"You call me disgusting? What kind of good people are you righteous people?" Shangguan Zhi retorted with a sneer, her words full of contempt.
Rong Yan was caught in the middle, feeling awkward from both sides, and kept his body low to the ground.
"What, you want to go with her again?" Lin Yueyao turned her head and pointed the finger at Rong Yan, who hurriedly explained, "No, Sister Fox, she..."
"Who does she count as your sister?" Lin Yueyao said sternly, suppressing her emotions. Rong Yan's last sentence was interrupted, leaving him feeling like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.
"If you still know who you are, then kill her yourself."
If you don't dare to take action, don't blame her for turning ruthless.
"Senior sister—" Rong Yan was anxious and tried to tug at her sleeve, but she ruthlessly pushed him away.
The force was so great that he was flipped to the ground with a thud, the sound of a human body hitting the ground.
"Rong Yan—" Shangguan Zhi helped him up. She supported Rong Yan, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "If you don't like me, just have a good fight. Why make things difficult for a child?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Lin Yueyao smiled and called out to Wen Qing.
Benben, with his sharp eyes, grabbed Rong Yan's collar, tossed it into the air, and caught it with his body.
They carried him away from the battlefield.
"You idiot, why are you carrying me around?" He punched him angrily. Rong Yan, who was on Rong Yan's back, punched him several more times. "Take me back now."
"Let's hide for a while." The battlefield of women is too terrifying. Back in the tribe, mother wolves would do anything to win the favor of the wolf king. Benben has witnessed it firsthand.
To avoid being accidentally hurt, Benben carried him on her back and hid not far away.
An excellent territory that offers a view of the main room and provides self-defense.
"Do you know that you're not attractive to men at all?" Shangguan Zhi made a move to strike, but she easily dodged it.
"What are men anyway?" Lin Yueyao didn't care; it was enough for her to stay with her master.
"Since you don't care so much, why bother with other people's business?" The fox tail's thick fur swept across Lin Yueyao's front. She ducked, but her clothes were torn by the swirling fur.
"I am his senior sister." The implication is that she has the right to decide Rong Yan's life or death, which is an indisputable fact.
If it weren't for her master's instructions, she wouldn't have interfered at all; it's just that the old man likes Rong Yan.
“Even if you are my senior sister, you shouldn’t make the choice for him. Rong Yan is afraid of you.” Shangguan Zhi was injured by her sword, and several strands of fur on her fox tail were cut off, revealing her fleshy skin.
A man's fear of a woman could stem from a natural sense of superiority, an unequal social status, or a disparity in strength.
It's more likely that this is just a man's nature, so Rong Yan's fear of her stems from respect for her status as his senior sister.
Of course, Lin Yueyao wanted to know why, so she asked, "Rong Yan, are you afraid of me?"
Hiding in the shadows, Rong Yan felt a jolt of fear and almost blurted out, "I'm not afraid."
He used to be afraid of his senior sister, always thinking she was cold and aloof, and didn't like talking to people. But actually, she was quite interesting to be around. She loved his grilled fish, and wouldn't even notice the oil on her lips while eating. When he went to pay his respects to their master, he would see his senior sister just getting up. She was still sleepy-eyed, with a strand of hair hanging by her ear. Whether it was an oversight or intentional, that strand of hair peeked out from her usually high-tied ponytail, making her look elegant and graceful. Her usual imposing manner vanished, and in his eyes, she was simply a fresh and refined woman.
This senior sister also has a stubborn side. Although she is obedient to her master, she will also show her annoyance if her master nags endlessly.
Especially Benben, he's a bit slow-witted, but his senior sister actually kept him by his side for his sake.
Lin Yueyao smiled with relief, while Shangguan Zhi's face stiffened. "Even if he's not afraid of you, you shouldn't pressure him."
"Enough." Annoyed, Lin Yueyao spoke up to stop him, her voice cold as she said, "You drugged him."
What if such a young child goes astray and becomes possessed by using this kind of thing?
Shangguan Zhi knew she was in the wrong and was determined to fight back. The more she looked at her, the angrier she became, and in an instant, the world turned upside down.
The fox tail wrapped around the coffin and threw it forward with force, and Lin Yueyao drew her sword to slash at it.
The coffin was shattered into pieces, and the inside was completely empty. Shangguan Zhi's face was ashen. "Where are the things inside?"
She questioned Lin Yueyao, who then belatedly realized, "You took it. Hand it back—"
The two were fighting fiercely, and Benben closed his eyes in fear.
As they fought back and forth, the residual force shattered another coffin, and a treasure mirror resembling the Six Harmonies Mirror fell out.
Rong Yan patted Benben, signaling Benben to go forward and retrieve it. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, Benben joined the battle and was cut on the ear by the sword energy coming from the side.
With a howl, it snatched the treasure mirror and scurried into the shadows.
Take the treasure mirror out of his mouth; it has the words "Auspicious Treasure Mirror" on it.
"What is this?" Rong Yan didn't recognize it. He held it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly. One side of the mirror reflected his image.
His eyes and brows were gentle, and apart from his youthful appearance, the background suggested he was from a certain tribe.
Besides him, the mirror also reflected the clansmen who had bullied him.
He was so frightened that he let go of the treasure mirror, which fell to the ground.
Benben didn't understand why he was afraid, and simply explained, "I recognize this thing, it's called the Ruyi Baibaojian (Auspicious Treasure Mirror)."
