Chapter 222: Tenth Level: Beast Inner Pill
Dragons are naturally capable of flight, and with Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower both being Tenth-Level Beasts, their flying speed is exceptionally fast. This did not raise any suspicions in Ye Huan; what truly puzzled him was why Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower were in Tianyue City. And where were the people from Dragon Hall Headquarters?
Could it be that Bai Yulin, in a fit of rage, targeted my Dragon Hall?
A terrifying thought flashed through his mind as he quickly made his way toward the source of the voice. He soon arrived outside a house in the backyard, and to his astonishment, he found hundreds of people crouched in various corners near the door, all intently observing the house. Clearly, they had left their posts due to the sudden surge of hormones triggered by the voice.
With no better options at hand, Ye Huan steeled himself, adopting a mindset of "what will be will be," and hurried to the door, knocking heavily.
“Who the hell is it?!”
The voice belonging to Bai Yulin rang out as the door creaked open. There stood Bai Yulin in shorts, clearly having just been engaged in something private. The sight of Ye Huan and the crowd behind him made his eyes widen; he was caught off guard because he had been with Black Shadow Flower just moments before. Despite being a Tenth-Level Beast, Bai Yulin hadn’t sensed their presence.
Seeing the expression on Bai Yulin’s face, Ye Huan could only smile wryly and attempt to divert Bai Yulin's attention. “It’s me. What’s wrong? You can’t remember me after just one day?”
“Of course I remember you, Ye Huan! But them… get lost!”
In an instant, Bai Yulin's demeanor shifted from friendly to furious. Pointing at the members of Dragon Hall, he shouted “get lost,” startling Ye Huan.
It was no wonder; while others might not know it, Ye Huan understood very well that respect within Dragon Hall is earned through strength. Those without power who acted arrogantly would only provoke a collective backlash from the members. With everyone being at least Eighth-Level Practitioners, who would dare to provoke them? However, this situation was clearly different; they were facing two Tenth-Level Beasts. If a fight broke out, Ye Huan knew he would be at a disadvantage and would only end up getting beaten.
To Ye Huan's surprise, instead of retaliating against Bai Yulin as he expected, every member of Dragon Hall obediently exited the backyard. This left him quite puzzled. He pulled one member aside and asked urgently, “Wait a minute! Aren't you usually quite arrogant? Why aren’t you fighting back this time?”
“Young Master, we want to fight too, but we can’t win against him…”
Looking at Ye Huan with a sense of grievance, the member of Dragon Hall could not help but voice his complaints upon realizing Ye Huan had returned. Earlier that day, when the door of Dragon Hall Headquarters was kicked open, Zuo Yi had led them to spar with Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower. Their courage was commendable, but the consequence was that they all ended up with bruises, including Zuo Yi. If it weren't for Bai Yulin saying he would let them off the hook for Ye Huan's sake, it was uncertain whether Ye Huan would even be able to see any members of Dragon Hall now.
Later, under Bai Yulin's imposing presence, Zuo Yi had no choice but to arrange for him and Black Shadow Flower to stay in a room in the backyard. Little did they know that once they entered the room, the man and woman ended up 'fighting' all day long, leaving the unmarried men of Dragon Hall feeling quite frustrated, which prompted them to sneak over and eavesdrop.
Having listened to the grievances of the Dragon Hall members, Ye Huan found himself at a loss. Firstly, he couldn't overpower Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower; secondly, it was well-known among the common folk of Nine Provinces Continent that dragons were notoriously indulgent. What could he possibly change?
After hesitating for a moment and adhering to the principle of addressing lighter matters first, Ye Huan waved his hand and said to the Dragon Hall member, "Alright, I understand. Go call Zuo Yi here quickly and tell him I need to see him."
After giving instructions to the Dragon Hall member, Ye Huan turned his gaze toward Bai Yulin and forced a smile. "Brother Bai, what brings you here?"
"I naturally have something to discuss with you. Do you think I came here just for tea?"
Bai Yulin rolled his eyes after delivering such a human-like expression before speaking to Ye Huan. However, his tone clearly made Ye Huan feel that something was amiss, prompting him to cautiously ask, "Can I ask what it's about?"
"Wait a moment; let me get dressed first. Oh, and your sister-in-law is here too; she should be inside getting dressed. You better not come in just yet!"
Without directly answering Ye Huan's question, Bai Yulin quickly found an excuse and slammed the door shut behind him, leaving Ye Huan outside feeling somewhat bewildered.
Sister-in-law? He didn't have an older brother; where did this sister-in-law come from?
Thinking back on it, there were only Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower inside. It took Ye Huan quite some time to realize that this sister-in-law must refer to Black Shadow Flower. But when did Bai Yulin become his older brother?
In Ye Huan's mind, having quietly taken away the blood of the Holy Dragon without assisting Bai Yulin in killing Black Shadow Flower should have warranted a reprimand from Bai Yulin during this visit. So how could he explain this current situation?
Just as Ye Huan was filled with questions, there was a creaking sound as the door slowly opened again. He then saw both Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower appearing before him. Bai Yulin looked dignified in a white robe befitting his status. As for Black Shadow Flower, if she had previously exuded an aura of temptation, now she radiated an icy elegance. Dressed in a black long dress with her delicate and fair face, she was undoubtedly alluring.
Forcing himself not to gaze at Black Shadow Flower any longer, once invited into the room by Bai Yulin, Ye Huan wasted no time in asking about their purpose for coming here. He wanted to avoid prolonging matters unnecessarily. Meanwhile, Ye Luo, who had been following Ye Huan all along, chose to leave voluntarily since even with his strength present, whatever was meant to happen would still unfold without him being able to make any difference.
