"Here, this is a fifth-tier magic core for you."
After regaining her strength, Yun Yun exuded an aura of nobility and elegance. Her cold voice fell, and with a flash of light from the ring on her jade hand, a red crystal, brimming with terrifyingly wild power, appeared in her palm.
"This is the magic core of a fifth-tier magical beast, the Vajra Fire Ape. It was something my master obtained by chance during a battle."
Yun Yun extended her jade hand slowly, offering the fifth-tier magic core to Mo Yu.
"Oh, Yun Shan's spoils," Mo Yu thought to himself upon hearing her words.
Taking the fifth-tier magic core, Mo Yu glanced at it indifferently before calmly storing it in his Beast Ring.
He had no intention of immediately using the Thunder Soul to devour this fifth-tier magic core. First, because Yun Yun was beside him, and second, through his understanding of the Thunder Soul, he realized that the energy fed back by the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder had a limit his body could endure. Too much energy could cause his body to explode.
In other words, even if he devoured this fifth-tier magic core, the maximum energy feedback would only raise his level by two to three stars. Any excess energy would overwhelm his body.
Thus, it was better to save it until after he broke through to the Da Dou Shi realm, where it would have the greatest effect.
Seeing how Mo Yu accepted the fifth-tier magic core so calmly, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. Although the Amethyst Winged Lion King had dismissed it, the core was still a treasure from a fifth-tier magical beast.
Yet, this young Dou Zhe remained so composed in the face of such a valuable item. It was beyond ordinary comprehension.
"Alright, let's set off then." After acquiring a fifth-tier magic core, Mo Yu grew even more excited about the accompanying Amethyst source and the Amethyst Winged Lion King cub within the cave.
"Mm." Yun Yun nodded slightly. With a gentle tremor, a pair of cyan energy wings slowly spread from her back.
Not wanting to repeat Xiao Yan's embarrassing experience in the original story—where he had to cling to Yun Yun for a free ride—Mo Yu focused, activating the flow of his Dou Qi. A pair of purple energy wings also spread out from his back.
Though Mo Yu's purple wings weren't as powerful as Yun Yun's cyan wings, they still appeared quite remarkable. The youth's refined and ethereal appearance was accentuated by the purple wings.
At this moment, Mo Yu and Yun Yun stood side by side, their wings of cyan and purple complementing each other. It was almost as if there were no difference between the Dou Huang and the Dou Zhe, making them seem more like a well-matched couple.
Seeing the purple wings on Mo Yu's back, ripples stirred in Yun Yun's calm eyes. When the youth manifested his wings, she had momentarily mistaken him for a hidden Dou Wang expert.
However, upon sensing that he was still at the Dou Zhe level, she realized that the young man was using an extremely rare flying Dou Technique.
Observing how Mo Yu would rather exhaust his Dou Qi to maintain his wings than rely on her assistance, Yun Yun found herself secretly amused. He was indeed a prideful youth.
Mo Yu's extraordinary abilities sparked a thought within Yun Yun's heart.
Five years to become a Dou Huang... perhaps he could really achieve it.
"Let's go." Shaking off the sudden thought, Yun Yun's delicate face flushed slightly as she spoke to Mo Yu.
"Mm."
Although Yun Yun was far stronger than Mo Yu, she restrained herself from flying at full speed to avoid alerting any threats. As a result, despite his weaker abilities, Mo Yu was able to keep up.
Surprised that Mo Yu could barely maintain her pace, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes flickered with amazement. The more she interacted with him, the more secrets she uncovered.
"By the way, was it your idea for Nalan Yanran to come to my Xiao family and break off the engagement?" Mo Yu asked, starting a conversation mid-flight.
At his words, Yun Yun, always dignified and aloof like an immortal, felt a bit uncomfortable. She seemed slightly worried that this topic would cause Mo Yu or his family to think poorly of her.
After a brief hesitation, Yun Yun softly replied, "Yanran is a disciple I have high hopes for. I didn't want her to be constrained by marriage. After all, in a hundred years, she stands a good chance of succeeding me as the sect master of Yun Lan Sect."
After speaking, Yun Yun felt her words might have been inappropriate. Glancing at the calm-faced Mo Yu, she added, "If you feel wronged, I can send an elder to the Xiao family to apologize."
As one of the dominant powers in the Jia Ma Empire, sending a Yun Lan Sect elder to apologize would be a significant gesture of goodwill toward the Xiao family or Mo Yu.
But Mo Yu merely waved his hand. "That won't be necessary. What's done is done. The harm this has caused to the Xiao family and my cousin Xiao Yan is irreparable. Besides, you don't realize that your choice made the Nalan family lose a great son-in-law, and your beloved disciple lost a fine husband."
Hearing this, Yun Yun frowned, feeling that Mo Yu was exaggerating.
Seeing her doubt, Mo Yu laughed, "Haha, my cousin Xiao Yan's talent is no less than mine. You'll see when their three-year agreement comes to pass. My cousin is no ordinary person."
Yun Yun's expression grew more serious at this. Mo Yu's talent was something she had come to understand deeply after spending time with him. For him to compare his talent with that of Xiao Yan—a so-called "waste" from the Xiao family—made her reconsider the Xiao family's potential. Could they really produce such geniuses?
With this in mind, Yun Yun made a mental note to intensify her disciple's training, ensuring she wouldn't fall behind Mo Yu's cousin.
"You're surnamed Mo, so why are you living with the Xiao family?" After answering some of Mo Yu's questions, Yun Yun curiously asked her own.
Mo Yu's expression darkened, and he solemnly recounted his feud with the Mo family of Yan City.
"The Mo family of Yan City? They've been hunting you down?" As Mo Yu narrated his experiences, Yun Yun's expression grew colder, her disdain for the Mo family evident.
"I've heard the Mo family of Yan City has ties with Yun Lan Sect?" Mo Yu teased.
Yun Yun's face darkened slightly, as if every interaction between her and Mo Yu involved some unpleasant connection.
"Not anymore." Yun Yun's cold voice echoed, revealing her dominance and control over life and death.
As the current leader of Yun Lan Sect, Yun Yun's words signaled the complete severance of ties between the sect and the Mo family.
Surprised by her decisiveness, Mo Yu realized how highly Yun Yun regarded him.
Of course, Yun Yun wouldn't personally help him destroy the Mo family at this point. As the sect leader who treated Yun Lan Sect like her own family, she couldn't recklessly act against forces aligned with her sect.
"Thank you," Mo Yu nodded in gratitude. Without Yun Lan Sect's support, the Mo family, with only a Dou Ling on their side, would be much easier to deal with.
"No need to thank me."
Turning her gaze to the youth beside her, Yun Yun had a faint premonition that the Mo family's downfall was imminent.
