"What the..." Lin Meilin couldnt help but raise an eyebrow as she looked at him in silence.

Did this little bastard hit his head a bit too hard, or was he that happy to see her?

"Hey... Are you okay?" Lin Meilin poked his face, but the current Yang Ze was in no position to answer her.

His laughter didn't stop for the next five minutes.

"Haha..."

"Haaah..."

"Haaaa..."

When Yang Ze's laughter finally stopped, the supposed happiness was absent from his face. The only emotion on his face was that of exhaustion.

"....." Lin Meilin looked at him lying there in silence before asking while tilting her head.

"Are you back to your senses?"

Yang Ze didn't reply but simply closed his eyes. At the moment, talking with someone was the last thing on his mind.

"Hey..." How could Lin Meilin let him rest this easily? She gently lifted her soft hand before making a fist, pointing her index finger towards his face and then began to poke his nose with her soft finger.

"..."

"..."

Initially, Yang Ze didn't care about it, but even after a few minutes, when she didn't stop poking his nose, he couldn't help but open his eyes in irritation.

"Can you just stop?" After going through so much, he was in no mood for whatever shenanigans Lin Meilin was trying to pull off.

"Tch!" Lin Meilin merely clicked her tongue in annoyance as she saw Yang Ze closing his eyes, but a smile ran across her face as she once again began to poke his nose.

"Wake up."

"That's it..." Yang Ze finally lost his cool. He immediately wanted to jump and give her a good spanking, but the moment he tried to move his body, an intense pain overwhelmed both his mind and body.

"Hissssss..." Gritting his teeth in pain, it took all his strength to barely suppress his scream as he finally took a good look at his body.

Other than the most obvious injury on his right hand that was almost torn apart, his entire body was covered in bruises and cuts.

And if that wasn't enough, even his head felt surprisingly heavy, as if he hadn't slept in weeks.

"Wha... what the hell happened?" Yang Ze couldn't help but ask with a frown. The last thing he remembered was killing the demonic bird and then using his newly gained talent, Tempest Call.

Initially, he just wanted to see how using both his internal and mental energy simultaneously would affect the attack. But who would have thought that the moment he tried it, he couldn't stop the influx of mental and internal energy escaping from his body.

And after that...

"What happened after that?" Yang Ze had no clue. So, in the end, he could only ask Lin Meilin beside him.

Lin Meilin didn't reply, but looked at him like she was looking at an idiot before shaking her head in response.

"How would I know?"

Poking his nose again, she continued further. "After you ran away, the wolf didn't even pay any attention to me, but instead chased after you."

"Then there was this big explosion, and when I went there, I found you lying unconscious on the ground."

Yang Ze gazed at Lin Meilin deeply. He knew perfectly well that she was lying, but didn't point it out. Although he didn't know why she was here or what she wanted, he was still not willing to blow her cover.

"I see." In the end, he merely nodded in response, but deep in his mind, he already had a doubt whether those demonic beasts were somehow sent by this woman.

It sounded absurd, but Yang Ze had a feeling that it was close to the truth.

Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence that the minute he left the sect, he would meet Lin Meilin? Even the demonic beasts, which were rare to see, attacked him one after another for no reason at all.

Lin Meilin, who was completely unaware of the fact that Yang Ze was already aware of her identity and the fact that she was responsible for the demonic beasts' attack, was still poking his nose.

Even she didn't know why she was doing such an absurd, childish thing, but poking his nose like this was fun.

"Can you please stop?" If not for the fact that he couldn't move his body due to injuries and exhaustion, Yang Ze would have definitely fought back. Unfortunately for him, the current him was at Lin Meilin's mercy.

"Fine." Lin Meilin merely shrugged in response before poking his nose one last time and sitting beside him while adding more wood to the campfire.

Amid the crackling of the firewood and the chirping of insects, Lin Meilin finally asked the question she was dying to ask.

"You know, even from miles away, I saw that cyclone."

"What was that?"

What Yang Ze used was a natural phenomenon. It wasn't something that even the Core Condensation or Soul Tempering realm powerhouses could accomplish. Even those at the Heaven Step wouldn't be able to do something like that.

It was absolute control of the wind.

And the only thing that made sense was the second layer of the Mystic Nether Art. But when she checked Yang Ze before, she didn't find any signs of the first ring in his mind, much less the second step, where one needed to comprehend a natural phenomenon.

"...." Yang Ze didn't know how to answer this question. He couldn't just tell her that it was one of his talent could he? In the future, his collection of talents was only going to get more and more ridiculous.

And he was definitely not going to tell them about his system.

'I have to find a way to explain this.' He didn't think about Lin Meilin, but Cang Yue. After their marriage, she would definitely find out about his increasingly diverse array of talents. In that case, he needed to come up with an excuse that made sense.

But for now...

"What are you going to do next?" Judging by the condition of his body, Yang Ze was sure that it was going to take him more than a week to recover from his injuries, and that was without counting his right hand. God knows how long it was going to take to heal, and whether it could be healed fully or not. He could only pray to find a healing talent.

