Going Straight for It! Sect Master Yun, Let's Form a Marriage Alliance! (Please Keep Reading)

"Agreed!"

"This king agrees!"

"Isn't it just that Big Brother's woman wants to stay in this king's cave for one night? No problem at all!"

"Big Brother! My cave is your cave."

"Stay however you like!"

"Stay as long as you like!"

After hearing that Xiao Ze wanted to use its cave, the Amethyst Winged Lion King agreed immediately without a second thought. If not for its obsequious smile, anyone would have thought it and Xiao Ze were close friends.

"Oh? You're really willing to give up your cave?"

"Mhm, mhm!"

"I didn't force you?"

"Mhm, mhm!"

"This is all of your own free will?"

"...Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm!"

"Good! Sign here, leave your handprint, then you can get lost!"

"Awooo~"

Inside the cave.

Under Xiao Ze's kindly coercive smile, the Amethyst Winged Lion King shed tears of joy as it handed over the right to stay in its cave.

This scene.

Left Yun Yun, who was recovering from her injuries nearby, utterly dumbfounded.

"Big Brother, then I won't disturb you and sister-in-law while you strengthen your relationship. Goodbye..." After signing the contract, the Amethyst Winged Lion King left the cave with its bare bottom on display.

As it passed Yun Yun, it hurriedly smiled apologetically. "Sister-in-law, you should've said earlier that you were Big Brother's woman. Then this king wouldn't have hit you so hard."

"Um...we're all family, so you can't hold a grudge."

"There's plenty of Purple Spirit Crystal stored in this cave. Take as much as you want."

"Goodbye, sister-in-law!"

After saying this, it left the cave without looking back.

As soon as it stepped outside, it gazed up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. In the glow of the setting sun, a crystal-clear tear welled in its eye.

It was strong!

It wasn't crying!

It had only gotten sand in its eye!

"..." Watching its retreating figure, Yun Yun inexplicably felt a desolate sadness rise in her heart.

"Good, now that the eyesore's gone, we can rest here tonight without worry!"

After finishing all that, Xiao Ze came to her side.

He raised a hand, and a campfire sprang to life.

The blazing flames chased away the darkness in the cave, and the chill in Yun Yun's heart as well.

"Xiao Ze..." she called softly.

"Hmm?"

"Could you turn around?"

"Why?"

"I'm changing clothes!"

"..."

In the dim cave, two figures swayed faintly in the firelight.

After the day's battle, Yun Yun's original plain blue dress had become tattered. Large patches of her glistening, snow-white skin were exposed, and the torn strips of fabric could do nothing to hide her graceful figure.

Xiao Ze turned around and listened to the rustling sounds behind him.

Before long, certain 3D images began appearing in his mind.

"Done!" A faintly trembling voice came after a short while.

Xiao Ze turned around and saw that she had changed into a clean dress.

She was now sitting cross-legged on the dry grass covering the ground, her knees bent. The skin, as smooth as jade, seemed even brighter in the firelight.

"Sect Master Yun?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you have a partner?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I'm just curious."

"...No."

"What a coincidence. Neither do I!"

"..."

"Sect Master Yun, do you think I meet your standards for a partner?"

"...Senior, you're joking."

"Why not think it over?"

"..."

"Sect Master Yun?"

"Xiao...don't you think that's too blunt?"

"Is it? Once you reach my age, you'll realize that things like having thick skin don't matter. I think Sect Master Yun is gifted and lovely, and quite fits my standards for a partner...why not consider it?"

"..."

"Sect Master Yun?"

"...Your Excellency, I'm going into seclusion to heal."

"..."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

After three days of recuperation, Yun Yun had finally recovered from most of her injuries.

Inside the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave.

The two had one last conversation before parting.

"You're leaving?"

"Mm—"

"You're really leaving?"

"...Mm."

"Over these three days, we've supported each other, shared hardship, weathered the same storm, grown close...ahem, anyway, you're just leaving without saying a word? Don't you have anything to say?"

"...No!" Yun Yun ground her teeth.

"You really won't consider forming a marriage alliance? I'm talented, you're beautiful—we're a match made in heaven!"

"Don't even think about it!" Her fair cheeks instantly flushed red, the color spreading to the tips of her ears. Shame, anger, and all kinds of complicated emotions filled her heart.

"Don't be so hasty. Careful, you'll end up eating your words. Why not think it over?"

"Farewell!"

Yun Yun didn't want to listen to Xiao Ze any longer. Embarrassed and furious, she stood and headed for the cave entrance.

She was worried that if she listened any longer, her Dao heart might be thrown into disarray.

For the past three days, Xiao Ze had been muttering in her ear every day.

It had left her utterly vexed.

Sometimes she couldn't help wondering: he was over a hundred years old—couldn't he be as composed as she was?

Whenever she thought of the things Xiao Ze had said over the past three days, her blood surged and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She had never felt this way in all her years of cultivation.

"Sister-in-law, you're leaving already? Won't you stay a little longer?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King came scampering over at some point.

"Big Brother, are you leaving?"

"What, are you happy about it?" Xiao Ze's sharp gaze fell on it. The Amethyst Winged Lion King's crotch went cold, and its legs trembled.

"No!" It shook its head frantically.

As if! Even if it was happy, it couldn't be happy right now.

That murderous star was still here. It didn't want to laugh itself into a disaster.

"Xiao Ze!" Yun Yun walked out of the cave in a huff. She was about to summon her Dou Qi wings and leave, but after thinking it over, she decided to say goodbye to Xiao Ze.

No matter what, he had saved her.

She had to repay that debt of gratitude.

Of course...forming a marriage alliance was out of the question.

Ever since she began cultivating, Yun Yun had resolved to keep Dou Qi as her companion. She would never marry!

"Hmm?" Xiao Ze looked at her in confusion.

"I..." Yun Yun's face reddened as she was about to say thank you.

Suddenly!

A strange change occurred!

Boom!

A terrifying peal of thunder suddenly erupted from the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Countless bolts of lightning gathered above the sea of clouds. From afar, dark clouds could be seen converging from every direction over the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Then, an incredibly pure surge of energy rippled out from deep within the range.

The next moment, a dazzling pillar of light burst into the sky. Its boundless aura swept in every direction. The magnificent, earth-shaking spectacle stunned Xiao Ze and Yun Yun.

"What's going on?"

"It looks like it came from deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"

"But why would the Magical Beast Mountain Range...produce such a terrifying phenomenon?" Yun Yun's rosy lips parted as confusion filled her stunning face.

She summoned her Dou Qi wings and rose into the air, gazing toward the place where the phenomenon had erupted.

There, she seemed to see an ancient ruin, grand and illusory, nestled among the age-old, primeval mountains. The mottled pillar of light seemed a thousand zhang tall, thrusting straight into the heavens and churning the entire sea of lightning into violent turbulence.

Rumble!

Countless ferocious thunder dragons rained down from the sea of clouds.

Though they were more than a thousand miles away, they could still feel the boundless, terrifying might of the heavens.

"Hm?"

"Why does that place look so familiar?"

"It seems like..."
