Volume 1, Chapter 66 – Healing

After discarding some inexplicable thoughts, Yumo focused her attention on Mengxi’s chest once again. Of course, this time it wasn’t to admire the spheres but to examine the wound. Upon seeing the extent of the injury, Yumo’s crimson eyes couldn’t help but narrow slightly.

Reflected in Yumo’s eyes was a deep, continuously bleeding wound that tore from the young girl’s right shoulder down to her left waist. The wound was hideous and shocking to behold, clearly the result of Elbino’s Soul Release Slash from earlier. That fellow had obviously intended to cleave the female lead in two with a single strike, but fortunately, Mengxi had adjusted her position in time to avoid being split asunder.

Hmm, actually, even if she hadn’t avoided it, Yumo would have stepped in to stop it if things had truly reached that point.

However, ‘That guy’s aim wasn’t bad…’ If it had been just a bit lower, the round, plump bun of the female lead’s right breast would likely have been sliced in half. Although it had been grazed more or less, overall, it wasn’t a major issue.

Now then, let’s begin the treatment.

Thinking this, Yumo slowly raised her hand, and surges of crimson Shadow Essence flowed toward the spatial ring on her index finger. As the spatial ring was activated, ripples of pale blue spatial energy gently emanated outward, and in the next moment, an exquisite amethyst glass bottle emerged from the shimmering spatial ripples and landed in Yumo’s hand.

The emerald liquid stored within this glass bottle was the most miraculous healing potion on the Ancheka Continent, Tears of Nature. It was a national treasure unique to the Elven Race and was never shared with outsiders.

As for why such a potion would appear in Yumo’s hands, with dozens more bottles to boot? For that, she had to thank Saibok and the Blackrose Family behind him. These Tears of Nature had all been brought by Saibok as a gift for Yumo last time. It was said that when Xiao (the head of the Blackrose Family) went to ‘borrow’ Shapeshifting Magic from the Elven Race, the Elven Queen had ‘gifted’ them to him.

Whenever she thought of this, Yumo couldn’t help but marvel at the ‘generosity’ of the Elven Race and the deep ‘friendship’ between the Blackrose Family and the elves.

‘What a group of kind long-ears. I should pay them a visit myself sometime~’

After a brief moment of sentiment, Yumo poured the emerald liquid from the bottle into the palm of her left hand. Feeling the dense aura of life and the potent purifying power radiating from the emerald liquid, Yumo couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile. With these Tears of Nature, she should be able to smoothly heal the female lead’s wound and dissolve the curse power within it, right?

Furthermore, it was said that wounds treated with this stuff wouldn’t leave scars. Hmm, hopefully that’s the case. After all, if such a perfect body as the female lead’s had such a scar, it would ruin the aesthetic far too much.

Miss Yumo couldn’t help but pray like this in her heart.

“Forgive me, Miss Mengxi. Please excuse my rudeness,” Yumo said with a hint of apology as she looked at the girl’s exquisite face and closed eyes. After all, the female lead in her “sleeping beauty” state exuded an inviolable, holy aura. Touching her delicate body while she was unconscious, especially in such a sensitive area, naturally made Yumo feel a sliver of guilt.

To a certain male lead who is currently the Crown Prince of the Snownight Empire~ I’m not trying to cuckold you~ I just want to save your future wife~ Besides, I’m a girl now too, so you don’t need to worry too much. It’s impossible for me to steal your wife…

While mumbling to herself internally, Yumo’s small hand, coated in Tears of Nature, slowly touched Mengxi’s wound. At the moment of contact, the sleeping Mengxi couldn’t help but tremble, and a trace of pain surfaced on the girl’s beautiful face, causing Yumo’s gaze to soften with a flicker of heartache.

“Rest easy. In a moment, it won’t hurt anymore.”

As she spoke, Yumo’s hand slowly moved downward from the collarbone to the chest and then to the waist, applying the healing potion over the entire gruesome scar. When she inevitably brushed against certain soft areas, Yumo’s heart skipped a beat.

As the Tears of Nature came into contact with the wound, ripples of soft emerald light began to shimmer. Under Miss Yumo’s slightly surprised gaze, as the healing and purifying powers radiated outward, the blood on Mengxi’s wound stopped flowing, and the power of the curse instantly disintegrated. The entire wound began to heal at a pace visible to the naked eye. The expression of pain on Mengxi’s face gradually faded, and the silver-haired girl returned to a state of tranquility.

Seeing this scene, after her initial slight shock, Miss Yumo couldn’t help but reveal a satisfied smile.

Umumu~ As expected of Tears of Nature. The best holy medicine for healing on the continent truly lives up to its reputation. It actually healed her this quickly?! Not bad, not bad~

Looking at the skin that was almost as good as new, Yumo marveled once again at the wonders of the Elven Race’s holy medicine, while also strengthening her resolve to one day take a trip to visit the elves.

‘Hmm, this part is healed. What about the other places…’

Thinking of this, Yumo’s gaze slowly drifted toward the female lead’s other injuries. Looking at the gruesome bloody gashes on her arms and thighs, Miss Yumo pursed her lips slightly, a playful glint appearing in her crimson eyes.

These wounds? Should she treat them as well? It’s just a bit of touching, after all. Who wouldn’t want to feel, cough!, nobody would want such a perfect body to be left with scars, right? Besides, there are plenty of these Tears of Nature left~ There’s definitely enough! Even if they run out, given the ‘good’ relationship between the Blackrose Family and the Elven Race, it wouldn’t be a big problem to ask for more next time, hehe~

Without a doubt, the little devil inside Yumo’s heart was frantically roaring into her ear with a megaphone. However, after another moment of hesitation, Yumo ultimately chose to shake her head and abandon the thoughts in her mind.

‘Forget it. I feel a bit like a creep.’

She is a pure maiden, after all. Better to respect her body. Besides, healing the largest wound is enough. Otherwise, if the female lead wakes up and finds her body completely unscathed, she’ll find it very strange. Wait? If the wound on her chest is gone, won’t she also find that strange? Should I… give her another cut??

Yes, I have to give her a light cut.

A battle survived is definitely the most precious combat experience for a protagonist. To preserve that sense of reality, Miss Yumo struck a hand-blade pose. Bursts of crimson Shadow Essence began to slowly ripple around her, coating Yumo’s hand-blade. She had to control the strength. Just a light stroke would do.

Sorry, Miss Mengxi. I have to give you another… Huh??

However, just as Yumo was about to strike, a world-shaking energy clash suddenly erupted at the battlefield outside Fort Garros where Li Mo and that Heavenly Apostle were! Subsequently, within Yumo’s field of perception, a white meteor suddenly streaked across the sky, instantly closing in on Yumo’s location!

‘Hm?’

In the next moment, after quickly dressing Mengxi, Yumo looked behind her.

Under her slightly stunned gaze, a white-haired girl exuding a thick scent of blood and brimming with hostility suddenly descended from the sky, crashing heavily into the ruins ahead and kicking up a cloud of dust! As the dust cleared, the white-haired girl’s azure eyes locked firmly onto Yumo.

Upon seeing the crimson glow on Yumo’s hand-blade, killing intent exploded from the eyes of the white-haired girl, Bai Yanluo, like a volcanic eruption! The girl abruptly raised the jet-black longsword in her hand, the tip of the blade pointing directly at the space between Yumo’s brows!

“What do you think you’re doing to the Saintess!!”

Yumo: …
