Roar! The roar of the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King echoed from the Mountain Cave passage behind them.

Upon hearing this roar, Xiao Yuan knew that the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King must have panicked and had broken Beast Binding Rope.

Because he had specifically tied its mouth shut, the fact that the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King could roar now spoke volumes.

As a result, Xiao Yuan quickened his pace.

Although the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King was not slow, it was obviously impossible for it to compete with Xiao Yuan, who was currently at a level of Wind Attribute Dou Qi strength that was temporarily close to that of Da Dou Shi.

"Let's go!"

After muttering something, Xiao Yuan unleashed the Phoenix Flight Step.

This is Mu She's Dou Technique. Although it is only at the Yellow Rank High Level, its straight-line acceleration ability is much better than the Swimming Dragon Step.

Yellow Rank High Level Dou Technique are easy to learn, Xiao Yuan mastered them effortlessly, focusing on having multiple skills to keep him busy.

Xiao Yuan was very fast; the wind whistled past his ears, and soon, his eyes were filled with light.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan released his soul perception again. After confirming that the surroundings were safe enough, he took a running start from the cave entrance, leaped down, and jumped downwards.

Roar! A moment later, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King roared and charged out. Its amethyst crystal body shimmered with light, and rich Purple Flame surged forth under the sun's rays.

In the sky, Yun Yun noticed that Xiao Yuan had successfully emerged from the cave, and that the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King was roaring and raging as if he were his mortal enemy. She knew that he must have succeeded.

He didn't intend to linger in the fight any longer. With a blink of his phoenix eyes, he unleashed a sword beam, slashing towards the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Upon seeing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was startled and quickly flashed to protect his child, shattering the sword light with a slap.

"Roar!"

Upon seeing this Little Amethyst Winged Lion King roared in a hurry, as if it were lodge a complaint.

Yun Yun flapped her wings and scooped Xiao Yuan into her arms just before he was about to fall to his death.

Realizing he was in a soft, fragrant embrace, Xiao Yuan didn't hesitate to hug her again, holding her waist Dou Emperor.

Before Yun Yun could frown and scold him, he whispered in her ear, "Got it, let's go!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yuan's breath was quite hot, and Yun Yun couldn't help but shiver. She then felt that Xiao Yuan's body was burning hot, like a furnace.

"What's wrong with you?"

Yun Yun asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing, I just drank some tonic and I'm a little tipsy now."

As Xiao Yuan felt the waves of heat emanating from his meridians and continuously merging into his bones and flesh, he said with a touch of helplessness.

He still underestimated the pure energy contained in the Amethyst Accompanying Source.

As she watched the purple light spots gradually appear on Xiao Yuan's body and felt the increasingly hot and strong body in her arms, Yun Yun immediately realized that Xiao Yuan's situation was probably not good.

"You despicable humans! You even stole the Amethyst Accompanying Source! Today, I will make sure you both perish here!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's furious roar resounded through the sky, and dense Purple Flame swept out, covering the heavens and the earth.

"Snort!"

Seeing this, Yun Yun snorted coldly, her jade hand slightly rotating in front of her. A huge azure tornado suddenly appeared on her body, spinning wildly and blowing the overwhelming Purple Flame back.

Immediately afterwards, she brandished her longsword, tracing an eerie arc. In an instant, the sword trembled violently, and a clear, cold shout escaped from her rosy lips:

"The Wind Extremes, Meteorite Kill!"

Upon hearing Yun Yun's delicate shout, the Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a solemn roar, its massive head shaking slightly, and the familiar purple light once again filled the sky.

However, just as the Amethyst Winged Lion King was preparing to use its strongest power to receive Yun Yun's terrifying attack that had once destroyed its horn, Yun Yun quickly put the longsword in her hand into her Storage Ring, then turned her body, flapped her wings, and disappeared without a trace after a few flashes with Xiao Yuan!

"Despicable humans!"

Seeing that Yun Yun had actually cheated, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was furious. But Yun Yun wanted to run away, and he really couldn't catch up. At that moment, he could only vent his impotent rage in the mountains.

On the other side, Yun Yun, carrying Xiao Yuan, rushed back to the valley at an extremely fast speed. She landed quickly, only to find that the little rascal was clinging to her tightly and had fainted.

With great effort, she managed to pull the little rascal off her body. Her delicate hands touched his body, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Such domineering energy! What did this little rascal do?"

But Xiao Yuan looked like he was sleeping soundly (and enjoying the embrace), and didn't seem to be in any danger.

Just because there is no danger now doesn't mean there won't be any danger later.

