Flight

The scorching sun bathed the rolling mountains, and the air was filled with the dry heat of steaming grass and trees.

Mo Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, looking up at the slender figure standing on a large rock not far away.

The sunlight seemed to favor her, bathing her in a faint golden halo.

Yun Yun stood against the wind, her plain dress clinging to her body, outlining breathtakingly beautiful curves, especially her full, shapely breasts, which showed an even more alluring arc in the sunlight.

She had regained her Dou Emperor strength, and the dignified, elegant, and aloof demeanor that was tinged with a hint of pride also returned, like an immortal who did not eat mortal food, inspiring admiration and making one feel inferior.

As if sensing Mo Lin's undisguised admiring gaze, Yun Yun slowly turned around, her beautiful eyes lifting slightly, meeting his dark eyes for a moment.

However, after just a moment, her gaze quickly shifted away like a startled fawn, and the fair lobes of her ears quietly flushed a faint pink.

She forced herself to calm down and said in a plain tone, "I will temporarily infuse you with power using a secret technique, granting you Dou Master strength. My wind-attribute Fighting Energy will also boost your speed. Remember, if you encounter any obstruction, try to avoid combat to prevent attracting more Mo Beasts. At that time, you..."

She suddenly paused at this point, tilting her head slightly, staring at Mo Lin with a complex gaze.

"Mhm," Mo Lin replied, lowering his eyelids, seemingly respectfully, but a barely perceptible curve formed at the corner of his mouth.

How could he not hear the unintentional concern in her words? He deliberately pretended to be oblivious, acting as if it were purely a business matter.

Looking at Mo Lin's expression, which was even calmer and more indifferent than her own, Yun Yun's delicate eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and a inexplicable sense of annoyance welled up in her heart.

This guy, he was looking at her like that just now, and now he's acting like this?

She flashed down from the giant rock, landing beside Mo Lin like a light feather, bringing with her a faint scent of fragrance. Her voice was cool as she asked, "Are you ready?"

"Mhm," Mo Lin nodded.

Seeing Mo Lin nod, Yun Yun said no more. She slowly extended her jade hand, gently placing it on Mo Lin's back.

The moment her fingertips touched his clothes, they trembled almost imperceptibly.

She collected her thoughts, flicked her finger, and a surging, pure Fighting Energy flowed like a docile stream into Mo Lin's body.

Although this external Fighting Energy was powerful, under Yun Yun's exquisite control, it flowed very gently through Mo Lin's meridians, bringing an unprecedented sense of fullness and power.

Mo Lin twisted his body slightly, his bones emitting crisp cracking sounds, as if he had undergone a transformation.

He clenched his fist tightly, feeling the surging power within him, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Is this the power of a high-level Dou Master? It's indeed far beyond what a Dou Practitioner can compare to.

He moved his foot casually, and his body became exceptionally agile, which was naturally the effect of Yun Yun's wind-attribute Fighting Energy.

"This Fighting Energy will be enough to sustain you for two hours. When the time is up, you must come out," Yun Yun reminded him softly, her tone serious. "I will do my best to hold off the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, but you must seize the time. That beast is not unintelligent."

"Understood. Shall we go?" Mo Lin looked up, gazing at the beautiful face so close to him, a bright smile on his face.

"Mhm," Yun Yun nodded slightly. Fighting Energy surged within her, and a pair of wings, condensed entirely from cyan energy, thin as cicada wings but emitting powerful fluctuations, slowly unfurled behind her, shimmering with light, beautiful and magnificent.

However, when she looked up, she saw Mo Lin spreading his arms in a posture as if preparing for a hug.

Yun Yun was stunned, and then two rosy clouds instantly flew to her cheeks, spreading to her neck. She scolded him angrily, "You... what are you doing?!"

Mo Lin widened his eyes, his face filled with "shock" and "innocence," and he said righteously, "Miss Yun Zhi, the journey from here to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's lair is not short, is it? You don't expect me to run there on my own two legs, do you? If I run into a few fourth or fifth-tier Mo Beasts along the way, my temporary borrowed strength wouldn't be enough to fight them, would it? You'll have to fly me there!"

"You!" Yun Yun was speechless with anger. Her long eyelashes trembled violently, and her chest rose and fell slightly, clearly infuriated by his shameless behavior.

But upon closer thought, what he said was indeed true; running there on his own would be too risky.

She took several deep breaths, barely suppressing her shyness, and reluctantly gritted her silver teeth, squeezing out a few words from between them: "...Come here."

"Roger that!" Mo Lin's face immediately broke into a triumphant smile. He strode forward and naturally pulled the noble and stunning Dou Emperor woman into his embrace once more.

Warm fragrance and soft jade filled his arms, especially the unavoidable embrace around her slender yet resilient waist, and the astonishing softness against his chest, which made Mo Lin secretly rejoice.

The moment Yun Yun's delicate body was held by him, it visibly stiffened, then trembled slightly.

Being embraced so intimately by a man while fully conscious and having recovered all her strength was an unprecedented experience for her.

"Just... just hold me tight! No funny business! Otherwise... otherwise, I'll really throw you down!" Yun Yun tried to maintain her composure, but her voice carried an undisguised tremor, and her threat sounded somewhat lacking in conviction.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know my limits," Mo Lin nodded with a smile, muttering in a low voice, "Anyway, I've already felt everything I should have felt before..."

This whisper, as faint as a mosquito's buzz, clearly reached Yun Yun's ears, causing her pretty face to instantly flush as if on fire, even her fair neck turning pink.

