No words could describe Xi Xizhi's feelings at this moment; her azure eyes instantly welled up with tears.
In a flash, it darted past people's feet and into the crowd.
In the middle, there was a person with gray hair, wearing a gray cloth robe, who looked very energetic.
Xi Xizhi stretched out her claws and tugged hard at his trouser hem, trying to get his attention.
Xi Xizhi's master is named Xi Zhen, who was the closest and most familiar person to Xi Xizhi in her previous life.
Xi Zhen was holding an old woman's hand, seemingly taking her pulse.
Xi Xizhi knew perfectly well that her master had no knowledge of medicine or pulse diagnosis.
In reality, he was using spiritual power to heal these people.
It was just a show for these refugees to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion.
"Who...who pulled my pants? They're going to fall off!" Xi Zhen shouted, turning around and yelling at the person behind him.
To his surprise, when he turned around, he saw a fat mink struggling to tear at his trousers.
The fabric of his clothes wasn't very sturdy; Xi Xizhi had already torn a hole in it...
Immediately, his wrinkled face broke into a wide grin, looking as cunning as could be. "Oh... we can add some dishes to tonight's meal."
Xi Xizhi froze, her hands stopping moving.
He was so angry he gritted his teeth.
Eat...eat...eat, what a rascal who only knows how to eat!
Xi Xizhi cursed inwardly.
They didn't even realize that she was so attached to food that she couldn't tear herself away.
Like teacher, like student.
"Chirp chirp..." Master.
Xi Xizhi still clung to Xi Zhen's trousers, acting somewhat like a spoiled brat.
But in Xi Zhen's eyes, this thing was a delicacy! Seeing that no one around was fighting over the ferret, he reached out and grabbed it into his arms.
His movements were anything but gentle; he grabbed Xi Xizhi's neck and lifted her up.
"Not bad, it's quite fatty, enough for one of my meals."
Before Xi Zhen could finish laughing, An Honghan suddenly raised his hand and attacked Xi Zhen.
An Honghan's move was swift, ruthless, and precise, striking directly at Xi Zhen's wrist.
After consuming the Dragon Ball, An Honghan underwent a complete transformation, becoming even more adept at using martial arts techniques.
Xi Zhen was no ordinary person either; he was an ascended immortal cultivator! He was no pushover after all, and he nimbly leaped away.
The two locked eyes, the tension palpable.
Xi Zhen jumped two meters away, landed steadily, shook his head at An Honghan, and said in a condescending tone, "Young man, it's not a good thing to be so ruthless."
He lifted the mink in his hand a little higher and continued, "This mink is yours? It's quite plump. Why don't we use it for a treat? My cooking skills will satisfy you."
Xi Xizhi hates it when someone grabs her by the neck; even An Honghan wouldn't treat her like that!
And this old fellow, upon first meeting her, not only wanted to eat the flesh of his obedient apprentice, but also dared to boast about his culinary skills in front of her master.
This is truly shamelessness, unprecedented and unparalleled.
“I think… you’d better let it go, otherwise you’ll suffer later.” An Honghan stood face to face with Xi Zhen, showing absolutely no interest in what Xi Zhen had just said.
"Young man, don't be so arrogant. Haven't you heard the old saying, 'Old ginger is spicier'?" Misunderstanding An Honghan's meaning, Xi Zhen directly interpreted it as a provocation.
After all, this mink belongs to someone else. Xi Zhen is a reasonable person, and he couldn't bring himself to steal someone else's things in front of so many people.
At worst, he can go to the wild again later and hunt some game.
However... Xi Zhen looked at the sable with a deeper meaning. From the moment they first met, he noticed that the sable possessed spiritual energy and had even formed an inner core.
That's quite promising...
Once a demon cultivates and forms an inner core, it only needs to wait until it advances to the next level of cultivation before encountering a calamity.
If you survive the tribulation of lightning safely, you will be able to ascend to immortality.
This ferret is just a little bit away from taking that step.
What I said earlier about killing this mink for a feast was just a lie.
After all, once the spirits of plants, trees, and stones awaken their divine sense, they will possess consciousness and be able to think independently.
It would be a waste of its cultivation to just eat it like that.
Xi Zhen swung a mink around in the air and threw it toward An Honghan.
In fact, An Honghan had no intention of getting physical with him.
Despite knowing that his strength was many times greater than before, An Honghan was still unsure whether he could defeat the cultivator before him.
With his hands outstretched, An Honghan caught the small body of the ferret, held it in his arms, and gently stroked it.
“She doesn’t like it when someone grabs her by the neck, it hurts a lot.” An Honghan said this out of the blue, which startled Xi Zhen.
He thought to himself, what does it matter to him whether that mink is comfortable or not?
The thought of the delicious food that was about to be eaten flying away made Xi Zhen feel annoyed. She turned around to leave, but before she could take a step, the young man behind her spoke again.
"I know where the person you're looking for is."
Xi Zhen suddenly stopped, her two gray eyebrows furrowing together, as if she had been mind-read by someone.
"How did you know I was here to see someone?" He narrowed his eyes and looked at me again.
He had only been down from the Heavenly Realm for a few days. He had originally intended to visit his disciple, but upon hearing about the flooding in Fengzhou, he rushed over to check on the situation.
He was shocked when he saw it, which made it impossible for Xi Zhen to find another opportunity to leave.
"Do you have an apprentice?" An Honghan's voice was steady, but it carried a hint of coldness.
Xi Zhen took another look at the other person. This young man had an extraordinary demeanor; just one glance was enough to make him unforgettable.
"What else do you know?" Xi Zhen took two steps forward, her mood no longer as playful as before.
"Not only are you looking for her, she's looking for you too." Ignoring the anxiety and anger of the little ferret in his arms, An Honghan continued to calmly keep the old man in suspense.
Xi Xizhi glared angrily at the old man opposite her. Did he want to eat her alive as soon as they met?! She would settle this score with him sooner or later.
"Do you know her whereabouts?" Xi Zhen was somewhat anxious, yet he dared not easily trust the other party.
