Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 241 You despised her and ran away overnight!

"Xiao Bai, look at me!"

Wearing a slightly tight dress, Zi Yan couldn't wait to jump to Xiao Bai's side.

Seeing his gaze fall upon her, she deliberately stretched lazily, her curvaceous figure becoming even more alluring, and her amethyst-like eyes blinked, sparkling with desire.

Then, a pair of slender arms clung to Xiao Bai's right hand, her cherry lips parted, and her breath was as fragrant as orchids:

Do you like it?

Xiao Bai shivered inexplicably. He could tell at a glance that this girl was imitating Cai Lin's posture and Yun'er's eyes.

If an ordinary person did this, it would probably be considered a poor imitation, but Zi Yan is different.

At this moment, she possessed a commanding figure and exquisite features, which, combined with the heroic spirit between her brows, gave her a unique charm.

As Xiao Bai's gaze wandered over the smooth, jade-like skin on his arm, he suddenly felt a burning gaze, like a sharp sword piercing towards him.

Xiao Yunyun's pretty face was filled with malice, her willow eyebrows stood up, and her big eyes seemed to be spitting fire, burning someone to death.

"Xiao Bai!"

"How old is she? She doesn't know any better, and you're going to let her act up like that!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

Even Ah Niu stopped calling out, which shows just how furious Sect Master Yun must be!

Feeling utterly helpless, how old was she?

She is older than Cai Lin, and may even be older than you and Cai Lin combined.

However, considering Zi Yan's consistent image, he coughed lightly, withdrew his arm, and tapped Da Zi Yan on the head:

"What you like isn't cute at all!"

Covering her head, Zi Yan looked at him with disdain and pouted:

"Don't brag. You clearly liked her before. Don't think I didn't know. Sometimes the way you looked at Sister Cailin, it was exactly like that!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

Meeting two pairs of disdainful eyes, I felt extremely embarrassed.

"You don't seem surprised at all by our appearance?"

Seeing his embarrassed look, Yun Yun finally softened a little, glared at him, and changed the subject.

"Yes! It's because of some reasons related to my cultivation that you were all affected!" Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.

"Can it turn back?"

Yun Yun's face showed slight anxiety. If she couldn't transform it, she, as the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, would make a fool of herself.

Xiao Bai smiled slightly and reassured them, "Don't worry, this is only temporary. I can feel that special energy within you is dissipating!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan pouted, seemingly somewhat disappointed:

"It's only temporary? I quite like it the way it is now!"

Seeing Yun Yun looking at it, it immediately stuck out its tongue, its eyes still sparkling with mischievousness. Although it had grown up, it still had the heart of a child.

He leaned closer and said with a grin:

"Sister Yunyun, are you jealous?"

Yun Yun blushed slightly and gave her a sidelong glance:

"Nonsense!"

Seeing Yun Yun blush, Zi Yan laughed even more unrestrainedly, deliberately moving closer and blinking her amethyst-like eyes, teasingly saying, "Oh dear, little sister Yun Yun."

I was just joking around when I suddenly noticed that the small person opposite me was gradually growing taller, and I was startled.

Looking down, he immediately noticed a faint purple light emanating from his body, and his plump body was visibly shriveling up.

"!" Zi Yan.

In the blink of an eye, a stunningly beautiful woman with a slender figure transformed back into a little girl, her tight-fitting clothes instantly becoming loose and baggy.

"Hehe. What did you just call me?"

A chilling voice reached her ears, and Zi Yan couldn't help but shiver.

Zi Yan looked up and saw the familiar perspective return.

Yun Yun's figure had recovered, her features were exquisite, and her temperament was aloof. At this moment, she was looking down at him with a half-smile in her eyes.

"Hehe, Sister Yunyun, you're so beautiful!"

Zi Yan quickly grabbed her hand and shook it, her little face full of a flattering smile, trying to get away with it by being cute.

Yun Yun raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, and reached out her delicate hand to pinch Zi Yan's fair cheek.

Her beautiful eyes turned to Xiao Bai beside her, and she said resentfully:

"Don't use that kind of power on me again!"

This power was too terrifying; not only did my body revert to that of a child, but my cultivation also seemed to have regressed.

Although she didn't know what it was, she wouldn't ask since he didn't tell her.

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes speechlessly. Did he think he could just use this thing whenever he wanted?

"Oh, right!"

Yun Yun seemed to remember something, patted her head, and said:

"This morning, Elder Hai came to the Yunlan Sect to ask if you had finished your seclusion!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled. Hai Bodong knew that he was in seclusion, yet he still made a special trip to Yunlan Sect to inquire about him. What was going on?

Did he say what it was about?

Yun Yun shook her head and said softly:

"He didn't go into details, but judging from his expression, it seemed like things were a bit urgent."

"I'll go check on the Mittel family right now!"

