Yun Yun's face froze. She couldn't imagine who she'd dressed so lavishly for. This bastard...
Looking at Yun Yun's melancholic eyes, she looked like a fairy descended into the mortal world, her former elegance gone, now a bit more feminine.
"Your injuries look almost healed. When you've gathered the herbs I've provided, meet me at the Miter Auction House in the Holy City of Gama. You have a month to go." Liu Yu turned, his Dou Qi transforming into wings, and prepared to leave.
Yun Yun was stunned. Leaving? Disregarding her reserve, she quickly stepped forward and grasped Liu Yu's hand, "I'll go with you!"
"Hmm?"
"My Dou Qi is sealed, and the Tagor Desert is haunted by Serpent People. If I were to encounter a Serpent People Dou Wang warrior..." Yun Yun explained softly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Liu Yu, a look of pity.
"Tsk, you want me to escort you out of the Tagor Desert? I'll pay you!" Liu Yu chuckled. This was just the outskirts of the Tagor Desert, where snakemen were practically unheard of. Yun Yun's little tricks... oh, my brother's charm was too great!
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement 'Shameless'. The reward has been sent to the system space. Please check it yourself." "
Fuck you... you ox-horse system! A warrior can be killed but not humiliated. You actually slandered me? I'm suing you!
Liu Yu thought the system was a scoundrel! Was he right? Didn't Yun Yun's every move prove that she had feelings for him? Damn it, that cowardly system!
"Here, take me to the Imperial Capital!" Although Yun Yun was speechless at Liu Yu's lack of understanding, she still pulled out a purple-gold card with nine silver ripples from her ring.
In the Jia Ma Empire, only Dou Huang-level warriors were eligible to issue this purple-gold card!
Liu Yu took the nine-patterned purple-gold card without hesitation. Even brothers need to settle accounts!
"Due to your good attitude, you will be treated to VIP service and flown to your destination!" Liu Yu smiled, looking at Yun Yun.
Yun Yun didn't hesitate, though her ears blushed slightly. Seeing this, Liu Yu immediately scooped her up, his blood-red wings flapping as he soared into the sky, heading beyond the Tagor Desert.
As he soared through the air, Liu Yu cursed the system inwardly, "You idiot system, open your eyes! Revoke that achievement immediately! Forget the reward, just treat it as compensation for violating my reputation!" (Achievement System: ...)
Desert City.
A streak of blood-red light stopped in the distance and landed on the ground.
Liu Yu had intended to fly directly to the Imperial Capital, but the woman in his arms insisted on walking from here, with a perfectly reasonable excuse: collecting medicinal herbs along the way.
What could Liu Yu do? It's all about money, and the money gets you the job!
Yun Yun, reluctantly rising from Liu Yu's embrace, lay in his embrace, giving her a sense of security she had never felt before, a feeling she was deeply captivated by.
"So, my lord employer, where shall we go next?"
Yun Yun pondered for a moment, then pulled a black robe from her ring and draped it around her, obscuring her features. She then said to Liu Yu, "Let's go to the herbalist shop first!"
Seeing Yun Yun dressed so elegantly, Liu Yu expressed his understanding. After all, beauty is a curse, and this could prevent unnecessary trouble.
Following behind Yun Yun, Liu Yu looked at Mocheng and couldn't help but think of the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who seemed to be living in seclusion there!
However, he didn't bother to bother the old man, so he decided to let Xiao Yanzi "take care" of him!
...
Time passed slowly, and three months had already passed.
After overcoming countless hardships, Liu Yu and Yun Yun finally arrived in the imperial capital!
Recalling the hardships of the journey, Liu Yu looked at Yun Yun, dressed in a plain green robe, with a look of resentment. He had originally been collecting herbs, but instead, he had been dragged along on a shopping spree, buying clothes and jewelry. Worst of all, he was even asked to pay! Yun Yun
simply gave Liu Yu a bright smile in response.
Hey! Liu Yu raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the magnificent city. The Que City was magnificent. Of all the cities he had seen, including the Serpent Tribe's Holy City, the Gama Holy City was undoubtedly the greatest in terms of grandeur and size.
As Liu Yu's gaze shifted, a vast, majestic mountain crept up like a giant dragon, faintly emitting a soaring spiritual energy!
"This is the Yunlan Sect!" Yun Yun looked at Liu Yu with considerable pride, then a hint of reluctance flashed in her beautiful eyes. "I'm leaving!" She
hadn't returned to the sect in over three months. Although she had reported her safety on the way here, as the sect leader, there were some sect affairs she needed to handle personally.
