Chapter 81

If he hadn't guessed wrong, this should be that Companion Purple Crystal Source inside.

This thing only has an extremely small chance of being produced together with the offspring when a sixth-rank Purple Crystal Winged Lion King gives birth.

Moreover, because it stays in the lion king's belly for an extremely long time, the pure energy it contains can be quite impressive.

When the offspring grows into a fourth-rank magical beast, devouring it will directly turn it into a fifth-rank magical beast.

And the purple fire within its body after devouring will also be even more overbearing than that of other Purple Crystal Winged Lions that have not devoured the Companion Purple Crystal Source!

This Companion Purple Crystal Source can raise a magical beast from just entering fourth rank to fifth rank; in human terms, it is equivalent to directly pulling a one-star Fighter Spirit up to the Fighter King realm.

Therefore, its preciousness can be imagined.

Extending his palm, as soon as he touched the sphere, Lin Feng felt a burning sensation, making him suck in a breath of cold air and hastily pull back.

However, being burned also brought Lin Feng back to his senses, knowing he must quickly grab the Companion Purple Crystal Source.

Taking out the Purple Spirit Stone he had casually obtained earlier, only this thing can break open this spherical shield.

Of course, if you are strong enough, you can also break it by force.

However, Lin Feng obviously cannot.

Gripping the Purple Spirit Stone tightly, Lin Feng suddenly realized he had not yet taken a bottle to contain it.

After taking out a jade bottle, he then fiercely struck the purple sphere with it.

"Crack—"

The Purple Spirit Stone struck the sphere; after a brief silence, a crack appeared on its surface.

Instantly, the crack spread, and then with a bang, it shattered open a hole.

As soon as the Companion Purple Crystal Source's shield shattered, purple liquid began to flow out from within.

And the quick-witted Lin Feng swiftly extended the jade bottle, steadily receiving the Companion Source inside.

Although the Companion Purple Crystal Source's exterior is scorching hot, Lin Feng however discovered.

Yet the liquid inside was unexpectedly somewhat cool.

Just as he was halfway through receiving it, Lin Feng suddenly felt the Little Color on his arm vanish.

Then it floated up in the air, its fiery gaze fixed on the purple liquid before him.

"Xiao Cai, you little rascal, don't act recklessly; I'll give you something to eat later. Right now I'm harvesting the companion source, and if it spills it'll be wasted."

Seeing the Sky‑devouring Python, Lin Feng feared it would try to eat it and hurriedly shouted in a low voice.

"Eek~"

Hearing Lin Feng's shout, Xiao Cai cooed in a petulant way.

Its tiny body kept circling around the purple sphere.

Although the sphere appeared rather large, the purple liquid it contained could fill only six small jade bottles for Lin Feng.

Seeing that no more purple liquid was flowing from the sphere, Lin Feng quickly secured the companion source and placed a dozen or so jade bottles of fourth‑grade elixirs on the ground.

Consider these a small compensation for the little amethyst‑winged lion.

After all, having lost its companion amethyst source, the little amethyst‑winged lion's growth will inevitably be much slower.

With the energy from these pills, it can at least gain a few stars when it reaches the fourth stage.

Boom!

Just as Lin Feng set the pills down, a cracking sound of something breaking came from behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Xiao Cai having violently broken the connection between the sphere and the amethyst Shi Tai.

At that moment, it was gleefully wrapping its slender body tightly around the sphere, tumbling through the air.

"Damn, Xiao Cai, why did you take this thing off?"

Seeing the situation, Lin Feng hurriedly ran up.

Grasping the floating sphere and peering into the opening, he instantly understood the cause.

Although the purple liquid had just stopped flowing, some residue remained, so it's no wonder Xiao Cai wanted it.

"I'll hold onto it for you first; once the matter is settled, I'll give it back."

After speaking, Lin Feng directly pulled Xiao Cai down from above, placed her in his arms, and then stored the sphere inside his absorption ring.

He looked around, saw nothing missed, and then sprinted toward the cave entrance...

Meanwhile, the little amethyst‑winged lion also awoke.

Just as it tried to rise, it found that its body could not muster any strength.

It immediately thought of using its roar to attract its mother's attention, hoping she would intercept the thief of the companion source.

Then, in despair, it discovered that its throat seemed to have a problem as well; even the slightest sound could not be produced.

These successive woes nearly drove the little amethyst‑winged lion to tears.

Lin Feng sprinted for half a breath, saw a light ahead, and recalled that two third‑stage demons still lingered at the entrance.

He then began to stir his internal battle‑qi, and a pair of purple wings slowly manifested behind him.

Seeing the cave mouth only about ten meters away, Lin Feng thrust his legs powerfully.

As his body left the ground, his legs quickly bent and his arms wrapped around his shins.

In the instant he cleared the entrance, the purple wings behind him suddenly became whole.

Then, with the two third‑stage demons at the entrance staring dumbfounded, he flew upward.

"Yun Yun, go."

Soaring into the sky, Lin Feng shouted toward Yun Yun, who was far away with the amethyst‑winged lion king.

