As for Meng Hu, he was introduced by Guan Qingchen to work at the zoo.

Wanlong Safari Park is the largest privately owned zoo in the city, and the director is a friend of Guan Qingchen. I poured out my troubles to him, saying that the tigers and lions have been acting strangely lately, very difficult to manage, and they're all extremely restless.

Guan Qingchen said, "Are we all experiencing teenage angst?"

The kindergarten director friend rolled his eyes at him, telling him to figure it out himself.

Guan Qingchen shut up at the right moment.

The principal continued spitting, "Several of the park's staff members were bitten, it's really a difficult situation." Paying compensation is a minor matter; thankfully, no one was seriously injured.

It just so happens that Meng Hu is temporarily unemployed again because the "Dust and Fate" crew has disbanded. Guan Qingchen originally wanted him to rest for a while and then introduce him to another film crew, but now that she heard this, she felt that Meng Hu, being a tiger, would be perfectly suited to working in a zoo.

Meng Hu was thus packaged up and sent to Bandung International Wildlife World to become a junior keeper.

The principal was very satisfied.

Meng Hu was tall and strong, and he looked very reliable and hardworking.

Even more miraculously, as soon as Meng Hu arrived at the tiger and lion park, the tigers and lions, which had been roaring wildly at the visitors, suddenly became quiet and looked at Meng Hu with great vigilance.

Meng Hu thanked the headmaster for his careful instructions and went inside on his own.

The headmaster's heart was in his throat, but the fiercest tiger actually lay prostrate on the ground.

The zoo director, being the director, understood that this was a sign of submission from the animal kingdom.

The decision was made immediately: this is a natural-born animal management talent!

Anyway, I heard that Meng Hu is quite happy with his job.

He even became an animal trainer, and the area he was in charge of was the most popular with children.

The reason is simple: the animals there seem to understand human speech, and their performances are more captivating than others. This virtuous cycle has made Meng Hu a veritable internet celebrity at Bandung Wildlife Park.

Every day, tourists who come from far and wide visit the tiger and lion park managed by Meng Hu.

There's even a live streamer named Meng Hu.

Ahhh, this is the guy, he's amazing!

I don't even know if those tigers can understand him; these kings of beasts are as docile as quails in his presence.

[Oops, I want to see the handsome guy!]

The streamer knows exactly what the audience wants to see, and that's what he streams.

As mentioned earlier, none of the demons who cultivate human form are ugly. Meng Hu is tall and strong, but he's not ugly; on the contrary, he's the kind of handsome, sunny man that's quite popular these days.

Meng Hu usually doesn't bother with these people.

Today, he sensed a familiar fluctuation in the air.

Not far away, someone shouted, "What's wrong with that snake? Is it going crazy?"

Meng Hu quickly ran over and saw a Mangshan pit viper, its body covered in a patchwork of green and blue, writhing in agony on the ground.

Meng Hu could tell at a glance that the inner core had been removed.

He couldn't be wrong; after being tormented by that old Taoist for so long, he was all too familiar with the old Taoist's aura.

He immediately abandoned everything in the garden and ran towards the scent.

Meng Hu was not reckless; he immediately notified Jiang Si.

Jiang Si, who was meditating, opened her eyes and said, "We've found that old Taoist priest."

Jiang Si originally thought she would find the old Taoist's aura quickly, but the magic power she had placed on Xiang Zhijue did not move at all.

Logically speaking, the old Taoist priest, having received countless acts of kindness from Xiang Zhiyi using his body as a vessel, should have been tempted to use them for himself, but he did not.

Could it be that he possesses some magical artifact that she is unaware of?

Now that she had the old Taoist's information, Jiang Si naturally wouldn't let it go.

She Zhang and Qi Yan, who had been lying down, also stood up immediately.

The two spoke at the same time: "Where is he?"

We must settle both old and new scores today.

Jiang Si quickly cast an extra layer of protection on Han Yunluo's Soul Nourishing Lamp, so that even a powerful demon wouldn't be able to break in for a while.

Guan Qingchen, who was wielding his sword in the courtyard, turned around and saw a huge golden python standing in front of him, raising its head and hissing.

The snake's head was about the size of a table.

Guan Qingchen: "!!!"

Knowing something is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.

A squeaking little mouse stood on Jiang Si's shoulder, its eyes gleaming fiercely. If he wasn't mistaken, its tail was on fire.

He was worried that his master's hair might catch fire.

Jiang Si flipped over and climbed onto She Zhang's snake head, causing the snake to leap into the air.

Jiang Si left him with the words to take good care of the house.

Guan Qingchen nodded mechanically. The visual impact was more thrilling than any blockbuster. If they cast the real-life inspiration for She Zhang in a film, he could guarantee a box office hit.

The snake leaped a few meters into the air and then disappeared completely.

Guan Qingchen didn't know whether he had become invisible or simply teleported.

One of the two, he seems quite calm right now.

The old Taoist's aura vanished in an instant, but thanks to the concealment talisman given by Jiang Si, Meng Hu was able to catch up without being detected.

While chasing, Meng Hu kept Jiang Si informed.

Finally, on a remote mountaintop, the old Taoist's aura ceased to stir.

Meng Hu and Jiang Si will meet up.

Seeing that She Zhang and Qi Yan had both returned to their original forms, Meng Hu let out a low growl and also transformed back into his original form, a wild Northeast tiger as large as a small house, with his front paws pawing the ground and his head lowered, in a posture ready to attack.

Qi Yan, standing on his shoulder, commanded: "Advance! Go find him and take revenge!"

Jiang Si dared not let her guard down, as the old Taoist priest had escaped several times.

The group concealed their presence, formed an encirclement, and slowly approached. Ahead lay a hidden cave.

Qi Yan was small in stature, so Jiang Si sent him in first to scout out the situation, and warned him not to act rashly.

Qi Yan turned around and made a sound, meaning that he wasn't that stupid.

Knowing you can't win, isn't that just handing yourself a free kill?

Inside the cave, Zhang Daoming sat cross-legged on a straw mat, his face glowing. In his hand was the inner core of the unfortunate snake that had been nearly crippled by Jiang Si.

The inner core was emitting a green light and was shrinking at a visible rate.

Without the inner core, the path of cultivation is completely severed.

Zhang Daoming is ruthless enough; that Mangshan iron-headed man helped him so much after all.

Qi Yan quickly surveyed the surroundings. There were no tunnels or hidden caves. This was like catching a turtle in a jar!

He went outside and reported the situation inside to Jiang Si.

Jiang Si naturally wouldn't wait for the old Taoist to finish absorbing the energy; now was the perfect time to reap the rewards, as a slight misstep could lead to a qi deviation.

She led the group in with an air of nonchalance.

The already small space inside was squeezed even smaller by the two enormous animals.

Jiang Si: "I have long admired your name, Daoist Master." As she spoke, Jiang Si disregarded all martial ethics and directly struck him with the Heavenly Gang Talisman.

The Heavenly Gang Talisman was extremely powerful and fierce. Before Zhang Daoming could even react in shock, he was struck and fell to the ground, crying out in pain.

He glared fiercely at Jiang Si: "It's you!"

"Yes, it's me."
