"Miss, it's terrible, someone's peeping at you bathing!"
Huang Yiyun was at a critical moment in her cultivation when suddenly her handmaid's voice shattered her concentration!
"Pfft!"
Her pretty face instantly turned as hot as molten lava, a mouthful of blood spurted out, hitting the water and steaming up immediately!
Her cultivation technique was unconventional and extreme, and she had come to the Ice Spirit Spring to suppress the instability of her mind. The sudden disturbance nearly drove her to cultivation deviation!
"Damn it!" Even with her body seriously injured, Huang Yiyun had to open her eyes. She was determined to see who was bold enough to spy on her bathing!
"Which lascivious scoundrel is it!"
Across the water, amidst the reeds, Su Mu's eyes bulged as he locked gazes with Huang Yiyun, completely dumbstruck.
"Couldn't this discovery be any more timely?" Just a breath later and he could have escaped. How could he be caught at such a critical moment?
"This is the end." Su Mu wailed inwardly, knowing Huang Yiyun had seen his face. It was like being caught with his pants down, guilty even if not.
At first glance, Huang Yiyun was stunned, then disbelief flashed across her face, followed by raging fury.
"Su Mu!"
"You bastard, you're actually not dead!"
Blinded by rage and not caring about her state of undress, she charged out to strike at Su Mu, intent on avenging her sister!
"You drove my sister mad and now you dare to peep at me, you lascivious scoundrel!"
Su Mu watched Huang Yiyun charge at him, dumbfounded by her figure... and then, jolted by her roar, he bitterly smiled inside. He was innocent; he was just cultivating here, unaware she would come.
He couldn't strike his own niece, so he had to flee, hoping to explain later.
"Still running!" Huang Yiyun's eyes blazed with fury. He had driven her sister mad, spied on her bathing, and now he wanted to escape? No way!
"Splash!"
Huang Yiyun skimmed the water like a dragonfly, rapidly catching up to Su Mu.
"Damn, how did this girl get so strong?" Su Mu was shocked. He hadn't interacted much with Huang Yiyun and only knew her as playful and elusive, never expecting her to be so powerful.
"Junrou never mentioned her talent being this high."
As Huang Yiyun drew closer, Su Mu stopped thinking and sped up his escape. If he could just grab his clothes, he'd head to the deepest part of the Beast Mountain Range, where she wouldn't follow.
"Pfft!"
Hearing the noise, Su Mu turned to see Huang Yiyun coughing up blood, her aura plummeting as she fell into the water!
"Yiyun!" Su Mu's face paled, and without a thought for running or clothes, he rushed to fish Huang Yiyun out of the water.
"Ouch, it's so hot!" Huang Yiyun was unconscious, but her body was burning like hot iron.
"Did she suffer cultivation deviation? What technique is she cultivating?"
Checking her condition, Su Mu felt a chill. The handmaid's shout had almost caused Huang Yiyun to deviate. She should have suppressed it immediately, but her hasty action led to deviation.
"I must protect her heart vein, or it'll be too late." Calming down, Su Mu's hands moved swiftly, drawing the cold energy from the Ice Spirit Spring.
Instantly, a mist of ice formed in his hands, and frost covered his eyebrows.
"Yiyun, I'm sorry." Taking a deep breath, he placed his hand on her chest, channeling the cold energy into her heart vein.
"Hmph!" Huang Yiyun let out a muffled groan. She didn't wake, but her complexion began to improve.
"Ah!"
A piercing scream startled Su Mu, and looking up, he saw the handmaid pointing at him in disbelief.
"He, he's touching the miss..."
"You lascivious scoundrel, let go of the miss!"
The handmaid, furious, drew her sword to strike at Su Mu, who dared to defile her mistress – an unforgivable crime!
"Clang!"
Su Mu looked up and caught the sword between two fingers. The handmaid, only at the mid-stage of the Spiritual Agility Realm, posed no threat to him.
"I'm saving your miss. Do you want her to die?" Su Mu explained helplessly, the situation giving him a headache.
"Still making excuses!" The handmaid shouted angrily. His hand was on the miss's chest – how could that be saving her? She tried to pull her sword for another attack, but it was clamped tight, immovable even with all her strength.
The handmaid struggled desperately, ready to sacrifice her life to protect her mistress's honor. But her expression froze in shock as she stared at Su Mu.
"You, you, you're Young Master Su Mu!"
"You're not dead!"
Had she seen a ghost? Wasn't Young Master Su Mu dead for over half a month?
"I'm not dead. I'm saving your miss right now. Calm down," Su Mu said helplessly, releasing the sword.
The handmaid, still in shock, nodded subconsciously and stepped back. Realizing something was amiss, she immediately pointed her sword at Su Mu again.
"You lascivious scoundrel, you defiled one woman and now you want to defile another!"
"You beast!"
Su Mu rolled his eyes, unable to clear the misunderstanding.
"Take a good look at your miss!" He said, too tired to explain further.
The handmaid glanced at Huang Yiyun, her face changing dramatically as she dropped her sword in panic.
"What's wrong with the miss? What's happened to her? What do we do, if something happens to the miss, the Family Head will be devastated!"
"The elder miss was just found, if something happens to the younger miss..."

"Stop, stop, stop, step aside. If you keep shouting, Yiyun will really die!" Su Mu was exasperated as the handmaid, panic-stricken, stepped back, hands on her chest, praying fervently.
"Miss, you must be okay, you must be..."
Su Mu shook his head, again channeling cold energy into Huang Yiyun's heart vein. After several repetitions, her temperature finally dropped, her face pale but no longer feverish, still very weak.
"Bring a bottle of restorative elixir." He glanced at his clothes, too far away, and gestured to the handmaid.
The handmaid, flustered, handed over an elixir. Su Mu opened it and administered it to Huang Yiyun, who then regained a hint of color in her cheeks.
"Alright, help Yiyun get dressed." Su Mu wiped away beads of ice forming from sweat, handed Huang Yiyun to the handmaid, and then went to get dressed himself.
The handmaid, still uncertain, watched Su Mu's retreating back, then hurriedly carried Huang Yiyun ashore. Before dressing her, she checked to ensure her mistress was still pure, sighing in relief.
Thankfully, Su Mu didn't witness this scene, or he'd be utterly frustrated. What could he have done in such a short time?
After getting dressed, Su Mu intended to leave but decided to return, knowing Huang Yiyun was still seriously injured and the core area of the Beast Mountain Range was too dangerous.
"Mmm..." Huang Yiyun was slowly coming to.
"Miss, it's so good you're okay, you scared me to death just now." The handmaid cried with joy seeing Huang Yiyun open her eyes.
Huang Yiyun smiled weakly at the handmaid, her mind flashing back to the previous scene. Had she hallucinated due to cultivation deviation? Dead people couldn't come back to life.
"I'm fine, Little Huan, I thought I saw... Su Mu!" Huang Yiyun spoke weakly, and seeing Su Mu approach, she was shocked and shouted.
"Su Mu, you bastard!"
