Besides, in a day or two, wouldn't all that money eventually be his anyway?
What he enjoyed was the process of 'congratulating Xiao Yan on his fortune'.
"Hehe, thanks Brother Yang..." Xiao Yan chuckled and turned to go outside to strip the storage rings.
Nalan Yanran looked at the interaction between Chen Yang and Xiao Yan with some envy. Their relationship was far stronger than her relationships with those in the Sect who were always hypocritical toward her. Even when she was in her Family as a child, no one from the younger generation had ever played around with her like this.
Since childhood, she had been taught to Cultivate hard, and it was still the same now... Seeing Yun Yun watching the two bicker with a happy face, Nalan Yanran sighed inwardly and then respectfully asked Yun Yun: "Teacher, when are you returning to the Sect?"
Yun Yun turned to look at Chen Yang, knowing the time for parting had come. She was about to say she would return tomorrow—intending to have one last wild night with Chen Yang—when she suddenly turned her head toward the direction of the Imperial Capital.
This was because a series of violent energy fluctuations were coming from there. Judging by the commotion, it was clearly a battle between two Dou Huang experts.
Chen Yang also stood up at this time, frowning as he looked in that direction: "Yun'er, what's in that direction?"
Yun Yun turned to Chen Yang: "It's the Imperial Capital. Perhaps Old Hai and Old Jia are sparring!"
Chen Yang shook his head upon hearing this: "No, one of them is indeed Old Hai's ice-attribute Dou Qi, but the other isn't earth-attribute; it's wood-attribute... Holy crap, Heavenly Serpent Mansion, you motherf*ckers..."
Speaking of wood-attribute, Chen Yang immediately realized: "Yun'er, my Family in the Imperial Capital is in trouble. I'm leaving first. Xiao Yan, let's go!"
As he spoke, Chen Yang flashed out the door. In the next second, he had already picked up Xiao Yan, who hadn't finished collecting the storage rings, and soared into the sky. Only Xiao Yan's words remained in the air: "Brother Yang, I haven't finished picking them up yet!"
Ge Ye stood at the door, staring blankly at Chen Yang disappearing on the horizon. After a long time, he swallowed hard: "Sect... Sect Master... that... that lord... is he... is he a Dou Zong?"
"What? Dou Zong?" Nalan Yanran was also shocked to hear Ge Ye's words. Who was a Dou Zong? Surely Xiao Yan wasn't a Dou Zong?
"Mm." Yun Yun looked toward the Imperial Capital with a worried face. She wanted to chase after them to help Chen Yang, but she also knew her strength couldn't keep up with Chen Yang, a Dou Zong, so she could only give up.
Seeing Yun Yun nod, Nalan Yanran suddenly realized. So, the Dou Zong is actually my Masters Husband? No wonder Teacher, who had Cultivated alone for so many years, had her heart captured!
...In the sky, after flying hundreds of miles, Chen Yang finally deployed his Dou Qi to protect Xiao Yan. Simultaneously, the wings on his back flashed as the low-grade earth tier Flying Dou Technique 'Phoenix Soaring Nine Heavens' unfolded. Instantly, Chen Yang's speed increased by more than three times.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, what's going on?" After Xiao Yan regained his senses, he began chewing qi recovery pills to restore his Dou Qi. Although third-tier qi recovery pills were much slower at restoring a Dou Ling's Dou Qi, it was better than nothing. After all, it was only his second day after his Breakthrough to Dou Ling, and Yao Lao hadn't had the time or herbs to refine pills for a Dou Ling to recover Dou Qi.
"In the Imperial Capital, Old Hai might be in trouble, and your sister-in-law is also in danger!" Chen Yang shouted.
"Is it Sister-in-law Xiao Yixian or Sister-in-law Qing Lin?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment.
"It should be Qing Lin!" Chen Yang wasn't actually that worried. In the direction of the Imperial Capital, his side also had two Dou Huang experts, and Jia Xingtian from the imperial Family was there as well. They could definitely hold out until he got back.
At his speed, he could reach the Imperial Capital in five minutes!
Swish!
A streak of light flashed across the sky, moving so fast the eye couldn't catch it. Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was secretly communicating with Yao Lao, preparing to use an Imperial Rank Dou Technique possession at any moment!
...Time reverted to eight minutes ago!
Jia Ma Empire, Mittel Family!
Ever since Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin returned to the Imperial Capital, they had become honored guests of the Mittel Family. The reason was that even the Mittel Family Grand Elder, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong who had been missing for decades, was extremely respectful to these two women.
What surprised Teng Shan was that an ordinary woman from their Family, Ya Fei, also commanded great respect from Old Hai. This was undoubtedly a bit of a reversal of the natural order.
It wasn't until Hai Bodong explained that these three women were all wives of his Young Lord, and that his Young Lord was a Peak Dou Huang expert, that Teng Shan finally understood and also treated them as honored guests.
Today, the three women were as usual: missing Chen Yang, Cultivating, and missing Chen Yang.
Just during lunch, a maid in a green dress, after serving the food, suddenly snatched Qing Lin and flew off toward the distance, leaving Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei stunned.
Just as the Amethyst Winged Lion King crouching at the door was about to act, Hai Bodong had already taken to the air to give chase, and a great battle erupted.
By the time the aftershocks of the battle reached Yan City and were sensed by Chen Yang, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had also joined the fray. In a two-on-one situation, Lü Man, who had transformed into a maid to kidnap Qing Lin, could gain no advantage.
"Dammit, White Fang! If you keep just watching, I'm going to die!" Lü Man shouted through gritted teeth. Of the human and beast before her, the human was only a Two-Star Dou Huang and had average strength, posing little pressure. However, that Amethyst Winged Lion King was extremely powerful. Although its energy intensity was only at the three-star level, its comprehensive combat power was easily five-star. Moreover, its Demonic Beast body was tough, and its fire attribute naturally countered her wood attribute. It was a massive pain!
"Haha, Lü Man, I didn't expect you to be chased all over the place by them. If this gets back, those people will laugh themselves to death!" Along with a mocking voice echoing from the distance, a massive Demonic Beast about ten zhang long—even longer than the Amethyst Winged Lion King—rose from the forest outside the city.
"A Sixth-Tier Magical Beast... where on earth did these guys come from, daring to barge into the Jia Ma Empire's capital?" Hai Bodong felt that things were taking a bad turn.
"Hai Bodong, leave that Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor to me. You deal with this woman!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King took the initiative to pick the stronger opponent.
"Understood!" Hai Bodong nodded and met Lü Man.
"Heh, I have no interest in playing with you. This little girl is very important to me. I'm leaving!" Saying this, Lü Man flickered and immediately fled toward the distance.
Right then, a streak of light flashed across the sky, followed by a voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation: "Oh... where do you think you're going?"
