Chapter 157: Yun Yun, Return to the Xiao Family

As the Amethyst Winged Lion King recovered, Yun Yun, who was unconscious, finally had a reaction.

With a soft groan, her tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

When she opened her eyes, she looked around a little dazedly, and the first thing that caught her eye was the huge body of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

This startled her and, as she was about to get up, she discovered that her whole body was numb.

After struggling a bit, Yun Yun slowly closed her eyes and opened them a moment later, clenching her white teeth, as she whispered to herself, 'Damn it, my Dou Qi is sealed! However, I don't know why my wounds have recovered, but I can feel a strong medicinal power healing my body.'

Right after saying this, she saw Xiao Ming and the others.

Xiao Ming and the others had naturally noticed Yun Yun's awakening, they just hadn't said anything, so Yun Yun, who was lying down, didn't notice them.

Of course, there was also the reason that she had been attracted to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The moment she saw Xiao Ming, Yun Yun understood why there was a medicinal force in her body.

Xiao Ming was a sixth-tier Alchemist and must have sixth-tier pills on him, in conclusion, she had been saved by Xiao Ming.

She knew how serious her injuries were, and if it wasn't for Xiao Ming, she probably wouldn't have seen the next day's sun.

Thinking about this, Yun Yun bowed her head and looked at the handsome figure of Xiao Ming not far away, her gaze was filled with gratitude as she softly said, "Yun Yun would like to thank Master Xiao Ming for helping me this time."

Hearing Yun Yun's words, Xiao Ming approached her and squatted down in front of her.

"No need to be polite, Sect Leader Yun, this is just a chance encounter, in the end, it's still your good fortune, don't you think so?".

Yun Yun naturally did not take his words seriously, she continued to say gratefully, "Master Xiao Ming is joking, this time you saved my life, how could I not take it seriously?".

Xiao Ming chuckled lightly and did not continue on this topic, after all, this time he was saving Yun Yun so that she would owe him a favor.

Just being polite for a moment or two was enough.

"Sect Leader Yun, this time you fought against the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and your five most vital internal organs were severely injured, at the same time, your Dou Qi was also sealed, although I saved you with a sixth-tier pill, it will still take you a few days to fully recover, so, if I may be so bold, I will keep you by my side for these few days."

"Thank you, Master, I will be in your care for a while." Yun Yun had no problem to keep saying words of thanks, although it was useless to keep repeating them, it was necessary to prove it with practical actions.

Xiao Ming nodded his head, then stood up and asked the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had opened his eyes during the conversation between the two earlier.

"How is your recovery, can you fly?"

"The medicinal effects of your pill are very strong; flying is naturally not a problem."

Xiao Ming revealed a smile at its words, "Well then, prepare to take us from here and head to the outskirts of the Magic Beast Mountain Range."

"Should we take that woman with us?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King could let Xiao Ming use it as a mount, but it could not tolerate the idea of Yun Yun riding it.

'If it wasn't because this woman came to the Magic Beast Mountain Range for no reason to look for trouble, how would I have ended up in this situation?'

In response, Xiao Ming just looked at it indifferently and said nothing.

However, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was speechless at this look, as it remembered that Xiao Ming was an existence who had beaten it to the ground when he was a Dou King, and if it complained again, even if the other party didn't kill it, it would be beaten half dead.

Just like it did in the past, it loved to teach its disobedient little brother a lesson.

"Very well." The Amethyst Winged Lion King lowered its head and laid its body down.

It was normal for the Amethyst Winged Lion King to have petty feelings, but no matter how hostile the Amethyst Winged Lion King is to Yun Yun, as a subordinate, it had to know how to obey.

"Qing Lin, help Sect Leader Yun Yun climb on the back of..., er, it wouldn't be good to keep calling you Amethyst Winged Lion King in the future, what's your name?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Shi Zi."

Xiao Ming: "... What a great name. Qing Lin, help Sect Leader Yun climb on the back of... Shi Zi and wipe the blood off her face while you're at it."

"And by the way... cough cough, put a garment on her."

Yun Yun, who was lying on the ground, heard Xiao Ming's words and immediately caught sight of herself, finding her clothes quite torn, and although they were not completely uncovered, they were not at all elegant either.

Thinking about the fact that she was in this indecent state when Xiao Ming squatted in front of her just now, she immediately blushed with embarrassment.

"Yes, Young Master!" Upon receiving Xiao Ming's command, Qing Lin immediately moved to complete the order.

A few minutes later, with the roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, they all disappeared into the distance.

...

On the outskirts of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, in Wu Tan City.

Today, the gates of Wu Tan City were as busy as usual, with groups of mercenaries of all sizes coming and going, some entering and others returning from the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

A young mercenary looked up at the sky in the direction of the Magic Beast Mountain Range and asked the elderly mercenary next to him, "Boss, what's that black dot in the sky?"

"What else could it be besides flying magic beasts?" The old mercenary said impatiently.

"Don't ask so many questions every day, will you? Read your mercenary manual, it's more useful than anything else."

The curious young man smiled awkwardly at his words, "I just haven't had the time. By the way, boss, you are very knowledgeable, can you tell me what kind of magical beast this is, how come it seems to be flying towards our Wu Tan City?"

