Ziyan at the Gate

"Well, breaking through to the Dou Wang isn't that easy. You should wait a little longer."

Han Yue smiled faintly and comforted her.

In the Dou Qi Continent, many people spend their entire lives stuck at the Peak Dou Ling, unable to make any further progress.

The Dou Wang rank is a crucial bottleneck in cultivation. Even her great-grandfather, a Dou Zong powerhouse, stayed at the Peak Dou Ling for nearly two years.

When she was little, her great-grandfather told her that overcoming this major hurdle required understanding the universe and that it was not easy to break through.

"I've been waiting for so long..."

As soon as Ziyan finished speaking, she suddenly looked up at the sky.

A streak of light streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed, arriving above the two in the blink of an eye.

"Who!"

A hint of wariness flashed in Ziyan's large, dark eyes, and her Dou Qi surged within her, ready to strike at any moment.

But when Ziyan saw the figure clearly, she was stunned for a moment.

"Nalan Chenfeng?"

Ziyan's eyes widened, and then an overwhelming sense of excitement welled up inside her.

Now that he has broken through to the Dou Wang, he can go with her to the Magical Beast Mountain Range behind the academy to find medicinal herbs, and she can finally eat something better!

"Um."

Nalan Chenfeng folded his wings, landed lightly in the courtyard, and nodded.

"Dou Wang..."

Han Yue stood up, her clear, beautiful eyes fixed on Nalan Chenfeng. She pursed her red lips, unable to utter a word for a moment.

She had always known that Nalan Chenfeng was very talented and cultivated very quickly, but when she saw him break through to the Dou Wang, she still felt a moment of disbelief.

Dou Wang expert under fifteen years old—the word "monster" is insufficient to describe such talent and potential; she will never be able to catch up in her entire life.

"Very good!"

Ziyan immediately realized what was happening, her large, dark, and lively eyes filled with excitement.

"You promised me that you'd accompany me to the Dou Wang Magical Beast Mountain Range to find medicinal herbs later, and you can't go back on your word now!"

"Of course not."

Nalan Chenfeng smiled slightly and nodded.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go now!"

Ziyan couldn't wait to pull up Nalan Chenfeng's sleeve and walk outside.

"I just finished my cultivation. Shouldn't you give me some time to talk?"

Nalan Chenfeng shook his head, his gaze falling on Han Yue, scrutinizing her slender and shapely body.

Compared to going into the mountains with Ziyan to find medicinal herbs, he is now more interested in Han Yue.

"Hmph, what a scoundrel, all he does is bully Sister Yue."

Ziyan's big eyes darted around, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Nalan Chenfeng and Han Yue, before she let out a cold snort.

Although she is young, she is not ignorant.

These two are bound to do something naughty and shameful when they're together. It's a pity that someone as clean as Sister Yue is going to be defiled by this guy.

"If you want me to go with you, you'd better stay outside and keep watch, otherwise..."

Nalan Chenfeng was unfazed by Ziyan's disdain and instead threatened her.

There's no need to beat around the bush when dealing with Ziyan; just get straight to the point and talk about the medicinal herbs.

If there's no benefit, no matter how much you explain, Ziyan won't listen. On the contrary, Ziyan is a good girl.

"Snort..."

Ziyan clenched her fists, but ultimately suppressed the urge to attack, and angrily walked to the courtyard gate to wait.

"Ziyan, you're here too!"

Just then, Lin Yan, who was about to discuss something with Han Yue, walked over with a smile and greeted Ziyan immediately.

Lin Yan was met with Ziyan's pink fist.

With a loud bang!

Lin Yan couldn't dodge in time and stumbled back more than ten steps.

Fortunately, Ziyan didn't use too much force and held back, otherwise Lin Yan would be a cripple by now.

"Get lost, you blind fool! Can't you see I'm here guarding?"

"I..."

Lin Yan coughed, his face full of confusion, but he didn't dare to ask a single question and hurriedly left.

"Who on earth has offended this young lady this time?"

Since this Brute Force King joined the Wind Pavilion, it's true that no senior student dared to cause them trouble, but they still got beaten up quite a bit.

"You..."

Hearing the commotion outside, Han Yue blushed and glared at Nalan Chenfeng.

"You know what to do, right...?"

Nalan Chenfeng approached Han Yue with a mischievous grin and picked her up in his arms.

He routinely gave his Yue'er a medical check-up, a rule he had established long ago.

Half an hour later.

In a room with a romantic atmosphere.

Han Yue smiled gently as she nestled close to Nalan Chenfeng.

Their relationship is just one step away from completion, but it's only a matter of time. Once she returns to her family and her father agrees, she will wholeheartedly give herself to the person before her.

Otherwise, I'd be so embarrassed and uncomfortable every time this rascal got to me.

"She's definitely more than three years older than me, that's really something."

Nalan Chenfeng chuckled, holding that warm, soft mass in his hand.

"Go find Ziyan quickly, she might come in if she can't wait."

Han Yue gave a soft hum, as if she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly urged.

It's nothing for her and Nalan Chenfeng to be like this, but if outsiders saw them, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

"I really hate to part with it, but I'll wait a few more years..."

Nalan Chenfeng composed himself, released Han Yue, and lightly pecked her smooth, pretty face.

Han Yue wasn't as cold to him as she appeared; under his guidance and education, she was a very gentle woman.

Unfortunately, now is not the time for him to enjoy such wonderful things. Firstly, he is still young and cannot indulge in beauty too early. Secondly, there is still a hurdle in Han Yue's heart.

Han Yue is a very traditional person with a strong sense of family. She is not rebellious and listens to her elders very much.

This is inseparable from the education provided by the Han Family. Generally speaking, the Han Family treated Han Yue very well, and the latter was grateful for their kindness.

"Stop being so mushy, hurry up and go, be careful..."

Han Yue's delicate body trembled slightly, and she gently pushed Nalan Chenfeng with her jade-like hand.

She knew that the medicinal herbs Ziyan wanted to find in the Magical Beast Mountain Range were rare spiritual herbs guarded by fifth- or Sixth-Rank Magical Beasts, and naturally, she couldn't help with that.

Now that Nalan Chenfeng has broken through to the Dou Wang and possesses those uncanny abilities, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days.

Deep within the Jia Nan Back Mountain, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Two figures darted through the mountains and forests at great speed.

How far is that place you mentioned?

As Nalan Chenfeng flew, he turned his head to look at Ziyan beside him.

"Almost there, it's just behind that mountain ahead."

Ziyan's large, bright black eyes were full of excitement as she pointed to a towering mountain peak in the distance.

"There's a Sixth-Rank Magical Beast there, Aquatic Cyan Scaled Dragon, guarding a Seven-Leaf Xuanbing Lotus. I've been craving it for ages."

Ziyan spoke, she couldn't help but lick her lips.

"Sixth-Rank Magical Beast..."

Nalan Chenfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

Sixth-Rank Magical Beast is equivalent to Dou Huang expert in humans. With their current strength, it's impossible for him and Ziyan it head-on; it would be suicidal.

However, thanks to his special ability to Time Stop, Ziyan proficient in some spatial powers, can distract the opponent so that he can make his move.

Since Ziyan knows about the Seven-Leaf Xuanbing Lotus, she must have tried to steal it before, so nothing will happen.

This is the only way to maximize the probability of success and ensure the highest level of assurance.
