Translator: 549690339
At this moment, Ouyang Shuanger was gasping for breath, her complexion pale, and she appeared extremely panicked.
Upon seeing the dark lump in her arms, a surge of rage suddenly flared up in Li Xiaobai’s heart.
“Who did this?”
“What exactly happened to you?”
“Where is Ergouzi?”
Seeing Li Xiaobai, Ouyang Shuanger cried out as if she had seen a savior, bursting into tears with a wail.
“Ergouzi was captured by a master from Fire Qilin Cave. They said Ergouzi is a Qilin Divine Beast and even wanted to kill me to silence me. Ji Wuqing saved me, but it…”
“I really don’t know anything, I was inexplicably targeted by a master, and Fire Qilin Cave is a top force; if they want to kill me, not even my imperial father can save me!”
She was just a twenty-year-old girl, with a low cultivation level and a limited social circle; she had never experienced such life-and-death struggles like today.
Most importantly, she hadn’t done anything, and was clueless about the situation, yet inexplicably, she had been targeted by one of the top forces on the Mainland.
The outside world was truly too terrifying!
Li Xiaobai’s heart burned with fury. One should consider the owner before beating a dog, and these people from Fire Qilin Cave were so arrogant as to capture a dog directly, their actions were just too overbearing.
He had heard of Fire Qilin Cave; it was a Central Province force that even the straw-cloaked evil cultivator feared, considered one of the top sects.
The elder leading the team to capture Ergouzi was a Transcendance Tribulation Stage master, and even if he rushed there now, he might not be able to successfully rescue Ergouzi.
According to what Ouyang Shuanger said, the other party needed Ergouzi for a selection among Divine Beasts, so it seemed unlikely any major harm would come to him in the short term.
He would first raise his defensive power before heading to Central Province to find Ergouzi.
Hmm, decision made!
“Miss Shuanger, don’t be sad and upset, it’s all over now. You didn’t come away from this with nothing; I’ve gathered all the herbs for you from the field. If you refine them all, your strength will definitely soar rapidly.”
“I’ll give you a 10% discount.”
Li Xiaobai said.
“But Young Master Li, your Demonic Beast also died…”
Ouyang Shuanger was a bit hesitant to look at Li Xiaobai. Although she was an innocent victim, no matter how it was put, Ji Wuqing had died while trying to save her.
“That, well, if it’s dead, it’s dead. No big deal. Get in the car, let’s go to where the treasure has emerged.”
Li Xiaobai said cheerfully.
The Pudong Rooster’s special characteristic was that the more times it died, the stronger it would become, reviving on the spot with full health after an hour.
A hint of confusion flashed in Ouyang Shuanger’s eyes. It seemed that Ji Wuqing must have been a partner to Li Xiaobai, with a good relationship, so why was Li Xiaobai acting so indifferent and casual now?
Indeed, the world of the powerful is cold and heartless.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Ouyang Shuanger was downcast. This trip had turned out quite differently from what she had imagined.
Li Xiaobai casually switched on the vehicle’s music, and soothing, melodious music slowly filled the air, significantly lightening the mood inside the car.
“Giggle, scared the living daylights out of me!”
“Kid, get me a stick of Huazi!—”
The little grass chicken in Ouyang Shuanger’s arms suddenly sprang three feet into the air.
It shook off the charred shell on its body, regaining its usual lively appearance.
“Ah, you…”
Ouyang Shuanger was startled. Wasn’t Ji Wuqing already dead? How did he come back to life?
“The noble self is the undying Phoenix, isn’t resurrecting perfectly normal?”
“Little girl, don’t make a fuss. But finding Li Xiaobai was beyond my expectations. Quite impressive!”
“Kid, your new mount isn’t bad, huh? Since that truck got taken by Fire Qilin Cave, it’s about time for a replacement.”
After his resurrection, Ji Wuqing kept talking non-stop as if possessed by a chatterbox spirit.
“So, what was the cultivation level of the person who killed you?”
Li Xiaobai asked, casually offering him a Huazi.
Ji Wuqing needed a Huazi to calm his nerves after coming back to life.
“So-so. I could just blow him away into chaff.”
Ji Wuqing took a small puff of the Huazi, exhaled a smoke ring, and said indifferently.
Li Xiaobai, with black lines all over his forehead, said, “Speak human language…”
“Giggle, he had the cultivation level of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, a master from Fire Qilin Cave with Qilin Bloodline in him and serving under him were all Fire Qilin Primordial Spirits. He wasn’t much to look at, I just didn’t want to stoop to their level, that’s all,” Ji Wuqing said, glancing sidelong at Ouyang Shuanger.
Ouyang Shuanger was completely dumbfounded. The world seemed crazy to her—resurrections seemed like nonsense, yet they happened. She witnessed more incredible things today than in her entire life before, which made the past two hours more exciting and stimulating.
Her vision went dark, and she fainted.
Li Xiaobai shook his head. This woman still lacked training to be scared to pieces by such a small matter.
However, he hadn’t gotten his hands on the Spirit Stones yet, so he couldn’t let her go.
“She’s fainted. You can tell the truth now,” Li Xiaobai reminded him.
“Dammit, a bunch of old immortals actually dare to kill me? One day, I will flatten that damn Fire Qilin Cave!”
Ji Wuqing, unable to contain the rage he had been holding back, erupted like a volcano. Being a Phoenix with noble blood, he couldn’t stand being killed by some lowly cultivators.
“Kid, when are we going to strike back?”
“There’s no rush. Ergouzi is not in immediate danger. Awakening his bloodline and increasing his strength might not be such a bad thing. First, I need to enhance my own strength. Then I can go to Central Province to find Ergouzi,” Li Xiaobai said, taking a drag of his Huazi.
“By the way, since that girl declared who she was to those people, Fire Qilin Cave might cause trouble for Zhenyuan Country,” Ji Wuqing said.
“The cultivators of Zhenyuan Country are all too arrogant, full of scholarly airs. It might do them good to be taught a lesson. Let’s get our hands on the Spirit Stones first. If Fire Qilin Cave dares to venture into the Northern Region, let’s ambush them.”
“Hehe, I understand…”
…
Two hours later, in the passenger seat, Ouyang Shuanger slowly woke up.
Seeing Ji Wuqing still lively and kicking in front of her, she realized it wasn’t a dream—the little rooster really did come back to life.
The reality was right in front of her, she had no choice but to believe it.
It seemed everything connected to Li Xiaobai was out of the ordinary. Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing were like that, and now the new mount she rode on was similarly exceptional.
The vehicle slowed down, approaching the edge of a jungle.
In front of them was an open field, desolate, with no grass or leaves, only a lonely straw hut sitting quietly there.
The dazzling golden beam pierced the sky from this straw hut. Without a doubt, a treasure lay inside it.
Just as Li Xiaobai was about to drive towards it, Ji Wuqing suddenly stretched out a claw and held onto the steering wheel.
“Giggle, kid, something’s off about this place. Let’s not go over just yet!”
