A Plot Against the Amethyst Winged Lion King

"Did that little girl cause trouble again?"

Wu Yan chimed in. The only one who could have kept Yun Yun awake for so long, aside from his lively little sister, was probably not Ya Fei through conversation alone.

Hearing Wu Yan say that, Yun Yun immediately cast aside the slight unease she had just noticed.

"It wasn't really trouble. Xiao Yue just likes me a little and wants to be close to me."

"If she doesn't listen, just spank her. There's plenty of padding there; you won't hurt her. That girl is forgetful and only remembers what she eats, not the beatings she gets. You'll have to repeat important things to her a few times."

Wu Yan understood his little sister very well.

A little brat.

A textbook little brat, always making a fuss. Still, the girl had her good points—she did not hold grudges.

No matter how someone close to her hit her, or how hard they hit, even if she could only sleep facedown that night, she would not distance herself from them the next day because of it.

She was carefree and boisterous, almost like a boy.

Even Wu Yan's parents, along with many others, felt that the siblings had been born into the wrong genders.

However, considering that if Wu Yan had possessed such a carefree personality, there might never have been a "New Ice Emperor," no one dwelled on the matter too much.

After chatting for a while, the three decided to continue their conversation at a teahouse in the city. There were many varieties of tea and pastries there, and they could chat while sampling them.

The day passed pleasantly. It was not until Yun Yun returned to the residence that she recalled what had felt slightly off about Ya Fei that morning.

After staying with the Mittel Clan for another two days, Yun Yun returned to the Misty Cloud Sect with Wu Yue, who had nearly gone wild from playing at home.

She learned the answer to that question the next morning.

When they met again the following day, Ya Fei's wine-red hair had been arranged in the style of a married woman. It signified that she had gone from an inexperienced young maiden to a married woman who had known intimacy.

After seeing Yun Yun off, Wu Yan did not lose himself in Ya Fei's tender embrace.

He knew very well what would happen in the future, so he naturally did not dare slack off.

In fact, because he now had one more person to take responsibility for, Wu Yan became even more motivated to cultivate.

Moreover, with Ya Fei, that stunning woman who was weak yet loved to play, helping him relieve his worries, Wu Yan's cultivation progress sped up considerably.

More than a month passed, and Wu Yan's understanding of cultivation methods and Dou Techniques rose to another level.

Originally, Wu Yan had thought it might take him two or three months to make a breakthrough. He had not expected that this balance of work and rest would allow him to improve so quickly.

Thus, on this day, Wu Yan left Mittel City and headed for the Magical Beast Mountains.

There were still several months before Jia Nan Academy's graduation season. At the traveling speed of a Dou Zong expert, he could arrive in just a day or two, so he had plenty of time.

Therefore, Wu Yan adjusted the order of his plans and entered the Magical Beast Mountains, heading straight for the Amethyst Winged Lion King's territory.

Within the Jia Ma Empire, the major factions all kept rough records of the territories occupied by every Tier 6 Magical Beast.

Though magical beast forces sounded formidable, this was the Dou Qi Continent. Before humanity, magical beast forces truly were not much to look at.

Perhaps Tier 6 Magical Beasts were troublesome and not to be provoked in the Jia Ma Empire.

Yet those Tier 6 Magical Beasts also did not dare leave their territories to slaughter humans on a large scale.

There was no other reason: if they became too unruly, human experts would naturally step in.

The Dou Di clans among humans might fight each other to the death, but if those magical beasts truly dared to take advantage of the chaos, humanity would show them what true cruelty was!

If that old dragon had not been trapped, perhaps the magical beasts could have stirred up some trouble by uniting.

But unfortunately, given the Beast Realm's current situation, the Soul Clan and perhaps even the Gu Clan would not need to intervene. Apart from the Spirit and Stone Clans, whose bloodlines had declined the most severely, any of the other clans could teach them how to be proper magical beasts.

The Yao Clan might even be crueler to magical beasts because of its abundance of Alchemists.

It had to be said that the Dou Qi Continent was rather decent in this regard. Humanity harbored no irreconcilable racial hatred; there were only grudges and conflicts within its own ranks.

Wu Yan shook his head and gathered his wandering thoughts.

He landed soundlessly atop an ancient towering tree and looked toward the massive purple crystal beast lying on the mountaintop. Sunlight fell upon its body, and faintly, purple flames could be seen burning over it, distorting the air around it.

The single horn on its head seemed to possess the power to pierce through everything.

Narrowing his eyes, Wu Yan considered how to make the most of this Amethyst Winged Lion King.

He clenched his fist. Soon, a glimmer flashed through Wu Yan's calm eyes as he came up with a good idea.

In the next instant, ice-blue Dou Qi wings unfurled from Wu Yan's back.

"Now that I'm a Dou Emperor, it should use that Amethyst Seal on me..."

Basking in the sunlight as it cultivated and enjoyed the peaceful passage of time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King thought that once its child reached the fourth tier, it could directly consume that portion of Amethyst Source and advance straight to the fifth tier.

Furthermore, it would possess flames even more powerful than those of its parent.

As the sun set, the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt reluctant to see it go, even though the sun would rise again tomorrow.

Under sunlight, both its cultivation speed and combat strength could increase substantially. If it were daytime all day long, its combat power would be even greater.

But unfortunately, reversing day and night was something a mere Tier 6 Magical Beast could never accomplish.

If the Amethyst Winged Lion King possessed the memories of a transmigrator, it might have let out a long cry at that moment: the sunlight was infinitely beautiful, yet it was so close to dusk.

Then, for some reason, the Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly felt a shiver of mortal danger, forcing it to open its eyes and scan its surroundings.

Everything around it was quiet. There were no low-tier magical beasts lacking intelligence in this mountain range, and there seemed to be no sign of danger.

As the emperor who stood above countless magical beasts in this mountain range, the Amethyst Winged Lion King trusted its perception of danger completely.

It believed this was absolutely not an illusion!

Sure enough, before long, a chilling aura rose from the north, aimed directly at the magical beast emperor standing atop the peak and surveying the surroundings—the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

A figure with ice-blue wings spread wide, holding an icy spear and clad from head to toe in frost armor, attacked without a word the instant he saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The frost-covered spear was incomparably sharp. Though it had been condensed from Dou Qi, the Amethyst Winged Lion King did not doubt its power in the slightest.

If it got stabbed by that thing, it would definitely not feel good!

Watching the icy spear draw ever closer, the Amethyst Winged Lion King roared and sneered.

"Do not think that just because you are a Dou Emperor, I will fear you!"
