Chapter 98: The One Who Comes is Not Friendly
A month ago, Xiao Yan accidentally discovered the cave of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Standing at the entrance, he immediately sensed the lingering fierce aura inside the cave and decided not to go further, keeping his distance.
However, just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, he encountered the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, who had just returned to the cave. Xiao Yan, along with Yao Chen, was startled. He immediately began thinking desperately about how to escape from this sixth rank magical beast.
But what happened next completely took them both by surprise. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King did not immediately attack Xiao Yan, the tiny human standing at the entrance of its lair. Instead, it first asked why Xiao Yan was lingering in front of its cave. Xiao Yan honestly explained that he was just passing by.
During their conversation, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King learned that Xiao Yan was studying alchemy. Upon recalling Xiao Yan's lack of fear or prejudice toward it earlier, it invited Xiao Yan into the cave to help check on its weak son. Later, with the help of Yao Chen, Xiao Yan temporarily alleviated the weakness of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's son.
Since then, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King did not use its high-rank magical beast strength to intimidate Xiao Yan. Instead, it made a deal with him as equals, hoping that Xiao Yan would come regularly to help its son recover while also ensuring that it would pay him in return.
This scene greatly shocked Xiao Yan, who couldn't help but recall the earlier behavior of Mu Li and the others at the secret room entrance.
The beasts, who should have followed the law of the jungle, did not use their strength to pressure him. Instead, they made an equal agreement. Meanwhile, Mu Li and his group, although human, couldn't even communicate properly, and their behavior was even more unreasonable than that of the beasts.
It was truly ironic.
Returning to the present, upon seeing Xiao Yan, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's voice was filled with joy as it hurriedly urged him.
"Xiao Yan! Quickly come and take a look! My son is acting strange again!"
Xiao Yan took two steps forward, crossed the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, and saw a small Purple Crystal Winged Lion King lying on the ground with a pained expression on its beastly face, whimpering helplessly.
"What's going on? After the treatment last time, it should have been almost healed. Why has it gotten worse?"
Xiao Yan furrowed his brows, muttering in confusion.
At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly noticed some purple liquid by the little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's mouth, and when he glanced at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's eyes, he saw a slight sense of guilt in its beastly gaze, making Xiao Yan squint and ask.
"Excuse me, what did you secretly give your son to eat?"
"Uh... a few days ago, seeing that my son was almost healed, I tried letting him absorb some of the accompanying Purple Crystal Essence. But this morning…"
The once mighty sixth-rank magical beast now appeared utterly humble under the gaze of a mere Dou Practitioner, a tiny human. If others saw this, they'd probably be shocked.
"Sigh..." Xiao Yan sighed deeply, looking at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King helplessly. "I understand that you want your son to grow quickly to the point where he can protect himself in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, but you shouldn't rush. That thing is something your son can't handle right now, isn't it?"
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the overlord of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, listened quietly to Xiao Yan's scolding. It knew very well that its son couldn't withstand the energy of the accompanying Purple Crystal Essence. However, after Xiao Yan healed its son, who had been weak since birth, the Lion King couldn't help but feel a little overconfident, thinking that his son could now endure the violent energy of the Purple Crystal Essence, which led to the current situation.
Xiao Yan was absolutely right to scold it for its impatience.
(Little Yan, leave this to me. Even though you've refined a third-tier pill, your soul power is still insufficient to handle this situation.)
Yao Chen spoke, and Xiao Yan nodded, slowly closing his eyes.
When he opened them again, his originally black eyes had turned ruby-red, and his black hair had grown to shoulder length. Although his appearance hadn't changed, there was an intense and captivating aura emanating from him.
Once Yao Chen fully took control of Xiao Yan's body, She raised his hand and clenched it, secretly marveling at Xiao Yan's body.
After truly experiencing Xiao Yan's body, Yao Chen could feel deeply just how inadequate her own previous body had been.
In terms of physical strength, Xiao Yan's body still couldn't compare to her former self, but using it felt so much better, several times more comfortable than the previous one.
With Xiao Yan's physique and the peak Dou Practitioner-level Dou Qi that Yao Chen had enhanced, even a high-level Dou Ling would be no match. This body was so fundamentally strong that Yao Chen began to suspect Xiao Yan might have consumed some rare treasures in the past—was such a physique really achievable just through training?
Yao Chen sighed in melancholy, slightly turning her face and casting a glance at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King beside them.
"We're starting the treatment now. You're too big to be in the way. Go outside and wait."
"Oh... okay."
Hearing Yao Chen's blunt words, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King froze for a moment before slowly turning and walking toward the cave entrance, mumbling to itself.
Why did Xiao Yan always seem like a completely different person when treating his son?
If the usual Xiao Yan was humble and polite, using a friendly attitude to win others over, then now, Xiao Yan was incredibly arrogant and carefree. Yet, his overwhelming charm and the aura of elegance around him made his bad attitude feel entirely justified—no one could bring themselves to resent him.
It was truly strange.
Watching the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King leave the cave, Yao Chen also sneered.
Even though she had fallen from grace, her pride wouldn't allow her to bow before a mere sixth-rank magical beast. If she were the old self, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the overlord of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, would have been nothing more than an insignificant insect to be crushed effortlessly, not worth her attention.
Well, despite the high expectations, the current self was just a soul without a body. Talking about the past glory only made her seem stubborn.
Yao Chen shrugged, smiling helplessly, and stopped thinking about other matters. She squatted down and gently stroked the little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's body. White flames ignited from her right hand, and the smile on Xiao Yan's face, which wasn't particularly handsome to begin with, became mesmerizing and unparalleled.
"Well then, little one, be good and listen. Big sister is here to help you get better~"
As Yao Chen treated the little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King inside the cave, the large Purple Crystal Winged Lion King paced nervously outside.
It wasn't that it doubted Xiao Yan's skills. The previous treatments had already proven Xiao Yan to be an excellent alchemist, something the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had confirmed.
However, no matter how confident it was in Xiao Yan, it was still its son being treated, and it couldn't help but worry. It inwardly scolded itself for being too hasty.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King raised its eyebrows, looking toward a particular direction. Its beastly pupils narrowed slightly as it watched the rapidly approaching shadow.
In just a few breaths, the figure arrived before the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
It was a woman—exquisitely beautiful, with a noble and elegant aura. She held a green sword and had battle wings formed from Dou Qi behind her. She looked calmly at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King before her.
A three-star Dou Huang.
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King frowned deeply, immediately assessing the woman's strength.
At the same time, it realized that the newcomer was not friendly.
