"Human woman, you scoundrel, how dare you return?" the Amethyst Winged Lion King roared loudly, glaring at Yun Yun, who exuded a formidable aura in the sky.
"The purple spirit crystal hasn't been acquired, so naturally, I can't leave. Since it has come to this, there's no point in further words. Let me once again experience the Lion King's prowess," Yun Yun said in a clear, cold voice.
"Hmph… you seek death!" The enormous Amethyst Winged Lion King flapped its deep purple wings, its body wreathed in flames.
Flames flickered on its four claws as it stepped through the void, rushing towards Yun Yun. With each step, the atmosphere trembled.
Feeling the might of a Dou Emperor expert from a closer distance, Xiao Yan's mind reeled.
The thought that Yun Zhi, who was as dazzling and captivating as a Valkyrie in the sky, had previously been like a small bird nestled in his arms, gave him a sense of unreality.
"Hehe, aren't you more motivated now? If you don't quickly grow stronger, the good times you've had recently might truly become just a memory, and that Miss Yun Zhi will become like the bright moon in the sky, an illusion in the water," Yao Chen said with a chuckle.
"No need to provoke me. I know very well what needs to be done," Xiao Yan replied calmly this time, unfazed by Yao Chen's goading.
"Hmm, not bad. Your mindset has matured, and you've become a true man."
Xiao Yan's face flushed. Yao Chen always managed to find his weak spot.
"You gossipy old man, let's think about how we're going to steal the purple spirit crystal now," he said, rolling his eyes in exasperation.
In the bone flame ring space, unseen by Xiao Yan, Yao Chen raised his right hand, using the knuckle of his index finger to push up the bottom edge of the monocle on his right eye, and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll cover your back. Go for it boldly!"
Yun Yun did not engage the Amethyst Winged Lion King head-on. After a feint, her green wings vibrated, and she swooped down with lightning speed.
"Wind Kill Annihilation!"
Streaks of green longsword phantoms rapidly descended, striking down the third and fourth-tier magical beasts that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had gathered to guard the cave and protect the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Yun Yun quickly ascended again, dodging the overwhelming purple flames that surged from behind her.
The terrifying high temperature had caused the ground to crystallize in some places, and a scorching aura permeated the air.
The death of its subordinates further enraged the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and the purple flames on its body flared up even more.
Although Yun Yun had killed several magical beasts with one move, there was still a wolf-shaped magical beast dozens of meters in front of the cave entrance, prostrate on the ground, trembling as it watched the battle in the sky.
Noticing the white circle around its right eye, Xiao Yan immediately recognized it as the magical beast that had been drawn by Yun Yun's bathing scent, chased him, and severely injured him.
Looking at its prostrate, defenseless state, Xiao Yan licked his lips and asked in his mind:
"Teacher, do you think if I use the Dou Qi Yun Zhi gave me, I can kill it with a sneak attack?"
Yao Chen chuckled, "I'm not sure if you can kill it, but I know it will definitely attract the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Although it's currently focusing most of its attention on Yun Zhi, if you try to use the Flame Divide Wave Ruler, it's impossible for it not to notice."
"Then forget it. Consider yourself lucky," Xiao Yan glared fiercely at the wolf-shaped magical beast. After applying scent-eliminating powder to himself, he detoured and climbed to the top of the cave, then flipped over and slipped inside.
The wolf-shaped magical beast rubbed the corner of its right eye with the back of its right paw. Its true purpose in being there was to provide cover for Xiao Yan's actions.
If Xiao Yan couldn't find an opportunity to enter the cave, it would create a disturbance among the magical beasts to create an opening for him.
Xiao Yan's progress was exceptionally smooth. At the end of a branched passage, he discovered the accompanying purple crystal source and the purple spirit crystal, which could be used to chisel open the accompanying purple crystal source.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King naturally knew that the purple spirit crystal could be used to chisel open the accompanying purple crystal source, so to avoid any accidents, it usually stored the two separately in different cave passages.
