Yuan Xiao!

"Yuan Xiao! How did those monster bloodstains on my body disappear?! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

In the evening, Xiao Yuan was practicing the Wind Scroll Technique when he suddenly heard Yun Yun's embarrassed and annoyed voice.

Immediately afterwards, he opened his eyes, stood up, and as soon as he turned around, a long sword gleaming with a cold light was pointed at his throat.

Yun Yun's cheeks were flushed, and she was lightly biting her red lips, looking like a wounded heroine who had been taken advantage of by a shameless thief and was now coming to confront him after recovering.

She was lying in bed, bored, so she started reviewing her battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King. She kept reviewing until she realized that she didn't seem to have that much blood on her body when she used the monster's blood to cover her aura.

Even her clothes were dry, and then a possibility that horrified and angered her surfaced in her mind:

Could it be that this young man had cleaned her body? But if that were the case, wouldn't her entire body have been seen and touched? The thought of such a terrifying possibility made her tremble all over, and she rushed out with her sword in hand.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan was taken aback, his gaze sweeping over Yun Yun's curvaceous body.

"You're still looking! And I trusted you so much!"

Yun Yun's delicate body trembled, and she was so anxious that her voice was almost breaking with tears.

"Hey, Sister Yun, you're so slow to react! This happened yesterday!"

Xiao Yuan shrugged helplessly.

"So, you really care about me?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun's eyes welled up with tears, and she suddenly found the handsome young man in front of her to be repulsive.

What have I done for you?

Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes, grabbed the tip of the sword, and let the sharp blade cut his palm.

What are you doing!

Yun Yun was startled when she saw this, thinking that Xiao Yuan was going to take the sword, but after seeing that Xiao Yuan had only cut his own palm, she looked at him with concern.

Xiao Yuan calmly turned the blood flowing from his hand into ice crystals and casually scattered them on the ground.

"Do you understand?"

Extending his clean hands, Xiao Yuan asked helplessly.

"You... you can use Ice Attribute Douqi like this?"

Yun Yun was taken aback when she saw this, and blinked blankly.

"Otherwise what? Would I go to the trouble of taking off your clothes, wiping the blood off your body, and then putting your dirty clothes back on? Do I look like a fool? Playing the fool?"

Xiao Yuan questioned him with a cold face.

"Uh, but aren't you cultivating Wind Attribute Dou Qi? Why?"

Yun Yun realized she had made a big misunderstanding and muttered a little embarrassedly as she asked.

"Because I'm a genius!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand. On one hand, black, chilling energy surged, and on the other, a swirling blue wind danced.

Looking at this scene, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes widened, her red lips parted slightly, and her face was full of disbelief.

This is possible? It has two attributes?! "My God!"

Yun Yun raised her hand, covered her mouth, and let out a sigh. The long sword in her hand clattered to the ground.

"Satisfied? You should go back and get some rest. Once you're healed, you can leave."

Xiao Yuan shook his head in disdain and waved his hand in acknowledgment.

After saying that, he took out the Blood Coagulation Powder and poured it onto his palm.

The wound quickly scabbed over.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Yun Yun said with a face full of apology.

"It's alright. It's all my fault for not really taking off your clothes and washing your body clean. That way, you would have a reason to stab me to death with your sword. Oh, no, a Dou Huang expert doesn't really need a reason to kill a Dou Shi."

Xiao Yuan waved his hand coldly and said... Hearing the first half of Xiao Yuan's sentence, Yun Yun's pretty face flushed again, but then she heard the strong resentment in the second half of his sentence, and she panicked a little. She quickly moved closer, looked at Xiao Yuan pitifully, and said softly:

"Don't be angry, it's all my fault."

"I wouldn't dare. You are a noble Dou Emperor, tsk tsk. You eat my food, use the best medicine that I myself am reluctant to use, wear my clothes, and still want to kill me. That's how Dou Huang expert are. Oh well, it's all my fault for being unable to resist a beautiful woman and going to so much trouble to bring you back."

