Chapter 34: Cross-border Symbiosis, Yun Yun's Decision!

A cultivator's constitution and physique are fundamentally different from those of a mortal.

This is especially true in a system like *Perfect World*, where cultivation is primarily centered on physical strength from the very beginning.

Despite his young age, Zhu Chen's body was already exceptionally strong. He possessed everything he needed. Furthermore, because his entire skeletal structure had been tempered by the essence blood of Pangu, his reserves were extraordinarily vast.

An incense stick's time later.

Under Yun Yun's continuous offensive, Zhu Chen finally completed the first transformation of his life.

At the same time, a long-awaited notification suddenly rang in his ears

"Ding~!"

"Congratulations! You have left an offspring with Yun Yun. Through the union of Yin and Yang, you have successfully obtained all of Yun Yun's cultivation!"

"Reminder: (Battle Through the Heavens World) Yun Yun has entered into a [Symbiotic] relationship with you. If she continues to increase her cultivation, you will receive a feedback benefit."

It actually works?!

A sharp light flashed in Zhu Chen's eyes. He hadn't expected this "More Children, More Blessings" system to possess cross-world functionality.

"It seems I truly underestimated this system..."

Zhu Chen could feel that the realm he had just broken through had undergone another massive leap, and... it seemed like he was about to break through again!

He prepared to rise and continue opening his Grotto-heavens.

However, at that moment, Yun Yun's hand suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

Her current state was very poor. Zhu Chen could see that the power of the medicinal pills within her body had not yet subsided. Thus, he decisively chose to see the help through to the end.

(Ten thousand words omitted here...)

Half an hour later.

Outside the cave, several Rock Apes that had fled to this area followed the scent and groped their way toward the entrance. Hearing the sounds emanating from within the cave, the eyes of these Rock Apes instantly ignited with a fierce flame, as if their primal beastly nature had been stimulated, making them incredibly agitated.

They exchanged glances before charging inside, thumping their chests and stomping their feet.

"—Get out!"

Suddenly, a cold voice drifted from within the cave, carrying an endless pressure.

The cave shook violently. Immediately following, the Rock Apes that had just rushed in were sent flying by a terrifying wave of air. Their bodies, like cannonballs shot from a gun, slammed heavily into the rock wall hundreds of meters outside, shattering the wall into dust.

As the dust settled, the three-tier Rock Apes were seen lying on the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices with fragments of internal organs flowing from their mouths, completely lifeless!

...

The night passed in silence.

...

The next morning.

Just as dawn was breaking, Zhu Chen, who was sleeping, heard a slight rustling sound. He sat up and looked beside him, only to find Yun Yun picking up the light silk garments scattered on the ground.

"Are you awake?" Zhu Chen called out to her.

Hearing this, Yun Yun, who was bending over to retrieve her clothes, trembled slightly. She did not answer him; instead, she silently gripped her long sword. As she quickly pulled on her long dress, the blade slid from its sheath, propelled by a powerful surge of Dou Qi, and thrust directly toward him.

"Sigh, why bother?"

Zhu Chen sighed. He unhurriedly raised his right hand and lightly flicked the tip of the sword with his fingertip.

In the next instant, the long sword was knocked out of Yun Yun's hand, flying straight into the nearby rock wall with a resonant ring.

"Villain! I respected you as a senior, so why did you humiliate me?" Yun Yun clenched her fists, staring at Zhu Chen with a face full of fury and indignation.

Her purity was destroyed. Even if the opponent were a seventh-tier transformed magical beast with Dou Zong cultivation, she would demand justice for herself today.

"Don't worry, I will take responsibility for you."

Zhu Chen glanced down at the trace of blood beneath her skirt, feeling a slight stir in his heart. He could have easily blamed everything on the two bottles of medicine refined by Xiao Yan, but he didn't. If you do it, you admit it; what kind of man shifts the blame around?

Besides, Yun Yun had now entered into a [Symbiotic] relationship with him. Strictly speaking, she was his woman from now on. Taking responsibility for his woman? Was there an issue with that?

"Shut up! Who asked you to take responsibility? Even if I have to perish today, I will never allow a transformed magical beast like you to humiliate me..."

Yun Yun gritted her teeth, her voice carrying a hint of resolve. Suddenly, a vast surge of Dou Qi unique to a Dou Huang erupted from her body, transforming into a violent hurricane that swept toward Zhu Chen.

Yun Yun did not know when the seal within her body had broken, but she could no longer care about such things. She was the Sect Leader of the Yun Lan Sect of the Jia Ma Empire; having been humiliated by a transformed magical beast today, her reputation was ruined. Her only recourse was to seek redemption through death.

"A transformed magical beast?"

Zhu Chen laughed. So, after all this time, she thought he was a transformed magical beast?

He extended his hand and pointed forward.

"Imprison!"

As these two words left his lips, Yun Yun's body seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, instantly freezing in place.

"Calm down first. I know I was a bit excessive last night. However, I must clarify: I am not some transformed magical beast. I am human. It's just that I am not from your world; I come from another world..."

Zhu Chen walked up to Yun Yun and, without hesitation, manifested the four Divine Ring Grotto-heavens behind him.

"See? The technique I cultivate is not the Dou Qi of your world, but an energy substance called Spiritual Qi. I know you might not be able to accept this immediately. I will give you time to think. You can go back and reflect on it. In three years, I will come to the Yun Lan Sect to find you. I will also help you resolve the great catastrophe facing the Yun Lan Sect to settle the karma between us."

"If you still cannot accept me by then, I will not force you. We shall each live our own lives... Also, my name is Zhu Chen. You had better remember it, because in the future, this name will accompany you for the rest of your life..."

Zhu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, deliberately adopting an air of profound mystery. After saying this, he directly activated the cross-world function and, under Yun Yun's stunned gaze, vanished silently from the spot.

However, before leaving, he left some beast blood and precious medicinal herbs for her. These were things he had brought from the Fire Nation; although they weren't legendary treasures, they were extremely rare and valuable to the current Yun Yun.

After Zhu Chen left, the imprisonment on Yun Yun's body was automatically lifted. She stepped forward to pick up the items he had left on the ground. After examining them closely, an unprecedented look of shock appeared in her eyes.

"The aura emanating from these spiritual herbs is completely different from any I have seen before. And this beast blood... its vitality is as vast as the ocean, also different from the magical beasts of this realm. Could what he said be true? Is he really not from this world?"
