What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH) - Chapter 97: Unwelcome Visitors

A month ago, Xiao Yan accidentally stumbled upon the cave of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Standing at the entrance, he felt the lingering fierce aura inside and decided to stay far away from it.

However, just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, he coincidentally ran into the returning Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Both Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, including the ring, were surprised and immediately began to think of ways to escape from this sixth-rank Magical Beast.

But what happened next was beyond their expectations. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King did not immediately attack Xiao Yan, a tiny human standing in front of its lair. Instead, it first asked why Xiao Yan was wandering around its territory, and Xiao Yan truthfully explained that he was just passing by.

During their conversation, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King learned that Xiao Yan was studying alchemy and, coupled with Xiao Yan’s fearless behavior earlier, it invited him into its lair to help with its weak son. With Yao Chen’s assistance, they managed to temporarily alleviate the son’s weakness.

Since then, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King did not use its power to force Xiao Yan but instead reached an agreement with him. It hoped that Xiao Yan would frequently come to help its son cope with weakness during his time in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and it promised to provide compensation.

This scene left Xiao Yan in awe, and he couldn’t help but recall the behavior of Mu Li and his group at the secret room entrance.

Though Magical Beasts were expected to be ruthless in their natural instincts, this sixth-rank Magical Beast did not oppress him with its strength. Instead, it treated him as an equal partner and formed an agreement.

On the other hand, Mu Li and his group, who were all humans, could not communicate rationally and were even less reasonable than the Magical Beasts.

It was truly lamentable…

Back to the present, when the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King saw Xiao Yan, its tone was filled with joy, and it hurriedly urged, “Xiao Yan! Come and take a look! My son is in trouble again!”

Xiao Yan took two steps forward and went past the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King to approach the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion lying on the ground. The lion’s face showed some pain and helplessly whimpered.

“What’s going on? He should have almost recovered after the treatment the other day. Why did his condition worsen again?” Xiao Yan furrowed his brows, puzzled.

At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly noticed some purple liquid residue at the corner of the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion’s mouth. On the other side, the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion seemed somewhat guilty because of Xiao Yan’s low murmuring, which made Xiao Yan narrow his eyes and ask.

“May I ask if you gave something to your son without my knowledge?”

“That… I just thought that my son was almost healed a few days ago, so I tried to let him absorb some companion Purple Spirit Crystal. As a result, this happened this morning…”

A dignified sixth-rank Magical Beast now appeared extremely humble in front of a human who was not even a Dou Master. This scene would leave others stunned.

“Haha…” Xiao Yan sighed deeply, looking at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. “I understand that you hope your son can grow quickly to a level where he can protect himself in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. However, you shouldn’t be in such a hurry. That thing is not something your son can handle right now, right?”

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, as the ruler of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, listened quietly to Xiao Yan’s reprimand. It was well aware that its son couldn’t handle the violent energy of the companion Purple Spirit Crystal at the moment. It was just that after Xiao Yan had healed its son, who had been weak since birth, it couldn’t help but become arrogant. It thought that its son could withstand the energy of the companion Purple Spirit Crystal. As a result, the current situation occurred.

Xiao Yan was right in reproaching it for its impatience.

(Xiao Yan, leave the body to me. Although you’ve already refined third-grade pills, your soul’s ability is still not enough to deal with this situation.)

Yao Chen spoke up from inside the ring, and Xiao Yan nodded lightly. He then slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, Xiao Yan’s black pupils were replaced with ruby-like colors. His black hair had grown to his shoulders, and though his appearance hadn’t changed, a captivating charm emanated from him.

Taking complete control of Xiao Yan’s body, Yao Chen raised her hand and slowly clenched her palm. She couldn’t help but marvel at Xiao Yan’s physical body once more.

Indeed, after truly experiencing Xiao Yan’s body, Yao Chen deeply felt how inadequate her previous body was. In terms of physical strength, the current Xiao Yan was naturally incomparable to her past self. Although he couldn’t surpass her in terms of physical strength, using his body was so comfortable, several times better than her original one.

With Xiao Yan’s physique, coupled with the enhanced Dou Qi level of a peak Dou Master, even if an advanced Dou Ling came, Yao Chen was not worried at all. This body’s foundation was simply incredible, making Yao Chen wonder if Xiao Yan had eaten some precious heavenly materials or treasures to cultivate such a physique. Could this type of physique be achieved through simple training?

Yao Chen couldn’t help but sigh and shook her head slightly as she glanced lightly at the nearby Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

“I’m going to save your son now. You’re too big to stay here, it’s getting in the way. Wait outside.”

“Uh… alright.”

Hearing Yao Chen’s straightforward words, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King obediently responded, then turned around and walked slowly out of the cave, murmuring to itself.

Why did Xiao Yan look like a different person every time he saved his son?

If ordinary Xiao Yan was humble, polite, and used a friendly attitude to evoke goodwill from others, the current Xiao Yan was extremely arrogant and casual. However, because of the unparalleled charm exuding from him, people couldn’t even feel any resentment towards his bad attitude; they just accepted everything he did as a matter of course.

It was truly peculiar…

Watching the departing Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Yao Chen couldn’t help but snort disdainfully. Even though she had fallen from her previous glory, her pride wouldn’t allow her to grovel before a mere sixth-rank Magical Beast. In her eyes, the ruler of the Magical Beast Mountain Range was nothing more than a small bug that she could easily crush. She wouldn’t bother paying it any attention.

Well… she might say that, but no matter how high her standards were, she was now just a soul without even a body. It would be hypocritical to bring up her past glory.

Yao Chen shrugged lightly, smiled helplessly, and stopped thinking about other matters. She squatted down, gently caressing the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion’s body. A faint pale flame ignited from her right hand, and the smile on her lips made Xiao Yan’s originally not-so-handsome face appear stunning.

“Alright, little one, be obedient. Sister is going to help you get better~”

As Yao Chen treated the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion inside the cave, the older Purple Crystal Winged Lion outside the cave anxiously paced back and forth.

It wasn’t that it doubted Xiao Yan’s skills; the previous treatments had already proven that Xiao Yan was a remarkably talented alchemist, which the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had confirmed.

However, its son was the one receiving treatment, and it was impossible not to worry, no matter how certain it was of Xiao Yan’s abilities. It also scolded itself for being too impatient.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King raised an eyebrow and looked in a certain direction. The young lion squinted its eyes and stared at the rapidly approaching figure.

In just a few breaths, the figure arrived in front of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

It was a woman with an exquisite appearance, a noble and elegant temperament, wielding a green longsword, and with fighting qi wings condensing behind her back. She calmly gazed at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

A Three-Star Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level)…

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King furrowed its brow tightly and immediately identified the woman’s strength.

At the same time, it sensed that she was not coming with good intentions.
