Before Xun'er could even speak, Yao Chen slipped into his storage ring.
He has a lot to do now and no time to play with Xun'er. Yao Chen believes Xun'er can handle things on her own.
However, Yao Chen never expected... Ling Ying saw the milky white liquid in Xun'er's room through the window. Knowing that her mistress had been defiled, she was now frantically searching for the man who had abducted her. "Bastard... he doesn't take responsibility after he's done it!"
Seeing Yao Chen leave again, Xun'er was quite angry. But there was nothing she could do; she couldn't catch Yao Chen's soul.
As long as Yao Chen is unwilling to steam this fighter, he won't be able to touch him at all. Let alone change his mind.
Helpless, he could only watch angrily as Yao Chen slipped into the ancient storage ring on his fingertip.
Once the medicine was completely inside the storage ring, Xun'er was furious and promptly ripped the ring off her finger. Then, she threw it away forcefully.
Xun'er thought that Yao Chen would abandon her again, just like last time.
In his haste, he forgot that the storage ring was Yao Chen's place of refuge.
After the storage ring had flown a few meters and was bumping against the rooftops, Xun'er finally realized, "Oh no..."
After realizing what was happening, Jiao'er quickly leaped towards the storage ring.
"Miss?" Just as Xun'er went to pick up the storage ring, an excited voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, Xun'er turned her head and met Ling Ying's gaze. "Dog!!! What are you doing here?"
Upon seeing that it was Ling Ying, Xun'er, who had just retrieved her storage ring, spoke incoherently, directly using the title Yao Chen had given Ling Ying.
"What dog? What did you say, Miss?" Ling Ying had also heard Xun'er call him a dog. Seeing this, Ling Ying pretended not to hear clearly, but her heart was already broken.
Previously, it was always "Elder Ling" or "Uncle Ying"... but a few levels ago it was "Ling Ying," and now... they're practically calling him a dog. For a Dou Huang, while in the ancient clans they are indeed no different from a watchdog, but...
Saying it like that might be a little hurtful. However, on the surface, Ling Ying remained polite.
"No, it's nothing. I just saw a dog."
Zheng'er realized she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly made up an excuse. After speaking, Xun'er observed Ling Ying's expression.
Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other party did not take it to heart.
However, what the child didn't know was that Ling Ying only pretended not to care; inwardly, she was cursing. Meanwhile, inside the storage ring...
Yao Chen felt an indescribable sense of comfort as soon as he entered the storage ring. "This is great! As expected, Xiao Yan's fighting spirit is truly superior!"
After taking two deep breaths of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi from his storage ring, Yao Chen couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, Yao Chen was like a phone that had run out of power and suddenly connected to a charger.
The storage ring is like a charger for medicinal dust; without a storage ring, the medicinal dust will dissipate if left outside for too long.
After expressing his feelings, Yao Chen mentioned the reward for completing the mission. However, Yao Chen still glanced at Xun'er outside.
Upon seeing Ling Ying arrive, Yao Chen couldn't help but smile.
Once you gain strength, there'll be no need for you, my dog, to exist anymore.
Yao Chen didn't want Xun'er to always have someone by her side, especially a man, and a man who was always around her. Once Yao Chen had the strength, he would definitely be the first to deal with him.
Given his current lack of strength, Yao Chen did not intend to risk a confrontation with Ling Ying.
Although the original medicine has many powerful techniques, Yao Chen only believes that Xiao Yan, with his cheat-like abilities, can defeat a Dou Huang while being a Dou Ling.
Two realms apart, if they really fought, Yao Chen could put up a fight, but... Yao Chen felt it wasn't necessary. There was no need to enlist the help of a terrifying family force for a woman.
Seeing that Xun'er was alright outside, Yao Chen turned his attention back to the system and said, "System, open the system panel."
[Ding! Opening the panel for the host.] [Host: Yao Chen.]

After looking at the panel, Yao Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"It's still too few; Huang Maodian is simply not enough."
Yao Chen needs to get his hands on the Six-Flavor Emperor's Pill, save it, and use it to kill Soul Emperor and Xiao Yan in the finale.
