"Oh? Then congratulations," she replied calmly.
"And you? Why are you here in the Magical Beast Mountains?" Ye Chen asked in return.
"I came to trade with the Amethyst Winged Lion King for an Amethyst Spirit Crystal," she said softly.
"But I lost the fight and ended up caught in one of its seals. Once I've recovered, I intend to try again
As she spoke, an image flickered unbidden through her mind...a young man's silhouette, wreathed in lightning.
"Strange… his build is about the same as Feng'er's. And both have thunder attributes…" she murmured inwardly.
"How coincidental," Ye Chen said with a small smile. "My goal here was the Companion Amethyst Source.
When the lion king was away, I slipped into its lair and took it. The Amethyst Spirit Crystal came along with it.
While Yun Yun was still lost in thought, Ye Chen turned his palm upward.
A jagged, purple crystal the size of a fist shimmered in his hand, glowing faintly with radiant energy.
"That's… really an Amethyst Spirit Crystal!"
Yun Yun's eyes widened in astonishment.
She herself had once attempted to steal that very crystal and failed.....yet this young man, a mere Da Dou Shi, had succeeded where a Dou Huang had not.
"No wonder the Amethyst Winged Lion King acted so strangely earlier," she realized. "Its lair had already been robbed!"
Understanding dawned in her gaze. She looked at the glowing crystal in Ye Chen's palm and hesitated, her lips parting slightly.
"That crystal… would you be willing to trade it to me?"
"Sure," Ye Chen replied with an easy smile. "What will you offer in return?"
"This…"
Her voice trailed off. Yun Yun fell silent, torn with indecision.
Judging from Ye Chen's earlier display of strength, he clearly didn't lack for advanced techniques or powerful skills.
As for magic cores or rare pills.....she had none worthy of such a trade.
For the first time, she found herself at a loss.
Seeing the hesitation on Yun Yun's face, Ye Chen chuckled softly. "Still can't think of anything?"
"Not yet. I really don't have anything worth trading you," Yun Yun said with a small shake of her head.
After a moment of thought, she made up her mind, slipping the jade ring from her finger and severing her spiritual link with it.
"How about this," she said quietly, her tone uncertain.
"You can look through my storage ring. If there's anything you like, take it. If not… then forget it."
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she already knew she was at a disadvantage.
Still, a flicker of hope remained.....perhaps he would find something valuable enough to trade for the Amethyst Spirit Crystal.
"Alright then, I'll take a look."
Ye Chen had already planned to give her the crystal freely. Seeing Yun Yun offer her ring so sincerely, he decided to play along, ready to pick a random trinket just to make it look fair.
But as he looked through the ring's contents, his hand froze midair.
Inside the spatial ring… lay a light-blue inner armor—familiar, delicate, and unmistakably feminine.
A grin tugged at Ye Chen's lips. "Heh, this one will do."
Without hesitation, he drew out the garment and held it up.
The faint scent of a woman's fragrance lingered on the soft fabric.
Yun Yun blinked, momentarily stunned. Then her porcelain cheeks and slender neck flushed a deep crimson.
"T-That one doesn't count! Give it back!" she exclaimed, her voice flustered as she reached for the inner armor.
Ye Chen raised his arm just out of reach, teasingly dodging her grasp.
"You were the one who said I could take anything I liked from the ring. Regretting it now is a bit late, don't you think?"
He smiled as he spoke, holding out the Amethyst Spirit Crystal with his free hand.
Faced with both the crystal and the intimate garment now in Ye Chen's possession, Yun Yun's beautiful eyes flickered with a storm of emotion.
She knew that if he'd already chosen, she wouldn't be able to take it back.
"…Forget it," she sighed inwardly. "Let it be a memento.
Her delicate hand reached out and took the crystal, her face calm once more as she resumed eating, tearing off a small piece of grilled fish and chewing it slowly.
Seeing her regain composure, Ye Chen's heart lightened with joy.
He stroked the fabric of the inner armor once more, then quickly tucked it away into his ring.
