The Treasure Ye Hao Left for Himself in the Simulation?

In the blink of an eye, a night had passed.

Ye Hao still had not emerged.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King waited anxiously outside. It had tried several times.

No matter how much blood it dripped, the stone wall showed no reaction at all!

It was utterly baffled.

They were both blood—why was it being treated differently?

If they came back, it would never be able to clear its name, even if it jumped into the Yellow River.

At that moment, Yun Yun and the others' voices came from outside the Cave Mansion.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King went outside and explained to Yun Yun and Xun Er that Ye Hao had entered the seal and vanished without a trace.

Naturally, they did not believe it.

It had no choice but to bring them before the stone wall within the Cave Mansion.

The three of them saw the scarlet blood on the wall!

They immediately flew into a rage.

"Bastard! I'll slice you into ten thousand pieces!!!!"

Golden flames danced wildly in Xun Er's Beautiful Eyes, and her aura abruptly rose to the Da Dou Shi level.

The golden flames in her palm transformed into a blade that gleamed with sharp light.

With a sweep of her jade-like hand!

The blade tore through the air, setting off a piercing sonic boom as it stabbed toward the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's throat.

At the same time.

The Strange Light Sword in Yun Yun's hand burst forth with dazzling azure light!

With a flicker, she suddenly appeared directly before the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Her longsword, shimmering with strange light, slashed toward its horn!

Xiao Yi Xian scattered the poison powder she had carefully concocted directly at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's face!

Faced with the three women's wildly different attacks.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King went numb!

This really had nothing to do with me!

Helpless, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King could only defend with all its strength!

Bang!

Pfft!

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was still driven back. It crashed into the stone wall and spat out a mouthful of purple blood.

Even so, it still chose not to attack!

Just as Xun Er and the other two were about to beat a dog that had fallen into the water.

A streak of purple light shot out from the stone wall!

Within the purple light, a tall, upright figure emerged!

It was Ye Hao!

Xun Er hurried over and checked him from head to toe.

"Hao Gege, where did you go? Are you all right?"

"I'm fine. Sorry for making you worry."

Ye Hao said.

After receiving his reassurance, Xun Er threw her arms around him.

Yun Yun also stopped attacking, and the weight in her heart finally lifted.

Xiao Yi Xian leaned against the stone wall, gasping heavily. A faint smile appeared on her somewhat pale face.

Meanwhile, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King lay on the ground with a bitter smile.

Later, Ye Hao told them that within the seal on that stone wall, he had obtained some things left behind for him by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion Clan.

Among them were several extremely powerful fighting techniques!

There was even a Beast Soul Fusion fighting technique method from the Barbarian Tribe in the North of the Continent.

Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian awkwardly apologized to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King did not mind.

Instead, it said that it could understand.

If it had been in their place, it might have been even angrier!

As for Xun Er, she still had not forgiven it. She was merely choosing not to pursue the matter for now.

The benefits had been obtained as well.

Ye Hao prepared to leave with Xun Er and the others.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King hurriedly suggested:

"My lord, I see that you're only a Dou Ling, yet although the Jia Ma Empire isn't particularly prosperous these days, there are still quite a few blind fools around. You can't possibly personally take action every time, can you?

"Hehe, since I have nothing better to do, how about I serve as your bodyguard—and your mount?"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King looked at Ye Hao expectantly.

With that appearance, if it stuck out its tongue, it would look exactly like a watchdog waiting to be fed.

It had a premonition that only by following Ye Hao would it be able to break through to the seventh order, or even higher!

So what if it had to become a mount? Even if Ye Hao made it into a guard dog, it would not be a problem.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King caught sight of the three women from the corner of its eye and seemed to recall something.

It hurriedly added:

"Rest assured, my lord. Not only will I not disturb your romantic affairs, but when necessary, I can even stand guard for you. I guarantee no one will interrupt you."

Even though the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had lowered its voice, Xun Er, Yun Yun, and the others still heard it.

The three women blushed furiously and could only pretend not to hear or understand.

Ye Hao's mouth twitched at its words.

He really wanted to slap it!

Wasn't this magical beast a little too well-informed?!

Ye Hao pondered for a moment.

He temporarily agreed.

However, before leaving the Monster Mountain Range, there was no need for it to follow them.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was quite self-aware. It immediately drove its son out and gave up this Cave Mansion.

