NOVEL NEXT Chapter 207: The Vacuum
“Yanran! Xiao Yan! Are you both okay?!”
Yun Yun turned her head to inquire about the condition of Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan. Nalan Yanran nodded absentmindedly, then suddenly froze.
Teacher knows Xiao Yan?
In Nalan Yanran’s confusion, Xiao Yan, supported by Xiao Yixian, responded in a subdued tone.
“I’m fine, Sister Yun…” Then Xiao Yan looked towards the purple-haired woman facing Hai Bodong in mid-air, his expression questioning. “Sister Yun, who is..”
Seeing the situation, it seemed that the purple-haired woman had come to assist them with Sister Yun.
But who exactly was she?
(Ah~~~ So it’s her.)
Suddenly, Yao Chen’s voice from the ring spoke up, seeming to recognize the identity of the purple-haired woman, leaving Xiao Yan stunned.
(Senior Yao, do you know her?)
(What are you talking about? Haven’t you seen her before too?)
(Huh? Have I seen her too?)
As Xiao Yan was filled with question marks, the purple-haired woman turned slightly and looked down at Xiao Yan.
She grinned, showing a rather hearty smile.
“Long time no see, Xiao Yan~”
“Huh?”
The purple-haired woman’s greeting left Xiao Yan momentarily dumbfounded.
Does she know me? Have we met before?
However, the purple-haired woman paid no mind to Xiao Yan’s confusion and casually placed her hand on her hip.
“The rest of this is up to us now. You just stay there and play with my son~”
“Your son?”
The purple-haired woman’s words further confused Xiao Yan.
Then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
“Roar~~~”
“Huh?!”
Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Yan was tackled to the ground by a figure. Beside him, Xiao Yixian was also startled by this sudden attack.
“Xiao Yan! Are you okay?!”
“I’m fine…”
As Xiao Yan began to respond, he felt his cheek being licked. When he looked closely, he saw a face full of excitement and joy—a beast’s face in his field of vision, making him exclaim in surprise.
“Little Lion King?!”
That’s right!
The one currently pinning Xiao Yan down was none other than the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King from the Magic Beast Mountain Range!
“Roar!”
Upon hearing Xiao Yan recognize him, the Little Lion King became even more excited, sticking out his tongue and continuously licking Xiao Yan’s face, making Xiao Yan uncomfortable as he pushed the lion’s head away.
“Don’t lick me, it’s ticklish!”
Then, Xiao Yan suddenly realized.
She just said this was her son…
Finally, Xiao Yan’s mind reacted, and he stared abruptly at the purple-haired woman in mid-air.
“You’re the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King?!”
“Haha~~~ Didn’t expect that, did you?” The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King chuckled, arms crossed, looking up and laughing heartily. Then she glanced sideways at Yun Yun. “I thought it was just a joke, but I never expected you to actually send the Body Transformation Pill.”
“Since I made that promise to you, of course, I had to follow through.”
Yun Yun responded firmly. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King then frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, and tugged at her collar, exposing her magnificent chest a bit.
“Speaking of which, clothes are so uncomfortable to wear. I feel like my whole body is bound.” With that, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King looked at Yun Yun and asked, “Can I take it off?”
“No.”
Upon hearing the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King’s question, Yun Yun’s face darkened, rejecting her without hesitation.
“Now that you’ve transformed into a human, you should have the basic human sense of shame, and clothes are a must.”
“Tch! You humans are really troublesome.”
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King pouted unhappily, leaving Xiao Yan utterly speechless. He gazed at the Little Lion King still lying on top of him.
She’s the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King?!
“You–you–you–aren’t you a male?!”
Previously, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King’s voice had sounded deep and distinctly male. How did it turn into a woman after transforming into human form?!
“Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?” Upon hearing Xiao Yan’s question, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King furrowed her brows, placing one hand on her hip and leaning slightly forward, looking at Xiao Yan as if he were a fool. “Can male lions give birth to cubs?”
“…”
With one sentence, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King left Xiao Yan completely speechless, and he could only look back at the Little Lion King still lying on top of him.
She’s right—what male lion can give birth to cubs?
“To be honest, constantly being called the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King does sound quite awkward. It feels like I’ve transformed yet it’s as if I haven’t.” The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King lightly stroked her chin, then turned her gaze towards Yun Yun, grinning widely. “Since you gave me the Body Transformation Pill, I’ll give you the privilege to name me something nice.”
Yun Yun fell silent for a moment, then looked at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and slowly spoke.
“I’m not great with names, but if you don’t mind, let’s call you Zi Yun.”
Rather than saying she wasn’t good with names, Yun Yun simply didn’t want to waste too much brainpower on naming the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and just gave her own name for her to use.
“Huh~~~ Zi Yun? Sounds pretty good.”
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King nodded in satisfaction, then looked towards Bai Ya.
