Yu Jiao stood up, startled and pale. In her heart, she had wished him dead long ago, but seeing the reality of death before her rendered her speechless with fright.

She was merely a young girl; waking from unconsciousness to the sight of a corpse was bound to frighten her.

"How did he die?" Yu Jiao's mind was a tangled mess, her lips trembling. Her memory only stretched back to the moment he broke both her arms and embraced her MM. Everything after that was lost in the fog of her swoon.

"...Did he escape here after being injured by the Black-Clad Guard, only to succumb to his wounds?" Yu Jiao finally settled on this hypothesis as the most plausible.

She had been an eyewitness to the battle between the Black-Clad Guard and him. She knew he had been surrounded; only this explanation seemed to fit the facts.

Finding the 'reason,' she slowly pushed herself up and walked toward the cave entrance. Since the man was dead, why should she remain?

Reaching the mouth of the cave brought new misery. He had sealed the opening with a massive boulder. If her arms hadn't been broken, it wouldn't matter, but now, with minimal movement in her limbs, trying to shift such a stone was impossible!

Kicking it? Utterly ridiculous!

"Am I to be trapped here to die alongside a corpse?" Yu Jiao's brow furrowed, her eyes blazing with unwillingness.

A narrow gap in the boulder at the cave entrance allowed a sliver of sunlight to penetrate. Yu Jiao pressed her back against the cool rock, staring at the 'dead man' before her, unsure what to do.

Hoo...

A gust of cold wind snaked in through a fissure behind her. Yu Jiao's back shivered under the caress of the slight breeze.

She glanced down at her own "tattered" garments. Yu Jiao blushed deeply; in her current state, she was entirely exposed to the man lying there. And he had touched her that place...

But thankfully, he was dead! Otherwise, how would she ever be able to marry?

It must be said that although Yu Jiao was somewhat spoiled and sharp-tongued, she was fundamentally a very conservative girl; otherwise, she wouldn't have fainted from shame when Chen Feng pressed against her chest.

Swish, swish...

Just then, the sound of footsteps crushing dry leaves drifted from outside.

"...We're supposed to search the mountains for the Young Miss, but where do we even begin? Besides, that fellow flew away so fast, he must be miles away by now. There's no way he's still here?" a complaining voice drifted in (temporary extra, no name needed, this character will be dispatched soon...).

"Tell me about it. Still, the Clan Leader gave the order, so we execute it!" said a second voice nearby (Extra B).

Extra A remarked, "You have to admit, the boss of that [Sweeping the Horizon] Legion is quite the audacious fellow!"

"No kidding! He looks barely twenty, yet he defeated Elder Fang Nei Zuo, that old monster. His cultivation is truly admirable!" Extra B exclaimed with genuine awe.

(At this moment, Yu Jiao, standing before the cave, looked utterly disbelieving. This 'dead man' defeated Uncle Fang? Impossible...)

"Yes, look how he acted when we surrounded him—not a hint of panic, even taking the Young Miss hostage. That kind of composure and mind alone deserves respect!" Extra A continued.

"The Young Clan Leader insists on opposing such a man; I fear the outcome will be grim. Listen, brother, we're just errand boys. We're only here because of that paltry monthly stipend. If danger arises, we flee first!" Extra B advised.

"Isn't that obvious? Do I look like someone who jokes with his own life? To risk everything for a small wage for the Duo Lun family? That's idiotic behavior!" Extra A retorted.

The outer ranks of the Ten Great Families were all hired hands; they served for money, unlike the religious guards who possessed fervent faith and were willing to sacrifice for doctrine. When faced with a choice between money and life, these outer soldiers almost invariably chose the latter—after all, money is useless without life.

However, the core guards within the Ten Great Families were quite loyal and generally would not make decisions to betray their clans.

Yu Jiao had initially been overjoyed to hear voices outside and was about to cry out, but hearing their conversation made her hesitate. These two men showed little loyalty to her family. If they decided to act on their base desires here, violate her, and then kill her, no one would ever know!

As the two men gradually walked away, a desolate expression crossed Yu Jiao's face. Her mind wrestled with the dilemma: should she call out or not?

Perhaps... even if they weren't loyal to her family, they might not dare do anything to her. After all, violating and then killing her would bring no benefit, only constant fear. If they saved her, they might even receive a reward from the family...

But... if she called out to them now, they would certainly know she overheard their conversation... In a moment of panic, murder to silence witnesses was a distinct possibility!

For a time, her thoughts were chaotic, and she could not decide what to do.

Had she retained her old, carefree, arrogant personality, she would have certainly begun shouting by now. But having learned a hard lesson from the incident with Chen Feng, she had begun to overthink things and hesitate.

"To heck with it, if they leave, who knows when I'll get out of here!" Yu Jiao finally made up her mind. But even if she stopped them, she couldn't go out looking like this—what was the difference between her current appearance and being naked? Wouldn't that just invite trouble?