"Me?" Lin Meilin pointed towards herself before shrugging in response.

"Didn't I tell you that I am going to the Tianxu Trading zone?"

"I see." Yang Ze merely nodded in response. And then, an idea flashed past his mind as his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Didn't you say that you do herbs business?"

"Umm... That's right." Lin Meilin nodded.

"In that case, do you have any herbs that can be used to heal injuries?" Yang Ze asked expectantly, before hurriedly adding further.

"Don't worry about the cost. I have money and can pay you generously."

"...." Lin Meilin's face looked troubled as she sometimes looked at the carriage beside her and then at Yang Ze.

And just when Yang Ze thought she was going to give him a good medicine to heal his wound, she shook her head in response.

"Sorry... No herbs for healing purposes."

Her words were akin to pouring a cold basin of water upon Yang Ze's head. Till now, Yang Ze had been thinking that because of her strength and identity, she definitely had some precious herbs for healing. Even if she didn't care about the money, she would definitely give him one to show some goodwill and strengthen whatever plan she was making.

But who would have thought that he would simply shake her head in refusal?

"Don't overthink." As if sensing that Yang Ze's train of thought was going in the wrong direction, Lin Meilin hurriedly spoke further.

"Healing herbs are the most precious herbs and are extremely rare. Especially, healing herbs that can heal your current state."

Initially, Yang Ze wanted to ask her if she could use her strength to find any healing medicine for him, but in the end, he just gave up. The two of them were strangers. It was impossible for her to help him for no reason at all.

"But..." It was at this moment that Lin Meilin spoke with some hesitation.

"But what?" Yang Ze was growing increasingly anxious. In his current condition, even reaching the Tianxu Trading Zone was a pipe dream, much less evolving the spiritwing and then heading back to the sword sect for marriage.

"But, I have a way..." Lin Meilin's words caught Yang Ze by surprise.

"What is it?" Even in his condition, Yang Ze almost jumped in excitement.

"Its..." Lin Meilin seemed to be hesitating a lot, as if she couldn't decide whether she should tell him or not.

Yang Ze, on the other hand, felt like he was sitting on a hot pan with a fire underneath his buttocks.

"JUST TELL ME."

"I have something that could completely heal your injuries, but it is extremely precious."

Her words hastened Yang Ze's breathing as he tried to move his body towards her, but to no avail. He could only ask with an expectant gaze.

"How much?"

"I am willing to pay you five times the market's price." With the money Xiao Ruolan handed him, Yang Ze was sure that he could afford her medicine at this rate.

But to his shock, Lin Meilin simply shook her head in refusal.

"I don't need your money."

"Huh!?" Yang Ze wanted to scratch his head, but couldn't.

"Then what do you need?"

"I want you to do something for me." Lin Meilin replied in a soft voice. "Don't worry. I won't ask anything that goes against your conscience."

"Just think of it as owing me a favour."

"..." Yang Ze didn't give an immediate answer but thought for a long time before nodding in response. Although he didn't know what she was planning, right now he was willing to take a risk.

"Say it." Lin Meilin, of course, wasn't stupid enough to believe his mere words.

"Take a Heavenly Oath that you will help me when I need you."

Yang Ze gritted his teeth while cursing her for being this paranoid in his heart. In the end, he finally made a heavenly oath.

"I promise you that as long as it isn't against my conscience and is in my power, I will help you once."

"Great." The moment Yang Ze finished his oath, Lin Meilin immediately clapped in response. Whereas Yang Ze felt a 'thump' in his heart along with a realisation that if he dared to break his oath, his outcome wouldn't be pretty.

"Can you give me the healing medicine now?" With a heavenly oath in place, Yang Ze couldn't help but ask in a painful groan. By now, the overwhelming pain almost made him lose his mind.

"Hmm..." Lin Meilin merely nodded shyly as she slowly walked beside Yang Ze before taking off her robe.

"????" Yang Ze looked at her with a head full of question marks, wondering what she was trying to do.

And before he could think further, he saw Lin Meilin throwing the robe on his face, perfectly covering his head, his eyes and his nose, leaving only his mouth out in the open.

"What the hell?" Yang Ze who was overwhelmed with pain and now the mature fragrance of Lin Meilin's body couldnt help but narrow his eyes. He wanted to raise his hands to take it off his face, but at the moment, he couldn't even move his hands.

In the end, he could only wait helplessly.

Lin Meilin, who was acting all shy and awkward a moment ago, had a calm face as she gazed deeply at the boy underneath her in silence. The previous awkwardness and shyness were all gone... replaced by a blank expression and indifferent eyes.

She gently picked up Yang Ze's head, put it upon her soft thighs, and then, without any hesitation, gently took off the last piece of thin clothing off her upper body, finally revealing the magnificent pair of milky breasts out in the open.

Then... without any hesitation, she slowly bent down, grabbed her right breast with her right hand as she adjusted it slightly to aim her nipple towards Yang Ze's open mouth and then, without any delay, gently pressed down.... Finally placing her right breast and nipple in Yang Ze's mouth as she bit her lips under that veil.
