Beneath the starry night.

The shy Yun Yun and the bashful Su Qingyun walked out of the cave.

They began strolling along the mountain peak.

The night wind blew gently over them, gradually carrying away the lingering heat from their bodies, and the flush on their faces faded a little.

Only, as the two of them walked, their steps were both somewhat unsteady.

It was Yun Yun's first time tasting the clouds and rain. She had never been touched before; the flower bud was fragile and had never been ravaged. Then, all at once, she had endured two days and one night of torment. Even as a Dou Emperor expert, she found it somewhat hard to bear.

Yet she did not feel pain. Instead, she felt exceptionally sweet at this moment. All because the young man had said he would take responsibility, even if she had to give up everything for him in this life, it would still be worth it.

Faint starlight scattered over the young man. By now, most of the demonic nature and Blood Qi on his body had faded, and instead, a transcendent air naturally emanated from him.

She grew more and more curious about this young man's identity and experiences.

She brushed back her beautiful hair, every movement carrying the charm of a married woman, exceptionally enticing. She could not help asking, "You clearly have a detached, ethereal, transcendent air about you. From the time we've spent together these days, I don't think you're some utterly wicked person either. How did you fall into a Demonic Transformation state? How did such dense Killing Intent appear on you?"

"And this mask, you'd best not wear it again in the future. It looks good, yes, but it should have belonged to some Dou Wang-level expert or above who cultivated a Demonic Cultivation Technique or blood art. It absorbed Blood Qi and baleful qi for years, and Evil Qi is hidden within it. If you wear it for too long, it's very easy to lose your mind."

Yun Yun took out the Rakshasa Ghost Mask. After absorbing the Blood Qi of several hundred people in Wu Tan City, the Blood Fiend Qi inside it had already made even Yun Yun feel somewhat alarmed. It was entirely unlike when Xun'er had first bought it back then.

Hearing this, the young man sighed. Thinking back to that slaughter in Wu Tan City, he was also filled with emotion. Standing on the mountain peak, he could not help looking toward the direction of Wu Tan City.

He thought to himself that he had finally destroyed his enemies with his own hands. This could also count as settling something that had weighed on his heart all these years. From now on, the sea was wide and the sky was high, and fish could leap as they pleased.

"Though I'm not some heinous villain, my hands are still stained with the blood of over a hundred people. Even if they weren't good people either, I'm no saint."

Su Qingyun smiled helplessly.

Once upon a time, he had also been a friendly, kind person, full of expectations for the world and full of longing for life.

Unfortunately, the Aoba Family and the Jialie Family shattered Su Qingyun's illusions, using reality to tell him that modern peaceful and friendly ideas could not survive in this fantasy world where the weak were prey to the strong.

Especially for someone like him, with an unparalleled, heaven-blessed immortal bearing, he would only be manipulated and schemed against by others. He had to learn how to protect himself and the people around him in certain situations.

The sorrowful yet free and easy self-mockery of the young man beneath the moonlight deeply fascinated Yun Yun.

There seemed to be a kind of vicissitude in the young man's eyes that did not belong to his age.

Beneath this transcendent, unrivaled face, paired with such melancholy and mature thoughts, the young man became especially charming, making Yun Yun's heart flutter.

Although the two of them had already communicated at negative distance, each other's inner world was still a mystery. Slowly exploring and uncovering it like this made Yun Yun feel that it was wonderful.

Yun Yun smiled intellectually. "Since they weren't good people, that means they deserved to die. I think you did well. This can also count as punishing villains and eliminating evil, so how can you not count as a good person?"

"You entered the demonic path with your own body, washed evil away with blood, dared to step into darkness and blood, yet could still shine as brilliantly as the stars and moon. I actually think this is what a true man is."

"On the Dou Qi Continent, slaughter is everywhere. What does this even count for?"

"No matter what you do, I'll support you."

Besides, you didn't just kill a hundred or so people! These past two days, you wiped out at least several hundred million little lives too!

As the saying went, beauty was in the eye of the beholder. Seeing Su Qingyun's perfect face, even a Dou Emperor expert like Yun Yun had already been charmed into a daze.

Forget killing a mere hundred people. Even if it were something as outrageous and universally condemned as massacring a city, she would probably feel that it was his unique charm!

"I'm afraid you're the only one who can make murder sound so pleasant."

