Yun Yun Appears, World Correction

Xiao Yan hid atop a towering tree.

From here, he could clearly see both sides of the battle in the sky.

In the azure sky, green and red each occupied half the horizon. It was as spectacular as a blockbuster's special effects.

On one side was the Amethyst Winged Lion King, its body covered in purple crystals that gleamed brilliantly beneath the sunlight.

Yet Xiao Yan's attention was fixed on the other side—the human female Dou Emperor.

A pair of green wings gently fluttered behind the woman. Her graceful, curvaceous body was clad in a plain dress, and she held an oddly shaped longsword radiating green light.

Jia Ma Empire, Dou Emperor Realm, female, wind-attributed battle qi.

Who else could it be but Yun Yun?

However, in the original story, Yun Yun had come to borrow Purple Spirit Crystal from the Amethyst Winged Lion King in order to raise Nalan Yanran's strength.

Now that Nalan Yanran had been imprisoned by him, Xiao Yan could not understand why Yun Yun was still confronting the Amethyst Winged Lion King at roughly the same time.

Xiao Yan recalled that although he was not the original Xiao Yan, he had still climbed onto Xiao Xun'er's bed when he was four or five and used battle qi to nourish her muscles and bones.

It seemed as though some force was pushing the plot forward.

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!

Yun Yun's appearance now also seemed to have been driven by some unseen force.

Or rather, this was the world correcting its deviated trajectory.

While Xiao Yan was thinking, the battle in the sky had already reached its climax.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King broke through Yun Yun's layers of wind shields with a Purple Crystal Seal and struck her.

Immediately afterward, the Lion King flashed through the air to appear before Yun Yun, raising its massive claw and viciously slashing at her chest.

At the critical moment, Yun Yun used Wind's Extreme: Meteorite Slaughter, severing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's horn.

Both sides were injured!

Taking the opportunity, Yun Yun flickered through the air several times in succession and vanished beyond the horizon.

"Teacher, let's go. Find that woman."

Medicine Elder wrapped Xiao Yan in his soul power and flew in the direction where the woman had disappeared.

"What, taken a fancy to that woman?"

In midair, Medicine Elder asked with a strange chuckle.

"She's Nalan Yanran's teacher."

Xiao Yan replied calmly.

"Good boy, are you planning to take both the disciple and her teacher?!"

Medicine Elder clicked his tongue and cried out teasingly.

"What are you thinking? I just want to ask why she came to the Magic Beast Mountain Range."

Xiao Yan's lips twitched.

With Xiao Yan deliberately searching, he soon found the injured Yun Yun in a river beneath a waterfall.

Three wounds deep enough to expose bone ran across the woman's chest, blood slowly flowing from them. The crimson blood dyed the surging water at the foot of the peak red, creating a bewitching sort of beauty.

Perhaps Xiao Yan's movements as he picked her up had tugged at her wounds. The unconscious woman's delicate brows knitted tightly, pain showing on her face. She no longer had the bearing of a Dou Emperor and instead looked like an ordinary, fragile woman.

There happened to be a natural cave near the waterfall. Xiao Yan carried Yun Yun inside and laid her on a flat stone within the cave.

Then, with a flash, he vanished from the cave.

More than ten seconds later, he appeared again, with Little Fairy beside him.

"Xian'er, this woman is injured. Treat her."

Xiao Yan pointed at Yun Yun lying on the boulder.

"What a terrible wound. Big Brother Han Li, go fetch some water."

At the sight of an injured person, Little Fairy's sense of duty to heal the wounded and save lives immediately surfaced.

As for why Little Fairy called Xiao Yan Han Li, naturally, it was because Xiao Yan had instructed her to.

By the time Xiao Yan returned with a basin of water, Little Fairy had already removed Yun Yun's inner armor.

"Ah! You're not allowed to look."

Little Fairy hurriedly stretched out her hand to shield Yun Yun's towering chest from view.

Yun Yun also woke up. Since Little Fairy was a woman, she had not been concerned, never expecting there to be a man like Xiao Yan present.

Had she not been injured, Yun Yun might have noticed Xiao Yan the moment he stepped into the cave.