Therefore, Yun Yun did not dare to be careless and kept her heart in her throat as she watched Xiao Yuan.

As time went by, the purple radiance on his body became increasingly intense, showing a faint tendency to transform into a cocoon. At the same time, his aura gradually became stronger.

Seeing this, Yun Yun tilted her head in confusion.

She'd never seen anything like it before!

What human would use a cocoon-like process to begin advancing after absorbing excessive energy?

But it seems like there shouldn't be any major problems.

After a moment, seeing that the purple light on Xiao Yuan's body seemed to be weakening, Yun Yun finally felt much more at ease.

At this moment, purple light filled Xiao Yuan's body, creating a purple aura throughout.

The purple light was particularly intense at the heart area.

The heart belongs to fire, and this Amethyst Accompanying Source also contains pure Fire Attribute Energy. With the two in harmony, most of the energy in the Amethyst Accompanying Source gathers in the heart and flows along the heart to the meridians in the body, strengthening it little by little.

Occasionally, Purple Flame would appear during the process, but they would be immediately subdued by the Heavenly Flames within Xiao Yuan's body, transforming back into pure energy to strengthen his body.

As for the berserk factor, it didn't cause Xiao Yuan any trouble at all.

What a joke! No matter how violent it is, can it be more violent than Heavenly Flames? As time went by, some of the pure energy transformed from the Amethyst Accompanying Source within Xiao Yuan's body merged into Xiao Yuan's body, strengthening his physical attributes, while the rest entered his Qi Mansion, causing Xiao Yuan's strength to increase by another star.

When Xiao Yuan opened his eyes, he was already lying in his own bed.

A faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and he sat up and walked out of the room.

There was no one inside.

So he pushed open the door, and was immediately stunned.

The esteemed Dou Emperor, Yun Yun, who usually never lifts a finger, was actually cooking porridge for him.

This must be a dream!

Xiao Yuan shook his head, just as he was about to pinch himself awake, when he suddenly heard Yun Yun's clear, cold yet concerned voice. "You're awake? The porridge is almost ready, wait a moment."

"Uh, thank you for your hard work, sister."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and walked over, looking at Yun Yun who was cooking porridge.

"This is Amethyst Spirit Crystal, sister, please keep it safe."

Xiao Yuan took out the Amethyst Spirit Crystal from his Storage Ring and handed it to Yun Yun.

"Um."

Yun Yun nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively asked:

"Do you want to go to the Misty Cloud Sect to cultivate?"

"Hmm? Why are you suddenly asking that?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan asked without revealing his true feelings.

"You have Wind Attribute Dou Qi qi, and your talent is also good. Misty Cloud Sect is very suitable for you."

Yun Yun explained it very casually.

"No, I've already entered Jia Nan Academy, but I've taken leave again, so it's definitely inconvenient for me to join another sect."

Xiao Yuan shook his head, rejecting the suicide proposal.

Who knows if there are people from the Soul Hall in the Misty Cloud Sect right now? If I go there, wouldn't I be walking into the lion's den?

Besides, I also need to go find Hai Lao and experience the feeling of being refreshed.

Misty Cloud Sect? No way!

"Of course, I would be quite interested if I could cultivate with my sister."

Just as Yun Yun was about to say a few more words of advice, she realized that the little rascal in front of her was teasing her again. Immediately, her eyebrows furrowed, and she struck with lightning speed, pinching Xiao Yuan's waist and twisting it.

"Ouch, I was wrong, I was wrong, sister, be gentle!"

Xiao Yuan's face contorted in pain as he cried out.

"Hmph, fine, don't go then. You don't appreciate my kindness. Hurry up and eat, I have to leave after you finish!"

Yun Yun gave a soft hum, then casually fanned out the firewood before ladling out a bowl of porridge and handing it to Xiao Yuan.

When Xiao Yuan heard that Yun Yun was about to leave, he took the porridge, hesitated for a moment, and said, "If I don't want to eat, could you please not leave?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun stiffened and threatened in a low voice, "If you don't eat, I'll send you away right now!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan fell silent, quietly scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and put it in his mouth.

"Hiss!"

The scalding hot porridge made Xiao Yuan's eyes roll back. He quickly circulated his Ice Attribute Douqi into his mouth, which made him feel much better.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's somewhat comical appearance, Yun Yun's lips curled into a smile, but she quickly regained her composure and began to sip her porridge.

Fortunately, the skill level in making this porridge is not high. Yun Yun's first time making it, and although the taste wasn't particularly good, it was at least edible and of acceptable quality.