Su Qingyun smiled faintly and also let it go. That was right, the Dou Qi Continent was filled with slaughter at every moment. The Tagor Desert, the Black Corner Region, the Hall of Souls... every day, life and death separations, Killing People and Seizing Treasures, and forcing decent women into prostitution were all being played out...

What did killing people for revenge count for? At this moment, the inner demon in Su Qingyun's heart also drifted away with the clear breeze.

Perhaps his Demonic Transformation had something to do with that innocent heart of his as well. Mighty Huaxia had always valued harmony above all, and held Human Life as weightier than the heavens.

His first slaughter had been a river of blood and corpses strewn across the entire city. In the end, it would affect his state of mind.

But it was also a blessing in disguise. During the stroll, Su Qingyun looked inward at his qi cyclone and discovered that three golden galaxy patterns had already appeared on it. This represented that he was already a Three-star Immortal.

Su Qingyun and Yun Yun stood on the mountain peak beneath the starry night, gazing out at the many peaks of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

At night, there were also covetous first-tier and Second-tier Magical Beasts moving about. They came after smelling the human scent and the Smell of Blood, but before they could even show themselves, Yun Yun secretly condensed wind swords and killed them.

She did not want anything jumping out to ruin this beautiful moment! Or disturb the private world between her and this handsome young man!

"Did you come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range this time because you wanted to find something?"

"Mm. I received news that traces of the Amethyst Winged Lion King had appeared in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The Amethyst Source produced by this Amethyst Winged Lion King is of some use to me, and it just so happens that my arrogant disciple can use it too, so I came here especially to search for it."

Yun Yun did not hide anything at all. She even took out a sheepskin map, on which the approximate areas where the Amethyst Winged Lion King had appeared were marked.

Hearing this, Su Qingyun already understood. Yun Yun had indeed come for the Amethyst Source, but had just happened to encounter him in Demonic Transformation, and had actually been willing to lose her chastity to expel his baleful qi.

In the original work, Yun Yun should have fought the Amethyst Winged Lion King until both sides were injured, and only afterward did she join hands with Xiao Yan to empty out the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair.

But now, Yun Yun had arrived at the Magical Beast Mountain Range early, and Xiao Yan had not even reached the Dou Zhe realm. If Yun Yun went alone to face the Amethyst Winged Lion King, she would likely fall into danger.

Thinking of this, Su Qingyun felt somewhat ashamed and said,

"I can help you deal with the Amethyst Winged Lion King."

Hearing this, Yun Yun laughed so hard beneath the starlight that her body trembled like flowers in the wind. Perhaps she laughed too widely and pulled at the abdominal wounds that had been battered full to the brim these two days.

Yun Yun was seen clutching her stomach with both hands, letting out hissing sounds.

Su Qingyun hurriedly went to support her. Subconsciously, he rubbed her stomach, wanting to make her feel better, and asked with concern,

"What's wrong? Does it hurt?"

Seeing the peerlessly handsome young man's concerned face, with a bit of anxiety, Yun Yun instead curved her lips into a beautiful smile. She tapped his forehead and said coquettishly,

"Isn't it all your fault? After you entered Demonic Transformation, you were hard as stone and lasted forever, and you didn't know how to cherish a delicate woman at all, just charging in wildly. How could it not hurt?"

"And you just had to make me laugh. Although I can tell your talent is extremely high, and although you're only at the Dou Zhe realm, you can rival a Dou Shi expert. But that Amethyst Winged Lion King is a beast king, a Sixth Tier Magical Beast, Comparable To a Dou Emperor. I'm afraid even one casual strike from it could take your little life."

"Little fellow... oh no, big fellow, are you trying to make me a widow? I don't want the handsome man I just got to be hurt, let alone lose his life."

Yun Yun was so charming, and even carried a slightly coquettish tone. If those people in the Imperial Capital found out, their jaws would probably drop in shock!

Was this still the Jia Ma Empire's number one female Dou Emperor? She was practically a beautiful young woman head over heels in love! "Right, I still haven't told you my name. I'm called Yun Yun, I'm from the Misty Cloud Sect, and I'm a Dou Emperor~ What about you? I still don't know what you're called."

Yun Yun revealed her identity, originally thinking it would greatly shock the young man. Unexpectedly, the young man had a calm and composed expression, and was not startled by her realm or identity. He only smiled faintly and said, "My name is Su Qingyun."

I'm late. I just went to watch the Olympics. Sorry~