Upon hearing Ye Huan's inquiry, Bai Yulin appeared quite embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke up shyly, "Brother Ye, to be honest, my relationship with Black Shadow Flower is thanks to you. So this time, I came specifically to save your father. It's just blood, right? I can provide as much as you need!"
As he spoke, Bai Yulin unexpectedly pulled out a Short Blade and made a move to cut himself, startling Ye Huan into hurriedly stopping him. He snatched the Short Blade away and tossed it aside, anxiously advising, "Since you’ve called me brother, I won’t hide anything from you! Look at this..."
Brother? Little brother?
Frowning slightly, Black Shadow Flower, who was sitting nearby, couldn’t understand how men could establish such friendships so quickly. However, seeing Bai Yulin’s cheerful expression, she chose not to comment. Instead, her gaze shifted toward Ye Huan's hand and she noticed a piece of cloth stained with Holy Dragon blood. Her expression changed instantly as she exclaimed angrily, "Ye Huan! Where did you get this? Who dared to harm my husband?!"
"Sister-in-law, you forgot! This is from when I helped Brother Shenlong clean his wound..."
Startled by Black Shadow Flower's sudden outburst, Ye Huan quickly responded and pointed at Bai Yulin's face.
Given the dragon clan's recovery abilities, it was impossible for any scar to remain. Initially, Black Shadow Flower didn’t quite grasp what Ye Huan meant. But after a moment of thought, she realized and even felt a blush creeping onto her face. As for Bai Yulin, upon being pointed out by Ye Huan, he instinctively touched his own face and soon understood where Ye Huan had obtained the Holy Dragon blood. He couldn’t help but admire Ye Huan’s cleverness; it was almost effortless for him to acquire the Holy Dragon blood. However, another dilemma arose.
Bai Yulin's purpose for coming this time was simple: he wanted to repay Ye Huan for his guidance. But now that Ye Huan already possessed the Holy Dragon blood, how could he repay him? Would he give him something worthless? Such items could never compare to the Holy Dragon blood.
Glancing at Black Shadow Flower beside him, Bai Yulin steeled himself and boldly suggested, "Yohua, why don’t we give him the Plant Queen’s inner pill?"
"Are you crazy? That’s the inner pill of a Tenth-Level Beast! If used on him, it would only raise his Professional level by one rank at most. If we use it ourselves, it could extend our lifespan by five hundred years! Are you really going to give it to him?"
Staring in shock at Bai Yulin, Black Shadow Flower truly questioned whether he had lost his mind. The inner pill of the Plant Queen held significant meaning for Bai Yulin beyond its practical use; it was specifically left for him by the Plant Queen! As a woman herself, Black Shadow Flower understood just how much the Plant Queen cherished Bai Yulin when she received that inner pill in her final moments. How could she possibly let it go?
To be honest, before coming here, Bai Yulin had no intention of giving the Tenth-Level Beast Inner Pill to Ye Huan. However, since Ye Huan already had the Holy Dragon blood, he couldn’t possibly offer him the Hell Dragon blood meant for causing harm either. Thus, apart from the Tenth-Level Beast Inner Pill, nothing else could equate to the value of Tenth-Level Beast blood!
After a moment of silence and brief contemplation, Bai Yulin ultimately resolved to give the inner pill to Ye Huan and urged Black Shadow Flower gently, "Yohua, our relationship is entirely thanks to Ye Huan’s help. Just as he said: once someone is dead they cannot come back to life; clinging to past memories is less valuable than cherishing those present. This inner pill... let it go!"
"This..."
Which woman wouldn't want the man she loves to have only her in his heart? Hearing Bai Yulin's words, Black Shadow Flower slowly took out the inner pill of the Tenth Level Magical Beast Plant Queen from her bosom, the green light dazzling to the eyes...
One second, ten seconds, thirty seconds...
Even with the Tenth Level Magical Beast Plant Queen's inner pill right in front of Ye Huan, he still did not move. This was not because he didn't care about the Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill, but because he had already been stunned when Bai Yulin mentioned giving him the Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill. After all, there were very few people in the entire Nine Provinces Continent who could encounter a Tenth-Level Beast, let alone see the inner pill of a Tenth-Level Beast with their own eyes. Moreover, no one knew the specific effects of the Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill, making it a legendary item. To obtain such a legendary treasure was indeed an immense fortune.
"Brother Ye, what are you still dawdling for? Hurry up and take it!"
Seeing that Ye Huan remained motionless, Bai Yulin grew anxious and urged him with this remark, instantly bringing Ye Huan back to his senses.
Trembling, Ye Huan extended his right hand. He knew that with the help of this Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill, when the Nine Yin Cave came to the Nine Provinces Continent three months later, his summoner level would at least rise by one level, allowing him to better face the upcoming battles and completely eliminate Lingxiao as a threat. However, was he truly worthy of receiving this Beast Inner Pill?
Suppressing the infinite turmoil within him, just as his fingers were about to touch the Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill, Ye Huan halted his movement and slowly retracted his hand. With a bitter smile directed at Bai Yulin, he said, "Brother Bai, no merit should be rewarded with undeserved gifts; this item is too precious for me to accept."
"Nonsense! You've called me brother; what does this little thing count for?"
In one swift motion, Bai Yulin snatched the Tenth Level Magical Beast Plant Queen's inner pill from Black Shadow Flower's hand and directly stuffed it into Ye Huan's palm. The speed of his action left both Black Shadow Flower and Ye Huan unable to react.
Staring blankly at the pill in his hand, Ye Huan never expected that receiving this Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill would be so effortless while he had merely pretended to be a good person...
After handing over the Tenth Level Beast Inner Pill, Bai Yulin finally relaxed as if all his worries had vanished. Stretching comfortably, he turned to Ye Huan and said, "By the way, Ye Huan, you must have just returned. Why not go visit Uncle Ye first?"