“Hey! I’m now called Zi Yun! Got it, kid?!”
“Who cares what you’re called?!”
Just now, Zi Yun and her group had left him and Lu Man to chat among themselves, making Bai Ya feel deeply insulted!
How many years had it been since he had been treated with such disdain by others?!
With a flash of ferocity in his long snake-like body, Bai Ya opened his large mouth wide and hissed at Zi Yun.
“I’ll swallow you up!”
“Swallow me?”
Zi Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, then suddenly erupted with Dou Qi. The shadow of her original body appeared behind her, emitting a thunderous lion’s roar, her face showing a fierce smile.
“Then come and try it! Both of us are Rank 6 magical beasts, it’s not certain who will swallow whom!”
Sensing the momentum emanating from Zi Yun, both Bai Ya and Lu Man’s faces darkened.
9 Star Dou Emperor!
Currently, within the entire Jia Ma Empire, only Jia Xing Tian could compare to her!
And there was also Hai Bodong, a 6 Star Dou Emperor, and Yun Yun, a 3 Star Dou Emperor below.
The outcome was clear without needing to fight!
“Lu Man! We can’t take that girl away! Retreat!”
“Damn it!”
Lu Man looked resentfully at Yun Yun in front of him, filled with unwillingness.
It was so close! Just a little bit more!
Why did two Dou Emperors suddenly interfere?!
Although filled with such unwillingness, Lu Man knew Bai Ya was right. With 3 Dou Emperors here, one being at the peak, Qing Lin clearly couldn’t be taken away!
Staying here any longer was unwise; if they didn’t leave now, they wouldn’t be able to leave even if they wanted to!
“Retreat!”
Lu Man made a swift decision, disappearing in an instant, with Bai Ya following closely behind, quickly flying away, leaving Zi Yun visibly annoyed, baring her teeth.
“Hey! Are they just running away?!”
Saying this, Zi Yun gestured as if to chase after them, but Yun Yun intervened.
“Don’t chase them. Those two are from the Sky Serpent Mansion. They’ve been driven away; there’s no need to stir up more trouble.”
“Alright.” Although Zi Yun was a bit displeased, she complied, crossing her arms and lightly tilting her head. “You gave me the Body Transformation Pill, so whatever you say goes. Besides, I don’t have any deep grudges against them.”
Immediately, Zi Yun flashed over to where Xiao Yan lay pinned under the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, squatting down beside him with a worried look in her eyes.
“Xiao Yan, are you okay?”
“I’m fine—Uh?!”
Just as Xiao Yan spoke, his pupils suddenly dilated, his face turning blood-red, and his brain beginning to overload, with faint white steam even appearing above his head.
Firstly, Xiao Yan was lying down.
Secondly, Zi Yun was wearing a short skirt.
Furthermore, Zi Yun was squatting beside Xiao Yan with her legs apart.
Most importantly, Zi Yun wasn’t wearing anything underneath! She doesn’t wear any underwear!
Pfft!
Xiao Yan’s innocent brain instantly crashed, blood spraying from his nose and his eyes gradually losing focus, his consciousness becoming increasingly hazy.
“Xiao Yan?!”
Xiao Yan’s sudden condition startled the Xiao Yixian, her eyes filled with panic, not understanding why Xiao Yan suddenly started bleeding from his nose?!
In contrast to Xiao Yixian’s panic, Yechen inside the ring shook her head in disappointment.
Embarrassing, how embarrassing!
You merely saw a glimpse of a girl’s naked pussy and already out for the count, how can you call yourself a man!?
“Hey! Xiao Yan?! What’s wrong with you?!”
Zi Yun was also shocked by Xiao Yan’s appearance, thinking it was because her son was pressing on him. She quickly reached out to lift the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King off, then patted Xiao Yan’s cheek with a look of confusion in her eyes.
What’s wrong with this kid all of a sudden?
“You–!”
Behind Zi Yun, Yun Yun’s voice, suppressing her anger, rang out. She then grabbed Zi Yun by the collar and pulled her up, saying word by word.
“You’re wearing a skirt with nothing underneath, can you be more careful?!”
“Huh? Of what?”
Zi Yun raised an eyebrow, wearing an expression that completely showed she didn’t understand what Yun Yun was talking about.
Seeing Zi Yun’s genuinely puzzled expression, Yun Yun couldn’t help but slap her face.
Well, it’s really not possible to expect a newly transformed magical beast to have human decency right away. Let’s teach her slowly.
Then, Yun Yun looked strangely at Xiao Yan, who was almost unconscious.
By the way, just one look and he’s like this, how innocent can Xiao Yan be?
If he found out what she did that day…
Yun Yun pressed her temples with a headache and dared not think further.
“Teacher.”
