The tigers, their heads drooping from the scolding, still pushed the lingzhi towards Shen Qingtang again.
He was clearly determined to befriend her.
Shen Qingtang was completely bewildered by the talking fire fox and the group of "gluttonous" tigers in the jungle. How could the monsters in the jungle be different from what she had imagined?
Shen Qingtang couldn't help but curl her lips as she watched the fire fox stand with its hands on its hips training the tiger. This beast was more interesting than a human.
Just then, the braised food in her pocket wasn't placed properly, and another shiny braised chicken leg fell out.
The rich aroma of soy sauce mixed with the sweet scent of the spring water instantly spread and drifted far and wide.
The fox was lecturing the tiger with spittle flying when it twitched its nose and suddenly turned its head to stare at the chicken leg.
The facade they had been maintaining just moments before crumbled instantly.
It darted over in a flash, like a puppy begging for food, and snatched the chicken leg into its mouth in one bite.
The eunuch's shrill voice cried out indistinctly, "Don't anyone try to take it from me! It's mine!"
It held the chicken leg with both paws, squatted on the ground and gnawed on it, oil dripping down its mouth.
Even its tail wagged happily.
Where is even a trace of the imposing manner he displayed when he taught the tiger a lesson?
They were so engrossed in eating that they even forgot they had originally come to "make trouble for Shen Qingtang".
It was so engrossed in gnawing on its meat that it didn't even notice the tigers secretly glancing at it.
Shen Qingtang stood aside, dumbfounded. The fire fox had just acted like a "boss of monsters".
Why does she instantly turn into a glutton whenever she sees braised food? She glanced down at her pockets.
Looking at the fire fox and tiger happily eating on the ground, she suddenly realized that subduing these monsters might be much simpler than she had thought.
Pei Wuwang, who had just arrived from a short distance away, happened to witness this scene and was completely stunned. He had been worried that Shen Qingtang would be attacked by tigers, so he hurriedly brought people over, only to find that the monsters were fighting over the braised food. Even the talking fire fox was happily gnawing on a chicken leg, and for a moment he forgot to go forward.
Pei Wuwang stood not far away, his gaze fixed on Shen Qingtang.
His eyes were full of doting affection.
He had never seen anyone manage to subdue a group of ferocious monsters with just a few packets of braised food. His daughter always managed to bring such surprises; she was truly amazing.
After finishing the chicken leg, the fiery red fox licked its paws with lingering satisfaction, then immediately moved closer to Shen Qingtang's feet and rubbed its furry tail against her trouser leg.
The eunuch's voice carried a distinctly coquettish tone: "Is there more? Is there more? I want to eat that chicken leg again..."
Seeing this, the tigers nearby growled at it, their eyes filled with contempt. The meaning was clear: Boss, didn't you just say we were useless? How come you're craving this yourself?
The Firefox was taken aback by the retort, immediately bristling and standing with its hands on its hips, though only its paws were visible. It retorted, "Mind your own business! What's wrong with me eating something? This braised food is delicious, so what's wrong with me eating more?"
It was stubborn but soft-hearted, and as it spoke, it moved closer to Shen Qingtang, looking like a shameless person who wanted to eat.
Shen Qingtang was amused by it, and took out a few more packets of braised food from her space, handing them to the Fire Fox and also sharing some with the tigers next to her.
Firefox took the braised food and immediately buried his head in it, devouring it without a care for his image.
While they were eating, Shen Qingtang took out the spiritual spring water and poured it onto the wound on her arm. The cool spring water had just touched her skin when it touched her skin.
The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon only a shallow mark remained.
She sized up the monster before her, and began to make plans in her mind.
The tigers were large and strong, and their fighting power was obviously very strong. The fire fox could speak human language and command the tigers, so it was obviously the leader of the monsters. If we could make them work for us, it would be much more convenient to do things in the future.
Sure enough, after finishing the braised food, the fox clapped its paws and said to Shen Qingtang without hesitation, "Come with me! I know a place in the back mountain where there are lots of the herbs you need, more than what these tigers gave us!"
As he spoke, he led the way into the depths of the jungle, with the tigers following closely behind. Their attitude towards Shen Qingtang had completely changed from "vigilance" to "submission."
Shen Qingtang followed them for half an hour and indeed saw a hidden medicinal field containing not only rare medicinal herbs needed to make the antidote pills, but also several very old ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms.
The quantity is even greater than that in the Second Prince's pharmacy.
Shen Qingtang's eyes lit up, and she happily put the medicinal herbs into her spatial storage, thanking them repeatedly.
Pei Wuwang, who had been following behind, was completely shocked by what he saw. He had thought that Shen Qingtang would be lucky to escape the tigers' attack, but he had not only subdued the monsters.
He also obtained so many precious medicinal herbs; this ability was far beyond his expectations.
He strode over to Shen Qingtang, his voice full of admiration: "Qingtang, you're amazing."
Shen Qingtang turned around and smiled at him, waving the medicinal herbs in her hand: "With these, the antidote pills can be made as soon as possible." Fire Fox wagged its tail proudly beside her, as if to say, "This is all thanks to me."
The tigers also came over and rubbed against Shen Qingtang's hand, creating an unexpectedly harmonious scene.
Shen Qingtang returned to the inn with a space full of medicinal herbs and immediately closed the door to make antidote pills.
She mixed the spiritual spring water with herbs and kneaded them into shiny black pills.
He handed one to Pei Wuwang first: "Eat this, and you will be immune to all poisons, and your old wounds will heal faster."
Pei Wuwang took the pill and swallowed it. In less than half an hour, his old injury, which had been throbbing, felt much better, and he even felt much more energetic.
Shen Qingtang took one himself, and then distributed the antidote pills to his father, mother, and brothers.
He also took out several guns and cannons from his spatial storage and handed them to them: "Take these for self-defense, so you'll have some protection if you encounter danger in the future."
As the family was talking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the inn. Accompanied by screams from the people, they saw the fiery red fox leading a group of more than a dozen majestic tigers as they stormed into the inn.
The guests were so frightened that they all hid in their rooms, and even the innkeeper was so scared that he huddled behind the counter and dared not come out.
Lu Jiaojiao was clinging to the Second Prince's leg, acting coquettishly, when she saw the tiger and turned pale with fright.
But then a thought of greed suddenly arose in her mind. She thought that these demonic beasts were so powerful, if they could recognize her as their master, then who would dare to mess with her in the future!
