"Oh."
Dan Chen had no objections to Lin Feng's arrangements. However, when she noticed that his gaze seemed… off, she shrank her shoulders slightly and whispered, "Big Brother Lin Feng, your eyes look strange… like you're about to eat me whole."
"Uh… that's probably because you got scared by the lightning pool earlier and misread it."
Lin Feng casually made up an excuse, then brushed a hand across his storage ring.
He pulled out a dozen or so Rank 8 magic cores, along with an equal number of Dou Zun corpses.
Settling Dan Chen back into his arms, he sat down on the edge of the Lightning Pool and began explaining all the important details involved in refining Sky Demon Puppets. As for the adorable little white rabbit, she sat obediently on his lap, listening with full concentration.
Ten days slipped by in the blink of an eye.
Zi Yan, who had left the Void Lightning Pool earlier, rushed back to Ye City in great haste.
After discussing things with Ye Xin Lan, she successfully obtained several Sky Demon Puppets with mid to low level Dou Zun combat strength. These were practically all the completed puppets Ye Xin Lan currently had in her possession.
After all, the fact that her man had been ambushed because of Xiao Yan had thoroughly touched Ye Xin Lan's reverse scale. So once she learned these puppets would be used in Zi Yan's revenge scheme, she didn't hesitate for a moment — she handed everything over.
Of course, Zi Yan only accepted them after confirming that Ye Xin Lan still had spare materials for making new puppets. With that assurance, she immediately left Ye City and headed straight for the Holy Pill City.
Compared to Zi Yan, who was eager to seek vengeance, Xiao Yan was looking rather leisurely at this moment.
Not because he liked Holy Pill City — far from it. He simply had no choice. His girlfriend's side had yet to deliver either the Soul Baby Fruit or the Spiritual Dragon Heavenly Fungus he urgently needed.
So all he could do was wait in Holy Pill City day after day for news. Just when Xiao Yan was growing impatient, a piece of good news finally arrived for him and Yao Chen.
Gu Xun'er had come!
"Brother Xiao Yan, Senior."
In a quiet courtyard of Holy Pill City, Gu Xun'er greeted the two with a sweet smile glowing across her beautiful face.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that little girl from back then… after only a few short years apart, you've already reached Four-Star Dou Zun."
Even Yao Chen, who knew full well her identity was extraordinary, couldn't help clicking his tongue in astonishment.
When Gu Xun'er left, she had only been at the Dou Huang level. Now, after just seven and a half years, she had leaped straight to Four-Star Dou Zun. Judging by her aura, she might even break into Five-Star before long.
"Senior praises me too much. Xun'er's achievements today are entirely thanks to the bloodline passed down from my ancestor. Unlike Brother Xiao Yan — even without such things, his cultivation speed is still terrifying."
Gu Xun'er was very polite toward Yao Chen, fully aware of how important he was to Xiao Yan.
Showing him attitude would only embarrass her own Brother Xiao Yan.
"Xun'er, don't tease. I'm about to worry myself to death."
Xiao Yan let out a bitter laugh.
Hearing this, Gu Xun'er's delicate brows knit tightly. This expression meant one thing: her Brother Xiao Yan had run into trouble again.
"Brother Xiao Yan, did someone blind without eyes offend you?"
Xun'er's tone sharpened.
Xiao Yan exhaled lightly, then explained his failed ambush on Lin Feng — and how he and his group were lingering in Holy Pill City purely out of concern that Lin Feng might retaliate.
"The Ancient Void Dragon Clan…"
Hearing that the mysterious magic beast overlord involved in this incident had actually sent a high-level Ban Sheng to interfere, Gu Xun'er instantly felt the matter become extremely troublesome.
She absolutely did not dare to act as casually as she had during the Pill Tower incident. Back then, she had been bold only because the Pill Tower's strength was far inferior to that of the Gu Clan, and she was certain they wouldn't dare oppose the Gu Clan.
But when facing the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, another Ancient Clan like her own, she had no choice but to stay on full alert. If she pushed them too far, the Ancient Void Dragon Clan might genuinely go to the Gu Realm to demand an explanation.
If that happened, she had no idea what those old stubborn Elders would do to calm the Dragons' anger and save face…seeing Gu Xun'er troubled, Xiao Yan instantly understood she was already thinking about how to help him.
He chuckled lightly and said, "But Xun'er, you don't have to worry about me. A few days ago, I asked Elder Xuan to thoroughly investigate hundreds of miles around Holy Pill City, and he didn't find any traces of Lin Feng's ambush."
"So I'm guessing that guy has something else to deal with. For the time being, he probably won't come looking for trouble."
As he said this, his eyes lit up slightly and he looked at Gu Xun'er with anticipation.
"Xun'er, the things I requested earlier… does the Gu Clan have them in stock?"
Hearing this, Gu Xun'er's rosy lips curved upward into a faint smile.
"Of course. Although the Soul Baby Fruit and the Spiritual Dragon Heavenly Fungus are rare, my Gu Clan has existed for tens of thousands of years. We still have some saved up."
She lifted her slender jade-like hand and brushed her storage ring, taking out a beautifully crafted jade box.
"Wow, what a rich medicinal fragrance… The quality of this herb is insane! That damned woman dared to tempt me with something like this… she'd better be careful, or I'll deal with her too!"
Smelling the faint threads of fragrance drifting from the jade box, Zi Yan almost drooled on the spot, her eyes shining.
If not for the shred of rationality reminding her she was supposed to be monitoring the situation and needed to look after the bigger picture — she would have already rushed over to grab… no, to receive the treasure herb.
"Brother Xiao Yan, this Spiritual Dragon Heavenly Fungus was specifically chosen by Xun'er in the clan's treasure vault for Senior. It's one of the highest quality ones we have. I hope it will satisfy you both."
While handing the jade box over, Gu Xun'er explained with a warm smile.
She wasn't lying. To obtain this high-quality Spiritual Dragon Heavenly Fungus, she had spent quite a bit of effort.
In fact, when the Gu Clan Elders first heard Xiao Yan didn't want a Heavenly Flame and instead asked for a Soul Baby Fruit or Spiritual Dragon Heavenly Fungus, their initial reaction had been to grab the lowest grade one from the warehouse and call it a day.
After all, they weren't the ones using it. As long as it met the basic requirement, that was good enough for them.
Naturally, Gu Xun'er rejected this decision with full force. Because the moment she learned this herb was crucial for resurrecting Xiao Yan's teacher, she immediately realized something—this was her chance to earn favor with her beloved's Elder.
