Zu'an was delighted to hear this. He had been worried for so long, but it turned out the girl had a soft heart, which made things much easier.
"Okay," he readily agreed.
Hearing the sound of water flowing from the other side, he couldn't help but wonder whether he should sneak a peek, or whether he was acting like a beast, or worse than a beast.
The image of the girl's white, jade-like body in the water flashed through Zu An's mind. He felt a heat on his nose and touched it, only to find it was covered in bright red blood.
Damn, I'm getting a nosebleed!
Zuan couldn't help but sigh, after taking a few Marrow Cleansing Pills, his previously weak body seemed to have become much more energetic.
Ah~
Suddenly, the girl let out a scream. Zu An maliciously speculated that it might be some cliché scene of being bitten by a poisonous snake. He thought, "Then I wouldn't mind making a sacrifice and personally sucking out the venom for her with my mouth."
But the next moment his expression changed, because he felt a violent tremor, as if a train was rushing in his direction.
"Run!"
A cool, soft little hand grabbed his arm and pulled him quickly towards the center of the water. The next moment, the large black rock they had just been on was smashed into pieces, and then a huge body appeared there, roaring at the two people in the water.
"Is this a rhinoceros?" Zuan was shocked. This rhinoceros was as big as an elephant. Did all the animals in this world grow up eating fertilizer? And its eyes were so red. Could it have mad cow disease?
"It's called the Red-Eyed Rhinoceros, a fourth-grade ferocious beast. It has a very poor sense of smell and an extremely irritable temper. It often attacks any target it sees without any reason," a delicate voice explained.
Zuan turned around and saw the girl's face clearly. She had bangs on her forehead and two strands of hair that fell to the sides of her face, which made her small, delicate face even more prominent. Her clear peach blossom eyes, combined with the collagen in her face, gave her an invincible youthful aura.
More importantly, she didn't seem to be properly dressed.
Noticing his gaze, the girl subconsciously lowered her head and exclaimed, "Ah~!" This made the violent rhinoceros on the shore even more agitated.
"Turn around quickly!" The girl's voice was trembling with tears.
"Don't cry, I'll turn around." Zu An turned around. For some reason, the girl's soft and sweet voice prevented him from having any evil thoughts—of course, given his current physical condition, it would be a miracle if he could even have evil thoughts.
The girl clutched her chest tightly with both hands, lowered her head, and whispered, "Thank you~"
Zuan asked, "Where are your clothes?"
"On...on the shore."
A slender, lotus-root-like arm extended from behind, pointing towards the vicinity of the large rock, and the girl's timid voice rang out.
"What do we do about that mad rhinoceros that's been there all along? Should we go and drive it away together?" Zu'an asked, his mind testing the waters to see what level of cultivation the other party was at.
However, the fact that a mere fourth-grade rhinoceros has frightened her so much suggests that even if her cultivation level is high, it is still limited.
"The Red-Eyed Rhinoceros has very thick skin; even a fourth-grade cultivator would find it difficult to harm it." The girl shook her head slightly.
“I could give it a try,” Zuan said. With that dagger that was sure to kill if touched, it seemed to be surprisingly effective against monsters with high defense and low attack. He could take this opportunity to pretend to be a master and intimidate her, so she wouldn’t pursue the matter from what had just happened.
"No...no need, it'll be done soon," the girl replied.
"???"
Just as Zuan was feeling confused, he suddenly noticed that the red-eyed rhinoceros on the shore was shaking its head incessantly, as if it were drunk. Its steps became unsteady, and after a while, it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"You did this?" Zu An felt his throat go dry and couldn't help but swallow. Could this little girl be pretending to be weak to deceive others?
The girl nodded and said, "I just put some medicine on the big black rock. It rushed over and smashed the rock, naturally absorbing the medicine powder."
"What kind of medicine is so potent that it took down such a big guy?" Zuan clicked his tongue in amazement, then suddenly felt something was amiss. "Why did you put medicine on the Great Black Rock?"
"I...I...I'm worried..." the girl stammered, her voice growing softer and softer, "I'm worried you...are peeping, but don't worry, it's just a sleeping potion, it's not poisonous."
Zuan gasped. If such a big guy had fallen, wouldn't he have been unconscious for a month if he hadn't been a little restless?
"Can you close your eyes now? I need to get dressed," came the girl's timid voice, as if she were making an unreasonable request.
"Of course." Zu'an immediately smiled. There was no cursing of the pervert or shouting for violence as expected. There was only gentleness and a lot of embarrassment. Are all the women in this world this cute?
However, thinking of Xue'er's quick wit, he immediately dismissed the idea.
Seeing that he had already closed his eyes, the girl swam towards the shore.
Hearing the sound of water rippling, Zuan quietly opened his tightly closed eyes a crack. These eyes had worked so hard for so many years, how could he not take advantage of them now that he had the chance?
The girl appeared like a mermaid, her slender and graceful body appearing and disappearing in the water.
When she swam to the shore, Zuan couldn't help but feel excited: Time to get dressed!
Suddenly, the girl waved her hand, and a curtain of water rose from the surface, obscuring her graceful figure.
Zuan immediately flew into a rage: "Who are you trying to protect yourself from? Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"
After a while, the water curtain finally dissipated, and the girl was dressed. She waved to the center of the river and said, "I'm dressed now, you can open your eyes."