Chapter 64 Collar
However, after seeing the price of Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Yao Chen's desire to save up Huangmao Points vanished. "Sigh, forget it."
"Or, let's try something else."
"And it seems there's one more chance to refresh..."
Shaking his head, Yao Chen's gaze lingered on the refresh direction.
It's not that Yao Chen doesn't want to use Yellow Hair Points to enhance his skills, but... it's too troublesome to think about how to use 5 Yellow Hair Points together, so it's better to buy some useful ones.
He glanced at the yellow-haired guy's score of 5, then at the refresh product page. The next moment... Yao Chen seemed to have made a huge leap. "System... help me use one refresh product opportunity."
[Ding! Four items have been detected that can be refreshed. Please select the item to refresh.][One Liuwei Dihuang Pill: 10 Yellow Hair Points to redeem.] (Refreshable)
[Earth-Rank Dragon Claw Hand: Can be exchanged for 2 Yellow Points.] (Can be refreshed) [Love Brain Pill: Can be exchanged for 5 Yellow Points.] (Can be refreshed)
[Memories of a Grade 1-4 Yellow-Haired Alchemist: Can be exchanged for 1 Yellow-Haired Point.] (Can be refreshed) "Ugh ovo!"
"Isn't it supposed to refresh everything at once?"
Looking at the suddenly popped-up options, and those four familiar item names…
Yao Chen almost vomited blood. It turned out that the so-called refresh count meant that only one item could be refreshed at a time... After realizing this, Yao Chen was speechless.
"Ma De didn't explain clearly, making me get all excited for nothing..."
He said that, but Yao Chen's eyes were already choosing who to replace. He muttered to himself while pointing and whispering.
"Liuwei Dihuang Pills, um... I can keep them. What if a better mission comes along this month with bigger rewards... then I'll be set for life." Thinking of this, Yao Chen looked at the others.
The other items were rather ordinary, like the Earth-Rank Dragon Claw Hand... In Yao Chen's opinion, they were dispensable. As for the Love Brain Pill, it seemed pretty good and he could keep it.
The other 1-4 grade yellow-haired alchemist's memories, Yao Chen had no intention of exchanging for.
It's just a piece of trash. Why would a dignified eighth-grade alchemist like me care about something like this… After much deliberation, Yao Chen decided to refresh the yellow-haired alchemist's memories.
With a tap to refresh, the next second... [Ding!]
[1-4 Grade Yellow-Haired Alchemist's Memory: Can be exchanged for 1 Yellow-Haired Point] can be replaced with [Yellow-Haired Collar: Can be exchanged for 3 Yellow-Haired Points].
[System panel updating. [Host: Yao Chen.]

[System reward items: None.] [One hour of physical body]
[Unwavering Resilience (Kun Zhen)] [Yellow Hair Halo]
[Ruthless Flower-Forcing Version 2.0]
Upon seeing the newly refreshed blond collar, Yao Chen felt as if he had discovered a whole new world. His gaze was fixed intently on the collar's description.
After reading the introduction, Yao Chen also wondered where Huang Mao would end up.
"It only takes 3 yellow hair points to redeem, that's great, much more affordable than the Love Brain Pill, cheap and easy to use."
After muttering to himself, Yao Chen bought it without hesitation. "System, exchange it for the blond collar for me."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully redeemed the blond collar.]
As the system voice faded, the next second... a collar suddenly appeared in Yao Chen's hand. "Uh, is this the blond guy's collar?"
Feeling the extra item in his hand, Yao Chen slowly lowered his head.
After examining the item closely, Yao Chen realized the system was fooling him. After all, the so-called blond collar didn't seem particularly novel. Suddenly, images of the movies he'd watched in the brothel in his previous life flashed through Yao Chen's mind...
"Ugh! Isn't this just the kind of collar rich guys use to seduce women?"
As he spoke, Yao Chen also thought of a suitable match for the collar.
"Ya Fei... I failed to win you over last time, but this time... I'd like to see if you're still so stubborn. Also... I'd like to see if the collar is as described."