Xiao Bai nodded slightly, and energy wings appeared behind him. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and headed towards the capital city.

Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and he looked toward the main hall of the Yunlan Sect.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his movements, Yun Yun gracefully walked to his side and asked curiously.

"Let's head straight to the sect's main hall; they're almost at the Yunlan Sect!"

Xiao Bai shook his head, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. How did that guy end up in the Jia Ma Empire and hang out with Hai Bodong?

A moment later

In the main hall of the Yunlan Sect, Xiao Bai sat in the main seat, while Yun Yun and Zi Yan sat beside him, curiously observing the unfamiliar figure who entered the hall.

"Haha, Xiao Bai, your cultivation has broken through to the Dou Huang realm! Congratulations!"

As Hai Bodong entered the main hall, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw the imposing young man in black robes above him. He immediately burst into laughter and cupped his hands in greeting.

The momentum of that previous breakthrough had already been sensed in the capital, and everyone knew who had caused the commotion.

"Mr. Hai, you're too kind. Please have a seat!" Xiao Bai smiled slightly and gestured for him to sit down.

Seeing Xiao Bai acting like the master of the house, while Sect Master Yun smiled and simply sat quietly to the side watching, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It seems the Yunlan Sect will now belong to the Xiao family!

After exchanging pleasantries with Hai Bodong, Xiao Bai's eyebrows twitched slightly as he looked at a figure standing below.

Upon seeing this, the figure, dressed in blood and with half of his face covered by a silver mask, immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Your subordinate Ji Bu greets the City Lord!"

Yun Yun looked at the person beside her with surprise. He was a city lord?

Just how many identities is this guy hiding from me?

He muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Xiao Bai and Ji Bu, his heart filled with doubt and curiosity.

In my perception, this man, who was icy cold and exuded a fierce aura, was an eight-star Dou Wang, a top-tier expert in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

Seemingly noticing Yun Yun's gaze, Xiao Bai smiled slightly, turned to look at her, and spoke gently:

"Yun'er, this is my subordinate in Zixiao City of the Black Corner Region."

Yun Yun nodded, though she still had some doubts, but she didn't ask any further questions.

Get up!

Xiao Bai's voice echoed in the hall, his tone carrying a hint of doubt.

"You came to the Gama Empire to find me. Has something happened in Zixiao City?"

Ji Bu stood up and stood respectfully to the side, his eyes lowered, clearly showing great respect for Xiao Bai.

He took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Reporting to the City Lord, Zixiao City is largely unaffected. However, there's been an unexpected situation regarding the upcoming auction, which requires your decision!"

Xiao Bai frowned slightly, signaling him to continue.

"Han Feng, the Medicine King of Maple City, has brought a seventh-grade pill to participate in this auction and wishes to invite the City Lord for a chat!"

"I have come here for two reasons: first, to seek the city lord's opinion; and second, because seventh-grade pills are precious, and the auction is approaching, without a powerful figure to oversee it, unexpected events may occur!"

In the Black Corner Region, there have been instances of people robbing auction items in previous years, but this time, Zixiao City is not having a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) overseeing the operation.

If something is forcibly taken from one's own territory, Zixiao City will become a laughing stock in the entire Black Corner Region. What face will it have left to stand in the Black Corner Region?

"Han Feng?"

Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, then realized what that seventh-grade pill was: the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill!

In the original story, this guy auctioned off this pill and demanded that the winner unconditionally agree to two conditions. In the end, after a struggle, it ended up in Xiao Yan's hands, and the matter was dropped.

The latest novel is first published here!

But if this guy is going to auction it, why bother with him?

Do you want to die?

Below, Hai Bodong, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but look up at Xiao Bai. He hadn't expected that this guy was actually in the same industry.

Moreover, just hearing about the auction in Zixiao City makes it seem much more upscale than the Mittel Auction House.

"How's the two items I asked you to keep an eye on coming along?"

After pondering for a while, not knowing why Han Feng wanted to see him, Xiao Bai was too lazy to think about it and asked about the thing he cared about most.

He wasn't particularly interested in the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill. Although it's said that destruction precedes reconstruction, reconstruction still requires a chance.

Moreover, since this item was made by Han Feng, it needs to be used with caution, so I don't want to bother with that.

"We've already received the items from this auction catalog. The owners of both items are highly skilled and unwilling to trade privately with the auction house. We'll have to buy them back from the auction house later!"

Ji Bu seemed to have been prepared, and bowed as he blurted out the answer.

As for how the city lord knew about these two items in advance, they were curious but didn't ask too many questions.

Xiao Bai nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, thank you for your hard work!"

As long as the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Diagram and the Three Thousand Thunder Movement Technique are in order, Xiao Bai doesn't care whether or not they go through the auction process.

"Serving the city lord is my duty!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai smiled noncommittally and asked, "How much time is left until the auction?"

Five days!

"Five days?"

