Chapter 566

This embarrassing scene made Su Yun feel extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to store the profound qi and let his body stand up, but the person beneath him cried out urgently, "Don't activate the profound qi."

Su Yun's movements froze, he was still maintaining the position where he was pressing her, and asked her in astonishment: "Why?"

"You … You just fell down, did you lose consciousness in the blink of an eye?"

Her breath quickened as she spoke in a soft voice.

"How do you know?"

"That's because the Boundary Tree's sap has started to repair your legs, but I never thought your legs would be so severely damaged!" The woman gently bit her tender lips, which was enough to make people go crazy, and said with a trembling voice, "The main purpose of the Boundary Tree's sap is not only to increase one's cultivation, but to revive and recover from death. Normally, the existence of severe injuries will cause it to regenerate and restore itself, other than the existence of souls that are damaged, it will also only be able to repair itself once and your soul is still injured.

"What?"

Hearing that, Su Yun immediately broke out in cold sweat, and shivered, a chill rising up his back.

How could he have imagined that the matter would be so serious?

No wonder she didn't use the profound qi to stall him. Once she used it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But then again, why didn't she use her hands to support herself? Was it fun to be a meat cushion?

Su Yun thought.

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Su Yun took a deep breath and asked.

"Earlier, I did not know that your legs would be like this. After all, when I checked your injuries for you, the injuries on your legs were not serious. Perhaps, when you broke through, did you deposit a large amount of liquid energy into your legs?" The woman seemed to have thought of something. She frowned and asked while breathing rapidly.

Hearing that, Su Yun awkwardly laughed: I did indeed do it on purpose, it's because I have cultivated a Divine Wind Sword Technique, and have already mastered it, it's just that I want to break through my current speed, and reach a higher and more powerful speed, that's why I have this kind of intention, I hope to use this mystical juice to achieve it.

"So that's the case. No wonder …"

"Everything is as it should be, everything is as it should be, everything is as it should be, and nothing can be forced, so this is what it is. You should not do it intentionally, otherwise it will be the opposite, and the Sacred Water of the World Tree will repair itself according to the damage done to different parts of your body. What you need to do is cooperate, not command."

"Fine." Su Yun nodded his head: "I was greedy."

The woman no longer spoke.

At this moment, her face was so red that it seemed as if blood would drip out at any moment. Her breathing became faster and faster, and traces of sweat appeared on her face. Her eyes were tightly shut, and her long, curved eyelashes gently swayed.

Seeing that, Su Yun was startled: "Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

He felt the warm body of the creature beneath him tremble slightly.

"Hmm!" She tried her best to make some sounds.

"How is this possible? Your cultivation level should not be low, I did not urge you to use profound energy at all, and the only thing pressing down on you is my body's weight, you should be able to bear it, right? " Su Yun said in shock.

However, the woman did not speak.

Only, her body was trembling even more violently.

What was wrong with this woman?

Su Yun was confused, but at the moment, he felt like he was pressing down on a soft cotton. That kind of feeling was hard to describe with words.

"Say, when will you be able to get up?"

"You can't get up until your legs recover their senses."

"When will that be?"

"I don't know!"

"Then push me away first, and get up first!"

"I … I … I can't do it …"

The woman whispered.

"Why?" Su Yun was surprised.

"I … I can't use even a little bit of strength right now."

"What?" Su Yun looked at her with wide eyes.

However, the woman still tilted her head, not saying a single word. Her cheeks were bright red, and she looked extremely adorable.

What the hell was this?

The lady did not explain, and Su Yun did not understand either. The two of them maintained their postures in such a strange manner, without stopping.

Su Yun did not dare to activate the profound energy, both of his legs went numb and he laid on the ground like a cripple. But at least he knew how to cherish a lady, supporting himself with his hands, he turned his body.

However, just as he fell off the woman, she let out a sound as if her bones were being crushed. Then she took a few short and heavy breaths. Finally, her breathing calmed down, and the sweat on her face became more and more obvious.

This ...

Could it be …

Su Yun stared blankly at the lady's beautiful and pure face that revealed such a captivating look, causing people to go crazy in their desire to seduce her, their hearts suddenly jumped, and an inexplicable heat rose from their stomachs.

How did it feel to see this woman for the first time?

