After his words, Lady Yu Ji was left speechless.
She glared at Chen Hai with such intensity that it seed as if flas might spurt from her beautiful eyes.
For soone at her level of power, the great karma of a life-saving debt, if not resolved, indeed had a considerable impact on the advancent of her strength.
So people would resort to slaughter to sever their karmic ties, but though this thod could indeed break the bonds, it would also give rise to inner demons.
Lady Yu Ji, who had her wounds treated by Chen Hai and was force-fed nurous healing pills, had woken up much improved from her previously unconscious and weakened state.
Chen Hai had indeed helped her, and that was a fact. Perhaps it didn’t qualify as saving her life, but it certainly was a great favor.
For Lady Yu Ji, if she were a bit more rational, she would know that the best way to sever this karmic tie was not to clash with Chen Hai but to offer him so benefits to send him on his way.
However, the very thought of Chen Hai stripping her clothes to tend to her wounds, she was overco with a mix of sha and anger, filled with simring resentnt.
Under such circumstances, how could she remain calm or rational?
Seeing that Lady Yu Ji was only staring intently at him without any other action, the grim expression on Chen Hai’s face slightly eased.
He scrutinized Lady Yu Ji for a mont before smiling indifferently and saying, "On the identity token, there are the characters ’Yu Ji.’ May I ask if that is your na?"
"Not a bad na, and you are quite beautiful, but it’s just your disposition that needs so improvent."
"Your current anger stems from thinking that I’ve taken advantage of you, having seen your unclothed body."
"We, the followers of the Immortal Path, regard the physical body as rely a shell. Why fuss over such minor details? If you can’t even see through this, I really have to wonder how you’ve been cultivating. Have you ever refined your ntal state?"
"You don’t even consider that if I truly wished to take advantage of soone vulnerable, not to ntion when you were unconscious before, even now as you’ve awakened, could you have stopped ?"
Without agreeing or disagreeing, Chen Hai curled his lips and continued, "Although Chen is not so pedantic gentleman, I also disdain taking advantage of others in peril."
"To speak frankly, you were lucky it was you encountered."
"If it had been soone with sinister intentions who accidentally stumbled into this cave and found you critically injured, re death would have been the least of your worries. If luck turned sour, you would probably find death elusive."
"If you still feel I’ve wronged you and want to take responsibility, no problem at all. I’ll just take you into my house."
"Although I don’t like your temperant, if it’s just about making you a concubine, I suppose I can accept that begrudgingly!"
Chen Hai’s remarks nearly made Lady Yu Ji’s lungs explode with fury.
It was only because she was severely injured and montarily unable to mobilize any strength that she didn’t imdiately slap Chen Hai dead without a second word.
"I, Yu Ji, have road freely all my life, yet to think that I would fall into the hands of such a despicable man like you..." She let out a long sigh facing the sky, and Yu Ji, who had only just regained consciousness from her serious injuries, was overwheld by anger and frustration and fainted once again.
"An absurd woman. To help her, I’ve put in so much effort, and it seems I’m still in the wrong."
"The prettier the woman, the more troubleso. This saying really holds true!"
"Trying to be a good person, sotis, is truly difficult!" Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Hai fell silent.
He truly considered simply walking away and leaving this woman to her fate.
"Fainting at the slightest thing, already so injured, and she still thought about attacking earlier. Won, I really don’t understand what goes on in their minds!"
"As the old saying goes, ’Won and villains are hard to raise.’ There’s really so truth to it."
"It’s just that I, Chen, am kind and benevolent, often struggling with a saintly heart. I can’t bear to see such a beautiful woman perish here. Otherwise, I’d be loath to care about you!"
Hesitating for a mont, Chen Hai sighed inwardly and muttered to himself.
In a corner of the cave, he leaned against the wall and sat down, leaving a strand of his divine sense on guard all around.
Remaining in this place, he was rely on alert, to prevent outsiders or so other potentially dangerous critters like snakes, insects, rats, and ants from intruding here.
As for healing Lady Yu Ji? He couldn’t be bothered to play the good Samaritan and do such thankless work.
Ti slipped away peacefully, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
Lady Yu Ji, who had been unconscious, had long since awakened.
Her complexion had cald down quite a bit. Seeing Chen Hai, who had deliberately kept his distance and had been silently guarding the vicinity, her expression was sowhat complicated, but she didn’t say much.
Over the past few days, she had been sitting cross-legged, healing and recuperating.
Of course, with a man and a woman sharing a room, Chen Hai’s situation was naturally under her occasional scrutiny.
"That guy, aside from his sowhat unpleasant speech, doesn’t seem to have any bad intentions."
"The reason he stripped the clothes from my body was to help treat my wounds, and he didn’t take the opportunity to do anything inappropriate."
"Perhaps, I really did misunderstand him before!"
When a woman is angry, no matter how you explain it to her, you’re in the wrong.
But when she calms down and reflects on it alone, many things beco crystal clear.
The Lady Yu Ji before him was a pri example. Every ti she erged from ditation, her gaze would fall straight onto Chen Hai in the not-too-distant corner.
Before this, no matter what angle she viewed Chen Hai from, she found sothing displeasing about him.
But now, she felt that the man before her wasn’t as bad as she had imagined.
Especially after seeing him stay silent and patiently watching over her these past few days, Lady Yu Ji even felt a slight touch of emotion in her heart.
Initially, she thought of quickly recovering from her injuries so that once she regained so strength, she would risk birthing a heart devil just to sever this karmic tie and directly kill Chen Hai.
But a woman’s face can be as changeable as the weather in March.
Feeling that Chen Hai wasn’t as bad as she imagined and that their previous conflicts were just misunderstandings, Lady Yu Ji had already discarded that thought from her mind.
"Young Lady, your wounds have healed a lot, and you’ve regained so strength. My continued guard here is aningless."
"In that case, Chen will take his leave. Take care!"
Chen Hai, standing in the corner, had already risen to his feet.
The realm of a Quasi-Saint is far superior to that of a Heavenly Immortal.
What level of cultivator Lady Yu Ji belonged to was sothing Chen Hai could never quite figure out.
He rely knew that the injured Lady Yu Ji from before surely couldn’t beat him.
At this mont, the Lady Yu Ji who had just awakened from her ditation emanated an indescribable sense of shock and apprehension for him.
The thought just crossed his mind that if their past animosity had been unpleasant and she, having recovered so of her strength, was no longer an opponent he could handle—if she wished to settle the score with him after the fact...
This idea barely surfaced when Chen Hai already felt restless.
He couldn’t even bother with the matter of repaying a lifesaving debt; what he wanted now was to escape from this place as fast as he could.
After greeting Lady Yu Ji, who was looking toward him, Chen Hai strode towards the passage that connected the cave with the outside mine.
