The figure hanging in the air slowly became clear, and Yun Yun's beautiful eyes shone with a strange light. For the first time, she felt at ease.
[Yun Yun feels relieved, and her emotion value increases by 100]
As the leader of the Yunlan Sect, she had always been the protector of millions of people. She had rarely been protected by someone, with only Gu Fei having done so on two occasions.
What's more, Gu Fei is young yet incredibly powerful.
[Yun Yun feels grateful, and her emotion value increases by 100]
Gu Fei fell to Yun Yun's side. Before he could speak, Yun Yun opened her mouth and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you. You saved me again!"
[Yun Yun has a favorable emotion, and the emotion value increases by 100]
Gu Fei smiled faintly at her. His calm and composed demeanor was a stark contrast to the man who had just been domineering in protecting her.
Yun Yun looked at him with sparkling eyes and lifted the hood from her head. Originally, she thought they would never meet again after their previous separation.
[Yun Yun feels nostalgic, and her emotion value increases by 100]
Unexpectedly, in her time of danger, it was Gu Fei who saved her once more. At that moment, Yun Yun's favorable impression of Gu Fei nearly reached its peak.
This was the second time she had experienced being saved by a hero. Although she couldn't fully understand the emotions stirring in her heart, she wanted to be closer to Gu Fei.
However, Yun Yun was not like Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin, who could follow others without worries. Behind her was a massive sect.
"It's just a small matter!" She gazed at Gu Fei's face with almost greedy eyes but managed to hide the joy of their reunion.
She put the thin sword at her side, still stained with blood. He had saved her from severe injury and helped her break the seal of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. The two had a brief physical contact...
During her separation from Gu Fei, she often thought of their time together in the Warcraft Mountains, remembering only the image of Gu Fei.
Gu Fei smiled with a calm expression. Without the emotional value prompt, he would never have detected Yun Yun's emotional fluctuations.
That burning palm seemed to press against her back again, causing her heart to tremble.
When Gu Fei heard the system's prompt, he was momentarily stunned, and his eyes shifted slightly. Yun Yun had too many burdens to let go.
[Yun Yun has a heart-throb emotion, and the emotion value increases by 100]
Her feelings towards him went beyond mere affection.
Her eyes were calm as she stood beside him. Her small face, hidden under the black hood, looked cold and noble, with her long black hair cascading down.
[Yun Yun has a joyful mood, and the mood value increases by 100]
From the emotional values provided by Yun Yun, Gu Fei understood some of her thoughts. There was no need for him to force Yun Yun to give up everything and follow him.
After their conversation, Gu Fei planned to leave. They both had their own paths to follow, their fates only briefly intersecting.
Gu Fei didn't intend to vocalize these thoughts because he understood that Yun Yun must already know, even if she didn't want to acknowledge it.
The once-rampant Snake Clan now regarded this mysterious strong man with fear, not daring to act rashly. Gu Fei's strength was beyond their imagination, easily breaking the Five Snakes Poison Seal, a combined attack formation of the Five Fighting Kings.
Unless the tribe's elders intervened, they wouldn't dare confront him. Among them, the older snakeman leader, Yin Shi, looked at Gu Fei with fear and quickly retreated into the holy city.
After Gu Fei and Yun Yun finished talking, there was a brief silence between them. Yun Yun knew well that Gu Fei was leaving but couldn't stop him.
[Yun Yun feels reluctant to leave, and her emotion value increases by 100]
Just as Gu Fei was about to depart, Yun Yun suddenly stopped him.
[Yun Yun becomes suspicious, and her emotion value increases by 100]
Gu Fei's expression remained unchanged as he whispered to her, "A few of the old tribesmen are coming to support their young clansmen."
He had felt that the four Douhuang auras that had been silent in the Holy City of the Snake People suddenly began to move.
No matter how Gu He, Yun Yun, and others fought with the snake people, these auras had remained inactive. Gu Fei knew these four people were the foundation of the Snake Clan.
However, due to their old age, they would not act rashly unless it was a critical moment. They preferred to observe rather than exhaust their energy in unnecessary battles.
Yun Yun frowned and looked towards the sky in the distance, where the holy city of the Snake People lay. Though her cultivation had reached the Douhuang level, she was still inferior to these four elders.
She could only sense a vague yet powerful and domineering aura approaching rapidly. "We, the Snake People, will not allow ourselves to be bullied!" A sharp voice was heard, and the snake people nearby looked up with faces filled with ecstasy and respect.
"Have these four old guys finally decided to take action?" Gu Fei saw four old snake women quickly rushing out of the city.
In an instant, four oppressive auras approached. Four gloomy-looking, snake-like old women with wings transformed from fighting spirit stood proudly in the air. Their eyes were fixed on Gu Fei.
At this moment, Yun Yun, standing next to Gu Fei, murmured in disbelief, "Four Dou Huangs?"
"Moreover, the snake people are adept at combined attack formations. The combined power of four people far exceeds that of a single Dou Huang, reaching even the realm of Dou Zong! This is troublesome."
Yun Yun's pretty face showed panic as she looked at Gu Fei with unease. Alone, she would be unable to contend with these four.
On the other side, Gu He and his group, who had ceased their retreat thinking the situation was under control, also changed their expressions. The information they had on the Snake People did not mention these four Dou Huangs.
They hadn't anticipated such a formidable foundation, with four top Dou Huangs among them. Gu He's vision allowed him to see that any one of these four would be enough to crush their group, not to mention the additional snakemen troops.
Regretful for not evacuating earlier, Gu He sighed, realizing that escaping would now be extremely difficult.
Meanwhile, Gu Fei's face remained calm, unaffected by the sudden appearance of the four Dou Huangs.