Xiao Yuan shook his head and sneered.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun took Xiao Yuan's hand, looked at the scabbed wound on his hand, and then thought of the skin on her chest that had healed and was even whiter and more tender than before. Her eyes reddened, and she quickly said:

"Then use it quickly. Consider it as me buying your healing medicine. I'll give Storage Ring to you and give you the money when I recover my Dou Qi in a couple of days."

"No sale! This little injury isn't worth such a waste. I acted impulsively. I'm sorry, it's reasonable for you to have such doubts. I didn't explain it to you earlier, so please don't mind."

Xiao Yuan broke free from Yun Yun's hand, walked to the side, and sat down.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun's eyes welled up with tears, and she finally couldn't hold back any longer, letting out a sob.

When Xiao Yuan heard that Yun Yun seemed to be crying, he felt a little panicked. However, Yun Yun's act of pointing a sword at his throat really disgusted him. He immediately thought of Nalan Yanran, who was high and mighty in the Xiao Clan back then, relying on her master being Yun Yun and having the Misty Cloud Sect behind her, forcing him to submit to her.

So the words were spoken a bit harsher.

To be honest, he has had a pretty good impression of Yun Yun these past few days.

But his previous behavior really displeased him; he hated the feeling of being threatened.

But hearing Yun Yun's aggrieved and anxious sobs, Xiao Yuan's heart softened.

"Sigh, don't cry. It's really not your fault. I was thinking about some unpleasant things earlier and took it out on you. I'm sorry."

Xiao Yuan couldn't hold back any longer. He went to Yun Yun's side, took out a white handkerchief, and wiped away the tears on her face.

"However, I must tell you that I don't like being threatened, especially by someone like you, whom I have a good impression of. You can joke around with me, but I don't accept that you actually have such thoughts about me."

Even if you are Dou Emperor, a top expert in the Jia Ma Empire, I am confident that your cultivation speed is not faster than mine. Unless you go all out and kill me, I will definitely come back for revenge after I become stronger. But fortunately, I can't bear to kill a beautiful woman like you!

But I swear I'll make you give me seven or eight kids, haha.

Before Yun Yun could even feel a little comforted, she heard Xiao Yuan seriously "threaten" her in return.

The last sentence, in particular, has a rather teasing tone.

"Young in age, but bold in courage!"

Yun Yun blushed and muttered.

"Hehe, you're the one who asked me to call you 'sister,' which brought us closer. What man wouldn't like a woman like you? It's just that I'm currently weak, so even if I really liked you, all I could do was make you laugh."

But you just wait, give me another three to five years, and you definitely won't be able to beat me. Then you'll see how bold I really am.

Xiao Yuan put away the handkerchief and smiled faintly.

"Pfft, alright, I'll wait! If you can't beat me, you have to promise me one thing."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun Forbidden Area smile and nodded with her eyes crinkling.

"Hmph, fine!"

Xiao Yuan readily agreed.

"Are you still in pain?"

She took Xiao Yuan's hand and asked softly.

"How about I give you one too, then you'll know if it hurts or not."

Xiao Yuan offered his earnest advice.

"You dare!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun raised her eyebrows and said in a deliberately fierce manner.

"Hehe."

Xiao Yuan smiled indifferently, and then simply sat down next to Yun Yun.

"Hey, you said earlier that you were angry with me because you remembered something. What was it?"

Looking at Xiao Yuan's expression, Yun Yun asked a question out of curiosity.

"Well, let me tell you a story. The story is called, 'Never underestimate a young man's potential!' Once upon a time, there was a genius boy."

"What? How could that girl do this? Wouldn't that ruin the reputation of the young man's family?"

After listening, Yun Yun frowned slightly and said.

"Well, I guess so. But that young man later washed away his shame and gradually rose to the pinnacle of the continent, letting go of past grievances."