Xiao Bai's gaze froze, and he wished he could slap him to death. Five days meant he had to leave tomorrow, or he wouldn't be able to get back in time.

I originally planned to visit the Snake People and see Cai Lin before leaving, but now it seems I won't be able to go.

Seeing Xiao Bai's displeasure, Ji Bu quickly explained:

"Please forgive us, City Lord. We didn't mean to disturb you, but Elder Ling was absent, and Han Feng's sudden appearance caught us off guard!"

"Is Elder Ling not here?"

Xiao Bai's brows furrowed, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty. Before he left, Ling Ying had told him that she would be stationed in Zixiao City for a period of time. Could it be...?

Has Xun'er returned to her ethnic group?

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai suddenly couldn't sit still!

"Since the city lord left, Elder Ling killed several rule-breakers in the city, thus intimidating the entire Zixiao City, and has not appeared since!"

Hearing this, Xiao Bai composed himself, suppressed his unease, and said in a deep voice:

"Have either of you ladies visited Zixiao City recently?"

"No!"

Ji Bu shook his head and continued:

"Since the city lord left, the two young ladies returned to Canaan Academy and have not returned to Zixiao City!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's heart tightened, and he no longer had any intention of delaying. He wished he had a spatial passage to fly directly to Canaan Academy.

"Elder Hai, could you please take Ji Bu to the capital of Jiama and tell Jia Xingtian to give the medicinal herbs to Ji Bu? I'll have someone bring them back after I've refined them back in the Black Corner Region!"

Suddenly standing up, Xiao Bai looked at Hai Bodong and said urgently.

This was the condition that Jia Xingtian agreed to cede land to, and Cai Lin had already begun migrating his tribe, so he could not break his promise.

Are you leaving?

Seeing that Xiao Bai seemed eager to leave immediately, Hai Bodong was startled and quickly stood up, saying:

"Is there anything I can help you with? Do you need any assistance?"

"No need. I'll handle things over there. This alliance is newly formed, and we need manpower right now!"

Shaking his head, Xiao Bai looked at Ji Bu and said solemnly:

"Once you have the medicinal herbs, just return to Zixiao City. Don't worry about the auction!"

"yes!"

Ji Bu respectfully responded and followed Hai Bodong.

After the two figures disappeared, Xiao Bai turned around and looked at the beautiful woman who had come up behind him with a worried expression.

"I"

Before Xiao Bai could speak, a slender, white finger gently pressed against his lips. Yun Yun gently shook her head, her gaze reluctant, and softly said:

"Ah Niu, no need to explain, I know you have urgent business to attend to!"

Her voice was gentle yet firm, her eyes filled with a hint of reluctance and worry.

"However, you must be careful. The Black Corner Region is not like the Gama Empire. It's a melting pot of all sorts of people, and powerful individuals abound. A slight misstep could lead to danger!"

Xiao Bai took her hand, nodded gently, and said with a hint of apology in his voice:

"Yun'er, I'm sorry, this happened so suddenly, I have to get back as soon as possible!"

Yun Yun smiled slightly, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes:

"I understand. You don't need to apologize. Just please come back safely. I'll be waiting for you in the Gama Empire!"

Xiao Bai felt a warmth in his heart, gently pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "Don't worry, I will!"

"No! Ziyan is still here!"

Although Yun Yun longed to enjoy this farewell embrace with him, a pair of large eyes beside her, like two bright gems, blinked and quietly watched the two of them, making her feel a little shy.

"Hehe. Sister Yunyun, you guys continue, don't worry about me!" Ziyan didn't feel embarrassed at all, but was very enthusiastic.

"!" Yun Yun.

His cheeks flushed, and he gently tapped her head, his voice soft and tender, tinged with affection.

"Remember to come back and visit your sister when you have time!"

She had heard from Ah Niu that Zi Yan was also from Canaan Academy, and knowing that she would definitely have to go back this time, she felt a little reluctant.

Zi Yan covered her head and said with a grin, "I know, Sister Yun Yun! I'll definitely come back to see you!"

Looking at the two of them, Xiao Bai felt a warmth in his heart. He gently released Yun Yun, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"I'll tell her, don't worry!"

Seeing Xiao Bai's shifty eyes, Yun Yun still didn't know what was going on, and glared at him fiercely.

Only in this situation would this despicable guy be so guilty!

With a flick of her hand, a set of dark blue inner armor appeared, bearing some traces of repair.

He pressed the inner armor against Xiao Bai's chest and said softly:

"I've carefully repaired this inner armor. Although it won't be of much use to you, it's a gift from me, so you must take good care of it!"

As she spoke, a rare fierce look appeared on her pretty face:

"Don't you dare complain!"

"otherwise."

Seemingly unable to find any means of threat, his gaze wandered for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a fierce voice:

"Otherwise, I'll tell that woman you rejected her and ran away in the middle of the night!"
