The Little Fairy Doctor reached out with her jade-like hand and covered Xiao Yan's mouth.
She had long been mentally prepared for this.
Brother Xiao Yan was so outstanding; he would surely have many women by his side in the future.
Besides, she was kind-hearted and could not possibly watch Sister Yun Zhi die.
"Brother Xiao Yan, I understand. You had no choice but to do this in order to save Sister Yun Zhi."
The Little Fairy Doctor said with a smile.
"Xian'er, I swear that I will never abandon you."
Xiao Yan held the Little Fairy Doctor's hands and spoke affectionately.
"Brother Xiao Yan, I believe you."
After kissing Xiao Yan on the lips, the Little Fairy Doctor smiled and walked out of the stone house.
"Teacher, aren't you leaving?"
"Cough, cough."
Old Yao coughed awkwardly a few times before saying sternly,
"You brat are truly blessed to be loved by such a kind woman as the Little Fairy Doctor. If you ever wrong her in the future, this old man will not spare you either."
With that, he floated out of the room.
After the two left the room, Xiao Yan waved his hand and sealed off the stone house's space, isolating all sounds from the outside world.
Looking at the unconscious Yun Yun, he muttered to himself,
"I hope you won't blame me when you wake up."
As he spoke, he reached out to undo Yun Yun's clothes, his hands trembling slightly.
It was Xiao Yan's first time taking off a woman's clothes. The last time he cultivated with the Little Fairy Doctor, she had undressed herself.
Soon, Yun Yun's exquisitely curved body was revealed before Xiao Yan's eyes. It was a flawless body.
Unfortunately, the bandages wrapped around her chest marred that perfection somewhat, leaving a slight sense of regret.
Xiao Yan began taking off his own clothes.
Since Yun Yun was injured and unable to move, he could only handle the dual cultivation himself, and he had to be extremely careful.
As the dual cultivation began, the energy between heaven and earth swiftly gathered. It was even more immense than during his previous cultivation with the Little Fairy Doctor.
All the energy within the portable space converged here.
Even deep within the Magic Beast Mountain Range, at the spot where Xiao Yan had entered the space, countless strands of worldly energy gathered before vanishing into thin air.
A great deal of pink gaseous energy emerged from where their bodies were pressed together.
The pink gaseous energy absorbed the converging energy of heaven and earth, wrapping the two of them within it.
With his previous experience in dual cultivation, Xiao Yan was now thoroughly familiar with the process.
Xiao Yan's consciousness entered Yun Yun's body and reached her vortex. There was not much Dou Qi within it.
However, the energy of heaven and earth was now abundant. Xiao Yan guided it into her vortex, which began spinning rapidly and converting it into wind-attributed Dou Qi.
An hour later, one-fifth of the wind-attributed Dou Qi in Yun Yun's vortex had recovered, and only then did Xiao Yan stop.
Xiao Yan changed position. Next, he needed to guide the Dou Qi within Yun Yun's vortex to expel the Purple Flame from her meridians.
This step was not particularly difficult.
There was not much Purple Flame inside Yun Yun's body.
Xiao Yan used his consciousness to direct Yun Yun's Dou Qi into her meridians, searching for the Purple Flame wreaking havoc within them. A massive surge of Dou Qi swarmed forward and enveloped the Purple Flame as it tried to flee.
Then, Xiao Yan guided the Purple Flame to Yun Yun's mouth and expelled it from her body.
"I possess the Myriad Flame Emperor Physique and can absorb flames to advance. This Purple Flame energy comes from a sixth-tier magic beast and is rare even among beast flames. Absorbing it will surely bring me enormous benefits."
At that moment, Xiao Yan lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers, absorbing the Purple Flame expelled from Yun Yun's body.
The unconscious Yun Yun instinctively responded to Xiao Yan's actions.
Half an hour later, all the Purple Flame within Yun Yun's body had been completely expelled.
Xiao Yan did not stop. Next, he still had to heal Yun Yun's meridians and physical body, which had been damaged by the Purple Flame.
This step was far more difficult than expelling the Purple Flame and required exceptional care.