As for me, my situation is a bit better. Although I also encountered the annulment of my engagement, things didn't escalate too much. However, the feeling of someone being high and mighty, threatening my life, really disgusted me. The way my sister pointed a sword at me just now, thinking that I was taking advantage of her and doing something despicable, really made me feel uncomfortable.

In particular, I had a really good impression of Sister Yun, which felt like being betrayed by someone close to me, so I unintentionally took my anger out on her.

Xiao Yuan nodded and looked earnestly into Yun Yun's eyes as he spoke.

"So, that's why you ventured alone into the Monster Mountain Range to fight monsters and accelerate your cultivation?"

Yun Yun asked with a concerned expression.

"Um."

Xiao Yuan nodded.

"It's really not easy."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun sighed and slowly said, "Hehe, within the family, my talent is the best, so naturally I should shoulder some responsibilities that others cannot."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said it as a matter of course.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's late, sister, go back and rest. Sleep is a good way to recover your health!"

Xiao Yuan stood up and said with concern.

"Hmm, you still want to cultivate?"

Yun Yun nodded and asked.

"Yes, I'm planning to leave here soon. Hmm, I'll probably be going to the Tagor Desert. My two older brothers have set up a mercenary group there, and I want to go and take a look."

Xiao Yuan responded with a smile.

"Okay, I'm going back to my room now."

Yun Yun nodded upon hearing this, then turned and walked back into the wooden house.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then immediately sat down cross-legged and began cultivating.

The valley is rich in the energy of heaven and earth, making it an excellent place for cultivation.

Inside the room, Yun Yun pushed open the window a crack and peered through the gap at Xiao Yuan, who was cultivating. A strange light appeared in her eyes.

What a coincidence, she's also going to the Tagor Desert in a while.

It seems there's a chance we'll meet again after this separation!

As she thought of this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a crescent moon shape.

Five days later.

Inside the valley, Yun Yun emerged from her room, carrying a long sword upside down. She had changed into a light blue dress, and her long, loose hair had been styled into a phoenix bun, exuding a subtle noble air. Her beautiful face was serene and elegant.

When she saw Xiao Yuan's gaze shift towards her, she hesitated for a moment before finally giving him a kind smile.

"It seems the seal on my sister has been broken? Are you getting ready to make your move?"

Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Yes, wear this crystal on your body. As long as you get close to the Amethyst Spirit Crystal, it will heat up. You can find the Amethyst Spirit Crystal by sensing the heat of the crystal."

Yun Yun took out a small diamond-shaped crystal from her Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Yuan with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan tucked the item into his inner chest pocket and nodded, "Don't worry, let alone a single Amethyst Spirit Crystal, if it's convenient, I'll just give him all of them!"

"Ha, I can't use that much. If you bring it all out, the Lion King will probably go crazy."

Yun Yun smiled upon hearing this.

Then, she changed the subject. "I will use a secret technique to give you strength close to that of Da Dou Shi in a short time. I am also of the Wind Attribute, which can greatly increase your speed. If you encounter any magical beasts blocking your way, try not to fight them, lest the fluctuations of the battle attract more magical beasts, and then you will be in trouble!"

"I know, the main goal is to go in and find the Amethyst Spirit Crystal; we won't linger in battle."

Xiao Yuan nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay, I'll begin then!"

"Good."

Seeing Xiao Yuan nod, Yun Yun came to Xiao Yuan's side, her jade hand slowly reaching out and gently placing it on Xiao Yuan's back. With a thought, a surge of Dou Qi energy suddenly poured in.

This forceful intrusion of fighting Dou Qi did not cause any disturbance due to the unfamiliar body. Instead, under the control of Yun Yun's thoughts, it flowed very gently through Xiao Yuan's meridians.

After carefully sensing it, Xiao Yuan discovered that this powerful Dou Qi was actually as much as the total Dou Qi in his five Qi Mansion combined.

"What an amazing secret technique!"

Clenching his fist tightly, Xiao Yuan exclaimed with some excitement.

