55: Wound

Holding the exquisite body that was enough to drive countless strong individuals in the entire Gama Empire mad, Mo Yuhan dared not harbor any impure thoughts.

He quickly turned around, stepped on the rocks beneath the water, and exited the cold pond, rapidly returning towards the direction of the cave.

Inside the cave, the moonlight stone's glow remained cool and soft, illuminating the cave walls with shifting shadows.

Mo Yuhan carefully laid Yun Yun flat on his simple 'bed' which was covered with thick animal furs and dry moss.

The cold pond water continuously flowed down her soaking plain white robe, quickly spreading a dark water stain on the animal fur.

She lay quietly, her features picturesque, her skin like ice and bones like jade; her unconscious face, stripped of its usual grace and dignity, appeared exceptionally soft and fragile.

Her long eyelashes covered her eyelids like butterfly wings, casting faint shadows on her pale cheeks.

However, her slightly furrowed brows, the trace of striking blood remaining at the corner of her lips, and the lingering pain between her eyebrows clearly indicated the severity of her injuries.

Most shocking was the area below her jade-like neck, specifically her left chest, covered by her plain white clothing.

Large patches of dark red were rapidly spreading, completely saturating that part of her clothing into a chilling dark red.

The scent of blood, mixed with her unique, faint body fragrance like an empty valley orchid, permeated the cool cave, creating a strange and dangerous atmosphere.

He could not wait any longer.

Mo Yuhan took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the unusual stirring in his heart caused by the close proximity to this peerless beauty, as well as the natural shyness of a young man.

He reached out his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly from nervousness and the coolness inside the cave, and gently touched the frog button on Yun Yun's bodice.

The frog button was made of fine jade, cold to the touch.

He carefully unfastened the first one, then the second...

His movements were as gentle as if he were touching a rare treasure, afraid of startling her awake or worsening her injuries.

As the frog buttons were unfastened one by one, the plain white clothing slipped to both sides, revealing a section of warm, jade-like, snow-white skin and delicate collarbones beneath.

Her skin was flawlessly smooth, like the finest mutton-fat white jade, gleaming with a soft, alluring luster under the cool light of the moonlight stone.

As her clothing slipped to her shoulders, more of her snow-white skin was exposed to the cool air; her rounded shoulders had graceful, beautiful lines, exuding a silent allure.

However, this breathtakingly beautiful sight was mercilessly ruined by what lay beneath and the hideous wound.

A metal inner armor, emitting a faint light blue halo, clung tightly to Yun Yun's graceful body.

It was the Sea Heart Armor, made from a unique metal found within the belly of a sixth-tier sea magical beast, the Three-Tailed Blue Whale.

Its surface resembled flowing water, rippling with deep blue currents, clearly indicating it was no ordinary item.

Its defensive power should have been astonishing, yet at this moment, on this precious inner armor, slightly above the heart on the left chest, were five terrifying claw marks, deep enough to expose bone.

The claw marks had torn through the iridescent surface of the armor, and the metal edges showed a twisted state, as if melted by high temperature and then forcibly ripped apart.

Trickles of fresh blood continuously seeped from the gaps in the claw marks, staining a small patch of snow-white skin beneath the inner armor.

The shape of the claw marks, hideous and massive, was precisely the imprint of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Although the Sea Heart Armor had protected her vital heart from being pierced, the terrifying impact force and the contained Purple Flame Seal power had clearly penetrated the inner armor, severely injuring her internal organs and meridians.

Mo Yuhan's gaze lingered on the five claw marks for a moment, his eyes deepening with solemnity.

He extended a finger and gently touched a shallower part of a claw mark on the edge of the inner armor.

His fingertip felt the coldness of the metal and a strange energy fluctuation, but more so, he felt the astonishing elasticity and softness of the skin beneath the armor.

To treat the wound, he had to remove this inner armor.

He composed himself, carefully reaching his hands behind Yun Yun, fumbling for the clasp of the Sea Heart Armor.

As his hands touched the cold metal clasp, his fingertips inevitably brushed against the smooth, delicate skin of her back beneath the inner armor.

The touch was warm and smooth as jade, like satin, with a breathtaking elasticity, as if possessing magic, causing Mo Yuhan's heart to skip a beat and his breathing to quicken slightly.

With a soft 'click,' the clasp unfastened.

Mo Yuhan held his breath, his hands extremely gently supporting Yun Yun's shoulders, allowing her to turn slightly to the side.

Then, he carefully and slowly removed the heavy and precious Sea Heart Armor from her body.

As the inner armor was peeled away, losing its restraint, that pair of perfectly high, full breasts, which had been tightly bound and suppressed by the inner armor, instantly became like jade rabbits breaking free of their constraints.

With astonishing elasticity and full curves, they trembled slightly, completely exposed to the cool air.

The sight before him instantly left Mo Yuhan's mind blank, his breathing completely halted.

Stripped of the double concealment of the inner armor and clothing, Yun Yun's upper body was almost entirely bare.

The moonlight stone's glow, like the gentlest spotlight, poured unreservedly onto that sacred, snow-white expanse that no one had ever seen.

Her skin, whiter than frost and snow, was so fine that not even the tiniest pores were visible, smooth as the finest porcelain, yet possessing the unique warmth and elasticity of life.

Her peaks rose and fell, full and rounded like meticulously sculpted works of art, outlining the most perfect curves in the world.

The budding tips, like cherry blossoms just opening, in the cool air, due to the pain and coldness of her body, were slightly erect, exuding a youthful yet fatal allure.

The deep cleavage was like a bottomless abyss, drawing all attention to sink into it.

However, this ultimate beauty, enough to make any man's blood surge and mind lose control, was utterly ruined by the five terrifying, bone-deep claw marks on her upper left chest.

The claw marks diagonally cut across the edge of that full, snowy mound, tearing the crystal-clear skin beneath.

The flesh was rolled back, exposing deep red muscle, and along the edges, there were still faint charred traces from the Purple Flame's burning.

Blood continuously seeped from the terrible wound, slowly flowing along that breathtakingly snow-white curve, like cruel bloodstains carved onto flawless jade.

The intense pain made Yun Yun, even in her unconscious state, let out an extremely faint yet heart-wrenching groan of agony.

Her delicate brows furrowed even tighter, and her long eyelashes trembled violently a few times, as if she were enduring immense suffering.

Her snow-white skin, under the influence of severe pain and blood loss, began to develop a sickly, alluring pink hue, like peach blossoms just blooming in March, spreading from her delicate collarbones all the way to her flat lower abdomen.

Her delicate body also began to tremble slightly unconsciously, causing her perfect breasts to gently rise and fall, creating breathtaking waves in the cool light.

With each tremor, more blood seeped from the wound.
