Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

Lin Yun looked her over and asked in surprise.

“Miss Lu, your injuries…”

Although it's not as serious as last time, it's still not something that can be ignored.

Lu Xian'er pursed her lips and said, "It's a long story. Not long ago, I fought with a demonic cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Palace to compete for a treasure."

"Later, we encountered a beast tide and almost didn't make it out. I was lucky to survive."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun suddenly understood.

"No wonder, the beast tide was truly terrifying tonight."

If it weren't for his invincible defense, even he would have a hard time dealing with a beast tide, let alone Lu Xian'er.

Looking at her injuries, Lin Yun pondered for a moment and said.

"How about we find a place first, and I'll treat you?"

After all, they're acquaintances, so it wouldn't be right to leave them alone here.

Lu Xian'er paused for a moment, seemingly a little shy, but still nodded gently.

"Well, thank you..."

Although she had taken some healing pills, the treatment was not very effective, far inferior to Lin Yun's mysterious techniques.

The only thing that might be bothering people is that they have to touch the wound.

And since they still have to compete for the Empress's throne, the faster they recover, the better.

Before long, the two found a secluded cave and set up their temporary camp there.

Lin Yun looked at the small cave and moved a rock over for her.

"Just sit here, I'll treat you."

"Um……"

Lu Xian'er nodded and sat down.

After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and untied the belt around her waist, quickly revealing her fair shoulders and the white bra underneath...

This startled Lin Yun, who had just looked over.

"Wait, Miss Lu, what are you doing?"

Lu Xian'er asked in confusion, "Doesn't the treatment require taking off our clothes?"

"I said……"

Lin Yun stared at her with a strange expression.

"You're not so badly injured this time, so I can just stick my finger in, right?"

"Um, do I need to take it off?"

"I guess so, but if you prefer something cooler, I don't mind."

Lu Xian'er's pretty face flushed instantly, and she quickly put her clothes back on, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Yes...I'm sorry."

Seeing this, Lin Yun shook his head helplessly.

Then, just like when he helped Bai Xiaoxue last time, he used two fingers to gently stroke the injured area through the tear in her skirt.

Everything else was fine, but while they were treating a wound on her waist, her body suddenly trembled slightly, and she suddenly made a sound.

"Hmm~"

Lin Yun froze for a moment, then turned to look at her.

"No, could you please stop making strange noises?"

That shout almost made her blood boil.

Lu Xian'er's pretty face flushed red beneath her veil, and she quickly explained.

"Sorry, that area is a bit too sensitive..."

But after saying that, he realized it was wrong and quickly added something else.

"What I mean is, I'm quite ticklish..."

The itchy sensation accompanying the pain was her Achilles' heel...

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun shook his head.

"Your sensitivity is just like Xiaoxue's."

"???"

Lu Xian'er was taken aback, and looked at him strangely, asking a question.

"Dean Lin is aware of her sensitivity?"

"Of course, have you forgotten that I helped her heal her injuries during the Qingyun Grand Competition last time?"

"Oh, so that's what it was..."

"Of course, which one do you think it is?"

"I……"

This question left Lu Xian'er speechless.

Feeling embarrassed to continue, he quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, how was your day?"

"It's alright, the harvest was quite plentiful."

"That's good, then the trip wasn't in vain."

Lu Xian'er nodded and continued to ask.

"What about the Western Regions Sword Alliance? Have you encountered any of those people?"

"Yes, I've encountered it once."

"You didn't have a conflict, did you? Those guys are always extremely domineering."

"I'm fine, but that person is probably furious."

"You stole their things?"

"That's not robbery, it's just getting it first."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xian'er's eyebrows twitched slightly as she offered a reminder.

"Whether it's robbing or taking, we still have to be careful of their retaliation. Those guys from the Sword Alliance have always been ruthless in achieving their goals."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Lin Yun nodded, then put his hand away and smiled.

"Alright, how's the recovery going?"

While they were chatting, her more serious external injuries were all healed by the healing hand.

Lu Xian'er stood up and checked herself. Sure enough, she had fully recovered, and her eyes were full of amazement.

"Dean Lin, your medical skills are amazing! You are even more skilled than many renowned doctors on the continent."

"Not bad, just a little trick."

Lin Yun smiled modestly, while Lu Xian'er looked at him and felt the man's mystery even more.

At this moment, Lin Yun looked at the darkness and white mist outside the cave and frowned.

"Speaking of which, it seems we'll have to rest for the night."

The white mist showed no sign of dissipating; although it wouldn't cause injury, it kept swirling around in the same spot.

"Sigh, this is really troublesome..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xian'er couldn't help but ask, "Are you worried about Bai Xiaoxue and the others?"

"Yeah, those two girls are too attention-grabbing."

Lin Yun sighed. Besides, when they arrived, they all had very ominous divination results.

"Don't worry, they're so smart, they'll be fine."

"Sigh, I hope so..."

Lin Yun sighed. He now completely regarded them as family, and even regretted bringing them along.

