Beside it rested a massive flying beast, its wings folded calmly, while a young woman in a white dress stood nearby.
Her slender waist and graceful figure could have stolen the breath of any man who laid eyes on her.
"Xiao Lan," she said softly to the beast, "we'll be staying here for a while."
The woman was none other than Xiao Yixian. Since leaving Qingshan Town overnight, her eyes had carried a quiet sadness, though she still smiled gently as she spoke to her companion.
A sharp cry echoed from the beast's throat. It lifted its head suddenly, staring upward with alert eyes.
"What's wrong, Xiao Lan?" she asked, puzzled.
Following its gaze, she looked up ... and through the swirling mist above, a figure with silver wings appeared, descending from the heavens.
Her heart skipped a beat.
"It's Brother Ye Chen… He found me so quickly."
For a fleeting moment, joy flashed in her eyes ....but it was soon replaced by melancholy.
Master~ please command Lingyou as you wish~"
The Spiritflame Cat knelt gracefully, its tail swaying lightly as an irresistibly sultry voice escaped its lips.
Hearing that sound, Ye Chen felt a pleasant shiver run down his spine. Reaching out, he stroked the cat's soft fur with a faint smile.
Lingyou… looks like you've chosen your own name. Very well, from now on, you'll be called Lingyou."
"Thank you, Master~"
The Spiritflame Cat leaned affectionately against his palm, her gesture soft and intimate.
This voice… it's enough to make anyone's heart melt!
Nearby, Xiao Xun'er blinked in surprise at the cat's behavior.
Then, as she watched Ye Chen stroke its head and saw the creature's obedient, alluring demeanor, something clicked in her heart.
"So that's how it is… I'll have to change myself, too.
If I want more of Master's affection, I'll need to learn from her."
She resolved silently, determination flickering behind her beautiful eyes. Lingyou had qualities she could learn from ... grace, boldness, and charm.
Fufu~"
A playful laugh escaped her lips as she slid her slender jade hand over Ye Chen's.
Lowering her voice to a soft murmur, she said sweetly, "Master, you're so kind.
Sending Lingyou to keep me company ... I'm truly happy."
"As long as you're happy," Ye Chen replied with a warm chuckle. "Lingyou will stay here with you for a while."
The soft touch on the back of his hand, smooth as silk, made his smile deepen.
"Well, it's almost time. We're nearing the Imperial Capital ....I should get going." Ye Chen said, handing Lingyou to Xiao Xun'er.
When she heard he was leaving, Xiao Xun'er's gaze softened.
"Master… please visit Xun'er often. I'll miss you."
"Don't worry," Ye Chen replied gently. "It won't be long before I come see you again."
Watching the faint sway of her slim waist and the subtle charm glimmering in her eyes as she spoke, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a
surge of pride.
His training of Xiao Xun'er had clearly begun to show results.
Just as he prepared to step out.....
"Ding! Detected: Yun Yun is pregnant.
Congratulations, Host! You've received a grand reward!"
"Ding! Would the Host like to open the reward package?"
The system's clear voice suddenly echoed in Ye Chen's mind.
His eyes widened in shock before joy burst forth in his heart. "Teacher Yun Yun… is pregnant?"
At first, he could hardly believe it ..... but the more he thought, the more his excitement grew.
Before, Xiao Yixian had conceived quickly, while Yun Yun had shown no signs for weeks. Ye Chen had even begun to suspect that nothing had taken root that day.
But now, with the system's confirmation, all doubt vanished.
A broad grin spread across his face. "So it just took a little longer because Teacher's cultivation is higher. That makes sense."
In the Dou Qi Continent, the stronger one's cultivation, the harder it was to conceive.
Otherwise, ancient powerhouses like Gu Yuan wouldn't have so few descendants even after a thousand years.
Curious, Ye Chen's anticipation rose. "System, open the reward package!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Heaven-Tier Technique: Heavenly Serpent Art!
Ding! Obtained Hidden Spirit Stone!
Ding! Obtained Tier Six Flying Beast: Violet Demon Roc!
Ding! Obtained: One Basic Puppet Pill!"
"All rewards have been delivered to the system inventory."
The string of notifications made Ye Chen's pulse quicken with excitement.
Without another thought, he immersed his mind into the system space to inspect the items.
The first item — a cyan scroll radiating faint ancient energy.
Heavenly Serpent Art: A Heaven-Tier cultivation technique once practiced by the ancient Sky Serpent Clan.
When mastered to perfection, it grants the chance to evolve into a legendary Primordial Sky Serpent.
Ye Chen's eyes gleamed. "The Sky Serpent Clan's cultivation art…!"
According to his knowledge, the Primordial Sky Serpent lineage was among the top-tier bloodlines of the entire continent ..... on par with the Ancient Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix races, each bearing the might of a ninth-rank bloodline.
