Chapter 43 The Untamed Wolf Cub
"Ah!! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!" Huali's vision went black, and she almost saw her grandmother in pain.
She quickly reached out to shake him off, but he wouldn't let go. Having no other option, Huali used her other hand to pry open his mouth.
It took a long time to free the finger, and the deep, bone-revealing teeth marks around it were a shocking sight.
"Are you a dog?!" Huali was furious. "I kindly helped you, and instead of thanking me, you bite me?"
"You are a mortal..." a hoarse child's voice rang out, "Get out."
Good! Good! Good!
So, he recognized her and was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her?
Hua Li was so angry that she almost fell backward. Taking advantage of the Demon Lord's current physical discomfort, she was about to retaliate when Ao Bai, standing to the side, asked in confusion.
"There's something wrong, host."
"If this brat really is the Demon Lord, why doesn't he recognize you? Even if he can't see your face, he could expose you in a minute. It seems like there's something wrong with the Demon Lord's spiritual power."
Hua Li was stunned. That's right. Judging from the scene, he was most likely the little beast who bit Cheng Yuan.
But who is the Demon Lord? He's a powerful being at the God Transformation level. Is it reasonable for him to have fallen to this state?
Huali got goosebumps all over.
She took several steps back and looked closely at Xiao Wenjin. "Could I have been wrong? He really isn't the Demon Lord..."
"Where have you been! I told you to feed the spirit beasts, not to become one! Come back and start a fire!" A voice transmission talisman descended from the sky, and Zhang Dezhu's furious voice rushed towards you.
Huali then realized that most of the day had passed. With time running out, there was no use dwelling on it anymore; she had to get the important things done first.
Huali placed the Life-Giving Pill next to Xiao Wenjin, and without waiting for whether he wanted it or not, she took out the Magic Stone Token and went around to the back of the hut.
Seeing her walk away, Xiao Wenjin, who hadn't reacted much until now, fluttered his eyelashes.

"The Buddha's relic prison, freeze!"
The light quickly formed a small barrier starting from Ao Bai.
"The regenerating soil, rise!"
The outer perimeter of the barrier merged into a larger barrier, enveloping both Huali and Aobai. After confirming that there were no gaps, Huali picked up the magic stone token and gently poked the barrier on Aobai's body.
The magic stone token suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, which instantly formed a pillar of light, but was blocked by the barrier created by the regeneration of the Breath Soil.
"What's going on? Why isn't it working?"
Although defensive barriers have fancy names, their most basic theory is to resist and defend, it's just a matter of degree.
If she can't even manage her own things, then forget about the main hall.
Once again, Huali reached out and tore apart the message talisman that Zhang Dezhu had sent. Undeterred, she picked up the magic stone and examined it against the light.
Upon closer inspection, Huali indeed found the key: a drop of blood had condensed inside.
She had overcomplicated things; she hadn't expected Soli to be so stubborn.
The blood beads inside represent the owner of the property. The rosewood does not correspond to the blood inside, which is why the alarm was triggered.
But how can we replace the blood inside with her own?

