What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Imp

As time gradually passed, when it was noon and Yao Chen was starting to feel drowsy, Xiao Yan finally opened his eyes.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of Dou Qi erupted from his body. At the same time, deep purple flames ignited around Xiao Yan's body, filling the entire cave with a violent aura.

This scene startled Yao Chen awake.

Xiao Yan... has broken through to Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)!

And those purple flames, they should be the Beast Flames belonging to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!

"Phew..."

While Yao Chen was surprised, Xiao Yan exhaled deeply. The purple flames around his body gradually dissipated, leaving a layer of transparent Dou Qi covering his body's surface.

Dou Qi Garment! A skill obtained upon breaking through to Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)!

Xiao Yan stood up slowly, feeling the significant changes in his body. He then clenched his fist and swung it forcefully to the side, creating a gust of wind that blew through the cave.

"Senior Yao! I've broken through to Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)!"

Excitedly, Xiao Yan looked at Yao Chen, who had an attitude as if it wasn't a big deal. Yao Chen waved her hand dismissively.

"Alright, alright, you've become a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level). Look at how excited you are."

Although Yao Chen said that, his heart was already in turmoil.

From the time they entered the Magic Beast Mountain Range, it had only been two months since Xiao Yan had broken through from a Three-Star Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) to a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level). This rate of progress was astonishingly fast.

Furthermore, this was only for Xiao Yan. With his honed physique, his true strength was far greater than what was apparent on the surface, probably several times over.

Xiao Yan gradually calmed down, and then he remembered something.

"Oh right! Senior Yao, there's something else!" Xiao Yan opened his palm, revealing the yellow-colored Dou Qi, "The Flame Mantra has evolved! It has been upgraded from a Low Earth-ranked to a Mid Earth-ranked!"

"Upgraded by one rank..." Yao Chen murmured, then her lips curled slightly, "Well, it's just a Beast Flame, and it can't compare to a Heavenly Flame. It's quite surprising that it was able to advance a level."

However, despite what Yao Chen said, she was inwardly surprised. Xiao Yan's excitement demonstrated how much he valued this advancement. After all, according to Yao Chen, she had never heard of someone successfully cultivating the Flame Mantra before. Now, by absorbing the Beast Flame, it was proof that the description of the technique wasn't just empty words. This meant that once the technique's level increased, Yao Chen's body would undoubtedly be successfully refined!

Looking at the excited Xiao Yan, Yao Chen's eyes also revealed a sense of satisfaction.

Although Xiao Yan didn't say it aloud, Yao Chen guessed why he was so thrilled. Yao Chen felt content that she had found such a disciple once again.

"Moreover, there's this!"

Xiao Yan opened his palm, and a cluster of purple flames burned brightly within his hand, spreading an intense aura around.

This was the Beast Flame of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!

"Well, although it's not as good as my Bone Chilling Flame, this purple flame should be sufficient for you at your current stage."

Looking at the purple flame in Xiao Yan's hand, Yao Chen commented in this way. However, she added something in his mind.

Although with your current strength, even without this purple flame, it wouldn't matter.

Yao Chen's eyes were filled with helplessness. Putting aside other matters, just considering Xiao Yan's move, the Flame Splitting Tsunami, high-ranking Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) would have to be on full alert against him. If they were slightly careless, they could be defeated by Xiao Yan, who was only a One-Star Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level).

"Now that I've become a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level), I should pack up and return to Qingshan Town."

Xiao Yan began to tidy up the items in the cave. Originally, he planned to return to Qingshan Town after breaking through to Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level). That way, he would at least have the power to fight against Mu She on his own, even if it was just a chance to fight. Initially, Xiao Yan thought he would need a few more days to reach his goal, but he didn't expect to achieve it today.

After packing everything in the cave and confirming nothing was left behind, Xiao Yan took out the Ocean's Heart Armor from his storage ring and put it on under his clothes. Feeling the residual warmth of the armor, a sense of warmth welled up in his heart.

In the future, they would surely meet again.

Xiao Yan thought to himself and then left the cave where he had lived for two months. Gazing at the sun hanging high in the sky, he spread his Purple Cloud Wings and flew toward the lair of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

When Xiao Yan reached the entrance of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's lair, just as he landed after folding

"Oh~ Little guy, you've recovered too?"

"Roar~~~"

The Little Lion King joyfully called out, sticking out its tongue and affectionately licking Xiao Yan's cheek, making Xiao Yan, who was already in a great mood after his breakthrough, even happier.

Although it was called the "Little" Lion King, compared to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the Little Lion King's size was already slightly larger than Xiao Yan.

"Little guy, stop licking! It's so itchy!"

After letting the Little Lion King lick him for a while, Xiao Yan smiled and gently pushed the Little Lion King's head away. At this moment, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King also walked out of the cave and gazed at Xiao Yan, asking softly after a moment.

"Are you ready to leave?"

Normally, Xiao Yan only came when he was summoned. Now that Xiao Yan took the initiative to visit, and considering Yun Zhi's departure in the morning, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King guessed that Xiao Yan was here to bid farewell.

"Yeah~ I've achieved my goal of training in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. I have some matters to attend to with my friend as well, so I need to return as soon as possible."

Xiao Yan wiped the saliva off his face and gently stroked the Little Lion King's head. The Little Lion King obediently rubbed against Xiao Yan's palm.

Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King fell silent for a while. Then he slowly said,

"Is that so..." The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King gazed at Xiao Yan, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes. "You are the only human I've genuinely approved of so far. If humans were all like you, then I wouldn't have such a strong bias against them."

Xiao Yan's character was more upright than all the humans the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had encountered until now.

Although the world believed that he, as the ruler of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, was a rare magical beast, in the eyes of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the rarity of someone like Xiao Yan far exceeded his own.

"Thank you very much for your help in these past few days. My son has completely recovered from his weakness now. He only needs to grow slowly. You can leave with peace of mind."

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King slightly lowered his body, his huge beast pupils fixed on Xiao Yan. After a long while, he said in a sincere tone,

"Xiao Yan, I promise you, with the honor of my clan, that no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, no matter how dangerous your opponent is, as long as you speak up, no matter who the opponent is, I will risk my life to help you!"

This was the first promise the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had made since he was born! Moreover, the recipient was a human, a race he had always despised!

Undoubtedly, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's evaluation of Xiao Yan was second to none. From the bottom of his heart, he recognized Xiao Yan.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King firmly believed that Xiao Yan was absolutely worth it staking its life for!

Xiao Yan stared blankly at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in front of him. Then, he slowly came back to his senses, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you."

Xiao Yan lightly patted the Little Lion King's head. His Purple Cloud Wings unfolded once again as his body slowly floated into the air. Amid the reluctant roar of the Little Lion King, he bid farewell to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

"Goodbye!"

Xiao Yan flapped his Purple Cloud Wings and turned, flying towards the direction of Qingshan Town.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King quietly gazed at Xiao Yan's departing figure, a trace of anticipation in his beast pupils.

How wonderful it would be if all humans could have the character of Xiao Yan.

Then, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King shook his head slightly, bared his fierce teeth, and let out a bitter smile.

This kind of thing is probably impossible...
