"You really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" The voice, faintly the same cold one from before, now carried an air of extreme confidence and a hint of anger, giving Chen Mo the answer.
"Instinctive reaction, instinctive reaction..." Feeling the coolness at his neck, Chen Mo's legs involuntarily tightened, then he coughed lightly, "The weather's really nice today."
He moved the longsword pressed against his neck back slightly.
This wasn't cowardice, it was acting from the heart.
Yun Yun didn't continue to argue; it seemed her reaction was merely out of self-restraint and to remind Chen Mo not to push his luck.
She then stored the longsword in her storage ring and turned to walk out of the cave.
...
The sun blazed high in the sky. On
a small hillside, Yun Yun stood with her back to Chen Mo. If one disregarded the clash between her warrior's uniform and her half-length plain skirt, Yun
Yun now exuded the same grace and nobility she had when fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King—a cold arrogance that made others feel ashamed.
If the original story had a female lead with a special aura, she would easily surpass Xiao Xun'er and Little Fairy Doctor by leaps and bounds, with only Medusa comparable.
No young girl can compare to the allure of a mature woman.
Of course, only children make choices; Chen Mo, with the soul of an adult, chooses to have it all.
Seemingly sensing Chen Mo's burning gaze, Yun Yun slowly turned around, her beautiful eyes slightly raised, meeting the gaze of what she perceived as a pair of frivolous, dark eyes. She said calmly, "At your age, it's inevitable that you're a bit restless. Once you enter the Yunlan Sect, I'll introduce you to a woman whose talent is comparable to yours."
"Who?"
"You'll find out then." Yun Yun gazed into the distance, where a group of low-level magical beasts were still searching for her. She said coldly, "They're quite persistent..."
Chen Mo knew who she was referring to and was about to reply when Yun Yun said to him, "You've broken through to the Dou Shi level, which saves me a lot of trouble. I'm wind-attribute, and I'll inject some Dou Qi into your body to amplify your speed..."
Yun Yun explained her plan to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo knew the main event was coming, and he felt a surge of anticipation.
One second, two seconds, ten seconds passed, and the system remained silent.
"Damn it, is this for real? Other people's systems would have popped up missions by now, but yours hasn't even moved. Is it that lazy?" Chen Mo complained.
Still no response.
"Alright, if not, then so be it. Who told me to be so helpful?"
Yun Yun, seeing Chen Mo's lack of reaction after she finished speaking, assumed he was unwilling and felt a strange sadness.
Just as she was about to go alone, Chen Mo's smiling voice rang in her ear, "Then come on."
Without waiting for Yun Yun's reaction, he took her hand and gently placed it on his back.
Looking at Chen Mo's back, Yun Yun glanced down at her clothes, her cheeks inexplicably flushing. Far from being bothered by his taking her hand without her consent, she smiled knowingly.
Then, a surge of… ugh, a torrent of battle qi poured in, like a warm current flowing through Chen Mo's meridians.
Before Chen Mo could even carefully feel the ripples brought by Yun Yun's hand on his back…
"Ding, a peak three-star Dou Huang has voluntarily transferred his cultivation to your host. You can spend 310 Luck Points to steal his cultivation."
"Ding, because he voluntarily transferred his cultivation to the host, a special reminder: anyone whose cultivation is stolen will lose the ability to be stolen."
"Holy crap, there's such an operation."
A string of information flashed by, and then the system threw two options at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo stared at the confirm option. He had a feeling that as long as he had a thought, the system could immediately drain Yun Yun's cultivation, who had her hands behind her back.
"Cancel."
Chen Mo thought.
What a joke.
I'm already planning to take Yun Yun away. If I were to take away her cultivation as well, it would be just too inhuman.
Besides, isn't a beautiful bodyguard with immeasurable potential more appealing than the cultivation of a three-star Dou Huang?
This powerful flow of Dou Qi gave Chen Mo an indescribable sense of fulfillment, as if he could hold a plow and till several miles of land himself.
As his bones cracked, Chen Mo shuddered, feeling as if he had been sublimated, an indescribable bliss.
"This battle qi is enough for you to use for an hour. During this hour, your speed will increase to several times your original speed. In terms of speed alone, even a Great Battle Master cannot match you..."
At the end, Yun Yun specifically cautioned, "If you cannot find an opportunity, do not risk your life, lest..."
"I know, my life is more important." Chen Mo knew Yun Yun was worried about him, so he pretended to be nonchalant.
But he knew in his heart that if he could get the Purple Spirit Crystal, he would be one step closer to winning the heart of his beauty.
In the original story, Xiao Yan didn't have much difficulty obtaining the Purple Spirit Crystal; in fact, he had unexpected gains. He was much stronger than Xiao Yan was back then, so there was no reason for him to fail.
Of course, that was assuming Xiao Yan didn't cause trouble.
However, based on Chen Mo's experience gleaned from thousands of novels
, wherever there are treasures, there will inevitably be the protagonist.
The stronger the treasure, the greater the probability of the protagonist appearing.
The protagonist's halo is that terrifying.
If he really did appear, with Yao Lao around, he simply couldn't defeat him!
What to do?
What to do?
...
Right.
If I remember correctly, the novel seemed to say that after entering the Monster Beast Mountain Range, as long as Xiao Yan wasn't in mortal danger, Yao Lao wouldn't intervene. If
that's the case...
"Hehehe...
I beat Xiao Yan so badly he couldn't even...
No way," Chen Mo shook his head. He still had to be careful, in case something unexpected happened...
"Slap!" Yun Yun saw a lewd smile flash across Chen Mo's face, then slapped him on the forehead, coldly saying, "What kind of crooked ideas are you thinking about?"
Looking at Yun Yun, who had appeared in front of him at some point, Chen Mo coughed and said seriously, "I'm not thinking about any crooked ideas. I'm thinking about how to help you get the Purple Spirit Crystal." "
Really?"
"Of course."
"By the way, if I really help you get the Purple Spirit Crystal, do you have any reward for me?"
"What kind of reward do you want?"
"Ten months of parenthood... I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, you have to promise me first." Chen Mo almost blurted out his true feelings.
Yun Yun shook her head, "I won't agree to it unless you tell me what it is."
"In short, it won't be something that goes against your conscience." "
Won't go against my conscience, then... okay then." Yun Yun thought for a moment and agreed.
"Then let's get started!"
Chen Mo quickly hugged Yun Yun's slender waist.
"What are you doing?"
"I can't fly."
...
"Teacher, at this rate, when will I ever advance to Dou Shi!" Xiao Yan skillfully wielded the Xuan Heavy Ruler, his entire body drenched in sweat.
"What? Thinking of giving up?" Yao Lao frowned.
"What are you thinking, Teacher?" Xiao Yan stopped wielding the Xuan Heavy Ruler, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "I was wondering, with Yunlan Mountain providing resources, what level is Nalan Yanran at right now?"
"So you're under pressure." Yao Lao's brow relaxed, and he smiled. "Pressure is a good thing. Although you haven't advanced to Dou Shi yet, with your current strength, ordinary one-star Dou Shi are no match for you."
"At this rate, at most two months..."
"Roar!"
"Human woman, you dare to show your face again! Today I will take your life to avenge the destruction of your horn!"
A muffled, thunderous roar came from afar, causing Yao Lao to pause slightly, showing a hint of surprise, before bursting into laughter: "It seems it won't take two months."
