The Nine Tiger Beast was difficult to deal with, but under Mu Ci's command and the cooperation of the three people, they finally succeeded in taming the Nine Tiger Beast.

Bing Ningqing looked at Mu Ci with a complicated expression. She didn't expect that this woman had the ability to tame beasts. And the man named Chu Xi seemed to be far less powerful than he showed now.

The reason why he was able to tame the beast successfully this time was mainly because Mu Ci’s mental strength was strong enough to directly confront the Nine Tiger Beast’s restless and manic consciousness, thus taming it bit by bit.

Mu Ci glanced at the male protagonist who still had no reaction and even looked relieved. She was a little dazed for a moment and even felt that she was the powerful protagonist who got the script.

I don’t know why, but the male protagonist doesn’t have any strength now, Mu Ci is a little confused.

At the beginning, she threw all the most rare and cutting-edge skills to him. According to the hero's talent in the plot, with these skills, plus some guidance from her from time to time and even some elixirs to help with cultivation and upgrading, how come he is still as weak as this little weakling?

According to the normal development routine, the accidentally triggered Nine Tiger Beast instance should have been successfully tamed by the male protagonist in the end, so how come it became her now?

After dealing with the Nine Tiger Beast, a large spirit beast, Mu Ci and the other two were now able to walk freely in the Yiling Valley. However, the sky had darkened, and dark clouds covered the sky, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall.

After some discussion, the three of them found a cave to rest for a while. Chu Xi just wanted to help Mu Ci treat his wounds again.

It was now completely dark and a fire was lit in the cave.

Chu Xi was sitting next to Mu Ci. The firelight illuminated his handsome face, which showed a rare softness. There was even a hint of other complex meanings in his eyes.

Chu Xi helped Mu Ci re-bandage the wound. Although Mu Ci felt it was unnecessary, he could not resist Chu Xi's insistence. The determination in his eyes made it impossible for Mu Ci to say no.

After everything was handled, Mu Ci looked around and a flash of light flashed quickly before his eyes.

Valley, sacred beast, cave, male protagonist.

This means that there must be a lot of good things in this cave, probably the kind of good things specially tailored for the male protagonist.

However, Chu Xi, who was thinking about something, seemed to have no intention of getting up. Bing Ningqing, who was sitting opposite him, was also closing her eyes to rest because she had used up most of her energy.

Mu Ci was a little anxious, but he couldn't show it.

"Chu Xi, go check the situation in the cave and see if there are any snakes, insects, rats, ants or the like." Mu Ci gave the order in the same tone that a master usually uses to instruct his disciples.

A hint of surprise flashed across Chu Xi's eyes, but he still stood up obediently and listened to Mu Ci's words. Before leaving, he glanced vigilantly at Bing Ningqing opposite him, and then walked into the cave.

He never thought that his master in this life would still be afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Thinking of the expression on her face when she said those four words just now, and her bright and beautiful face reflected in the firelight, Chu Xi's throat suddenly tightened, and his heart felt like something was pulling and itching.

Master’s reaction is quite true.

It was quite different from her usual serious self, and it made him feel like there was a little feather in his heart, making him unable to control himself.

Chu Xi stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, and walked into the dark cave. The cool breeze blew on his face, removing a lot of the heat, but he couldn't suppress the uncontrollable throbbing in his heart.

My heart is beating like a drum.

"Master, there are a lot of good things in there. This cave doesn't seem to be an ordinary cave." Chu Xi walked over and glanced at Bing Ningqing beside him, then leaned close to Mu Ci's ear, leaned over and whispered softly.

The breath of Chu Xi's words hit Mu Ci's cheek. The slightly hoarse and low voice in his ear was once again deliberately suppressed and exploded in Mu Ci's mind.

Mu Ci's ears turned visibly red.

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Mu Ci pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll go take a look with Miss Bing later."

Chu Xi was pushed aside by her, and the distance between them widened. Although the firelight flickered, the yellow light illuminated Mu Ci clearly, and he could clearly see the red ear that looked like it was dripping with blood.

Chu Xi's heart moved, and his hand uncontrollably wanted to pinch the red earlobe. When Chu Xi came to his senses, his slender fingers were gently pinching Mu Ci's red earlobe.

It feels very good and soft, not at all like this person's cold and aloof appearance.

Since he had used up almost all of his mental energy in dealing with the Nine Tiger Beasts, plus he had been injured before, Mu Ci was completely not on guard or alert at all at this moment.

He felt as if his earlobe was being pinched so suddenly. Although the force was not strong, it made Mu Cihun's body freeze.

What the hell is this guy doing?

Mu Ci's heart was so heavy that he almost skipped a beat.

Chu Xi panicked a bit when he met Mu Ci's eyes, but it was not obvious. He quickly calmed down and even rubbed it twice more naturally. Then he withdrew his hand and met Mu Ci's surprised eyes. He explained seriously: "Master, a small thing was flying around your ear just now."

What he meant was that his actions just now were only for her own good, and he had no other thoughts at all, so she shouldn't think too much about it.

Even said it with some innocence.

Mu Ci looked at him for a long time, and seeing that there was indeed nothing, he hummed casually and stopped looking at him.

Seeing her like this, Chu Xi raised the corners of his mouth slightly without anyone noticing.

Although Chu Xi lowered his voice when he said that he had discovered the treasure, he did not deliberately prevent Bing Ningqing from hearing it, so Bing Ningqing opened her eyes as soon as he finished speaking.

Chu Xi had never intended to keep this secret. No matter what, Bing Ningqing should know about this.

However, just now, when he discovered the treasure, his subconscious reaction was to tell Mu Ci as soon as possible, and he even had a vague desire to seek credit and praise.

