Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 131 Presenting Armor and Parting

"Don't worry, just follow me and do your job well, and the Transformation Pill might not be out of the question in the future!"

After placing a soul seal on the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Xiao Bai was speechless when he saw it collapse to the ground with a look of utter despair after a moment of shock.

Although he had not studied any methods of managing subordinates, he knew the principle of giving a carrot and stick and offered a carrot, so he made a big promise to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Upon hearing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was initially skeptical, but then, thinking of his cheap master's powerful soul force, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. Could he also be an alchemist?

Seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes suddenly light up, Xiao Bai smiled with satisfaction. Although he controlled this guy, he could be troublesome if he didn't put in the effort at crucial moments. So he decided to lure him with benefits first and then see how he performed in the future.

Yunzhi also walked up out of curiosity. Looking at the lion that had just fought her to the death, now showing no signs of its previous rage and killing intent, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

I never expected to encounter such a magical little guy on this trip to the Monster Mountain Range.

"Ah Niu, are you really not going to the place I told you about?" Yunzhi was a little reluctant to let such a valuable talent, who could revitalize the sect, be left out in the open.

"I won't trouble your friend!" Xiao Bai smiled and shook his head, saying, "Judging from your expression, are you leaving?"

"Yes!" Yunzhi nodded softly and said, "I've been out for several days already. Now that things are settled, I have to go back!"

She had been away for too long, and there were many matters to attend to within the sect; she needed to return as soon as possible.

"Here's the Purple Spirit Crystal you wanted!" Xiao Bai took out a crystal from his storage ring and handed it to Yun Zhi, despite the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's sidelong glance.

"Thank you!" Yunzhi looked at the purple spirit crystal that she had finally obtained after many twists and turns, took it with her delicate hand, and said softly.

"Don't be so polite with me! I already agreed to help you!" Xiao Bai said with a slight smile.

Yunzhi looked gently at Xiao Bai, at the little guy who had saved her twice, taken care of her, and helped her, and a strange emotion appeared in her eyes.

"Come with me!" After saying that, as if she had made up her mind, she took Xiao Bai's hand and turned to walk back into the cave.

Xiao Bai didn't know what she was going to do, so he followed her in with some doubt until they arrived inside the cave.

"Turn around, and don't look back! And don't use your soul power to peek!" Yunzhi gently bit her red lips, her gaze wandering slightly, a blush rising on her pretty face.

"Okay!" Xiao Bai seemed to know what she was going to do. He solemnly agreed, then turned around and set up several layers of soul barriers in the cave passage.

Seeing him turn away, Yunzhi's jade-like hands trembled slightly as she untied her plain dress and gently removed the pale blue metallic inner armor that shimmered with a strange light. In an instant, a perfectly sculpted body appeared in the cave, revealing its full beauty.

Then, Yunzhi, slightly shy, quickly put on her clothes, held her inner armor in her hands, looked at Xiao Bai who had his back to her, and whispered, "Turn around!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai turned around, first glancing at Yun Zhi, whose face was still slightly flushed, and then his gaze fell on the inner armor in her hand, understanding dawning on him.

Yunzhi stepped forward and handed the inner armor to Xiao Bai, gently saying, "You have your own opportunities, and you don't lack cultivation techniques or fighting skills. It seems there's nothing else I can help you with. The only thing I can do is offer this Heart of the Sea Armor. It's made of a strange metal produced inside the belly of a sixth-tier sea monster, a three-tailed blue whale. Its defensive power depends on the strength of its owner. With your fighting spirit strength, you should be able to use it. Consider it a small reward from me!"

At first, Xiao Bai's gaze was gentle, but as he listened, his brows gradually furrowed and his expression slowly turned cold.

Yunzhi was a little puzzled when she saw that he didn't answer, but when she saw the little guy's sudden expression, she was a little confused as to why he had put on such a sour face again.

"If this is payment, then please keep it! I don't need it!" Xiao Bai said coldly.

Yunzhi understood, feeling both amused and exasperated. She did indeed intend to compensate him, but her primary hope was that the inner armor would protect him. She hadn't expected him to misunderstand, so she changed her approach, saying:

"Okay, okay, I misspoke! This is a parting gift for you, not a reward, alright?"

"That's more like it!" Xiao Bai muttered, taking the inner armor and touching it. It didn't feel like metal; instead, it was as soft as silk, with a hint of warmth and a faint fragrance.

Seeing his expression change from gloomy to sunny, Yunzhi found it a little funny. This little guy could be incredibly mature at times, taking meticulous care of people, but at other times he was like a child, which made her feel a strange warmth in her heart.

Seeing him stroke the inner armor, she blushed slightly. It had just been taken off her, and she felt a little uncomfortable as his hand caressed her. She quickly interrupted him, saying, "Alright, put it away!"

"Hehe. Consider this a token of our love!" Xiao Bai chuckled as he put away the inner armor, winked at Yun Zhi, and said with a hint of teasing.

"Pah! What kind of token of love is that? It sounds awful!" Yunzhi blushed slightly upon hearing this and playfully tapped his head. "You little rascal, you're so young and already learning bad habits!"

Seeing her charming appearance, Xiao Bai's heart stirred. Thinking of their impending separation, he couldn't help himself. He opened his arms and whispered to her, "Yunzhi, I want to hug you!"

Yunzhi was taken aback. She hadn't expected this guy to push his luck. She wanted to refuse him, but seeing the reluctance in his eyes and remembering that he hadn't done anything out of line these past few days, a hint of softness flashed in her eyes. She lowered her gaze, neither agreeing nor denying.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai knew she had agreed, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He reached out and hugged her slender waist, which was bound by a blue ribbon, and pulled her into his arms.

Feeling the soft, trembling body in his arms, Xiao Bai held her tightly in his embrace, inhaling her delicate fragrance, and nuzzled her smooth forehead with his chin.

Yunzhi's feelings were somewhat complicated. She had cultivated alone for so many years, never expecting that her trip to the Monster Mountain Range to find the Purple Spirit Crystal would lead her to a little boy.

Thinking of this, she sighed inwardly, and took the initiative to stretch out her pair of jade-like arms, which were as white as snow, to hug Xiao Bai's waist, and rest her head in his chest.

"Are you really not coming with me?" Yunzhi felt the strong heartbeat in his body. Thinking about this separation, she didn't know when they would see each other again, and couldn't help but bring up the previous events again.

"Once I settle some things, we'll meet again. I have a feeling that day isn't too far off!" Xiao Bai gently stroked her hair, finding it somewhat amusing that Yunzhi no longer mentioned having a friend.

However, thinking about some things that might happen in the future, he fixed his gaze and decided that he wouldn't make things difficult for her this time.

"Hmm!" This answer was expected, and Yunzhi hadn't thought he would agree, so she could only nod.