At this moment, he was fully confident in fighting a third-tier magical beast!

"This amount of Dou Qi is enough for you to use for an hour. Within this hour, you must retrieve the Amethyst Spirit Crystal from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave." Yun Yun reminded him softly, "I will try my best to hold it off, but you also need to hurry. That beast's intelligence is no less than that of humans. If it discovers something, there may not be many opportunities later."

"Okay, shall we set off?"

Nodding, Xiao Yuan gazed at the stunningly beautiful face beside him and smiled.

"Hmm." Yun Yun nodded slightly, her body trembling slightly. A pair of azure energy wings slowly extended from her back. However, when she looked up at Xiao Yuan's actions, she was stunned. Then, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and she asked shyly and angrily, "What do you want to do?"

Xiao Yuan, who was making a hugging gesture, blinked when he heard Yun Yun's question and said matter-of-factly, "It's such a long distance, you're not going to make me run there by myself, are you? What if I encounter a fourth or fifth-level magical beast along the way? Wouldn't I die halfway there?"

Her long eyelashes trembled violently. After a moment, Yun Yun took a deep breath and nodded helplessly.

Seeing her nod, Xiao Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and he slowly walked forward, clinging to Yun Yun as if Xiao Yi Xian had clung to him before.

Being embraced tightly by the boy for such a legitimate reason, even though Yun Yun was Dou Huang expert, her breathing quickened, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks, which had previously tried to appear indifferent.

"Sister, shall we go?"

Xiao Yuan deliberately breathed into Yun Yun's ear and whispered.

"You little rascal, if you do anything naughty again, I'll throw you off the sky!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun's eyes flashed with embarrassment and anger, and she pinched Xiao Yuan's waist hard and twisted it.

"Hiss!"

Xiao Yuan felt a sharp pain in his waist and couldn't help but gasp, so he hugged her even tighter.

Yun Yun's large cloud-like body was also squeezed and flattened, making her very uncomfortable.

Gritting her teeth, Yun Yun's wings fluttered slightly, and she quickly took off and flew into the sky.

"Don't hug me so tightly!"

A moment later, Yun Yun muttered, her face flushed.

"What if you throw me down if I don't hold on tight?"

Xiao Yuan said confidently.

"Then can't you take care of your own body?"

Yun Yun blushed even more, her eyes filled with embarrassment and annoyance.

Her abdomen was being pressed against something, which was very uncomfortable.

"Sister, this is because a gentleman keeps his talents hidden."

Xiao Yuan said without changing his expression.

"Yuan Xiao! I'm really going to throw you down!"

Yun Yun put on a stern face and said angrily.

"Alright, alright, I'll talk to him and get him to back down!"

Seeing that Yun Yun was getting anxious, Xiao Yuan lowered his head and said meekly.

Then, Xiao Yuan hugged Yun Yun tightly, closed his eyes slightly, and began to circulate the Mystic Ice Skill.

Soon, the internal heat was suppressed considerably.

Yun Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief when she felt that the foreign object in her lower abdomen was gone.

"You little rascal, and you still call yourself a decent person!"

Yun Yun couldn't help but scold him playfully.

"Yes, I really am doing this out of respect for Sister Yun. You have a great figure and you're beautiful. I'm holding you so tightly, if you didn't react at all, that would be disrespectful!"

Xiao Yuan said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun was speechless. It sounded like absurd logic, but it actually made a bit of sense? "No, stop it! You could have easily controlled yourself! You're just deliberately teasing people!"

But she quickly realized what was happening and pinched Xiao Yuan's waist again.

"Hiss, Dou Huang expert, you're bullying a Dou Shi like me, aren't you!"

Xiao Yuan gasped, his face twitching with pain.

"Hmph, if you dare to be so presumptuous again, I'll use you as a hidden weapon later!"

Yun Yun gave a light snort, threatening him with a touch of arrogance.

"Hehe, I won't move."

