Qiqi wasn't really in the mood to solve the mystery; she just wanted to get back safely as soon as possible so her mother wouldn't worry.

However, things don't always go as planned, and sometimes accidents happen unexpectedly.

Just as they were resting and waiting for Huo Yuwei to wake up before leaving, the ground suddenly shook violently.

"What's going on?" Tiger Eagle, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly scrambled to his feet and peered into the distance where the commotion was coming from.

Qi Qi also stood up, her gaze grave and worried. "Such strong demonic energy!"

"A demon?" Tiger Eagle was stunned. "When did there become a demon here besides me?"

"You should be asking me that, this is your territory!"

"I don't know!"

Tiger Eagle was also innocent; he genuinely didn't know.

He always thought that the demons in the secret realm had all been killed by that little girl.

Moreover, he hadn't sensed any demonic presence in this secret realm for over a thousand years.

How come a demon suddenly appeared?

Moreover, judging from its aura, it's a powerful demon!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground grew louder as it approached them.

Tiger Eagle narrowed his eyes. "Little girl, since you were able to get in here, you must be quite big. Can you handle this thing?"

Qiqi blinked innocently, her face full of cuteness. "Little Tiger, what are you talking about? I'm just a three-year-old child, what could I possibly do!"

Tiger Eagle: ...

You're faking it! Keep faking it!

"My spiritual power is still with you. What have you returned to me? Maintaining human form is already a struggle. You don't expect me to deal with that great demon, do you?!" Judging from the aura, that great demon is no weaker than him.

At his peak, he was evenly matched with his opponent.

Right now, I'm afraid we can't even beat one of their fingers.

"Then I'll give the spiritual power back to you!" Qiqi said, about to return the spiritual power.

"No!" Tiger Eagle stopped him. "You're a Celestial Master, after all. You have so many talismans that are naturally effective against demons. With my spiritual power added, dealing with this demon shouldn't be a problem!"

If he were to go instead, he would probably have a very difficult time, and he might not even be able to win!

"You actually sent a three-year-old child to face such a powerful demon, you little tiger, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Qiqi stared with her round eyes, full of accusation, making Hu Ying wonder if he had really gone too far.

He began to reflect, and then compromised, "Just consider it something I owe you. You can ask me to do something for you later, is that alright?"

That's exactly what I've been waiting for.

"Okay! It's a deal!" Qiqi raised her little hand and gave Tiger Eagle a high five to seal the deal, leaving him completely bewildered.

Tiger Eagle: ...

Wait a minute, did he get tricked?

Could this girl have planned from the very beginning to trick him into agreeing?

"You were just... acting with me, weren't you?" Right!

Qiqi put on her signature cute expression and said, "Little Tiger, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Tiger Eagle: ...

Is he overthinking things?

Ultimately, he's just a three-year-old child.

Moreover, she has a soft and chubby face, big, watery eyes, and an innocent and naive appearance, which makes her seem completely unlike someone who can act.

Maybe he's just overthinking things!

"It's nothing," Tiger Eagle reassured himself.

Qiqi turned her head, covered her mouth, and chuckled secretly.

Little Tiger is indeed stupid and foolish, and too easy to fool!

Aside from those in secret realms, someone like him would definitely be swindled out of everything.

So, she should just go out and take him home to protect him.

Wow, she's so kind!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The loud thud of the heavy object hitting the ground grew closer and closer, even bringing a tremor that shook the earth.

Qiqi looked up and saw a huge snake charging straight towards her.

"Ugh...what an ugly snake!" She was terrified of these invertebrate reptiles, and goosebumps rose on her skin.

The giant snake, completely absorbed in its elegant crawling posture, was stunned upon hearing this, its lantern-sized eyes filled with disbelief.

What the heck?

ugly?!

No, it's definitely not about him!

He is a rare, majestic and imposing figure among snakes, and he is about to transform into an Yinglong. How could he be ugly!

This little girl has absolutely no taste!

"Hiss..." The giant snake hissed warningly at Qiqi.

Little girl, I'll give you one more chance to say it again!

"Ugh, so noisy, shut up!" Qiqi doesn't like reptiles, and she doesn't even like their sounds.

It hissed and hissed, making your scalp tingle!

She raised her hand and threw a mute note over, intending to manually mute the snake.

The giant snake deftly swayed its head, thus avoiding the fate of having the talisman pasted on its head.

But he forgot that he was huge; he could hide from the head but not the tail. The talisman landed on the snake and turned into a golden light that entered his body.

Orochi: ? ? ? ?

"Hiss hiss hiss..." He wanted to say, little girl, what are you up to?

As a result, the snake's tongue flickered in and out, but it couldn't make a sound.

The giant snake was shocked!

The giant serpent was puzzled!

The giant snake stared intently at Qiqi with its lantern-sized eyes.

The questioning look in his eyes was obvious: What did you do?

"Little snake," Qiqi put her hands on her hips, walked up to the big snake, and adopted a negotiating stance, "Do you want to get beaten up, or do you want to eat something delicious?"

Tiger Eagle: ...

No, does this little brat have some kind of misunderstanding about his age?

This three-year-old brat is calling these ancient monsters "little tiger" and "little snake."

They really aren't afraid of getting beaten up.

"Hiss hiss hiss..." The giant snake silently flicked its tongue, clearly as angry as Tiger Eagle had imagined.

Where did this little girl come from? Doesn't she have any manners?

He is the ancestor of snakes, not a little snake.

Qiqi took out a talisman, held it between her fingers, and waved it threateningly.

Orochi: ...

He remembered this thing; it was just like this that had rendered him speechless.

He glanced fearfully at the talisman in Qiqi's hand, his tongue flicking in and out.

"You're too big, it's tiring for me to talk to you, please shrink a little!"

Qiqi stood with her hands on her hips and her head tilted back. This snake was huge! When it was coiled up, it was bigger than their big villa. It was too tiring for her to look at its head!

The giant snake stared with its snake eyes, wondering if this girl even knew who she was talking to.

Who does she think she is, ordering him around like that? He swallowed her whole without even chewing!

"roar……"

The giant snake silently opened its mouth wide, revealing several sharp, venomous fangs. The teeth gleamed coldly, looking terrifying.

After roaring, Snake Eyes looked at Qiqi, seemingly anticipating her fearful reaction.

snort!

This little kid has probably never seen anything so terrifying.

This will surely give you nightmares at night!

But Qiqi covered her face in disgust, exclaiming, "Oh dear, little snake, do you never brush your teeth? Your breath smells so bad! If you don't take care of your dental hygiene, all your teeth will fall out!"
