Meeting Xiang Wan's puzzled gaze, Wang Lin recalled what she had witnessed earlier, and felt as if needles were pricking her heart.
She had never felt so frustrated or humiliated in her entire life!
You forced me to do this, it's all your fault!
Wang Lin's expression was ferocious. She took out a blackish-green bullet from her storage bag, infused it with spiritual power, and threw it towards Xiang Wan.
The bullet seemed perfectly normal, but Xiang Wan felt uneasy about it.
She quickly withdrew and retreated, but Wang Lin seemed not to have seen it, letting the bullet fall to the ground with a "poof," turning into a wisp of blackish-green smoke that slowly formed the image of a lewd and evil old man.
The old man faced the direction of Xiang Wan, and a hoarse voice came from inside: "Not bad, not bad, a top-quality specimen. I'm very satisfied, Ancestor, hehehehe..."
The smoke gradually dissipated amidst laughter, and Wang Lin was already riding her flying sword into the air.
Even if she was slow-witted, Xiang Wan knew that she had been tricked by her, so how could she let her leave at this moment?
You can tell whether someone has the skill or not the moment they throw the red ball.
Watching it crunch away at Wang Lin's silver sword with its large mouth, Xiang Wan wondered if there was anything it couldn't eat.
Without the Silver Light Sword, Wang Lin fell from mid-air and was grabbed by the neck by Xiang Wan.
This time, without any hesitation, she snapped her neck with a "crack".
Looking at the communication talisman in her hand that had not yet been sent, Xiang Wan had an idea.
She took off Wang Lin's storage bag, then carried the corpse to the cave entrance blocked by rocks.
Listening closely, she heard no more movement inside. She then moved the rocks aside one by one, threw the corpse and the communication talisman inside, and put the cave entrance back to its original state.
Although I am strong and dealing with a corpse is not difficult, it is not good if this happens every time.
Moreover, the old man in the dark green smoke looked like someone not to be trifled with. Being targeted by him, Xiang Wan felt her life would never be peaceful. To ensure her safety in the early stages, she needed to find a strong backer.
Thinking this, Xiang Wan recalled the figure she had seen through the membrane.
We don't know which sect he belongs to; the only clue is the color of his clothes.
Touching the fur ball, Xiang Wan walked and thought, returning to the place where the three of them had parted ways. The sky was gradually darkening.
As the chirping of insects began, Xiang Wan sensed something was amiss, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
A crescent moon hung in the night sky, the night breeze was cool, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and there was no one else in the woods except her.
Wait, there are other figures besides her!
Damn, is this a ghost?
Is it appropriate for ghosts to exist in a world of cultivation?
What if it's not a ghost? Wouldn't that be even more terrifying?
The plucking motion with my fingers slowed down, and goosebumps gradually emerged from under my skin.
Slowly turning his head, he saw the figure move slightly.
Xiang Wan shuddered and threw the red ball over without thinking.
Whether it's a human or a ghost, smash it first!
The red ball was fast asleep when it was thrown out again. It bared its teeth in dissatisfaction and jumped back in an instant.
The figure disappeared without a sound, and Xiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that it's not human!
I broke out in a cold sweat, but a gentle breeze brought a refreshing coolness.
cool?
Xiang Wan thought about it carefully and understood.
"Red ball, it's up to you now."
She scanned her surroundings, and if she saw anything amiss, she would throw the red ball over there.
After throwing it about seven or eight times, Xiang Wan heard a rapid "chirp" sound, but the red ball didn't come back. She knew then that it had caught the thing.
Damn it, it's one thing to tease her once, but to do it again? Does she really think she's easy to bully?
She walked over and, by the moonlight, Xiang Wan saw a furry creature slightly larger than the red ball, begging for mercy under the red ball's mouth. It looked as pitiful as could be.
"Red ball, you have a companion now."
Xiang Wan smiled and held the little guy in her hand, examining him in the moonlight.
This is a grayish-white creature with black spots. Its four short legs are curled up, hugging its belly. Its two round ears are pressed tightly against its body. On its forehead are two short, round tentacles, each with a small, transparent ball at the tip. Its eyes are small and grayish; looking at them for too long can cause dizziness.
"So pathetic, how could this beast possibly be interested?"
The innocent voice of a child echoed in her mind, inexplicably reminding Xiang Wan of a cute little boy, adorable to the extreme.
The red ball speaks in a cute but fierce tone, seemingly looking down on the little beast, but it doesn't actually bite it, showing that it's saying one thing and meaning another.
Okay, let's not rub salt in the wound and give the red ball some face.
"You are the Cloud Dream Beast?"
After looking at it for a long time, Xiang Wan really couldn't connect this little beast with the Cloud Dream Beast. She always thought the Cloud Dream Beast was so powerful, how could it be so pathetic?
In some respects, Xiang Wan's views are quite similar to Hong Qiu's.
The little beast looked at Xiang Wan with a pitiful expression, chirping for a while, and finally stared longingly at the red ball. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the red ball had done something to it.
The red ball shifted impatiently, made a threatening sound, and then said in Xiang Wan's mind, "It said it is the Cloud Dream Beast and got separated from its family. It's not an adult yet and is afraid of being caught by others, so it wants you to protect it."
Even a small animal knows how to find a backer, Xiang Wan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
She is also very weak now, and she doesn't know where her backer is.
Seeing that Xiang Wan did not agree, the little beast chirped for a while longer.
The red ball bounced twice on the ground, its disdainful tone tinged with sourness in Xiang Wan's voice. "It's asking you, how did you see through the dream it wove?"
