After these days of desperate running, he once again witnessed the persistence of the violent stone monster. He knew that if Mu Hanyan had not taken him out of Hanshan Town in time, even if the hundreds of imperial guards risked their lives, they would never be able to protect him. While he was full of gratitude to Mu Hanyan, he was of course also in awe of her, fearing that Mu Hanyan would throw him down to die if she was in a bad mood.
"Are you full? If you are, continue on your journey." Looking at Yue Xiuming's obedient appearance as a humanoid sword pet, Mu Hanyan felt a pang of sadness for the Shangyue royal family. With such a despicable and frivolous son, the current emperor must be in a state of great trouble.
"I'm full, I'm full. Here's the IOU." Yue Xiuming quickly stood up and handed over an IOU.
Mu Hanyan shook her head and took the IOU. Even if she didn't want to take advantage of someone's misfortune, she couldn't. If she didn't accept the IOU, Yue Xiuming would look miserable, like a little woman who had been abandoned by someone else. So, she had no choice but to accept the IOU.
If you do the math, just by eating a few pills and munching on some dry food every day, this guy has already owed a debt of 40 million taels. Mu Hanyan once again felt sad for the Shangyue royal family.
Seeing Mu Hanyan put away the IOU, Yue Xiuming's face turned happy again, and then he stretched his neck.
Mu Hanyan was completely speechless at this cooperative action.
While using his divine sense to investigate the movements behind him, he continued to circle around the Longyan Mountains. Suddenly, he heard the sound of fighting in front of him.
Mu Hanyan was hesitating whether to avoid it so as not to implicate others, when she saw a man and a beast running towards her, followed by a ferocious-looking beast.
"Xia Youchen!" Mu Hanyan was stunned. She didn't expect to meet him here.
As for the strange beast that followed closely beside him, it was of course the fake ferocious beast Qiongqi that ate only meat and was a vegetarian. After not seeing it for a while, the little Qiongqi had grown a little bigger, but he looked so panicked, like a lost dog, without any dignity of a divine beast.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly." Xia Youchen did not recognize Mu Hanyan who had changed back into women's clothes. He ran for his life while waving his hands and shouting.
Mu Hanyan noticed that Xia Youchen's steps were light and his breathing was uneven, and he was obviously injured internally.
Behind him, the strange beast was getting closer and closer, spewing green flames from its mouth as it chased.
Burning Sky Blue Flame Bull! Mu Hanyan was slightly startled. Despite its impressive name, the strength of this beast was actually not that strong. The strongest one was no more than the fifth level of Sword Master, and was far from being comparable to top-level beasts like the Violent Stone Demon Beast.
Xia Youchen originally had the strength of a Sword Saint. Logically, such a strange beast should not pose any threat to him. Why was he so embarrassed? Could it be that his strength has not recovered yet?
Just as he was wondering, he saw the Burning Sky Blue Flame Bull spew out another breath of flames. Xia Youchen was unable to dodge and a strand of white hair behind his head was ignited, emitting a burnt smell.
Mu Hanyan almost laughed out loud. Why is this old man so unlucky? Nothing good happens every time he meets her. Not only was he chased and crawled on by the unhatched little auspicious beasts in the Valley of Exotic Beasts, but he was also forced into a miserable state by Zhao Lingxian in Feilai Peak. This time was even worse. He was actually burned to a crisp by an exotic beast equivalent to a fifth-level swordsman.
Seeing that the Burning Sky Blue Flame Bull was getting closer and closer, Mu Hanyan did not hesitate and flew up and slashed with his sword.
With her current strength as a sixth-level swordsman, even without the help of Nine Heavens Starfall and Starfall in the Eight Wastelands, her strength is still superior to that of the Burning Sky Blue Flame Bull.
"Moo..." The Burning Sky Blue Flame Bull was chopped away by Mu Hanyan's sword. It rolled several times before standing up. It looked at Mu Hanyan in fear, then suddenly turned around and ran away. It was not as vengeful as the Violent Stone Demon Beast.
"Huh..." Xia Youchen sat down on the ground and let out a long breath.
Mu Hanyan took out a pill and handed it over.
"Thank you for saving me, young lady." Xia Youchen said gratefully, but he was too embarrassed to take the pill from her hand.
As a former Beast Taming Sword Saint, Xia Youchen was well-known throughout the Holy Court Continent. He felt somewhat embarrassed to be seen in such an embarrassing state by a junior.
"Senior Xia, don't you recognize me?" Mu Hanyan said with a smile.
"Who are you?" Xia Youchen was slightly startled when he heard her voice sound familiar. He looked at Mu Hanyan carefully and said in surprise, "You, you are Mu Hanyan?"
"Yes, I am Mu Hanyan." Mu Hanyan said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that you saved me again." Xia Youchen smiled bitterly. It was not the first time that he made a fool of himself in front of Mu Hanyan. He was too lazy to hide it and took the pill generously.
"By the way, Senior Xia, hasn't your strength recovered yet? Why are you so embarrassed again?" Mu Hanyan asked.
After running all the way, she was a little tired and took this opportunity to rest for a while.
"Oh, it's hard to explain in a few words. My strength has originally recovered to the level of a great swordsman, and I wanted to come to Longyan Mountains to find some rare treasures to break through the bottleneck of Sword Saint. But I didn't expect to encounter a strange beast in the heart of the mountains. The beast was several feet tall, and its whole body was like a burning flame. It was completely different from the beasts I knew before. My beast-taming skills were completely ineffective against it. I was seriously injured by it when we just met, so I quickly escaped." Xia Youchen said with lingering fear.
After hearing Xia You's words, Mu Hanyan's heart moved. Could it be that he encountered a dark beast?
Thinking of the strange beasts outside Hanshan Town that seemed to have lost their minds and rushed towards them to die like moths to a flame, as well as the two violent stone monsters whose mental imprints had been forcibly erased and could ignore the power of the Taowu beast, Mu Hanyan felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.
Could it be that some underworld beasts have already broken out of the underworld and arrived at the Holy Court Continent?
"Woo woo..." Little Qiongqi came to Mu Hanyan's side at this time, rubbing his little head against Mu Hanyan, looking very affectionate.
"Wow, what a cute little chinchilla. Is it your sword pet?" Yue Xiuming patted Xiao Qiongqi's head, looking very interested.
Chinchillas... Mu Hanyan had long since lost her words for the straw bag prince's discerning eye. Chinchillas were also a type of exotic beast, extremely cute in appearance, but their attack power was almost zero compared to other exotic beasts, and they were usually kept as pets by noble ladies.
"Ah..." Little Qiongqi bared his teeth and looked fierce, growling fiercely, obviously expressing his strong anger at the other party for confusing him with the weak chinchilla.
"Haha, you have quite a temper." Yue Xiuming pulled Xiao Qiongqi's mouth again and pinched its nose. He had seen many chinchillas, but this was the first time he had seen one with such a bad temper.
Little Qiongqi was completely confused by his actions and just stood there in a daze.
"Cute, so cute." Yue Xiuming continued to pull Xiao Qiongqi's mouth, pinch his neck, and finally slapped it hard on the head several times to express his love.
Mu Hanyan's mouth twitched, hoping that this funny guy would remain calm after knowing whose head he was photographing.
