"No means no, keep it for yourself!"

Xiao Fang still found it hard to accept such a bloody thing, feeling uneasy inside.

"Alright! If that's the case, I won't force you. When it's cleaned, don't come crying to beg me for it!"

Lin Yifan put away the Spirit Beast Crystals, pushing no further.

"Don't worry! I wouldn't want it even if you beat me to death."

Xiao Fang was delighted, feeling incredibly relaxed.

"We'll see about that!"

Lin Yifan trusted his intuition, Xiao Fang would definitely love such dazzling things.

After receiving the Black Lotus Grass from Du Yuze's hand, Lin Yifan carefully packed it in his bag, then left the small forest with Xiao Fang and Du Yuze.

After this encounter, their search speed fell behind significantly; but since they'd given up treasure hunting, there was no rush in terms of time.

On the way to the next small town, Lin Yifan encountered a river, flew down, and washed the blood-stained Spirit Beast Crystals in his hand.

Just now Xiao Fang said she wouldn't regret it, now he'd make sure she would.

Taking out two Spirit Beast Crystals, he washed away all the blood, revealing two crystals even more dazzling than diamonds before the three of them.

Staring at the two unbelievably beautiful Spirit Beast Crystals in Lin Yifan's hand, Xiao Fang was astonished, covering her mouth and doubting her own eyes.

Previously, before the blood was washed off, the Spirit Beast Crystals were like bloody buns, bloody hearts, making them hard to accept; now, washed free of blood, they were transformed and renewed, brightening her eyes.

"Is this the lotus? Emerging unsullied from the mud!"

Xiao Fang was amazed and astounded, truly stunned.

It was her previous vulgar eyes that hadn't seen the essence of things.

Now, she genuinely felt an urge to ask Lin Yifan for it.

"Well, isn't it beautiful and dazzling?" Lin Yifan asked.

"Yes! Can you give it to me?"

Xiao Fang reached out to ask for it, but Lin Yifan raised his hand, making it instantly out of reach.

"No way! Weren't you disdainful of it just now? Why do you suddenly want it now?"

"I was blind without wisdom, shortsighted, failing to recognize the treasure; now I regret it." Xiao Fang replied.

"I knew you'd say that!"

Everything was within Lin Yifan's grasp, as he understood his woman.

"Since you know it now, why not just give it to me."

Xiao Fang jumped up, attempting to snatch the gorgeous Spirit Beast Crystals from Lin Yifan's hand.

Lin Yifan quickly moved his hand, responding, "No, you haven't begged me yet."

Earlier he said Xiao Fang would beg him for it; now he wanted Xiao Fang to fulfill that.

Looking at the spectacular Spirit Beast Crystals in Lin Yifan's hand, Xiao Fang had no choice but to comply, pleading coquettishly, "Darling, please give me the Spirit Beast Crystals you hold."

Du Yuze, watching from the side, shivered, finding this even more cringe-worthy than earlier; he truly couldn't take it, and hurriedly used Qinggong to distance himself.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yifan and Xiao Fang burst into laughter, feeling Du Yuze was adorable.

All this was to make Xiao Fang acknowledge her mistakes, knowing not to judge matters purely on appearances.

Having succeeded, Lin Yifan immediately gave the Spirit Beast Crystals to Xiao Fang unconditionally.

With the Spirit Beast Crystals in hand, Xiao Fang's eyes glowed gold, becoming youthful, lively, and adorable.

"Such a beautiful Spirit Beast Crystal! It's truly stunning!"

Xiao Fang dreamt of crafting her own Spirit Beast Crystal necklace, wearing it to shine brightly.

Additionally, she wanted to craft it for her three sisters too, making them more beautiful.

Lin Yifan was delighted, the pure smile on Xiao Fang's face was what he wanted to see, because that smile was the most beautiful thing, nothing could compare to it.

While they were unwary, danger approached silently.

The Spirit Beasts in the river gathered due to the scent of blood; though Lin Yifan and Xiao Fang were onshore, they could leap from the waters, dragging them in to feast.

They approached like crocodiles, silently.

Upon reaching the riverbank, they burst from the surface with lightning speed, opening their bloody maws, aiming to drag the unwary Lin Yifan and Xiao Fang into the water.

Lin Yifan's heart pounded, signaling danger.

His left side turned cold, hinting at an approach from that direction.

No guessing needed, he knew what was making a move against them, having faced it before.

Last time in Beixuan Palace's great river, he confronted powerful aquatic Spirit Beasts, so everything approaching from the left must be aquatic Spirit Beasts, as his left side was the small river.

Aquatic Spirit Beasts were also powerful, not to be underestimated, swiftly he used Immortal Level Light Skill, taking Xiao Fang and flying away.

Making a move now was a bit late, their only option was escape.

He fled towards the inland direction, having time to dodge the attack; because aquatic Spirit Beasts wanted to drag them into the water, they had to move inland, and he was faster when fleeing inland than the aquatic Spirit Beasts rushing out of the water, so as time passed he only became further away, definitely not bitten by the aquatic Spirit Beasts; unless at the start he was bitten right away.

The sudden commotion was also heard by Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang just wanted to turn to investigate, but Lin Yifan had already embraced her and took off.

She looked back, saw several abyss-like bloody maws, shivered, and finally knew what was attacking, realizing it was aquatic Spirit Beasts.

Fortunately, Lin Yifan reacted quickly, otherwise they would've been food for aquatic Spirit Beasts.

Still, why are Spirit Beasts in the water? She was utterly curious, even more curious about how Lin Yifan knew they were under attack.

"Splash!"

The aquatic Spirit Beasts missed their target, powerlessly falling back into the water, creating a large splash.

The commotion drew the attention of Du Yuze, who had fled far to avoid the cringe.

Du Yuze quickly turned his head to look this way.

Seeing Xiao Fang and Lin Yifan panting, fleeing frantically, he curiously asked, "Boss, what happened? Why the hurry and scare?"

Feeling no aquatic Spirit Beasts pursuing them from behind, Lin Yifan paused and answered, "We were just attacked by Spirit Beasts!"

"Spirit Beasts? Where'd they come from?"

Du Yuze looked around, not spotting a single Spirit Beast, unable to restrain his curiosity asking.

"Aquatic Spirit Beasts!" Lin Yifan pointed at the nearby river, answering.

"There are Spirit Beasts in the river?"

Du Yuze was shocked, very surprised.

He thought large Spirit Beasts were only on land, didn't expect them in water too.

"Yes! Anyway, there are Spirit Beasts everywhere in the Secret Realm, the water is no exception." Lin Yifan replied.
