The Prize Secured, Parting Ways, Air Raid

"Collect them for me, I need to go up and take a look. Remember to use the Jade Bottle."

"I'll help you? Aren't you afraid I'll secretly keep it for myself?"

Han Yue stared at him in disbelief, somewhat confused by Xiao Tian's actions. Was he testing her?

Xiao Tian smiled but didn't speak; Golden Feather Sky Wings appeared behind him.

"I trust your character Senior Han Yue."

Ignoring Han Yue's puzzled and incredulous expression, Xiao Tian flapped his wings and flew towards the top.

Han Yue looked enviously at the wings behind Xiao Tian; those were the mark of Dou Wang.

"I really don't know how this monster cultivated."

Han Yue sighed softly, feeling deeply moved by Xiao Tian's trust in her.

Xiao Tian went directly to the spot where the stalactites met the cave ceiling.

After careful observation, he remembered that he needed something made of jade to cut it. Two Jade Bottle appeared in his hand, and the Jade Bottle transformed into a Jade Saber in the red flames in his hand.

Xiao Tian held the Jade Saber, which was wreathed in Dou Qi Jade Saber, and drew small circles on the base of the stalactite.

As the stalactite fragment came together, it broke off. Xiao Tian reached out and grabbed it, and a burst of bright light shot out from it. Xiao Tian shielded his eyes with his hand.

Three breaths later, Xiao Tian opened his eyes and looked at the spot he had just cut open, where he saw a clump of emerald-like viscous liquid floating inside.

"Is this the real Earth Core Body Tempering Milk? It looks incredibly tempting."

Xiao Tian melted the Jade Saber into a spoon, then took out another Jade Bottle and gently poured the liquid into Jade Bottle. In just a few rounds, the Jade Bottle was already more than half full.

Only one-sixth of the original amount remained inside the stalactite. Xiao Tian stopped, put away the Jade Bottle in his hand, and gently put the cut pieces back.

Xiao Tian's body plummeted downwards, and within a few breaths, he was on the ground.

"Aren't you done installing it yet?"

Han Yue was startled by the sudden sound, and the jade spoon in her hand trembled. Because she had been careful when filling it, her face was quite close to the spoon.

The milky-white Earth Core Body Tempering Milk flew straight towards her face with this shake, instantly covering her face with a considerable amount of liquid.

Milky white Earth Core Body Tempering Milk flowed down her face, and she even stuck out her tongue to lick the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk that had flowed to the corner of her mouth.

When Xiao Tian saw Han Yue like this, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her before.

He suppressed his thoughts, took out a handkerchief, and handed it to Han Yue.

In the past, being a germaphobe, she would have immediately refused anything offered to her by others.

But this time, she took it as if possessed, and without even thinking, she gently wiped her face.

Thank you, I'll wash it clean for you and return it to you.

After wiping it clean, she folded the handkerchief and then said earnestly to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian nodded dismissively. "Keep pretending."

Although Han Yue was curious about what Xiao Tian was doing, she didn't say anything since it was his private matter, and continued to pack the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk in front of her.

Xiao Tian looked at Han Yue, who was bending over carefully in front of him. Her silver dress clung tightly to her body as she moved, clearly outlining her slender waist and rounded hips.

After glancing at it a few times, Xiao Tian looked away.

Han Yue, who was carrying the items, blushed slightly for some reason, as if she had noticed something, but she didn't feel any disgust. The corners of her mouth even twitched involuntarily.

Han Yue deftly filled all the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, capped the bottles, and picked up the other Jade Bottle placed to the side.

"There are about four bottles here in total. I didn't keep any for myself; they're all here."

As she spoke, she handed the Jade Bottle to Xiao Tian and said in a charming voice.

Xiao Tian took the bottles and put them directly into his System Space. Then he took Han Yue's hand and placed the remaining Jade Bottle in her hand.

"Consider this your reward for this operation."

After speaking, Xiao Tian turned around and headed back the way he came.

I've already obtained the real Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, so this diluted version is dispensable to me. I'll just take out a bottle to enhance my appearance; who knows, it might bring huge rewards in the future.

Han Yue was slightly taken aback, looking down at the Jade Bottle in her hand. She hadn't expected Xiao Tian to do this.

She looked up at Xiao Tian's back, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions—strangeness, gratitude, and confusion.

She gripped the jade Jade Bottle tightly, her heart filled with emotion. "I never expected someone as domineering and cunning as you to do this. Just what kind of person are you?"

Han Yue quickly caught up with Xiao Tian Xiao Tian, and without even realizing it, a subtle change had occurred in her gaze as she looked at him.

"Thank you, Xiao Tian, I owe you a favor."

Han Yue spoke firmly from behind Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian waved his hand dismissively, and the two continued walking one after the other. Throughout this time, Han Yue held the Jade Bottle tightly, choosing not to put it back into her Storage Ring.

Twenty minutes later, the two emerged from the cave and took a deep breath of fresh air.

"The air outside is so much fresher; it's so stuffy inside, it's so much more comfortable."

Han Yue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xiao Tian's unladylike posture of spreading his arms wide and sucking in air.

"Junior Xiao Tian, what are your plans for the future?"

I'm planning to wander around here a bit more, what about you?

After answering Han Yue's question, Xiao Tian asked a question in return.

"I plan to go back and refine what you gave me. Thank you so much. Although my strength is not as high as yours, if you ever need anything from me in the future, just tell me, and I will definitely help you."

Han Yue looked at Xiao Tian with a sincere expression, and Xiao Tian nodded. "Then I'll definitely come to you if I need anything in the future."

"Then I'll be leaving now. Junior Xiao Tian, please be careful."

"Senior Han Yue, wait a minute."

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Han Yue stood there in confusion. Xiao Tian reached out and touched her brow. Han Yue panicked, not understanding what Xiao Tian was going to do.

Before she could even ask a question, she felt a multitude of medicinal herbs appear in her mind.

"When you use it with these medicinal herbs, you can better maximize the effects of the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk."

Han Yue already knew that Xiao Tian was Alchemist, so she had no doubts about Xiao Tian Prescription. He didn't need to go through such a complicated process to harm her.

"Thank you, Junior Xiao Tian, you're truly a benefactor to me."

Han Yue grabbed Xiao Tian and, before he could react, leaped towards the Inner Academy without looking back.

Xiao Tian's hand was still frozen in mid-air, not expecting Han Yue to make this move.

As Han Yue gradually walked away, she gently turned her head and looked at Xiao Tian, who was still standing there in a daze. Her pretty face flushed slightly. She realized she had inexplicably made that gesture and thought to herself, "How embarrassing!"

He then hurriedly used his movement technique to leave quickly, fearing that his unusual behavior would be discovered.

Xiao Tian watched Han Yue's departing figure and revealed a meaningful smile.

Golden Wings appeared behind them, and they instantly took off, flying deeper into the forest.

That night, Xiao Tian did not choose to return to the Inner Academy, having already informed Xun'er beforehand.

Xiao Tian chose to enter the Free and Unfettered World; as for sleeping outdoors, only a madman would do that.

Upon entering the Free and Unfettered World, Xiao Tian immediately opted for an air raid.