"It can distinguish between genuine and fake. The more someone tries to hide something, the more the treasure mirror will reveal its true nature." Benben continued enthusiastically, "This thing can not only distinguish between genuine and fake, but also between real and fake people, such as swords, gems, and antiques. It's very useful."
In Benben's eyes, this was a great item for traveling the world. He picked it up from the ground and told Rong Yan to hold it steady so that he wouldn't drop it and break it.
Little did he know that Rong Yan was a hot potato. His fingertips trembled slightly, his lips twitched, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Look how happy the master is, he can't even speak."
Instead of being happy, Rong Yan felt as if his soul had flown to another world, and he was at a loss for what to do.
A buzzing sound filled my ears, and I forgot where I was.
The battle raged fiercely, destroying both coffins. The secret realm was filled with the sound of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting open. The main chamber door slammed shut, and the formation was activated.
Shangguan Zhi suddenly collapsed to the ground, and when Rong Yan was seen, he and Benben had also collapsed to the ground and fallen into a coma.
Taking a step forward, my eyelids felt as heavy as lead, and my feet felt like they weighed a ton; I couldn't take another step no matter what.
He collapsed to the ground with a thud, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
I woke up to find myself surrounded by lush greenery and verdant vegetation.
Looking around, she found herself in a natural, primeval forest.
Lin Yueyao tried to activate her spiritual power and examined the lines on her palm, but there was no change whatsoever.
They knew they were still in the secret realm.
The formation here is similar to that of Lanxi Town. The demon with the painted skin uses magic to disguise himself as someone he is jealous of or someone he loves, intending to make him unable to extricate himself from it.
Whose memories lie beneath our feet? And who is it meant to trap?
Lin Yueyao continued walking forward. The array formation in the secret realm was incredibly powerful. She could personally experience the temperature of the primeval forest and be bitten by mosquitoes. She also couldn't use her spiritual power.
He was bitten by mosquitoes and had several large welts. Fortunately, he still had his spirit pouch with him, but he couldn't summon Wenqing.
Barefoot I crossed a stream, admiring the lonely grass growing by the ravine, while orioles sang in the deep trees above.
As I walked, I heard a few voices.
Pushing aside the branches of the bushes, Lin Yueyao approached and saw two hunters and a mother wolf.
The mother wolf's belly was drooping, indicating that she was pregnant.
The hunters were two burly men, their bodies bearing scars from years of hardship, and carrying long knives and bows and arrows.
Outnumbered and outgunned, the mother wolf was doomed to be captured by two hunters.
Lin Yueyao stood to the side as the hunter passed through her body and charged toward the mother wolf.
Knowing she was outmatched, the mother wolf tried to hide in the jungle, but there were too many thorns. The hunter, who was focused on capturing her alive, was scratched and wounded.
With his face disfigured, he screamed and yelled for the mother wolf to die.
The mother wolf circled back and forth in the jungle, completely outmaneuvering the two hunters.
Enraged, the hunter threw a wood-chopping knife, which struck the mother wolf squarely in the hind leg.
The mother wolf cried out in pain, then tucked her tail between her legs and disappeared into some hole.
The hunter searched the forest for a long time but couldn't find it, so he had to give up.
Lin Yueyao climbed mountains and waded through rivers to reach the mother wolf. The mother wolf had already given birth to wolf cubs, and the soft, cuddly little wolves were nestled beside her.
The wolf cub's fur was wet, and its eyes could not be opened. The mother wolf licked the cub's body little by little.
The mother wolf was weak after giving birth and suffered severe bleeding. By the time the pups opened their eyes, they were already on the verge of death.
The wolf king led his people, following the scent, to the cave, where the mother wolf had already passed away.
The wolf cub was taken away by the wolf king and left the cave.
Lin Yueyao followed them back to the tribe's territory. The wolf cubs were newly born and needed to drink milk.
The wolf king was leading the pack to find a new habitat, and the wolf cubs were left to be raised by the pack members.
Soon the winter season arrived, and without finding a place to live, the tribesmen froze to death on the road.
One after another, the wolf cubs died of exhaustion and froze on the way, but the wolf king was completely unaware.
Its body lay paralyzed on the cold lake surface, its faint body heat melting the ice and snow, and it gradually sank to the bottom of the water.
The wolf cub was frozen numb and was submerged in the lake when a hand pulled it out.
He was a carefree hermit, with a smile in his eyes, who took the little wolf by his side and carefully taught him, dispelling his violent nature.
After raising the wolf cub for a while, when it grew up, the carefree hermit left without saying goodbye.
The little wolf resumed his life of wandering and drifting among the common people.
Lin Yueyao recognized it; the little wolf was Benben.
When it got older, Benben wandered around and was constantly driven away by humans. Xiaoyao Sanren taught it hunting skills.
But it doesn't want to hurt its own kind, especially rabbits, which are soft, cute, and adorable; it prefers to be friends with them.
And so, Benben wandered aimlessly until he met her and Rong Yan, and only then did he settle down.
In Benben's memory, there wasn't much pain; in fact, he had received heartfelt guidance from the carefree hermit in the first half of his life.
The memory ended, and Lin Yueyao remained motionless, waiting for the next moment to arrive.
The primeval forest was covered by a grassland. Lin Yueyao had seen the immortal geomancy map before, and the location she was in should be the spirit of Qingqiu, one of the subordinates of Wanyaozhai.
The Qingqiu fox clan lives there; every fox demon there is beautiful, making it a place that all men yearn for.
Lin Yueyao took a step and entered the frame.
This is Shangguan Zhi's memory.
