Looking at the lifeless golden-eyed tiger, a smile appeared on Gu Ting's face.
Now that her inner demons have been removed, how can Gu Ting not be happy?
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Ting and said, "Okay, now your inner demon has been eliminated, and you have avenged your two guards. Now you can practice with peace of mind."
The smile on Gu Ting's face gradually disappeared. She looked up at the sky, squinted her eyes, and said, "Although they were just two guards, they died because of me after all. I can't just ignore their death so easily. You may think I'm a little hypocritical, and think that I can't be like this just because of two lowly guards, but I can tell you that this is what I really think in my heart. Although I am the lady of the family, the daughter of the clan leader, and they are just two guards, they are also living beings. They represent two families. They are whose husbands and whose sons. Although the golden-eyed tiger has been killed by us, I still feel like there is something blocking my heart. This feeling is really uncomfortable, do you know?"
Gu Yuan sighed and consoled him, "Alright, now that the Golden-Eyed Tiger has been killed by us, you've successfully avenged them. They were the Gu family's guards, and that's their duty. They were responsible for covering the rear when danger struck. You don't have to blame yourself too much. They did their duty. At least they didn't abandon you and run away when danger struck. If you really feel bad, you can find their families, their mothers, and their children when you go back. With the strength of your Gu family, taking care of two such families is not a problem at all."
Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan, nodded quickly, and said, "Yes, I wouldn't have remembered it if you hadn't mentioned it. They also have their own families. Although they are dead, I can definitely ask the family to send someone to return them home. And take good care of their families. I think that way they can rest assured in the underworld. I will also feel better. At least they won't have any worries in the underworld."
"Well, it's best that you think so!" Gu Yuan said.
Gu Yuan squatted down, walked to the side of the corpse of the golden-eyed tiger, took out a sharp knife from the space ring, and cut at his body.
Gu Yuan raised his knife and cut as he said, "Everything on the body of the golden-eyed tiger is valuable. Its skin can be used to make armor, its bones can be used to make weapons, and even its blood is valuable. We can't waste it. We have to collect it all."
Guqin smiled and said, "It's all your credit that we killed the Golden-eyed Tiger this time. I don't want its body anymore. I'll leave it all to you. After all, it's all your spoils."
Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "That's so embarrassing. It wouldn't be a good idea for me to take it all by myself."
Gu Ting said, "Why are you being so polite to me? We are comrades after all. Besides, if it weren't for you, who knows who would have killed whom this time. Thanks to you, I was able to successfully kill the hanging-eyed golden-eyed tiger, remove my inner demons, and avenge my guards. I should really thank you."
"Okay, now that you've said that, it would be hypocritical of me to say anything more, so I'll put them all away!"
A smile spread across Gu Yuan's face. The corpse of this golden-eyed tiger was truly valuable. Not to mention that it was a fourth-level demon beast, a Spirit Master. Its body was packed with treasures. Besides its skin and bones, its blood was even more crucial. Gu Yuan hadn't evolved his spiritual skills in a long time, and his cultivation techniques needed some refinement. The corpse of the golden-eyed tiger arrived at a perfect opportunity. Gu Yuan was now an eighth-level Spirit Master, on the verge of Spirit Master status, but most of his cultivation techniques and skills remained at the third level. Therefore, Gu Yuan needed to improve them further. However, the resources required to evolve these techniques were too vast, and Gu Yuan hadn't had the opportunity to do so before. Now, with this golden-eyed tiger, Gu Yuan could finally evolve them all.
It took Gu Yuan a full half hour to completely disintegrate the tiger's body, storing it entirely in his space ring. Gu Yuan also collected the tiger's blood in a large, makeshift basin of mud. While this blood might be useless to others, it was a valuable resource for Gu Yuan, and he wasn't willing to waste even a single drop.
Gu Ting sat aside to recover her spiritual energy, looking at Gu Yuan from time to time, thinking in her heart that Gu Yuan was really stingy, even the blood was not spared. Gu Yuan was too lazy to explain anything. After all, it was related to his martial arts, and Gu Yuan was unwilling to mention such things to others.
Gu Yuan stood up and asked Gu Tingting, "Now that the golden-eyed tiger has been killed, what are you going to do? Leave or continue exploring this oasis?"
Gu Ting also stood up. Her spiritual energy had fully recovered. She looked at Gu Yuan and said, "I can't go back for the time being because my family mission is not yet completed. I will do the rest by myself. You can go back to Sand City and wait for me. Once I complete the mission here, I will come to find you. What do you think?"
Gu Yuan asked, "Are you okay here alone? What if you encounter a monster like the Golden-Eyed Tiger again? Although the family mission is important, your own safety should also be put first."
Gu Ting shook her head and said, "It's no problem. The strength of the Golden-eyed Tiger is indeed very strong, but I have enough self-protection ability now. If things are impossible, I will take the initiative to retreat. I will not joke with my life. It's just that the family mission is extremely important. If it is really impossible, I will give it up. I still want to give it a try."
Seeing that Gu Ting persisted, Gu Yuan didn't say anything more. He clasped his fists and said to her, "I can't accompany you now. The exploration of the oasis can only be completed by you alone. I need to go back first because I still have some things to do."
Gu Ting nodded and said, "It's okay. I'm already very grateful that you agreed to help me kill the Golden-Eyed Tiger this time. You can go back first. I still need to go deeper to complete my family mission. You can wait for me in Sand City. I'll come find you when the time comes. As I promised you, just tell me a time and I'll accompany you to the Mu family."
"Okay! Then it's settled. I'll still be staying there. You can go there directly after you finish here."
