The lynx had been following the beauty the whole time; Xiang Wan knew this, and so did the beauty.
This animal did not harm Xiang Wan at the crucial moment, and later it kept finding various prey and placing them on the beauty's inevitable path.
Once or twice, Xiang Wan didn't take it seriously, and neither did the beauty.
But the lynx appeared so frequently that Xiang Wan began to suspect it was trying to steal her pet's throne.
"Little fox, don't be afraid, it means no harm."
She knew the lynx meant no harm, but that was a completely different matter from her suspicion of its motives.
It's a pity Xiang Wan can't speak. If she could, she would definitely ask the beauty why she let this annoying lynx follow her.
Upon seeing the rats delivered by the lynx again, Xiang Wan roared and bared her teeth at the lynx that was spying nearby, trying to scare it away.
"Little fox, if you don't like it, I'll let it go."
For the first time, the beauty had taken care of her companion's feelings, and Xiang Wan felt a surge of joy.
"Go, don't follow me anymore. I don't need you to repay me. Just live well."
The beauty's words touched Xiang Wan deeply.
The lynx meowed at the beauty, stood there for a long time, and then turned and left.
As an animal, Xiang Wan only realized at this moment that the beauty's kindness had not been wasted.
Animals are more grateful than humans, so the beautiful woman didn't want to harm them, just as she saw her and saved her.
This kind of benevolence is not the benevolence of a woman, but a kind heart, a kind heart that has long been forgotten after one cultivates immortality.
The beauty has the power to kill all the animals, but so what?
No matter how powerful animals are, they will never be a match for humans.
Only after becoming an animal did Xiang Wan realize how precious such a kind heart is!
It's laughable that she still doesn't understand, disappointing the beauty.
Xiang Wan climbed onto the beauty's lap, whimpering softly. She really liked this beauty!
The beautiful woman looked up at the moon and smiled softly.
The moonlight shone on the beauty's face, and Xiang Wan thought it was the most beautiful smile in the world, because it came from the heart, and it was a smile for her.
"My lord, why don't you travel with him? What if he finds out if you do this?"
"We all know we're heading to the same destination, so what can we do even if we find out?"
"It's always more reassuring to have it by your side."
“…Chongying, you’ve said too much.”
"yes!"
Having entered the depths of the towering mountains, Xiang Wan looked around curiously, but saw no signs of human activity whatsoever.
"Little Fox, after traveling for so many days, we're finally almost there."
Where to? This fox has no idea what's worth seeing in these deep mountains and forests.
Despite her inner complaints, the further Xiang Wan went, the more comfortable she felt, and her body even felt much lighter.
Spiritual energy! Extremely rich spiritual energy!
Taking a breath here makes you feel decades younger.
Upon reaching the entrance of a cave, an overwhelming spiritual energy rushed towards us, and we could faintly hear the roars of animals coming from the depths of the cave.
That's right, how could a place with abundant spiritual energy not have treasures?
Where there are treasures, how could there be no animals guarding them?
How could a place protected by animals not attract the covetous eyes of others?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the sound of wind rushing past my ear, and a sharp arrow whistled past.
The beauty dodged in time and was unharmed. She then swung her sword back to deflect the arrow and send it flying back the way it came.
A muffled groan came from the nearby woods, followed by a deluge of arrows raining down on the beauty.
"Condense!"
The beauty gave a cold shout, and the arrows stopped in mid-air a foot away from his body. Then, with a wave of his hand, they all shot back.
Holy crap, what kind of technique is this, beauty? I'm completely stunned!
At this moment, apart from immortal magic, Xiang Wan couldn't think of anything else in the world that could reverse the arrow in the air.
Although she had previously guessed that this was a world of cultivation, she was still stunned when she actually saw it with her own eyes.
What could be more moving than experiencing it firsthand?
"forget!"
A ripple spread from the beauty's lips outwards, and Xiang Wan saw that the people hidden in the dense forest got up and walked out, many of them with arrows stuck in their bodies.
Those who were lying motionless on the ground were probably already dead, as there was no smell of their breath.
Xiang Wan then realized that she had misunderstood the man; in fact, he simply didn't want to harm animals!
The beautiful woman with a cold and aloof expression suddenly seemed much taller in Xiang Wan's eyes.
Such a swift, decisive, and stunningly beautiful woman is her partner! Xiang Wan is honored.
Upon entering the cave, the beauty deftly moved her hands, creating a transparent barrier that was visible to the naked eye, and instantly vanished into thin air.
"Little fox, the real danger lies inside the cave. If you encounter anything suspicious later, remember to hide."
No way! This fox is not one to fear death!
Where are my companions? This fox won't hold you back!
Xiang Wan tugged at the beauty's clothes to show her displeasure.
The beauty placed the evening light on her shoulder and stepped into the cave.
The cave was very dark, but the beauty conjured a ball of spiritual fire at her fingertips, illuminating a distance of about ten feet in front of her.
On the dry cave walls, faint traces of burning can be seen, along with huge footprints with five separate claws and deep scratches at the toes.
Judging from the footprints, this animal is quite large, with sharp toes, and is a formidable opponent.
