120: Chapter 120 Junior Sister, Let Your Senior Brother Heal Your Wounds

"This... this isn't quite right, is it, Senior Brother?"

Su Yun's palm tightly enveloped her jade-like hand. The Ice Snow Palace Master did not pull away, the usual indifference on her face vanished, and a flush quickly surged up.

A series of throbs came from her heart, like a young deer entering the forest for the first time, rushing about wildly.

"What's not right about it?" Su Yun's voice came from behind her shoulder without a single pause.

"Your injuries are heavy right now, and your dao foundation is damaged. What if those bastards from the Heaven Burial Palace pull a hidden maneuver and return?"

"Are you really going to let a crippled man like your Senior Brother protect you?"

These words were logically clear and the arguments were solid.

The Ice Snow Palace Master opened her mouth, but in the end, no sound came out.

Her footsteps followed Su Yun's movement, allowing him to lead her as her body entered the scroll painting.

Inside the map of mountains and rivers.

Stepping inside, the Ice Snow Palace Master was immediately captured by the sight before her eyes.

The sounds of various birds rose and fell, and flowers bloomed all over the hillsides.

The air was filled with dense Spiritual Qi; inhaling it into one's lungs made one feel refreshed and clear-headed.

This place was a world unto its own.

Her gaze froze, and a flash of surprise flickered deep within her pupils.

"Senior Brother, the functions of this Magic Treasure of yours exceed the ordinary."

Her voice was full of praise.

"To actually be able to evolve an entire world inside, with mountains and rivers all within it."

"A spatial treasure of this Rank is rare even in the Upper Realm."

"Naturally." The corners of Su Yun's mouth curled up, the light in his eyes carrying a hint of flamboyance.

"Don't forget who your Senior Brother is."

"Even if a tiger falls to the plains, my vision and family background are things ordinary people can't compare to."

He spoke continuously while his palm kept leading the Ice Snow Palace Master. Without stopping their pace, they arrived before a bamboo hut in the center of the Small World.

Around the bamboo hut, Spiritual Qi formed a visible mist that swirled around the roof ridge.

"Alright, Junior Sister, don't just stand there."

"Go inside quickly, sit down, and circulate your power to heal your injuries."

Su Yun pointed inside the bamboo hut to a bed platform crafted from translucent jade.

Wisps of white mist rose from the surface of the bed platform.

"Mm." The Ice Snow Palace Master gave a slight nod, stepped toward the jade bed, and sat down cross-legged in a dignified posture.

She brought her palms together over her Dantian, adjusting her breathing to prepare for repairing her damaged dao foundation.

However, what made it difficult for her mind to settle was this Senior Brother before her, who was both familiar and strange. She finally couldn't help but ask.

"Senior Brother, these past few years... where exactly did you go? And how have you been living?"

Hearing this, the flamboyant expression on Su Yun's face slightly receded. He let out a sigh, his eyes revealing a perfectly measured hint of world-weariness and exhaustion.

"It's a long story. Back then, I managed to escape by luck, but those bastards from the Heaven Burial Palace searched everywhere for my whereabouts."

"All these years, I've been hiding and living under an assumed name. If not for that, how could I have fallen to such a state?"

As he spoke, he observed his Junior Sister's expression. Seeing the heartache and resentment in her eyes, he shifted the topic, testing the waters with a slight hint of embarrassment.

"Speaking of which... having not seen each other for so long, Junior Sister... I..."

Seeing him hesitate, the Ice Snow Palace Master asked in confusion, "What does Senior Brother want to say?"

Su Yun seemed to have made up his mind and gave a dry cough. "I... I actually find myself unable to recall Junior Sister's true name. It's truly..."

"What?" The Ice Snow Palace Master's beautiful eyes widened, filled with disbelief. "Senior Brother, you... don't remember?"

Seeing her reaction, Su Yun immediately put on an expression of extreme regret. He raised a hand to his forehead and explained with a pained look.

"Sigh, it's all my fault. Back then, I fought a life-and-death battle with a powerhouse from the Heaven Burial Palace. Although I won, it also damaged my Divine Soul. After waking up, many memories became fragmented and blurred, and I only remember some of the most important people and things."

"Your appearance, your aura, the fact that you are my Junior Sister—all of these I remember clearly. But it just so happens... your name is like it's covered by a layer of mist; I just can't recall it no matter what."

This explanation was logical and reasonable, pushing everything onto his 'injuries.'

The Ice Snow Palace Master realized, but a hint of doubt still remained in her heart.

She scrutinized Su Yun carefully, sensing that familiar aura originating from his Origin energy.

Along with the unique pure fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth Supreme Yang Art, this was absolutely her Senior Brother himself without a doubt.

Thinking about how he had to evade pursuit and suffered such heavy injuries, that bit of doubt in her heart instantly vanished, turning instead into deep pity.

The Ice Snow Palace Master's expression softened as she spoke softly.

"So that's how it is... Senior Brother, you've suffered. My name is Luo Bingyan—the 'Bing' from ice and snow, the 'Yan' from countenance. Senior Brother must remember it this time."