Yun Yun's face flushed crimson.

"I didn't see anything."

Xiao Yan awkwardly set down the basin, then swiftly exited the cave.

Yet an image of two snowy white peaks, towering high into the sky, flashed through his mind.

Medicine Elder was scattering medicinal powder around the cave to drive away magical beasts. Seeing Xiao Yan emerge, he asked with a smile:

"Why did you come out? Aren't you treating that woman?"

"I had Little Fairy clean her wounds."

Xiao Yan said, rubbing his nose.

"Tut, tut, tut." Medicine Elder looked at Xiao Yan with an odd smile.

"I never expected you to be such a gentleman. You had a chance to take advantage of her, yet you didn't. Your teacher underestimated you."

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes, ignored the improper old man, and began training with the Profound Heavy Ruler.

The heavy Profound Heavy Ruler moved as lightly as though it weighed nothing in his hands. He chopped, hacked, swept, lifted, spun—every refined movement came naturally to him.

The Battle Qi Continent had no weapon techniques as such. Weapons were used in conjunction with battle skills, often in broad, forceful movements that were rather crude.

Xiao Yan was confident that even if his battle qi were exhausted, he could still fight a Second-Order Demon Beast with the Profound Heavy Ruler.

"Big Brother Han Li."

Half an hour later, Little Fairy called out from inside the cave.

Xiao Yan twirled the Profound Heavy Ruler in his hand. Its body traced an arc through the air before accurately plunging upside down into the ruler holster on his back.

When he entered the cave, Yun Yun had already put on a loose black outer robe. Upon seeing Xiao Yan enter, her face reddened slightly.

"Big Brother Han Li, I've already cleaned Yun Zhi's wounds and applied medicine. Now we just need to wait for them to heal."

Little Fairy said.

Yun Zhi. Sure enough, she was still using that false name.

Xiao Yan rubbed Little Fairy's head and said, "Xian'er, you worked hard."

He turned to Yun Yun and said with a smile:

"Yun Zhi, hello. My name is Han Li."

"Thank you for saving me."

Yun Yun was somewhat weak, but she revealed a smile and spoke politely.

Xiao Yan asked, "How did you end up fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King?"

Yun Yun explained, "An Alchemy Master friend of mine discovered a prescription. One of its ingredients was Purple Spirit Crystal shed by the Amethyst Winged Lion King, so I came to see whether I could make a trade with the Lion King."

"Unfortunately, it only wanted a Transformation Pill, and I did not have one."

"When the trade failed, I did not force the matter. I was about to leave, but I never expected the Amethyst Winged Lion King to develop murderous intentions and try to kill me."

"Hmph. If I had known it possessed a sealing technique, how could the Lion King have injured me?"

At the end, Yun Yun gave a delicate snort, seemingly unwilling to accept her defeat at the hands of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"I see."

Xiao Yan nodded and did not pursue the matter further.

If the Amethyst Winged Lion King could devour a human Dou Emperor, it would gain enormous benefits and might even advance into a Seventh-Order Magical Beast.

"Once you've recovered, we'll go trouble the Amethyst Winged Lion King again. You draw it away, and I'll take the opportunity to enter its cave and steal its Purple Spirit Crystal. How about it?"

Xiao Yan said with a smile. "Of course, the Purple Spirit Crystal will be mine."

Purple Spirit Crystal was an extremely yang crystal that the Amethyst Winged Lion King shed from beneath its skin once every twenty years. It contained pure Purple Flame energy.

Xiao Yan did not want to miss it.

He wanted both the Purple Spirit Crystal and the Companion Purple Crystal Source.

Yun Yun's delicate brows furrowed slightly, but recalling Xiao Yan's life-saving grace, she still nodded.

"Fine, I agree."

Over the next few days, Yun Yun stayed in the cave and removed the seal within her body.

Xiao Yan accompanied Little Fairy into the mountain range to dig up medicinal herbs, then transplant them into the Portable Space.

Of course, the two only moved through the forest near the cave. After all, numerous magical beasts throughout the region were currently searching for traces of Yun Yun.
