The next second, he quickly turned his head away.
"Damn! I've messed up! What should I do!? Judging from the situation, it looks like she had just cleaned her wounds, bathed, and climbed up the reef."
"And then… I electrocuted her."
"Damn… Damn… It's all the moonlight's fault. Why did it have to reflect off the water right then?" Yang Yunhai cursed himself a hundred times in his heart, his mind racing.
"The wound on her shoulder, it's pretty serious. There are also bloodstains on her waist and thighs. Looks like she was being chased by a soul beast and got scratched by bushes while escaping."
"The main issue is, falling into the water like that must've reopened her wounds. If I don't do something, she might lose too much blood, or worse, the blood might flow downstream and attract more soul beasts. That could be a huge problem. Plus, the water's cold at night,soaking too long in it isn't good either. And I don't even know when or if she'll wake up."
"From my earlier check, it seems like there's no one within several hundred meters. That means… she's alone."
"Maybe I should wait a little to see if she wakes up?" Yang Yunhai finally decided to observe for a while.
"This is so absurd. But she's really pretty..."
He couldn't help glancing again.
She had a stunning figure, long flowing hair, fair skin, a beautiful face, a slim waist, and long legs,every feature perfectly aligned with his tastes.
For three whole years, he had eaten dog food watching Tang San and Xiao Wu's public displays of affection at Nuoding Academy. Saying he wasn't jealous or envious would be a lie.
And in his past life, he was single the whole time.
"This is just too much,how is a man supposed to endure this?"
So, after being reborn into the world of Douluo Continent, he trained hard with the goal of solving this lifelong problem. Not to mention, many beautiful girls would appear in the upcoming Continental Soul Master Tournament.
As a handsome guy who had already joined Spirit Hall, he knew he had little chance with girls like Ning Rongrong or Zhu Zhuqing. But Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, or someone from Tianshui Academy...
Flirting with one of them? He felt he had a shot.
As for strength, he didn't think he was lacking anymore. He was confident he could stand out in the Soul Master Tournament and attract the attention of many girls. As for looks, that wasn't even a problem.
He just looked a little too pretty-boy right now.
But that was easily fixable. Once he found the right academy, he'd build a more masculine physique.
Thinking this, a dozen seconds quickly passed.
Still, no movement from under the waterfall.
"That's not right," Yang Yunhai frowned slightly. He couldn't resist looking back,the girl was floating near the reef, her head resting on a stone, drifting with the current but not sinking.
"My lightning wasn't even close-range! It shouldn't have had that much power! Even the fish have recovered."
"Could it be... she already had internal injuries? And the shock just worsened them?"
The thought changed his expression. "Damn!" He immediately leapt into the pool.
Soul masters usually don't get sick because their soul power protects their bodies. But if they suffer internal injuries and the soul power circulation is disrupted, that protection weakens.
If left untreated, it could get really serious!
"She's been soaking in cold water for so long,don't tell me something actually happened!" With that, he dove in.
He didn't care about anything else and quickly carried her ashore, running to the nearby reef where towels and clothes were laid out,he had noticed them earlier.
Too bad they weren't left on the nearby grass, or he might have discovered her earlier when he was using Blue Silver Grass to explore.
"She even has soul tools? So she's a little rich girl? Could she be from a noble family?" He looked at the girl's earlobes,he could clearly sense soul power fluctuations from the earrings.
Rustling slightly, Yang Yunhai, relying on sheer willpower, quickly helped dress her using the clothes on the reef.
He also figured out the situation: she was just severely exhausted. Her body was already weak and tired, plus she was injured. After falling, she had passed out into a deep sleep.
It reminded him of his past life,playing basketball under the sun for two hours, then passing out on his bed right after showering.
While thinking, he hopped up the waterfall and ran back to where he left his pack, laid her down, and gathered dry branches to start a fire.
Since he had already decided to save her, he didn't care if the fire would attract soul beasts. It was only a century soul beast territory,if they came, so be it. He wasn't scared.
Soon, the fire was lit. Yang Yunhai ran back to the base of the waterfall to collect the fish that hadn't been swept away.
Saving someone was one thing,but he still needed to eat.
After returning, he tossed the fish aside and quickly helped the girl sit properly in front of the fire so her body could absorb as much warmth as possible.
The next moment, he channeled soul power into her body.
He activated his soul bone skill from his right leg: "Wildfire can't destroy it, the spring wind brings it back to life." His spiritual power wasn't strong enough yet to fully control its effects on others, but ever since absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone and undergoing both bloodline and martial spirit evolution, his soul power had gained significant healing properties.
His martial spirit now carried a life attribute.
Moreover, he had already learned how to suppress his martial spirit's lightning attribute, ensuring the energy wouldn't harm her body.
"Hopefully, you're not the spoiled princess type and won't try to kill yourself when you wake up," he muttered while treating her, glancing at her delicate features.
Although the electrocution was unintentional, it was still his doing. And what followed... this was the feudal world of Douluo Continent,given what had already happened, if he had to take responsibility, he would.
Of course, a big part of that was because she was pretty. If she were ugly, he would've healed her and run away. He admitted it,he judged by appearance and was motivated by beauty.
Girls liked tall, rich, and handsome guys. Guys liked fair-skinned, beautiful girls with long legs. Who wasn't a bit shallow?
As for her background, he believed his strength could overcome any family obstacle. The only two uncertainties were whether she'd accept him and what kind of personality she had.
If she rejected him outright, they'd just go their separate ways. He definitely wasn't dying to prove anything.
If her personality was difficult,well, that wasn't too bad either.
With five thousand years of wisdom in his heart and countless "keyboard warrior" tactics in his brain, he didn't believe he couldn't win her over.
Especially in the Douluo world.
They didn't call it "Love Continent" for nothing.
"So… what if she already has a boyfriend? Hmm… probably not, right?"
"She doesn't seem very old…" He couldn't help but glance down. "Though… some parts of her really developed early."
That reminded him of Zhu Zhuqing from the original story,young, but with an extremely mature figure.
"Hmm?" His expression suddenly shifted. Looking down again, he muttered, "Could it be? No way, right? The original didn't mention Zhu Zhuqing wearing soul tools."
"But… soul tool storage items are widely sold even in smaller cities in the Star Luo Empire. With her identity, it's unlikely she doesn't have one. Besides, without soul tools, she wouldn't be able to carry much. Why would she travel alone otherwise? Earrings… covered by long hair,that's possible."
"Eh, whatever. Let's wait until she wakes up. We'll take it one step at a time." He shook his head and stopped overthinking.
He didn't check the items in her soul tool either. Prying into a lady's personal belongings was extremely rude.
And there was no need.
It wouldn't change anything anyway.
Not long after, he sensed that her wounds had fully healed. Since he had done everything else, he didn't mind doing a little more. He gently cleaned off the dead scabs to confirm that no scars remained.
After that, he laid her down and began roasting the fish.
Once he was full and had packed up, he saw that she still hadn't woken up. He quietly sat back and began to meditate.
