Chapter 79: Lifting the Seal

Having made the plan, Lin Feng looked at Yun Yun beside him and said, "Since there's nothing else, let's rest first."

"... Mm."

Gazing at the lone stone bed in the cave, Yun Yun's pretty face flushed slightly as she nodded.

She then hurried onto the bed, once again piling clothes into a line, repeatedly warning Lin Feng not to cross it.

Although last night, it was her own poor sleeping posture that caused her to cross the line...

Over the next few days, Lin Feng hunted magic beasts outside each day and refined pills.

He would return at mealtime or in the evening.

Yun Yun, too, seemed to have adapted to this life.

Whenever Lin Feng returned, she would habitually greet him at the cave entrance and then take whatever he carried.

"Yun Yun, come look, this time I actually hunted meat with extraordinarily fresh flavor..."

That morning, Lin Feng carried several pieces of tender meat, speaking as he walked into the cave, but when he saw Yun Yun on the stone bed, different from usual, his tone gradually sank.

At that moment, inside the cave, Yun Yun sat cross-legged on the stone bed, a strange sword laid flat across her legs.

Today she had changed into a set of snow-white plain robes, and the originally somewhat lazy phoenix hair ornament on her head was gathered again, exuding a faint nobility.

Her beautiful cheeks were serene and elegant; the faint fragility of the past few days had completely vanished.

Seeing this, Lin Feng let out a soft breath and asked quietly, "You broke the seal?"

"Mm."

Yun Yun gave a faint nod.

Her voice remained as clear as before, yet this time it carried a hint of coldness and flatness, like a conversation between strangers.

Upon seeing Lin Feng return, she stirred slightly, and when she reappeared, she was already beside him.

"Let's go; outside, I'll temporarily boost your strength."

Having spoken, she turned first and walked toward the cave mouth, her elegant lotus steps beautiful and captivating.

"Sigh, forget it; she's a Battle Emperor, I'm only a Battle Master—perhaps success is utterly impossible."

Hearing this tone, utterly different from yesterday's, Lin Feng lifted his gaze to the beauty's back, gave a wry smile, and shook his head.

He gathered his things and immediately followed after her.

"Wear this crystal on your body; as long as you approach the Purple Spirit Crystal, it will heat up, and you can locate it by the temperature."

At the cave mouth, Yun Yun took a small diamond-shaped crystal from the emerald storage ring on her finger and handed it to Lin Feng.

"Good."

At the same time, Lin Feng took the diamond-shaped crystal and hung it around his neck.

Thinking that he might soon obtain the accompanying purple crystal source containing a sixth-tier Beast Fire, Lin Feng couldn't help but grin.

Next, Yun Yun lifted her beautiful eyes and said flatly, "I will grant you the strength of a Seven-Star Battle Master for a short time, and as I am wind-attributed, I can greatly increase your speed; if you encounter magic beasts blocking the way, try not to fight them, lest the battle's sound waves attract more magic beasts, after which you might..."

Having said that, Yun Yun suddenly fell silent, tilted her head slightly, and stared at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng raised his brows slightly and then said, "Rest assured, I naturally know that."

Seeing Lin Feng's somewhat delighted expression, Yun Yun raised her eyebrows and glanced angrily at the youth not far away.

"Hmph~"

With a coquettish hum, she instantly flashed to Lin Feng's side and whispered, "Ready?"

"Come on."

Hearing that, Lin Feng quickly sat properly.

Yun Yun's jade hand slowly extended and then lightly pressed against Lin Feng's back.

She flicked her finger, and a surging battle-qi energy burst forth and poured in.

This forcibly intruding battle-qi did not riot due to the unfamiliar body.

Under the control of her single thought, they flowed extremely gently through Lin Feng's meridians.

The flow of this mighty battle-qi quickly filled Lin Feng's body with an unprecedented sense of abundant power.

He twisted his body slightly, and his bones crackled like they were being reborn, nonstop.

He clenched his fists tightly, and Lin Feng's face also showed a hint of curiosity.

This Yun Yun actually managed to seal a thread of battle-qi inside his body.

Thus, as long as she does not forcibly pour in energy he cannot bear,

after use, it will not cause side effects like the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Changes.

However, he could sense that after this infusion, the battle-qi could remain in his body only for a short time.

All in all, Lin Feng felt this thing was far more useless than the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Changes.

After all, if you already have a strong expert by your side, you basically wouldn't need these secret arts.

If you lack a strong expert nearby, a single person cannot execute it, which amounts to having none...

He rose and casually moved his feet, discovering that his body felt much lighter as well.

Obviously, this should be the effect of the wind-attributed battle-qi within him.

No wonder those cultivators who practice wind-attributed techniques are so swift.

"This battle-qi is enough for you to use for two hours; within that time you must retrieve the Purple Spirit Crystal from the den of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King."

She added softly, "I will try to hold it off, but you also need to hurry; that beast's intelligence is not inferior to humans, and if it notices anything, you may hardly get another chance."

"Don't worry, no problem."

Lin Feng gave a slight smile and then spread his arms.

"Mm."

