Battle Through the Heavens: Heavenly comprehension

During her days back at the Yunlan Sect, she hadn't been idle. Instead, she had discreetly purchased a high-grade powder—one that could induce unbearable heat—colorless, odorless, and harmless to the body.

Asking her to act seductive was simply impossible, but that didn't mean she couldn't find another way to meet Xiao Yan's demands.

However, things had developed in a completely different direction than she had imagined…

But Xiao Yan was just too much of a troublemaker, and now, with his strength partially sealed, Yun Yun couldn't help but want to use the special medicine she had bought at a high price. She hoped that after suffering its effects, he might behave more properly in the future.

After all, always thinking about that really didn't seem like something a decent person would do.

Yun Yun washed up in the pond, changed into a fresh dress, and then caught two fish to grill.

After sprinkling the seasonings Xiao Yan had given her, she nervously glanced around. Only when she saw Xiao Yan studying a combat skill under a massive crystal in the distance did she finally relax.

Quickly retrieving an exquisite jade bottle from her storage ring, she sprinkled some of its contents onto the fish before hurriedly putting it away.

Xiao Yan, of course, had no idea about Yun Yun's bold plan. After resting, he immediately began studying Wind's Extreme: Meteor Kill.

After carefully reading through it once, he realized that Wind's Extreme: Meteor Kill was an incredibly powerful Xuan-class high-grade wind-attribute combat skill. Its single-point penetration power absolutely reached Earth-class levels.

However, this skill required extremely harsh compression of Dou Qi, making it difficult for most practitioners to simultaneously draw upon the energy of heaven and earth.

Thus, while its power was formidable, its actual rank wasn't considered high.

Both Star Power Variation and Wind's Extreme focused on concentrating power into a single point. Xiao Yan let out a soft hmm, already gaining some insight.

Though there were many types of offensive combat skills, most were limited to either point or area attacks.

Some trained in heavy area strikes, while others practiced precise point pierces. Whether point or area, both had their merits—what mattered most was using them at the right time and place.

Just as Xiao Yan was deep in thought, a gentle voice called out from nearby.

"Yao Yan, the fish is ready."

Why does that sound so weird? Like 'Dalang, it's time for your medicine'? Xiao Yan closed the scroll and glanced at Yun Yun.

Since they'd be staying in the valley for a while without outsiders, Yun Yun had swapped her dignified white dress for more casual attire.

A white silk cheongsam, clearly made of luxurious material, hugged her figure. Her jade-like legs, revealed by the dress's slit, were sheathed in white stockings, and she wore cream-colored high heels—everything about her exuded elegance.

As she walked, her slender waist swayed gently, and her ample curves were accentuated by the snug silk, making her appear even more alluring.

Her long, shapely legs peeked through the cheongsam's slit, the lace trim of her stockings faintly visible, her entire demeanor radiating the charm of a young matron.

Having such a graceful, noble, and yet irresistibly seductive beauty accompany his training naturally pleased Xiao Yan greatly.

If only her grilled fish were half as good as her looks, I'd be even happier.

Staring at the charcoal-black fish, Xiao Yan swallowed hard.

"This is the first time I've ever cooked. It's… actually not bad." Noticing his expression, Yun Yun bit into her own equally charred fish with a faint smile.

Xiao Yan took the fish and ate without hesitation.

The toxic environments of those poison-based sects in the Chu Yun Empire were far worse than this.

Thanks to his seasonings, though Yun Yun's cooking skills were lacking, the taste was still acceptable—just a bit burnt.

Seeing Xiao Yan eat, Yun Yun finally relaxed. "I know you have a big appetite. Keep eating—I'll grill another one for you."

Without waiting for his reply, she turned and hurried off.

Watching her increasingly defined curves, Xiao Yan sighed inwardly. Granny Hua's energy transfer probably had other reasons behind it…

Sitting elegantly by the fire, Yun Yun occasionally glanced at Xiao Yan. Seeing no unusual reaction, she grew puzzled.

The medicine I bought was a high-grade product made by an alchemist—effective even against Dou Huang and supposed to work quickly. Why isn't it having any effect?

As she finished grilling another fish, Xiao Yan still showed no signs of change. Yun Yun couldn't help but wonder: Was it fake medicine?!

The thought that she had spent so many gold coins on a counterfeit infuriated her.

Biting her lip, she comforted herself: The Purple Crystal Seal couldn't even fully suppress his strength—his physique must be special. Maybe the medicine just hasn't taken effect yet. I'll test a little myself.

Carefully sprinkling a bit of the powder, she mixed it with the fish and ate it.

After a while, aside from the burnt taste being slightly milder, she felt nothing unusual.

Now convinced she'd been scammed, Yun Yun realized it was just some seasoning she didn't recognize.

Not wanting to waste it, she generously sprinkled it on both her and Xiao Yan's fish. At least it lessens the burnt flavor.

"Is the fish ready? I've already finished the first one." Xiao Yan walked over.

Embarrassed by her foolish mistake, Yun Yun handed him the fish, her face flushed with shame.

Xiao Yan, oblivious, sat across from her and dug in.

A short while later, Yun Yun looked up, her face glowing unnaturally red. "Yao Yan… do you feel anything strange?"

Startled, Xiao Yan stared at her. Did I grab the wrong seasoning? The Fallen Heart Flame aphrodisiac? Impossible!

He knew the effects of his own concoctions—they wouldn't take this long to work.

"What's going on?" He set aside the half-eaten fish and moved to her side.

In just a breath or two, Yun Yun's face had turned a deep, enticing crimson, her swan-like neck now tinged pink.

She had no idea why Xiao Yan was unaffected, nor why she had felt fine after the first bite—only for things to spiral out of control now.

Using his soul perception to examine her, Xiao Yan was shocked. She's been drugged—and with a high-grade aphrodisiac at that!

This isn't mine!

Immediately checking the seasonings, he picked up an unfamiliar jade bottle, his brow furrowing.

First, it wasn't his. Second, the yellowish powder inside was clearly the source.

Xiao Yan gave Yun Yun a strange look. If it's not mine… then there's only one person who could've done this.

"Yao Yan…"

Just meeting his gaze made the heat in her body flare like dry kindling meeting flame. She lunged forward, her lips expertly finding his, cutting off any further questions.
