Parting

Seeing that there was no danger nearby, Xiao Kun checked the Associated Amethyst Source and Heavenly Flame newly stored in the System Space.

Xiao Kun discovered that the complete Associated Amethyst Source awarded to him was another purple orb. This must have been the critical hit from the Purple Spirit Crystal.

As for the Heavenly Flame, it was the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, ranked twenty-second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. It was a red Heavenly Flame that faintly took on the forms of countless magical beasts, condensed from the souls and blood of myriad beasts.

The critical hit should have come from those four bottles of Associated Amethyst Source. After all, in the original story, Xiao Yan had been able to condense Purple Flame after consuming the Associated Amethyst Source.

With this Heavenly Flame, using Flame Shaping to create all kinds of magical beasts would be much easier in the future, Xiao Kun thought happily after examining the rewards.

In an instant, Xiao Kun finished reviewing the System's new reward information. When he came back to himself, he found Yun Yun looking at him with a deeply moved expression.

Xiao Kun suddenly remembered that after giving her the items, he had been so excited by the high critical hit that he had forgotten to let go of her hand. Of course, Yun Yun's hand being too soft was also part of the reason.

And he had even been smiling with satisfaction afterward. Yun Yun must have misunderstood.

After all, on the Dou Qi Continent, strength reigned supreme, and cultivation resources were indispensable to becoming strong. Xiao Kun had given Yun Yun resources and still looked delighted, so Yun Yun had surely misunderstood him as having deep feelings for her.

As for Xiao Kun's feelings for Yun Yun, they certainly existed, but they were probably not as deep as Yun Yun imagined them to be right now.

Of course, that only applied when there was a certain degree of mutual affection. Otherwise, it was just acting like a hooligan and would only make the other person hate you more.

Looking at that beautiful, moved face, Xiao Kun could not help sighing. He had not expected things to backfire; one moment of distraction had made Yun Yun's feelings for him even deeper.

They stared at each other for a long time. Whether it was the atmosphere or something else, Xiao Kun acted on impulse and kissed those enticing red lips.

Yun Yun recoiled half a step in surprise, but Xiao Kun, still holding her hand, pulled her back into his arms, and they kissed directly.

At his first taste of her red lips, Xiao Kun's hands became somewhat restless as they explored Yun Yun's body. Just as his right hand settled on her slender waist, he felt her delicate body tense up, only for her to relax again under the assault of his lips.

After a long while, Yun Yun finally pushed Xiao Kun away.

After taking two deep breaths, Yun Yun straightened her disheveled clothes. Thinking of how intimate they had been just now, her cheeks reddened as though blood might drip from them. Her moist eyes glared at Xiao Kun with shy anger.

Xiao Kun also came back to his senses at that moment. Seeing Yun Yun's shyly angry expression, he helplessly spread his hands and said awkwardly, "Um... well... sigh!" He did not know how to explain what he had just done.

Seeing the helpless look on Xiao Kun's face, a smile involuntarily appeared on Yun Yun's charming face, only for her to quickly suppress it and put on an angry expression. "At such a young age, and you already refuse to behave!"

Xiao Kun had not noticed Yun Yun's smile. Seeing her angry appearance now, he could only quickly go along with her. "Yes, yes, I was badly behaved! I'll change—I'll definitely change."

Seeing Xiao Kun look like a good student who would correct his mistakes at once, Yun Yun did not know what to say for a moment.

As the two fell silent, the cave became quiet for a while.

After some time, Xiao Kun felt that this would not do. Changing the subject, he said with a hint of melancholy, "You've obtained the Purple Spirit Crystal. Are you planning to leave?"

At that, Yun Yun fell silent again. Her expression became calm as she said somewhat reluctantly, "Yes. I'm leaving tomorrow." After all, she was a sect leader, and her sect could not go without her for too long.

Receiving the unpleasant answer he had expected, Xiao Kun felt a trace of disappointment rise in his heart. "Mm. Be careful."

Just as the two were about to lapse into silence again, footsteps sounded at the entrance of the cave. Looking over, they saw a burly middle-aged man walking in while carrying a boy of several years old.

Both the middle-aged man and the child were dressed in purple. Their hair and eyebrows were purple, and so were their clothes.

The middle-aged man wore a broad grin, while the child looked utterly bewildered, as though he had yet to adapt to his current form.

Feeling their auras, Xiao Kun guessed that they were the Amethyst Winged Lion King father and son who had taken the Form Transformation Pill.

Sure enough, upon seeing Xiao Kun, the middle-aged man hurried forward, laughing loudly as he walked. "Thank you for the Form Transformation Pill, Young Clan Leader! I feel wonderful now!"

Seeing the effects of a Form Transformation Pill for the first time, Xiao Kun did not immediately reply to the Lion King.

Instead, he carefully observed the Lion King before him, who looked exactly like a human, and said in amazement, "You really are exactly the same as a human. There's no difference at all."

Yun Yun, on the other side, also seemed to have forgotten the earlier unpleasantness. With a trace of curiosity, she looked at the newly appeared Lion King. After all, there were currently no transformed magical beasts in the Jia Ma Empire.

After observing him for a while, Xiao Kun nodded in satisfaction. "It's good that there are no problems! Now you can follow me without worry. But it's a little inappropriate for a man like you to wear purple all over. Remember to change into something else in the future."

"Is purple not good? I think it's great!" the Lion King said, somewhat confused. After all, his entire body had been purple before as well.

Seeing the Lion King's unrepentant expression, Xiao Kun thought for a moment and said nothing more. Everyone had their own preferences, and he would not force personal matters on him.

He then turned to the young Amethyst Winged Lion King. "He still can't speak the human language, right?"

"That's right," the Lion King said with a bitter smile.

"It's fine. Teach him more in the future." Xiao Kun pinched the young Amethyst Winged Lion King's adorable little cheek.

Under the blazing sun, four people stood beside the enormous entrance of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave dwelling. The two in the back wore purple robes and appeared to be waiting for the final farewell between the two in front.

Beneath the scorching sun overhead, Xiao Kun looked at the elegant, slender figure standing before him. A ray of sunlight spilled down from the horizon onto her body, adding a faint veil of radiance around her.

He silently gazed at the beautiful sight for a long time before helplessly forcing out three words. "Take care."

At his words, a trace of reluctance appeared on Yun Yun's lovely face. To Xiao Kun's astonishment, she hugged the young man with whom she had shared so much recently.

Then, before Xiao Kun could savor the moment, she turned around, spread her wings, and flew away.

Xiao Kun watched her beautiful figure recede until it vanished from sight. After sighing, he pulled himself together and said, "If I want to possess all this beauty, I still need to become stronger!"

Shaking off the dispirited feeling brought on by their parting, Xiao Kun turned to the Lion King and said, "I still need to cultivate in seclusion here for one or two weeks. Please stand guard for me and do not let anyone disturb me."

He then tossed out several pills capable of improving cultivation and handed them to the Lion King.

"Alright, Young Clan Leader." The Lion King readily agreed to such a small matter. Then, holding the precious pills he had never seen before, he began grinning foolishly.

After making the arrangements, Xiao Kun entered the cave to cultivate in seclusion without worry.