"Yes." Liu Yu's expression was calm.
Yun Yun had long been accustomed to Liu Yu's "indifference." She chuckled softly and gazed at him, her beautiful eyes full of affection. "Liu Yu, I've been so happy these past three months with you!"
Liu Yu remained silent. Could he not be so sentimental all of a sudden?
Seeing the silent Liu Yu, Yun Yun moved, placing a passionate kiss on his lips. Without hesitation, she turned and left.
Yun Yun's face flushed, her heart brimming with joy. She wasn't one to initiate things, but the man she liked was a blockhead! Having made her feelings clear, she decided to take the initiative! If she liked him, she had to fight for him!
Watching Yun Yun retreat, Liu Yu's expression was complex, and he gently touched her lips, still warm.
Liu Yu smiled wryly. Fortunately, during those three months on the road, the Queen's Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python bloodline had experienced a breakthrough, causing her to fall into a deep sleep. At that time, the Queen's soul had perfectly merged with Xiao Qi's. One night, after appearing to warn him against "stirring up trouble," she fell into a deep sleep and has not awakened since.
When I wake up next time, I'm afraid my cultivation will have reached an astonishing level!
With a light sigh, Liu Yu cast aside all distracting thoughts and stopped thinking about it. Now he could only take things one step at a time. After entering the
imperial capital,
Liu Yu went directly to the Mitel auction house through the conversations of passersby.

Upon entering the auction hall, the hustle and bustle of the outside world was completely cut off. Just a few meters away, it felt like two worlds apart.
Inside, expressionless, heavily armed guards were everywhere, wearing the Miter family crest on their chests. Clearly, they were directly affiliated with the Miter family.
As Liu Yu entered, he could sense no fewer than twenty sharp glances sweeping across him, but he quickly averted them.
He briefly surveyed the surrounding crystal counters, but finding nothing of value, he withdrew his gaze. He casually stopped a guard, displayed the Nine-Patterned Purple Gold Card, and ordered, "Call Yafei over!"
The guard was stunned upon seeing the Nine-Patterned Purple Gold Card. As a Miter family guard, he naturally understood the significance of the card before him. This was a Purple Gold Card, granted only to Dou Huang powerhouses!
"Sir, please wait in the VIP room for a moment. I'll call Elder Yafei for you!"
The guard, his face respectful, quickly summoned his colleague, who then led Liu Yu to the VIP room. He cursed inwardly, "What are those receptionists doing?" If the higher-ups knew they'd left a distinguished guest, possessing Nine-Patterned Purple Gold, out in the cold, everyone at this auction house would be blamed!
And so, Liu Yu was led by another guard to a lavishly decorated VIP room. Beautiful maids then arrived, serving tea and water.
Playing with the Nine-Patterned Purple Gold card in his hand, Liu Yu's lips curled slightly. This card was quite useful!
At that moment, a series of crisp, melodious sounds echoed, like a string of beautiful musical notes.
Looking forward, Liu Yu spotted a familiar woman, clad in a rich, intricately crafted, elegant red bodysuit that perfectly outlined her curves. Her slender waist, cinched with a silver headband, revealed dazzling, snow-white legs.
When the enchanting woman saw who was sitting in the VIP room, her sight suddenly froze, and her steps suddenly stopped. Her eyes, full of charm and temptation, stopped at the noble young man, revealing a hint of disbelief. It turned out that he was the one holding the Nine-Patterned Purple Gold Card!
"How come you don't recognize me after just over three months? Miss Yafei!" Liu Yu chuckled.
"How could it be! Young Master is so talented, Yafei will never forget him for the rest of her life!" Yafei, who had come to her senses, looked at Liu Yu with a smile, and leaned forward slightly, revealing her deep cleavage and snow-white breasts that were full of crazy things.
"I came here this time just to see how the list I gave you is going!" Liu Yu's red eyes were full of amusement. Are you using this to test the cadres? Who are you looking down on?
Ya Fei took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Young Master, the herbs on your list are far too precious. Even with all our resources, our Mitel family has only managed to gather about 70%!"
Speaking of this, Ya Fei was stunned for a while. After returning to the imperial capital, she handed the list and the elixirs to her family. Later, she learned that the herbs listed were almost all used to refine fifth- and sixth-grade elixirs! Some might even be used to refine seventh-grade elixirs!