In desperation, she steeled her heart and turned her gaze toward the 'dead man' in front of her.

It’s his fault for kidnapping me; it’s not inappropriate for me to wear his clothes, she thought silently, quickly stripping off her own garments and moving to disrobe the 'dead man'!

In truth, Chen Feng’s clothes were large enough that she could have simply slipped them on over her own. However, seeing the wrecked state of her own dress, stained with Chen Feng’s blood, she felt a wave of revulsion. Since she was dealing with a 'dead man,' there was nothing to be secretive about, so she discarded every piece of her attire.

In this world, there were no undergarments, so when Yu Jiao removed her tattered dress, she was naturally left completely bare...

……………………………………………………………………

Chen Feng looked into the mirror. The girl's snowy twin mounds trembled as they shook, the two small, lovely pink points beckoning an urge to place them in his mouth. A flush of shame crossed his face.

His soul had been trapped within the Soul-Binding Bow, completely unaware of what was happening outside. She was stripping off her own clothes, and now she was trying to strip him! A wave of disgust washed over him... Did she intend to him?

But a man who is dead is flaccid... How could he be assaulted?

Yet, the thought that this woman might attempt to 'molest' him extinguished any flicker of interest he might have had. He quickly asked, "Xiao Rou... how can I get out?"

Xiao Rou had no idea what this person intended, but his appearance suggested ill intent! She even thought, even if this woman is interested in Brother Chen Feng, must she be this eager?

That is how a woman in love is; because she liked Chen Feng, she assumed everyone else in the world must like him too.

Her cheeks were flushed a lovely red. She lowered her head and said, "You are the master of the Soul-Binding Bow now. Just think of leaving, and you can return to your body immediately!"

"Oh..." Chen Feng replied. Seeing Xiao Rou's current state, he quickly explained to avoid misunderstanding: "I have nothing to do with this woman..."

"I know!" Xiao Rou said, waving her hand. The image in the mirror vanished—no longer seeing Yu Jiao's naked form, she felt no more embarrassment. "Hurry and go out, or else you two will..."

"..." Cold sweat beaded on Chen Feng's forehead. What kind of predicament was this? His soul was sucked into this realm, and outside, someone was plotting against his body—how infuriating!

Thinking of leaving, his vision spun, and his soul instantly returned to his body.

"What are you doing?"

Soul returned, Chen Feng had no time to ponder. He yelled out, not daring to open his eyes, and shoved forward toward the direction of her shoulder, intending to push Yu Jiao away.

Yu Jiao never expected the 'dead man' to suddenly revive. Just as she was about to pull off his outer robe, she jumped in shock at the sudden shout.

Instinct dictates that anyone crouched down will try to stand up when startled, and Yu Jiao was no exception. But before she could fully rise, a pair of large hands pushed toward her. However, because she was already standing up, the hands that were meant for her shoulder landed with uncanny precision directly onto the two white, soft mounds on her chest!

"Ah..." Yu Jiao felt a sudden warmth engulf her breasts as both hands grasped them firmly. In her panic, she let out a sharp cry, losing her balance and tumbling backward.

Her fall was significant, but she was still clutching Chen Feng’s garment!

And so...

"Riiip..." A crisp sound tore the cloth apart. Chen Feng, affected by her sudden momentum, also lost his footing and pitched forward!

Realistically, given Chen Feng's cultivation, even if an elephant were in front of him, he wouldn't budge an inch. But at this moment, his soul had only just returned to his body, and moreover, he had just touched that spot again...

Damn it, even Chen Feng, if he were stupider, would know where that place was...

Pitiable Chen Feng, a virgin in two lifetimes, touched something so exquisitely soft for the first time. His brain instantly crashed, and thus... he fell heavily!

In the moment of falling, he finally realized his impropriety and simultaneously cried out: "Ah..."

And so, this scene unfolded in the cave: a completely naked man was pressed down onto a completely naked woman, and furthermore...

The direction Chen Feng fell caused him to land precisely upon Yu Jiao's tender, soft peaks... and as he cried out, his mouth accidentally took the delicate redness of her right breast into his lips...

PS: What do you all think? Should Chen Feng break his virginity? Although he has no feelings for this woman, under these circumstances... Old Cliff himself finds it hard to resist... Sigh, Amitabha, what a sin, what a sin. Please pass a fair judgment, everyone. Chen Feng is a normal man, after all—a normal man who has consumed the Heavenly Dragon Yang Fruit, possesses the Innate Dou Ling Body, and has 'superpowers'...

Also, I hope everyone who enjoys peaceful harmony will quickly cast their monthly and recommendation votes. Old Cliff highly anticipates both! The more you cast, the more motivation I get, and the more excitement the writing will have, ho-ho... (To be continued.
