Elder He's breakthrough to the Dou Ling realm is absolutely exhilarating.
In the Jia Ma Empire, there are only a dozen or so experts above the Dou Wang level. It's no exaggeration to say that outside the capital, Dou Ling experts can roam freely.
"Elder He, how are you feeling now?" Liu Yun asked excitedly.
"Young Master, my body is better than ever before.
That 'Meridian Shaping and Bone Removal Pill' is too heaven-defying. It not only healed my injuries but also maximized my potential.
In the process, it also removed the residue of the medicine left in my body, helping me break through to the Dou Ling realm in one fell swoop," He Qingfeng said excitedly.
You must know that in order to cultivate to the Nine-Star Great Dou Master, he had frantically taken medicine, leaving countless hidden dangers in his body. Now that all the hidden dangers have been eliminated and he has broken through to the Dou Ling realm in one fell swoop, it's simply like a blessing from heaven.
"Well, regarding Elder He's breakthrough to Dou Ling, I suggest we keep it from the family's knowledge. Let him continue staying in Wutan City!" Liu Yun said.
"My life belongs to the young master; I'll obey your orders at any time," He Qingfeng readily agreed.
He also felt there was no need to return to the capital. Although a newly promoted Dou Ling would excite the Mittel family for a while, those old guys were not to be underestimated; they were all cunning and scheming, and he might be in trouble one day.
He simply couldn't integrate into the circle of those elders; after all, his surname wasn't Mittel.
"Well, Elder He, you go ahead and get busy. Adapt to your new power as soon as possible. We'll go to the Monster Mountain Range again in a while," Liu Yun said with a smile.
He Qingfeng nodded and then eagerly went to cultivate.
Liu Yun was in a good mood. He hummed a little tune as he walked towards Ya Fei's room.
Along the way, many staff members greeted him, and he responded to each one with a very gentle tone.
"Sister Yafei, are you there?" Liu Yun knocked twice on the door and called out.
A moment later, the door creaked open, and Yafei, dressed in a simple white robe, smiled at him.
"Brother Liu Yun!" Yafei smiled sweetly.
This time, Yafei wasn't wearing her signature cheongsam, but rather a loose black dress, yet even so, it couldn't hide her curvaceous figure.
Liu Yun took a deep breath. Every time he saw Yafei, his first impression was one of stunning beauty, followed by deep infatuation. He had almost no resistance to such a bewitching beauty.
"Brother Liu Yun!" Yafei called again, her voice so sweet it seemed to seep into his bones.
Seeing Liu Yun staring intently at her, Yafei felt a strange sensation, a sweet joy welling up inside her.
"Sister Yafei, you're so beautiful!" Liu Yun stammered.
Ya Fei chuckled softly, welcoming Liu Yun into the room before closing the door. Turning around, she found Liu Yun not sitting down, but brazenly appraising her figure.
Before she could speak, Liu Yun boldly stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.
The close contact sent shivers down Ya Fei's spine. She could feel Liu Yun's breath, his burning gaze, and the intense heat emanating from him, leaving her momentarily stunned.
Liu Yun held Ya Fei tightly around the waist, sensing her utter weakness; if he didn't hold her like this, she might collapse to the ground.
Feeling the lovely woman nestled in his arms, Liu Yun could no longer restrain himself. Under Ya Fei's dazed gaze, he gently leaned closer and kissed her rosy lips.
Time seemed to freeze in that moment, the air in the room seeming to grow damp.
A quarter of an hour later, both of them collapsed to the floor, embracing each other tightly, Ya Fei's pretty face flushed crimson.
"Little brother Liuyun!" Yafei said coquettishly, head bowed. Really, if you're going to kiss, just kiss properly, why use your hands?
"Sister Yafei!" Liuyun looked at Yafei in confusion.
"Could your hands..." Yafei said, trembling.
"Uh, okay!" Liuyun smiled awkwardly, reluctantly withdrawing his hand.
Yafei hurriedly tidied herself, her pretty face turning even redder. Thinking of her earlier madness, she was so ashamed she wanted to disappear into the ground.
"Sister Yafei, let me give you a gift. I'm sure you'll like it," Liuyun said with a smile.
He was also a little embarrassed. Yafei was a very conservative girl. Although her every smile and gesture was irresistible, that allure was only superficial. Who would dare to actually touch her?
So, Liuyun needed to change the subject and ease the awkwardness between them.
"No need for a gift. I'm not a little girl anymore," Yafei said coquettishly, clearly displeased with his earlier actions.
Liuyun smiled slightly and, without hesitation, took out a medicinal herb.
The moment the herb appeared, a delicate fragrance wafted over, refreshing the mind and spirit. Each leaf was crystal clear, exuding a noble aura that captivated the soul.
In a daze, the two seemed to see a pure and elegant fairy, noble and dignified, unattainable.
"Sister Yafei, this herb is called 'Narcissus Jade Skin Herb.' It can only be consumed by those at the Qi Refining stage. It can nourish tendons and bones, clear the meridians, and make the skin smoother. It can also improve the aptitude of those with poor aptitude. It's most suitable for you right now," Liu Yun said.
Yafei looked at the Narcissus Jade Skin Herb in surprise. Herbs that could improve aptitude were extremely rare, and she hadn't expected Liu Yun to possess such a thing.
Yafei knew that the Mittel family could never produce something so valuable; it could only be due to Liu Yun's own good fortune. It seemed this little guy had quite a secret!
However, she wouldn't ask him directly; as long as it benefited Liu Yun, that was enough.
"Little one, it's best not to show this to others easily, or it could easily cause trouble." Ya Fei pushed the Narcissus Jade Skin Grass back into Liu Yun's arms, her face showing no trace of greed, only relief.
"Sister Yafei, this is a gift for you!" Liu Yun emphasized softly.
"You're so kind to your sister, I'm very touched, but this will be more effective for you. I don't have the talent for cultivation, it would be a waste if you ate it," Yafei said.
Liu Yun knew that Yafei didn't not need the gift, but she preferred to consider his needs. She wanted him to become stronger.
Liu Yun was extremely moved. A big sister like Yafei usually didn't fall in love easily, but once she did, she would spoil you rotten. That's the quiet, unassuming gentleness of a big sister; she would always think of you.
"Sister Yafei, as I said, the 'Narcissus Jade Skin Grass' can only be consumed by those at the Dou Qi stage. I'm already a Dou Zhe.
And as I said, this is a gift I specially prepared for you, so you can't refuse it!" Liu Yun explained.
Hearing Liu Yun's words, Yafei was moved, but her heart was already in turmoil. Liu Yun had already broken through to Dou Zhe?
A Dou Zhe before the age of fifteen, maybe more, maybe even earlier—what did this mean? It meant that this little guy was truly a prodigy!
"But this is just too precious!" Ya Fei looked at the extraordinary medicinal herb before her, seemingly untouched by the mortal world, and said hesitantly.
"So what if it's precious? Anyway, everything I own belongs to Sister Ya Fei, and Sister Ya Fei, from now on, you're completely mine." Liu Yun hugged her waist again, teasing her with a straight face.
"Stop it, I promise you, okay?" Ya Fei's pretty face flushed red, and she said tremblingly, unable to resist such teasing.
"Okay, Sister Ya Fei, then you can refine it here, and I'll protect you." Liu Yun smiled.
"I'll take a bath first, then refine it." Ya Fei blushed and hurriedly went into the bathroom.
Seeing this, Liu Yun understood, and his smile became even brighter.