"Luo Bingyan..."

Su Yun murmured it to himself, etching the name deep into his heart, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"A good name. Junior Sister Bingyan, I've remembered it."

Having received an affirmative answer, Luo Bingyan's heart settled. Only then did she close her eyes again, preparing to heal.

However, just as she closed her eyes...

Su Yun's figure approached, almost pressing against her cheek.

"Wait."

"Senior Brother?" Luo Bingyan's eyes opened again, her gaze filled with confusion.

"You can't do it like this." Su Yun shook his head gently, his expression solemn.

"What you injured this time was your dao foundation."

"Relying solely on yourself to circulate power for healing, it wouldn't be possible to recover even in three or five years."

"It might even leave behind a permanent ailment."

"Ah? Then... then what should I do?" Hearing this, Luo Bingyan's voice trembled, her eyes showing panic.

She understood her own injuries.

Everything Su Yun said was the truth.

"Don't be afraid."

The corners of Su Yun's mouth curved upward, and the light in his eyes dispelled all the unease in Luo Bingyan's heart.

"Did you forget what your Senior Brother does?"

As he spoke, he slowly extended a palm.

In the center of his palm, a clump of flames rose up.

The flames converged into a sphere, its brilliance restrained, yet it emitted an aura of extreme hardness and supreme yang.

That was the Origin Divine Fire unique to the Heaven and Earth Supreme Yang Art.

"Senior Brother, you are...?"

Luo Bingyan's gaze was fixed on that clump of flames, a sense of familiarity as if their Bloodlines were connected.

An instinctual desire to be nourished surged from her heart. Her Adam's apple moved up and down unconsciously, making a slight swallowing sound.

"Junior Sister, what you Cultivate is the Heaven and Earth Supreme Yin Art; its attribute is extremely cold."

Su Yun began to state his case without changing his expression.

"While I, your Senior Brother, Cultivate the Heaven and Earth Supreme Yang Art; its attribute is fierce and supreme yang."

"Our two Cultivation Techniques, one Yin and one Yang, can complement each other."

"As long as I use the Origin Divine Fire to soothe your Meridians and harmonize Yin and Yang for you..."

"Not only can it allow your injuries to recover in the shortest amount of time..."

"It can even allow your Cultivation to go up another level."

After listening, Luo Bingyan nodded subconsciously.

After all, the two techniques were originally complementary; once combined, it would be much better than healing alone.

In her heart, she felt that what her Senior Brother said was deeply reasonable.

"Then... then I will have to trouble Senior Brother."

The flush on Luo Bingyan's cheeks spread all the way to the tips of her ears.

"Mm." Su Yun nodded, then overlapped his hands and rubbed them back and forth a few times, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"However, Junior Sister Bingyan..."

"This... the process of healing might be a bit... well, unconventional."

"In order for my Origin Divine Fire to enter your body without hindrance and soothe your Meridians..."

"You might need to... remove your clothing."

"Ah?"

Hearing these words, the flush on Luo Bingyan's cheeks instantly became deep. She stood frozen in place, her body stiff.

Re... remove clothes?

This... this...

In all her life up to now, let alone undressing in front of a man, even her body itself was rarely shown to others.

Now her Senior Brother was actually asking her to...

"What? Unwilling?"

Su Yun's gaze fell on Luo Bingyan. Seeing her head lowered and the flush on her cheeks not receding, he couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly and press his lips together.

"Junior Sister, what time is it? How can you still be so obsessed with these formalities?"

"Could it be that in your heart, your body is more important than your dao foundation?"

"Acting like this will make your Senior Brother feel frustrated."

Luo Bingyan heard a hint of disappointment in Su Yun's tone and immediately panicked. That bit of concern and hesitation in her chest disintegrated.

Indeed.

Senior Brother is right.

Right now is the critical moment for healing.

How could she delay serious business just because of the display of her body?

Besides, the other person was someone close to her, her trusted Senior Brother!

What would it matter if she removed her clothing in front of Senior Brother?

With this thought, there were no more obstacles in Luo Bingyan's heart. She bit her lip lightly and closed her eyes.

She reached out, her fingertips trembling slightly as she undid the buttons of her palace dress.

This garment, woven with Cold Ice Silk and embroidered with snowflake patterns, was removed by her layer by layer.

Soon.

The clothing on Luo Bingyan's torso completely fell away, revealing a delicate, jade-like body.

Her skin was fair and smooth without a single blemish. Every inch of bone and every tendon was hidden beneath the skin.

They outlined curves that conformed to the principles of heaven and earth.

As her breathing became gentle, her chest rose and fell accordingly.

This delicate body thus stood naked within Su Yun's line of sight.

*Gulp*.

Su Yun's gaze involuntarily wandered over the body before him.

The aura emitted by that delicate body was enough to impact any man's mind, making him feel a bout of dry mouth and parched throat.

Subconsciously, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and the sound of a swallow was exceptionally clear in the bamboo hut.