"Flying towards our Wu Tan City?" The old mercenary elder froze at his words and looked up, he just took a glance and couldn't help but let out a cry of horror.

"Isn't that the Amethyst Winged Lion King? The Supreme Lord of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Holy Shit, what is it doing here in Wu Tan City!?"

The old mercenary had been in the Magic Beast Mountain Range all his life and wouldn't believe he was making a mistake.

Hearing his shout, many people also raised their heads.

When they saw the magnificent Amethyst Winged Lion King, glowing purple in the sunlight, they made terrified faces.

Very few had seen the Amethyst Winged Lion King, but its appearance was very recognizable.

"Oh no, that's really the Amethyst Winged Lion King!"

"I wonder what the Amethyst Winged Lion King is doing here in Wu Tan City, it wouldn't be here to massacre the City, would it!?"

"..."

"Run, the Amethyst Winged Lion King has come to massacre the City!"

The commotion at the city gates quickly spread through Wu Tan City.

Many people were running toward the outside of the city, and not a few were running toward the current Supreme Lord of Wu Tan City, the Xiao family.

It was common knowledge that the Xiao family had a Dou King guest.

Therefore, many people wanted to go to the Xiao family for refuge.

They did not expect that this Dou King would be able to defeat the Amethyst Winged Lion King but hoped that the Xiao Family would mention Xiao Ming's name and thus frighten the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

A sixth-tier Alchemist was not something that anyone could offend.

However, all these people were stopped outside the gate by the Xiao Family's guards.

In the Xiao Family's living room, many of the Xiao Family's senior members gathered in one place.

Xiao Zhan sat at the top, in the main seat and looked at the crowd below, and asked, "Have you already gone to invite the Honorable Guest Xue Tian?"

"Elder Xiao Shan has gone to invite him."

As soon as the words left his mouth, two sturdy figures walked in.

Seeing the figures, Xiao Zhan walked over to greet them with a joyful expression on his face.

"Honorable Guest Xue Tian, we have to rely on you this time." Xiao Zhan did not expect Xue Tian to be able to repel the Amethyst Winged Lion King, just to hold on for a bit while they informed Xiao Ming's name.

Unless the Amethyst Winged Lion King did not want to remain in the Jia Ma Empire, it simply would not dare to touch the Clan of a sixth-tier Alchemist.

Xue Tian merely nodded at his words and did not speak, acting very coldly.

"Report to the Clan Head! The Amethyst Winged Lion King has flown to Wu Tan City! And it seems to be flying towards us!"

"Honorable Guest Xue Tian..."

"I see." After saying that, Xue Tian headed to the living room.

The people of the Xiao family looked at each other and followed him.

There were many prominent Xiao family youths in the crowd, Xiao Ning, Xiao Mei, and others, and Xiao Yan, the son of the Clan Head, was also among them.

Looking at the nervous clansmen, Xiao Yan asked inwardly with some doubt, 'Master, what do you think the sixth-tier Amethyst Winged Lion King is doing here in Wu Tan City?'

'How should I know? The other party might be just passing by.'' Yao Lao's voice rang out.

Xiao Yan was speechless, everyone knew that the Amethyst Winged Lion could be passing by, but no one dared to bet on this possibility because magical beasts of this level had their own territories and rarely went towards the human territory.

'So, do you think Guest Xue Tian can stop it?'

'It would be difficult, knowing that, due to their bloodline, the level difference between magical beasts is much greater than that of humans. If it really comes to a fight, this Guest Xue Tian from your family wouldn't be able to stop it. However, your Xiao family has a genius, and the name of the sixth-tier Alchemist Xiao Ming can scare a lot of people.'' Yao Lao said with a smile.

Xiao Yan's heart was not a bit elated inside when he heard this because Yao Lao had once told him that he also had the qualifications to become an Alchemist. And Xiao Yan's blood boiled at the thought that he might also be able to scare a Dou Emperor with just the mention of his name in the future.

After getting excited, Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something and then asked, "Well, Master, I've always wanted to ask, what tier of Alchemist are you, are you higher than Xiao Ming?"

"Xiao Ming?" Yao Lao smiled nonchalantly at his words and said proudly, "Although this cousin of yours is certainly very talented and can be said to be very impressive for achieving this at such a young age, his current Alchemy skills are nothing in front of me."

"Furthermore, listening to your Xiao family's words, I can tell that his Master is only an Elder of Jia Nan Academy. Although Jia Nan Academy is famous on the Continent, its Alchemy Department is nothing. The heritage of a Master Alchemist is very important. His future path of Alchemy will be exceptionally difficult without the guidance of someone of a higher tier."

!!!!!

Xiao Yan could not help but suck in a breath of cold air at his words.

Xiao Ming was already a sixth-tier, so, if Yao Lao said this, wouldn't he be a seventh-tier, or even higher?

Xiao Yan did not dare to imagine it, but inwardly, he felt happy in his heart.

After all, who wouldn't be happy to have adored such a powerful Master?

During their conversation, the Xiao family followed Xue Tian until they reached a visible open space.

Of course, not all the people from the Xiao family had come here, only some, such as Xiao Zhan and some Elders, the others had already hidden.

Xiao Yan chose to hide in the shadows to get some information.

Half a second later, a huge magical beast that glowed with purple light appeared above the Xiao Family.
