But Xiao Jia couldn't reach Mao Qiu'er's hand at all.

Mao Qiu'er pushed him away.

"Ouch!" Xiao Jia fell hard to the ground, rolled twice, and his clothes were covered in dust.

Mao Qiu'er seemed to be used to doing evil and enjoyed this kind of torture, and she gripped the beast-taming ring even tighter.

The animal taming ring deformed slightly, and the panda let out a mournful howl.

Many cultivators stopped to watch, but not a single one intervened.

What a joke! This is the beloved daughter of the Five Elements Sect Master. Offending her is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire Five Elements Sect.

The one being abused wasn't an immortal, but a monster that roamed the bamboo forest.

finally,

Click—

The beast-taming ring broke.

At the same time, a dull sound of bones breaking came from the iron-eating beast's body.

It lay on the ground, its chest caved in, revealing its gaunt bones.

More blood gushed out, pooling on the ground.

Its eyes widened, and even in its dying moments, it stretched out its claws toward Mao Qiu'er, its honest face revealing endless pain and astonishment.

Xiao Jia was equally taken aback.

His little face was streaked with tears and snot as he stared blankly at the pool of blood and flesh on the ground, so heartbroken he could barely breathe.

It died...

Nuomi Tuantuan was so cute, I just asked him for some bamboo to eat, and he was brutally killed in the street by Mao Qiu'er...

It's all his fault...

If he hadn't brought the glutinous rice ball, it wouldn't have died such a tragic death on the street.

He failed to protect it...

Since you've already taken it in from the wild, why treat it so carelessly...?

Why……

Xiao Jia's blood turned cold.

His heartbeat slowed to an extreme, his body was covered in frost, his eyebrows were white from the cold, and his whole body was trembling.

The primordial spirit disintegrates!

The fragments of the demon core that had condensed within his body transformed back into spiritual energy due to his sudden change in state of mind.

He could no longer maintain his human form and reverted to his pangolin form, curling up into a ball.

His entire body was covered in thick scales.

Legend has it that once a pangolin curls itself up, even tigers and lions cannot get a chance to bite it.

A dark brown, scaly ball appeared on the jade floor tile; it was round and quite sturdy.

Mao Qiu'er lifted her foot, clad in golden shoes, and stomped on it.

The gold shoes and scales clanged together, making a clattering sound.

Her voice was smug: "As expected of a shad, the texture of your scales is truly exquisite. I should take you back, skin you, and make a suit of armor from your skin..."

A gust of wind rushed towards her ear.

Mao Qiu'er was still wondering what it was when a loud "thud" was heard.

She spun around and rolled a full circle before falling backward onto the ground.

"clang--"

The soup spoon was thrown away.

The girl she had never met before sat on her lap and, without saying a word, punched her in the face.

"Who are you... Someone help me... I need help... Are you Zhao... Um..."

One punch after another.

They didn't give her a chance to speak at all.

A series of muffled thuds made the onlookers cover their faces, as if they could feel the long-lost physical pain.

Punches landed heavily on Mao Qiu'er's face. Her front teeth were broken, her mouth was full of blood, and bubbles were rising from it.

I wonder what realm Mao Qiu'er is at.

Regardless of the level of cultivation, if Zhao Xi wants to fight, he can.

They dared to bully Xiao Jia, forcing him to revert to his original form, and even stomped on him so hard.

Mao Qiu'er's nose was visibly crooked, her face was covered in bruises, her eyes rolled upwards, and she finally fainted.

But Zhao Xi didn't stop. He sat on her and kept punching her, unilaterally beating Mao Qiu'er.

Her hatred reached its peak, and her fists were covered in blood, yet she felt no pain.

Die!

Go to hell!

I'll beat you to death!

Just as she was about to strike again, her arm was suddenly grabbed from behind.

He turned and glared at her fiercely.

A person wearing a veiled hat and a white robe with wide sleeves stood behind.

A deep, magnetic voice came from under the veil.

"Enough!"

Zhao Xi was momentarily dazed, and only after a moment of hesitation did she remember that he was Lin Che.

She tried to pull her hand away from his, but failed. Frowning impatiently, she said, "Let go of me! I'm going to kill her!"

"Even in your world, killing one or two rare animals wouldn't warrant the death penalty, let alone this mere monster. Are you really so angry because of Xiao Jia?"

"She first tortured and killed the panda, then beat Xiao Jia back to its original form. She's so arrogant, and she even wanted to peel off his scales. Doesn't she deserve to die?!"

A sigh came from beneath the veil.

He tucked the small, ball-shaped armor he was holding into Zhao Xixiang's arms.

"Mao Qiu'er is stronger than demonic beasts and slaughters them at will. You are stronger than Mao Qiu'er, but if you also slaughter her in the street, how are you any different from her?"

Little Jia's scales are so cold, so icy!

Zhao Xi's anger suddenly dissipated the moment she hugged Xiao Jia.

She stood up from Mao Qiu'er, seemingly only then realizing what she had done. She shook her bloodied fist, took out a cotton coat from her ring, and wrapped Xiao Jia in it.

Mao Qiu'er guesses that next time she sees a monster, she'll have to call it "Grandpa".

The sect leader's daughter was brutally beaten in the street; this is truly alarming news.

The elders of the Five Spirits Sect had arrived, and some had even witnessed the entire process of Mao Qiu'er being knocked unconscious, but none of them dared to come forward.

No one dared to stop the true immortal from leaving.

Zhao Xi glanced around, scanning the astonished faces of the onlookers, and declared loudly, "I'll spare Mao Qiu'er's life today, but if anyone dares to mess with anyone from my Hundred Beasts Garden in the future, I'll beat their brains to a pulp!"
