Chapter 58 Luo Yue, A Sensual Healing Experience
Chu Han felt something was fishy and spared her life.
Suddenly, a pang of hunger hit him.
He realized he hadn't eaten since he set out this morning, having endured a long journey and several fierce battles.
Repairing his wounds just now had taken a huge toll on his body, so it was only natural for it to start protesting.
He went to the riverside. When he fell off the cliff into the river, he had seen some plump Big White Fish swimming in the water, and he planned to catch a few to eat.
Leaning down, the river water reflected his appearance.
Only then did he realize he was still wearing the Black Crow Organization's black cloak and hadn't removed the white mask from his face; he looked exactly like a member of the Black Crow.
"So that's why!"
Chu Han suddenly understood. That woman must have mistaken him for someone from the Black Crow Organization, which was why she had attacked without hesitation.
He quickly took off the mask and the blood-stained black cloak, revealing his own Combat Suit underneath.
Instantly, the reflection in the water became bright and handsome.
"This is the real me."
Chu Han smiled and jumped into the water once more.
The Explosive Fist boomed underwater, and the resulting shockwave instantly stunned several Big White Fish nearby, causing them to float to the surface belly-up.
Chu Han tossed the fish onto the shore, found some stones to build a simple grill, and began roasting the fish.
While roasting the fish, he took some food out of his storage space to eat along with it, mainly bread, jerky, and drinks.
And, of course, the most important part: the seasonings.
Soon, the Big White Fish were sizzling and dripping with oil, emitting a savory aroma.
When Chu Han sprinkled the seasonings onto the fish, the scent became even more mouth-watering.
"Time to eat!"
Chu Han quickly picked up a grilled fish and started eating, ignoring how hot it was.
After upgrading his talent, his body's heat resistance had increased significantly; the heat from a mere grilled fish couldn't burn him.
The moment the fish entered his mouth, its deliciousness exploded. The meat was tender and smooth, the aroma of the fat was just right, and the spices were the icing on the cake!
"So delicious!" Chu Han couldn't help but praise, devouring half a fish in just a few bites.
Wiping the grease from the corner of his mouth, he thought to himself, "This fish is much better than what's sold outside. I should catch a few more to take back; my parents will definitely love them."
He couldn't keep such a delicacy all to himself.
If he caught some and kept them in his storage space, they would stay fresh.
While Chu Han feasted, the unconscious woman on the other side slowly woke up.
Luo Yue was still a bit dazed when she suddenly smelled an enticing aroma, like grilled fish.
She immediately opened her eyes and looked toward the source of the scent.
She saw a handsome young man eating grilled fish; the tempting aroma was coming from his meal.
"Who is he?"
Luo Yue was taken aback, but then realized from Chu Han's aura that the person before her was the same Black Crow member from earlier.
Although he looked like a decent person now, she remained wary of him.
Just then, her stomach growled; she was also hungry.
As hunger set in, it became harder for her to look away from Chu Han's grilled fish, and she couldn't help but curse her own lack of resolve.
Little did she know, Chu Han had noticed her waking up immediately.
Chu Han's Mental Energy had been monitoring her constantly to prevent any sneak attacks upon her waking.
A smile played on Chu Han's lips as he turned and walked toward Luo Yue with two skewers of grilled fish.
Luo Yue immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious.
Chu Han found it amusing. Coming to Luo Yue's side, he said, "Stop pretending, I know you're awake."
He ate the fish in his left hand while holding the other one to Luo Yue's lips. "This fish tastes great. If you don't eat it, I'm throwing it away."
Luo Yue's throat bobbed involuntarily, and her cheek muscles twitched, but she still didn't open her eyes.
"I'm counting to one and then throwing it! 3, 2, 1." Chu Han made a motion to toss it.
"Give it to me!"
Luo Yue snapped her eyes open and snatched the grilled fish with surprising speed.
She gave Chu Han a wary look before taking small bites, unable to resist the temptation of the food.
She ate somewhat hurriedly, unaware of the grease on the corner of her mouth; she looked like a completely different person from her previous cold and aloof self.
Sitting opposite Luo Yue, Chu Han watched her eat and spoke slowly, "You were also wounded by the Black Crow Leader, weren't you? Who exactly are you?"
