Chapter 1697 It’s Not What You Think

Subsequently, Ye Bufan became increasingly aware of the seriousness of the problem; without being able to open his Storage Ring or the Dragon King Palace, he couldn't retrieve any of his equipment.

"What about my cultivation?"

As a Martial Artist, this was his foundation, so he immediately checked his Physical Body. A moment later, his expression became incredibly solemn.

Fortunately, his Physical Body was not injured and his cultivation had not decreased from this spatial anomaly; the true Qi in his body was no different from before.

But unfortunately, his Mental Energy was gone, and the true Qi in his body could not be mobilized at all.

His current situation was like a computer with extremely high specifications, but without an operating System or software running; no matter how high the specifications, it was useless.

In other words, until his Mental Energy recovered, he was no different from an ordinary person, without any combat power to speak of.

"Damn it!"

Ye Bufan, not believing it, slammed his palm on the nearby table. If it were in the past, this table would surely have been shattered into dust by a single slap, but now his palm bounced high, and the table remained intact.

He slowly calmed down. This was a big problem.

With his Medical skill, he could treat his own injuries, or at least alleviate them. As long as he could recover a little Mental Energy, he could open his Storage Ring, retrieve his particle gun for self-defense, and find a set of clothes to wear.

But all of this was clearly a luxury. Now he was naked, with nothing at all. No silver needles, no medicine. Even the highest Medical skill was useless.

The most urgent task was to figure out where he was. Ye Bufan looked around again and found that the entire room was decorated in an antique style. The windows were made of wood, covered with window paper.

Even the clothes draped nearby, belonging to a woman, were clearly ancient attire. There was not a trace of modern society in the entire room.

Although he didn't know where he was now, one thing was certain: this was definitely not Earth.

In desperation, he wanted to leave and check the environment outside, but after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.

Now that he couldn't exert any strength, and running out of a woman's room naked, if he was discovered, he would most likely be beaten to death.

But if he didn't go out, staying in this state with a woman, if discovered, he would still be beaten to death.

After thinking it over, he decided to help the woman put on her clothes first, and then see if there were other solutions. Otherwise, if discovered, it would be easily misunderstood.

Thinking of this, he picked up the clothes from the side, grabbed the woman's arm, and tried to help her put them on.

The woman's arm was smooth and delicate, wet and cool, feeling very good to the touch.

But just as he touched her, the woman's beautiful big eyes suddenly opened.

"Uh…"

Ye Bufan was instantly stunned. He hadn't expected the woman to wake up at this precise moment.

The woman was still a little confused, but when she saw him completely naked, she immediately looked horrified and opened her mouth to scream.

Ye Bufan was startled. If the woman really screamed, he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He quickly covered her mouth.

"Uh… you listen to my explanation. It's really not what you think. I'm a good person. I was trying to help you put on your clothes."

The woman curled up, her hands tightly covering her vital parts, but the fear in her eyes dissipated somewhat.

Ye Bufan then said, "I'll let go of you first. You put on your clothes, but you have to promise me not to scream, okay?"

"Mm!"

The woman nodded slightly.

Ye Bufan cautiously released the woman. Seeing that she indeed didn't scream, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up the clothes that had fallen to the ground and handed them over.

But after all that commotion, the clothes had fallen to the ground, were covered in water stains, and half of them were already soaked.

The woman grabbed the clothes and held them to her chest, saying with a flushed face, "You go out first."

"Uh…" Ye Bufan's face immediately darkened. "How can I go out like this? Uh… I'll turn around first."

After saying that, he reached down and picked up two pieces of the broken bathtub from the ground, covering his front and back vital parts respectively, then turned around.

At this moment, his mind was racing. How should he explain this to the woman later? If he couldn't explain it clearly, it would probably be a big problem.

"Alright!"

Just as he was lost in thought, the woman's voice came from behind him.

Ye Bufan turned around. The woman was already dressed, a long embroidered dress outlining her perfect figure exquisitely.

"Uh… you listen to my explanation…"

Ye Bufan swallowed, but couldn't find a suitable explanation. He said flusteredly, "Uh, miss, I truly have no improper thoughts towards you. I didn't do anything… Do… do you believe me?"

After saying that, he felt a pang of guilt himself. Appearing naked in a woman's bathroom and then claiming to be a good person—even he didn't believe it.

"I believe you!"

The woman, unexpectedly, nodded, her tone very firm.

"Ah? That's really great!" Ye Bufan quickly added, "Miss, I said I don't even know what's going on, or how I suddenly appeared here. Do you believe me?"

His words were half-true, half-false. He knew the first part—that he was pulled into a spatial anomaly by the true Qi hand—but how he got here was genuinely unclear.

However, since he didn't know the situation here yet, he knew he couldn't reveal those things.

"I believe you!"

The woman nodded again.

Ye Bufan was so grateful that tears welled up in his eyes. The trust between people was truly too important.

But then he felt something was a bit off. It shouldn't be like this, he thought, and asked in confusion, "Miss, are you serious? Why do you trust me so much?"

"Of course I'm serious."

The woman said, even smiling at him. Her smile made her even more beautiful.

"Big Brother, I know you're a good person, because I'm a doctor, and I'm very clear that my body hasn't…"

At this point, the woman's cheeks were flushed, and she didn't finish her sentence, but the basic meaning was clearly conveyed.

Finally, she added in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Also, just now, if you had any intentions, you wouldn't have been holding clothes in your hand. Since you were trying to help me put on clothes, you shouldn't be a bad person…"

"How brilliant, Miss! What you said is absolutely right…"

These words made Ye Bufan's heart surge with excitement. If the situation weren't so peculiar, he really would have wanted to go over and give the woman a hug.

The woman continued, "As for the accident you mentioned, I also believe it. Before, I was bathing in the bathtub, and the door and windows were closed.

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

"Miss, you are truly too smart."

Seeing that the woman genuinely believed him, Ye Bufan was overjoyed, seemingly forgetting his predicament for a moment, and muttered, "They all say big breasts mean no brains, but this is clearly false. She's clearly both big-breasted and smart…"

The woman didn't hear clearly and asked in surprise, "Big Brother, what are you saying?"
