Seeking help

"Is that so? Since you don't want to talk about certain things, Sister, I won't pry."

Yun Ying looked at her, her eyes crystal clear.

Hearing Yun Ying say that, Yun Xi felt a little embarrassed. So she had seen through it long ago. But how could Yun Xi possibly speak of something like that? She would rather die than let anyone know.

"Oh, right, Sister. I have something for you."

Then Yun Ying spoke to Yun Xi and took out a piece of blue-green metal. Azure radiance curled around it, spreading in every direction like rippling water, breathtakingly beautiful.

"What is this?"

Yun Xi was curious. It looked like a piece of rare metal.

"Azure water divine gold. I found it in the Hundred Broken Mountains. I used half, and the remaining half is for you. If there's a precious artifact you want to forge, this is an excellent material."

Yun Ying explained.

"Ying, you're the best!"

Yun Xi threw herself into Yun Ying's arms, overjoyed. Ever since they were little, whatever good things Yun Ying obtained, she always gave half to Yun Xi, without a single exception.

"Well, we are sisters."

Yun Ying smiled gently, her smile blooming like a flower, stunning heaven and earth.

Had their other clansmen seen this, they would surely have been struck speechless. After all, they had only ever seen Yun Ying's aloof side. Such tenderness was simply unimaginable.

"Hehe."

Hearing Yun Ying's words, Yun Xi beamed. In front of her, she could act spoiled without any restraint.

Just then, a Little Golden Beast arrived. "Young ladies, the master wishes to see you."

"Understood. We'll head over right away."

Yun Xi pulled out of Yun Ying's arms, straightened her clothes, and took Yun Ying by the hand as they left.

A short while later, Yun Ying and Yun Xi arrived at the great hall.

"You're here."

Besides Yun Canghai, an expert from the Chi Dragon lineage was also in the hall.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?"

Yun Xi asked.

"The Chi Dragon clan's young dragon has been captured in the Void God Realm. Ying, we need you to help rescue him."

Yun Canghai spoke.

"He was captured? By whom?"

Yun Xi was astonished. That little Chi Dragon was a pure-blooded ferocious beast who had opened nine Cave Heavens. Who could have captured him? Could it have been the Double-Pupiled One? She could think of no one else capable of such a feat.

"No, it was that Bear Child. He has reportedly opened his tenth heavenly grotto and is invincible within the Cave Heaven domain. That was how he captured our young master. Now that Bear Child even wants to boil our young master. His life hangs by a thread. Please, Lady Yun Ying, save him."

The expert from the Chi Dragon lineage appealed to Yun Ying, because he had learned from Yun Canghai that she, too, had opened ten Cave Heavens.

In the blessed lands for the Cave Heaven Realm within the Void God Realm, Bear Child was invincible after opening ten Cave Heavens. Only someone who had likewise opened ten could contend with him.

"Why was he captured?"

Yun Ying asked softly.

"Uh... well..."

The expert from the Chi Dragon lineage did not know how to answer. His young master had gone to make trouble for Bear Child, even trying to stop him from opening ten Cave Heavens, and this was how it had ended.

Seeing the expert's expression, Yun Ying guessed the reason.

"I understand. I'll give it a try."

Yun Ying nodded.

"Thank you for lending your aid, Lady Yun Ying."

The expert from the Chi Dragon lineage was delighted.

Then Yun Ying entered the Void God Realm, with Yun Xi following her. A servant from the Chi Dragon lineage guided them toward the place where Bear Child and the Chi Dragon were.

Amid a mountain range, a Human Youth was simmering soup, with a crystal-clear piece of precious meat in the pot.

He sat atop a Chi Dragon. The meat in the pot had been cut from the dragon's body. It seemed he intended to boil the Chi Dragon and eat him.

Not far away, many people watched, exclaiming in amazement. That was one of the Pureblood Creatures, yet this Bear Child had subdued him and even wanted to eat him. How savage.

Still, it fell a little short of his rampage through the Rain King Mansion a few days earlier, when he had eaten a God's decree.

Suddenly, Bear Child looked in one direction, wariness in his expression. He had sensed a formidable foe.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw two graceful figures appear. Their beauty was ethereal, their bodies shrouded in divine radiance. Their purple robes fluttered as they stood like fairies, transcendent and untouched by the mortal world.

Beside them stood a Golden Beast, golden all over, a divine servant of the Primordial Sacred Mountain.

"They're from the Primordial Sacred Mountain!"

Everyone was startled as they recognized the newcomers' identities.

"You identical ferocious beasts are here too! Come back to the village with me this time. This Chi Dragon won't behave, so I'm going to boil him. You two can come back and guard the village entrance!"

Seeing Yun Ying and Yun Xi, Bear Child immediately stood up and shouted.

"You little thief! Say that again!"

Yun Xi could not bear it any longer. She truly wanted to give him a savage beating. He kept calling her a ferocious beast at every turn.

"So what if I say it again? Ferocious beast, are you unhappy? Want to wrestle me again?"

Bear Child was not afraid in the slightest. Now that he had opened his tenth heavenly grotto, he was invincible in the Cave Heaven Realm. Even if a deity came, he would subdue them.

"You..."

At the word "wrestle," Yun Xi nearly flew into a rage.

"We mean you no harm. We've only come to ask you to release that Chi Dragon. If you have any conditions, you may name them, provided they aren't excessive."

Yun Ying spoke, her voice clear and tranquil, as though it held a magical power that calmed everyone's emotions.

Terrifying!

Some of the nearby experts' expressions shifted slightly. Her voice alone could affect them. Such a thing would be impossible without profoundly advanced cultivation.

Bear Child's gaze sharpened slightly. This ferocious beast was stronger than the other one. The pressure he felt from her meant that she, too, had opened her tenth heavenly grotto, and had done so earlier than him.

At that thought, a bright gleam appeared in Bear Child's eyes. He dearly wanted to see which of them was stronger now that both had reached the cave heaven extremity.

"No. He's my food. Still, letting him go isn't out of the question. You just have to agree to one condition."

Bear Child's eyes darted as he spoke.

"Please, go ahead."

Yun Ying nodded.

"It's simple. Beat me, and this Chi Dragon is yours."

Bear Child said.

"You're asking to be humiliated. Do you really think opening your tenth heavenly grotto makes you invincible?"

Yun Xi scoffed.

"Well? Will you fight or not? Beat me, and I'll release this Chi Dragon."

Bear Child stared at Yun Ying, itching to try his hand.

"Very well."

Yun Ying held his gaze for a while before nodding.

"Little thief, just wait until you're beaten into the dirt."

Yun Xi sneered.

"Ferocious beast, here I come! If you can't beat me, I'm taking you back with me!"

As his words fell, Bear Child sprang up and lunged at Yun Ying, throwing a punch that filled the sky with golden symbols.

Facing his punch, Yun Ying raised her hand. Her palm, white as jade, struck forward, likewise unleashing a flood of runes.
