A Minor Situation

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

Yun Yun originally estimated that it would take nearly two months to reach the Gemer Volcano, but now it seems that it will not be necessary.

It has been exactly one month since they left Misty Cloud Sect.

The two had already arrived in the Thousand Mountains Empire, just a day's journey from Gemer Volcano.

"... I really don't know what kind of cultivation technique you practice? It's too powerful!"

When the two landed outside the Imperial Capital of the Thousand Mountains Empire, Yun Yun muttered something that sounded rather resigned to her fate.

The reason why the two of them were able to arrive in the Thousand Mountains Empire so quickly is due to Qin Yu.

Yun Yun didn't know what kind of cultivation technique Qin Yu practiced, only that Qin Yu's Dou Qi seemed inexhaustible.

While flying at low altitude, Qin Yu was able to fly continuously for more than seven days! And he maintained a constant speed without any signs of slowing down!

I had assumed that this trip would be her, as the older sister, taking care of her younger brother.

In the end, it was Qin Yu who had to wait for her to rest.

"Sister Yun, this is the third time you've said that this month."

"Ha, that's just me. If someone else saw you like this, wouldn't they be nagging you every day?"

Yun Yun rolled her eyes. Given Qin Yu's condition, let alone her, even her master would be shocked by Qin Yu.

"Hmm... Let's go, let's find a place to rest in their Imperial Capital. I'm exhausted these past few days."

Yun Yun stretched and let out a long breath, then skillfully took Qin Yu's arm and leaned against him.

During the time Yun Yun spent with Qin Yu, her mental state changed somewhat.

Not only is she more open than before, but more importantly, with Qin Yu, whatever she does will no longer be questioned or subject to scheming, unlike before.

"You're Dou Emperor, and you can't even fly for three days straight?"

Qin Yu walked towards Thousand Mountains City, the Imperial Capital of the Thousand Mountains Empire, as if he were wearing a pendant.

Yun Yun didn't respond to Qin Yu's words, but silently pinched the soft flesh of his waist.

However, ever since he obtained the Golden Kidney Warrior " title, Qin Yu has become completely immune to this tactic used by women.

I felt nothing; at most, it felt like I'd been bitten by a mosquito.

After entering Thousand Mountains City and finding a place to stay, Yun Yun immediately collapsed onto the bed.

"By the way, we're arriving at Gemer Volcano tomorrow. Now you can tell me, what methods do you have to deal with that leader?"

"Watch out, it's showing."

Qin Yu tapped his chest. Yun Yun, who was lying on the bed, looked down and found that because she was lying on her side, her lower body had been squeezed and bulged out quite a bit.

"Don't change the subject. You haven't even told me what you're going to do at Gemer Volcano."

Yun Yun adjusted her posture, propping her head up with one hand and supporting her body slightly with her elbow.

This made her voluptuous figure even more prominent, making her look like a female enchantress tempting people to commit crimes.

"You didn't ask me, did you?"

Qin Yu shrugged and sat down on a chair nearby.

"Don't worry too much about that Snake People Chieftain. I have a way to prevent him from controlling the power of the volcano."

"Oh? That makes things easier."

Yun Yun was slightly surprised. If Qin Yu could really sever the connection between that inhuman creature and the Gemer Volcano, then dealing with him wouldn't be a problem for her at all.

I heard that the Snake People Chieftain had revealed a fatal flaw due to the failed fusion.

Afraid of wind.

The Wind-Attribute Battle Qi dealt several times more damage to this Snake People Chieftain than the others.

In other words, this leader was able to use the power of the volcano to repair himself when fighting others by absorbing the volcano's power; otherwise, he would have been torn to pieces long ago!

"Sister Yun, don't you even have a single doubt?"

"Why doubt it? You would never lie about something like this."

Yun Yun removed the hair ornament from her head, and her long, smooth hair fell down, adding to her charm.

"Besides, would you lie to me?"

"It's hard to say."

Yun Yun rolled her eyes at him, then lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and said nothing, but her meaning was clear.

Hearing Qin Yu's footsteps leave, Yun Yun instantly opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling, feeling as if something was not quite right.

It seems Qin Yu still hasn't told her what the purpose of their trip to Gemer Volcano is.

"Hmm... the sensation is so strong, the existence of the Volcanic Rock Flame must be real."

Meanwhile, Qin Yu sat in his room, using his Treasure Perception to confirm the existence of the Volcanic Rock Flame.

Because the sensation brought about by this Heavenly Flames is unique—like scorpion droppings.

The sensations emanating from the direction of Gemer Volcano were exactly the same as those from the Green Lotus Core Flame from last time.

I just don't know what kind of person the Snake People Chieftain looks like.

The fusion of human and snake, and the fear of Wind Attribute —this buff stacking is incredible.

Forget it, whatever. All we need to do is cut off its connection with the Gemer Volcano, and then we can leave the rest to Yun Yun.

He said he would just pick on a few easy targets and deal with those three Snake People at the Dou Wang level.

He's a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong—that's him for sure!

"However, should we make another trip to the Heavenly Qilin Empire later?"

The matter of Gemer Volcano can be largely settled, but after passing through Gemer Volcano, what about the Heavenly Qilin Empire...?

The last time I heard this name was from Hu Gan, the Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy.

According to Hu Gan, the Imperial Family of the Heavenly Qilin Empire enshrines a sacred beast, which is very likely the real Qilin.

Although the cultivation technique he is currently practicing is no longer the Mountain Qilin Suppresses the Mountains technique he used before, and the attribute of his Dou Qi has also changed, his foundation is still Earth Attribute.

As the beast associated with the earth element, it's always good to know more about the Qilin.

Of course, it is precisely because the Qilin is an earth- Earth Attribute to carry all things, that various other types of Qilin with different attributes appear.

(These are all personal speculations; just enjoy them for fun, don't take them too seriously.)

I wonder if the Qilin in the Heavenly Qilin Empire is a genuine Earth-element Qilin.

"Knock knock knock"

Just then, there was a knock on Qin Yu's door, interrupting his thoughts.

"Sister Yun, what's wrong?"

The door opened, Yun Yun was standing outside.

Her hair was still loose, half tucked behind her ears and half falling over her shoulders.

"Nothing, I'm just feeling a bit bored."

"Then go ahead and cultivate. I've already advanced to the first star level in just one month, and you haven't made the slightest progress."

"Please, I'm Dou Emperor now, how could I advance so quickly like you?"

Yun Yun was not at all shy; she ducked under Qin Yu's arm and slipped into the room.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Come, sit here and chat with me for ten gold coins."
