Yun Yun's Sense of Crisis

"Teacher, are you really not afraid I'll get killed?"

After leaving the core territory of the Snake-Person Tribe, Xiao Yan landed on the ground, recovering his Dou Qi while sighing helplessly to himself.

"You're still alive, aren't you? You've got a good way with women, and you've got guts too. You're quite the character!"

"That's what the Old Yao said jokingly."

"Isn't this all the confidence you gave me, teacher?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan touched his nose and said somewhat awkwardly.

If it weren't for the trump card of the Old Yao apothecary, he would never have been able to reach the heart of the Snake-Person Tribe's territory.

When he left, he grabbed a handful of the Sand Mandala.

That's enough for Hai Bodong to refine medicine.

"Hehehe, Little Yanzi, you're in trouble now."

The Old Yao suddenly burst into a strange laugh, his laughter filled with schadenfreude.

"Um?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback.

The next moment, a cyan figure appeared in the sky in the distance, almost as if by teleportation. Even Hua She'er and Yue Mei, who had been chasing Xiao Yan, did not have such speed!

Dou Emperor?

Sensing the astonishing aura of the newcomer, Xiao Yan's expression changed.

Was it aimed at me?

"Teacher, please stop, I really can't do this, can I?"

Xiao Yan shouted wildly in his heart.

The Old Yao remained silent, simply keeping quiet.

We can't count on them!

Seeing this, Xiao Yan could only gaze into the distance, his fists clenched tightly.

Judging from what Old Yao said, this Dou Emperor is unlikely to be an enemy.

Moreover, as he drew closer, he sensed that the aura was somewhat familiar...

Wait, really?

Xiao Yan suddenly remembered who the owner of that aura was, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and look over.

The next moment, he felt a blur before his eyes, and a beautiful face, dressed in a blue robe, with an elegant and serene demeanor, came into view.

"Teacher, what brings you here?"

Looking at Yun Yun's slightly anxious expression, Xiao Yan asked with some confusion.

"You've really made something of yourself, Xiao Yan! Coming all the way to the heart of the Snake-Person Tribe's territory by yourself, are you out of your mind?"

Yun Yun gritted her teeth, looked at her disciple who was causing her no peace of mind, and scolded her playfully.

Although he was scolding her, the concern in his eyes was evident.

She scanned Xiao Yan back and forth several times, and only after confirming that he was alright did her expression ease slightly. She patted her chest, causing a trembling wave to rise in her chest.

"Not long ago, I sensed that your life was in danger, and then I discovered that you had come to the heart of the Snake-Person Tribe's territory. It almost scared me to death!"

"I'm fine, it was just a bit of luck."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Opportunity? What opportunity could possibly put your life in danger?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's relaxed smile, Yun Yun was completely unconvinced.

Her intuition is never wrong.

Even though Xiao Yan seems to be in good condition now, the faint breath he had just emitted, almost on the verge of death, still sends shivers down one's spine.

She has only two disciples. One is quite safe in the Misty Cloud Sect, but the other absolutely refuses to go there. At such a young age, he runs off to risk his life in search of opportunities. If anything happens to him, she, as his teacher, will probably never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"Then you can't tell anyone, okay?"

Xiao Yan smiled upon hearing this, then flipped his palm, and a cobalt blue flame rose from it, instantly making the temperature of the world even hotter.

"This is... Heavenly Flames!?"

Upon seeing the terrifyingly hot flame in Xiao Yan's palm, Yun Yun's pupils contracted, her red lips parted slightly, and she looked somewhat incredulous.

Although she didn't know much about Heavenly Flames, she did know that such rare treasures were extremely rare. Gu He, who was a guest elder in the Misty Cloud Sect, had searched for decades but hadn't found any information about Heavenly Flames!

"Hmm, Heavenly Flames."

Xiao Yan wore a satisfied smile.

"You almost lost your life because of this?"

Seeing the smile on Xiao Yan's face, Yun Yun sighed and reached out to pat Xiao Yan's head with a touch of heartache.

