Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

After wiping the wound, Xiao Yao immediately sprinkled the healing powder on it and wrapped it with a clean cotton cloth. He then said softly, "It's done. The wound is all treated. We just need to change the dressing again tomorrow." Xiao Yao's voice was deep and warm, giving her a sense of inexplicable peace. Xiao Yao smiled slightly, turned, and sat down in another spot.

The woman checked the bandage on the wound to make sure there were no problems. Then she looked up at the handsome young man. Judging from his face, he was probably a year or two younger than her, around seventeen or eighteen years old.

She couldn't help but feel a little moved. Such a young boy had actually come to the Monster Mountain Range alone. A sense of curiosity arose in her heart, so she asked softly, "What's your name? Where are you from?" Her voice was gentle and filled with expectation.

Xiao Yao turned around, looking into her clear eyes, and his heart stirred slightly. He replied, "Shouldn't you have told me your name first?"

His voice was deep and magnetic, giving her a strange attraction.

Upon hearing this, the woman smiled at Xiao Yao and said, "Then let's get to know each other now. My name is Yunzhi, and yours is Yunzhi."

Upon hearing the name, Xiao Yao thought, "Sure enough, this woman is Yun Yun. I thought she would reveal her real name, but she actually used the alias Yun Zhi. Since she's using an alias, I'll use one too, hehe."

Xiao Yao was silent for a moment, as if recalling something. He slowly said, "Yunzhi, my name is Yao Xiao."

Upon hearing Xiao Yao's words, Yun Yun smiled and said, "Yao Xiao, not a bad name."

Xiao Yao lit a pile of dry wood and, looking at the roaring fire, pondered what to eat for dinner tonight.

Xiao Yao remembered that there was a tiger-headed leopard carcass in his storage ring some time ago, so he took it out of the ring. Looking at this fresh ingredient, he sighed that the storage ring rewarded by the system was really something else.

Xiao Yao dissected the tiger-headed leopard's corpse with practiced skill and precision, as if every movement had been carefully considered.

He carefully peeled off the tiger-headed leopard's fur and teeth, which were materials for making weapons. He planned to exchange them for resources at the auction house on his way back. After finishing, he cut off the meat from the tiger-headed leopard's thigh, skewered it with a fork, and roasted it over the fire.

The heat of the flames gradually seeped into the meat, turning it a tempting golden brown. He smelled the aroma of the roasted meat, and his mouth watered. Xiao Yao searched his storage ring for the sauces he had taken from the supermarket earlier. Looking at the variety of sauces, such as "black pepper barbecue sauce, orange barbecue sauce, honey barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, etc.", Xiao Yao hesitated, wondering which one to choose. "Oh well," he thought, "honey barbecue sauce, after all, girls like sweet things."

Xiao Yao looked at the golden and tempting roasted meat and evenly spread its honey barbecue sauce on the meat. Under the heat of the flames, the sauce slowly seeped into the meat and released a rich aroma of roasted meat.

Yun Yun watched his busy figure quietly, smelling the rich aroma of roasted meat, her throat felt itchy. She couldn't help but swallow, and her stomach began to rumble. Looking at Xiao Yao's focused expression on the roasted meat, she couldn't help but find it amusing, and secretly chuckled and scolded him.

"Hmph, a man can cook better than a woman, and he even grills the meat so deliciously, making me look bad in front of others."

Hearing Yun Yun swallow, Xiao Yao turned to look at her, a contemptuous smile on his lips, and said, "A dignified Dou Wang, actually feeling hungry? No matter how high your cultivation is, you're just a weak woman in front of the delicious noodles I personally made. Yun Zhi, let me give you a taste of this piece of roasted meat that I grilled." As he spoke, he handed the grilled meat to Yun Yun.

Looking at the golden-brown roasted meat and smelling its aroma, Yun Yun blushed slightly. She reached out her slender hand, took the piece of meat, and took a small bite. The delicious juices burst in her mouth, making her let out a satisfied groan.

Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yao with admiration in her eyes and said, "Yao Xiao, your barbecue is so delicious. It's amazing that a man like you has such good cooking skills. I've never eaten such delicious food before."

Xiao Yao felt a little proud after hearing Yun Yun's praise.

Looking at Yun Yun's satisfied expression, he said, "Yun Zhi, as long as you're happy. By the way, what brings you to the Monster Mountain Range, and why did you provoke the Purple-Gold Winged Lion King for no reason?"

"I came to the Monster Mountain Range to train. My cultivation has reached the barrier, so I came out to see if I could find any opportunities. What about you?"

Yun Yun stopped eating the barbecue, looked up to reveal her delicate face, and answered Xiao Yao.

"Yeah, the reason is similar to yours. After all, I was born into a small family with no resources, so I can only rely on myself," Xiao Yao said with a helpless shrug.

Yun Yun looked at the tiger-headed leopard at the peak of the third tier, a clear look of astonishment flashing across her face. Then, a subtle, enigmatic smile appeared on her lips as she teased, "A man who has just reached the Great Dou Master level can hunt a Great Dou Master peak magical beast. Are you really from a small family? I'm getting more and more curious about your background."

Xiao Yao almost burst out laughing when he heard her words. He thought to himself, "This is the first time I've ever told the truth, and she doesn't believe me."

He deliberately adopted a mysterious air, smiling as he looked at Yun Yun and said, "Yun Zhi, are you testing my patience? My background can't be explained in just a few words. But since you're so interested, I'll tell you about my origins."

Upon hearing his words, Yun Yun's eyes immediately lit up. She quickly finished the roasted meat in her hand, washed off the grease from her hands, and then sat down in front of Xiao Yao, looking at him expectantly.

So Xiao Yao began to tell his fantastical story.

He described how, at the moment of his birth, the world changed dramatically, and various ancient phenomena appeared within a hundred miles of his birthplace. For example, blue lotus flowers emerged from the sky and bloomed in the air, swaying gracefully to form a sea of ​​flowers, full of vitality, making people feel as if they had arrived in the era of creation. There was even a chaotic aura surrounding him, hence the name Chaotic Blue Lotus.

Xiao Yao paused, as if recalling the magnificent scene of his birth, and said, "Such extraordinary phenomena include the bright moon rising over the sea, stars shining in the blue sky, the Yin-Yang diagram of life and death, and the celestial king descending upon the nine heavens. The appearance of these phenomena has attracted many ancient families to appear in the world."

Just as Xiao Yao was telling Yun Yun the story he had described, Yun Yun covered her mouth and smiled, her slender hand tucking a strand of hair that had fallen beside her ear. She leaned closer to Xiao Yao and whispered in his ear, "Hehe, Yao Xiao, do you think I'll believe the story you're telling?"

Xiao Yao's ears were caressed by soft breaths, and his heart felt a little itchy. The tips of his ears immediately turned slightly red.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yun smiled and teased, "Although it's fake, the story you told was really good. The scenes you described were very realistic and evocative. I was quite engrossed in listening to it."