Chu Xi felt that something was wrong with him.

And the source of all this is related to his master, this seemingly heartless woman.

After resting for a while, the three of them walked towards the place in the cave that Chu Xi discovered.

When we got there, as expected, there were indeed a lot of good things inside.

The three of them shared it equally. Mu Ci was the one who put in the most effort and made the greatest contribution, so she should choose first.

After taking a look at those god-level skills and artifacts, Mu Ci simply picked a few and let Bing Ningqing and Chu Xi divide the rest equally.

When Chu Xi saw Mu Ci picking out those things, he felt something was wrong.

He knew the attributes of Mu Ci's cultivation, but the skills and techniques she chose had nothing to do with her cultivation. Instead, they were very compatible with the attributes of his current cultivation.

Chu Xi looked at Mu Ci's back and suddenly felt something strange in his heart.

After resting, they learned the exit of the Soul-Suppressing Valley from the Nine-Tiger Beast. After leaving the Soul-Suppressing Valley, the three of them went their separate ways.

At the same time, Mu Ci also planned to part ways with Chu Xi.

After all, those monks we saw outside the secret realm before are still a big hidden danger, and they will probably catch up with us soon.

Although she was not very reassured about Chu Xi being alone in this secret realm, compared to being hunted by those monks, Mu Ci still felt that it was much better for Chu Xi to go in alone than to go with her.

Moreover, according to the master's style, he would not deliberately make things difficult for a young cultivator whose strength was not that great for the time being, so Mu Ci was not worried that Chu Xi would have any problems.

But what Mu Ci didn't expect was that the male protagonist's family was not happy, and they were very, very unhappy.

"Master, are you going to look for Bai Anwu?"

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Mu Ci, as if he might hit her if she said a wrong word.

Mu Ci was speechless.

She and he parted ways, so what did it have to do with Bai Anwu? How could everything be linked to him?

"No." Mu Ci said lightly.

"Why would you separate from me?"

There is still no causal relationship between the two, okay? Mu Ci was almost confused by Chu Xi.

"Why so many reasons? I just don't want you to follow me."

Go have fun by yourself.

Mu Ci thought about his own settings. There was no need to explain anything to him. If he didn't listen, he could just be beaten up. That was right.

“…”

Chu Xi heard Mu Ci's completely unreasonable words. If she had said that in the past, he would definitely be angry. But now when he heard Mu Ci say that, although he did feel uncomfortable, he felt more depressed and not too angry.

Without waiting for Chu Xi to say anything, Mu Ci directly threw a Qiankun bag to him, and then quickly left, leaving her completely out of sight.

Chu Xi's eyes were dark, and there seemed to be a demonic aura in them.

Next time, next time he would not give this woman the chance to slip away from under his nose so ruthlessly.

As expected, as soon as Mu Ci separated from Chu Xi, she ran into the monks sent by the sect leader to assassinate her. Although these people were difficult to deal with, Mu Ci was still Mu Ci after all. Her strength was absolutely unquestionable, and she had no problem fighting them head-on.

While Mu Ci and the monk were facing each other head on, Chu Xi on the other side accidentally entered into an illusion.

This illusion was a formation, and Chu Xi found it very easy to crack at first.

The previous tests in the illusions were all tests of his character. Chu Xi was very clear about what he wanted. He wanted to become strong enough, but because of what happened in his previous life, he could deal with the temptations and betrayals that he might encounter in the future with a normal mentality.

So these are not a big problem for him at all.

Chu Xi quickly found the center of the formation.

But this illusion is interconnected.

What comes before is just the foundation. The huge array of illusions at the back truly reveals the truest desires in the depths of one's heart, causing one to indulge in them and lose oneself in the depths of illusion.

Chu Xi was now in the center of the illusion. In front of him was a simple room with several piles of bamboo slips and scrolls placed on the desk. The room was clean and tidy. Next to it was a long whip with barbs on it, faintly stained with blood that had long since dried up.

This room looked familiar, Chu Xi recognized it at first sight.

It is Mu Ci's room.

But it also feels a little strange.

It was not the master of today, but the master in the previous life who beat and scolded him every day, and whipped him mercilessly with a long whip.

Chu Xi was a little confused about what this illusion was trying to do.

He was already certain that his current master was not the same person as his master in his previous life, so everything before him seemed like a nightmare to him and there was nothing to be afraid of.

A person appeared in the room again. It was the "Mu Ci" from the previous life. He was staring at him fiercely with the same disgust and disdain as in the previous life.

Chu Xi sneered, and a stream of demonic energy was released, and the room in front of him disappeared along with the people in it.

It returned to whiteness again.

Is that all you have?

Chu Xi sneered.

But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore. It was still the familiar room.

But this time he sat there with his upper body naked. Standing next to him was Mu Ci, who still had a calm face, but applied the medicine to the wounds on his body gently and carefully.

Chu Xi raised his head and looked carefully, looking into those familiar eyes. When he felt the hidden heartache and pity in those eyes, he was distracted.

The author has something to say: Today is a dizzy day for the second light worker.

Having a cold is still very uncomfortable, my little cuties must keep warm!

And I still want to say more.

My mother has been very caring towards me these past two days. She always reminds me to take my medicine.

I was also very moved, but I just don’t like taking medicine.

Until today, I caught a serious cold and had a constant runny nose and a strong nasal discharge.

My mother came over and I thought she was still expressing her concern as she had said two days ago.

Unexpectedly, she said directly, "I told you to take medicine. I see your cold is serious. Don't pass it on to me. I'm weak recently."

I:???????????

OK, thank you for your concern, I will take the medicine on time. (crying)
