38: Smell her face

After a noisy night, Yun Yun only woke up the next day when the sun was high in the sky.

As for Qing Lin, she was already used to waking up early.

"The Seal of the Amethyst Winged Lion King! I was still careless. If he hadn't stepped in, I'm afraid it would have been more bad than good!"

Yun Yun gently pulled open her clothes, glanced at the strange purple mark on her chest, and couldn't help but sigh. Then, she began to size up Qing Lin and the Xiao Yi Xian.

The appearances of both were, without a doubt, flawless, only their temperaments differed slightly.

Having already sensed Xiao Lei's Dou Huang cultivation last night, Yun Yun wasn't surprised that he had two peerless beauties by his side.

"Little girl, where is your Young Master?"

Yun Yun hadn't seen Xiao Lei since she woke up. Although thinking of Xiao Lei made her recall last night's events and feel inexplicably ashamed and angry, she still wanted to see her savior.

At least she should know his name first!

"Young Master didn't come back last night, and Qing Lin is very worried! Unfortunately, Qing Lin's cultivation is too low, and Young Master won't let me go out rashly!"

It had been some time since Xiao Lei and his group arrived at the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Xiao Lei had already helped Qing Lin with her Physique Awakening, mainly because her Physique had no drawbacks.

However, Xiao Lei's strength was limited at the time, and the situation in this core area was quite chaotic, so Xiao Lei didn't dare to act recklessly. He only prepared a third-tier Demonic Beast for her, and in such a short time, Qing Lin had only just broken through to Dou Practitioner.

Yun Yun didn't pay attention to Qing Lin's words, only considering Qing Lin a vase kept by Xiao Lei.

However, she still couldn't help but secretly grumble a little about Xiao Lei in her heart. After all, bringing someone without cultivation to the core area of the Magical Beast Mountain Range was truly unsafe.

"Then... can you tell me what your Young Master is called?"

It was embarrassing to say, but after all the chaos last night, everyone tacitly remained silent. Even now, Yun Yun didn't know the names of the people who had saved her.

"Young Master's real name is Xiao Lei. Big Sister can just call him by his name! Young Master is very kind and doesn't care much about such things."

Every word from the little girl was filled with admiration for Xiao Lei, which made Yun Yun secretly marvel.

"Oh, right, I'm Qing Lin, and that's Big Sister Xiao Yi Xian. We are both traveling with Young Master, but our current strength is relatively weak! We can't help Young Master much yet."

Since learning about her Physique, Qing Lin had become much more confident and cheerful.

Hearing Qing Lin say this, Yun Yun quickly examined the Xiao Yi Xian as well.

"Great Dou Master, at this age!"

After a brief investigation, Yun Yun was shocked. Although she didn't know the Xiao Yi Xian's exact age, Yun Yun estimated she wasn't much older than Nalan Yanran, and what was Nalan Yanran's cultivation now?

Yun Yun then checked Qing Lin's cultivation, and after discovering she had just broken through to Dou Practitioner, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Scaring herself!

Where could there be so many Geniuses!

"Miss Qing Lin, I hear you call Young Master Xiao Lei 'Young Master.' Are you his maid?"

Curious about Xiao Lei, Yun Yun became interested in the relationship between the two girls and Xiao Lei, and couldn't help but gossip.

Qing Lin didn't think much and replied directly.

"Yes, Young Master gives me one hundred gold coins a month! And he even advanced fifty gold coins. Qing Lin has never received so much pay!"

As she spoke, the girl's face was filled with contented happiness, but Yun Yun was stunned.

One hundred gold coins? One hundred gold coins!

One hundred gold coins to trick such a beautiful little girl into being a maid!

Xiao Lei's image, which was originally somewhat imposing in Yun Yun's mind, instantly collapsed.

Such a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who would have thought! He actually tricked a little girl!

"One hundred gold coins? He only gave you one hundred gold coins a month, and you followed him? What about her!"

Yun Yun was completely stunned. She immediately looked at the Xiao Yi Xian, thinking, 'Surely this one isn't also for one hundred gold coins!'

"That's right! Qing Lin follows Young Master not for money! Young Master insisted on giving it to me; I originally only asked for a meal!"

"As for Big Sister Xiao Yi Xian's matter, Qing Lin can't say. You should ask Big Sister Xiao Yi Xian yourself!"

As Qing Lin's words fell, without waiting for Yun Yun to ask, the Xiao Yi Xian exhaled a breath of turbid Qi, exiting her Cultivation state.

"Xiao Lei didn't promise me any gold coins. I followed him voluntarily. You can understand it as free."

The Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were calm. She initially followed Xiao Lei because he gave her hope, hope of solving her Calamity Poison Body. Later, they gradually interacted and became friends.