Yun Yun nodded slightly, her body trembled faintly, and a pair of azure energy wings unfolded slowly from her back.

However, when she raised her head to look at Lin Feng's action, she was momentarily stunned.

The previous icy moment was shattered, her pretty face quickly flushed with a hint of crimson, and she angrily said, 'What are you doing?'

Lin Feng, who was making a hugging gesture, heard Yun Yun's question and involuntarily widened his eyes, looking extremely shocked as he said with an utterly innocent expression, 'At this distance, you're not going to make me run there myself, are you? If I encounter a fourth- or fifth-rank magic beast along the way, I might die halfway.'

Her long eyelashes twitched violently, and after a moment, Yun Yun had no choice but to take a deep breath and nod helplessly.

Seeing her nod, Lin Feng curled the corner of his mouth, slowly stepped forward, and once again embraced this noble Sect Leader of the Yun Lan Sect in his arms.

'Don't move around, or I'll throw you down!'

While fully conscious and having recovered all her strength, she was once again embraced by the boy in front of her; Yun Yun's delicate body trembled slightly as she drew in a breath, forcibly suppressing her racing heart, and she spoke a faint threat.

Nodding with a smile, Lin Feng muttered in a low voice, 'Every night, I don't know who has such a terrible sleeping posture, but they always use me as a bolster.'

Hearing that, Yun Yun thought of how she always wakes up lying on top of him each morning, and her pretty cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly.

Feigning not to hear his muttering, she flicked her wings lightly behind her, and the two quickly rose off the ground.

Owing to the incredible speed of a Fighting Emperor, in the blink of an eye they had flown up to high altitude.

Just as they rose into the high sky, Lin Feng seemed to be frightened.

Swiftly like an octopus, he wrapped his arms around Yun Yun.

The two instantly pressed tightly together.

This sudden action instantly made Yun Yun's body go limp.

The Qi circulating within her also stalled for a moment.

The state of flight could no longer be maintained.

Having lost lift, the two quickly fell from high altitude to a point less than a hundred meters above the ground.

'Whoa, Yun Yun, watch your flight, watch your flight!'

Seeing this situation, Lin Feng also felt he had gone too far, and hurriedly leaned close to her ear to shout a reminder.

'Whoosh~'

Jolted awake, Yun Yun saw the ground rapidly approaching below and hurriedly controlled her body to surge back upward.

At the same time, her pretty face turned somewhat pale from anger at Lin Feng's shameless move just moments before.

How long has it been? This guy has already thrown his own words to the heavens, his cheek truly thick to the extreme.

All the while keeping her pretty face cold, Yun Yun pushed her speed to the limit.

Above the high sky, each flash of azure light propelled the silhouette forward several hundred meters.

A streak of azure light flashed across the horizon and then silently landed upon a disordered pile of stones.

After landing, Lin Feng dared not move his hands or feet, and hastily released his hold on Yun Yun.

Afterward, his gaze swept over a massive mountain peak not far away, where at its summit a large cave entrance lay half-hidden among the branches.

'Is that the lair of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King?'

Standing behind the rock, Lin Feng carefully directed his gaze toward the mountaintop and whispered his question.

'Mm.'

Yun Yun gave a slight nod, her gaze slowly sweeping over the vicinity of the cave, her brows faintly furrowed as she said, 'The defenses around here have become much stricter; that fellow must have heightened his vigilance as well.'

'I will try to kill or at least wound the high-ranking magic beasts at the cave entrance later, while you pick the best moment to sneak silently into the lair.'

She turned her head and instructed.

'Okay.'

Lin Feng nodded to indicate he understood.

Seeing that all arrangements were in order, Yun Yun also felt somewhat relieved.

As she took flight, she turned her head and softly said to Lin Feng, 'You... be careful, don't get into trouble.'

Lin Feng gave a slight smile and said, 'You also be careful; although I like seeing you weak and frail when you're sealed, I still hope you stay safe.'

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Yun Yun instantly recalled the scene of him applying medicine to her.

Her beautiful eyes flashed at him, she shook her wings behind her, and her graceful figure lightly leapt up into the high sky.

Then, like lightning, she shot toward the huge cave entrance.

Yun Yun's figure was not concealed at all.

Thus, when she entered the vicinity within a few hundred meters of the cave, waves of beastly roars echoed across the mountain peaks.

She clenched her jade hand, and a strange green long sword appeared in her palm.

Yun Yun's form turned into a streak of azure light, and in an instant she dove into the dense forest surrounding the cave.

Immediately, waves of mournful beastly roars burst forth.

Numerous magic beasts, from near the cave, fled in panic.

In the hands of a Fighting Emperor, these ferocious magic beasts had no chance to show any of their ferocity.

'Human woman! How dare you show up again?! Today I will take your life to avenge my broken horn!'

While Yun Yun was slaughtering the guarding magic beasts, within the huge lair the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's furious roar suddenly burst forth across the horizon.

Everyone, I'm very sorry, chapter seventy-six probably won't be out for a short while; I'll need a few days.

Moreover, the matter of healing injuries is likely to be messed up beyond recognition.
