Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 993: A Bit Awkward

"Fortune truly favors me, encountering the opening of Treasure Mountain this time. It seems today's events will have to be repaid at another time!"

Bai Wushuang murmured, completely ignoring the resentful gaze from Liu Qingchen beside him. After all, compared to the so-called opening of Treasure Mountain, with his cold and indifferent nature, how could he still have the heart to avenge Liu Qingchen right now?

This foremost genius of the Heavenly Hospital knew that only the treasures within Treasure Mountain were the most precious assets of the Refining Treasure Hall, and Treasure Mountain rarely opens easily. At least, in several instances he had entered, he had never encountered Treasure Mountain opening.

It is said that those treasures reaching the Heaven Rank are all spread from Treasure Mountain, which means every time Treasure Mountain opens, the chances of obtaining Heaven Rank treasures boost significantly.

Of course, there is another reason, and that is after witnessing Yun Xiao's methods, Bai Wushuang lacked absolute confidence in his ease of handling Yun Xiao.

In this Refining Treasure Hall, it's not just the few people in front of him. Perhaps Bai Wushuang always considered his biggest foe to be Ye Ku from the Sky Poison Institute.

If he were to fight fiercely here, allowing Ye Ku to take advantage and seize the Heaven Rank treasure from Treasure Mountain, he'd be left utterly frustrated.

"Senior Brother Wushuang, kill him!"

Upon seeing Bai Wushuang looking in the northern sky with his face changing unpredictably, Liu Qingchen grew anxious. But as he spoke, he was directly pulled by the former and dragged towards the valley entrance.

"Yun Xiao, today's matter, I, Bai Wushuang, will surely demand double return from you. Just wait!"

Bai Wushuang's voice echoed far away, leaving Liu Qingchen's face dark and Yun Xiao somewhat anxious as he was encountering some "trouble" at that moment.

"Hey, don't go!"

Yun Xiao's anger was actually no less than Liu Qingchen's, especially as he sensed the drug effects inside Mo Qing's body intensifying. He wished to tear apart that despicable duo.

Bai Wushuang was confident he could deal with Yun Xiao, and wasn't Yun Xiao's thought the same? He believed that with all his skills displayed, he should be able to kill a guy at the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm.

But just when Yun Xiao, in his anger, wanted to chase, Mo Qing, clinging to him like an octopus, held him tight, making it difficult for him to move.

Of course, if Yun Xiao was determined to chase, getting rid of a delirious Mo Qing would be easy, but in such a state, he couldn't ensure what would happen if he left, especially with the possibility of powerful Vein Demons in the valley.

Therefore, upon sensing Mo Qing's state, Yun Xiao eventually gave up on the chase, deciding to resolve Mo Qing's current condition first, though their current image seemed a bit awkward.

"Yun Xiao…Yun Xiao…"

Mo Qing, her mind in a haze, filled with that cherished figure, soon merged the man in front of her with the image in her mind.

Such a drug like the Joy Scatter is extremely potent, capable of having excellent aphrodisiac effects even when encountering other men, let alone before someone she admires.

Thus, at this moment, the full effect of Joy Scatter erupted, making Mo Qing lose control, lifting her rosy face abruptly, her red lips directly aiming for Yun Xiao's nose and mouth, though in her dazed state, failing to find the exact position.

"Hey, hey, hey, Senior Sister Mo Qing, don't be like this!"

Seeing this, Yun Xiao's expression grew increasingly awkward, knowing Mo Qing had always harbored affection for him. But now, he only had Shen Xingmou in mind, and the current situation was clearly unfair to Mo Qing.

Yun Xiao tried to push Mo Qing's head away with restraint, afraid of hurting her, while internally shouting.

"Little Dragon, what are you waiting for?"

It seems that under such circumstances, Yun Xiao couldn't free up his hands and couldn't use his detoxification method, especially when Joy Scatter wasn't strictly poison, as ordinary methods would be ineffective.

"Tsk, tsk, this woman really knows how to exploit the situation!"

After Yun Xiao's high-pitched shout, a voice suddenly resonated in his mind, an unbelievable sound emanating from a three-to-four-year-old child if not seen firsthand.

Within the heart of the Dragon Tree Spirit Little Dragon, he was only fond of "mother" Shen Xingmou, never liked Mo Qing, always feeling this woman wanted to steal his father.

Particularly now when Mo Qing was obviously befuddled by Joy Scatter, Little Dragon thought she was just exploiting the situation. However, next moment, a strange aura spouted from Yun Xiao's palm, closely pressed against Mo Qing's abdomen.

