Chapter 1186, Yun Jun

Translator: Silavin

  

Watching that scene, which was entirely one-sided, both Yun Lan and Yun Yin stood there with their jaws hanging open.

 

This young man’s aura was no more than that of a Late Stage Martial Ancestor, and yet these Demonic Beasts, ones that even a Peak Stage Martial Ancestor would need to exert considerable effort to deal with, crumbled in his hands like they were fashioned from clay.

 

His strength was far more terrifying than an ordinary Late Stage Martial Ancestor.

 

In no more than a few blinks of an eye, three Demonic Beasts that had come on with such ferocious momentum were now flat on the ground, not moving a single inch.

 

After dealing with the three Demonic Beasts, Qin Yichen moved as though he had done nothing of any particular significance. He rummaged over the beasts, extracting from within them three crystal chunks roughly the size of a palm.

 

After wiping the blood from the three Beast Cores in a cursory fashion, he tucked them into his chest and planned to leave.

 

“Hey, wait a moment!”

 

Having been stunned from the instant Qin Yichen made his move, the two women only snapped out of it when they saw him preparing to depart.

 

“What?” Qin Yichen frowned slightly, turned around, looked at the two women, and asked in an unhurried, indifferent tone, “You are not expecting a share, are you?”

 

“You…” At those words, Yun Lan, who had been on the verge of saying something grateful, had the words choked right back down her throat by sheer irritation.

 

“This Older Brother, many thanks!”

 

Yun Yin at her side, face wreathed in a sweet smile, thanked Qin Yichen.

 

“It was nothing.” Qin Yichen shrugged with complete indifference and said plainly.

 

From the very first moment he had encountered these two women, he had detected the wariness in their eyes. He had no desire to be mistaken for someone with sinister intentions.

 

As for his intervention just now, though it had the appearance of heroism, in truth, when it came down to it, he had merely wanted to test the strength of the Demonic Beasts in this place. And by eliminating three Late Stage Martial Ancestor Realm Demonic Beasts, he had also obtained three rather decent Beast Cores.

 

“Older Brother, my name is Yun Yin.”

 

Yun Yin took a few light steps forward and came to stand before Qin Yichen, her pair of bright, curious eyes looking him up and down, as though wondering how such terrifying power could possibly be housed within this frame.

 

“If there is nothing more, I’ll go.” Qin Yichen gave a nod and showed no inclination toward further conversation.

 

Moreover, his name carried far too much weight right now. Should anyone learn that he was within the Myriad Beasts War Domain, many powerful experts from various Races would likely single him out.

 

“Older Brother, won’t you walk with us? If we run into those kinds of Demonic Beasts again, Elder Sister and I won’t be able to handle them.”

 

Hearing the mild coldness in Qin Yichen’s words, Yun Yin put on a pitifully forlorn expression and spoke in something of a pleading tone.

 

“He finds us a burden, let him go.” At the sight of Yun Yin’s expression, Yun Lan at the back could not help but speak up.

 

“Oh…” Hearing the rebuke from behind her, Yun Yin could not help but pout, looking utterly aggrieved.

 

Watching the two women, an involuntary smile tugged at the corner of Qin Yichen’s mouth. These two brought to mind the Shu Sisters.

 

One cold and aloof, the other innocent and endearing.

 

“Come along then.” In the end, Qin Yichen shook his head with a helpless air and said.

 

*Whoosh!*

 

But just as Qin Yichen was preparing to set off alongside the two women, a sharp sound of splitting air suddenly rang out from the sky above.

 

“Elder Sister Jun!”

 

While Qin Yichen was circulating his Yuan Energy and bracing himself cautiously, Yun Yin suddenly let out a delighted cry.

 

*Flash!*

 

Immediately, Qin Yichen felt a fragrant breeze sweep across his face, and a slender, graceful figure appeared in an instant between him and the two women.

 

This graceful figure had a perfectly formed silhouette. Beneath a form-fitting white dress, her proud curves traced a sweeping line, and her long silver hair, like a river of stars, danced freely in the light breeze, carrying a beauty that was quite beyond description.

 

The young woman’s skin was fair as snow, her brows curved like Crescent Moons, gently stirring something in the heart. Beneath those crescent brows was a pair of eyes as clear and pellucid as glass, the kind of beautiful eyes one could not help but lose oneself in.

 

She also possessed an exquisitely delicate face that, even set alongside the beauties Qin Yichen kept at his side, would hold its own with ease.

 

The sole regret about this young woman was that across that face, which could launch a thousand kingdoms to ruin, there was not the faintest trace of a smile, only a coldness that kept the world at arm’s length.

 

At this moment, those glass-like eyes of hers were fixed upon Qin Yichen, as though a celestial maiden were regarding a mere mortal from on high.

 

“Whoever dares approach my Sisters, dies!”

 

Before Qin Yichen could even be struck by her transcendent bearing, from those cherry-red lips came a statement as cold as ice.

 

That single word, ‘dies’, was suffused with a killing intent entirely at odds with the aura from her. One that left no room for doubt.

 

Hearing this, Qin Yichen could not help but frown slightly. But perhaps fearing a misunderstanding, Yun Yin had already begun explaining on his behalf, “Elder Sister Jun, this Older Brother saved us, otherwise we would have ended up inside that beast’s belly just now.”

 

Hearing Yun Yin’s explanation, the cold-eyed beauty then glanced toward the carcasses of the three Demonic Beasts behind Qin Yichen.

 

With her perceptiveness, she determined in almost an instant that every one of these Demonic Beasts had been killed with a single blow, without even the slightest opportunity to resist, each still holding a posture of charging forward.

 

“Yun Yin, Yun Lan, we’re leaving.”

 

After sweeping a glance over the Demonic Beasts, this cold and beautiful woman did not offer any apology for her misunderstanding. She merely cast Qin Yichen an indifferent look, her gaze still holding not a shred of proper acknowledgement, then turned to the two women behind her and spoke.

 

“Yes!”

 

At those words, Yun Lan gave a prompt nod. Though her own manner toward Qin Yichen had not been particularly warm before, he had, after all, saved them, and had nearly been misidentified on top of that. And so, she gave Qin Yichen an apologetic nod before soaring away after the cold-eyed woman.

 

“Older Brother, please don’t get angry, Elder Sister Yun Jun just has that sort of temperament. If you ever have the chance, you are welcome to come visit us at the Spirit Cloud Race.”

 

Yun Yin stuck out her tongue at Qin Yichen in an adorable manner and spoke with a playful air, seemingly a little reluctant to part with him, and only took her leave with visible reluctance when Yun Lan called out for her.

 

“The Spirit Cloud Race, Yun Jun, what a pity.” Qin Yichen shook his head at the direction the three women had departed, sighing quietly to himself.

 

The Spirit Cloud Race was a Top Tier Race, in strength not a whit below the Heaven Devouring Green Marten Race. Moreover, the Spirit Cloud Race excelled in movement techniques, and in terms of overall power among the Myriad Races, they ranked among top.

 

That was why, earlier, when hunted by the Demonic Beasts, Yun Yin and Yun Lan had been able to hold on for as long as they had. Had it been experts of another Race facing such a vast disparity in strength, they would likely have become the beasts’ meal long before then.