"There's no way around it, I'm an alchemist, and Heavenly Flames have an extremely irresistible attraction for me. Besides, it's the only way I can quickly become stronger."

Xiao Yan smiled nonchalantly and said.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun opened her mouth, wanting to ask more, but in her senses, there seemed to be a powerful Snake-Person Tribe nearby. She decided to leave first and talk in detail later.

"Let's go, I'll take you away from here first, and we'll find a safe place to talk."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Yun Yun suddenly realized that carrying Xiao Yan in flight seemed...

Never mind, he's still a child, it's okay to hug him.

After comforting herself, Yun Yun pulled Xiao Yan into her arms, and Dou Qi Wings appeared on her back. Then, she took off and flew towards the edge of the desert.

"Ah?"

Suddenly being tightly embraced by the beautiful teacher, Xiao Yan was somewhat stunned. The warm, soft, and fragrant sensation was simply too much for him to handle.

"What? Hold on tighter, or you'll fall!"

Yun Yun's delicate body was still trembling slightly, but she forced herself to speak in a calm voice.

"Oh, okay."

Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't say anything more, claiming he could fly with the Purple Cloud Wings. At this moment, his Dou Qi hadn't fully recovered, and his flying speed couldn't possibly be faster than Dou Huang expert with wind attributes. So, he wrapped his arms around Yun Yun's waist.

Encircled by those burning hands, even with Yun Yun's temperament, her pretty face flushed. She pursed her lips, maintaining her master's serious demeanor, and flew towards the edge of the desert.

Because Xiao Yan has grown quite a bit taller in the past two years, and is now even taller than Yun Yun, when the two of them hugged tightly, even through the thick, soft flesh between them, they could still feel each other's heartbeats, their gradually rising body temperatures, and the somewhat strange atmosphere.

"Teacher, why did you suddenly come to see me?"

Xiao Yan broke the awkward atmosphere by asking a question, trying to divert their attention.

If he doesn't do this, it won't be long before he points a gun at the female teacher.

"You have the nerve to say that? I was going to the Xiao Family to find you, but when I got there I found out you ran off to train all by yourself, saying you were with an alchemist teacher. What kind of person would bring you to such a godforsaken place as the Snake-Person Tribe's territory?"

Yun Yun became somewhat angry when she brought up the matter.

"You really have an alchemist teacher? Or did you just make one up so you could go out and train alone?"

Immediately afterwards, Yun Yun asked another question.

"It's true, it's just that he can't show his face. His Alchemy are among the best in the entire continent. Even that Pill King Gu He would probably kowtow and beg for guidance on the spot if he met him."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Really? The Jia Ma Empire has an alchemist even more powerful than Gu He?"

Yun Yun looked on with suspicion.

Xiao Yan smiled at this, then took out his Third-Grade -grade alchemist badge from his Storage Ring, and waved it in front of Yun Yun.

"Teacher, look, I've only been here for a little over a year, and I'm already Third-Grade alchemist. Gu He shouldn't have that kind of ability, right?"

Yun Yun was taken aback when she saw the badge in Xiao Yan's hand.

Third-Grade alchemist in one year?

Even if she didn't understand Alchemy, she was still Dou Huang expert. How could she not understand the basic common sense about alchemists?

This situation can only mean that Xiao Yan also possesses an extremely terrifying talent in Alchemy.

But there is another problem.

She hadn't noticed because they were hugging and she was a little flustered, but now that she'd calmed down, she could easily smell a strange feminine fragrance on Xiao Yan.

From Xiao Yan's words just now, it's not hard to deduce that his alchemist teacher is likely also a woman, and that they have a very close relationship; otherwise, Xiao Yan wouldn't have been so influenced by her.

They've tried to poach our employees, but it's backfired!

As the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, he obviously couldn't always be by Xiao Yan's side. If this continued, their master-disciple relationship would likely become a mere formality.

Such a talented disciple, even if it's not for the sake of the Misty Cloud Sect, but just to prove myself, I must keep him.

It seems I need to put in more effort!