It was the stunning feeling of one meeting a white lotus for the first time. Only when one saw the white lotus did one truly understand what it meant by 'untainted by mud', 'untainted by water', and not 'demonic'. However, when the white lotus turned into a colorful lotus, it finally understood what beauty was like. It made people worry about it and unable to forget about it. It made people go completely crazy.

Su Yun had seen a lot of beauties in his life, but it was his first time seeing such a pure and charming person.

This was simply a combination of a fairy and a witch!

"You, you, what's going on? What's the matter with you? "

Su Yun felt that his own breathing had become rapid, there was a trace of madness in his eyes. His body swept on the girl's beautiful and exquisite body.

However, just as Su Yun asked this question, the woman actually turned her body, and directly pressed down onto Su Yun's body. Su Yun was dumbfounded, before she could even react, an icy cold and soft, incomparably fragrant lips pressed onto his mouth.

What?

Su Yun's eyes widened.

Are all the people of Wanhua Realm so open-minded?

She carelessly kissed Su Yun's wide chest with her two small, ice-cold, soft hands. She seemed to be at a loss as to what to do, and her pair of watery eyes contained not only confusion, but also a deep sense of fear and pain.

Seeing this strange look, Su Yun's heart felt like it was being pierced by needles.

Perhaps he didn't even have the time to enjoy the feeling of comfort brought by the intoxicating fragrant lips …

"Miss! Miss!"

Su Yun did his best to control his body, which was on the verge of losing control, and shouted a few words in a dry and hoarse voice.

But at this moment, the girl seemed to have gone completely crazy. She didn't answer him at all. All that was left was a cat-like snort and a random kiss from her small mouth …

The fragrance surrounded Su Yun.

The softness. The tender feeling was even more difficult to leave.

She seemed to lose herself.

However, that trace of innate instinct seemed to have a strong resistance to all of this …

Sensing this extremely obscure resistance, Su Yun was suddenly awakened, and his entire body once again broke out in cold sweat.

She must have been affected by something and ended up like this. If she took advantage of him, would she still be considered human? The other party had saved his life!

Thinking about that, Su Yun suddenly pinched the flesh of his arm, although it did not hurt, but he was more clear-headed.

He pushed the woman in front of him aside and pushed her down to the ground, not letting her move, but the woman's lotus-like arms were still tightly holding onto Su Yun, and her eyes were filled with confusion as she stared at. It was clear that she was moved, her face incomparably flushed red, and her breathing became extremely quick, as though she would die anytime.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Su Yun no longer cared about the fairer sex as she directly slapped her delicate face twice.

Even though it wasn't very powerful, its face already had shallow palm marks imprinted on it, causing people to feel heartache.

However, these two slaps actually worked. The girl's breathing gradually slowed down, and her blurry eyes slowly became clear.

Seeing that, Su Yun heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed that it was just as he had thought. This woman wasn't convinced by his handsome appearance, but was influenced by some other factor.

However, what was the reason?

The woman slowly regained her composure and her breathing gradually stopped.

She did not stand up, but laid down on the ground with Su Yun, both of her eyes looking up at the green leaves and fresh flowers, her expression a little lonely.

Su Yun quietly went to sleep for a long time. When he realised that his legs could only feel something, he immediately sat up.

After getting up, he did not rush to his feet. Instead, he stared at the woman and asked, "Are you okay?"

The girl stood up with some difficulty. She bit her lips tightly and lowered her watery eyes. Her appearance was truly pitiful.

Seeing this, Su Yun understood that she had already returned to her normal state.

"I'm fine." She said so softly that it was almost impossible to hear her.

Looking at her downcast expression, Su Yun frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Just what happened? Why did you become like that?"

The lady raised her head and looked at Su Yun's face for a long time, then said: "If I don't tell you, I'm afraid you will misunderstand me, I am not a shameless woman, I can do that for a reason."

"Why is that?" Su Yun asked.

The woman exhaled as she gently lifted her fair and delicate hand. She opened her mouth as though she did not dare to say anything. In the end, she still pointed at her full and tall chest …

Su Yun was startled, and looked at her soft bosom with a strange expression.

"Why?"

"This is the reason …" The woman said in a low voice. When she sensed the other party's burning gaze, no matter how well a woman controlled herself, she was still a little embarrassed.

"What's the reason?" Su Yun realized that he was getting more and more confused.
