Subduing the Amethyst Winged Lion King

Boom! Wherever the purple beam and red pillar of fire passed, space twisted slightly. In an instant, they collided heavily with the terrifying force of meteors crashing together.

After a brief clash between the purple beam and the red pillar of fire, the purple beam fell into a disadvantage. They held for only a moment before the red pillar of fire rapidly pushed toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Just as it was about to strike the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the Fire Python slightly raised the red pillar of fire at Xiao Kun's signal.

The red column of water grazed past the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body and struck a distant mountain range, leaving a deep crater dozens of zhang wide in the mountains.

While the Amethyst Winged Lion King was still shaken by its brush with death, Xiao Kun's two clones had already finished off all of his Magic Beast subordinates.

When the clones returned, Xiao Kun's Storage Ring gained three more fifth-tier Magic Cores and fifty fourth-tier Magic Cores.

After a moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King came back to his senses and asked with mixed emotions, "Why didn't you kill me?"

Xiao Kun smiled. "Of course, it was because I wanted to subdue you. My family happens to lack a Magic Beast retainer. Are you willing?"

"A retainer? Impossible. The Magic Beast race shall never be slaves." The Amethyst Winged Lion King angrily refused. Becoming a retainer for humans would earn him the scorn of other Magic Beasts; he could not agree to that.

Besides, given the current circumstances, calling it a retainer position might well mean becoming a mount.

"I am willing to offer two Form Transformation Pills as payment." Xiao Kun remained calmly smiling despite the Amethyst Winged Lion King's refusal.

"No matter what you offer, I won't agree! What? What did you say? Form Transformation Pills, and two of them?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly realized what he had heard. His huge eyes widened as he asked in disbelief.

It was no wonder the Amethyst Winged Lion King was so shocked. Form Transformation Pills were miraculous pills that only a Seventh-grade Alchemist could refine.

With a Form Transformation Pill, a Magic Beast could completely assume human form. After transforming, a Magic Beast would gain the same cultivation speed as a human.

Coupled with the long lifespans of Magic Beasts, they would generally achieve considerable accomplishments.

Furthermore, after consuming a Form Transformation Pill, a sixth-tier Magic Beast advancing to the seventh tier and taking human form would not need to undergo a lightning tribulation. It could safely pass that hurdle.

All of this showed just how precious Form Transformation Pills were to Magic Beasts below the seventh tier. It would be strange if the Amethyst Winged Lion King were not incredulous.

"That's right, two Form Transformation Pills. One for you and one for your son." Xiao Kun still smiled as he confirmed it.

After confirming that he had not misheard, the Amethyst Winged Lion King could not help wavering. He hesitated before saying, "Let me consider it."

Seeing that the Amethyst Winged Lion King still seemed dissatisfied, Xiao Kun shifted to a threatening tone.

"If you don't agree, then I can only kill you. The Magic Beast Mountain Range is so vast; there will always be other Magic Beasts willing to agree."

Faced with Xiao Kun's carrot-and-stick approach, the Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly came to his senses. "I agree, I agree!"

Seeing that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had finally agreed, Xiao Kun nodded in satisfaction.

Then, with a flash, he appeared directly before the Amethyst Winged Lion King. He took out two Form Transformation Pills and several healing pills from his Storage Ring and handed them to him.

When he saw Xiao Kun truly hand over the Form Transformation Pills, the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt as though he were dreaming. Something he had once longed for day and night had been obtained so easily!

He had thought he would at least have to serve Xiao Kun's family loyally for a year or two to show his sincerity.

Only after being assessed did he expect to receive them.

He had not expected Xiao Kun to give them to him immediately. Amid his amazement, he also developed a slight fondness for the man who had just beaten him up.

Seeing that everything had been settled, Xiao Kun waved to Yun Yun, indicating that it was safe for her to come over.

Upon seeing Xiao Kun's gesture, Yun Yun hurriedly flew over and immediately asked with concern, "You weren't hurt, were you?"

"Don't worry! I'm perfectly fine! The Lion King was the only one injured." Xiao Kun pointed at the Lion King and laughed.

Then he stared at Yun Yun's lovely face and teased, "But the way you worry about me is so beautiful that I couldn't help suffering internal injuries!"

Yun Yun had never heard such sweet words before. A blush spread across her exquisite face as she stammered, "Y-you... how can you be so shameless?"

After that, she fell silent.

Seeing Yun Yun's silent appearance, Xiao Kun knew not to push his luck.

Pointing at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, he said seriously, "The Lion King has now been subdued by me and has become a retainer of my family. I'll give you the Purple Spirit Crystal shortly."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had been watching the show from the side, suddenly heard Xiao Kun mention his Purple Spirit Crystal and hurriedly said, "I never agreed to give you the Purple Spirit Crystal!"

Xiao Kun could not help turning back to glare at him. "Aren't two Form Transformation Pills enough to shut your mouth? And not only the Purple Spirit Crystal—I also want the Associated Amethyst Source. Don't worry, I'll compensate you with pills that improve cultivation."

Hearing Xiao Kun's words, the Amethyst Winged Lion King thought of Xiao Kun's generosity.

Although he was somewhat puzzled as to how Xiao Kun knew he possessed Associated Amethyst Source, he opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

"Form Transformation Pills!" Hearing the name of such precious pills, Yun Yun came somewhat back to her senses. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Kun questioningly, seeking confirmation.

Xiao Kun nodded, confirming her doubts.

After receiving Xiao Kun's confirmation, Yun Yun's heart stirred again. She had not expected Xiao Kun to carry such precious pills on him. It seemed his identity was even more exalted than she had imagined.

Xiao Kun himself had not expected that, because of two Form Transformation Pills, Yun Yun would begin speculating about his identity again.

Then, thinking of something else, Xiao Kun turned to the Amethyst Winged Lion King and asked, "Do you have a name?"

"I never chose one before."

"Then I'll call you Lion King for now. Tell me when you have a name in the future. As for me, you may address me as Young Clan Leader." Xiao Kun instructed.

"Yes, Young Clan Leader." Lion King nodded.

"And her—do you know how you should address her?" Xiao Kun winked at Lion King.

Seeing Xiao Kun's unusual look, Lion King immediately began racking his brains. After a moment, he said uncertainly, "Young Clan Leader's wife!"

At that form of address, Yun Yun's lovely face immediately reddened again. Sounding somewhat angry, she said, "Nonsense."

"Right, nonsense! We're not that kind of relationship. Call her Sister Yun!" Xiao Kun gave Lion King a thumbs-up behind Yun Yun's back and pretended to be angry.

"Yes, yes, Sister Yun!" Lion King looked as though he wanted to cry, but facing Xiao Kun, who would be responsible for his livelihood from now on, he could only endure it.

In high spirits, Xiao Kun considered that things were more or less settled and said to the human and the beast, "Next, shall we go to Lion King's cave dwelling?"

Neither Yun Yun nor Lion King objected.

A moment later, three streaks of light arrived at Lion King's cave dwelling.

Walking into the cave, Xiao Kun looked at its deep, spacious interior, adorned with chunks of purple crystal. It was exceptionally beautiful.

Looking at this naturally formed cave dwelling, Xiao Kun could only sigh inwardly. Even this enlightened lion knows how to enjoy life.