"Hehe, your luck is really good. Practically no Amethyst Winged Lion King would be so careless as to put them together. It's probably the work of some playful Little Amethyst Winged Lion King. This saves us a lot of trouble."
Yao Chen reminded, "But you need to be quick. Since there's an accompanying purple crystal source, there must be a Little Amethyst Winged Lion King, and it could come over at any time."
"Hmph, isn't it just a little cub? Watch me split it in half with my ruler!" Xiao Yan declared with great bravado.
"Oh, really?" Yao Chen said noncommittally when he saw Xiao Yan's arrogant posture.
A huge shadow slowly approached from behind.
Xiao Yan turned around and his expression froze when he saw the enormous Little Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Go on, let your teacher see how you split it in half with your ruler," Yao Chen said, looking gleeful.
"Teacher, save me!" Xiao Yan cried out in his mind.
"As I said, I won't act unless absolutely necessary. This is also part of your training," Yao Chen said with a smile, stroking his monocle.
Xiao Yan keenly noticed that the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King's right eye also had a white circle.
He was already accustomed to it; it seemed to be a normal phenomenon.
"Ow…" The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King let out an angry roar at Xiao Yan, seemingly very furious.
It raised its paw high and swatted down.
Using the Dou Qi Yun Yun had left him, Xiao Yan slid under the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King's belly like the wind.
The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King's movements were a bit sluggish, giving it a somewhat dull appearance. It turned and chased after Xiao Yan.
A chase began. The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King looked dull, but its attacks were extremely fierce. Xiao Yan quickly exhausted the Dou Qi Yun Yun had left him.
To escape the large creature behind him, Xiao Yan risked swallowing some of the accompanying purple crystal source. Using the temporary surge of power in his body, he fiercely struck the opponent with his ruler.
At the same time, he also took a claw strike from the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King and was sent flying backward.
Sensing the commotion below, Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King lunged towards the cave entrance almost simultaneously.
Yun Yun struck the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King with a sword, and the latter cried out in pain.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King disregarded everything else and hurried to check on the Little Lion King's injuries.
Yun Yun took the opportunity to leave with the unconscious Xiao Yan.
"Bastard! Stealing my treasure and injuring my son, I will not spare you!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared in anger and helplessness, sensing the energy of the accompanying purple crystal source emanating from Xiao Yan's body.
It licked the teary-eyed Little Lion King's wound, found the injury to be very minor, and then slapped its head with a paw, saying in a tone of disappointment, "Idiot, how could you let such a weak human steal your treasure… And what are you crying about for such a small injury?"
The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King rolled over and looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King with its big eyes.
Seeing its carefree demeanor, the latter sighed, beginning to worry about its future.
Originally, if the Little Lion King had swallowed the accompanying purple crystal source at the fourth tier, it could have instantly become a fifth-tier magical beast, securing a place in the vast Monster Mountain Range.
But now, having lost the accompanying purple crystal source, its future would face unknown additional risks.
Yun Yun dissolved the violent energy within Xiao Yan's body and placed him in a safe location. She then took out a high-grade Xuan-tier fire-attribute cultivation method and a mid-grade Xuan-tier movement Dou Technique from her space ring, gently placing the two scrolls beside Xiao Yan.
She gazed at Xiao Yan's handsome face, and her soft lips pressed against his.
She gave him one last reluctant look and whispered, "I'll be waiting for you to propose at the Yunlan Sect. Keep working hard. My teacher isn't that easy to persuade."
Then, Dou Qi wings materialized behind her, and she soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
After a while, Xiao Yan slowly woke up, touching his lips, the soft sensation seemingly still present.
He put the two scrolls, which still carried a faint fragrance, into his space ring and gazed into the distance.
The setting sun cast golden afterglow, the evening clouds were like fire, and the sky seemed to be burning.
He watched the magnificent scenery, lost in thought.
After a long time, he murmured softly:
"Wait for me, Yun Zhi."
