Chapter 1697: Not What You Think

f."You..."Dugu Xiu hated to death, yet he was helpless.He checked the body carefully several times during the possession, finding nothing wrong. He didn't expect to be tricked in the end anyway."Alrig...Subsequently, Ye Bufan became increasingly aware of the gravity of the situation. He couldn't open his storage ring or the Dragon King Hall, which meant he couldn't retrieve any of his equipment.

"How is your own cultivation progressing"

As a martial artist, this is the foundation of his life. He immediately checked his body, and after a moment, his expression became extremely solemn.

Luckily, this time through the spatial loophole, my physical body was unharmed and my cultivation level did not decrease. The true essence within me is exactly the same as before.

But unfortunately, the spiritual power was gone, and the true energy within his body could not be mobilized at all.

His current state is like a high-end computer with top-of-the-line specs, but it has no operating system or running software. No matter how powerful the hardware is, it's useless without them.

That is to say, before his psychic power recovered, he was no different from an ordinary person and had no combat effectiveness whatsoever.

"Damn it!"

Ye Bufan, never one to believe in superstition, slapped the table beside him. If this were any other time, the table would surely have been shattered by his slap. But now, his palm was flung high into the air while the table remained perfectly intact.

He slowly calmed down, now things were in a bit of trouble.

He was capable of healing his own injuries, even if he couldn't fully heal them, at least he could alleviate some of the pain. As long as he could recover a little bit of spiritual energy, he could open the storage ring, take out the particle gun for protection, and find a set of clothes to wear.

But all of this is clearly wishful thinking. Now there's nothing, not even a sliver. There are no silver needles, no medicine, and even the highest medical skill is useless.

The most urgent thing was to figure out where he was. Ye Bufan looked around again and found that the entire room was decorated in an ancient and elegant style. The windows were made of wood, with paper pasted on them.

Even the clothes a woman draped beside her were clearly ancient garments, and not a hint of modern society could be found within the entire room.

Although I don't know where I am now, one thing is certain, this is definitely not Earth.

In a panic, he wanted to leave here and check out the environment outside, but after some thought, he dismissed the idea.

Now I can't even use any of my abilities. Running out of a woman's room naked would probably get me killed if anyone saw me.

But if you don't go out, staying like this guarding a woman, once discovered you would still be beaten to death.

After thinking it over, he decided to first help the woman put on her clothes. Then he would see if there was any other way out. Otherwise, once discovered, it would be very easy to be misunderstood.

Thinking about this, he picked up the clothes from beside him and grabbed the woman's arm to help her put them on.

The woman's arms were smooth and slippery, wet and cool to the touch.

Just as he had touched her, the woman's beautiful eyes suddenly opened.

"Uh..."

Ye Bufan was stunned. He didn't expect the woman to wake up at this particular time, of all times.

That woman was still a little confused, but when she saw that he was completely naked, her face instantly turned pale with terror, and she opened her mouth to scream.

Ye Bufan was startled. If he were really shouted at by this woman, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to wash himself clean. He hurriedly grabbed the woman's mouth.

"That... you listen to me, it's really not what you think. I'm a good person, I just want to help you get dressed."

The woman curled up, her hands clutching protectively at her most vulnerable areas, but the fear in her eyes had dissipated somewhat.

Ye Bufan said again, “I’ll let you go first, you put on your clothes, but you have to promise me that you can’t call out, okay”

"Hmm!"

The woman nodded slightly.

Ye Bufan tried to slowly let go of the woman. Seeing that she didn't scream, he breathed a sigh of relief and then picked up her clothes from the ground and handed them over.

But after all that commotion, the clothes fell to the ground, covered in water stains, with half of them already soaked through.

A woman grabbed a piece of clothing and held it in front of her chest, her face flushed as she said, "Please go out first."

"Uh..." Ye Bufan immediately had a black line on his forehead, "How could I go out like this That... Let me just turn around first."

After that, he reached down and grabbed two shards of the bathtub, holding them up to shield his front and back before turning away.

At this moment, his brain was racing. How was he supposed to explain this to the woman If he couldn't explain it clearly, things were going to get very complicated.

"Alright!"

Just as I was lost in thought, a woman's voice came from behind me.

Ye Bufan turned around, and the woman was already dressed. A floral-embroidered long dress outlined her perfect figure perfectly.

“That... please listen to my explanation...”

Ye Bufan swallowed nervously, but couldn't find the right words. He stammered, "That girl, I really didn't have any ulterior motives. I didn't do anything... You... Do you believe me"

After he finished speaking, he felt a pang of guilt. He stood there naked in the woman's bathroom and told her he was a good person, but even he didn't believe himself.

"I believe!"

But the woman surprisingly nodded, her tone very certain.

"Huh That's great!" Ye Bufan quickly said again, "Miss, I told you, I don't know what's going on, I don't know how I suddenly appeared here, do you believe me"

He was half-truthful, the first part he knew; he had been caught by the True Yuan's giant hand and thrown into a spatial rift. How he ended up here, though, was a complete mystery.

He just doesn't know the situation here yet, and he can't say those things.

"I believe it!"

The woman nodded again.

Ye Bufan was so touched that he almost cried, realizing how important trust between people truly is.

Then, he felt something was off. He questioned her with doubt, "Wait, are you serious Why would you believe me so easily"

Of course I'm serious.

The woman, as she spoke, actually smiled at him. And her smile made her even more beautiful.

"Big brother, I know you're a good person because I'm a doctor and I know my own body well enough to say that…"

To this, the woman's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence. But the general meaning was already clear.

And then, in a barely audible whisper, "Also, earlier... if you had any thoughts, you wouldn't have been holding onto your clothes. If you were going to dress me, you couldn't be a bad person..."

"Wise indeed, young lady. You speak nothing but the truth..."

These words filled Ye Bufan's heart with excitement. If the circumstances were different, he would have gone over to give this woman a hug.

The woman continued, "As for what you said about the accident, I believe it. Before that, I was bathing in the bathtub and both the door and windows were closed."

But then you suddenly fell, leaving me no time to react. This can only be described as an accident.

"Miss, you are so clever."

Seeing the woman truly believing in herself, Ye Bufan was overcome with excitement. For a moment, he seemed to forget his surroundings, muttering to himself, "They say big breasts mean no brains, but that's clearly false. She is obviously both beautiful and intelligent..."

The woman hadn't heard clearly and asked in surprise, "Brother, what are you talking about"ounded, speechless. This was the first time anyone had ever caused a disturbance in Zhexinglou, and to make matters worse, the troublemaker had actually gotten away.The Grand Steward Tu Heng was suspe...
