What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility! (BTTH)
Chapter 98: Acquaintance

“Human powerhouse, what brings you to my cave?”

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King stared at the woman in front of it and asked sternly.

The woman shook the blade in her hand and her cold voice came from under her cloak.

“I came here to borrow the Purple Spirit Crystal from the Lion King.”

“Purple Spirit Crystal? You humans really dare to dream!” The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King snorted coldly. “That is the essence that my clan takes twenty years to refine. Why should I give it to someone I’ve never met?”

“You can propose the items you need, and I can exchange them with you.”

The woman’s tone wasn’t too forceful since the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King’s strength was not inferior to her own.

Hearing this, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King closed its eyes as if pondering, then opened its eyes after a moment, saying, “Alright, I’m currently in the transformation stage. As long as you can get me a Body Transformation Pill, I will give you the Purple Spirit Crystal as a gift.”

“Body Transformation Pill?”

The woman’s expression turned unsightly.

A Body Transformation Pill was a seventh-grade pill! It wasn’t worth exchanging for just a small piece of Purple Spirit Crystal. Moreover, she didn’t have the pill, and even the current-level Alchemist Guhe would find it difficult to refine successfully.

But she really needed that Purple Spirit Crystal!

“I’m sorry, I really can’t produce a Body Transformation Pill. Can we change it to other conditions?” The woman made another request. She didn’t want to provoke a conflict with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, as their strengths were evenly matched.

However, although the woman wanted to peacefully resolve the situation, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King didn’t give her any face. It turned its huge head to the side, revealing its ferocious fangs and sneered.

“I only need the Body Transformation Pill. If you don’t have it, then there’s no need to talk further. You can leave.”

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King said this, but the woman’s aura suddenly changed. She stared at the lion king in front of her in amazement.

“In that case, there’s nothing I can do.” The woman raised the longsword in her hand and pointed it directly at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. “I really need the Purple Spirit Crystal. Since you’re unwilling to exchange, I can only take it by force. I apologize in advance!”

As soon as the woman finished speaking, she charged towards the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. The lion king’s face was disdainful.

“Indeed, you humans are always like this. You act high and mighty, pretending to be righteous, but when you can’t get what you want, your true greed is revealed,” the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King said to the approaching woman before fiercely swinging its gigantic claw. “Compared to you so-called powerful humans, Xiao Yan, although just a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level), is much more formidable!”

“Xiao Yan?!”

Hearing a familiar name from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the woman was suddenly stunned. Then, she was shocked by the imposing momentum in front of her and barely dodged to the side. She stared in disbelief at the lion king.

“Wait! You just mentioned Xiao Yan…”

“Say no more!”

The woman clearly wanted to ask something, but the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King sternly interrupted her. It had lost all patience with this greedy human in front of it. Opening its blood-filled mouth, it released a scorching purple flame toward the woman. Feeling the heat of the flame, the woman’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as she quickly dodged, cursing inwardly.

Damn it! This guy never listens!

Though the woman knew that no matter what, she must focus on the battle in front of her, the mention of Xiao Yan’s name had filled her with worry.

Is the Xiao Yan she knows is the same person as the one that the lion mentioned?

If he is, then how is Xiao Yan doing now?

Xiao Yan is just a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level). Can he really survive after encountering the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King?

The woman’s thoughts were in chaos, making it difficult for her to think clearly. She was deeply worried about Xiao Yan’s safety and was too preoccupied with avoiding the attacks of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King to even counterattack.

And it was this worry that caused the woman to forget how dangerous it was to be distracted during a battle.

“Crystal Seal of the Purple!”

Finally, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King seized the woman’s moment of vulnerability. Its huge claw struck down, pinning her heavily underneath. A purple pattern appeared on the woman’s chest.

“Urgh~”

The woman, seriously injured, spat out a mouthful of blood and acutely realized that due to the Purple Crystal Seal, her strength had been reduced to that of a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level). If not for the protection of the Sea Heart Armor, her internal organs would have shattered.

Damn it…

To be distracted during a battle…

I’m truly worthless…

The woman clenched her teeth, continuously berating her own immaturity.

Now, with her strength sealed, she was no different from an ant in the eyes of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

It was already too late.

But at least, before she died…

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King looked at the woman under its foot, and a trace of doubt flashed in its eyes.

It could sense that the woman’s strength was comparable to its own. Although it didn’t feel afraid, if they fought seriously, it might end in mutual destruction.

However, it never expected to win so easily. This woman seemed to be distracted during the battle, leaving the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King puzzled.

Although in its understanding, apart from Xiao Yan, all other humans were despicable, it had never encountered someone as foolish as to be distracted during a fight.

As the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was pondering, a weak voice came from below.

“Lion King…”

“Huh?”

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King looked at the woman it had pinned down, and its brow furrowed deeply.

At this time, she still wants to say something? Beg for mercy?

She initiated the battle herself, and her unfocused mind led to her defeat. Now, what face does she have to beg for mercy?

“Xiao…Xiao Yan…” The woman stared intently at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, desperately asking, “Xiao Yan…how is he?”

“What? Xiao Yan?”

Hearing the woman’s question, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was momentarily stunned. Then, its heart tightened, and its claw that was pressing down on the woman immediately lifted. Its young beast within was full of astonishment.

What! You know Xiao Yan? Why didn’t you say so earlier!

Just as the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was contemplating how to handle this situation, Xiao Yan’s voice came from the cave behind it.

“Your son has vomited all the companion Purple Crystal Essence he swallowed. He’ll be fine when he wakes up.”

(This, this voice?!)

The woman lying on the ground heard this familiar voice, and her pupils suddenly contracted as she looked towards the enormous cave.

In her hopeful gaze, a figure emerged from the cave, holding a vial filled with purple liquid in his hand.

It was Xiao Yan!

Xiao Yan saw the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King at the entrance of the cave and extended the vial in his hand to it.

“Here, the companion Purple Crystal Essence that was extracted. Don’t give it to your son so recklessly… Huh?”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, noticing that there seemed to be a person lying behind the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. This made him slightly puzzled as he turned his body to get a better look.

At the same time, Yao Chen, who had just returned to the ring, felt a surge of excitement as she recognized who that person was.

The medicine she refined was going to be put to use!

As Yao Chen felt excited, Xiao Yan’s eyes met with the person’s, and he was suddenly stunned.

“Sister Yun Zhi?!”