She was so embarrassed that she wished she could throw this scoundrel down immediately, but in the end, she forcibly held back, pretending not to have heard him, and flapped the wings on her back fiercely!

"Whoosh—!"

The two of them instantly lifted off the ground, turning into a cyan streak of light, soaring towards the sky.

As soon as they ascended, Mo Lin immediately "went with the flow," tightening his arms, wrapping himself around Yun Yun like an octopus, his face almost buried in the crook of her neck, greedily inhaling the elegant scent of her hair and her maiden fragrance.

"You... loosen up a bit!" Yun Yun's delicate body stiffened. She was so angered by his further encroachment that her pretty face turned pale. This scoundrel, he had just agreed, and now he'd forgotten!

The high-altitude wind buffeted them, but she felt her face burning intensely.

"It's too high! The wind is too strong! I'm afraid I'll fall!" Mo Lin shouted righteously, tightening his grip, even "accidentally" brushing against her astonishingly elastic side.

Yun Yun was both angry and ashamed, but she couldn't get too entangled with him while flying at high altitude. She could only keep her delicate body tense, her face, which could topple cities and nations, icy, and increase her speed to the extreme, wishing she could reach their destination immediately.

The cyan light cut through the sky, and the forests below rapidly receded.

After flying for a while, Mo Lin seemed to find the atmosphere too "stifling" and began his "performance" again.

He deliberately brought his lips close to Yun Yun's delicate and sensitive earlobe, his warm breath spraying on it, and asked in a curious tone, "By the way, Miss Yun Zhi, what star level Dou Emperor are you?"

The scorching breath and tickle by her ear made Yun Yun's delicate body tremble violently as she flew, her trajectory even wavering. A trace of shame and helplessness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she coldly retorted, "Three-star!"

"And the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King? What star level is it considered?" Mo Lin continued his "shameless inquiry," his lips almost touching her ear.

Yun Yun suppressed the urge to push him away, flying with her gaze fixed straight ahead. Her voice remained clear and cold, but with a hint of imperceptible fluctuation: "The star level of Mo Beasts is vague. If we talk about Fighting Energy cultivation, it's comparable to a two-star Dou Emperor, but its physical body is powerful, and its close-quarters combat is enough to rival a four-star or even a five-star Dou Emperor. Comprehensively, its strength is around that of a three-star Dou Emperor."

"Oh~~ No wonder you were defeated so quickly after I got close that day..." Mo Lin drew out his tone, looking as if he had suddenly understood, and then "bluntly" added, "That guy's close-range attacks are indeed fierce. Looking at the wound on your chest... Mmph!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his body lurch violently, plummeting rapidly!

The intense feeling of weightlessness terrified him, and he instinctively hugged Yun Yun tightly, his entire body almost hanging on her. His face was buried deep in her soft neck, and he cried out in terror, "Ah! I'm going to fall!"

Yun Yun finally stabilized her body, her pretty face flushed crimson. Angrily and exasperatedly, she lowered her head and glared at the guy who took advantage of the situation while pretending to be pitiful, gritting her teeth and whispering a warning, "If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll let go immediately!"

"I won't dare, I won't dare! Mercy, noble lady!" Mo Lin quickly "admitted defeat," but his arms around her didn't loosen in the slightest. Instead, due to the recent "fright," he clung even tighter.

Yun Yun looked at his rogue-like demeanor, her chest heaving with anger, but she could do nothing about him. She could only snort coldly and accelerate forward, determined to ignore this guy any longer.

After a "perilous and thrilling" flight, a massive mountain range appeared at the horizon. At the summit of the range, a huge cave entrance was clearly visible in the sunlight, faintly emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

"We're here," Yun Yun's voice returned to its clear coldness, with a hint of solemnity. "Ahead is the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's lair. I will attack directly to lure it out. You conceal your aura and find an opportunity to sneak into the cave. Remember, you only have two hours!"

After speaking, she found a hidden patch of jungle and slowly descended.

As soon as they landed, Mo Lin "reluctantly" released his arms, his face regaining a serious expression: "Understood. Be careful yourself."

Seeing him suddenly become serious and earnest, Yun Yun was slightly taken aback, and the trace of shame and annoyance in her heart strangely dissipated quite a bit.

She nodded, her jade hand grasping, and the peculiar long sword appeared in her hand. Azure Fighting Energy began to slowly gather.

"I'm going," Yun Yun gave Mo Lin one last look, flapped the wings on her back, and transformed into an azure rainbow, charging towards the massive cave entrance without hesitation.

Before she arrived, a clear, cold shout echoed through the forest: "Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, get out here!"

In an instant, a terrifying, savage aura erupted from the cave like a volcanic eruption!

Following that, a deafening lion's roar rose, and a massive purple shadow, carrying a sky-piercing malevolence, shot out from the cave, lunging straight at Yun Yun in the sky!

The battle erupted instantly! Above the sky, azure and purple lights flashed wildly, and thunderous explosions were incessant, with terrifying energy ripples sweeping out like a storm.

Mo Lin suppressed his entire aura, lurking like a phantom in the shadows of the jungle, his gaze sharply fixed on the earth-shattering battle between the beast and the human.

Only when he saw Yun Yun successfully lure the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King towards the distant sky did a sharp glint flash in his eyes. His figure moved, pushing his speed to the extreme, transforming into a blurred black shadow, and silently speeding towards the cave entrance, unguarded by its master!

"Treasure... here I come!"
