Yun Yun's Daring Move

Seeing Yun Yun reach her claws toward his clothes, Xiao Lei hurriedly spoke up.

If he let her get her way, how could he continue to sit here and keep watching her to finish copying her cultivation?

"Quick, Qing Lin, hold her hands down! Don't let her move around anymore."

Qing Lin remained as obedient as ever; hearing this, she went straight to Yun Yun's side, grabbed both of her hands, and stopped her from making any more inappropriate moves.

"Phew!"

Xiao Lei felt a surge of relief—that was too close! He had almost seen something not suitable for children!

"Xiao Yi Xian, bring a rope over and tie her hands up!"

Xiao Lei felt helpless; he couldn't let Qing Lin hold her like this forever. There were still dozens of minutes left until the copying finished, and who knew what kind of wild things she might do next!

Although Xiao Yi Xian was a bit confused by the request, she didn't think too much of it. After all, she was still quite innocent and couldn't associate it with anything untoward.

In her eyes, this was quite reasonable; after all, the woman had just been acting so strangely and trying to take off her own clothes, all while Xiao Lei was right there!

Under Xiao Lei's direction, Xiao Yi Xian successfully tied Yun Yun up, though the knotting technique was rather peculiar.

"Xiao Lei, where did you learn to tie knots like this?"

Xiao Lei stammered without answering, simply coming up with a random excuse to brush her off.

Time passed quickly. With the help of the rope, Yun Yun's movements were much more restrained, and Xiao Lei's medicinal pill was quite potent; even with Yun Yun thrashing about, she showed no signs of waking up.

The stimulating sounds continued to drift into his ears, and with her hands bound, Yun Yun simply rolled around on the ground, leaving Xiao Lei with no choice but to watch.

What a sin, truly a sin!

The time remaining on the system was running low, and just when Xiao Lei thought everything would end smoothly—

"Mmm-ah!"

Yun Yun let out another high-pitched cry and then actually opened her eyes!

"Crap!"

Xiao Lei was stunned. The pill he refined was supposed to force someone into a deep sleep; how did Yun Yun wake up?

"Wait, even though her Dou Qi is sealed and unusable, she is still a Dou Emperor. The Dou Qi is still there—the medicine wasn't strong enough!"

The highest-grade pill Xiao Lei could refine was only Tier 4, but Yun Yun was a Dou Emperor!

Eyes met, and Xiao Lei stared straight at Yun Yun.

[Target: The renowned Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect of the Jia Ma Empire.]
[Constitution: None.]
[Please select a copy option.]

The emotionless system voice rang out in Xiao Lei's mind, just as cold as what the woman was currently going through.

Xiao Lei had expected Yun Yun to immediately scream "lecher" and draw her sword—well, given her current state, she probably couldn't draw it anyway!

However, "You!"

The first thing Yun Yun did upon seeing Xiao Lei was panic. She quickly lowered her head, her already flushed face turning even redder, like a ripe apple ready to drip with juice.

This left Xiao Lei completely dumbfounded.

A moment later, Yun Yun finally reacted and noticed the rope on her body, realizing that her current situation seemed rather dire.

"Who... who are you people? What have you done to me?"

Yun Yun said in shame and anger. She struggled a few times, only to find that her own Dou Qi seemed to have vanished; she couldn't feel it at all.

Moreover, as she struggled, the ropes against her body seemed to tighten even further.

Why did she feel so inexplicably ashamed!

"Qing Lin, this young lady is awake. Quickly help her untie the ropes!"

Xiao Lei had to be the quick-witted one, hurriedly calling out to Qing Lin. As for doing it himself, forget it; if he got close, Yun Yun probably wouldn't mind giving him a headbutt.

"This, uh, young lady, you seemed to be having a nightmare earlier and were moving around quite a bit. We were afraid you would rip your wounds open, so we took the liberty of tying you up."

Xiao Lei could spout any excuse at the drop of a hat!

A nightmare!

Hearing this, Yun Yun recalled the scene, and everything from her dream was still vivid in her mind. At the mere thought of it, Yun Yun's head drooped even lower; she didn't dare look Xiao Lei in the eye at all.

"How could I have had a dream like that!"

