Qi Yu took a few steps back and hid, watching the man in blue brocade robes descend from the sky.
The man tapped An Rong'er's hands twice with his unsheathed sword, and An Rong'er's hands trembled, causing her to release the black-furred beast.
An Rong'er frowned deeply, about to scold this person for meddling in other people's business, when she realized that this person looked very familiar.
Chu Mo, disciple of the Yunyang Sect Master!
Her expression changed, and her tone became much gentler.
"What advice does Young Master Chu have for me?"
Chu Mo remained as gentle and refined as ever. He said, "Heaven cherishes life. Since you have already bought it, you should be responsible for it."
An Rong'er couldn't help but say, "I spent nine thousand low-grade spirit stones to buy it, so what's wrong with me wanting to cook it and eat it!"
Qi Yu hid in the corner, and for a moment she felt that she could not refute An Rong'er's words. Although it was cruel, it was indeed her freedom.
Chu Mo pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll offer nine thousand low-grade spirit stones, and you give it to me."
"Huh?" An Rong'er couldn't believe such a good thing could happen. She stuffed the black-furred little beast into Chu Mo's arms. "You said it, here you go."
Chu Mo said, "I, Chu, always keep my word."
He took out a storage bag and handed it to An Rong'er.
"There are nine thousand low-grade spirit stones in here."
An Rong'er took the money, which solved her immediate problem, and left quickly as if afraid that Chu Mo would change his mind, without noticing Qi Yu watching.
Qi Yu peeked out slightly, wanting to see what Chu Mo would do, but found that there was suddenly a woman beside him.
The woman wore a white robe that fluttered in the breeze. She had a gentle and graceful demeanor, and her face was as beautiful and refined as a lotus emerging from the water. Her gentle almond-shaped eyes, filled with tenderness, looked at Chu Mo as if they held a thousand emotions in them.
Upon seeing the woman's eyes and brows, Qi Yu felt a shiver run through her heart, as if a thousand sharp knives were stabbing into her chest.
She instantly realized who the woman was—
Heart-burning.
The female lead in "Burning Heart".
Burning Heart said, "Chu Mo, are you really going to raise this little beast? I'm afraid we won't be able to spare the time to care for it."
Chu Mo remained silent for a moment, but when he spoke again, Qi Yu was startled.
"Why don't we give this little animal to this young lady?"
We've been discovered!
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mo and Fen Xin appeared in front of her.
Chu Mo smiled and said, "Just now in the auction house, I saw this young lady raise her paddle first, so she must really like this little beast."
Burning Heart also asked, "Young lady, would you be willing to accept it?"
The woman spoke in a gentle, soothing tone, her almond-shaped eyes smiling as she looked at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu felt that gaze upon her, but couldn't help but lower her head.
The original owner's hatred for Burning Heart seemed to surge up again, and Qi Yu's hands trembled slightly as he tried hard to restrain the urge to draw his sword.
As if warning the original owner of lingering emotions, Qi Yu coldly thought to himself:
In the eyes of the male and female protagonists, I am just an ordinary passerby. If I were to be exposed by accident, believe me, we would be finished immediately. At that time, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven for the two of us wandering ghosts to seek revenge.
As if he understood her meaning, his hatred gradually faded.
Qi Yu smiled and looked up at the little black beast that Chu Mo was holding in his arms. Because of Chu Mo's fierce aura, the little beast seemed to be afraid and was still trembling.
"In that case, I shall respectfully comply."
She gently took the little beast out of Chu Mo's arms, and the little beast clung to her arm affectionately, rubbing against her.
Chu Mo and Fen Xin exchanged a glance.
"May I ask your surname, young lady?"
Qi Yu replied calmly, "Qi."
Upon hearing this, Fenxin's eyes reddened slightly, and she said with some sadness, "So it's Miss Qi. I also had a friend surnamed Qi before, whose figure was very similar to yours. It's just a pity that he passed away recently due to an accident."
Qi Yu carefully observed her expression, wondering if she was acting, but she looked genuinely sad.
It seems that Chu Mo found another reason for the original owner's death.
However, Chu Mo didn't seem to feel any guilt about killing his childhood sweetheart with his own hands, which showed his strong mentality.
"The person has passed away; please accept our deepest condolences, fellow Daoist."
Chu Mo remained silent for a moment, then put his arm around Fen Xin's shoulder and said:
“The young lady is destined to have it, so we hope she will treat it well. We will take our leave now.”
As soon as they finished speaking, the two disappeared in a flash.
Qi Yu stroked the little beast's ears, thinking to himself that it was indeed the protagonist favored by the Creator.
Chu Mo goes without saying; he had all sorts of extraordinary encounters, was born with a mutated lightning spiritual root, and became the next sect leader of the Yunyang Sect.
Burning Heart is the spirit of the ancient divine artifact, the Broken Jade Burning Heart Zither, and its power is unfathomable.
The sudden system notification interrupted her thoughts:
[Congratulations on successfully completing the "Do a Good Deed Every Day" quest! Your arrival changed the fate of a race on the verge of extinction. You are awarded 300 points as a token of your appreciation!]
"Um?"
An endangered race?
A system that's never given a penny can reward you with 300 points...
Qi Yu looked closely at the little beast in her arms. Could it be some kind of rare species?
The small black animal was entirely black except for its light blue eyes. Its fluffy ears drooped down, making it look like a puppy.
"I'll just call you Xiao Hei."
Little Black let out a "woof," as if responding to the name.
Feng Xiao suddenly poked his head out, looked at Xiao Hei with a puzzled expression, then transformed into human form, grabbed Xiao Hei by the back of the neck and looked him up and down.
"This is the Howling Moon Wolf."
Little Black was being held by Feng Xiao, and the dog was completely distraught, whimpering and pleading for help towards Qi Yu.
Qi Yu snatched Xiao Hei back, patted its head soothingly, and then glared angrily at Feng Xiao.
"Why are you pinching it like that? It's still a baby."
Feng Xiao was glared at by Qi Yu and said aggrievedly, "What baby? The Howling Moon Wolf has two forms, one is the cub form and the other is the adult form. This one just looks small, but it is actually much older than you."
