A slender young woman, dressed in a dark blue long gown, emerged discreetly from the darkness. Despite the wide sleeves, she appeared small sitting atop such a large tiger.
Carrying a shovel, she entered the crowd's view and saw the little turtle wrapped up in the furnace, its whole body emitting a red light.
It seems to be coming from the pearl necklace around her neck.
She touched the pearl and reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll go and bring the Prime Minister back right away."
The pearl seemed to bounce, and the red light immediately disappeared.
The group initially wanted to pretend they weren't familiar with each other, but given their appearances, how could they not be?
While they were working in the mountains, they often saw Zhao Xi dressed in the simple clothes of a peasant girl, wearing a straw hat, digging for vegetables, fishing, and helping monsters clean their nests.
Cleaning up monster lairs and clearing out are not the same thing.
Cleaning up means eliminating monsters, while sweeping removes garbage and pests, making the monsters living in their dens more comfortable.
They're just monsters. The zookeeper would obviously turn them into food, so why treat them like this? Aren't those monsters just domesticated livestock?!
They didn't understand and timidly retreated a circle.
On one hand, they were afraid of tigers, but on the other hand, they were afraid of this mortal.
Zhao Xi scanned their guilty faces, slapping his hand with the shovel, and asked coldly, "I took you in and made you pay to cultivate in the meditation room. I had you clean up the ruins of the Five Elements Sect to make room for you to build houses. We didn't care about that volcano; we originally planned to use it for you. You're really something, not only plundering my Hundred Beast Garden's resources but also kidnapping my disciple, intending to refine him into a celestial servant?"
At this point, she raised her voice, enunciating each word clearly, "What...crime...you...have?!"
What an imposing question!
The voice, filled with fury, resounded throughout Dog Tail Mountain, echoing loudly.
Birds took flight in fright, and the monsters in the darkness were disturbed, but instead of leaving, they gathered around.
They glared angrily at the cultivators of the Ende Sect, as if they shared a common hatred for the enemy.
The righteous spirit between heaven and earth was actually protecting the demon beasts!
They became increasingly confused and lowered their heads in shame.
"You bunch of cowards! She's just a mortal!" Shao Ende yelled at them. "With so many of you, are you afraid of a mortal and a few demonic beasts? Fight! Charge!"
Upon hearing this, everyone brandished their magical artifacts, their eyes gleaming with menacing light.
Shao Ende walked a few steps to the furnace, grabbed the Prime Minister and took him hostage.
Zhao Xi snorted coldly, jumped off the tiger, and shielded it behind her. Ignoring the incoming spells, she calmly called out, "Prime Minister, have you forgotten all the spells you learned from your father god? You actually need me, the headmaster, to come and save you personally. Aren't you ashamed?"
The prime minister used his nailless claw to poke outwards, easily piercing the yellow talisman paper. Half his head poked out, sobbing, "I'm not a sea turtle, I'm just a little turtle, waaaah... Don't come to save me, let me become turtle jelly... waaaah..."
