"Ding, killed a Tier 2 magical beast, Flaming Sun Beast, reward 40 Luck Points."
Chen Mo carried Yun Yun as they darted through the dense forest. So far, they had only encountered a group of low-level magical beasts, posing no threat to Chen Mo, who had already advanced to the rank of Battle Master.
Their Luck Points had increased from 100 to 340.
However, they couldn't let their guard down. With the appearance of Tier 2 magical beasts, Tier 3, Tier 4, and even the Lion King that had severely injured Yun Yun would follow.
"That attack was at the level of a three-star Battle Master! How did you do that?"
Yun Yun looked at the Flaming Sun Beast's corpse, burned like coal by Chen Mo's lightning strike, and was filled with shock.
Having just advanced to the Dou Shi level, he single-handedly slew a second-tier magical beast, a Flaming Sun Beast known for its ferocity, that was similar to a human Dou Shi.
Yun Yun had seen many people kill those of higher levels, but this was the first time she had seen someone so easily advance to a higher level without even having time to stabilize their cultivation.
And judging from Chen Mo's appearance, he seemed quite relaxed.
"This shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Chen Mo slightly clenched his fist, thinking to himself, "That must be the power of the giant elephant. It's truly terrifying, but I haven't even used my full strength yet."
Hearing this, Yun Yun immediately rolled her eyes at him, already hatching her own scheme to recruit him into the Yunlan Sect. "Chen Mo, have you ever joined a sect before?"
However, Chen Mo didn't remind her, as this was also a kind of enjoyment.
"No," Chen Mo replied casually. He had discovered a hidden spot.
"Your cultivation talent is excellent. I wonder if you would be interested in joining the Yunlan Sect? I have a friend who is an elder of the Yunlan Sect. If you are interested, I can introduce you to her."
Chen Mo did not answer. As he approached the hidden location he had discovered earlier, he paused and turned back to ask if she had brought any medicine powder that was highly irritating to magical beasts.
Just then, he bumped into Yun Yun, who was turning her head. Their lips touched, and Chen Mo's expression froze for a moment before he quickly separated, saying, "Um, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. I was just about to ask if you had brought any medicine powder to isolate magical beasts so I could sprinkle it outside the cave. You just…"
Chen Mo pointed to the cave in the shadows to his right.
Yun Yun's body stiffened, as if struck by lightning. Her pretty face flushed red with embarrassment, as if she had lost something precious. She pinched Chen Mo's waist hard, and a small jade bottle appeared in her hand. She said angrily, "Hurry up and carry me inside."
"Okay!"
He sprinkled the medicine powder outside the cave and repeated the process as before, leaving only a few tiny gaps for sunlight to shine in.
This cave was much smaller than the previous one.
...
Inside the cave, Chen Mo, remembering the previous situation, hesitated and remained silent. Yun Yun, however, seemed eager to quickly move on from what had just happened. She sat down against the cave wall and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Oh, a friend?"
Chen Mo smiled faintly. The friend you're referring to must be yourself. He coughed lightly and asked, "What realm is your friend at?"
"Dou Wang!" Yun Yun, now completely different from her previous disheveled state, stared at Chen Mo's face as if she wanted to bow down before him.
However, Chen Mo remained calm. After a moment of silence, he said, "No interest!"
"Why? A Dou Wang is a top-tier expert in the entire Jia Ma Empire." Yun Yun was taken aback, not expecting Chen Mo to refuse.
"Because I swore an oath that my teacher must be at least a Dou Huang." Chen Mo said earnestly, constantly watching Yun Yun's expression.
He knew that besides Yun Shan, Yun Yun was the only Dou Huang expert in the entire Yunlan Sect.
He naturally wanted to become Yun Yun's disciple to increase their opportunities to spend time together.
Yun Yun's face immediately became incredibly interesting
. "At least a Dou Huang realm expert? Do you think Dou Huangs are as common as cabbages? There aren't many in the entire Jia Ma Empire!" Of course, given her status, she wouldn't say something so undignified. Instead, she said, "That's a bit difficult, but it's alright. Since you saved me, after I finish my business here, I'll take you to see another friend of mine."
"She's a genuine Dou Huang expert!"
"Who?" Chen Mo asked cooperatively.
"It's a secret, but you'll definitely be surprised!" Yun Yun smiled gently.
"Then I'll wait and see!"
...
And so, the two lived together in the cave for two days.
Due to the cramped space, their bodies inevitably touched, and with Chen Mo's attentive care while shirtless, their relationship gradually warmed up.
Even some ambiguous things happened.
Unfortunately, Chen Mo wasn't an alchemist, so he couldn't concoct aphrodisiacs, and naturally, he couldn't mistakenly put them as seasonings in his food.
Besides, during this time, Chen Mo also stabilized his cultivation at the first star of the Dou Shi realm, and made slight progress in the first level of his cultivation technique.
"The Spear of the Underworld God, the strongest attack technique, is formed by condensing the Hell Vortex True Qi of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force. It can communicate with the power of hell and summon it from all directions."
Chen Mo imagined holding the spear, his Dou Qi transforming into Underworld God power through the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, condensing in his hand into a semi-illusory black spear about ten feet long.
The moment the black spear appeared, Yun Yun, who had been sleeping with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them, staring in horror at the withering green leaves covering the cave entrance!
The aura of death.
Turning to the black spear in Chen Mo's hand, who was sitting cross-legged at the edge of the cave entrance, she thought in astonishment, "Could this be his doing?"
At this moment, Yun Yun doubted herself.
Could she really be his teacher?
"Sigh." Inside the cave, a soft sigh slowly faded away.
As the warm morning sun shone on Chen Mo, he rolled over in annoyance, comfortably draping one leg over his shoulder and placing his hand in a suitable spot. He
even gently squeezed it, finding it pleasant to touch.
"Bang!"
Chen Mo's body slammed heavily against the cave wall, completely waking him from his sleep.
*Clang!
* A flash of sword light.
Chen Mo suddenly felt a chill on his neck; a strange cyan longsword was pressed tightly against his throat, and his body instantly stiffened.
Chen Mo's gaze drifted upwards, and he saw Yun Yun, a slightly tattered plain dress covering her voluptuous figure, her upper body clad in a black warrior's outfit, standing behind him holding a longsword, her beautiful face icy cold!
"Gulp."
"Your seal is broken?"
"Ding, a three-star peak Dou Huang has been detected. You can spend 43,000 Luck Points to spy on her."