Although Yun Yun's body and Dou Qi did not reject Xiao Yan's soul force, it was not Yun Yun's own soul force after all. Thus, he could not command her Dou Qi as freely as he wished.
Xiao Yan could only slow down and carefully guide the Dou Qi to repair Yun Yun's body bit by bit.
Time passed little by little as Xiao Yan and Yun Yun were enveloped within a gigantic pink energy egg.
Energy fluid flowed through the egg's shell.
Suddenly, the eggshell shattered, and the energy contracted inward. Most of the pink energy entered Xiao Yan's body, while a smaller portion flowed into Yun Yun's.
At this moment, both of them remained motionless with their eyes closed.
As the pink energy entered Xiao Yan's body, a small portion merged into his vortex, while most of it enhanced and strengthened his physical body.
Xiao Yan's physical cultivation rose without pause.
First tier, second tier, third tier—it directly reached the fourth tier.
His physical body was now comparable to that of a fourth-tier magic beast.
His Dou Qi cultivation also rose by six stars, reaching the eight-star Dou Master level. The liquid Dou Qi within his vortex had already reached the size of a washbasin.
As the pink energy entered Yun Yun's body, the Dou Qi she had expended was fully replenished.
Since Yun Yun was a three-star Dou Emperor, she did not break through this time.
However, the remaining pink energy still strengthened her body, making it comparable to that of a second-tier magic beast.
As the pink energy faded away, both of them awoke from that profound and mysterious state.
Yun Yun gave a soft cry and slowly opened her eyes.
Their gazes met in midair.
Xiao Yan inwardly thought that he was finished and was just about to summon spatial power to defend himself.
But the attack he had imagined never came.
In truth, Yun Yun had already awakened during the latter half of the process. It was simply that Xiao Yan's dual cultivation physique was too domineering. The pink energy it produced suppressed her, leaving her body unable to move, though her consciousness remained clear.
"Get off me already."
Yun Yun snorted coldly.
Xiao Yan awkwardly slid off Yun Yun.
Yun Yun brushed her right hand across her green ring, and a white dress appeared, covering her beautiful body.
Naturally, Xiao Yan had no habit of walking around naked either, so he took out a fresh set of clothes from his storage ring and put them on.
"Turn around. Don't peek."
Yun Yun's expression was icy, and her tone was cold.
Yet the lingering flush on her face robbed her actions of much menace, giving them a uniquely alluring charm instead.
Xiao Yan obediently turned around, though inwardly he thought, It's not as if I haven't seen it before. What is there to be embarrassed about?
The rustling sound of Yun Yun getting dressed came from behind him.
"Little fellow, treat all of this as a dream. Forget what happened today."
Behind him, Yun Yun bit her lip and spoke coldly.
Xiao Yan also knew that Yun Yun was not the kind of woman whose heart could be won merely by obtaining her body.
The fact that Yun Yun had not killed him on the spot was already a blessing from the heavens. His risk in saving her had not been in vain.
"Alright. I'll send you out."
Xiao Yan nodded in agreement. Then, before Yun Yun could react, he grabbed her arm and flashed out of the space.
The next moment, they arrived in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
The air was still thick with the scent of blood, while the roars of magic beasts faintly echoed from afar.
"Just now... was that a spatial realm?"
Only after the sudden shift in space did Yun Yun come to her senses.
Unfortunately, once she left the space with Xiao Yan, its spatial coordinates vanished, and Yun Yun could no longer sense its existence.
Unless Xiao Yan opened the space again, Yun Yun would only be able to sense it once more and enter it at the instant it closed.
"That is a secret."
Xiao Yan did not wish to say more. At the same time, he remained on guard. If Yun Yun forced him, he could only flee first.
As for whether he could escape from Yun Yun's grasp, that was not something he could afford to consider now.
Yun Yun gave Xiao Yan a deep look, her voice still cool as she said,
"Little fellow, you really do have many secrets."
"Ah, perhaps we'll meet again if fate allows..."
Yun Yun turned around. Green wings appeared behind her back, and with a light flap, she gracefully swept into the sky, soon disappearing beyond the horizon.
Xiao Yan stared blankly at the sky. His experiences over the past two days felt like a spring dream.
Leaving no trace behind.
