Amidst the howling winds and turbulent flows, Yun Tianming's Dou Qi Cloak was continuously being damaged and repaired, gradually becoming more solid.
Yun Tianming shouted loudly, relying on the defensive power of his Dou Qi Cloak to forcefully withstand all the damage from Yun YunDou Technique!
"Such formidable Dou Qi! The defensive strength of this Dou Qi Cloak can actually resist attacks at the Dou Grandmaster level?"
Yun Yun said in surprise. Despite suppressing her own strength to the level of Dou Grandmaster, the other party was only a Dou Master, with a difference in rank of a whole level. Yet, the quality of Dou Qi was surprisingly similar, which was truly baffling.
"Advanced to 2-Star Dou Master!"
"Sister Yun'er, it's thanks to you for accompanying me in practice these past few days."
Yun Tianming clenched his fists, feeling a significant increase in his Dou Qi. This was also due to the strength of the Earth Rank Qi Method. The growth rate of Dou Qi for each advancement by 1 Star was much higher than that of practitioners using other Black Rank Qi Methods!
"By the way, Sister Yun'er, when will you practice the Earth Rank Low-Level Qi Method I gave you?"
Regarding the affectionate address "Sister Yun'er," Yun Yun still felt somewhat unaccustomed. However, after Yun Tianming called her that from morning to night for these past few days, Yun Yun's resistance seemed to gradually diminish.
"Switching to another Qi Method requires seclusion for the First Stage."
"Before that, I want to finish what needs to be done."
Yun Yun wasn't in a hurry to cultivate the Earth Rank Low-Level Qi Method.
"Is it about Yanran?"
Yun Tianming carefully recalled the relevant plot from the original work and roughly guessed what was on Yun Yun's mind.
"Yes. I promised her that once she breaks through to Dou Master, I'll craft a brand-new weapon for her."
"One of the crucial materials needed for it requires a journey to the Magic Beast Mountains."
Yun Yun nodded. She was quite doting on Nalan Yanran, her direct disciple.
Searching for materials, Purple Spirit Crystal.
Magic Beast Mountains, Amethyst Winged Lion King.
The plot aligns!
A cold light flashed in Yun Tianming's eyes.
"In the original work, Yun Yun was almost defiled by Xiao Yan in the Magic Beast Mountains. Now that he's here, of course, we have to put an end to this unwarranted plot!"
"Sister Yun'er, please let me accompany you to the Magic Beast Mountains!"
Yun Tianming said firmly.
"Oh? Tianming, you seem quite concerned about Yanran?"
Yun Yun squinted her eyes, speaking with a slightly teasing tone.
"No, I'm just worried about Sister Yun'er."
Yun Tianming gazed intensely at Yun Yun.
This statement of his was undoubtedly one hundred percent sincere!
If he didn't go, and the plot of the cave incident repeated itself, it would be a regrettable decision!
"Hehe~ Your sister here is a Dou Emperor powerhouse. Do I need your protection, little Dou Master brother?"
Yun Yun smirked, leaning slightly forward, extending a slender jade finger, and gently flicking Yun Tianming's forehead.
Yun Tianming reached out, holding the other's finger and earnestly said, "This has nothing to do with being a sister or a brother. This is about a man protecting the woman he loves."
As a man, protecting the woman he loves.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Her heart raced.
Yun Yun looked stunned, and then her cheeks uncontrollably began to blush. She tilted her head slightly to avoid direct eye contact with Yun Tianming, took a few deep breaths, and struggled to suppress the flush that appeared on her face.
In her mind, she silently repeated: Maintain composure! You are the dignified Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect! How could you let your heart be in turmoil with just a few words from a junior? What kind of image is this?
"Tianming, right now, you're at best just a big boy. It's too early to call yourself a man."
Yun Yun, trying to appear calm, began lecturing.
"A big boy?"
"Tsk tsk~ You really dare to say that!"
Yun Tianming furrowed his brow, and his expression seemed a bit strained. His mouth twitched uncontrollably, then he gave Yun Yun a gaze full of provocation and said meaningfully, "If the opportunity arises, I'll make sure Sister Yun'er understands what a real man is!"
"Oh~"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun rolled her eyes dramatically, purposely forming her lips into an "O" shape while wearing a nonchalant expression on her face.
Hehe~ You, a mere Dou Master, want to surpass a Dou Emperor powerhouse?
That's quite a fantasy!
Yun Yun completely dismissed it, treating it as the futile rage of a "little brother."
---
The next day.
The two set off for the Magic Beast Mountains.
"Sister Yun'er, taking a flying Magic Beast back and forth will take almost half a month, you know."
Yun Tianming rubbed his hands together, smiling.
"True. Those things are so slow. Let's just fly directly."
Yun Yun didn't think much about it; she directly summoned her exquisite pale blue Dou Qi Wings. Her graceful figure soared into the sky, with three thousand strands of blue silk and her dress dancing in the wind, giving the impression of a charming dragon or a startled swan.
"Sister Yun'er, so beautiful~"
Yun Tianming's eyes lit up, unable to help but sincerely admire. Then, he opened his arms towards her and said earnestly, "Hug."
"What?!"
Yun Yun's delicate body trembled, almost falling from the sky! Her pretty face blushed with embarrassment as she exclaimed, "Yun Tianming! What are you trying to do again?"
At this moment, Yun Tianming still maintained the posture of open arms, with a casual expression, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "From the Misty Cloud Sect to the nearest Magic Beast Mountains, it's at least over two thousand miles. Sister Yun'er, you don't expect me to run there, do you? I'm not an athlete."
What athlete? What a mess!
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun couldn't help but cover her forehead, suddenly showing a look of realization.
"No wonder we're not riding a flying beast. Is all of this your plan?"
"Ah~ It's just a coincidence."
Yun Tianming smiled shyly. A planned coincidence, nothing wrong with that!
Her long eyelashes trembled for a moment. After a while, Yun Yun sighed deeply. With her Dou Qi Wings spread out, her figure descended slowly. Glancing at Yun Tianming's expectant open arms and the previous "hug" remark, Yun Yun couldn't bear to look. She turned slightly away, her back facing him. Biting her lip after a moment of hesitation, she, like a broken jar, said, "You come up yourself!"
Haha! I've been waiting for this!
Yun Tianming was overjoyed. Using Bursting Void Steps under his feet, he shot up into the air. He pounced onto Yun Yun's back, tightly embracing her delicate and soft waist with both hands.
"Don't move! Be careful, or I'll throw you off!!"
Yun Yun's petite body trembled slightly. She took a slow breath, forcefully suppressing her pounding heart, and coldly threatened.
"I got it, Sister Yun'er. I'm an honest person, won't do anything reckless."
While Yun Tianming claimed not to, his hands honestly tightened around Yun Yun's waist.