Yun Yun felt extreme shame and resentment, but at this moment, there was something more important she needed to resolve.

Qing Lin acted quickly, using a dagger to cut the ropes off Yun Yun. She didn't really understand the knotting technique either, so untying it would have taken quite some time.

Shaking off the ropes, Yun Yun felt a sense of relief, yet bad things never came in ones.

Feeling the dampness in a certain area, Yun Yun gathered her strength and spoke up.

"Could you please prepare some water for me first? I... I want to bathe."

Seeing that the woman wasn't causing a scene, Xiao Lei let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had run into someone as bashful and naive as Yun Yun; if it had been anyone else, he wouldn't have been able to explain that scene even if he were beaten to death.

Now it was settled: since Yun Yun didn't bring it up, it was as if the incident had never happened.

"Xiao Lei, you go out first. Leave this to the two of us!"

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian also regained her senses and hurriedly pushed Xiao Lei toward the cave entrance.

"Go out and stand guard first, you can come back in a while!"

Before Xiao Lei could say anything, he was shoved out of the cave.

"This is abuse of the wounded!"

Xiao Lei said indignantly, though he honestly remained at the entrance. It was indeed not appropriate for him to go in right now, and more importantly, the copying had been a success—he should prioritize claiming that Dou Emperor cultivation!

Having personally experienced how powerful a Dou Emperor was, Xiao Lei had been looking forward to this copy for a long time!

One had to know that as a nine-star Dou Ling, he had exhausted all his strength just to barely block a single attack from the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"System, give me the cultivation!"

As the words fell, vast Dou Qi emerged from within his body out of thin air, surging through all his meridians like ocean waves crashing against a reef.

The next moment, Xiao Lei plopped onto the ground as a massive amount of insight flooded his mind.

One had to realize that Xiao Lei was skipping the entire Dou King realm, a stage known as the first watershed for experts; the ability to manifest wings from Dou Qi was not merely a result of increased Dou Qi, but the result of a cultivator's natural enlightenment.

To ensure Xiao Lei truly possessed Dou Emperor cultivation, the system naturally granted him these insights directly, guaranteeing that Xiao Lei wouldn't become a useless shell with only raw power.

Inside the cave, Qing Lin and the others were equally busy. Since Yun Yun's Dou Qi had vanished, she couldn't use her Storage Ring. She tried on Qing Lin's clothes to change into, but found them a bit too big, eventually having to borrow a couple of items from Xiao Yi Xian.

After a long while, Xiao Lei, who had been collapsed on the ground, slowly propped himself up and stood to his feet.

He raised a hand to retrieve a few medicinal pills from his Storage Ring and swallowed them, allowing the overwhelming sensations in his brain to slightly subside.

This wasn't Xiao Lei's first time copying, so he had naturally made the necessary preparations.

Feeling a bit more refreshed, Xiao Lei hurriedly turned his focus inward. He saw that the Dou Qi vortex he had condensed as a Dou Practitioner had vanished; or rather, his entire body had become the new Dou Qi vortex.

It was precisely because the Dou Qi vortex was no longer confined to the Dantian that the Dou Qi could manifest as wings on his back.

"Pfft!"

With a sound of wind being displaced, a pair of pale yellow wings tinged with faint streaks of emerald green and purple emerged—this was Xiao Lei's Dou Qi wings.

The emerald green came from his Poison Vine Fire, while the purple originated from his Purple Fire.

Inside the cave, Yun Yun was startled. Her spiritual power had not been sealed, and she instantly sensed the Dou Emperor aura radiating from Xiao Lei.

Dou Emperor? He is a Dou Emperor? But back then, I clearly felt that his strength wasn't that high!

Yun Yun had seen Xiao Lei before falling unconscious and had sensed his aura.

Could it be that my injuries were too severe back then, and I sensed it wrong?

Yun Yun didn't consider other possibilities, as they were all too outrageous.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lei felt the brand-new realm and power, feeling nothing but exhilaration in his heart. Upon reflection, he realized Yun Yun seemed to have many other valuable traits worth copying.

Yun Yun, who was currently bathing, suddenly felt as if she were being watched by someone again, and her movements unconsciously quickened significantly.
