"Ding, the Amethyst Origin has been successfully plundered. Please check your inventory."
After a somewhat difficult escape from the cave, the system's notification echoed in Chen Mo's mind.
With a thought, he noticed a small red dot in his system backpack. Upon opening it, he saw that besides the Aura Concealment Technique and three Healing Charms, there were also four bottles of Amethyst Origin.
"Reliable."
Just as Chen Mo was about to leave this dangerous place, a sudden idea struck him.
A transmigrator who doesn't cause trouble for the protagonist isn't a qualified transmigrator.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, seeing that the stone platform couldn't yield a single drop of Amethyst Origin, was about to store the two small jade bottles containing the Amethyst Origin into his Storage Ring.
Suddenly, he discovered that the two small jade bottles were miraculously empty.
"Damn, where's my Amethyst Origin?"
"Teacher, the Amethyst Origin is gone."
"..."
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Boom!"
Just as Xiao Yan was panicking over the miraculous disappearance of the Amethyst Origin, the sound of beast roars and ensuing combat outside made Yao Lao's expression change.
"Not good, someone is provoking the guards at the cave entrance!"
"Teacher, it must be him." Hearing Yao Lao's warning, Xiao Yan looked at the slightly shaking dust from the cave ceiling, thinking of Chen Mo who had just left, his eyes burning with anger.
Yao Lao's expression was also grim. He hadn't expected to stumble in this small Magical Beast Mountain Range. But after all, he was someone who had weathered many storms, and he quickly calmed down, urging, "Let's go, hurry and retreat. If we're late, we'll be blocked by that big guy."
"Alright."
It seemed even Yao Lao sensed the danger. After darting out of the passage, Yao Lao directly possessed Xiao Yan and continued to sprint towards the cave exit without stopping.
Shortly after he emerged from the passage, an angry lion's roar came from ahead.
The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King was in a sorry state, its expression furious.
It hadn't expected that in the short time it had gone to relieve itself, its lair had been repeatedly infiltrated.
Not only that, but if it hadn't dodged quickly earlier, it would have been struck by that woman's sword.
Since it couldn't do anything to that woman, it would at least take a bite out of you.
However, Xiao Yan, possessed by Yao Lao, was even more formidable than Yun Yun. As soon as it approached, a massive black blade slammed into its body, sending its large frame crashing into the cave wall.
"Ugh!" Suffering a heavy blow, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King's head was ringing, and the cave wall behind it cracked.
"Don't get distracted, hurry and leave. That big guy is coming." The moment the former was sent flying, the latter didn't pause for a second, continuing to rush towards the cave exit.
Just as they flew out of the cave.
But it was still a step too late. The Lion King, who hadn't caught up with Chen Mo and the others, returned to find someone still in its lair, especially its son stumbling out, clearly severely injured. Its mood was understandable.
"Damn humans, I won't let you off today!"
A massive purple light, even larger than the previous two, roared out of the Lion King's mouth, the accumulated anger of three strikes heavily crashing onto Xiao Yan.
Whether he was with that woman or not, someone had to bear the brunt of the fight.
A great battle was about to erupt.
...
In a secluded forest outside the mountain range, Yun Yun could still sense the immense energy fluctuations even from a distance.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was utterly enraged.
"What on earth happened? Why is the Amethyst Winged Lion King so furious?" This level of anger was something even Yun Yun, who had provoked it twice in a row, had never experienced.
As she spoke, Yun Yun turned and crouched down. In front of her, Chen Mo was half-lying against a large tree, still animatedly recounting his heroic deeds, proudly waving the Violet Spirit Crystal in his hand.
Yun Yun's gaze shifted slightly downward, landing on the rather gruesome wound on Chen Mo's chest. Her heart ached, and with a thought, she retrieved several bottles and jars from her Storage Ring.
Opening a small bottle, she poured a bit of pale green liquid onto her fingers and carefully applied it to Chen Mo's wound. As she tended to him, she said, "You managed to get out safely, so why did you provoke the guarding Magical Beast?"
Chen Mo's proud chatter paused. This gentle side of Yun Yun was something he was seeing for the first time. He then burst into laughter and said, "Blame that kid for being unlucky."
Thinking of how Xiao Yan had been outsmarted by his scheme, Chen Mo was thoroughly pleased.
"That kid?"
"Yes, someone beat me to it before I arrived."
"Someone else? How many?"
"Two, I suppose. Ouch!" Chen Mo winced in pain but decided to mention Xiao Yan's name.
"Xiao Yan?" Yun Yun was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Xiao Yan?
"Yes, he said he's from Wutan City. Do you know him?" Chen Mo deliberately asked, keeping a close eye on her expression.
Yun Yun hesitated for a moment, then took out another bottle and sprinkled some medicinal powder on Chen Mo's wound. Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, she sighed and said, "There are some things you'll eventually find out, so I won't keep it from you anymore."
Chen Mo seemed to know what she was about to say and listened quietly.
"Didn't I tell you before that I would introduce you to a talented young woman when we reached the Yunlan Sect?" Yun Yun slowly stood up, her back still turned to Chen Mo as she continued, "Her name is Nalan Yanran, and she was once Xiao Yan's fiancée."
"Ah!" Chen Mo feigned surprise.
Yun Yun went on, "And I'm not really Yun Zhi. I'm Yun Yun, the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect."
"Ah!" Chen Mo acted surprised again, as if he were hearing this for the first time.
"I'm sorry for deceiving you, but I... ah!" Yun Yun suddenly turned around to explain, only to find that Chen Mo had somehow appeared behind her. She stumbled and fell into his arms.
"Ouch, that hurts." The impact of her body against his wound caused Chen Mo to grimace in pain. Before he could savor the moment, she quickly pushed him away.
"Ahem." Chen Mo cleared his throat and smiled, "So should I call you Sect Master Yun Yun now, or Yun Zhi?"
"You're not mad at me?" Yun Yun seemed to care more about Chen Mo's opinion of her than she realized.
"I understand. When we first met, there was no need to reveal your real name." To avoid any misunderstanding, Chen Mo added, "But I didn't hide anything. My name is Chen Mo."
Yun Yun gently bit her red lips, the sincere gaze of the young man leaving her somewhat at a loss. Her eyes kept darting away, and for a moment, both of them fell into silence.
It was Chen Mo who broke the stillness first. He held Yun Yun's delicate hand, swearing to himself that he absolutely wasn't trying to take advantage of her, but rather to place the Violet Spirit Crystal into her palm.
"The teacher you want to recommend is yourself, isn't it?" Chen Mo said with a faint smile.
A blush appeared on Yun Yun's fair face, and then she raised her eyebrows, pretending to be serious. "What, you don't want to?"
"I do, but can I not call you 'teacher' and just use your name instead? Or maybe 'Sister Yun Yun'?"
"Why?"
"Because that's my request."
"Fine, but only in private."
"Sister Yun Yun."
