Gu Lan was utterly speechless. Was this guy even human?
She had originally thought that with Xuanming Immortal Palace's resources, they could at least hold Ye Yun off for a few days. To think they couldn't even last the duration of a meal.
Looking at the Nine Revolutions Sacred Lotus, Ye Yun clearly wasn't lying. This gave her a sense of fear towards him. Could this man truly be omnipotent?
Oh right, at least he couldn't have children...
Gu Lan sighed inwardly. Ye Yun then handed the Nine Revolutions Sacred Lotus to Chen Lingyi.
"In short, this is the Nine Revolutions Sacred Lotus. With it, Lingxin can be saved."
Chen Lingyi nodded excitedly, then carefully took the Sacred Lotus, as if afraid of bumping or scratching it.
Seeing this scene, Gu Lan felt quite envious. This young girl had truly found a good master. He gave away a treasure like the Nine Revolutions Sacred Lotus without a hint of reluctance, instead appearing rather pleased.
Truly a model of mentorship, a sage among men!
In reality, Ye Yun was eagerly awaiting the system's notification, silently chanting.
"Thousand times! It must be over a thousand times!"
Such a supreme treasure, there was likely only one on the continent. If he didn't get a high rebate, it would be a huge loss.
Perhaps it was fate, but hearing his inner cry, the system, after a brief silence, slowly responded.
[You have bestowed the Nine Revolutions Sacred Lotus upon your disciple. Congratulations on activating the Ten Thousand Times Reward, and obtaining the Supreme Divine Lotus!]
[Supreme Divine Lotus: One of the Thirty-Six Supreme Treasures of the Heavenly Domain. Used to shape the body of an immortal, it can break through realms, advance cultivation, and bestow supreme divine power and eternal life!]
[Note: Due to variations in individual physiques, absorption time is unknown. Absorb with caution!]
"Holy cow!"
The reward was too explosive, and Ye Yun's attention was entirely focused on it. Lacking in formal education, he instinctively let out a shout.
His exclamation startled the others. Chen Lingyi looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Master, what did you just say? Your disciple doesn't quite understand."
Hearing this, Ye Yun snapped back to reality. Seeing everyone looking at him suspiciously, he couldn't help but clear his throat and say,
"Nothing, children shouldn't listen to idle talk."
Then, he quickly changed the subject, "Alright, let's have Miss Gu Lan quickly detoxify Lingxin."
At these words, the others also remembered, "Right, right, saving her is the most important thing."
Chen Lingxin, who had been frozen in ice, was already waiting for detoxification within the cave dwelling. Chen Lingyi and Gu Lan immediately entered, while Ye Yun waited outside with the others.
On one hand, he was there to guard against any disturbances. Of course, the main reason was that Gu Lan said Chen Lingyi would have to be unclothed during the detoxification.
Chen Lingxin was no longer a child. If he, a grown man, went in, he might not be able to bear the ordeal. So, it was better for him to wait outside.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Lingyi came running out of the cave, her joy clearly visible.
"Master! That's wonderful! Senior says my sister will recover soon!"
As she spoke, she excitedly threw herself into Ye Yun's arms, tears of gratitude welling up in her eyes.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
The stone that had been weighing on her heart had finally lifted a little. Her gratitude towards Ye Yun was beyond words.
Seeing this, Ye Yun slowly crouched down, gently stroking her small body, and said with a smile,
"It's good that she's alright. You won't have to worry about your sister anymore!"
He softly comforted Chen Lingyi, who nodded through her sobs. But after a long time, Chen Lingyi's hands still wouldn't let go of him.
This made Ye Yun a little helpless as he reminded her, "Lingyi, everyone is still watching."
But Chen Lingyi wouldn't budge. She hadn't thought that much, only burying her head in his embrace and softly saying,
"No... I feel so comfortable in Master's arms... I want to stay this comfortable forever..."
As expected, Lin Xueyan, Bai Xiaoxiao, and Xiao Xue, the three women, were all staring intently at them. Although their gazes were gentle, they seemed to be filled with power.
Lin Xueyan made the first move, looking at Ye Yun with a gentle smile.
"Is it really that comfortable? Your disciple wants a hug too!"
Then came Bai Xiaoxiao, who also extended her hands towards him, her small face looking at him earnestly.
"Master, me too!"
As for the aloof Xiao Xue, she said nothing and quietly walked in front of Ye Yun, also extending her hands. The intention was too obvious.
Even the silent black flood dragon by their side quietly moved closer, and a deep voice was heard from its vicinity.
"Big brother, I want one too."
Ye Yun's face was filled with black lines, thinking, what is this guy doing here? However, just as he finished his thought, Xiao Xue, as if telepathically connected, slapped it away hundreds of meters. Then she withdrew her delicate little hand and reached out towards Ye Yun.
"..."
Ye Yun was speechless, and what followed was even more so. As they seemed unable to decide who would get to hug him first, the three women simply surrounded him, pressing against him from the front, back, and left.
One grabbed his waist, another his neck, and another his legs. Coupled with Chen Lingyi in his arms, Ye Yun felt like he was carrying four pendants.
To the point that a passing handsome young man, glancing at Qingyun Peak and seeing this scene, silently exclaimed in his heart.
"As expected of Elder Ye, he really plays rough!"
Finally, Ye Yun couldn't bear the torment any longer. It was manageable if just one person came, but with four at once, and them fumbling all over him, even Ultraman couldn't handle such exposure.
"Divine Light Flash!"
Activating the immortal-grade movement technique, Ye Yun's figure instantly appeared several meters away. He never dreamed that the first time he formally used this technique would be to dodge his own people, not enemies.
"Master?"
Ye Yun suddenly disappeared, and the four women were stunned, looking up at him in confusion.
Ye Yun had initially intended to scold them, but seeing their confused, disappointed, and dejected expressions, he swallowed his words.
Alas, in the end, they were the disciples he had chosen. What else could he do? Spoil them.
Finally, Ye Yun said helplessly, "Alright, I've been too busy lately. Hugs and such will have to wait for another day."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xueyan and the other two didn't continue to fool around. Xiao Xue even nodded directly and said,
"Okay, Master."
Having dealt with the women's antics, Ye Yun finally let out a long sigh. Just as he was about to sit down and study something, a golden stream of light suddenly flew from a distance.
"Hmm?"
Ye Yun's brow twitched slightly. He casually caught the golden light, which turned out to be a golden talisman.
After receiving it, he heard a message from Gu Chen.
"Ye kid, hurry over to our sect. Someone from the demon race is looking for you. He claims to be a guard of the Demon Race's Eldest Princess and says he has important information to convey to you."
Upon receiving this message, Ye Yun's brow furrowed. A guard of the Demon Race's Eldest Princess? That should be Hong Ling from before...
Speaking of which, she had mentioned earlier that the demon race was planning to wage war on the human race. Counting the time, it was indeed about time.