This was rare for the Xiao Yi Xian, as from the day she awakened her Calamity Poison Body, it was destined that she would face others' alienation in the future.

Having a friend was good, and following Xiao Lei was indeed not bad at all.

However, Yun Yun knew none of this.

Absurd, too absurd!

One for one hundred gold coins, and the other simply for free!

However, just as Yun Yun's brain was crashing over this, a low thud of footsteps came from the entrance.

"Young Master is back?"

The three immediately looked towards the entrance, only to see the vine-covered cave entrance suddenly flung open, revealing Xiao Lei's handsome face.

The Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were already used to this, especially the Xiao Yi Xian. When she was working as a doctor, Xiao Lei's appearance and Alchemy skills had allowed him to cut in line.

But Yun Yun was different. The two times she had seen Xiao Lei, once she was hit by a Seal and unconscious, and the other was at night. She had no idea Xiao Lei was so handsome.

And he had a handsome, youthful look, unlike some middle-aged man.

At this moment, Xiao Lei carried a giant python on one shoulder and held a dark long saber in the other hand, the impact directly hitting Yun Yun's face.

Thump, thump, thump!

A fierce heartbeat. Yun Yun had never felt her heartbeat so clearly before. Uh... perhaps in her dream last night, but Yun Yun had forgotten.

At this moment, Yun Yun couldn't help but think of Qing Lin and the Xiao Yi Xian. If she hadn't become the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, she might have wanted to travel the continent with Xiao Lei.

After all, he was both a Dou Huang and incredibly handsome... "Yo, you're up. How are your injuries!"

Xiao Lei saw Yun Yun and spoke naturally, without awkwardness.

Last night's events?

What events? Xiao Lei didn't know!

"I'm willing!"

??

Xiao Lei was confused. Willing for what? Did I say anything!

"Cough, cough, what's that behind you?"

Realizing she had said the wrong thing, Yun Yun quickly tried to salvage the situation and change the topic. However, she didn't realize it until she changed it, and then Yun Yun was stunned again.

"This is a fifth-tier Demonic Beast — the Mystic Ice Python!"

Among fifth-tier Demonic Beasts, there were also distinctions. The Mystic Ice Python on Xiao Lei's body had excellent Bloodline and could become a sixth-tier Demonic Beast through normal Cultivation, at which point it would be called a Mystic Ice Flood Dragon.

Such Demonic Beasts usually had stronger combat power than other Demonic Beasts of the same tier.

Moreover, the one on Xiao Lei's back seemed to be alive!

"Oh, I think so! I don't know much about them. I saw it guarding a high-grade poisonous herb, so I beat it up!"

Xiao Lei's foundation was ultimately too poor. Medicinal herbs were fine; he had the knowledge that came with copying Alchemy, but when it came to Demonic Beasts, he was completely clueless.

However, Xiao Lei didn't care. He possessed the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Catching a fifth-tier snake-type Demonic Beast, as long as it wasn't some Heaven-Defying Bloodline, what obstacles could there be?

"Xiao Yi Xian, take this medicinal herb. Stay here for the next few days to digest it!"

Saying that, Xiao Lei took out a poisonous herb, which he had snatched from the Mystic Ice Python, and handed it directly to the Xiao Yi Xian.

"Nine-Leaf Hook-Kiss!"

As a Dou Huang, Yun Yun's knowledge was very extensive, and she immediately recognized the poisonous herb in Xiao Lei's hand.

Although this thing was a poisonous herb, it was equally valuable, no less than the value of an ordinary fifth-grade Medicinal Pill, and Xiao Lei gave it away just like that.

Xiao Lei's idea was simple: this thing wasn't very useful to him, a Dou Huang. It was better to give it to the Xiao Yi Xian first. Her strength was too low, and he would have to constantly watch out for her to prevent anything from happening, which was too troublesome.

"This is a highly toxic poisonous herb. Even an ordinary Dou Wang might perish if they consumed it directly. You can't eat it!"

Yun Yun quickly shouted loudly, but the Xiao Yi Xian didn't pay attention. She took the poisonous herb, consumed it, and then ran to the side to absorb it.

"Qing Lin, this little snake can be your pet!"

Hearing this, Yun Yun was completely dumbfounded again. A fifth-tier Demonic Beast as a pet? Even if you're willing, it wouldn't be!

One should know that even the Cloud Mist Sect didn't have any fifth-tier Demonic Beasts as guardian Demonic Beasts!

Xiao Lei didn't know Yun Yun's shock. He simply put down the Mystic Ice Python, and it didn't struggle at all, quickly shrinking into the form of a small snake and slithering towards Qing Lin.

"Be careful, this is a fifth-tier Peak Demonic Beast!"
