Chapter 69: Teacher Shen Takes Action

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Teacher Shen Takes Action

Gu Yihan was extremely clever, and having witnessed the power of Yin-Yang Harmony firsthand the night before, she instantly understood Lin Ji’s meaning and recognized Shen Manyun’s predicament.

As the Deputy Captain, she immediately demonstrated strong execution in this critical moment.

"Tang Ling, you and Yurou go guard the perimeter!"

Gu Yihan wiped away her tears, stood up, and her gaze instantly turned sharp.

"Tao Tao, you’re responsible for taking care of Qingyue."

"No one is allowed to turn around or come over to disturb us, no matter what sounds you hear!"

"Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the team!"

Seeing Gu Yihan’s stern expression, Tang Ling and Lin Yurou quickly nodded in fear.

They obediently retreated about ten meters away with their weapons, turning their backs to the scene to begin their watch.

Bai Taotao also dutifully covered Su Qingyue’s eyes and turned around herself.

After arranging everything, Gu Yihan knelt beside Lin Ji once more.

She glanced at Shen Manyun, who was still hesitating, her face flushed red.

"Teacher Shen, what kind of time is this to still worry about face?"

Gu Yihan lowered her voice, a hint of urgency and frustration in her tone.

"If you keep dawdling, the Captain really will lose his life!"

"I... I know... but..."

Shen Manyun was so anxious she was nearly in tears. Looking at Lin Ji lying half on the ground, she gestured with her hands in the air for a long moment.

"But the Captain is so badly injured right now... he can’t move at all."

"I... I’ve never taken the initiative before... I don’t know how to do it..."

Shen Manyun’s shame-filled confession instantly made the atmosphere somewhat suggestive.

At this awkward moment, the half-conscious Lin Ji suddenly let out a weak laugh.

His burning gaze fixed on Shen Manyun’s nearly exposed neckline as he said hoarsely:

"Don’t be afraid..."

"You... yourself..."

"If it really doesn’t work..."

Lin Ji turned to look at Gu Yihan beside him.

"Yihan... help her."

Hearing Lin Ji’s explicit words, Gu Yihan’s face instantly flushed crimson.

But when she saw Lin Ji’s weakened state—he could go into shock from blood loss at any moment—her embarrassment was instantly replaced by heartache and urgency.

"Alright... I understand."

Gu Yihan gritted her teeth and turned to look at the still-hesitant Shen Manyun.

Without any further words, she directly reached out and grasped Shen Manyun’s slender waist.

...

Behind a shrub about ten meters away from Lin Ji and the others.

Tang Ling, Su Qingyue, and the other two were facing away from the scene, responsible for perimeter security.

Although there was occasional rustling from mutated poisonous insects crawling nearby, at this moment, the three girls’ attention was completely captured by the sounds coming from behind.

Although Gu Yihan had given a strict order not to look back, the unrestrained sounds, filled with a certain special rhythm, still drifted over intermittently with the sea breeze.

"Teacher Shen... seems to be in a lot of pain..."

Bai Taotao covered her flushed little face, her large eyes sparkling with curiosity and innocence as she whispered.

"Captain brother is so badly injured. Teacher Shen must be using a lot of effort to treat him, right?"

Hearing this innocent remark, Tang Ling’s face flushed as red as a ripe tomato.

Although she was an engineering girl who only knew how to forge metal, she wasn’t a fool!

Those suppressed, shameful yet somewhat irresistible gasps—how could that possibly be some proper Skill treatment!

Recalling the scene she had accidentally stumbled upon outside the Captain’s cabin on the second floor yesterday, Tang Ling felt her mouth go dry, and her thighs, wrapped in work pants, unconsciously rubbed together.

"Ahem... Tao Tao, don’t make wild guesses. Teacher Shen was just exerting all her strength to channel her power."

Tang Ling tried to feign composure, but her evasive eyes betrayed the panic in her heart.

Meanwhile, Lin Yurou, standing nearby, blushed so deeply that even the nape of her neck turned red.

She tightly clutched the hem of her skirt, her mind involuntarily replaying the scene from this morning in the Captain’s cabin, where Lin Ji had teased Gu Yihan.

Could it be... that Captain is doing that kind of thing to Teacher Shen right now?

And in broad daylight, out in the wild?

At this thought, Lin Yurou felt her heart pounding wildly.

An indescribable, peculiar emotion began to spread uncontrollably within her.

It took a full half-hour.

Only then did the blush-inducing commotion behind them gradually subside.

By this time, Lin Ji seemed to have undergone a baptism of rebirth.

The terrifying knife wound on his chest, which had been deep enough to reveal bone and even glimpse internal organs, miraculously stopped bleeding under the infusion of vast and pure life energy from the Yin-Yang Harmony.

It even began to sprout granulation tissue and scab over at a visible rate!

The feeling of weakness, as if his life force had been drained and he was about to plunge into an abyss, vanished completely.

In its place was an unprecedented sense of fullness and strength!

Beside him.

Shen Manyun lay disheveled on the grass.

Her face was flushed, strands of hair on her forehead damp with sweat and clinging to her cheeks.

Her body trembled slightly, and her gold-rimmed glasses had been tossed aside.

She seemed less intellectual than usual, exuding instead a delicate, alluring vulnerability.

Shen Manyun kept her eyes closed, breathing rapidly.

In truth, she wasn’t truly asleep—it was just that the psychological impact of the past half-hour had been too overwhelming.

The mingling of shame and pleasure left her utterly unsure how to face everyone now.

She could only feign sleep to escape this awkward situation.

Hearing the commotion behind them finally cease, the girls who had been keeping watch in the distance could no longer hold back and hurried over.

"Boss! You’re alive?"

Seeing that Lin Ji was not only sitting up but that his fatal wound had miraculously healed, Tang Ling rushed over excitedly and threw her arms around his neck.

Bai Taotao also threw herself into Lin Ji’s arms, her eyes welling with tears.

"Wah... Captain, I thought you were going to..."

Lin Yurou followed closely behind.

However, being a recent addition and naturally timid, she didn’t dare to throw herself at him like Tang Ling and the others.

She simply stood to the side, twisting the hem of her clothes in her hands, her delicate face filled with joy at seeing Lin Ji safe and sound.

Lin Ji smiled and patted Tang Ling and Bai Taotao, who were clinging to him, sending them away.

His gaze fell on Su Qingyue, who was leaning against a tree trunk not far away.

Su Qingyue still maintained her cold and haughty demeanor, but she tightly covered her chest with both hands.

However, her pale complexion and the trace of blood lingering at the corner of her mouth betrayed her current weakness.

If she hadn’t desperately blocked the attack with her frost shield earlier,

Lin Ji might not have even had the chance to use [Yin-Yang Harmony] and would have been split in two directly.

Without wasting words,

Lin Ji walked straight up to Su Qingyue.