Just as Yun Yun was secretly suffering from a headache, Nalan Yanran came over with Qing Lin in her arms, her gaze shifting between Xiao Yan and Yun Yun with suspicion.
“Do… you… know Xiao Yan?”
“Huh? Uh…”
Nalan Yanran’s question caught Yun Yun off guard, and looking at Nalan Yanran’s puzzled eyes, she felt deeply guilty.
This was the boy Yanran liked, and he was also her fiancé…
Immediately, Yun Yun calmed her restless heart and tried to maintain a calm expression, nodding slightly in response.
“Yeah, we’ve met a few times before.”
Afraid that Nalan Yanran would delve deeper into this question, Yun Yun quickly changed the subject.
“By the way, how did you end up here?”
“Well, it’s like this. When I finished training yesterday…”
Listening to Yun Yun’s question, Nalan Yanran’s attention was indeed diverted, and she solemnly recounted overhearing Yun Leng’s conversation with another person by accident, as well as her reason for secretly coming to the Mo Clan.
However, because Nalan Yanran herself heard it very dimly, she could only describe it vaguely, telling Yun Yun all the keywords she heard.
After hearing Nalan Yanran’s account, Yun Yun’s face turned extremely dark.
Yun Leng…
Previously, Yun Yun had some suspicions. Since she was usually not at Yun Lan Sect, most of the affairs inside the sect were managed by Yun Leng. Therefore, Yun Leng naturally became Yun Yun’s primary suspect.
And Nalan Yanran’s account undoubtedly confirmed Yun Leng’s suspicion!
The first thought that arose in Yun Yun’s mind right now was to go back to Yun Lan Sect and chop Yun Leng into pieces!
However, soon Yun Yun calmed down and forcibly suppressed her inner urge.
Although Yun Lan Sect was managed by Yun Leng, the other elders could not possibly be unaware of the things Yun Ye had said they had done secretly.
Yet Yun Yun had not heard any of the elders report to her until now!
In that case, there was only one possibility.
Those elders of Yun Lan Sect, along with Yun Leng, were all birds of a feather, all on the same side!
“Yanran.” Yun Yun looked at Nalan Yanran and said in a deep voice, “Don’t go to Yun Lan Sect for the time being. Go back to your family. If someone from Yun Lan Sect asks you to return, just say there are important matters at home that make it inconvenient to leave.”
“Why—why is that?”
Nalan Yanran instinctively asked, and Yun Yun sighed deeply, speaking calmly.
“There are some internal problems in Yun Lan Sect. You don’t need to know the specific details for now. Just stay away from Yun Lan Sect for a while to avoid getting involved.”
“…I understand, Master.”
Nalan Yanran paused, then nodded lightly in agreement.
Watching Yun Yun’s solemn instructions to Nalan Yanran, Hai Bodong couldn’t help but shake his head.
“Heh, it seems being a sect master isn’t easy for you, Yun lass.”
“The responsibility is mine; I failed to discipline properly as the sect master.”
Facing Hai Bodong’s sigh, Yun Yun took all the responsibility upon herself.
The problems currently appearing in Yun Lan Sect ultimately stemmed largely from herself.
She was the sect master of Yun Lan Sect and should have personally handled and supervised all of the sect matters, not just shrugged her shoulders and said “I didn’t know how.” when the elders asked her to do so.
As the sect master, she was doing a terrible job!
“Sect Master Yun…”
At the sound of this soft call, Yun Yun turned her head and saw Yue Mei supporting Xiao Li as they walked slowly. Nalan Yanran hurried forward with concern.
“Xiao Li! Are you okay?!”
“Don’t worry, I’m just a little exhausted.” Xiao Li smiled lightly and waved her hand, then looked at Yun Yun solemnly. “Sect Master Yun, by tonight, everyone in the Mo Clan should know about the destruction of the Mo Clan by the Jia Ma Empire.”
“Of course, the murderer is from the Snake People Clan and has nothing to do with the Jia Ma Royal Family or Yun Lan Sect.”
?!
Xiao Li’s words caught Yun Yun off guard.
“How could it have nothing to do with Yun Lan Sect? This…”
Although Yun Lan Sect did not directly participate in the Mo Clan’s slave business, it was precisely because of Yun Lan Sect taking the Mo Clan bribe that the Jia Ma Empire had never dared to act against the Mo Clan.
Under such circumstances, how could it have nothing to do with Yun Lan Sect?!
“Please calm down, Sect Master Yun.” Xiao Li raised a hand slightly to signal Yun Yun to calm down. “Among the current problems in Yun Lan Sect, the Mo Clan is just one of them. It is not necessary to convict those people by blaming it all on the Mo Clan.”
“I will discuss the specific details with you later. For now, I would like to ask you a serious question.”
Xiao Li’s expression turned slightly serious as she asked each word.
“May I ask if you have the determination to destroy the Yun Lan Sect with your own hands?”
