An Intimate Moment, Three-Colored Fire Lotus! Less than half an incense stick after Xiao Yan left, waves of scorching wind surged into the cave, heating even the flowing water.

"Not good!"

Yun Yun went pale with fright and desperately urged her Dou Qi, but it was utterly useless.

"Human woman! Get out here!"

The top of the cave exploded apart, and a massive lion stood suspended in the air.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King! "Master..." Nalan Yanran was terrified.

The pressure of a Rank 6 Magical Beast rivaled that of a human Dou Huang.

"Lion King, I apologize for disturbing you, but I truly need the Amethyst Spirit Crystal."

Even with her strength sealed, Yun Yun remained poised and unyielding, carrying herself with fresh elegance and noble dignity.

"Heh heh!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King laughed furiously. "A treasure that my Amethyst Winged Lion Clan can only shed a tiny piece of once every twenty years—do you think you can have it just because you ask?"

"Is it because of me..." Nalan Yanran's pretty face turned pale.

She finally seemed to realize just how much trouble her former arrogance and willfulness had caused herself and those around her.

"Lion King, I cannot give you the Transformation Pill you want, but I can offer you however many Rank 6 Pills you desire."

"I want your life!"

Purple light flared brightly in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's beast eyes. Its enormous claw swept down toward Yun Yun in a blaze of vivid violet radiance.

"Master... I'm sorry..." Nalan Yanran closed her eyes in despair.

The gale sent her dark hair flying, while Yun Yun's eyes remained calm and undisturbed.

To think that the dignified Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect would fall in a place like this.

I have truly failed Master's teachings...

"If you dare bring that claw down, I can't guarantee your child's safety."

With that indifferent voice, Xiao Yan descended from the sky, his broad bone wings beating with sharp clacks.

"Human!"

Seeing the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King in Xiao Yan's hand, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flew into a rage.

"You humans are too despicable! Release my child!"

"Plop!"

Xiao Yan tossed the dazed Little Amethyst Winged Lion King into the distance and raised his right hand impassively.

"Whoosh!"

The Mysterious Yellow Flame and Myriad Beast Spirit Fire surged forth, converging into an exquisite fire lotus.

"Heavenly Flames?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was both shocked and enraged, purple radiance growing ever more intense around its body.

However.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's target was not Xiao Yan.

It was Yun Yun!

With a beat of its wings, the Amethyst Winged Lion King fired a violet pillar of flame two or three zhang thick down at Yun Yun below.

It could tell that Xiao Yan was merely a Dou Ling.

Compared to Xiao Yan, this human Dou Huang who had nearly chopped off its head was far more hateful!

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion rang out across the ground. From within the smoke and dust, a figure shot into the sky.

Xiao Yan held Yun Yun in one arm and carried the still-shaken Nalan Yanran in the other, dodging the Amethyst Winged Lion King's attacks.

"You master and disciple should lose some weight," Xiao Yan said helplessly.

"You..."

Yun Yun's pretty face reddened as she hurled several bottles and jars at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

When the bottles exploded, a small cloud of fine powder drifted onto Xiao Yan and Yun Yun.

"Wait!"

Xiao Yan's expression stiffened. "Where did you get those bottles you just threw?"

"They were yours!" Yun Yun blinked lightly.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Yan frantically circulated his Dou Qi, trying to force out the medicinal powder.

But the more intensely he circulated it, the faster the powder took effect.

"What exactly were those powders..." Yun Yun felt her body growing hotter and hotter, her face faintly flushing.

"Ask your precious disciple!" Xiao Yan roared.

"Huh?"

The swaying Nalan Yanran looked utterly bewildered. "Were they the powders confiscated from the Ghost Gate Elder? There was Secluded Dream Powder, healing medicine, aphrodisiacs..."

Aphrodisiacs?

Yun Yun's body trembled as she snapped, "Why did you collect such things?"

"Miss, what I want to do is my business. I never told you to throw them around!"

"Whoosh!"

Several thick pillars of flame swept past them. The scorching fire instantly increased the speed at which the powder took effect severalfold.