Zhang Dezhu was furious.
The sun is about to set, and that brat still isn't back! Daring to play tricks right under his nose, he'll have to teach her a lesson!
Having made up his mind, Zhang Dezhu stood with his hands on his hips at the front door!
After waiting and waiting, my anger was nearing its peak when I suddenly saw a rosewood tree swaying gently in the distance, topped with a banana leaf.
He laughed in anger, and weighed the large iron ladle in his hand.
Huali rushed back, and seeing Zhang Dezhu's murderous expression, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She quickly took off her veil and smiled, intending to scare him away.
But this trick didn't work.
Zhang Dezhu sneered, "Trying to slack off, huh?"
"The journey from the Hundred Herbs Garden to the Warcraft Circle is too far. It took me quite a while to get there, and I even tripped and fell." Huali pointed to the blood stained by Xiao Wenjin on her skirt and said shamelessly, "But even so, I still resolutely completed the task you assigned me."
Zhang Dezhu looked at Huali suspiciously. Huali blinked, and he was successfully stunned by her ugliness.
"That's no excuse for neglecting your work. You should resign voluntarily..."
"Huali?" A slightly surprised voice sounded from behind, interrupting Zhang Dezhu's enthusiastic mic-pong. He turned around unhappily, and his expression immediately changed after seeing the other person's attire. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Karin turned her head and immediately saw Kiji.
Even though she knew from the carriage that the other person was a beauty, Karin was still stunned speechless by the sudden visual impact!
An exotic enchantress, a modern-day Daji, she's so beautiful!
"It really is you." Qi Zhi's eyes lit up as she looked at Hua Li's face. "Is your injury any better?"
The answer is obvious: no.
"It's alright, let it be, it's all fate." Huali didn't forget her persona, picking up her veil and using it as a small handkerchief to wipe away imaginary tears.
"I heard you and Yang Liu are currently enjoying great favor. What brings you here?"
Qi Zhi sighed, "Distinguished guests have arrived at the main hall, and His Majesty personally greeted them." She nodded to Zhang Dezhu and the two servants behind her, who then discreetly withdrew.
"Distinguished guest?" Who could possibly make the Demon King personally greet her? Could she really be mistaken, and that child wasn't Wen Jin?
"Did you see what that distinguished guest looked like? Was he exceptionally handsome?" Huali asked eagerly for confirmation.
Qi Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Handsome?"
It means "exceptionally handsome".
Qi Zhi nodded. She could only see the man sitting in a wheelchair from afar, and his facial features were indeed handsome.
Looking at Huali's carefree attitude, she said enviously, "Actually, I think it's good that you're like this... The Demon King Soli's personality is unpredictable. Although it looks glamorous on the outside, it's like living on the edge." Qizhi rolled up her sleeves, which were covered with purplish-blue handprints and scabbed wounds.
Huali's eyes widened. "He abused you?"
Qi Zhi was amused by her expression and sighed, "Actually, I came here to ask you for a favor."
Qi Zhi took out a Qiankun bag from her bosom and opened it, revealing a bag full of gold and jewels.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that you are different from others. If you are ever able to leave, please pass these to my parents. The address is in the bag."
Huali paused for a moment, "Aren't you afraid I'll embezzle it?" They were just casual acquaintances.
Qi Zhi smiled and said, “If you’re afraid, then don’t say it.” A bitter look flashed in her eyes. “Soli is obsessed with sex and has all sorts of ways to torture people. I’m afraid I won’t be able to go on for long and will be tortured to death like the girls in the previous batches. I really have no one else to entrust to.”
Unable to bear seeing the pretty young lady cry, Hua Li quickly took the Qiankun bag and, after thinking for a moment, said, "Speaking of which, I also have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"This is a magic stone token?" Qi Zhi quickly recognized the item in Hua Li's hand. "What do you want to do?"
"If you can help me, there might still be a glimmer of hope." Huali kept it a secret for a moment. "Don't worry, it's nothing difficult."
"I noticed that your attendant is also carrying this token. Do you know how to replace the blood inside?"
Qi Zhi glanced at Hua Li and nodded. "There is a special place in the main hall for registering tokens. You just need to put the magic stone into the array to restore it to its original state, and then drip blood on it to use it."
Karin nodded, but a question arose: how was she supposed to sneak in?
"Give it to me." A pale hand reached out. "If you trust me, I'll help you."
Huali looked up into Qizhi's eyes, which were filled with a longing for life. No matter how small the firefly was, she wanted to try.
She pricked her finger, dripped blood into a bottle, and handed it over. Huali nodded, "Okay, then we'll meet here again in five days."

In the dead of night, Ao Bai looked at Hua Li, who was secretly stealing steamed buns from the kitchen, and asked, "You believed her so easily?"
Zhang Dezhu, still unable to fire her today, was in a state of shock and simply waived her dinner.
Huali put a steamed bun in her mouth and took a bite. "Anyway, there's no harm in trying. Reporting me won't do her any good; all her wealth is with me."
Ao Bai thought about it and agreed. Just as he nodded, he saw Hua Li take out a food box and stuff the steamed buns into it one by one.
What are you doing?
"Go check on the wolf cubs."
