He was truly exasperated with this brat. If any other chosen woman had heard him say that, alarm bells would have gone off, and she would have wanted to fix the chain as soon as possible. She was just giving him this piece of junk!

“Tao Tao, you don’t understand,” Tian Ning sighed, “We’re about to get busy, so let’s relax a bit before we get busy.”

Taotie: "..."

Qiongqi leaned over and whispered to Taotie, "What kind of thing is this chosen one? She has no ambition whatsoever!"

For no apparent reason, Taotie felt tears welling up in the corners of its eyes.

Good bro, it understands him!

Considering that the area given by Tianji Pavilion was very large, the group discussed on the way that instead of searching in a large group, which would be less efficient, they should split into three groups, each searching for a specific area.

The disciples of the Six Sects formed one group; the senior brothers and sisters of the Sword Protection Mountain formed another group; and Tianning, Taotie, Qiongqi, and Tiandao formed yet another group.

The reason Tianning was separated was because no one could control the two ferocious beasts.

According to the assignment, the six disciples were to search for people in the capital; the senior brothers and sisters of the Sword Protection Mountain were to secretly sneak into the imperial city to search for people; Tian Ning and the others were to search outside the capital, but Qiongqi was such a big tiger that it was too scary to enter the capital.

In order to find their missing daughter as soon as possible, the sect leader of Fuxian Sect sent people to deliver many useful items from the human realm, including an extremely rare search stone.

This stone looks ordinary, but if the person you are looking for is within a radius of 500 miles, it will emit a faint light, and the light will become brighter as you get closer to the person you are looking for.

There were only three of these items, so the group was divided into three groups.

Unable to enter the capital, Tianning could only resign himself to his fate and search along the official road, planning to explore the nearby counties.

As a result, the soldiers wouldn't let the tiger onto the official road either. If Tianning hadn't been quick enough to cover the tiger's mouth, Qiongqi would have been so angry that it would have started cursing!

This human realm is truly damned; it can't be allowed in or out anywhere!

After all, this isn't the cultivation world. If a tiger in the human realm spoke human language, it would either scare people to death or be considered an evil spirit.

Qiongqi didn't understand these intricacies; it was simply unhappy and was about to open its blood-red maw to teach those humans a lesson when Tianning stopped it.

That brat is really bold, daring to cover its mouth with her hand!

The Qiongqi of today is not the Taotie that has been beaten down by society. Its first reaction is to bite the hand in its mouth to pieces! To let Tianning know the consequences of daring to teach it to do things!

However, no matter how much force it used, its sharp teeth could not pierce Tianning's skin.

How could that be... It just doesn't believe it!

However, before they could even put up a fight, Qiongqi suddenly felt a tightness on his back, and his tiger fur almost stood on end!

It never imagined that Tianning would be so bold as to lift it away by the scruff of its neck like a kitten, and then politely apologize to the two soldiers afterwards.

"I'm sorry, I was raised to not speak like that, I scared you."

Soldier:"……"

The two soldiers were clearly terrified by the girl's audacity in carrying the tiger away with her bare hands; she was incredibly brave!

The boy beside the girl remained expressionless, showing no concern whatsoever. The handsome man accompanying the girl wore an expression of schadenfreude…

Such a strange combination gives people an indescribable sense of unease.

"What happened?"

A luxurious carriage stopped at the border. Inside, a maid lifted the curtain, and a wealthy man dressed in elegant attire spoke.

"Greetings, Crown Princess!"

The soldier saluted and quickly explained what had just happened.

"A strange group of people?" The Crown Princess murmured, repeating the soldier's words, her gaze fixed on the direction the group had left in.

Who is that? Why is he here?

She had never seen such dazzling and remarkable fortune before...
