The sword swayed and fell slowly. Ma Lihua could no longer chase after it, and her appearance returned to that of a weak, powerless, and extremely delicate woman.

Tie Zhu looked back and chuckled. "Little brat, trying to catch me? If that kid Chi You hadn't lost when he climbed onto my back, would he have lost?"

Before it could even feel happy, it suddenly felt terrible. What did it see? Scales?

Suddenly, the bear was stunned. He thought, "I'm going to die! This is... damn it! I've arrived at the place where the boss molted!"

"Awooo!" [Don't come any closer!]

"Awooooo!" [Looks like I'll have to lure her away.]

The bear's face, whose color was indistinguishable, displayed a rich array of expressions, its dark, gleaming eyes darting around rapidly.

Ma Lihua didn't know why it stopped, and it was making "howling" noises again, and she didn't know what it was so excited about.

Neither the person nor the bear moved. Ma Lihua quickly found a clean place to sit down and catch her breath before doing anything else.

Ma Hehua and Ma Linghua wandered around in the woods. "Mother, which way should we go?"

"You're asking me? Who should I ask?" Ma Linghua looked at the clouds in the sky and then at the trees on the ground. They all looked exactly the same!

The two of them smelled faintly of mentholatum, and the grass had withered when they passed by.

"Brother Leopard, why does this Ailao Mountain have such a human touch?" said a man dressed as a woodcutter who looked like a human.

"Oh! That's our young master's guest. Don't you dare lay a hand on him! It wasn't easy for you to come all the way from Mount Ling. You haven't left the mountain for hundreds of years. If it weren't for your sensible nature, I wouldn't have let you in!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Leopard, I'm lucky to have met you passing by Mount Ling. Thank you very much."

Huang Bao thought it seemed to understand human relationships and social customs, but he didn't miss the hint of desire in its eyes.

Huang Bao grinned and said, "Alright, if you don't want to stay in Ailao Mountain, you can just go down the mountain."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Yellow Leopard gave the porcupine demon a meaningful look, smacked his lips, and licked his scarlet tongue.

"Yellow Leopard, why did you let it go? We've been scrambling to find food for our master, and you let this porcupine demon escape? Aren't you afraid of getting whipped?"

The densely packed demonic beasts around them all stared at Huang Bao. Huang Bao touched his fair face and said, "What's the rush? We can just go collect the corpses later."

“But young master likes to eat them alive?” a demon beast said.

"Don't worry, I have a way to kill this one." Huang Bao's eyes were full of confidence.

So everyone dispersed and went off to gather food, because if they didn't gather food, these were what they would eat.

The porcupine did not leave Ailao Mountain. Now that the barrier was gone, people could come and go freely, except for the days when Shangguan Wenyan molted, because he needed food.

“It’s the New Year and nothing good has happened. Mother, why don’t we burn some paper money for those old ladies and let them have some good luck?” Ma Hehua started nagging again.

"Stop!" Ma Linghua said calmly.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

"Here it comes, get your weapons, quick!" Ma Linghua jumped onto a tree with incredible speed.

Ma Hehua reacted quickly, jumping onto a tree and drawing her large sword from her back once she was steady.

All that could be seen was a deep pit where she and her mother had just been.

Her eyes were filled with ruthlessness; someone had actually come to her door with a death wish.

"Hehe! Two little vixens, looks like they've got some skills! But that's fine too, eating them will be more beneficial to me." The porcupine grinned greedily.

"Drink, tui! Eat us? You've got some nerve! Don't you even know who you are? Not only are you ugly, but your voice sounds like you've eaten shit. You think you're worthy?"

Before the porcupine could react, Mahehua descended from the sky.

"Drink! You demon, take this!"

Ma Linghua: "…………………………"

The porcupine never expected that this woman would be so uncivilized, attacking him without warning. A pungent odor made him feel terrible.

With a stomp of its foot, a deep pit immediately appeared in the ground, and then it disappeared from the spot, with Ma Lihua's large knife embedded three meters into the ground.

The porcupine's eyelids twitched. If it got hit by this, it would be completely wiped out (meaning it was dead).

"Tsk! Why are you dodging?" Ma Hehua asked him matter-of-factly.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'm not going to dodge and let you chop me down? I'm not an idiot." The porcupine was speechless.

"Fine, I like rebellious demons." As she spoke, a twisted smile appeared on her face.

Ma Linghua couldn't bear to look at it; it was fucking awful.

Hundreds of years ago, these porcupines didn't find female humans so ugly; they were really hard to bite.

Seeing his disgusted look, Ma Hehua's chest heaved. "How dare you look down on me?" She couldn't stand men who judged by appearances.

True beauty lies in the inner self.

She drew her broadsword and flew directly at the porcupine. She jumped incredibly high, her face contorted with anger. Losing control of her strength, she flew straight into a tree branch, the red ropes on her two long braids snapping off the branches.

Her hair instantly fell down, completely obscuring her eyes.

"Mother, I can't see anymore, what should I do, Mother... Mother... I can't get down..."

Ma Linghua: "……………………"

porcupine:"……………………"

"Are you out of your mind? Just brush your hair back with your hand, and you'll see! What are you doing with that big knife? Use it to cut tree branches! Then you'll be down, won't you? Ugh... are you trying to drive me crazy?" Ma Linghua couldn't hold back any longer.

"Auntie, a girl like that is better off without. It would be better to..."

"Snap!"

A curved knife was placed directly at the porcupine's throat, which the porcupine blocked with its hooves, and some sweat dripped from its forehead.

"You actually resorted to underhanded tactics." His face instantly turned vicious; this woman seemed even more ruthless than the last one!

He had to be careful; the snake fairy was the most difficult to deal with.

"A beast dares to challenge my Ma family!" Ma Linghua's face was sinister, and her actions were ruthless.

Her body moved as nimbly as a swallow, and she flew towards the porcupine, whose eyes were fixed on her.

Ma Linghua slashed her curved dagger toward his neck, and the porcupine immediately staggered back a few steps. With a "whoosh," a centipede-like scar appeared on his face from the severe wound inflicted by the curved dagger.

The blood that had been flowing steadily began to trickle down, and the pig demon tried to replenish it with its demonic energy, but it was no use.

"What kind of magical artifact is that?" the porcupine asked angrily, a hint of fear creeping into its heart.

"Hmph! It's a magic weapon that can pull out tendons and bones." With that, she used the Shadow Step to get close to the porcupine.

The porcupine realized this couldn't go on. Its eyes turned bloodshot, and it let out a fierce howl.

"Pitter-patter... (Imagine it's a pig squealing!)"

His clothes and pants burst open, and from his eyes to his body and feet, he underwent a beastly transformation.
