Qi Yu silently placed Xiao Hei on his shoulder and said, "I don't eat dog meat, as long as you can fulfill your duties."
Just as Little Black breathed a sigh of relief, it heard its owner uttering devilish whispers.
"Of course, if you're no longer useful, I wouldn't mind giving it a try."
Xiao Hei: "..."
It said tremblingly, "...Master, Master, Xiao Hei is a wolf, not a dog."
"Oh, then the wolf meat must be even fresher."
"Awooo!!!!!"
The pitiful howls of wolves startled An Rong'er and her companions, who were hunting monsters not far away.
An Rong'er had just pulled a burrowing rat out of its hole and was about to put it into her storage bag when she heard this noise. Alertly, she drew out her weapon—a soft sword.
"Is that a wolf howling?"
One of the men frowned and said, "It's the sound of wolves howling. Wolves always appear in packs. I wonder what level of monster these wolves are. There are too many of them, I'm afraid we can't handle them. Should we leave first?"
Another woman hesitated and said, "If we get into a pack of wolves, it might be hard to escape. Should we go and save that person?"
An Rong'er said coldly, "Qin Zhao, are you stupid? We are in competition with others now. Do you expect me to be a pushover? Besides, if that person knew he couldn't beat the wolf demon, he would have used the distress bell to get out."
"Then this nest of burrowing rats..."
An Rong'er gritted her teeth. She and Zhao Si had spent a lot of effort killing the burrowing rats, but since the burrows were underground, it would take a lot of time to get them out. If the wolf pack came, they would definitely not be able to handle it.
"Let's go first, make a mark, and come back to pick it up in a while."
After saying that, An Rong'er covered the hole in the ground with soil, threw a red stone in it, and walked in the opposite direction of the wolf howling.
Zhao Si glanced at Qin Zhao and left.
Qin Zhao bit her lower lip and followed.
Qi Yu, feeling refreshed after scaring Xiao Hei, walked to the spot where An Rong'er had just been, completely unaware that her impulsive joke had caused such a beautiful misunderstanding.
Little Black obediently clung to her right shoulder, sniffed, and pointed with its paw at a hole that looked like it had just been filled in, saying, "Master, it smells like a burrowing rat. There should be a nest down there."
"Hmm?" Qi Yu kicked away a red stone on the mound of earth, and then used the "like carving and polishing" technique to reopen the hole.
A litter of lifeless, plump, black-haired rats appeared before her eyes.
Qi Yu smiled. "Who's so kind as to kill someone and then not bother to take the body away? Was it specifically left for me?"
She took out her storage bag and put the burrowing rats into it one by one, sighing:
"Thank you for the gifts of nature..."
The council members who witnessed the entire process were speechless.
When An Rong'er and the other two returned later, they exclaimed, "...Who was it?!"
"Who stole my burrowing mouse?!"
...
Having successfully snagged a bargain, Qi Yu hummed a nonsensical tune and wandered around.
With Xiao Hei leading the way, she encountered only relatively weak monsters along the way, which she could easily kill.
During this time, she also encountered several cultivators who were hunting demonic beasts, but as soon as they saw her from afar, they all ran away without a trace.
Qi Yu, who had only intended to help out casually and complete her daily good deed task at the same time: "..."
There's no need to run so fast.
The sounds of fighting came from ahead again. Qi Yu jumped onto a tree and squinted to look.
A slender man, not particularly strong, was facing a giant bear three times his size. Under normal circumstances, it would have seemed like the man would have been torn to pieces, but at this moment, the situation was completely reversed.
The man was dressed in white, with a small green-furred beast sitting on his shoulder, and his movements were slow and gentle.
He held no weapon, yet conjured several thick, barbed vines out of thin air, which strangled the terrifyingly large bear to death.
After the battle, the man was completely untouched by dust and still had that gentle demeanor. He waved his hand, used vines to throw the giant bear into his storage bag, and then turned to look in Qi Yu's direction.
Ren Pingsheng looked at her with some surprise and smiled at her from a distance, saying, "Miss Yu, I didn't expect to run into you again."
The dying howl of the giant bear still seemed to echo in his ears, but the man was completely unaffected.
Qi Yu murmured, "So ruthless..."
She jumped down from the tree without changing her expression and said, "Ahem, fate, fate."
Xiao Hei suddenly nudged her, and said hesitantly, "Master, um... no, it's okay."
Qi Yu: "What's wrong? Why are you hesitating?"
Little Black stretched out its paw, then rubbed its eyes as if trying to make sense of it. Afterwards, it said, "It's okay, Little Black must have seen it wrong."
Ren Pingsheng walked over and smiled, "Is Miss Yu's spirit pet feeling unwell? I specialize in medicine, may I take a look?"
Is it reasonable for a healer to be so ruthless...?
If we let him take a look at Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei might end up getting himself killed by him...
Qi Yu held Xiao Hei's two front legs with both hands, examined it carefully, and seeing that it was normal, said, "It's nothing serious, maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, so I won't trouble you, Young Master Ren."
"That's good." Ren Pingsheng smiled and then extended an invitation to her, "Miss Yu, isn't it a bit boring to travel alone? Would you like to travel with me? Don't worry, we'll still keep track of our own points."
Qi Yu pondered for a moment. He had been in the secret realm for almost half a day and was indeed a bit bored by himself, so he readily agreed.
"It's not impossible, let's go."
The two chatted casually along the way, and Qi Yu learned that Ren Pingsheng was from the Azure Dragon Kingdom. He had previously studied at the Central Spiritual Academy of the Azure Dragon Kingdom and was quite well-known.
When Ren Pingsheng asked about her background, Qi Yu only half-truthfully said that she had become a disciple, but her master died from a qi deviation during practice. Before his death, he passed on all his cultivation to her, but she was not worthy of it. She obtained her master's Golden Core stage cultivation, but in the end, she only managed to establish a foundation.
Ren Pingsheng sighed, "Miss Yu has a good master."
Qi Yu sighed, "Yes, that's why I must carry on her legacy and cultivate diligently."
In "Chaotic Spirit Body", Zhu Xiuzi was using his spiritual power to suspend the eighth volume of "The Overbearing Immortal Lord Falls in Love with Me" in the air and was studying it with great interest. When he got to the exciting part, he suddenly sneezed.
Achoo!
"Who's insulting me!"
He was so shocked that he dropped his book. Tuanzi swayed back and forth. He was a dead man, so who would scold him? No matter how he thought about it, it must be that unfilial disciple Qi Yu who was secretly making things up about him!
Zhu Xiuzi turned the pages of the book again, grumbling, "Next time she comes, I'll definitely teach her a lesson!"
The elders in the council hall also said with some regret, "Judging from this girl's swordsmanship, her master must have been very skilled. Although he was only at the Golden Core stage, his future was promising. It's just a pity that he died like this..."
"To be able to teach someone with five spiritual roots to be this good, her master must also be a genius sword cultivator."
"Oh...what a pity..."
Upon hearing those words, Venerable Poyue's eyes flickered violently, his hands trembled slightly, and his whole body swayed as if he were about to collapse.
A moment later, he closed his eyes and suddenly spat out a mouthful of dark-colored blood!
