Zhou Yuanyuan's smile was so beautiful that several people couldn't help but stare at her.
"What?" Zhao Qiang asked stupidly. Zhang Qiang looked at Zhou Yuanyuan's smile, and there was only one thought in his mind: this Miss Jiao is really beautiful. As for the meaning of Zhou Yuanyuan's words, Zhao Qiang's confused mind had not yet figured it out.
"I said that your name should be read backwards from now on, called Qiang Zhang, because... the Black Bear Demon has arrived." Zhou Yuanyuan glanced at Zhang Qiang with disdain and ignored him. He was just a frog in the well who didn't know the immensity of the world. He wasted his breath by talking too much.
Zhou Yuanyuan took out a jade talisman from her bosom and handed it to Zhou Xi, saying, "Grandpa Xi, you stay in the house with the three of them. If there is any emergency, you can use your spiritual energy to activate the jade talisman."
"Ah? Young lady, what are you doing?" Zhou Xi pinched the jade talisman that Zhou Yuanyuan had stuffed into his mouth with one hand, and with the other, he grabbed Zhou Yuanyuan's arm, stopping her from running away. The Black Bear Demon was so powerful, how could he let the young lady face it? If anyone was going, it should be him, an old man like him, who should go.
"Grandpa Xi, don't worry about me, it's okay." Zhou Yuanyuan patted Zhou Xi's hand that was holding her arm comfortingly. While Zhou Xi was stunned, Zhou Yuanyuan jumped and was already ten meters away.
Zhou Yuanyuan's figure was very fast. After a shadow left, her voice could be heard in the air: "Grandpa Xi, remember to activate the jade talisman when you encounter danger!"
Zhou Xi's hand grabbed nothing and he stood there, staring at the empty door, stunned. Zhou Xi had always known that Zhou Yuanyuan was no ordinary person, but he had never expected her skills to be so good, so good that he looked up to her. "Master, a general's daughter is not a good daughter!" Zhou Xi felt very relieved.
"Am I seeing things? Miss Jiao's kung fu is so powerful?" Zhang Qiang was also stunned by Zhou Yuanyuan's skills. This time, he said out what Yu Xiaochuan and Zhou Cheng were thinking.
Yu Xiaochuan and Zhou Cheng looked at each other, as if asking each other if they were seeing things. After a long moment, they smiled at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that they all made a mistake. Miss Jiao, who they thought would be a drag, is actually a master among masters. There are too many mysterious things in this world, and we really can't underestimate anyone!
"No, I want to go and take a look." After Zhou Yuanyuan left, Zhou Xi was quiet for a few seconds, still feeling uneasy. Zhou Xi felt that since Zhou Yuanyuan came out with him, he had the responsibility to protect her safety. At this time, Zhou Xi did not know that General Zhou asked Zhou Yuanyuan to follow him in order to protect him. The reason why General Zhou did not tell Zhou Xi was because he was afraid of hurting Zhou Xi's self-esteem. After all, General Zhou was uneasy because of Zhou Xi's departure, but it did not mean that their trip would be dangerous. Letting Zhou Yuanyuan follow, General Zhou just wanted to feel at ease!
Zhou Xi rushed out with his head down. According to Yu Xiaochuan, this black bear demon must have lived for at least several hundred years, and his power must be profound. How could he let the young lady face danger while he stayed here and did nothing? He had only one thought in mind: to block the young lady's way. As long as he, Zhou Xi, was still alive, he would never allow the young lady to suffer the slightest harm.
Zhou Xi rushed to the door, but couldn't move his feet. Although the door was open, a flexible force blocked Zhou Xi's progress. This... Isn't this the barrier used by the master? Zhou Xi was surprised and happy.
Back then, Taoist Baopu had demonstrated the magic of the barrier to Zhou Xi in order to convince him to become his disciple. With a few casual gestures, Taoist Baopu suddenly created a transparent barrier that trapped Zhou Xi. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through it.
Taoist Baopu told Zhou Xi that this was the method used by cultivators. When a barrier is erected, those inside are protected by it, and conversely, those outside cannot harm those inside. This method is usually used by masters when they encounter masters, to protect their lower-level disciples.
Of course, the barrier is not omnipotent. If the person outside the barrier has a higher level of power than the person in the barrier, he can break the barrier by force.
It was obvious that the young lady knew how powerful the Black Bear Demon was and considered them her protectors! Zhou Xi was both anxious and relieved.
Let’s not talk about Zhou Xi’s impatience for now, let’s just say that after Zhou Yuanyuan rushed out of the main room, she headed towards the deep mountains in the west.
In Zhou Yuanyuan's mind, a few hills away from Cuiyuan Village, Hu Sanniang and a short, dark-skinned, fat man were engaged in a fierce fight. They were either throwing spiritual energy bombs at each other or clawing at each other, cursing and swearing as they fought.
Zhou Xi and a few others were there, and Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want them to get hurt, so she wanted to take the initiative to help Hu Sanniang.
There was a trace of blood on Hu Sanniang's shoulder blade, and it looked like she was seriously injured by the Black Bear Demon. However, the Black Bear Demon did not get any advantage from Hu Sanniang, and he had several more wounds on his body than Hu Sanniang.
"Master, hurry up, let's go and help the little fox. Oh, the little fox is injured." Xiaoyu followed Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual consciousness and saw Hu Sanniang's situation clearly. Seeing Hu Sanniang's miserable condition, Xiaoyu couldn't help but shouted anxiously.
"Xiaoyu, stop making noise," Zhou Yuanyuan scolded. Hu Sanniang and the Black Bear Demon were engaged in a fierce battle, and Zhou Yuanyuan was just trying to decide whether to launch a sneak attack or engage in a fair fight. Xiaoyu's outburst had her mind completely clouded.
Before Zhou Yuanyuan could think clearly, Hu Sanniang and the Black Bear Demon were already less than a hundred meters away from her. Zhou Yuanyuan looked at the trees all over the mountain, leaped up from the ground, stood on the top of a tall tree, and cast a Concealment Technique on herself.
In the blink of an eye, Hu Sanniang and the Black Bear Demon arrived at the tree where Zhou Yuanyuan was standing. Hu Sanniang was not paying attention when the Black Bear Demon swung a spiritual knife at her, slicing off a piece of her scalp. Furious, Hu Sanniang cursed, "Stone Bear, you bastard, how dare you damage my hair? Take my claws!"
Although Hu Sanniang's injuries weren't serious and only required a small amount of spiritual energy to heal, no one dared to waste spiritual energy on healing during a fight. Furthermore, until the cracks in Hu Sanniang's inner core were repaired, even a little spiritual energy was invaluable to her. While the Black Bear Demon could lavishly use spiritual energy like a bullet or a knife, Hu Sanniang could only apply a thin layer of spiritual energy to her claws, striving to maximize the effectiveness of the minimal spiritual energy.
When the black bear demon saw Hu Sanniang's claws grabbing at his head, he dodged Hu Sanniang's attack.
