'So painful… it feels like my whole body is being torn apart.'
Yun Yun's elegant brows furrowed slightly, a faint trace of pain lingering on her face.
Suddenly, her beautiful eyes snapped open as she widened them in alarm.
'No! This isn't the injury that Magic Beast gave me!'
'This is…'
Her mind went blank. She struggled to recall what had just happened.
In order to help her disciple Nalan Yan win the Three-Year Agreement, she had come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range herself, intending to request the Purple Spirit Crystal from the Amethyst Winged Lion King. But during the battle with it, she had carelessly been struck by its Amethyst Seal Technique, causing her strength to be sealed. Heavily wounded, she lost consciousness and fell into a river.
And after that...
Yun Yun felt like breaking down.
As the Sect Leader of Misty Cloud Sect, she had grown up under her master Yun Shan's strict guidance, dedicating her life to cultivation and seeking only to elevate the sect's name. She had never paid attention to matters between men and women.
She had guarded her chastity for twenty years and cultivated all the way to the Dou Emperor realm.
In the Jia Ma Empire, she was considered one of the strongest among the elite. Those who saw her would respectfully call her Sect Leader Yun.
Yet now…
"Yo, you're awake."
A youth with strikingly handsome features stepped into the cave, carrying a plump white rabbit in one hand.
He wore a black robe, his long hair black as ink. His handsome face was calm and indifferent. Seeing Yun Yun awaken, he casually greeted her.
'It's this guy?!'
Yun Yun's face turned pale. Her gaze turned ice-cold as she stared at the youth. Her beautiful eyes were filled with rage and even a hint of sobbing as she said, "Who are you?! Do you know who I am?! How dare you humiliate me like this!"
"My name is Lin Ran."
Looking at Yun Yun before him, Lin Ran smiled faintly and casually tossed the rabbit aside.
"I don't care who you are. As for humiliation..."
"This Magic Beast Mountain Range is full of danger. Not only was your Dou Qi sealed, you were seriously injured. If someone like He Yuan or those kinds of scum had found you, now that would've been a real humiliation. What I did is already quite normal."
'A normal thing? He did that to me while I was unconscious, and he calls it normal?!'
"You! You!"
Yun Yun was so furious she trembled.
She had never met someone so shameless in her life!
Not only had he violated her, but he was also so arrogant about it. If not for the fact that her cultivation was currently sealed by the Amethyst Seal, she would've ended this lecher with one strike of her sword!
"That glare of yours is something else. You know, last night was quite the experience."
Lin Ran chuckled and stepped up to Yun Yun, lifting her chin with one hand.
"If it weren't for you, I might've been in a tight spot these past few days."
"Oh right, don't go thinking about doing something like killing yourself. I'd really hate to see such a fine treasure go to waste."
'Treasure? This guy who violated me… is treating me like some kind of toy?!'
Yun Yun was practically laughing from rage. This nobody who came out of nowhere had not only stolen her purity, but now saw her as his possession?!
Her icy eyes stared straight into Lin Ran's dark pupils, filled with hatred.
"You either kill me now, or once I recover from my injuries and the seal is lifted, I'll kill you myself!"
"Mm, mm, very ambitious."
Lin Ran nodded casually, then released her chin. His hand fell naturally to her body and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"But I suggest you put some clothes on first. In your sealed state, without Dou Qi, you're no different from an ordinary person."
"Of course, if you're into things like this, feel free to ignore my advice."
Clothes?
Yun Yun's pretty face froze. Moments later, a sharp scream echoed through the cave.
Her clothes had been damaged during the battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Although she'd still had inner armor on, it had been far too inconvenient during "the act," and had long been tossed aside by Lin Ran.
As a result, Yun Yun now could be said to have not a single thread on her...
...
Lin Ran didn't pay any attention to Yun Yun's high-pitched scream. He sat leisurely on a rock, calmly skinned the rabbit, drained its blood, and placed it over the campfire to roast.
He uncorked a jade bottle and sprinkled some salt over the meat. As the scent rose from the flames, Lin Ran's thoughts gradually wandered.
Lin Ran, young master of the Cloud Rain Sect, sole heir to the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts!
Yes, those same three top-level LSPs from the original story who once threw money and gifts at Xiao Yan.
Back when he transmigrated from Blue Star to this world, he had run into the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts by chance. The three took one look at him and said he possessed a Pure Yang Body, an extremely rare physique—an unparalleled gift from the heavens. They insisted he inherit all their knowledge.
At the time, Lin Ran was just a kid—an orphan with nowhere to go. Naturally, he could only nod and obey as he was brought back to the Cloud Rain Sect.
Whether it was truly exceptional talent or the Pure Yang Body those old geezers talked about, Lin Ran's cultivation speed was absolutely monstrous.
He began cultivation at three, became a Dou Practitioner at eight, and with the help of the sect's special techniques, kept breaking through.
Now, at only eighteen, he had already reached the level of Dou Ancestor and was named the young sect master by the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts.
Eighteen years old and already a Dou Ancestor—what a terrifying existence. Even Xiao Yan, the future Flame Emperor, had only reached Dou Grandmaster by that age.
Of course, this nearly cheat-like speed of advancement came with a heavy price.
Because of his Pure Yang Body, his Yin and Yang energies would occasionally fall into chaos. If he didn't balance them regularly, it would damage his meridians and halt his cultivation altogether.
Only by balancing Yin and Yang could the Dao path remain unobstructed.
"Meat's done. You want some?"
Not long after, the rabbit meat was roasted to a golden crisp, its juices sizzling and releasing a mouth-watering aroma. Lin Ran tore off a piece to taste, then handed it to Yun Yun.
"I'm not eating!"
Yun Yun refused coldly, hugging herself tightly.
Even though she hadn't eaten in days, just looking at Lin Ran's face brought back those unbearable memories—of being helpless, sealed, and violated by this man while unconscious.
Every time she recalled it, she wanted to rip his flesh apart and crush his bones—how could she possibly have any appetite?
"Really not eating? This is Softbone Rabbit. Not only is it tender, but it also contains rich magical energy. For someone seriously injured like you, it'll help a lot."
"I said I'm not eating! You'd best kill me now, because the moment I break this seal, the first thing I'll do is kill you!"
"Okay, okay."
Lin Ran responded with a shrug and continued to focus on finishing off the roast rabbit. In no time, he'd eaten it clean—only a pile of bones remained.
Yun Yun's lips trembled slightly, and she let out a faint groan. But just as she lowered her head, Lin Ran stood up again and walked toward her.
"You… what are you trying to do now?!" Yun Yun's voice trembled with fear.
"Huh?"
Lin Ran tilted his head, loosening his robe while looking at her in confusion, as if genuinely puzzled by her question.
'What am I doing? Obviously… I need to balance my Yin and Yang again.'
