Ye Qiu grabbed her collar directly and slowly started to pull it down.
"You… what are you doing!? Mm-ah~" Zhu Ye Qing tried to dodge his movements, but it tugged at her injuries, causing a spasm of pain and a suggestive sound to escape her mouth and nose.
'What am I doing? Why does that sound a bit off?' He gave the girl in front of him a strange look and replied,
"I don't want to ga— *ahem*!"
He cleared his throat twice, secretly thinking, 'That was close, I almost blurted out what I was thinking.'
"You agreed so readily just now, I thought you already knew what I was going to do! It's nothing…"
Ye Qiu became serious, spreading his hands and pointing at her again. "It's just… look at your clothes, they're so tight and you're so dirty. You definitely need to clean up first before applying medicine, right?"
"Clean up!" Her voice suddenly rose. For a moment, she was stunned, her expression constantly shifting: tangled, uncomfortable, shy, angry.
Her body was sticky and indeed very uncomfortable, and she had been crawling on the ground for so long; if the wounds weren't cleaned, they would probably get infected. She understood all of this, but the other person was a man.
Thinking of that scenario, the other person… would cut off her clothes, help her clean her wounds, wipe every spot… A lone man and woman…
"H-uh!"
Thinking of those things, she suddenly felt her breathing hitch, her face flushed, and she gasped for air.
"Have you thought about it?" Ye Qiu had already sat down by the bed. "If you feel embarrassed, I can knock you out."
"No!" She immediately rejected this method. How could she allow that? In that case, wouldn't her body be at his mercy?
"Then what do you want me to do?" Ye Qiu was also a bit impatient. Was he going to save this person or not?
She didn't know if she heard Ye Qiu's question. After a long silence, she seemed to have resigned herself, adjusting her breathing and slowly turning her head away, not wanting to look at Ye Qiu.
"Come on…" Biting her teeth, she uttered the two words with difficulty.
Having received permission, Ye Qiu no longer held back. He picked up the scissors and dagger in his hand, ready to cut her clothes.
When he touched the skin on her neck, a faint pink spread, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
Her voice choked with a sob, and she stubbornly said, "If you try to do anything to me! Even if I die, I won't let you have your way!"
Tears slowly flowed onto the pillow as she closed her eyes, resigned to her fate.
"Pfft… Haha! If I wanted to do anything to you, do you think you'd succeed in killing yourself? You're really cute!" Ye Qiu shook his head, finding the girl in front of him, who was clearly resistant yet tried to act strong, amusing.
She didn't reply, lying there quietly, her face flushed and ears burning.
Ye Qiu stopped teasing her, sat on the edge of the bed, and slowly peeled back her clothes.
"Mm~" Her fists clenched, and she couldn't help but let out a soft groan.
The blood had dried, and the wounds were stuck to her clothes. Even a slight tug on her clothes caused her pain.
Snip, snip, snip. Inside the cave, there was no sound other than the snipping of fabric.
Time seemed to pass very slowly; both of them were in agony.
Looking at the already well-developed scenery in front of him, Ye Qiu was not entirely unmoved; sweat gradually seeped from his forehead.
Zhu Ye Qing, on the other hand, was incredibly nervous; every accidental touch made her heart tremble, and she was already drenched in sweat.
The obstacles to cleaning the wounds had been completely removed. The wiping could now begin.
"I'll wipe your upper body first…"
"Shut up!" Zhu Ye Qing let out a sharp cry of shame and anger, her eyes filled with rage and humiliation.
"Phew! Alright!" Ye Qiu exhaled a breath of stale air, relaxing a little.
He wet the towel in the basin and carefully wiped her, and finally, when he touched the two key areas, Ye Qiu heard a slight sob.
Zhu Ye Qing's shoulders trembled. Feeling the pain in her body, and thinking of the pressure she had been born with in her family, all of it was suffocating her. Now, it was as if she had found an outlet, and she silently began to cry.
Ye Qiu, however, thought she was only crying due to her grievances and shame, so he paused his hand, quickly moved past that area, and turned to clean the wounds below her chest.
The bloodied hole, caused by the rhinoceros horn, had even injured her ribs.
Crack! Her bones made a crisp sound. "Ugh! Ah!" Zhu Ye Qing let out a shriek.
Ye Qiu placed his hand on her ribs, activated his spirit power, and with a bit of technique, her ribs were reset.
He took out a blanket to cover her body, then took out another water bottle. "Drink some water to rehydrate!"
Her face was pale with a hint of redness, her tear-streaked face and disheveled hair made her look incredibly haggard. Her misty eyes swept over him, but she didn't respond.
Since she didn't want it, Ye Qiu couldn't force it on her.
"Then next…" His gaze fell upon her legs, which were clad in stockings, her left calf even looked somewhat twisted.
"You… just do what you need to do!" She forced herself to calm down and said coldly.
Under her gritted teeth expression and heartbroken gaze, the short skirt was slowly pulled down… Preparation complete!
Ye Qiu also quickly wiped her, meticulously, leaving no spot untouched.
Zhu Ye Qing's eyes were a bit hazy, and her lips were almost bitten until they bled.
Everything that she had never allowed anyone to see or touch became a thing of the past today.
He then uncovered the blanket covering her upper body, turned her over, and repeated the previous work.
When everything was done, she looked as if she had just been pulled from the water, completely drenched and blushing.
She was covered in sweat, so Ye Qiu had to wipe her down again. Then he started applying the medicine.
Applying medicine where needed, bandaging where needed.
A complete process from start to finish.
Zhu Ye Qing was exhausted from crying, her eyes swollen and red, staring blankly at the cave ceiling, her thoughts drifting far away. 'At this moment… where is that so-called fiancé? Sister… you've caused me such misery!'
"Heh heh…" She suddenly let out a desolate laugh.
"What's wrong? Is there any wound left unmedicated?" Ye Qiu covered her body with the blanket.
"…" Zhu Ye Qing just looked at him coldly.
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu frowned. Killing intent! He felt killing intent. He lowered his head, and a red light flashed in his eyes.
Fortunately, this killing intent did not last long.
"Aside from my left calf, the rest… Heh heh!" She gave a cold laugh, her voice tinged with coolness. "Haven't you already explored every inch?"
Ye Qiu, who was about to strike, gave a self-deprecating smile. She was just a girl paralyzed on the bed, at his mercy.
Besides, his actions were indeed difficult for the other party to accept.
Although he no longer intended to act, his Sharingan remained activated as he moved to the foot of the bed.
He saw through her broken left leg.
"Fractures and cracks. Will the medicine you brought work?"
"Don't worry, it can even solve the wound on my chest… on my chest, let alone this kind of injury…" Her clear voice could not hide the fluctuations in her heart.
Upon receiving her answer, Ye Qiu gently placed his hand on her, his Mysterious Heaven Skill operating, and spirit power permeating.
"Then you'll have to bear with it!" No sooner had he spoken than, without waiting for her reaction, Ye Qiu began to exert force!
"Ugh! Ah!" A piercing scream, one could imagine the immense pain, her body even twitching slightly, her curses trembling. "You… you scoundrel!"
"Consider it punishment for wanting to kill me just now!" Ignoring her murderous glare, Ye Qiu chuckled, gently applied the ointment, simply bandaged it, and then found a few wooden splints to fix the bone.