Luo Yue paused, looking up at Chu Han with lingering suspicion. "Are you not with the Black Crow Organization?"
"Of course not."
Chu Han shook his head and pointed to the cloak and mask he had tossed aside. "Those were my disguises for infiltrating the Black Crow Organization's cave. I haven't had a chance to change yet."
"I'm a member of the Military Rescue Team. I infiltrated the base to save Professor Chen, but was then chased by the Black Crow Leader and had no choice but to jump off the cliff."
Luo Yue clearly paused when she heard Professor Chen's name, but her brow remained furrowed, obviously still skeptical.
Chu Han laughed. "If I were with the Black Crow Organization, I would have captured you and handed you over to the Black Crow Leader long ago. Why would I let you sit here eating fish? Besides, you're eating the fish I grilled; aren't you afraid I poisoned it?"
Luo Yue fell silent. She realized Chu Han's words were sound and couldn't find a reason to refute them.
"I'll untie you first, but don't attack."
As he spoke, Chu Han cut the vines binding Luo Yue. In truth, the vines couldn't have held her anyway, but they were enough to give Chu Han the upper hand if she had tried to move.
"The black primordial energy in your body is corroding you. You were wounded by the Black Crow Leader, right?" Chu Han asked suddenly.
Luo Yue looked up sharply, her eyes filled with shock. "How do you know?"
"I was also wounded by him, but the black primordial energy in my body is gone. I can help you expel the black primordial energy from yours."
Chu Han smiled. "However, you'll have to undo your Combat Suit. I need to touch the wound to absorb the black primordial energy."
In reality, he could use Mental Energy to locate the exact spot, but that would be very taxing for him.
This woman had attacked him the moment they met; what was wrong with collecting a little 'interest'?
"What did you say?!"
Hearing this, Luo Yue was both ashamed and furious. She swung the grilled fish in her hand to hit Chu Han, but he caught her wrist.
Having fought Chu Han and worsened her injuries, she was extremely weak. Her sudden exertion caused her body to go limp, and she tumbled toward Chu Han.
Chu Han felt a sense of softness and pressure against his chest, along with a faint fragrance and Luo Yue's warm breath.
Chu Han's heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, Luo Yue's face was less than two centimeters from his. Their eyes met, and her face instantly turned bright red.
Chu Han could see the shame and annoyance in her eyes, which only added to her charm.
Chu Han quickly helped Luo Yue steady herself and took a step back.
"That was an accident."
He laughed awkwardly. "I need to see the wound. I'm only asking you to take off your outer layer, not everything. Besides, you don't want the black primordial energy to keep corroding your body, do you?"
Luo Yue bit her lip and remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.
"Don't you dare look where you shouldn't!"
She slowly unzipped her Combat Suit, revealing her fair upper body.
She had an excellent figure, and her assets were impressively ample and deep. Chu Han's gaze was instantly drawn to her.
But quickly, he shifted his gaze to the wound on Luo Yue's chest.
The claw marks were deep enough to show bone, the blood flowing out had turned black, and a faint black mist emanated from it. It was clear the injury was severe.
"It will hurt a bit, bear with it." Chu Han's voice deepened as he slowly reached out his hand.
Luo Yue closed her eyes, looking resigned to her fate.
As Chu Han's hand approached the wound, he immediately felt the familiar black primordial energy enter his body through his hand.
He immediately activated the yuan qi vortex of the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art, rapidly drawing the black primordial energy into his body.
He only stopped absorbing once he felt his body was nearing its limit.
Luo Yue clearly felt a significant amount of the black primordial energy in her body vanish. Opening her eyes, she saw Chu Han performing a strange movement.
She didn't interrupt, simply watching as Chu Han performed a series of odd movements, his teeth gritted as if he were in immense pain.
As these movements were completed, the black primordial energy on Chu Han's body also began to dissipate bit by bit.
To be precise, the black primordial energy had been absorbed by Chu Han, and it even boosted his strength.
Luo Yue was shocked; she hadn't expected Chu Han's movements to have such an effect.
"It seems he is far from simple," Luo Yue thought to herself, a hint of curiosity about Chu Han growing within her.
At this moment, she fully believed Chu Han's words, and her wariness toward him gradually faded.
