Xiao Jian chuckled and sat beside her.
"What were you remembering earlier?" she asked softly.
"I'll tell you a story. It's called Never Bully a Young Man for Being Poor.
Once, there was a talented boy…"
After hearing the tale, Yun Yun frowned deeply.
"That girl was horrible. She destroyed his clan's name."
"Yeah. But he cleared his name in the end and reached the peak of the continent.
As for me, I also had a broken engagement. It didn't get too ugly, but that feeling… someone above you threatening your life… I hate it.
When you pointed your sword at me, thinking I'd done something indecent… it hurt.
Especially since I respect you."
"So that's why you came alone into the Magic Beast Mountain Range....to grow stronger faster?"
She asked quietly.
Xiao Jian nodded.
"It's been hard for you," she murmured.
He smiled faintly. "Best talent in the clan means carrying the clan's burden."
"Enough. It's late. Go rest."
He said.
"You're going to keep cultivating?"
"Yes. I'll be leaving soon. Planning to head to the Tager Desert...my brothers formed a mercenary group there."
"Mm. Then I'll rest first."
She returned to the hut.
Xiao Jian narrowed his eyes and continued cultivating within the valley's rich energy.
Inside, Yun Yun peeked out through the window at the boy cultivating under the moonlight, her gaze softening.
Coincidentally… she also needed to go to the Tager Desert soon.
They were destined to meet again.
Five days later..
Yun Yun walked out in a light blue dress, hair tied neatly, noble and elegant. When she caught him looking, she hesitated, then smiled softly.
"Your seal is undone? Ready?"
Xiao Jian asked.
She nodded and handed him a small crystal.
"Wear this. When you get close to the Amethyst Source, it'll heat up. Follow the warmth."
He pocketed it.
I'll bring back not just one piece....maybe everything."
She chuckled. "If you take all of it, the Lion King will go mad."
She added, "I'll use a secret technique to boost your strength to near Da Dou Shi for a short time.
I'm wind-attribute too....I can increase your speed. Avoid fighting beasts; the noise will draw more."
"I know. I'm there for the crystal only."
Xiao Jian nodded.
She placed her jade-smooth hand on his back, flooding him with Dou Qi....equivalent to five Qi Reservoirs.
"Amazing…"
Xiao Jian clenched his fists in excitement.
"One hour. Get the crystal before then," she warned. "I'll hold off the Lion King."
"Got it."
He gave a small smile, then suddenly leaned in and picked her up....just like he had done with Xiao Yixian.
Yun Yun froze, face instantly red.
"You.....what are you doing?!"
"sister Yun , you're not expecting me to run there, are you? I'd die halfway."
She inhaled deeply, then reluctantly nodded.
He tightened his hold. Yun Yun's breath quickened.
"sister Yun … shall we go?"
He whispered near her ear.
"You brat! Keep teasing me and I'll drop you from the sky!"
She pinched his waist.
He hissed.
They took off into the sky.
"Don't hold so tight!" she muttered.
"If I don't, you'll drop me."
"Then control yourself!"
Her cheeks grew redder.
"Cloud-sister, a gentleman simply holds his 'weapon' firmly."
"Jian Xiao! Say one more word and I'll really throw you!"
He finally calmed himself using the Ice Technique, and she relaxed somewhat.
"You brat… you call this proper behavior?
"This is respect. If I felt nothing hugging a beauty, that would be disrespectful."
She was speechless.....but… it made a strange sort of sense.
"No, you're still teasing me!"
She pinched him again.
Soon, the cave of the Amethyst Winged Lion King came into sight.
After landing, Xiao Jian gently set her down.
"That cave?"
"Mm. The defenses are tighter now."
She would draw the beasts away; he would slip inside.
"You… be careful."
He smirked. "You too. Otherwise you'll owe me another favor."
She rolled her eyes and shot into the sky.
The mountains trembled with beast roars and Yun Yun's attacks.
"Human woman! You dare return?! I'll tear you apart!"
A purple streak exploded outward....the enraged Lion King.
The battle soared into the sky.
Xiao Jian darted through the forest toward the cave.
Most beasts were dead, but two three-star ones still guarded the entrance, trembling under the pressure.
He had no intention of fighting. Time was extremely limited.
He quickly formulated a plan.