Xiao Yuan smiled upon hearing this and stopped acting strangely. He obediently hugged the fragrant and soft beauty in his arms, enjoying the gentle breeze.

"Sister Yun, what level of Dou Emperor are you now?"

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yuan continued to ask.

Feeling the warm breath on her ear, Yun Yun had gotten used to it and said helplessly, "Three stars."

"What about the Amethyst Winged Lion King?"

"All things considered, it's probably around three stars, but the Lion King's close-combat ability is comparable to a four or Five Star Dou Huang."

Yun Yun then answered.

"Then be careful later, I will find the Amethyst Spirit Crystal as soon as possible."

Xiao Yuan nodded and said seriously.

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun nodded, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips.

As Dou Huang expert with the Wind Attribute, Yun Yun was extremely fast, and it didn't take long for her to approach the cave of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

With a flash of blue light, the two silently landed on a messy pile of stones.

After landing, Xiao Yuan very consciously released Yun Yun, whom he was holding tightly. His gaze swept over the huge mountain not far away. At the top of the mountain, a huge cave entrance was faintly visible, hidden by the branches of the trees.

"Is that the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair?" Standing behind the rock, Xiao Yuan's gaze swept across the mountaintop as he asked softly.

"Hmm." Nodding slightly, Yun Yun's gaze slowly swept over the vicinity of the Mountain Cave, her brows furrowing slightly as she said, "The defenses around here are much tighter now. It seems that guy has increased his vigilance as well."

Turning to Xiao Yuan, she instructed him, "I will try my best to kill or injure some of the high-level magical beasts at the cave entrance. The rest is up to you."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Xiao Yuan smiled confidently and nodded.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's confident smile, Yun Yun felt inexplicably at ease. After a slight smile, she whispered to Xiao Yuan, "You... be careful, don't get into trouble."

Xiao Yuan nodded, blinked, and said with a smile, "Sister, you should also be careful, or I'll take advantage of you again."

After giving Xiao Yuan a helpless glare, Yun Yun flapped her wings and gracefully leaped into the air, then flew towards the huge cave entrance like lightning.

When she entered within a hundred meters of the Mountain Cave, a series of beast roars echoed throughout the entire mountain range.

Yun Yun clenched her jade hand, and a strange cyan longsword appeared in her palm. Instantly, her figure transformed into a streak of cyan light and shadow, and she swooped down into the dense forest surrounding the Mountain Cave.

The next moment, a series of mournful roars of beasts rose and fell, and many magical beasts fled in panic from the vicinity of the Mountain Cave. Under the sword of the Dou Emperor, these magical beasts had no power to fight back.

"Human woman! How dare you show your face?! Today I will take your life to avenge the destruction of your horn!"

As Yun Yun slaughtered the magical beasts guarding the Mountain Cave, the furious roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly erupted within the enormous cave.

As the roar resounded, a purple beam of light shot out of the cave like lightning, then crashed into the dense forest. The purple light burst forth, destroying the surrounding forest completely.

Immediately afterwards, two beams of light, one blue and one purple, shot straight into the sky in a chase, and then began a fierce collision thousands of meters above the ground.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes, his azure Wind Attribute Dou Qi flowed, and he took a step with the Swimming Dragon Step, his figure transforming into a blue shadow as he quickly darted into the dense forest, concealing his presence, and made his way towards the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave.

The journey was smooth and unimpeded. Yun Yun had clearly gone all out, leaving many monster corpses scattered all over the ground.

However, Xiao Yuan didn't care about these things. He released his soul perception to ensure his safety and rushed to the mountain peak at top speed. Soon, the huge cave entrance came into view.

However, the problem is that there are still two third-tier magical beasts surviving at the cave entrance, but they are now trembling in fear due to the two terrifying pressures from the sky.

Normally, Xiao Yuan would have gone straight up and started fighting without saying a word.

But now I have things to do, so naturally I can't afford to tremble with them.

After a moment's thought, he had an idea.
