Meanwhile, An Yi survived a deadly ambush by a powerful mercenary team and killed its leader, but his narrow escape revealed how much he still depended on the Void-Stepping Technique.

• Nalan Yanran told Yun Yun that An Yi had left the Xiao Household and might be the white-haired person rumored to be slaughtering people in the mountains.

Days later, he encountered a powerful He Family hunting party searching for the white-haired Magic Beast he had supposedly been, and accepted their leader’s invitation to join them.

• An Yi escaped to a hidden cave, recovered his battle qi with a Third-Order Metal-Element Magic Core, and looted the bodies, gaining more than two million gold coins’ worth of spoils.
• Worried that the bounty would attract Dou Spirits or Dou Kings, An Yi decided to keep a low profile and used Ya Fei’s potion to dye his hair black.

• An Yi learned that the He Family was searching for the white-haired humanoid Magic Beast who had killed the Snake Nest Mercenary Group’s captain, the He Family head’s son-in-law.
• The gray-robed Two-Star Dou Spirit invited An Yi to join the party, and An Yi eagerly accepted the offer of protection.

An Yi led the He Family to the battlefield where he had fought the scar-faced man, then fabricated an eyewitness account that made the white-furred beast seem powerful but badly wounded. The He Family split up to search for it, with An Yi assigned to guide a squad toward nearby caves while planning to stay behind its guards.

• An Yi brought the He Family to the stream and claimed the white-furred beast had slaughtered a group of experts, including a Nine-Star Great Dou Master.

• An Yi mentioned the healing herbs in the eastern forest, prompting the Dou Ling to believe the beast was injured and order An Yi to guide the remaining squad after it.

• An Yi escaped the Wind Wolves by washing away his scent in a waterfall, then watched the sky battle before falling asleep on a reef.
• The wounded Yun Yun crashed onto An Yi, who carried her to his nearby cave after confirming she was unconscious.

• An Yi grilled Second-Order Demon Bull meat, and Yun Yun agreed to pay one hundred thousand gold coins after he named his price.

An Yi and Yun Yun shared a meal and a night in a cave, where Yun Yun tended his severe wound despite his insistence that he would heal quickly. After seeing his arm completely restored, they exchanged names, and Yun Yun was startled that he was also called An Yi.

• An Yi shared beef and Red-Scaled Fruit with Yun Yun, who realized he had a deep snake bite on his arm and suspected he had found the fruit for her sake.
• Yun Yun insisted on cleaning and bandaging An Yi's wound, then agreed to sleep beside him on the cave bed.

• Yun Yun gave her name as Yun Yun, and An Yi introduced himself as An Yi; Yun Yun wondered whether he could be the An Yi known to Yanran, then dismissed the possibility.

An Yi returned to the cave and discovered that Yun Yun had accidentally taken his potent aphrodisiac, then used ice water and his Dou Qi to suppress its effects. Yun Yun recovered, while An Yi cooled himself in the bucket and warned her to change out of her wet clothes.

• An Yi left Yun Yun provisions and water before heading into the Magic Beast Mountain Range to train.
• An Yi returned the next evening with three Magic Cores and found Yun Yun feverish and trembling.
• Yun Yun explained that she had taken the unlabeled medicine An Yi left beside the healing supplies, and he recognized it as a powerful virility medicine with aphrodisiac effects.
• An Yi used an Ice-Element Magic Core to chill several buckets of water and guided Yun Yun's Dou Qi while lowering her into them.
• After An Yi forced the medicine's effects from Yun Yun's body, he placed her on the bed and jumped into the last bucket to cool himself.
• Yun Yun changed into An Yi's white robe while he warned her that looking at him might make him lose control.

An Yi and Yun Yun grew closer while she recovered in the cave, though he charged her for nearly everything. When Yun Yun's seal lifted, An Yi tried to leave before she could retaliate, but she stopped him and promised to pay what she owed.

• An Yi absorbed a third-tier Metal-Element Magic Core directly, shocking Yun Yun with his cultivation technique and physical strength.
• Over the following days, An Yi hunted, gathered herbs, and cultivated while Yun Yun recuperated; their bickering grew familiar as her debt to him exceeded fifteen million gold coins.
• Yun Yun told An Yi her seal should be fully lifted that night and asked him to help retrieve a Purple Spirit Crystal from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's lair for one million gold coins.
• An Yi realized Yun Yun's strength had returned and began packing to leave, fearing she would settle their debts by force.
• Yun Yun grabbed An Yi and insisted she would pay him every coin she had promised.

An Yi secretly fed Yun Yun an excessive dose of his homemade aphrodisiac, claiming he had prepared a way to control her if she turned on him. When Yun Yun’s strength and reason faltered, she dragged him into an ice-water barrel and restrained him, leaving An Yi struggling to stop her.