One must admit, Little Dragon's technique of transforming myriad poisons with a thought was quite remarkable. Although strictly speaking, Joy Scatter wasn't considered a true poison, under Little Dragon's method, it quickly dissipated.

Joy Scatter merely clouded the mind, having little impact on physical cultivation or the Power of Soul, hence once the drug was dissolved by Little Dragon, Mo Qing gently moaned, finally waking up.

"I... I..."

Mo Qing, who had just opened her eyes, was greeted by a familiar face at a very close distance. Because of her subconscious actions just now, her face was so close to Yun Xiao's that they could almost feel each other's breath.

This ambiguous position made Mo Qing, who had just regained consciousness, blush even more. Even though she had always been infatuated with Yun Xiao, she had never imagined such a situation would occur.

"Senior Sister Mo Qing, are you alright?"

Yun Xiao was the first to react. He forcefully pushed Mo Qing half a foot away with his right hand, then rubbed his nose and finally asked. This question somewhat relieved the awkward tension in the atmosphere.

"I..."

Mo Qing was still blushing and somewhat entranced by the feeling of being in Yun Xiao's arms, unable to speak for a moment. It was only after a while that she felt her hands were chilly and looked down to see two bare, snow-white arms in front of her eyes.

"Ah!"

Seeing herself in such a disheveled state in front of the person she adored, Mo Qing couldn't help but exclaim, turning away immediately. She finally retrieved new clothes from Waist Storage and put them on before turning back with a flushed face.

"Yun Xiao, was it you who saved me?"

After covering her arms, Mo Qing finally remembered some of the previous events, and at least before Yun Xiao arrived, she had remained somewhat conscious, all thanks to the Pure Yang Immortal Body.

"Yes, I never thought that one of the top talents at Heavenly Hospital would be such a despicable scoundrel. I really wonder how you've managed through this past year?"

Yun Xiao gathered his emotions, and the topic shifted to another layer. Regarding those two talents, a look of undisguised resentment appeared in his eyes.

"I also didn't expect them to be like this. Once we're out, I must report this to the teacher!"

Recalling the previous events, Mo Qing still felt frightened. For any woman, going through such an experience might take a lifetime to heal the emotional wounds inflicted on her heart.

"Perhaps there's no need to wait until we get out!"

Yun Xiao's philosophy had always been to avenge grievances on the spot. If not for the previous circumstances, he would never have allowed those two despicable guys to leave the valley easily.

"Do you know Treasure Mountain?"

Remembering Bai Wushuang's words before leaving, Yun Xiao was almost certain that guy had gone to Treasure Mountain. But as a newcomer, he wasn't familiar with Refining Treasure Hall, let alone Treasure Mountain.

"Treasure Mountain? You mean... Treasure Mountain has opened?"

Mo Qing, having stayed at Lianyun Mountain for over a year, although never having entered Refining Treasure Hall, had heard enough to fully understand some special places within it.

Mo Qing knew that Treasure Mountain inside Refining Treasure Hall, where most treasures were, rarely opened. Once opened, treasures of Heavenly Rank might appear.

Such luck cannot be sought but only happened upon. Whenever Treasure Mountain opened, Meridian Refining Masters at Lianyun Mountain would fight fiercely, even leading to deaths once, due to the overwhelming allure of Heavenly Rank treasures.

"So it's such a place!"

After Mo Qing's explanation, Yun Xiao finally understood what Treasure Mountain was. Hearing certain parts, a peculiar smile curled on his face.

"So people have died there? Well, that sounds like a good place for revenge!"

Yun Xiao chuckled softly, then raised his eyes to look towards the northern sky before continuing, "So why are we waiting? Let's go to Treasure Mountain then; it's such a beautiful burial ground!"

Clearly, Yun Xiao had been brooding over Bai Wushuang and Liu Qingchen's humiliation of Mo Qing. Even after crippling Liu Qingchen's arm, his heart's hatred remained unassuaged.

Since Treasure Mountain had seen deaths before, implying it doesn't prohibit them, Yun Xiao had little reason to worry. Actions demand consequences, especially when the offense was against Yun Xiao's friend.

Of course, besides seeking revenge on Bai Wushuang and Liu Qingchen, Yun Xiao also harbored expectations for the treasures within Treasure Mountain. Having been reborn, all he possessed by way of Heavenly Rank treasures was the Five Elements Pu Pill he had fortunately refined.

Leaving aside the Divine Artifact Dragon Taming Sword of unknown grade, if Yun Xiao could obtain some powerful Heavenly Rank treasures now, it might significantly boost his strength.

Meanwhile, far north of the valley, some unique events were unfolding, with one figure who wouldn't be too unfamiliar to Yun Xiao and Mo Qing.
