Lu Changfeng had only taken a few steps with the Amethyst Winged Lion King when Yun Yun's voice suddenly rang out behind him again.
"Wait!"
Hearing this, Lu Changfeng stopped and glanced back at her, his brow furrowing slightly.
Yun Yun clutched her chest and took two steps toward him, hesitation on her face. In the end, she gritted her teeth and spoke. "I have something that might interest you."
Lu Changfeng said nothing, merely watching her and waiting for her to continue.
Then Yun Yun drew a deep breath, seemingly making up her mind. "What I want to give you is a promise."
"I can agree to one request and condition of yours. No matter what you ask me to do, I'll agree and never refuse. However excessive the request, I'll accept it."
After saying this, Yun Yun's cheeks grew slightly hot, but she forced herself to hold his gaze.
The young man before her possessed unfathomable strength and could subdue the Amethyst Winged Lion King with a casual gesture. Someone like him had to possess an opportunity as vast as the heavens.
If she did not seize this chance to establish a connection with him now, she feared she might never have another opportunity, so she was willing to put forward her greatest bargaining chip.
Hearing her words, Lu Changfeng did feel somewhat interested. He looked Yun Yun up and down, and memories of her from the original Battle Through the Heavens surfaced in his mind.
After all, Yun Yun was one of the beauties in Battle Through the Heavens. She had outstanding looks and considerable strength, and her relationship with Xiao Yan in the original story had been ambiguous as well.
Since she had come knocking of her own accord, he had no reason to turn her away.
So Lu Changfeng said, "Three requests."
"If you agree, I'll have the Amethyst Winged Lion King lift your seal and treat the injuries you suffered after being sealed."
When Yun Yun heard the words "three requests," she bit her lip. It had already taken a great deal of resolve to offer one request. As for three...
But on second thought, if he really could help her lift the seal and heal her injuries, three requests were not unacceptable. Besides, in her current situation, she had no other choice.
"All right, I agree." Yun Yun finally nodded.
"Three requests it is. As long as it's something I can do, I certainly won't refuse."
Seeing her agree, Lu Changfeng said nothing more and turned toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King beside him. "You, go lift her seal."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King hurriedly nodded at his words. "As you command, Master!"
It moved its enormous body over to Yun Yun and let out a low roar.
Immediately afterward, a streak of purple light flew from its mouth and sank into Yun Yun's body. Yun Yun felt the sealing power that restrained her Dou Qi rapidly crumble, and a warm current began flowing through her meridians.
Her Dou Qi was also stirring to life again, and her lost strength was recovering little by little.
Although the seal had been lifted, however, the injuries within her body did not immediately heal.
She had suffered considerable internal injuries during her battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King earlier, and her meridians had sustained some damage as well. If she did not treat them promptly, her strength might plummet.
After sensing the condition inside her body, Yun Yun frowned slightly.
Lu Changfeng naturally noticed her condition as well, so he took several medicinal herbs from inside his robe and handed them over.
"Take these herbs. Once you return, boil them into a medicinal decoction and drink it. They can treat your damaged meridians."
Yun Yun took the herbs and examined them. They were all spiritual herbs of considerable grade, and their combination was extremely well balanced. Clearly, they had been specially selected. Her expression instantly turned to shock, and she looked up at Lu Changfeng.
"You're an alchemist?"
A young man in his early twenties being strong enough to casually swat away a sixth-rank magical beast was one thing, but if he was also an alchemist, that was far too outrageous!
After glancing at her, Lu Changfeng neither denied nor confirmed it, merely saying calmly, "Take the herbs back and use them yourself. I shouldn't need to teach you how, should I?"
Holding the herbs, Yun Yun felt tremendous shock surge through her heart.
This man really was an alchemist, and judging by the precision with which he selected his herbs, his tier definitely couldn't be low.
He had to be at least a fifth-tier alchemist!
The more Yun Yun thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed. When had such a monster appeared in the Jia Ma Empire?
His terrifying strength was one thing, but his alchemy was so accomplished as well. Someone like him was as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns across the entire continent. Lu Changfeng, however, paid no further attention to her shock and turned to glance into the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
"Amethyst Winged Lion King, go into the mountains and help me find these medicinal herbs. Bring them back once you find them."
He casually listed several herb names, all of them auxiliary ingredients needed to refine that physique-strengthening pill.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King hurriedly nodded. "As you command, Master! I'll go right away!"
With that, its enormous body raced toward the depths of the mountains and soon vanished into the dense forest. Only after watching it leave did Lu Changfeng turn back.
Yun Yun was still standing where she had been, holding the herbs as her expression kept shifting. Looking at the young man before her, she had only one thought.
This man was definitely no ordinary person. She had to find a way to build a good relationship with him.
Lu Changfeng glanced at her and said casually, "All right, the seal has been lifted, and I've given you the herbs. You can leave now."
Yun Yun opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but ultimately left it unsaid. In the end, she cupped her hands toward Lu Changfeng. "Thank you. I still don't know how to address you."
"Lu Changfeng," he replied.
Hearing this, Yun Yun firmly committed the name to memory, then nodded. "Lu Changfeng... I'll remember that. I, Yun Yun, will keep my promise of three requests. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me at the Misty Cloud Sect at any time."
After saying this, Yun Yun turned and left in another direction, her figure soon disappearing into the dense forest.
Watching her retreating figure, Lu Changfeng did not think much of it.
He waited where he was for a while. Once the Amethyst Winged Lion King returned with those herbs, he could head straight back to the imperial capital.
He had gained quite a lot from this trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range. He had obtained the lion blood, picked up a sixth-rank magical beast as a mount along the way, and even gotten Yun Yun to owe him three requests. However he calculated it, this deal was no loss.
Lu Changfeng leaned against a nearby tree trunk and rested with his eyes closed, in quite a good mood.
Before long, a disturbance came from the distant forest. Clearly, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had returned.