• An Yi refused to trust Yun Yun and tried to leave while she clung to his wrist and insisted he stay.
• An Yi revealed he had secretly added a super-enhanced aphrodisiac to the roasted meat and pointed Yun Yun toward ice-water barrels and Ice-Element Magic Cores.
• As the medicine overwhelmed her, Yun Yun seized An Yi and pulled him into a barrel of cold water rather than letting him leave.
• Yun Yun wrapped herself around An Yi and bit his shoulder while An Yi tried to cool her with energy from two Ice-Element Magic Cores.
• An Yi turned to help Yun Yun suppress the heat, but she restrained his arms again and pressed her lips to his neck as he feared what she might do once she regained her senses.

After Yun Yun regained control of herself, she accidentally injured An Yi, then cared for him through the night. Once he recovered, they set out to find the Purple Spirit Crystal, though their awkward closeness lingered.

• An Yi used a passionate kiss to transfer icy energy into Yun Yun and suppress the aphrodisiac, but Yun Yun panicked and struck him into a stone wall.
• Yun Yun apologized and spent the night using Dou Qi to treat An Yi's injuries until she fell asleep beside him.
• An Yi recovered by swallowing aphrodisiac medicine and absorbing a Magic Core with the Heaven-Devouring Art, then agreed to help Yun Yun find Purple Spirit Crystal.
• Yun Yun gave An Yi a crystal that could detect Purple Spirit Crystal, hid the beast hide, and took him into the air toward the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's dwelling.
• Yun Yun held An Yi tightly as they flew, and she avoided his gaze when he asked whether she would drop him.

An Yi stole the Purple Spirit Crystal and Companion Amethyst Source from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave, then negotiated safe passage by taking its son hostage and feeding it a rare fruit. After Yun Yun received the crystal, she revealed that the fruit was a legendary Ziying Fruit, leaving An Yi to realize he had given away a treasure worth far more than he knew.

• Yun Yun lured the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King away while An Yi killed the cave guards and entered the cave.
• An Yi subdued the Little Lion King, stole the Purple Spirit Crystal, and collected the Companion Amethyst Source.

• An Yi gave Yun Yun the Purple Spirit Crystal and catalyst, then admitted he had also taken the Companion Amethyst Source.
• Yun Yun identified the fruit as a legendary Ziying Fruit that could help a Sixth-Order beast advance to the Seventh-Order, and An Yi regretted giving it away.

An Yi and Yun Yun prepared to part ways after the Little Lion King chose to follow An Yi, but An Yi sent the young beast back to its mother. The Little Lion King returned with a stash of magic cores, and Yun Yun gave An Yi her Heart of the Sea Armor before their farewell.

• An Yi invited the Little Lion King to join him, but told it to return to its mother first, then kissed Yun Yun and held her as they prepared to part.
• The Little Lion King returned after sneaking away from its mother, but An Yi persuaded it to go home because the outside world was dangerous.
• The Little Lion King came back again and gave An Yi a pile of magic cores and storage rings, apparently taken from its mother's treasury, before flying home.
• Yun Yun gave An Yi her Heart of the Sea Armor as compensation, but tried to take it back when he jokingly said he would smell it to feel she was near.

After leaving Yun Yun, An Yi escaped the Magic Beast Mountain Range, converted his spoils into metal-element cultivation resources, and trained until he reached the peak of Nine-Star Great Dou Master. He left Blackrock City knowing the He Family had sent another force into the mountains to hunt the white-furred magic beast, unaware that An Yi was their target.

• Yun Yun warned An Yi that the Snake-People Tribe was hostile to humans before flying away, and An Yi headed west toward Blackrock City.
• An Yi sold unwanted weapons, techniques, and Magic Cores, then bought metal-element resources and rented a secluded cultivation courtyard.
• After a month of seclusion, An Yi's cultivation surged to the peak of Nine-Star Great Dou Master, but he stopped before breaking through because his foundation was unstable.
• An Yi relaxed in Blackrock City and learned that the He Family had sent three High-Rank Dou Spirits into the Magic Beast Mountain Range to hunt the white-furred magic beast.
• An Yi laughed at the He Family's plans, reasoning that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King might mistake the new force for thieves while he had already left the mountains.

A ravenous White Tiger Bloodline drove An Yi to swallow a bottle of Companion Amethyst Source, triggering a violent surge of fire energy inside him. The disturbance drew a Dou Spirit and three Great Dou Masters to his door, where they pretended to offer help while eyeing his treasure.

• An Yi traveled toward the Tagor Great Desert aboard a Thick-Winged Bird and struggled to keep his bloodline from draining his Dou Qi.
• An Yi drank a bottle of Companion Amethyst Source after exhausting his Magic Cores, and his White Tiger Bloodline began greedily absorbing its energy.
• The energy eruption from An Yi's room alerted four nearby guests, including a black-robed Dou Spirit and three Great Dou Masters.
• The black-robed Dou Spirit proposed using An Yi's supposed cultivation trouble as a pretext to inspect his room, and a goateed Great Dou Master knocked on the door.
