My Wife, Your Husband Will Come Find You!

Beside the Companion Purple Crystal Source, Xiao Le took out jade bottles and set them on the ground. He then took out the spiky Purple Spirit Crystal and smashed it viciously against the part containing the Companion Purple Crystal Source above the jade bottles.

Before the Companion Purple Crystal Source could flow out, two more jade bottles appeared in his hands, swiftly catching the splashing Purple Crystal Source.

Xiao Le vaguely remembered that Xiao Yan had suffered a loss here in the original story.

By the time the Companion Purple Crystal Source had completely drained, Xiao Le had only managed to fill six jade bottles. He was quite dissatisfied with that.

However, his keen soul power sensed a powerful presence approaching. He hurriedly put away the jade bottles and activated Yun Yun's aura hidden within his body.

At once, Dou Qi surged through his body like a torrent of floodwater. His body became unexpectedly light, and a sensation of floating like an immortal filled his heart, making Xiao Le feel as though it were all unreal.

He had no time to savor this Dou Qi. The Dou Qi within him circulated at full force, dazzling lightning filling the entire cave as the phantom form of a cheetah slowly attached itself to Xiao Le's body.

"Swift Lightning Thunder Shadow Thrust!"

Xiao Le transformed into an afterimage and rushed toward the cave entrance at top speed. At the spot where he had just stood, a Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King lunged forward with its jaws wide open, only to find the purple orb empty.

The Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King opened its mouth and let out an immature lion's roar before chasing after Xiao Le.

The light drew closer and closer. Finally, with a final burst of speed, Xiao Le escaped from the cave.

Yet what greeted him was a pincer attack from two or three third-tier magical beasts. Fortunately, at the most dangerous moment, lightning wings spread from Xiao Le's back, allowing him to avoid the vital strikes.

The violent force sent Xiao Le flying, and he crashed into something soft and fragrant. Raising his head, he discovered that he had landed in Yun Yun's embrace.

"Got the Purple Spirit Crystal! Run!" With that, Xiao Le tightly wrapped his arms around her delicate body and buried his face in her fragrant embrace.

Feeling Xiao Le misbehaving in her arms, Yun Yun shot him a bashful glare. She no longer held back her Dou Qi, and her speed abruptly rose by more than a whole level.

The air screamed past his ears, and the scenery flashed by so quickly that Xiao Le could not make out a single clear image.

The beastly roars gradually faded away. At last, they had shaken off their pursuers.

After returning to the valley, Xiao Le slumped to the ground without a shred of dignity.

"Damn!" Thinking of that thrilling escape, Xiao Le could not help cursing. "That Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in the cave is too damn hateful. I'll roast it sooner or later!"

The spiky Purple Spirit Crystal, shimmering with purple light, appeared in Xiao Le's hand. He handed it to Yun Yun.

After Yun Yun put away the Purple Spirit Crystal, the scene fell silent for a while. In the end, Little Fairy Doctor broke the silence.

"Take care, Sister Yun Zhi."

Light flickered in Yun Yun's eyes, and the reluctance there vanished in an instant. Only after a long pause did she say, "Take care, Little Fairy Doctor. And husband, thank you for treating and helping me this time. I will definitely repay you generously next time!"

"Why thank us? That's not practical at all. Give me something practical!" As he spoke, Xiao Le pointed at his lips in suggestion.

Xiao Le wanted to see whether he had already left his mark on Yun Yun's heart.

A warm, soft touch landed on his cheek. Before Xiao Le could react, Yun Yun had already turned into a green streak and shot into the sky.

"My wife, your husband will come find you! Next time we meet, I'll tell you my real name!" Xiao Le's face was full of smiles as he shouted at the green figure in the sky...

He did not know whether Yun Yun had heard him.

Far off in the sky, Yun Yun nearly stumbled and fell. Her face flushed crimson. As the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun had called a young man her husband for two whole months.

"Kid, you certainly attract plenty of romantic trouble. The mortal world leads people astray."

The Beast Venerable's voice rang out in Xiao Le's mind.

Xiao Le replied indifferently, "This is all motivation. Without strength, how could I protect them? I just want to give them a home!"

The Beast Venerable's expression immediately darkened. He said irritably, "Don't say this old man didn't warn you. I searched the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's soul and discovered traces of the Tempering Heart Mist Grass. However, that place is dangerous enough that even I find it troublesome."

At last, there was news of the final main medicinal ingredient. How could Xiao Le not be delighted? What did any danger matter?

Sensing Xiao Le's impatience, the Beast Venerable shook his head and said, "You're getting ahead of yourself, kid! In the southeastern corner of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, there is a mountain peak shrouded in mist all year round. Within it lies a hidden valley where the Tempering Heart Mist Grass grows. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King once stumbled into it by accident and discovered it. Even it nearly failed to make it out."

It was as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. Even a Dou Emperor had nearly perished there, showing just how dangerous it was. But Xiao Le was unwilling to give up after searching for three or four whole months.

"I'm doing it!"

Little Fairy Doctor watched Xiao Le stare blankly in the direction Yun Yun had disappeared. She softly comforted him, "It's not as if you'll never see her again. Besides, you... still have me."

"Hm?" Xiao Le came back to his senses. Looking at Little Fairy Doctor's bashful appearance, he reached out and brushed across her willow-slender waist, pulling her into his arms with a smile. "What are you thinking? I was just considering something. I may need to leave on a long journey for the next couple of days. To keep you from encountering danger, I'll hide you in a cave. Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"

"Mm!"

Little Fairy Doctor was extremely understanding by nature and never made things difficult for Xiao Le. Xiao Le liked her gentle temperament very much.

Xiao Le found a hidden cave in the valley, then found a huge boulder. He settled Little Fairy Doctor inside the cave and used the boulder to block the entrance while the Beast Venerable arranged several layers of precautions.

Xiao Le prepared nearly two months' worth of food and water for Little Fairy Doctor. To prevent any mishaps, he had specifically arranged for the boulder to be easily pushed aside from within the cave.

After properly settling Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Le headed for the mountain where the Tempering Heart Mist Grass had appeared.

Along the way, he traveled in fits and starts, encountering magical beasts and mercenary groups. Once, Xiao Le even ran into people sent by the Tiger Fist Mercenary Group to search for him. He either fought or fled.

Finally, after five grueling days, he arrived at the mountain peak covered in mist.

Looking at the mountain peak shrouded in thick fog, only the treetops faintly piercing through the mist were visible. Everything else was blanketed in white fog.

After confirming his direction, Xiao Le proceeded carefully to avoid getting lost. With trees and fog all around him, he had to leave a mark every time he passed a large tree to ensure he was still heading in the right direction.

A valley appeared below him. The mist there was clearly layered. If the fog in the forest still allowed him to see three meters ahead and let his soul power extend outward, then the fog within the valley was practically tangible. He could not see his hand in front of his face, and even his soul power was restricted to within half a meter of his body.

Even setting everything else aside, Xiao Le could lose his sense of direction. He might never be able to walk out of this valley.

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Le still took a step forward.
