Chapter 635: Exhilaration

"Young master!"

Yu Leng and the other fox clan members were overjoyed to see Yu Xin.

Yu Xin turned and gave Yu Leng a smile, saying, "Yu Leng, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to me."

Yu Leng was covered in wounds, looking utterly miserable.

But she forgot her injuries and exclaimed in surprise, "Young... young master, you've broken through!"

Yu Xin smiled, "Thanks to Young Master Ye's pill!"

With that, Yu Xin turned and put on a cold expression, saying, "Dark Ice, didn't you just say that even if I came, I'd still be your defeated opponent? Now I'm here. Try to defeat me!"

Dark Ice was the second strongest of the Shadow Lightning Serpent clan, originally on par with Yu Xin. In a real fight, Yu Xin would likely be no match for him.

But he never expected Yu Xin to break through and reach the peak of the fifth rank!

However, since he had already spoken, he couldn't take it back. He had to steel himself and say, "Hmph! A mere fox clan dares to act arrogantly before our Shadow Lightning Serpent clan! I said it. What can you do about it?"

"Since you said it, I'll make you swallow it back!"

As the young master of her clan, Yu Xin carried a very assertive side.

In her anger, she was a woman who could rival any man.

As she spoke, Yu Xin struck a palm at Dark Ice. Dark Ice naturally wouldn't just wait to be captured; he engaged Yu Xin in battle.

The gap in cultivation levels among the demon race wasn't that pronounced. Although Yu Xin had broken through, it was impossible for her to defeat Dark Ice quickly.

Yu Leng was sweating coldly on her forehead. She had been holding on by sheer willpower, but with Yu Xin's arrival, she could no longer endure.

Just then, a pill was delivered before her.

Yu Leng looked up and saw it was none other than Ye Yuan.

"Take it. Your injuries will heal soon," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Yu Leng hesitated, and Ye Yuan added, "Many of your wounds are hidden. You actually couldn't fight long ago. You've been forcing yourself, and your injuries have worsened severely. If not treated soon, they might damage your foundation and affect your future cultivation."

Hearing this, Yu Leng's expression changed. She snatched the pill from Ye Yuan's hand and swallowed it directly.

As the pill entered her stomach, her injuries began to improve visibly.

Yu Leng's expression shifted, and she couldn't help but look at Ye Yuan.

"Heh, don't be puzzled. This pill is the same as the one your young master took. I found time to refine a few more these past few days," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Now that Ye Yuan was in the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain, the human warrior pills he carried were of little use.

So he had taken time over the past two days to refine a few more Five Essence Ancient Spirit Demon Pills and other pills for emergencies, not expecting to use them so soon.

Yu Huan, of course, would grant Ye Yuan anything he asked for.

On the surface, Yu Leng was as cold as ice, but inside she was deeply shaken.

This was a super-grade pill! And he just gave it away so casually?

No, even if it was given to her, he didn't even blink?

Just what level had this guy's alchemy reached!

Yu Leng knew that the fifth-rank sorcerers in her clan would treasure any high-grade pill they refined like a precious gem.

A super-grade fifth-rank pill—Yu Leng had never even seen one—and this guy just took it out and gave it to her!

When had their relationship become so close?

After all, just over ten days ago, she had wanted to kill him!

Ye Yuan looked at Yu Leng and smiled, "Don't look at me like that. Actually, I'm healing you for Yu Shu's sake. I think if you died, she would cry very sadly."

Yu Leng's face darkened, and she was about to explode, but Yu Shu grabbed her.

Yu Shu's little face was flushed. She had heard everything and said shyly to Yu Leng, "Brother Ye Yuan is joking with you. Can't you tell? How could such a precious pill be given to you for my sake?"

Ye Yuan laughed, "Hey, little sister Yu Shu, don't sell yourself short. If it weren't for you, I would have rather killed the three of you and wandered the world! Not just Yu Leng, even helping your young master refine pills was for your sake. Giving Yu Leng the pill wasn't entirely for you, but half the reason was. If I consider someone a friend, I'll help them to the end. But if someone provokes me, I'll kill them without hesitation!"

Yu Shu's face grew even redder. She never expected to be so important in Ye Yuan's eyes.

Even Yu Leng was startled.

Ye Yuan was right. He had indeed had the strength to kill the three of them back then, but he didn't. It was all because of Yu Shu!

But Yu Leng was even more curious about the other half of the reason.

"And the other half?" Yu Leng couldn't help asking.

"The other half... You fought desperately for your clan. That courage deserves my respect. It seems you're not as cold and unfeeling as I thought," Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yu Leng's face flushed. She never expected Ye Yuan to give her such a precious pill for such a reason.

Meanwhile, the battle between Yu Xin and Dark Ice had reached a fever pitch. Yu Leng and Yu Shu's attention was drawn to the sounds of fighting.

"Don't worry. Your young master has taken the upper hand. They'll settle it soon," Ye Yuan said calmly.

In fact, Ye Yuan had seen the outcome shortly after they started fighting, which was why he had the leisure to chat with the two girls.

Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Yu Leng and Yu Shu were very excited.

As Ye Yuan had predicted, after ten moves, Yu Xin's advantage became increasingly clear, pressing Dark Ice until he could barely breathe.

After another ten moves, Yu Xin seized on a lapse by Dark Ice, struck directly at his vital point, and sent him flying with a palm!

"Dark Ice, do you still dare to act wild on our territory? Take your people and get out of here! Most of this Thunder Yuan Fruit Forest is on our Jade-Faced Immortal Fox clan's land. Even if you want some, you're only allowed to take your share!" Yu Xin said majestically.

Yu Xin felt exhilarated. She had always been slightly inferior to Dark Ice, which had caused the Jade-Faced Immortal Fox clan to hold their heads low.

When the strongest of a clan couldn't even beat the second strongest of another, it was too shameful.

Of course, shame was a small matter; being bullied constantly was the big issue!

This time, with the help of Ye Yuan's pill, she had broken through and finally surpassed Dark Ice!

Unexpectedly, Dark Ice was unmoved and laughed loudly, "Yu Xin, you don't think that defeating me means everything's fine, do you? I tell you, we've already informed Young Master Dark Xuan. He'll be here soon! Then we'll see if you still dare to talk big! This Thunder Yuan Fruit Forest belongs to our Shadow Lightning Serpent clan!"

At these words, the Jade-Faced Immortal Fox clan's side all changed expression!
