After Lou Mu Yan finished speaking to Ye Qing Han, she used her Flash Steps and headed directly towards the Fur Crimson Boar King.
Flash Step was a Manual that she obtained back in the Immortal Cultivation World. After successfully learning its entirety, one’s figure would be as ethereal and invisible as the wind, as well as being extremely flexible and changeable. The speed was extremely fast, and whether it was escaping or changing positions during battle, it was definitely one of the best means to save one’s life.
Meanwhile, the Fur Crimson Boar King that was lying on the huge grey boulder also discovered the purple shadow that was rapidly drifting over. Its eyes grew bloodshot, and it puffed two streams of hot air through its nose. It immediately stood up, its hind legs kicked the huge rock behind him, then it shot itself out like a missile, heading straight towards Lou Mu Yan.
Right when the Fur Crimson Boar King was near her, slyness flashed in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes. She reached out her left hand, swung it and a ball of paper immediately hit the Fur Crimson Boar King’s nose. The paper scattered and a bit of white power spread through the wind, entering the boar’s nostrils.
The Fur Crimson Boar King suddenly froze as if having a stroke and collapsed to the ground. Lou Mu Yan’s lips rose in a smirk and utilised Flash Step to its limit.
She swiftly arrived by the large grey boulder and without hesitation, she uprooted the Flame Plant and placed it directly into her interspatial ring.
Meanwhile, the fact that she only took a few breaths of time to obtain the Flame Plant stunned Ye Qing Han and his party who remained not far away. What sort of footwork was this? How could one’s speed be so fast that their figure appeared like a ghostly silhouette?
And what was that white powder? It could actually make a Tier 4 Fur Crimson Boar King collapse to the ground—it sure enlightened them. They stared at the paper that the white powder was originally wrapped within, their eyes filled with shock, but also glistened with ideas.
Although the Fur Crimson Boar King fell to the ground due to Lou Mu Yan’s powder, but its eyes were fixed on the purple figure. Seeing that the Flame Fruit that it guarded for so many years was lost to the hands of a damn human, its eyes were filled with fury, and it kept roaring.
The effect of the powder didn’t last long, so the moment Lou Mu Yan retrieved the Flame Plant, the moment the Fur Crimson Boar King could move. It immediately stood up, charged at Lou Mu Yan furiously with it eyes as wide was copper bells, and its entire body filled with rage as if it could only be vented after tearing her to pieces.
Lou Mu Yan turned around and her gaze chilled. She could actually use Mental Energy to directly attack the Fur Crimson Boar King’s brain and let it collapse, but she didn’t want to expose all her trump cards in front of Ye Qing Han and his party. So she could only use Flash Step to its maximum to dodge the Fur Crimson Boar King’s attacks.
Lou Mu Yan avoiding every attack from the Fur Crimson Boar King truly infuriated it—this damned human was so cunning. It must tear her into pieces.
Although Lou Mu Yan could easily avoid the Fur Crimson Boar King’s attack using her Flash Step, but this boar’s power was essentially a Tier 4 Demonic Beast equivalent to a Sword Spirit Stage expert. And her physical strength, due to her Terminal Meridians constitution that couldn’t absorb any Spiritual Force, could hardly compare to a Sword Master. Soon, her forehead covered in a thin layer of sweat.
She harumphed coldly, then fled directly into the dense woods. Even if she couldn’t kill it, it was still easy to escape.
Ye Qing Han naturally understood that Lou Mu Yan’s physical strength was almost overdrawn, so seeing that she was escaping, he couldn’t resist, tapped his foot, and flew out. He drew out his prized sword and swung at the Fur Crimson Boar King with a sword attack that was filled with Elemental Energy.
One could only see a flash of golden light from the sword that formed an arc in the air and instantly entered the Fur Crimson Boar King’s body.
[PENG!] The Fur Crimson Boar King was blasted more than ten metres away after being hit directly by Ye Qing Han’s sword aura. Following, blood dripped from its nostrils and eyes, and after twitching a few times on the ground, it perished.
Lou Mu Yan stopped, turned around and returned to Ye Qing Han’s side, saying: “Thank you!”
Although she could escape, or even kill the Fur Crimson Boar King with her Mental Energy without Ye Qing Han’s help, but since Ye Qing Han did intervene, it saved her a lot of effort and she also didn’t need to expose her trump cards. She had a good impression of this man.
“You can still get rid of it even if I didn’t interfere.” Ye Qing Han’s handsome face revealed a small smile. Along the way here, Lou Mu Yan constantly surprised him, so he also believed that she still had more abilities yet to reveal.
