Chapter 72 Wounds
The humid, scorching air rushed in through the cracked glass dome.

Jiang Mian was holding one of Li Yan's hands.

Jiang Mian held Li Yan's large hand and carefully treated his cuts with cotton swabs and medicated wine.

The humid air seemed to have slightly dampened people's skin, and when palms touched, there was a sticky, hot, and humid feeling.

Li Yan's fingers involuntarily curled slightly.

Jiang Mian treated the wounds on his fingers and then his arm, her gaze intently fixed on the wounds he was treating.

Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly. Even as she carefully tended to his wounds, she could feel Li Yan's intense gaze fixed on her.

After Jiang Mian treated the scratch on his arm and put on a band-aid, she looked up at him and asked casually, "Does it hurt?"

Otherwise, why would he keep staring at her?

"It doesn't hurt." Li Yan slowly curled his lips, his dark, narrow eyes staring at her with unspeakable thoughts.

"Then take off your clothes." Jiang Mian's lips moved slightly. Perhaps the other person had nothing better to do than stare at her, so she didn't care anymore and spoke in a businesslike tone.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Jiang Mian with a slightly darker gaze.

"What are you standing there for? Take off your clothes." Jiang Mian's lips twitched slightly, and she quickly explained, afraid that he would misunderstand, "I'll help you treat the wound on your back."

After a moment, Li Yan responded, "Okay."

He quickly took off his clothes.

Jiang Mian saw a perfectly strong eight-pack, with very smooth and obvious muscle lines, looking full of taut power. The lean waistline outlined an alluring curve, but was hidden inside loose pants.

"What are you looking at?" Li Yan raised his sharp eyebrows slightly, the corners of his lips curled up, and his dark eyes stared at her with a hint of wickedness.

"Cough, it's nothing." Jiang Mian quickly looked away. "Turn your back to me."

Li Yan's chest trembled slightly, and a cryptic smile emerged. "Hmm."

He obediently turned around and faced away from her.

Jiang Mian then began to treat his back, which had many more wounds, and she discovered that many of them were old scars, as well as many deep knife wounds that were close to his heart.

This guy must have been living a life of constant danger, otherwise he wouldn't have so many fatal wounds.

She paused only slightly before continuing to treat the bleeding wounds.

Li Yan felt the woman's hand on his back like a tiny flame stirring up an unknown burning sensation.

The pain from those wounds and the woman's gentle fingers seemed to transform into a dense, tingling, burning sensation.

The wolf's tail couldn't help but curl up slightly, becoming hot and trembling.

His broad, muscular back couldn't help but hunch slightly.

Jiang Mian's fingers landed on his back, and he seemed to feel the muscles tighten slightly.

She looked down and saw his large, curled-up wolf tail.

Jiang Mian paused, then her gaze fell on the two slightly trembling wolf ears on his head. The trembling was small, but because his wolf ears were adorned with a row of dark earrings, even the slightest tremor caused a change in light and shadow, making it noticeable.

The earring swayed slightly, as if reflecting light and shadow that shifted like bubbles.

Jiang Mian really wanted to pinch it; the wolf's ears twitched and attracted her attention, making her palms itch.

But she only dared to think about it and didn't dare to touch the wolf-beastman's ears. After all, when she first arrived here, she almost got strangled for touching his wolf ears, so she had to put her mind to it for the time being.

She sighed inwardly.

Although their relationship doesn't seem as tense as it was when she first transmigrated.

But it doesn't seem to be good enough that you can just casually touch his wolf ears.

After Jiang Mian finished treating the wound, she said, "All done."

Li Yan put his clothes back on, his ears burning and turning red.

Or perhaps he felt hot all over, and his throat was terribly dry. He even wished that hand would slide away from his back and onto somewhere else…

Li Yan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his deep gaze fixed intently ahead, as if he were trying his best to restrain himself.

He didn't dare to look at Jiang Mian beside him.

Depend on……

The journey became quiet.

Jiang Mian pondered; this hovercar was borrowed by her, and the one she had just bought hadn't been used yet.

The extent of the damage to this car now...

I wonder if paying her money can resolve this?

I had no choice but to ask Lin Xuan.

Jiang Mian: If the car is damaged, can money solve the problem?

Lin Xuan: What? You actually damaged the city lord's hovercar? What did you do? How could you damage the car?

Jiang Mian: We've encountered thugs.

Lin Xuan: Show me the extent of the damage.

Jiang Mian then took a picture and sent it to Lin Xuan.

Jiang Mian: [Images][Videos]
Lin Xuan: ...You don't need to hand this car over to me. Just return it to the city lord and do whatever he says.

Jiang Mian:......

So Lin Xuan doesn't dare to return the damaged car herself. Is it because she might encounter something terrible?
The city lord seems like a gentle and mild-mannered person; he doesn't seem like the type to do anything terrible.

However, since Lin Xuan had already said so, Jiang Mian had no choice but to return it herself when she got back.

Actually, if the other party doesn't accept Star Coins as compensation, she has a new hovercar she can give them as compensation, but she's just a little reluctant to part with it.

Therefore, her first action would be to ask the other party whether they would accept compensation in Star Coins.

After half a day, the two finally returned to Baicheng.

Jiang Mian actually felt quite tired, not only from the fatigue of traveling, but also from sleeping on the floor of the airport terminal for three days, and even more so from the shock of being shot and facing death.

She walked ahead, intending to go back and rest first, without rushing to return the hovercar.

"Jiang Mian, do you know how to shoot?" Li Yan's voice sounded behind her.

Jiang Mian paused, then turned to look at him: "Yes."

The future Rinyu taught her, and she learned quite a few methods of loading and firing various guns, but she spent most of her time in the laboratory.

After she finished speaking, she continued walking forward.

Li Yan paused, thinking that she was unaware of these things, and planned to use teaching her to shoot to improve their relationship.

However, after hearing this answer, he seemed even more interested in her.

“Hey Jiang, I’ll teach you how to drive a hovercar.” Li Yan strode after him.

Jiang Mian paused for a moment, then simply replied, "We'll see."

All she wants now is to go back to her room and lie down in bed to rest.

As soon as Jiang Mian opened the door to the small building, someone rushed over and hugged her.

Jiang Mian was caught off guard and suddenly found herself in a tight embrace.

"Sister, you're finally back!" Chi Lin hugged Jiang Mian tightly. "I missed you so much!"
