Yun Yun's injuries were severe, and with the Amethyst Winged Lion King's sealing technique affecting her, it would take several days to recover.
So she could only remain in the cave.
And Xiao Li naturally stayed in the cave to take care of her.
"Here, freshly roasted fish, and I picked some large papayas outside for you to replenish yourself with."
Xiao Li handed Yun Yun a few roasted fish, then placed several papayas in front of her.
"Papayas... replenish what?" Yun Yun blinked curiously, looking at the papayas in front of her. She had no memory of the effects of this food.
"Uh... it just replenishes, eating it is beneficial and harmless," Xiao Li said casually.
"Oh." Yun Yun nodded, picked up a roasted fish, and ate it in small, elegant bites.
"Xiao Li, thank you for helping me so much. When I'm better, I'll make you some roasted fish to try too."
"Alright, I'll wait."
While eating, Xiao Li sorted the medicinal herbs he had brought in from outside.
Seeing his actions, Yun Yun asked curiously, "Are you an Alchemist?"
"Hmm, I suppose so. But these herbs are mainly for ingredients, not for alchemy."
Xiao Li quickly divided the herbs into two portions.
"Here, this one is called 'Fragrant Herb'. It can enhance the aroma and freshness of food. Drip two drops on your roasted fish and try it."
Yun Yun squeezed two drops of the Fragrant Herb's juice onto the roasted fish as he instructed, and sure enough, the flavor instantly became more fragrant.
She took a bite, and the roasted fish was even more delicious.
"It really is! Delicious!"
"If it's delicious, eat more. That way, your injuries will heal faster."
Yun Yun nodded silently, looking at the young man in front of her, finding him quite pleasing to the eye.
Over the past few days of their interaction, he had taken care of her in every way. Even though he could have left, he had stayed.
"Roar!!"
Suddenly, a furious roar broke the warm atmosphere in the cave.
Yun Yun's expression changed: "Amethyst Winged Lion King?!"
She was too familiar with this roar; she knew it was the Amethyst Winged Lion King the moment she heard it, not to mention the fierce aura of a sixth-rank magical beast steadily pressing towards the cave.
They had been discovered!
"Xiao Li, hurry and go! The Amethyst Winged Lion King's target is me, I can't implicate you," Yun Yun said, somewhat anxiously.
Of course, she knew that Xiao Li was currently only a Dou Ling.
Although his talent was already very good, he was still no match for the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Xiao Li stood up, his face showing a resolute expression, and said, "No, if we go, we go together. If we can't go, I won't let the Amethyst Winged Lion King harm you."
Yun Yun felt as if her heart had been touched by something, and she bit her thin lip: "You idiot... why would you sacrifice yourself for me?"
Just then, the rocks above the cave were suddenly forcefully torn open, revealing bright light and the tall, majestic figure of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Human woman, you made this King search for a long time. So you have an accomplice after all."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's huge beast eyes swept over Xiao Li and Yun Yun, and he snorted coldly.
Yun Yun's heart immediately sank.
Although her external injuries had healed, the sealing technique had not yet been undone, and she was utterly powerless against the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
It didn't matter if she died, but implicating Xiao Li made her feel incredibly guilty.
"Lion King, you can do with me as you please, but this matter has nothing to do with him. Let him go," Yun Yun said.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted coldly: "Hmph, you are not qualified to bargain with this King. Even if I don't let him go, you are both still at this King's mercy!"
A hint of despair appeared on Yun Yun's face.
At this moment, Xiao Li stepped forward, holding a long spear flickering with lightning in his hand.
"Amethyst Winged Lion King... I'd like to see how capable you, the overlord of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, truly are."
He took a step, soaring into the air without any external aid!
Seeing this scene, Yun Yun's eyes suddenly widened in astonishment.
"Walking on air, this is... a Dou Zong expert?!"
But how was this possible?
Wasn't Xiao Li a Dou Ling? How did he become a Dou Zong expert?!
Even the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes widened.
Because at this moment, it felt Xiao Li's aura undergo an earth-shattering change.
From an ant it could easily crush, he had become a terrifying existence that even made it feel pressured.
"A Dou Zong expert... How is this possible?!"
Xiao Li didn't speak, but raised the long spear in his hand and shot it towards the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Sizzle!
The long spear was like lightning, tearing through the void, directly approaching the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Amethyst Seal!"
Sensing the terrifying power of the lightning spear in front of it, the Amethyst Winged Lion King decisively unleashed its strongest attack, firing a terrifying purple energy pillar from its mouth.
Boom!!
The two collided, and the Amethyst Seal, which had heavily injured Yun Yun, was as vulnerable as tofu before Xiao Li's long spear, being forcefully split in half.
Pfft!
The long spear pierced through the Amethyst Winged Lion King's left limb.
'Fortunately, it didn't hit a vital spot. Hurry and go!'
With just one strike, the Amethyst Winged Lion King realized the disparity in strength between itself and Xiao Li. It was absolutely no match!
But just as it turned to flee, the wound inflicted by Xiao Li's long spear suddenly began to bleed uncontrollably, and its life force rapidly dwindled along with it.
"What's going on..." Infinite terror surged within the Amethyst Winged Lion King's heart, and it quickly condensed Dou Qi at the wound, trying to stop the loss of life.
But it was useless.
"Floating Life Returning Blade Spear, a Middle-tier Earth-rank Dou Skill. As long as you are hit by my spear, your life will continuously drain away, unstoppable," Xiao Li said calmly.
"No! This is impossible!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King let out an unwilling roar, but its massive body began to rapidly shrink and shrivel. All its essence blood and energy were sucked dry, leaving only a husk that collapsed to the ground.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King, fallen!
The magical beasts who witnessed all this were terrified.
Their boss was actually killed?!
Run!
Run quickly!
In a short while, all the surrounding magical beasts had fled.
Xiao Li put away his long spear, and his aura also reverted from a Dou Zong to a Dou Ling. He returned to Yun Yun's front, revealing a warm smile: "It's alright now."
"You are... a Dou Zong expert?"
Yun Yun was somewhat astonished.
She couldn't imagine that this young man who had been taking care of her for the past few days was actually a Dou Zong expert?!
"Not really, just have some tricks up my sleeve," Xiao Li chuckled.
His Dou Zong experience card was for one hour.
He had used a few minutes now, and could still use it later.
But this wasn't his own cultivation; it was indeed just a method.
"This cave is ruined. Let's go to another place."
Saying that, Xiao Li walked over and picked Yun Yun up in his arms.
"I can walk... myself." Yun Yun was startled.
"But you can't fly right now. Are you going to walk alone in the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"
Yun Yun was speechless for a moment.
She lay quietly in Xiao Li's embrace, smelling the scent of the man, her cheeks flushed.
"Then I'll trouble you..."
...
