It's unclear what tricks Qu Ruxue had up her sleeve, or whether she already knew the location of the Black Demon Tiger's lair.

After reaching the outside of the tiger's den, she found the entrance without the slightest hesitation, and then, without any wavering, accurately headed towards the center of the cave through the winding passages.

Just before she reached the center of the cave, she paused briefly before stepping inside, a fitting smile on her face.

But as soon as she entered, she was dumbfounded, because the cave in front of her was empty. Not only were there no millet and potatoes as expected, but even the Black Tiger family that should have been there had disappeared.

Instantly, Qu Ruxue's composed smile vanished, a sense of unease flashing through her mind. She quickly extended her divine sense to survey the entire cave, trying to find the millet.

Unfortunately, even though she could scan the entire cave with her divine sense, she still couldn't find the person she was looking for.

Even the aura that originally belonged to the Black Demon Tiger was gradually fading, indicating that its master had been gone for quite some time.

This realization made Qu Ruxue's face turn as black as the bottom of a pot, and her expression became gloomy.

With a thought, a black demon tiger, even larger than the one Shushu had seen before, appeared in the cave, trembling and prostrating itself before Qu Ruxue.

However, Qu Ruxue did not give it any kind look at this moment, and her tone was cold.

"Black Tiger, I'll give you fifteen minutes to find your wife, children, and that person. Otherwise, you know what I'm capable of."

After saying that, Qu Ruxue took out a chaise lounge from her spatial storage, leaned against it, and looked into the deeper part of the cave with an inscrutable expression.

Upon seeing this, the black tiger shakily got up and began sniffing around the cave, seemingly searching for something. As it walked, it eventually left the cave.

Seeing this, Qu Ruxue didn't bother with it. Anyway, there was a contract, and it couldn't escape her grasp.

If it weren't for the contract between this Black Demon Tiger and this body, she would have already skinned and gutted it; it was just a useless piece of trash.

Thinking of this body, Qu Ruxue couldn't help but touch the string of beads on her wrist.

He squeezed one of the unremarkable brown beads hard, and a shrill scream echoed in his mind.

After a while, the screams stopped, and a voice exactly like hers echoed in her mind: "You thief, you'll die a horrible death."

Upon hearing this, Qu Ruxue's originally gloomy face revealed a strange smile, and she pinched the bead hard again.

Instantly, screams filled her mind again, but Qu Ruxue couldn't help but smile up, revealing a satisfied smile.

Indeed, tormenting others is the best way to please oneself, she thought, and her hands continued to move.

She only stopped when the scream in her mind grew fainter and fainter until it was almost inaudible, with a look of regret on her face.

He checked the time; there were still a few breaths left until a quarter of an hour. His gaze turned to the spot where the Black Demon Tiger had left earlier.

The black tiger trembled and its legs shook, looking terrified yet forced to approach.

Seeing that it didn't dare to look up and meet her gaze, Qu Ruxue understood that it meant it hadn't found either the person or the tiger.

In an instant, a dangerous smile appeared on Qu Ruxue's lips, and a sharp whip covered in barbs appeared in her hand.

The next moment, a shrill wail echoed from inside the cave, but because the master had set up an isolation array beforehand, none of these sounds escaped.

It wasn't until the person holding the whip noticed movement outside the cave, as if someone had come looking for her, that she quickly put away the whip and the Black Demon Tiger, dispersed the bloody smell from the cave, and tidied her appearance.

After thinking for a moment, she flashed to a spot not far from the exit before slowly walking out.

They had only taken a few steps when they bumped into a black figure, none other than Zang Wenxing.

Upon seeing Qu Ruxue, Zang Wenxing asked with concern, "Ruxue, are you alright?"

When Qu Ruxue met the other person's concerned expression, she first smiled back, and then asked in confusion, "I'm fine, why did you come here?"

Zang Wenxing looked her over carefully and, seeing that she was alright, breathed a sigh of relief before explaining, "I saw that you had been out for quite a while and was worried that something might have happened to you, so I came over. I'm glad you're alright."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to notice the cave behind Qu Ruxue: "Why does it seem like there's a trace of the Black Demon Tiger's aura in here? Is this the same one we encountered before? Could this be its cave?"

Qu Ruxue, however, showed no panic whatsoever, and nodded with a smile: "It should be so, the aura inside is even stronger."

At this point, she looked at Zang Wenxing, a hint of worry flashing across her face, and continued.

"But I didn't see those two or Black Tiger just now, and I don't know how they are. If they left for Fenggu City and Hei Wanran saw them, there will be more trouble. Sigh!"

The final sigh was the finishing touch; Zang Wenxing instantly recalled what Hei Wanran had done, his face darkened, and he began to grit his teeth.

"When I get back this time, I'm going to confront the Hei family and demand an explanation. The Zang and Qu families aren't easy to bully. I refuse to believe that the Hei family can still control everything in Fenggu City..."

Zang Wenxing, engrossed in his rant and rave, failed to notice the smile playing on his lips behind Qu Ruxue's brows as he cursed.

Even when he was about to stop, she would subtly stir things up, pushing Zang Wenxing's disgust for Hei Wanran to its peak.

What Zang Wenxing didn't know was that as he passionately raged, both he and Hei Wanran were gradually losing their luck.

Unbeknownst to everyone, including the Heavenly Dao itself, this fortune silently appeared upon Qu Ruxue.

Qu Ruxue, after sensing the continuous flow of fortune, first confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the Heaven-Covering Leaves before carefully enveloping them in a magical artifact in her dantian, and finally, she carefully covered them with the Heaven-Covering Leaves.

After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious.

At the same time, he recalled the intense alert given by the Venerable One's specially crafted fortune-sensing artifact when he encountered Shushu today, knowing that Shushu was a person with extremely good fortune.

With an attitude of absolutely not letting this opportunity pass, she glanced around and interrupted Zang Wenxing.

"Wenxing, could you help me find those two people from today? I'm worried that if I don't remind her, she'll definitely be dealt with by Hei Wanran if she goes to Fenggu City."

Zang Wenxing was taken aback by the abrupt interruption, but when he met Qu Ruxue's expectant gaze, he nodded almost without hesitation and said, "Okay."

The two then started talking about how to find people.

Meanwhile, the millet they were looking for actually came into contact with Hei Wanran.
