An Jun Yue carried Qing Ran and followed Liu Li when he flew off. An Jun Yue has already been recuperating for more than half a month, his power has been restored by nearly 50%, so he was able to follow the injured Liu Li with ease.
Seeing that Liu Li found a cave to heal from afar, An Jun Yue stood quietly holding Qing Ran next to a century-old tree outside the cave. This tree has already cultivated a spirit, a small green wooden man with legs and arms. An Jun Yue saw that Qing Ran really liked him, tree spirits are also very kind, so he let the tree spirit to play with Qing Ran.
An Jun Yue silently stood on a tree branch watching the cave, planning to stay here and protect Liu Li. Since Liu Li doesn’t want his identity to be revealed, then he’ll just protect him in the dark.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed by, going straight to the cave where Liu Li is. An Jun Yue knew it wasn’t good, so he handed Qing Ran to the tree spirit, then hurriedly flew towards the cave.
When An Jun Yue got closer, he saw Liu Li’s Neidan being taken away by a skinny middle-aged monk. An Jun Yue quickly analysed the situation, knowing that the monk’s Dharma is profound, it’s hard to guarantee Liu Li’s safety if he acted alone...
An Jun Yue came up with an idea, seeing the determined look on Liu Li’s face, knowing it was going to be tough, An Jun Yue took out a white jade ring from his storage ring and threw it towards Liu Li. This was an amulet made by An Jun Yue’s Shifu, it can withstand attacks that aren’t stronger than his Shifu’s prowess…
“Junior An Jun Yue greets the great master.”
An Jun Yue put away the jade ornament that concealed his aura. He carried a gentle and humble smile and slowly walked out, he greeted the thin monk.
Zhi Guang saw that the man was an elegant young man of high cultivation, although dissatisfied with him saving the fox demon, he didn’t turn right away, just put his hands together as a reply.
“Why would the young benefactor save the fox demon? You should know that demons harm humans.”
“The master has misunderstood, this junior is not trying to save the fox demon, but to catch it to make elixirs…”
An Jun Yue’s smiling words stunned the monk and the fox. Liu Li’s heart that was relieved suddenly tightened, the pain of injuries were overshadowed by his anxiety. He stared at An Jun Yue closely, wanting to know whether what he said was true or false.
If not for the fact that he didn’t even have the energy to talk, he would definitely ask about it clearly!
“Oh? What medicine uses this thousand-year-old fox to make an elixir?”
Monk Zhi Guang looked directly at An Jun Yue, his words full of suspicion.
“Of course it’s not just any ordinary medicine. May I know the master’s Dharma name?”
An Jun Yue is still humble, with no doubts or suspicions.
“My name is Zhi Guang.”
Monk Zhi Guang really likes his respectful attitude, so his own attitude would naturally be better.
“Great Master Zhi Guang, truth be told, my master is better at alchemy, he recently made a fire element pill, taking it can add 30 years of cultivation…”
An Jun Yue saw that Zhi Guang’s face turned greedy and laughed coldly in his heart, but became more respectful on the surface.
“Cultivators of the fire element or yang attribute can add even more!”
“Amitabha! Your master is such an expert!”
Monk Zhi Guang chanted the Buddha’s name with an envious tone.
“The master’s the smart one.”
An Jun Yue looked serious and said some flattering words, giving Zhi Guang some face.
“Unfortunately, my master has collected all the materials, but couldn’t find the most suitable herb, so we sent some of our senior and junior brothers to the mountain to search. This junior was lucky enough to find the whereabouts of this fox a few days ago, I was overjoyed and wanted to catch it, but I didn’t cultivate enough and was hurt by this fox, I lost a lot of power…”
When An Jun Yue said this, his face became slightly embarrassed. He even glared angrily at Liu Li in the ball of light.
Liu Li was shocked by the resentment in his eyes, he’s too good at lying!
Liu Li was speechless by his nonsense, although he’s seen a lot of human behaviours, but never seen one lie to such an extent! In addition to those real emotions, if not for them getting along for half a month, he might believe his lies too…
Zhi Guang slowly nodded, he saw that An Jun Yue was indeed lacking in power, plus, the eyes can best reflect the person’s true emotions. The resentment in An Jun Yue’s eyes couldn’t be hidden and of course, didn’t escape Zhi Guang’s sight. Zhi Guang only sighed, scared that this lad has no humility on the surface, maybe he is no joke, but he no longer suspects that he’s trying to save the fox demon.
“The master knows too right? When speaking of this fire element pill, what could be more suitable than the blood and Neidan of this thousand-year-old fox? So, as bold as I am, I hope the master will give up the fox demon and its Neidan to this junior. Of course…”
An Jun Yue saw that Zhi Guang no longer doubts him, discreetly smiled, and took out a strong pill.
“Of course this junior can’t just take the master’s items for free, here I have my master’s first-class pill, if used immediately, it can add 10 years of cultivation, this junior will gift this to the master.”
An Jun Yue took out a porcelain bottle from the ring in his sleeve and slowly opened the cork. A strange fragrance wafted out. Zhi Guang’s eyes lit up, knowing this was a really good thing.
