"You're awake." Xiu Qiyu slowly opened her eyes, having changed into a moon-white robe, exuding unparalleled elegance.
Ye Xiruo stood up somewhat guiltily: "How are you feeling?"
"Much better, I have the strength to fight." Indeed, life-or-death situations can unleash a person's greatest potential. Xiu Qiyu felt that after recovering from her injuries, she should be able to advance to the late Golden Core stage after absorbing everything in her seclusion. The entire Luoxia Valley only had three late Golden Core stage cultivators and one Nascent Soul stage cultivator. A late Golden Core stage cultivator under twenty years old was practically unheard of.
But thinking of Ye Xiruo's lightning-fast cultivation speed, Xiu Qiyu stroked his chin, thinking that maybe he could even surpass him.
“It’s daytime now, we can go out.” Ye Xiruo ran over quickly, took Xiu Qiyu’s hand, and with a slight movement of her mental energy, the two left the space.
It was the same place they had entered last night. Apart from a few dried bloodstains, the lush forest was still filled with the sound of wind and the joyful chirping of birds and beasts.
"Let's get out of here quickly!" Ye Xiruo's expression was not good. Perhaps it was because of the bloody battle last night, or perhaps it was out of fear of the Emperor Beast. Ye Xiruo wanted to leave this place now.
"Alright, let's go out!" Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo walked side by side, their snow-white sword light still as cold and clear as the moon even in broad daylight.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they could see the scene outside the ring. Ye Xiruo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she had survived a disaster.
Indeed, strength is the most important thing in this world; without strength, you can't even save your own life. By now, everyone from Liu Family Village is probably gone!
Xiu Qiyu flashed an invisible sword aura from her fingertips, and a fiery red rabbit hiding behind a tree fell to the ground. Ye Xiru walked over, picked up the rabbit, which weighed about ten pounds and had no damage to its fur. It could be used to make a scarf.
"Today we're having roasted rabbit."
Xiu Qiyu took the rabbit with a bright smile on her face. Ye Xiruo turned her face away. This monster should not be allowed to wreak havoc on the world.
Amidst the flashing sword light, Xiu Qiyu killed several more small prey.
"Alright, this is enough for us to eat." Ye Xiruo sighed, "Don't kill them."
Xiu Qiyu leisurely collected all the prey, put them into a storage bag, and tossed it to Ye Xiruo.
The sound of the storage bag hitting the ground was quite obvious. Ye Xiruo's entire attention was drawn to the small, snow-white pet in front of her, with only the tip of its tail and four paws being golden.
Its tiny body, with its fluffy white fur, makes you want to pat it hard. Its golden eyes, with imperial green pupils in the center, stare at Ye Xiruo with some confusion.
Ye Xiruo reached out her hand. This little animal was so cute. Its small body was round and chubby, revealing four tiny golden paws. Its silly and adorable expression reminded Ye Xiruo of the giant panda cub in her previous life. It was also a tiny little ball of fluff, clumsily turning over to reveal its snow-white belly.
"Danger!" The system's cold voice made Ye Xiruo's hand stop in mid-air. Her dark eyes were filled with doubt. This little thing was dangerous.
The little thing was still staring blankly at Ye Xiruo, its eyes sparkling like top-grade gemstones.
Ye Xiruo quickly submitted, placing her hands on the back of the little creature's neck and rubbing it. The little creature's eyes narrowed quickly, and its drooping ears twitched, clearly intoxicated.
Xiu Qiyu walked over and looked at the small animal in front of her with a serious expression.
It was a cub, looking very weak, and shouldn't be able to harm Ye Xiruo, but Xiu Qiyu had a vague feeling that something was wrong. This was the inner circle that made countless people tremble with fear; it was definitely not an ordinary animal.
Judging from its appearance and aura, it should be a spirit beast, but Xiu Qiyu didn't know what kind of spirit beast it was. Xiu Qiyu frowned deeply.
After thinking about it more carefully, there was still no information about this spirit beast. Could it be a descendant of a king-level spirit beast?
At this moment, the little creature had already jumped into Ye Xiruo's arms, and Ye Xiruo stroked its soft, white fur with a look of ecstasy. Actually, what she really wanted to touch were its drooping ears, but she restrained herself, not wanting to scare the little creature away.
"There's something strange about this spirit beast." Xiu Qiyu stopped Ye Xiruo, who wanted to take the spirit beast out.
"It didn't attack me."
"Perhaps it's just misleading you. With so many people dying in the inner circle every day, anything can happen."
As Ye Xiruo stroked the little thing in her arms, the system's reminder and Xiu Qiyu's words both indicated one thing: the one in her arms might really be a descendant of a great demon!
Gently placing the little creature on the ground, Ye Xiruo felt a pang of reluctance: "Alright, little one, I have to go back now. I'll come see you again when I have the chance."
The little creature stared at Ye Xiruo with its green pupils, and its droopy ears twitched. Ye Xiruo had a strange feeling that the little creature seemed to be angry.
I quickly stroked its fur and said, "Don't be angry. You're still small. When you grow up, I can take you out."
Ye Xiruo was still talking to herself, but Xiu Qiyu could see clearly that the little thing's body had swelled up like a ball, and its size had doubled.
Ye Xiruo stared wide-eyed at the suddenly enlarged little thing, feeling that this world was simply too fantastical.
"Are you alright? Change back quickly." Ye Xiruo always had a horrifying feeling that the little thing might burst like a balloon.
The little fluffy ball roared at Xiu Qiyu, then shrank back into a tiny ball.
Xiu Qiyu's heart was in turmoil. This was no mere cub; it was clearly a peerless demon with terrifying bloodline and talent. That brief glance from just now had given him a feeling of utter shock.
This time, the little thing jumped into Ye Xiruo's arms on its own initiative, biting Ye Xiruo's finger with its sharp teeth. Ye Xiruo just thought it was a child's behavior and didn't pay any attention.
I didn't expect the little thing to actually bite down and bleed; that was my gut feeling.
The little creature stuck out its pink tongue and licked Ye Xiruo's finger; the drop of blood quickly disappeared. The tiny wound was gone too, and Ye Xiruo didn't think much of it.
"I really have to go now. I'll come to see you often." Ye Xiruo put the little thing on the ground. This time, the little thing didn't do anything special, it just looked at Ye Xiruo.
Then he turned around and quickly disappeared into the jungle.
"It's gone."
“This is its true home, where human nature is most complex.” Xiu Qiyu’s expression was somewhat complicated.
"I have a vague feeling that I've seen it before, and that we're very close." But that's impossible. This life has only just begun. Even in my past life, it would have been impossible to encounter such a peculiar fluffy ball.