Yun Yun's gaze turned hazy at once.

Then.

Xiao Yan felt in horror as something soft covered his lips.

This is bad!

Suppressing the circulation of his Dou Qi with all his might, Xiao Yan let Yun Yun wrap her arms around his neck, but her movements became increasingly improper.

"Whoosh!"

Xiao Yan's massive white bone wings beat violently. Two-colored Heavenly Flames spread across them, and his speed surged explosively.

Like a flash of light.

Xiao Yan landed atop a distant mountain peak and summoned the Fire Cloud Water Flame, only to discover with delight that this Heavenly Flame could rapidly eliminate the medicinal powder.

"Smack!"

Xiao Yan struck Yun Yun's back with his palm, completely annihilating the powder.

When Yun Yun came to, her face was full of confusion.

Then.

A surge of shame and anger flooded her expression.

"Take Yanran and leave quickly! The Amethyst Winged Lion King is about to catch up!"

"Leave?"

Faced with the Amethyst Winged Lion King's repeated attacks, Xiao Yan was growing angry as well.

"Swish!"

His figure flashed. Before Yun Yun's astonished eyes, he condensed another Two-Colored Fire Lotus and viciously hurled it at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Human!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared in fury. A purple flame storm containing all its energy crashed into the incoming fire lotus with a rumbling roar.

"Boom!"

A heaven-shattering explosion erupted. Amid the shattered purple flame storm, the fire lotus, carrying its remaining energy, struck the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

It exploded violently!

"Clang!" Within the enormous phantom of the fire lotus, the Amethyst Winged Lion King fell like a meteor toward the ground.

The hard earth collapsed through several layers, blasting open a deep crater.

"Magical Beasts are Magical Beasts. Their cultivation speed may be poor, but their bodies are truly tough!"

Watching the blood-soaked Amethyst Winged Lion King struggle within the crater, Yao Lao praised, "If an ordinary Dou Huang had taken the explosion's force head-on with their body, even if they survived, they would have lost a few parts!"

"Human!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared furiously, madness surging into its eyes.

"Still want to struggle?"

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and formed another Two-Colored Fire Lotus.

Then.

Without pausing in the slightest, he summoned a brown, turtle-shaped flame.

"Crack, crack!"

As the brown flame merged into the Two-Colored Fire Lotus, even the space around the lotus trembled, showing faint signs of shattering.

The fire lotus.

Three-colored!

"What a powerful Dou Technique! Is it Earth-tier or Heaven-tier?" Yun Yun's mouth went dry.

"Buzz!"

Xiao Yan held the fire lotus in one hand as he stood in the air, looking down coldly upon the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Lion King, farewell."

Feeling the terrifying aura of the Three-Colored Fire Lotus, the Amethyst Winged Lion King cried out in terror.

"Human, I don't want the Transformation Pill anymore! Please spare me!"

"Swish!"

Just as he was about to throw the fire lotus, Xiao Yan's lips curled slightly, and his wrist flicked.

With a whoosh.

The fire lotus streaked past the Amethyst Winged Lion King and exploded far away.

A gigantic, bewitching lotus of three colors bloomed.

The ground within a thousand meters was instantly reduced to powder! "Gulp!"

Feeling the aura that could have annihilated it, the Amethyst Winged Lion King lowered its head in terror.

Its huge bowed head trembled violently.

"You still need the Transformation Pill." Xiao Yan flashed down and sat before the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"No! No!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King shook its head like a rattle drum.

"Smack!"

Xiao Yan teasingly patted the Amethyst Winged Lion King's huge head and chuckled.

"I'm not an unreasonable person. I have taken the Amethyst Spirit Crystal and Accompanying Amethyst Source. In return, once I gather the materials for a Transformation Pill, I'll refine one for you."

"Really?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King was stunned.

"Of course."

As healing powder was continuously sprinkled over its wounds, the Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded frantically.

This human isn't so bad, it thought honestly, lowering its head.

"Oh, right. I also want to take your son with me."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's enormous face went blank for a moment before instantly collapsing!
