Yun Yun's Tender Anger

Lin Che accepted the pill Yao Chen handed over and tossed it into his mouth. Dense Dou Qi energy washed through his limbs and bones, causing the energy he had expended to recover at a visible rate.

Huff...

After heavily exhaling a breath of hot air, Lin Che said, "The Mulan Three Elders' Three Beasts Savage Art was indeed powerful. Fortunately, I broke through to Seven-Star Dou Huang not long ago. Otherwise, I might not have been able to defeat them."

Yao Chen stroked his pale little beard and sighed. "To shake a Dou Zong with the strength of a Dou Huang, you truly are a genius of your generation."

One had to know that there was a bottomless chasm between Dou Huang and Dou Zong; the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.

Dou Zong experts had already begun to grasp the power of the void. They could even fly through the air without relying on Dou Qi Wings.

Although the Mulan Three Elders were all at peak Dou Emperor, the Dou Technique they used could raise one person's strength to the Dou Zong realm.

Yet even under such circumstances, Lin Che had still annihilated all their souls. This showed that his strength had already reached an unparalleled level. He truly was a divine being.

Lin Che smiled faintly. "I can't be called a genius. At most, I'm just an ordinary person."

"If you say that, then there are no geniuses left in this world."

Yao Chen laughed as well. If this little fellow could become his disciple, then he might have a great chance of recovering his physical body in the future.

However, Lin Che's talent had truly shocked Yao Chen. Before even reaching twenty, he could challenge a Dou Zong expert above his level. Even Yao Chen in his lifetime would have avoided such an opponent at all costs.

Just as Yao Chen was about to speak, he seemed to sense something. His gaze shifted toward a cyan figure speeding toward them from afar, and he smiled. "It seems your little girlfriend is here. Hehehe, this old man will take his leave first."

As Yao Chen disappeared, Lin Che heard a sharp rebuke and accusation beside his ear.

"You fool! Do you know how terrifying the Mulan Three Elders are? If something happened to you, what would we do afterward?"

Yun Yun appeared before Lin Che. Looking at the little fellow's bloodless face, her jade-like hands flailed about before her as though she did not know what expression she should make. After a long while, she finally stamped her foot and said angrily, "You, come back with me. I'll take you to see Pill King Gu He. He has healing pills."

Lin Che smiled. "It's fine. I've almost recovered already."

Yun Yun did not believe him. She extended a slender jade finger and gently rested it on Lin Che's pulse. Only after sensing the energy within his body did her tightly furrowed brows relax.

"You little fellow, knowing that they possessed strength in the Dou Zong realm, you still dared to provoke them?"

Yun Yun pinched Lin Che's cheek, mist gathering in her eyes as she said, "I already told my teacher about this. My teacher also agreed to help you frighten off the experts from Mulan Valley and the Yan Luo Sect. Why did you have to show off?"

Lin Che rubbed his nose. "They were only three Dou Emperors. There was no need to make such a fuss. Besides, it would be best not to alarm your teacher."

Yun Yun's brows furrowed slightly as she looked at him. "Where is Xiao Yi Xian? As your disciple, why isn't she taking care of her teacher?"

"She went to cultivate." Lin Che stood up and said with a chuckle, "No matter what, I'm a Dou Huang expert. If I were really that frail, I would have died long ago."

Yun Yun glared at Lin Che with her willow brows raised and scolded him, "At such a young age, you already know how to show off. I should have brought you into the Misty Cloud Sect back then. That way, you would not have offended so many experts."

Seeing Yun Yun chastising him in tender anger, Lin Che could only shake his head. He reached toward his waist, only to discover that his wine gourd had shattered in the earlier battle.

Fortunately, he still had several spares. Otherwise, he would have to drink from jars in the future.

"You're still thinking about drinking? You should rest properly." Yun Yun snatched the wine gourd from Lin Che's hand and said angrily, "If Old Jia had not mentioned this matter, I would never have known that you secretly went to the border region to ambush the three elders of Mulan Valley."

The two entered the Bamboo Pavilion. Yun Yun bit her lip lightly, worry constantly lingering on her delicate face.

After all, they had known each other for three years. Both harbored feelings for the other, but neither had pierced that layer of paper between them.

Yun Yun pressed her rosy lips together, took Lin Che's hand, and said with tears in her eyes, "Don't take risks like this again. If Old Jia and the others had not held back Yan Luo Tian, your soul would have been annihilated long ago."

Of course, Lin Che knew this. However, before taking action, he had already made preparations. If Yan Luo Tian had truly come, he would have used his strongest Dou Technique.

Even if he could not kill him, he would have severely wounded him.

Over the years, Lin Che had always been extremely prudent and never fought battles he was not certain of winning.

Standing beside the railing, Lin Che gazed at the shimmering lake surface and recited dreamily, "They say Luoyang's flowers bloom in splendor, yet when I came, spring had already passed. If the spring breeze had pity for the flowers, could it grant me... youth once more..."

Yun Yun looked at Lin Che's back and silently lowered her head. Then she turned around and said, "Little fellow, I'll be leaving the Jia Ma Empire for a while tomorrow. You... take care of yourself."

"Where are you going?"

Hearing that she was leaving, Lin Che turned around and asked.

"I need to gather a medicinal herb to use as the catalyst for Yan Ran's pill refinement. But don't worry, I won't be heading deep into the Monster Mountain Range this time."

Yun Yun had truly given much for her disciple. She had even wanted to challenge the Sixth-Tier Magical Beast: Purple Crystal Winged Lion King for Purple Spirit Crystal. From this, one could see how much Yun Yun cared for Nalan Yanran.

"What about you? Where are you planning to go?"

"I'm planning to make a trip to the Tagor Desert. Because of Xiao Yi Xian, I need to obtain something for her, and I also need it for steeping wine."

The thing Lin Che spoke of was the Green Fire Lotus Seed. The lotus seed produced by the Green Lotus Core Flame was born alongside the Heavenly Flame itself and contained extremely terrifying fire-attributed energy.

It was also the finest ingredient for brewing strong wine.

Otherwise, he would not have endured the agony of being scorched by raging flames and gone deep into the Tagor Desert in search of the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

Yun Yun frowned. "The Tagor Desert... isn't that the territory of the Snake People Clan?"

The experts of the Jia Ma Empire would not rashly enter the Snake People Clan's territory. Likewise, the Snake People Clan's experts generally remained in their respective tribes and rarely attacked the human world.

If Lin Che rashly entered the depths of the Tagor Desert now, it might cause unnecessary trouble, perhaps even a full-scale war between the two races.
