Struck by the Dou Techniques of Yun Yun and Xiao Yan, the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s life immediately began its countdown on the spot.
It crashed into the mountain forest below, blood flowing out like a gushing stream.
Xiao Yan stood beside it, the white wings on his back slowly folding away.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King glared ferociously at Xiao Yan, its voice weak yet filled with unabated rage: “Despicable human!
If not for your sneak attack, this king would never have lost!”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan recalled that in the original story, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had indeed held a slight upper hand, so he nodded in agreement, “Indeed, if I hadn’t intervened, you would have won.”
The Amethyst Winged Lion King did not expect Xiao Yan to actually admit it, but it felt not the slightest bit of happiness in its heart, staring with unwilling eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan said, “Lion King, there is no need to worry about your child in the Immortal Cave.”
“I will send him down to accompany you so you two can be reunited below.”
The Amethyst Winged Lion King: “Human, fuck your…”
Before the Amethyst Winged Lion King could finish its sentence, Xiao Yan slammed another punch straight onto its head.
That was enough; he didn’t want to hear any profanity.
Storing the Amethyst Winged Lion King into his storage ring, Xiao Yan did not leave immediately, but instead began searching around the mountain forest.
Having seen Yun Yun fall, he naturally wouldn’t just ignore her.
Of course, his decision to save Yun Yun was not driven by lust, but based on her value.
A Dou Huang expert was an exceptionally powerful combat force in the entire Jia Ma Empire and even the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Even as the overlord of the eastern region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had only barely held an advantage over Yun Yun.
The overlords of the other three directions of the Magical Beast Mountain Range were most likely not much stronger either.
Together with Yun Yun, they could definitely defeat them one by one.
Three more Rank 6 Demonic Beasts—how much of a boost would that bring him?
Just thinking about it made him feel joyful.
Therefore, he not only had to save Yun Yun, but he had to do everything he could to save her so she could recover her full combat strength as quickly as possible.
After searching for a while, Xiao Yan spotted Yun Yun hanging from the treetop of a large tree.
Blood oozed from the wound on her chest, and her clothes had been ripped open with a large hole, though luckily a sufficiently sturdy inner armor covered her private areas, preventing any indecent exposure.
Furthermore, because of her battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, those weaker Demonic Beasts had fled far away, which kept her from meeting a tragic fate before Xiao Yan found her.
Xiao Yan pulled out a robe from his storage ring and draped it over her, then carried her down from the treetop and flew towards the small valley.
After flying for a short while, Xiao Yan successfully returned to the small valley.
Upon landing, Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly rushed up to meet him, asking with immense concern, “Young Master Xiao, you’re finally back!
Such a terrifying battle just broke out deep in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
You weren’t caught up in it, were you?”
Feeling warmth in his heart from her concern, Xiao Yan smiled and said, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Xiao Yi Xian quickly circled around Xiao Yan to check if he had suffered any injuries.
Finding that Xiao Yan truly wasn’t injured, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
It was only at this moment, after relaxing her mind, that she finally noticed Xiao Yan was actually holding a woman in his arms.
Xiao Yi Xian glanced at Yun Yun’s perkily voluptuous chest and murmured sullenly, “Who is she?”
“Let me take her inside the house first to stop her bleeding and apply medicine.
I’ll explain while we treat her.”
The two walked towards the house.
Entering the house, Xiao Yan retrieved a standard healing Medicinal Pill from his storage ring and fed it directly into Yun Yun’s mouth.
Entering her mouth, the Medicinal Pill was instinctively swallowed into her stomach by Yun Yun.
Yun Yun’s state immediately improved significantly, her aura no longer falling.
Xiao Yi Xian took out healing medicine and, frowning at the gruesome wound on Yun Yun’s body, began applying it.
When she reached the chest area, Xiao Yi Xian’s face flushed bright red, and she turned Xiao Yan around so that his back was turned.
Xiao Yan didn’t mind and recounted the entire story from cause to effect.
Hearing the story, Xiao Yi Xian was filled with shock.
“You killed the Demonic Beast overlord, the Amethyst Winged Lion King?” Xiao Yi Xian asked in disbelief.