Although the two ate very slowly and didn't talk much, the meal eventually came to an end, and the banquet had to come to a close.

After clearing away the dishes, Yun Yun broke the silence by saying, "I'm about to leave."

"Um."

Xiao Yuan lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's depressed look, Yun Yun also felt a little uncomfortable. Although the way the two met and became acquainted was a bit special, it was undeniable that the handsome young man in front of her had indeed stirred up ripples in her heart, which had been quiet for many years.

"Within five years, I will definitely break through to the Dou Emperor, and then..."

Raising his head, Xiao Yuan stared into Yun Yun's eyes and said earnestly.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's gaze, Yun Yun realized what he hadn't said. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she said reproachfully, "Then I won't have to worry about accidentally slapping you to death!"

"Hehe!"

Xiao Yuan smiled upon hearing this.

"I'm leaving now. Hope we meet again someday."

Yun Yun smiled faintly, then composed herself and said.

"Yes, that day is not far away."

Xiao Yuan nodded, his eyes shining like stars.

Yun Yun remained noncommittal upon hearing this. Her body trembled slightly, and wings popped out from her back. After giving Xiao Yuan a deep look, her wings slowly flapped, carrying her into the air.

"I left something in your bedside table in the hopes that it might be of help."

Looking down at the handsome young man, Yun Yun smiled, gave him a word of advice, flapped her wings, and flew into the sky, gradually disappearing from Xiao Yuan's sight.

Watching Yun Yun leave with a hint of reluctance, Xiao Yuan clenched his fists tightly, calmed himself down, and then entered the wooden house.

A faint fragrance still lingered in the room, but the beauty had already gone.

Xiao Yuan sat on the edge of the bed and opened the bedside table.

A pale blue light came into view.

That was the inner armor that had been taken from Yun Yun earlier.

Two dark blue scrolls were pressed down on top of the inner armor.

After taking it out, at the bottom was a piece of paper with delicate handwriting.

"This inner armor is called the Heart of the Sea Armor. It is made of a strange metal produced in the belly of a sixth-tier sea monster, the Three-Tailed Blue Whale. Its defensive power depends on the strength of its owner. Although you are currently only Dou Shi, with the protection of this inner armor, attacks from ordinary Da Dou Shi cannot easily harm you."

The other two Dou Technique include a Profound Rank High Level Wind Attribute Dou Technique called "Wind Willow Fleeting Shadow," which can be used to pursue enemies or retreat to save one's life.

The other is Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique, Wind Extremes, Meteorite Kill. Once mastered, it is comparable to Earth Rank Dou Techniques, and you can use it as a trump card.

"Cultivate diligently; I eagerly await the day you become Dou Huang expert)."

"They actually gave me Dou Technique of this level!"

Looking at the dark blue scroll in his hand, Xiao Yuan was somewhat lost in thought.

These two Dou Technique are probably the top-tier Dou Technique of the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Wow, this is too good for me."

Xiao Yuan rubbed his temples, burying this feeling deep in his heart, and then looked at the Heart of the Sea Armor with a complicated expression.

The material and workmanship of this inner armor are top-notch, and the damaged parts have been repaired by Yun Yun.

Moreover, this thing is stretchy. Judging from the situation a few days ago, Yun Yun had been wearing this inner armor close to her body as underwear. Fortunately, the design of this inner armor is more like a sports vest than a women's underwear style, otherwise Xiao Yuan really wouldn't have been able to wear it.

Even so, it was as if she and Yun Yun were wearing the same vest, and a faint fragrance still lingered on the inner armor.

Even with Xiao Yuan's composure, it would be difficult for him to remain calm about this.

To be honest, this inner armor was indeed quite important to him; no one would risk their own life.

However, without this inner armor, wouldn't Yun Yun be less safe if she encountered danger? Xiao Yuan suddenly felt a little worried again.

After a moment, he suppressed the thoughts in his mind and put on the inner armor first.

Next, we'll head to the Tagor Desert, which is far more dangerous than the Monster Mountain Range.

As for those two Dou Technique, let's start practicing them as well.

Holding two dark blue scrolls, Xiao Yuan walked out of the hut and skillfully went to the place where he used to practice his Dou Technique. He then opened the scroll of "Wind Willow Fleeting Shadow" and began to study it carefully.

A moment later, Xiao Yuan began to practice his Dou Technique. His figure swayed like willow catkins. In the valley, the boy's figure would appear and disappear at times. His movements were elegant Yun Yun of clouds.

Sigh, there will probably be more later. I fell asleep this afternoon, as expected.
