Yun Yun Was Injured: Three Choices for the Plot

After leaving the foot of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yan headed straight into its depths.

There was no denying that the magical beasts in this mountain range were formidable.

They might not amount to much in the eyes of his teacher, Yao Ling.

But with his current strength, he would have to tread carefully if he came here alone.

A few magical beasts of a sufficiently high rank could easily appear out of nowhere and kill him.

Fortunately, with Yao Ling protecting him, there should be no major problems.

She would step in to save him when necessary.

So he had no need to worry.

Besides, he had his heaven-defying comprehension reward. Venturing deep into the Magical Beast Mountain Range might allow him to comprehend a Dou Technique, or even improve his strength.

This really gives me something to look forward to.

Hopefully, I can gain insight into some medicinal formulas, ways to improve my strength, or Dou Techniques. Then this trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range won't have been wasted, and I won't have taken this risk for nothing.

Xiao Yan murmured to himself inwardly.

As they traveled, Yao Ling continued offering advice beside him.

"Since the Magical Beast Mountain Range in your Jia Ma Empire is home to magical beasts, encountering some high-ranking ones is inevitable."

"But I suspect the strongest beasts here are only on par with human Dou Emperors. Although I'm no longer as strong as I was in my prime, I still have the strength of a Dou Zun."

"Helping you deal with a mere Dou Emperor-level magical beast is well within my abilities, so don't worry. Go ahead boldly."

"If any danger arises, I'll take control of your body and kill it. You needn't worry."

"Thank you, Teacher."

Seeing Xiao Yan express his gratitude, Yao Ling immediately smiled.

There was no denying it.

She was very pleased with the disciple she had taken in.

Before he knew it, Xiao Yan had reached halfway up the Magical Beast Mountain Range, where he spotted a woman fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King near a cave.

There was no denying that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was a magical beast whose strength rivaled that of a human Peak Dou Emperor.

After exchanging just a few moves with the human woman, he had already completely overwhelmed her.

Moreover, Xiao Yan recognized the woman at a glance. She was Yun Yun of the Misty Cloud Sect, a three-star Dou Emperor.

Never mind a mere three-star Dou Emperor-even nine-star peak-level Dou Emperors like Jia Xingtian or Queen Medusa-

Might not necessarily gain any advantage against the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

After Xiao Yan arrived here,

He witnessed the battle firsthand.

He said nothing. Sure enough, within just a few exchanges, Yun Yun was defeated, and even the power within her body was sealed.

"That damned beast actually sealed my power!"

Yun Yun cursed under her breath. Continuing under these circumstances would certainly put her at a disadvantage, so she simply broke off the battle and fled into the cave.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared in the sky.

"Human woman, if you dare challenge this king again, you won't be so lucky next time. For today, I'll spare your life."

"You'd best not fail to recognize what's good for you."

With that, the Amethyst Winged Lion King roared, beat his wings, and flew away.

Yun Yun had already hidden inside the cave. Her battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King had left her gravely injured, and with her Dou Qi sealed, she could not use it to heal herself.

As a result, she looked rather bedraggled.

Before long, she heard a sound and thought the Amethyst Winged Lion King had returned.

Her expression immediately filled with panic, her tension plain to see.

But then she realized that the person entering was a youngster who looked about eleven years old-just a boy.

Yun Yun's first reaction upon seeing a boy appear here was shock.

"Young man, how did you end up here? Do you know this is the Magical Beast Mountain Range? And we're deep inside it!"

"I suggest you leave at once. If the Amethyst Winged Lion King returns, I'm afraid you'll die without even a place to bury your body."

Yun Yun offered this warning out of kindness.

But after looking Xiao Yan up and down, she felt that his composure was quite impressive.

Any other youngster who had witnessed that battle would probably have been so frightened that their legs went weak.

Yet he looked utterly calm, as though he truly thought nothing of it, which surprised Yun Yun.

However, Xiao Yan neither heeded nor took any notice of her well-intentioned warning.

He merely remarked indifferently,

"It's just a mere Amethyst Winged Lion King. No big deal."

What? No big deal? Had she not heard it herself, Yun Yun would never have believed anyone could speak of the Amethyst Winged Lion King that way. After all, even Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe's empire-

And Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the human empire's Jia Ma Imperial Family-

Probably wouldn't dare underestimate the Amethyst Winged Lion King despite being nine-star Peak Dou Emperors. Wasn't this youngster being far too presumptuous?

"You certainly talk big! Do you know how powerful the Amethyst Winged Lion King is? He rivals a human Peak Dou Emperor!"

"You saw my fight with the Amethyst Winged Lion King just now. Where does a boy like you get the confidence to make such boasts?"

Yun Yun rolled her eyes and spoke with some exasperation.

Xiao Yan, however, said nothing. He simply found a place to sit down, while also noticing that a set of choices had appeared on the system panel for him to select.

[Yun Yun's injury detected. Please select one of three choices for the next plot development.]

[Option one: Kill Yun Yun and loot her equipment.]

[Option two: Remain indifferent and let events take their course.]

[Option three: Offer to apply medicine to Yun Yun's wounds and share an intimate, flirtatious moment with her. You will gain 100% favorability from Yun Yun. This will determine the character's ultimate path.]

[The host may choose from these three options. Different choices will lead to different plot developments and endings. Please make your decision carefully.]

As he read the prompts on the system panel, the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth curved wildly upward, and curiosity stirred within him.

After all, Yun Yun's ending in the original story had been quite regrettable.

The hostility between the Misty Cloud Sect and the protagonist, Xiao Yan, meant that the two never found a proper ending together, leaving a lingering ache that could not be laid to rest.

It was also something many readers regretted.

Since he had transmigrated into Xiao Yan, he naturally wouldn't let such a regret come to pass. His guiding principle was simple: he wanted it all.

And so, he immediately made his choice.

"System, I choose the third option!"