“Why would I lie to you?
The Amethyst Winged Lion King’s corpse is still sitting in my storage ring,” Xiao Yan chuckled, having no intention of hiding his strength—or rather, no intention of hiding it from Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yi Xian believed him this time.
Sizing up Xiao Yan from head to toe, she didn’t feel any distance growing between them, but was instead brimming with joy: “Wow, that’s amazing!
Now I have such a huge backer in you!”
“Mm, I will be your backer from now on,” Xiao Yan nodded in agreement.
By this time, Xiao Yi Xian had finished applying the medicine and wrapped Yun Yun with clean cloth strips.
Turning around, Xiao Yan noticed beads of sweat on Xiao Yi Xian’s forehead and instinctively reached out to wipe them off.
Xiao Yi Xian blushed, not dodging his hand.
As her gaze met Xiao Yan’s eyes, she felt his eyes were exceptionally bright.
Just as the atmosphere turned slightly ambiguous, Yun Yun slowly woke up on the wooden bed and opened her eyes.
“Who…
are you people?” Yun Yun asked in a weak voice.
The ambiguous atmosphere vanished in an instant.
Facing Yun Yun’s inquiry, Xiao Yan said seriously:
“The people who saved your life.
I even fed you a Grade 3 Medicinal Pill to heal your injuries.”
“And the person beside me is my friend, Xiao Yi Xian.
She was the one who cleaned and bandaged your wounds.”
Understanding what happened, Yun Yun said to Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian, “Thank you both for saving me.
Once I recover from my injuries, I will definitely repay you.”
Xiao Yan spoke directly at this point, “Want to repay us?
Simple.
Follow my orders for one month, how about it?”
Yun Yun’s expression changed: “One month?
Isn’t that a bit too long?
I have important matters to attend to and cannot delay for too long.”
Xiao Yan shook his head directly: “This isn’t a negotiation, this is a statement.”
“I laced the Grade 3 Medicinal Pill I fed you with a few extra ingredients.
In one month, I must personally undo it, otherwise…”
Xiao Yan didn’t elaborate further, but how could Yun Yun fail to catch his meaning?
Her face immediately turned cold.
She hadn’t expected such an upright-looking, handsome, and heroic young man like Xiao Yan to actually resort to coercion.
Xiao Yan didn’t care about Yun Yun’s attitude; he only needed her to do things for him.
One month was enough for him to hunt down the other three overlords of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
By then, his strength would inevitably see a massive increase, to the point where Yun Yun might not even be his match, so he naturally wouldn’t need her help anymore.
Besides, he felt that his requirement for Yun Yun was not unreasonable.
He had saved her life, so asking for one month of service was nothing excessive.
Had anyone else been given such a great opportunity, they would probably have tried to find a way to permanently control this Dou Huang expert.
It wasn’t that Xiao Yan hadn’t thought about it, but he was mainly afraid of attracting the attention of the Cloud Mist Sect and that Soul Hall Protector, so he abandoned the idea.
One month was just right—enough for him to complete his plan without causing too much turmoil.
Xiao Yan stood up, ignoring Yun Yun, and said to Xiao Yi Xian, “Xiao Yi Xian, I’ll trouble you to take care of her for now.
I haven’t finished my work yet, so I’ll be back in a while.”
Xiao Yi Xian nodded with no objections.
Xiao Yan walked outside the wooden house, unfolded the Purple Cloud Wings on his back, and flew out of the small valley.
Seeing this, Yun Yun widened her eyes in shock: “Is he a Dou Wang?”
Xiao Yi Xian felt strangely proud: “What’s a Dou Wang?
When you were fighting that Amethyst Winged Lion King, it was Young Master Xiao who finished it off and killed the Amethyst Winged Lion King.”
Yun Yun was even more in disbelief: “The Amethyst Winged Lion King was killed by him?”
Yun Yun suddenly remembered that before she was struck by the Amethyst Seal and fell unconscious, she seemed to have seen a shadow rush forward and strike the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Could it really be this youth who didn’t even look twenty years old?
…
At this moment, Xiao Yan had already flown out of the small valley, heading straight for the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s Immortal Cave.
It was time for him to raid its home!
