I don’t need you. Without you, I can still resolve the issue."

With that, Lin Fan truly grabbed Yun Qingyao and acted as if to throw her down.

Below, the wild boars eagerly hoped Lin Fan would toss down the tender-skinned girl.