Yao Chen's first target was, of course, the resentful Ya Fei. Just thinking about Ya Fei made Yao Chen's teeth itch with hatred.
No matter how much effort they put in or how much they struggled, the other party remained stubbornly unwilling to yield, like a dead horse.
If it weren't for the generous system tasks, Yao Chen would have killed Ya Fei. "Hoo~~"
"Just wait." Yao Chen exhaled a resentful breath, his eyes becoming unreadable.
Chapter 65 Revenge
However, the corners of his mouth were always turned up, as if he was brewing something bad.
"Let's leave it for now. It'll probably be a while before we can meet that woman again, but it shouldn't be too long." With that, Yao Chen put away the blond collar.
Having redeemed the blond collar, Yao Chen now had two extra blond points. However, after checking the system panel, he decided to close it. There wasn't anything good he could afford to buy, nor anything that would tempt him to allocate points. He then looked around his storage ring.
At this moment, a faint trace of battle qi floated within the storage ring. It wasn't much, but Yao Chen could clearly sense that he could absorb it.
Because the medicine was absorbed through Xun'er's fingers, and the medicine dust wasn't in the storage ring, the battle qi wasn't absorbed immediately. With nothing else to do, it was a good opportunity to recover the soul body and, incidentally, absorb and fuse the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.
At this moment, Yao Chen also remembered the yellow-haired Yin-Yang Twin Flames he had received as a reward last time. Coincidentally, the "Burning Technique" also needed a prompt to devour a different kind of flame.
If he didn't absorb the strange fire, Yao Chen's own cultivation of the "Burning Technique" would only be at the advanced Yellow Rank, not even reaching the Profound Rank.
This inevitably made Yao Chen feel sorry for the original Yao Chen. "It's truly a case of supporting the disciple while starving the master." Truly worthy of being called Old Yao. *spits out emoji*
Yao Chen didn't know whether to praise Yuan Yao Chen as a good master or to scold him as a stupid simp.
"They give all the good stuff to that brat Xiao Yan, while I'm still just a Bone Spirit Cold Flame... Chu Jue is only at the advanced Yellow Rank, and in the end... even his only different flame..."
After speaking, two strange flames appeared in Yao Chen's palm, igniting the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in his palm. He then shook his head, his face full of disdain. Yao Chen did not approve of this kind of sycophantic behavior towards the protagonist.
Some of the souls of the Medicine Dust are those of modern people, who have seen much of the deceit and treachery in modern society, after all... there were many cases of masters starving to death in their previous lives.
Now that Yao Chen has taken over the responsibilities of his former master, he certainly won't be as foolish as the original Yao Chen, risking his life for Xiao Yan. Although the ending is good, consider the sacrifices he made along the way...
Moreover, now that Yao Chen possesses a system—and a rather unorthodox one at that—he's even less likely to wholeheartedly assist Xiao Yan. Having finished reflecting on Yao Chen's arduous life, Yao Chen stopped thinking about it.
He then closed his eyes and began to absorb and refine the Yin-Yang Twin Flames according to the "Burning Technique." Although this strange flame was not the one native to him, it did not prevent it from being a strange flame as well.
Just as Yao Chen was fusing with the Yin-Yang dual flames of the strange fire, outside...
After Xun'er's persuasion, many of Ling Ying's thoughts were dispelled.
However, more than anything, Ling Ying dared not pursue the matter further or report it to the ancient clan because of Xun'er's prestigious status.
Although Ling Ying had promised Jiao'er not to pursue the matter further, he had already harbored a grudge against Xiao Yan. After all, the direction his young lady had returned from happened to be the courtyard where Xiao Yan was.
After Xun'er calmed Ling Ying down, she also thought of the scene where Yao Chen absorbed Xiao Yan's Dou Qi. She immediately called out to Ling Ying, who was about to leave.
"Ling Ying...go to a nearby town and collect some pills to replenish my battle qi. Don't worry about the cost, just get them." Ling Ying was initially taken aback by Xun'er's way of addressing her, but then, remembering her mistress's recent change in temperament, she understood. She nodded and agreed.
Seeing that Xun'er had nothing else to say, Ling Ying disappeared into the night.