“The benefactor is too polite, you can give this fox demon to your master to make elixirs. I shouldn’t accept it, how can I take something so precious?”
Liu Li saw Zhi Guang smiling more and more fondly and scorned. If not for the pill that could increase his cultivation more than his Neidan, he would not believe that the monk was so generous to let go!
But such a precious pill, how can he give it to that damned monk? I want it too!
Liu Li wailed pitifully at An Jun Yue. It’s a pity that An Jun Yue can’t understand a word he is saying right now…
An Jun Yue doesn’t have the energy to acknowledge Liu Li’s cries right now. He enthusiastically stuffed the porcelain bottle into Zhi Guang’s hand.
“Master, please be happy. If my master knows, he would blame this junior for not knowing manners.”
Zhi Guang laughed out loud, half-pushing away and half-accepting, then gave Liu Li’s Neidan to An Jun Yue.
An Jun Yue took the Neidan and promptly put it in his ring. He breathed out slowly, ‘I finally got it!’
An Jun Yue waved his hand at the ball of light, and Liu Li flew out from the ball of light. An Jun Yue almost shed tears as he saw Liu Li in pain, he couldn’t help but feel the pain in his heart. (Liu Li: My heart hurts for that pill! Give it to me! Give me…)
Liu Li’s right foreleg was wounded by what seemed to be a burn, a flash of anger flickered in An Jun Yue’s eyes.
“Today I got to meet the great master, this junior is very lucky.”
When An Jun Yue looked towards Zhi Guang again, the warm humble smile returned, letting Zhi Guang feel comfortable.
“This bottle of medicinal oil is made by this junior, take a drop when practising, you can get twice the result with half the effort.”
An Jun Yue took out a small bottle from his sleeve and put it in Zhi Guang’s hand.
“I’ll gift this to the master to show the admiration of this junior towards the master.”
Zhi Guang denied in two sentences, but still happily accepted it. Liu Li on the other hand was upset, ‘How can he simply give people good things? Give it to me, give it all to me!’
An Jun Yue didn’t acknowledge the Liu Li inside the ball of light, carefully urging Zhi Guang,
“Master may wish to use the medicinal oil first when taking the pill, it will definitely increase the master’s power.”
Zhi Guang laughingly expressed his thanks. It was obvious that he really likes An Jun Yue, he even told An Jun Yue where he lives, wanting him to visit in his free time.
An Jun Yue lowered his lids to hide his impatience. He chatted with Zhi Guang again for a bit and finally sent him away.
When he couldn’t feel Zhi Guang’s qi anymore, An Jun Yue put away his smile. He wordlessly embraced the floating ball of light.
Lightly scattering the ball of light, Liu Li’s small body fell into An Jun Yue’s arms.
“I have wronged you.”
An Jun Yue lightly said, warm enough to make Liu Li have the urge to cry. An Jun Yue’s care for him is something Liu Li has never felt before, making his heart move…
Suddenly thinking of that pill, Liu Li’s small paw grabbed onto An Jun Yue’s robe, wanting to teach him a lesson, but forgot about the injury on his right paw, feeling the pain once he moved, tears fell down.
“Don’t move, your injuries are heavy.”
An Jun Yue carefully grasped his right paw, then changed the protection amulet back into a ring and put it back on Liu Li’s left paw.
“This ring can automatically protect your true form, I’ll give it to you.”
Liu Li looked at the white jade ring on his paw, then looked at An Jun Yue’s warm smiling face, feeling very comfortable and sweet. An Jun Yue looked at the fox formed Liu Li, thinking that he’s very cute, especially the pair of big watery eyes. An Jun Yue couldn’t help but lightly kiss in between his eyes. Liu Li trembled, infatuation flashed through his eyes.
“Alright, Liu Li, reabsorb your Neidan first.”
An Jun Yue took out the Neidan from his ring and put it next to Liu Li’s mouth, Liu Li swallowed it, reabsorbing the Neidan. Red light flashes on Liu Li’s body, looking a lot more energetic, but still not in human form.
“Jun Yue, I don’t have enough demon power to maintain my human form, I’ll have to cultivate for a bit.” (Bing Ling: Oh~ You’ve changed the way you call him just like that~ Liu Li: I’m happy!)
Liu Li got back the energy to talk, although his voice is weak, there is obvious joy in it.
“Alright, I’ll bring you, don’t worry.”
An Jun Yue held Liu Li’s body tightly, using one hand to lightly stroke Liu Li’s fur. The more An Jun Yue looked, the more he felt that this kind of Liu Li was very cute!
Liu Li huffed comfortably. Suddenly thinking of the pill, he hurriedly used his uninjured left paw to hook on An Jun Yue’s collar.
“The pill! How can you give such a high-quality thing to the damned monk?! And that medicinal oil, why would you give that bald donkey more benefits?!”
An Jun Yue was taken aback by Liu Li’s roar, but smiled strangely after understanding what he meant.
“Do you think I would be so nice?”