"Battle‑qi wing transformation? No, it's aerial combat technique!"

Yun Yun, upon seeing the twin purple wings, was first startled.

But considering Lin Feng's current strength, she realized he couldn't produce battle‑qi wings, and recalled the aerial combat technique, instantly understanding.

Then her pretty face quickly turned somewhat sour.

That guy, when he arrived, kept hugging her tightly and looked scared.

Now it seems that bastard was clearly taking advantage of her on purpose.

"Despicable humans, you actually drove the lion away from its mountain."

Seeing Lin Feng fly out of its own cave, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King instantly realized it had fallen into the two's scheme, opened its massive mouth like a blood‑filled basin, let out a thunderous lion's roar, and shattered several nearby mountain ranges.

"Damn."

From afar, Lin Feng also felt a strong wave of Qi rushing toward him.

His whole body felt as if it fell into a vortex, being blown to spin several times in the air, not knowing how far he had been pushed back before finally stabilizing.

"Dare to steal from my home, then leave your life behind!"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, of course, had no intention of letting Lin Feng go; it opened its huge mouth, and a torrent of scorching purple flame spewed out.

The extreme heat caused the air where the purple flame passed to warp slightly.

"Wind Push Force!"

Seeing Lin Feng in trouble, a flash of azure wing behind Yun Yun appeared in front of him.

With that crisp, light sound, a surge of raging cyan wind rolled out before her, whistling immediately and deflecting the massive purple flame.

"Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, you should go check on your son; his condition seems not very good."

Seeing the purple flame blocked, Lin Feng let out a big sigh of relief and shouted loudly at the violet light sphere, using his Dou Qi.

"What! Bastard, if anything happens to my son, I want you two to be buried with him!"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared, instantly dispersing the violet light curtain, and without caring about the two, hurried off to find its son.

And when Lin Feng saw the former being led away, he quickly grabbed Yun Yun from behind, dispelled the purple wing, and whispered in her ear, "Retreat quickly."

"Don't you have wings?"

Sensing the man's aura behind her, Yun Yun helplessly gave Lin Feng, whose skin was thick as a mask, a white look, then flew off into the distance.

"Hehe, my speed... how could it compare to yours?"

Lying on her supple back, Lin Feng wrapped both hands tightly around her waist and laughed.

Hearing this, Yun Yun gave Lin Feng a glare, moving like a meteor chasing the moon, constantly flying away beyond the Magic Beast Mountain Range...

After a while, once they had left the deep mountain, they found a secluded spot and slowly descended.

"Swish."

Just after landing, Yun Yun's Dou Qi leaked slightly, hurling Lin Feng several meters away onto the ground.

"You guy, actually dare..."

She let out a coquettish shout, her cheeks flushed scarlet, thinking of the bastard she had faced all the way.

She immediately drew the long sword from her willow‑like waist and pointed it at Lin Feng.

"Yun Yun, don't act rashly; in this world I'm the only surviving seed of my family, you can't do this, and besides, who... who made you so beautiful? If you were a bit uglier, I definitely wouldn't have done this."

Lin Feng quickly raised both hands to plead.

Hearing that, Yun Yun's already scarlet cheeks reddened further, and she shivered with a mix of shame and anger, saying, "So by your words, is it still my fault then?"

As she spoke, the long sword in her hand flicked out a sword bloom, then she sheathed it.

Turning her delicate body, Yun Yun silently blamed the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in her heart.

If that beast hadn't sealed her before, none of these troubles would have arisen.

During that earlier period, every morning she woke up in his arms.

This has led her now to seem accustomed to Lin Feng's embrace.

Whenever he holds her, she can't push him away.

And that time of healing, which made her, experiencing this for the first time, unable to forget...

"Sigh~"

After pondering for a long while, Yun Yun let out a light sigh and said, "Did you get the Purple Spirit Crystal?"

"Oh, it's here."

Lin Feng retrieved the Purple Spirit Crystal from his ring and tossed it over.

Taking the Purple Spirit Crystal, Yun Yun looked into Lin Feng's jet‑black eyes, recalling their earlier ambiguous healing; her jade hand lightly covered the healed wound, and she involuntarily invited, "Do you want... to return to Yun Lan Sect with me?"

"Forget it, I still have many things to handle now, really."

Lin Feng currently has so many matters pressing on him, so it's impossible to go to Yun Lan Sect with Yun Yun, and he politely declined.

Moreover, if he went to Yun Lan Sect, when Xiao Yan arrives to fulfill the three‑year pact, he might sense the presence of the Azure Lotus Earthfire.

That would cause a big trouble.

"Alright, since you don't want to go, I won't force you. Your Dou Qi technique seems to be Mysterious Tier advanced, I can't produce something higher, but your body method appears only Mysterious Tier low; I happen to have an extra Mysterious Tier intermediate body method scroll, you can take it."

Seeing Lin Feng refuse, a hint of disappointment flashed in Yun Yun's beautiful eyes, and she immediately took out a scroll, flicked it with her jade finger, and sent it toward Lin Feng.