“You saved me quite some effort by intervening.” Lou Mu Yan shrugged, and her lips curled up: “You’re quite strong.”
“Although this Fur Crimson Boar King was of the same Stage as me, but it only just became a Tier 4 Demonic Beast not long ago, so my attack could easily kill it.” Ye Qing Han explained modestly.
Lou Mu Yan nodded and smiled: “The strength of a Peak-Phase Sword Spirit. Even amongst same-stage peers, you must be a tough opponent.”

Ye Qing Han wasn’t just at the Sword Spirit Stage, but he was also a Spirit Beast Master.
Seeing that he was wearing a Spirit Pet Bangle, she believed that there must be a Spirit Pet inside. And as a disciple raised and trained by a large clan, who didn’t have their own trump cards? She was certain that even if the Fur Crimson Boar King was at Peak-Phase Tier 4 strength, it still wouldn’t be Ye Qing Han’s opponent.
Ye Qing Han smiled softly in tacit recognition of her words, gave a look to one of his subordinates. The subordinate understood to open up the Fur Crimson Boar King, retrieve its Crystal Core and hand it to Ye Qing Han to put in his interspatial ring.
Interspatial rings were scarce in Yan’zhou Country, and only people with a certain identity, status and power could own and use one. The interspatial ring worn by Lou Mu Yan was a gift from her grandfather for her fifteenth birthday.
Low-level Sword Masters without any background, such as Mercenaries like Jiang Dong, could never afford interspatial rings.
They would all buy a special type of inexpensive interspatial bag. It was fairly easy to carry around, but only had one cubic metre of space and wasn’t bound to anyone. Whoever obtained it could easily open it and use it, and their toughness couldn’t compare to interspatial rings.
“Young Lord Ye, are we going to capture some fire-type Demonic Beasts now?” Lou Mu Yan already achieved her goal, so she was in a rather good mood and asked: “Do you have a goal?”
“Are we considered friends now after travelling together?” Ye Qing Han avoided her question, lifted his eyes to look at Lou Mu Yan and asked.
Lou Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, then a lovely smile appeared on her beautiful little face: “Of course.”
“Then let’s not be so distant, you can just call me Qing Han or Brother Ye from now on.” Ye Qing Han’s gaze was gentle with a smile on his face.
“Then Qing Han, you can just call me by my name or Mu Yan.” Lou Mu Yan nodded without any pretence.
There was a layer of faint anger in Ye Jing’s eyes—wasn’t their Young Lord being too nice to this trash? Even if this trash did look pretty good, but she still couldn’t match a person as glorious as their Young Lord.
Then she narrowed her eyes, and a vicious thought crossed her mind.
She must get rid of Lou Mu Yan in the Blazing Mountain Range and mustn’t let their Young Lord develop any feelings for her, otherwise with that trash’s identity, if she married their Young Lord, she’d be his official wife. By then, Lou Mu Yan would be suppressing her.
Lou Mu Yan’s Mental Energy was very strong, so she wouldn’t be noticed even if she used it. She caught onto the flash of viciousness in Ye Jing’s eyes.
She sneered within—if this stupid woman took the initiative to come at her, then she’d let her know how to write the word ‘regret’.
“Mu Yan, the goal of our trip is the Peak-Phase Tier 4 Demonic Beast, the Flame Unicorn Beast, that resides in the outer ring of the Blazing Mountain Range.”
Ye Qing Han didn’t conceal it and continued: “The Flame Unicorn Beast is unique and very talented, so you can’t compare its power to the Fur Crimson Boar King’s. At Tier 4, its combat power’s comparable to a Tier 5. We’ve already discovered where its lair is, so when we arrive, you must be careful.”
“Sure, then let’s go.” Lou Mu Yan nodded in response. She had seen the introduction of the Flame Unicorn Beast in the Demonic Beast records book in the Imperial Academy, so she had a general idea.
Afterwards, they headed towards the outer ring of the Blazing Mountain Range.
Because Ye Qing Han had the precise location of the Flame Unicorn Beast’s lair, they avoided a lot of detours and arrived in the neighbourhood of its lair early the next morning.
Note: Man I really don’t want to write ‘Fur Crimson Boar King’ again… I wrote it so many times HAHAHA
Note: Alright, back to normal updates, 1 a day at 6pm AEST (as long as the automatic publishing system works). But it’ll be the two week school holidays (a teacher here~) after this week, and I don’t have major tasks to complete over the holidays as of now, so I’ll probably update more frequently. Look forward to that~
