Chapter 39: Just Massaging the Injured Area…
The two women’s cooking skills were truly abysmal. Yan Zhen had no choice but to take over, washing the charred chicken, scraping off the burnt bits, then shredding the meat, adding it to the vegetable mush, along with some water, creating a chicken and vegetable soup.
After adding some medicinal powders for seasoning, it was… edible. They ate their makeshift meal.
Actually, apart from Yan Zhen, who was still growing, the two women could go for days without eating. As Mystic Lords, they were already partially abstaining from grains-food.
After dinner, they sat by the fire, chatting as they digested their food.
Yun Xiu, wanting to know more about him, asked, “Chen Zhen, you’re only a Mystic Scholar. What are you doing in the core region of the Demon Dragon Mountain Range?”
He perked up, realizing the main quest was about to begin.
“I’m looking for something.”
“What is it?” Jiu Youyue asked, feigning ignorance. “Medicinal herbs?”
“Well…”
He glanced at Yun Xiu. In the script, he hadn’t planned to tell them, but facing his “first love,” he couldn’t maintain his usual caution.
“To be honest, I’m looking for an Extreme Flame.”
“An Extreme Flame?!”
Jiu Youyue gasped dramatically, her hand covering her mouth, her eyes wide with feigned surprise. Her acting was a bit over-the-top.
Yun Xiu, ignoring her, continued the conversation.
“You already have an Extreme Flame. Why are you looking for another one? As far as I know, Extreme Flames can’t coexist. Even if you find a second one, you can’t refine it. It would be life-threatening.”
“My cultivation technique is a bit… special. It allows me to refine a second Extreme Flame. In fact, I need Extreme Flames to cultivate. Without them, I can’t advance. So I have to find them.”
— Such a unique cultivation technique~
Jiu Youyue was about to express her “surprise” when she remembered telling him last night that she knew he cultivated the Emperor Flame Technique. She quickly shut her mouth, replacing her surprise with a knowing expression.
“It’s called the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire. It can control minds and is very effective against dragons. Those two dragons you fought were its flame slaves.” He continued, “The Mystic Beasts in the mountains are searching for you. That’s probably the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire’s will.”
She followed his lead.
“So, to safely leave the Demon Dragon Mountain Range, we have to either defeat the dragons or subdue the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire?”
“Yes, otherwise, as soon as you show yourselves, you’ll be surrounded by its flame slaves.”
Normally, Mystic Beasts wouldn’t approach those with stronger auras, but these beasts were controlled by the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire, reduced to mere puppets, unconditionally obeying its commands.
According to the script, they would be discovered before they could fully recover, a large number of Mystic Beasts swarming them.
And since they were at a crucial stage of their recovery, he would have no choice but to lure the beasts away, relying on his superior movement technique and stamina, running for his life.
The number of pursuing beasts would increase, their strength growing, Tier 3, Tier 4, Tier 5… Until he was nearly exhausted, and they, finally recovered, would arrive, slaughtering the beasts, saving him.
“…”
The thought of being chased by a horde of Mystic Beasts made him shudder.
Fortunately, this wasn’t a key plot point. The acting requirements were flexible. He could improvise.
…
Yun Xiu and Jiu Youyue also recalled this event.
They had thought he had died in the beast horde, their hearts aching with loss, as they tracked his aura, slaughtering any Mystic Beast they encountered.
Then, at the edge of the forest, they had seen the twin-colored flames rising into the sky, heard his roar, and felt a surge of relief and joy.
They had rushed to his aid, killing all the beasts surrounding him, then pulled him, his body covered in wounds, into their arms.
They had learned later that he could have simply hidden inside the crystal pendant around his neck, but he had been worried that the beasts, finding him gone, would return to the cave, endangering them. So he had fought, risking his life to protect them.
Remembering this, they both smiled faintly, their gazes softening.
“In that case, after your injuries are healed, we’ll kill those two dragons, then help you subdue the Evil Spirit Dragon Breath Fire. Consider it our repayment. How about that?”
He blinked. If they took the initiative, he wouldn’t have to be chased by the beast horde!
“Have you… recovered your cultivation?”
Yun Xiu nodded slightly.
“Almost… So you can focus on healing your injuries. You don’t have to take care of us anymore.”
“Let us take care of you, Little Zhenzhen.” Jiu Youyue took his hand, placing it on her thigh, her voice suggestive. “Like… giving you another massage~”
He immediately pictured them pressing their breasts against him, one from the front, one from behind, his body reacting instinctively. He quickly shook his head.
“N-no need! It doesn’t hurt that much anymore.”
He wasn’t sure he could handle another “massage.”
Especially the image of Yun Xiu, her face flushed, her chest pressed against him… It was incredibly arousing.
As he thought this, the woman in question asked, “Will it affect your sleep?”
“It’s fine,” he replied, snapping out of his daze. “I can sleep on my side.”
“So it still hurts when you lie down.” Jiu Youyue glared at him. “You’re clearly not fully healed, yet you keep saying you’re fine. That’s not a good habit, Little Zhenzhen.”
He was embarrassed.
“I-I can’t handle another… massage like that.”
“Who said we’re using our… assets to massage you?” She giggled, covering her mouth with her hand. “Your injuries are better now. Using our hands should be fine, right?”
Uh… He blushed furiously.
“Oh my, are you still thinking about that kind of massage, Little Zhenzhen? I wouldn’t mind, but I’m not sure about Sister~ Sister, should we… fulfill his wish?”
Yun Xiu couldn’t handle another round. The previous one had nearly pushed her over the edge. She didn’t dare imagine what would happen if they continued.
But judging by his expression, he seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.
She bit her lip, her voice soft.
“If it’s just… massaging the injured area…”
Jiu Youyue was startled. She had been joking, teasing him, but her sister seemed to be seriously considering it!
She had only acted so boldly before because she had been worried about him. Now that he was better, it would be pure flirtation, a dangerous game that could easily escalate. She wasn’t mentally prepared. Was her sister?
She suddenly felt like she had fallen behind Yun Xiu once again.