I shouldn't have made that bet with that guy so rashly in the first place...

For a moment, the atmosphere inside the cave became somewhat oppressive.

Then, Lin Yun shook his head and turned to Lu Xian'er, teasing her.

"Speaking of which, it seems like it's just the two of us tonight, a lone man and a lone woman spending the night here."

Lin Yun's words, which eased the atmosphere, surprised Lu Xian'er.

She inexplicably remembered her master's words, and took advantage of their time alone to drug him, forcing him into a fait accompli...

The problem is, there isn't even a bed, are we supposed to sit on the floor?

But then, Lu Xian'er shook her head repeatedly.

"Seriously, what am I even thinking about..."

She thought it was all her master's fault; he'd been feeding her strange knowledge lately, which made her prone to having inappropriate fantasies...

At this moment, Lin Yun looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Is it just my imagination, Miss Lu? Why is your face so red?"

"No...no!"

Lu Xian'er vehemently denied it and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, since we're staying here overnight, let me make something to eat as a way of thanking you for your treatment."

Although one can survive by absorbing profound energy after reaching the extraordinary realm of cultivation, many people still choose to eat, since food itself is a kind of enjoyment!

On the other hand, it also eased Lin Yun's concerns.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"Miss Lu, you still have this leisure time?"

Lu Xian'er chuckled and said, "Anyway, I'm just idling around."

As she spoke, she took out a complete set of tableware and even ingredients, clearly indicating that she had come prepared!

"Um, I guess I won't need it..."

Half an hour later, Lu Xian'er was grilling meat.

On the other side, Lin Yun took a sip of the freshly cooked chicken soup.

Mmm...it smells so good!

Lin Yun looked at Lu Xian'er in surprise and sighed.

"I didn't realize that Miss Lu, as the young master of the valley, who is used to being waited on hand and foot, would have such a special skill."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xian'er smiled and pursed her lips.

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

"Yes, I love it."

Lin Yun thought she was talking about inspirational quotes, and praised her without any hesitation.

"Whoever marries you in the future will be incredibly lucky."

Lu Xian'er blushed at what was said, but it was worth all the time she had practiced!

Even now, there are still knife marks on her fingers that haven't completely faded.

But after hearing him say that, everyone immediately felt it was all worth it.

"Stop praising me, there's also barbecue here, get ready to eat."

"Okay, I'll help you!"

Lin Yun stepped forward and helped her tear off a large roasted lamb leg.

"There's oil all over here, don't get it on your skirt. I'll make the seasoning."

"Okay, just add all the seasonings."

Lu Xian'er pointed to the many bottles and jars nearby.

"Okay, wrap it up on me."

Lin Yun smiled and nodded, then tore the lamb leg apart and sprinkled it onto the lamb one bottle at a time.

Each bottle has a label, such as cumin powder, chili powder, etc.

Looking at the busy Lin Yun, Lu Xian'er felt very at ease, as if she were not exploring a secret realm, but going camping with her husband.

It has a very familiar, long-married couple feel to it...

Lin Yun didn't notice her gaze and was still adding the seasonings one by one.

At this moment, Lin Yun picked up a condiment bottle that looked the same as the other condiment bottles, but was red in color and had no writing on it.

"Is this... a special chili powder?"

Lin Yun didn't think much of it, assuming it was some special ingredient, and sprinkled it in as well.

So much so that they even sprinkled some extra...

Before long, he looked at the delicious-looking lamb leg with satisfaction.

“It’s finally done!”

Lin Yun picked up a piece of mutton and handed it to Lu Xian'er with a smile.

"You've been busy for so long, why don't you have a piece first?"

He used to occasionally feed Xiaoxue and Shishi like this in the courtyard, oh right, and Silong before...

But for Lu Xian'er, this extremely ambiguous feeding left her momentarily stunned.

"Um, I..."

Lin Yun only just realized what was happening and quickly coughed lightly.

"I'm sorry, I offended you..."

He then realized that the children before him were not from an orphanage, but rather fairies from the Valley of Joyful Bliss…

Just as he was about to pull his hand back, he saw Lu Xian'er lift her veil, lean over, and eat the piece of meat in his hand.

The soft touch on his fingertips startled Lin Yun for a moment.

"Um, how is it? Is it delicious?"

"..."

Lu Xian'er's face was flushed beneath her veil; she was somewhat surprised by her own actions just now.

So much so that he lost his appetite and could only nod in agreement.

"Mmm, delicious..."

Seeing this, Lin Yun also picked up a small piece, tasted it, and said with satisfaction.

"It really is! The meat is just right, spicy with a hint of sweetness."

"Uh-huh?"

Lu Xian'er suddenly paused.

"You mean, spicy with a hint of sweetness? But I didn't bring any sugary condiments."

"No way, why don't you try it again?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xian'er took another piece and ate it, then looked puzzled.

"Strange, it really does taste sweet..."

But soon, she seemed to realize something, and her eyes suddenly froze.

"Wait, what did you put in there?!"