At the same time, it ordered its subordinates to spread the word: within a radius of ten li around the Cave Mansion, no magical beast was allowed to approach.

Any violators would be personally executed by it!

And it itself would become the guardian of this area!

After the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King left.

Xun Er stepped forward again and gently embraced Ye Hao.

Xiao Yi Xian sat to one side, tending to the pile of gathered firewood as she prepared to start a fire.

Yun Yun, meanwhile, got up to hunt some game and prepare the evening meal.

One evening several days later.

The setting sun slanted toward the horizon.

Night gradually swallowed the land.

With the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's orders in place, there was not a single magical beast within ten li.

Thus, the surroundings were exceptionally quiet.

Only the crackling of firewood burning in the Cave Mansion could be heard.

The orange firelight illuminated the faces of the four people.

Ye Hao sat with his eyes closed, cultivating.

Yun Yun used a poker to stir the firewood, keeping the fire from going out. At the same time, she watched the meat roasting nearby to keep it from burning.

Using the firelight, Xiao Yi Xian sat to the side and carefully studied the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, her eyes filled with a desire to grow stronger.

Xun Er rested her cheeks in her hands, her Beautiful Eyes gazing foolishly at Ye Hao. Her face brimmed with contentment and happiness.

At that moment, the bell on her wrist gave a faint tremor.

"Young Miss, this old servant has something important to tell you..."

Recognizing Ling Ying's voice, anger surged into Xun Er's Beautiful Eyes. She rose and walked outside the Cave Mansion.

"Ling Ying, where have you been all this time?? Why couldn't I find you! Do you know that because you abandoned your post without permission, Hao Gege nearly got hurt!!"

In all these years, this was the first time Xun Er had directly called Ling Ying by name.

It was clear just how angry she was.

Ling Ying hurriedly dropped to his knees. "Young Miss, please forgive me. This old servant deserves death a thousand times over. Not long ago, this old servant was summoned by one of the clan elders, which is why I disappeared for some time."

Xun Er's anger did not subside. "Why?"

"After the clan learned that you not only failed to complete your mission but also left the Xiao Family without authorization, some of the elders were greatly dissatisfied. They... they said... said..."

Ling Ying hesitated, unable to continue.

"What did they say?" Xun Er pressed, her jade-like hands clasped behind her back.

Her gaze remained fixed on the Cave Mansion.

She feared that if she had been gone too long, Yun Yun might take the opportunity to do something improper to Ye Hao.

Ling Ying said, "They said you should return at once. The clan is planning to arrange a marriage for you."

"I'm not going back! And what business is my marriage of theirs? If they have that much spare time, they'd be better off arranging things properly for their own descendants."

Her goal was to marry Ye Hao and become his wife.

Even if...

Even if she could not be the only one, she had to be the first!

What if she left?

What if that Ya Fei, Nalan Yanran, or this Yun Yun took the chance to move up?

Ling Ying also knew that those elders were merely unhappy because Xun Er had once rejected their grandsons.

They were still somewhat resentful over it!

Now that they had finally found something to use against Xun Er, they naturally wanted to make the most of it.

But...

They claimed it was for the future of the Ancient Clan. That way, even Gu Yuan could say nothing.

What a shrewd scheme!

"The elders said that if you do not return to the clan within three months, they will send someone to bring you back."

"Let them do as they please... Even if my father comes himself, I won't go back, unless..."

Xun Er looked toward Ye Hao in the distance.

"Unless Hao Gege comes back with me."

Ling Ying's face twitched.

"Miss, you know that with Mr. Ye's current strength, he cannot gain the clan's recognition. Of course, if Mr. Ye is given enough time, he will certainly astonish the clan."

He was not merely saying that to please Xun Er.

Compared with those so-called geniuses in the clan, whose extraordinary cultivation talent relied on the Ancient Clan's resources and bloodline, Ye Hao was the one with truly astonishing talent.

What seemed most unbelievable to him was that he had received word from the Miter Auction House in Wu Tan City that Ye Hao was also a fairly capable alchemist!

"Anyway... I won't leave Hao Gege. They can just die..."

As she spoke, Xun Er spotted Yun Yun approaching Ye Hao with a skewer of meat in hand. She immediately abandoned Ling Ying and ran over.

This left Ling Ying utterly helpless!

He let out a soft sigh.

"Miss is good in every way, except... except she's a little... Ah..."
