Chapter 49 – Affection Level Reset
Chapter 49 – Affection Level Reset
Not long after, Nangong Yue gradually woke up. As she opened her eyes, she felt a heavy weight on her body.
Looking down, she saw Lin Jichen lying on top of her, his head resting on her ample chest.
Moreover, her clothes were in disarray, exposing her body.
"Ah!"
Nangong Yue screamed and pushed Lin Jichen far away.
Lin Jichen flew out and landed face-first on the ground in a rather embarrassing position.
"-75!"
A small damage number floated up.
If Lin Jichen were awake, he would probably be scared out of his wits.
He only had 5 points of vitality left. The last time he was in such a dire situation was when he accidentally entered Leng Feiyan's bedchamber.
Now, even a twisted ankle could send Lin Jichen to his grave.
After pushing Lin Jichen away, Nangong Yue hurriedly tried to fix her clothes, but she found that they were all torn.
She thought she had lost her chastity and was heartbroken, squatting on the ground and crying her eyes out.
"Beast! Bastard! Lin Jichen, I hate you! Waaa..."
Nangong Yue cried and cursed, unable to believe that the junior brother she liked would take advantage of her in such a despicable way.
Thinking of this, she cried even harder.
[Ding! Nangong Yue's affection level for you has dropped to zero!]
Lin Jichen had no idea what was happening and remained unconscious.
After crying for a long time, Nangong Yue's emotions finally stabilized a bit.
"Get out of my sight! I never want to see you again in this lifetime!" Nangong Yue said resolutely.
However, she noticed that Lin Jichen was still lying on the ground, motionless.
At first, she thought he was pretending to be asleep, but gradually she realized something was wrong.
Although her clothes were torn, her body didn't feel uncomfortable, and her undergarments were untouched.
On the contrary, Lin Jichen lay motionless in the mud at a distance.
This didn't seem like someone pretending to be asleep.
Growing suspicious, Nangong Yue carefully recalled everything that happened before she lost consciousness. She remembered what Lin Jichen had said to her.
"Senior Sister, hold on, I'll find an antidote for you!"
Nangong Yue's expression changed as she looked towards the well and the ground beside her, both showing signs of a Yin Thunder explosion.
She seemed to understand something and quickly ran to the well, looking down.
As someone in the Crystal Realm, she could naturally sense the presence of a formation inside.
Nangong Yue finally realized the truth and hurried to Lin Jichen's side.
She found that he was barely breathing, with a large, conspicuous hole in his back, showing signs of Yin energy burns.
The truth was revealed.
Tears welled up in Nangong Yue's eyes again.
"Junior Brother... I wronged you..."
Her face was full of guilt.
She had thought Lin Jichen took advantage of her, ruining her purity.
The truth was that Lin Jichen had risked his life to save her, entering the Yin formation to find an antidote and getting severely injured in the process, with Yin energy invading his body.
Feeling deeply remorseful, Nangong Yue quickly helped Lin Jichen up, took out an elixir from her storage ring, and fed it to him.
His vitality was restored, but Lin Jichen still didn't wake up.
Nangong Yue checked and found that the Yin energy in his body was too overwhelming for the elixir to wake him up.
Having no other options, the anxious Nangong Yue decided to return to the sect to seek the Sect Master's help.
Before that, she took out a new set of clothes from her ring and changed right next to Lin Jichen, too anxious to feel embarrassed.
Unfortunately, Lin Jichen missed the sight, seeing nothing.
After changing, Nangong Yue carried Lin Jichen on her back, mounted her sword, and flew swiftly towards the sect!
Nangong Yue traveled through the night and finally returned to the Sword Sect at dawn.
By this time, she was almost exhausted, having carried Lin Jichen and flown at full speed without regard for her mana consumption.
But she gritted her teeth and persisted, flying directly into the mountain gate.
Many players saw her.
"Isn't that the fairy NPC from yesterday?"
"Lin Jichen is with her! Damn, he's being carried by my goddess!"
"Not carried, she's got him on her back."
"What happened? Lin the Great seems to have passed out."
"How come he gets to be so close to the NPC? I want that treatment too!"
...
Not only the players but also other NPC disciples in the sect were whispering among themselves.
Nangong Yue had no time to care about the rumors below, flying past the outer temple and heading straight for the inner temple.
In the inner temple plaza.
All the inner temple disciples were still attending their usual classes.
Suddenly, a streak of light flew past.
The disciples all looked up, stunned.
Even Senior Brother Chu Tianhan, sitting at the front, seemed dumbfounded, staring blankly at the streak of light in the sky.
"Am I seeing things?"
"Why is Junior Sister Nangong carrying a man?"
"That guy looks familiar."
"Isn't he the Sect Master's disciple, Lin Jichen?"
"How can Junior Sister be so close to him? This is outrageous, Senior Brother..."
Chu Tianhan's face turned as dark as water, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves, veins bulging on his neck.
Especially the jealousy in his eyes, burning like a fiery mountain.
The teaching Elder Tianjian was also somewhat surprised and spoke slowly.
"Yue'er, why aren't you attending class?"
Hearing the elder's question, Nangong Yue quickly replied, "Yue'er and Junior Brother were on a mission to exterminate demons. Junior Brother was struck by Yin Thunder while saving me, and Yin energy invaded his body. I'm seeking the Sect Master's help. I won't be attending class today. Please understand, Elder Tianjian."
Elder Tianjian smiled and said, "No need to go. The Sect Master is not in the sect at the moment."
Nangong Yue was disappointed but quickly thought of Elder Tianjian.
"Then please, Elder Tianjian, help save Junior Brother. He's been unconscious for a day."
Elder Tianjian shook his head with a smile, "It's not that I can't help."
"Why not? Elder Tianjian, you're so powerful. How can you not handle a bit of Yin energy?"
Elder Tianjian laughed, "It's not that I can't help, but it's inconvenient."
"Why?" Nangong Yue was puzzled.
"You're carrying a man. If your grandfather knew I helped him privately, he might blame me. That old man is known for being protective. I don't want to be scolded by him."
Hearing this, Nangong Yue's face turned red with embarrassment. She stomped her foot, both ashamed and angry.
"My grandfather wouldn't be so unreasonable. Junior Brother got hurt saving me. My grandfather would only thank him."
"Not necessarily. Your grandfather might not approve of him as a grandson-in-law."
"Ugh! Elder Tianjian, you're always joking. I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to find my grandfather!"
Nangong Yue said, summoning her flying sword again and heading towards another immortal mountain!
Lin Jichen didn't know how long he had been unconscious. When he woke up, he found himself lying on a simple bed in a clean room.
The first thing he did after waking up was check his status. His innate attributes hadn't dropped, indicating he wasn't dead.
His vitality was also full.
Phew!
As long as he wasn't dead.
Lin Jichen finally felt relieved. During his unconsciousness, he was most afraid of getting hurt and dying.
Now it seemed that he hadn't taken any damage after passing out. Nangong Yue had protected him well~