Seventh-grade elixirs! Not even the Pill King Gu He could create them. While this was just her family's guess based on the herbs on the list, considering the mysterious young master before her, Ya Fei felt that he might be the master of a seventh-grade alchemy! A
seventh-grade alchemy master! Such a thing was legendary in the Jiama Empire!
To this end, her grandfather, Mitel Tengshan, the patriarch of the Mitel family, had given her a crystal card. This was the Mitel family's highest-level VIP card, and it was incredibly valuable!
Her grandfather instructed her to hand over the card to the young master the next time he came to the Mitel Auction House and to do everything in her power to befriend him. He even hinted that if she could "win over" the young master, she might even be able to take the position of Mitel Family Patriarch!
This delighted Yafei, yet she felt her chances were slim. Her feelings were unrequited! Having learned to read expressions since childhood, she could sense that the young master wasn't interested in her; his captivating red eyes held only indifference.
Yet, there remained a glimmer of hope. She didn't expect to become his woman; simply becoming a good friend would elevate her status within the family.
"Seventy percent? Not bad!" Liu Yu smiled faintly. This was truly unexpected. He had thought thirty or forty percent would be good, but unexpectedly...
"Sir, this is our Mitel Family's highest-level VIP card. I hope you will accept it!" As she spoke, Yafei pulled a crystal card from her bosom.
Liu Yu accepted the crystal card without hesitation. Unknowingly, he too would become the "Card King."
Seeing Liu Yu accept the card, Ya Fei was delighted and quickly said, "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll go get the herbs for you!"
Liu Yu replied softly, and Ya Fei left the VIP room with a graceful figure.
Liu Yu watched Ya Fei's departure, feeling a surge of anticipation. He wondered what herbs the Mitel family had gathered for him. I hope they won't disappoint me!
Just as Liu Yu was immersed in the excitement of opening a blind box, Ya Fei quickened her pace, almost jogging, leaving the VIP room. The sight of this scene sent a burning sensation through the hearts of the people in the hall, their throats involuntarily rolling, and the throbbing fullness of their breasts caused some to slightly bend over to conceal their awkwardness.
Yunlan Sect, meeting hall.
Yun Yun, dressed in a moon-white gown, sat in the center of a large table. Her graceful, noble face was radiant with a cold expression.
Around the table sat a dozen figures, most of them dressed in white robes and sporting distinctive emblems on their chests, a testament to their high status within the Yunlan Sect. On the other
side of the table, Dan Wang Gu He gazed at Yun Yun from the main seat with concern. Behind him, a handsome man bowed, but his gaze, like that of his master, remained fixed on the moon-robed girl across from them.
The moon-robed girl had delicate hands, skin as white as cream, a delicate figure, and a charming smile that exuded a subtle air of detachment and refinement. Her seemingly gentle smile betrayed a cold, distant aloofness. A pair of green jade pendants dangled from her delicate earlobes. It was none other than Yun Yun's apprentice, Nalan Yanran!
Nalan Yanran's mind was completely focused on her teacher. She had heard that Elder Gu He had previously invited her teacher to the Tagor Desert, but only Elder Gu He had returned to the sect in a rather disheveled state!
He had revealed that their trip to the Serpent People was for the strange fire, and that he had invited two of the Jia Ma Empire's ten most powerful figures, Yan Shi and Feng Li, as well as several other experts.
Furthermore, Gu He had prepared a generous gift in exchange for the strange fire, which was of little use to the Serpent People. Gu He had thought the deal was a sure thing, but when he proposed the exchange, the Serpent People's Dou Wang masters attacked them without a word!
This led to the appearance of an unknown Serpent People Dou Huang master! They had assumed that the Serpent People only had one Dou Huang master, Queen Medusa. Even more shocking was the fact that Yun Yun, also a Dou Huang master, was completely overwhelmed!
If Yun Yun hadn't held back the Serpent People Dou Huang master, they would have perished in the desert!
At this moment, Yun Leng, a solemn old man sitting at the head of the elders, stared at Yun Yun closely and said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, how is the seal in your body?"
"No problem, how are the herbs on the list collected?"
A cold voice with a hint of majesty rang out in the hall.
"Sect Master, I have collected two as you requested!" Yun Leng replied, and took out a green storage ring from his arms. He stood up and handed it to Yun Yun.
More than two months ago, after they received a letter and a list from Yun Yun, they mobilized the power of the entire sect to start collecting. Before they got any definitive news about Yun Yun, they had already been secretly inquiring about Yun Yun's whereabouts. After learning about Yun Yun's situation, they were relieved.
