Chapter 67: Taming the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King A Kiss Goodbye
Wu Tian sat firmly on the back of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
The beast was both shocked and confused.
This human isn't afraid of my Purple Flames… fine. But why isn't he attacking me? Why is he just sitting on me?!
Does my dignity as a king mean nothing?!
"AWOOO~!"
A brilliant surge of purple energy erupted from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King as it let out a furious roar.
Its massive body twisted and turned violently in the sky, desperately trying to shake Wu Tian off.
But no matter how much the beast thrashed, Wu Tian remained firmly seated, unfazed, calmly assessing the comfort of his ride.
That's right when choosing a mount, one must first test the "vehicle" for comfort.
Of course, there was no need to check the "engine."
A majestic Rank Six magical beast like the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King naturally had top tier power. Its "other components" were also of the highest quality.
Seated on its back, Wu Tian felt beyond satisfied.
The style, the feel everything was just perfect.
Yep, he had made up his mind.
This ride was his.
"Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, be my mount!" Wu Tian declared confidently from atop the beast.
The words struck the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King like a bolt of lightning.
It was utterly enraged.
A dignified Rank Six beast, a king of the Magic Beast Mountain Range how could it possibly become a mere human's mount?
This human might be strong, but he was still just a Dou Huang.
How could someone of equal rank dare to claim dominion over it?!
Furious beyond measure, the beast decided there was no need for more words.
Its massive tail lashed out like a whip, aiming to swat Wu Tian off like an annoying fly.
Wu Tian's expression twitched.
Of all things…
He wasn't afraid of its flames, but its raw physical strength was another story.
If that tail actually hit him, his fragile human body wouldn't stand a chance.
In that split second, Wu Tian's right hand pressed down on the beast's back.
His storage ring emitted a dazzling golden glow the Divine Guardian Ring.
Instantly, the golden light engulfed the massive body of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
The beast's enormous eyes filled with shock.
A terrifying force locked onto its body, rendering it immobile.
Before its tail could strike Wu Tian, the beast vanished into thin air.
Gone.
Just like that.
Watching from the side, Yun Yun was completely stunned.
Her delicate lips parted in disbelief as she stared at Wu Tian.
The mighty Rank Six Purple Crystal Winged Lion King… was gone?
It looked like Wu Tian had forcefully stored it away.
Just… like that?!
How was that even possible?!
His storage ring… was so powerful that it could even contain a Dou Huang level magical beast?!
That was unbelievable!
Now she understood Wu Tian hadn't been holding back.
He had been waiting.
Waiting for the perfect opportunity.
And he had spent all that time sitting on the beast… just to test if it was comfortable?!
This… was just too insane!
The Divine Guardian Ring, as a divine tier storage ring, could store small Purple Crystal Winged Lions so storing a fully grown one was no problem.
As long as the beast's soul power wasn't stronger than Wu Tian's, it had no means of resisting.
The reason Wu Tian had waited so long before acting was exactly as Yun Yun had guessed.
He needed to be absolutely sure before making his move.
And what better way to ensure success than sitting directly on its back?
Now that the beast was sealed away, a smirk appeared on Wu Tian's lips.
The moment it entered his ring, it became his.
He wasn't concerned about the touching reunion between the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and its cub inside the storage space.
Instead, he turned to Yun Yun, flying toward her.
"Thank you, Yun Yun."
Yun Yun looked at him, her eyes deep and alluring.
With a slight smile, she asked, "And how do you plan to thank me?"
Wu Tian reached into his storage ring and took out a bottle of Purple Crystal Essence, handing it to her.
"This is something I took from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave. It's even more potent than Purple Spirit Crystals it contains an immense amount of energy."
But Yun Yun didn't take it.
Instead, she gazed at Wu Tian with a soft, almost melancholic expression, gently biting her lip.
"You know this isn't what I want."
Wu Tian's heart skipped a beat.
What do you expect me to do?!
What kind of bad intentions could I possibly have?
Sigh…
If that's what she wanted, then…
To express his gratitude, Wu Tian reluctantly sold himself out.
With one hand, he placed the Purple Crystal Essence in Yun Yun's palm.
With the other, he intertwined their fingers.
He had originally planned to just kiss her forehead as a simple thank you gesture.
But…
Before he could do anything, Yun Yun's exquisite face was already right in front of his.
And in the next instant
A soft, moist sensation pressed against his lips.
Wu Tian's mind blanked out.
His heart pounded furiously, his pulse quickening.
Even his blood pressure skyrocketed.
Hold on… This is a bit much!
I was just trying to say thank you!
I never agreed to fully "sell my body" for it!
Though it wasn't Wu Tian's first kiss, the experience was different this time.
For Yun Yun, however, this was her first time.
Her kisses were inexperienced, yet filled with passion.
She clumsily yet eagerly expressed her affection for Wu Tian, making his lips tingle slightly.
Wu Tian didn't even have time to react.
If he didn't kiss her back, it would have been too awkward.
So…
He did what any decent man would do.
He kissed her back.
…And just like that, things spiraled out of control.
Wu Tian's tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open.
Holy what have I done?!
At that moment, Yun Yun felt the slight tremble in Wu Tian's body.
She knew she had to stop.
If they continued, things would escalate far beyond a simple kiss.
And if that happened, Wu Tian's plans might be delayed indefinitely.
So, though reluctant, she pulled away.
Her face flushed as she gazed deeply into Wu Tian's eyes.
With a tender yet determined voice, she whispered,
"Wu Tian… thank you. I'm leaving now.
"I will always remember what you said… and everything that happened here."
With that, her azure wings gently flapped.
Her elegant figure disappeared into the horizon.
The only thing left behind…
Was her lingering fragrance
And Wu Tian, standing there with a dumbfounded expression.
He blinked.
Once.
Twice.
Then, helplessly muttered to himself
"…She played with my feelings and just left?"
