“Crunch, crunch…”
The giant Blood Shadow Wolf chewed on the man, and soon only a head rolled on the ground.
In another direction, there was a young man, his face ashen, his body trembling like a sieve, clearly scared out of his wits, standing Silly on the spot.
Zhou Chen’s face turned pale with fright, her eyes filled with terror.
She had heard many stories about Yao Beasts, but Clear Peace City was not considered to be in the outer regions, and today was her first time seeing one.
Zhou You got out of the carriage and quietly watched the giant Blood Shadow Wolf.
He wondered if it was due to the influence of his Master, that old geezer, but he found it very difficult to feel fear. Or perhaps, as his Master said, it was because he already possessed a Sword Heart?
The giant Blood Shadow Wolf turned its head to look at the young man, then looked back at Zhou You, saliva mixed with blood flowing all over the ground.
In its perception, Zhou You clearly tasted better.
He smelled fragrant, with a hint of mutton’s gamey scent.
The giant Blood Shadow Wolf faced Zhou You, greed emerging in its crimson eyes. The Yao Beast’s intuition made it realize that this person’s Bloodline was pure, his flesh delicious, a qualitative change formed by countless Medicinal Pills piled together.
This man…
was no longer a human.
But a treasure Medicinal Pill!
If it ate him in one bite, it would definitely save itself a hundred years of arduous cultivation.
“Second Master…”
Zhou Chen’s red lips lost their color, that fierce aura penetrating directly into her soul, startling her to the point of being distraught, yet where did she find the courage to face it?
The young man seemed to finally react, shouting sharply, “Run, this is a third-grade Yao Beast, the Blood Shadow Wolf!”
Before he finished speaking, the Blood Shadow Wolf let out a roar, leaping up, leaving behind an afterimage, and swiftly pounced towards Zhou You.
At that instant, sword light seemed to flash, stirring up a storm.
Zhou You raised his Right Hand, grabbing the pouncing wolf head, his body unmoving.
Having practiced sword pulling for ninety-nine years, his Right Arm was already astonishingly strong.
The lower half of the Blood Shadow Wolf fell to the ground, its internal organs spilling out, a pungent smell of blood permeating the air.
Zhou You looked at the wolf head, thoughtfully examining it with a serious expression, then his Left Hand pinched his fingers and pointed at the Blood Shadow Wolf’s head, which was not completely dead, and a wisp of Qi flew out and was absorbed by him.
“What a pity, it’s not a sixth-grade one.”
Zhou You felt a little regretful; a sixth-grade Yao Beast contained a Yao Core, which could not only refine blood but also play a role in refining bones and tempering tendons and skin.
He recalled that almost every year, he would consume one.
Zhou Chen’s eyes shone, as if looking at a Heavenly God.
He was so elegant and handsome, his expression unchanged even when mountains collapsed before him, and every time he acted, it was like a dream.
Even though they had only met for less than a day, she felt an overwhelming sense of security.
It seemed that as long as she was by this man’s side, there was no danger whatsoever.
It was just a pity…
He was her Second Master!
Bang!
Zhou You threw down the wolf head; he had only absorbed a wisp of essence blood from within the wolf head, hoping to make his blood glow golden sooner.
Now that he had left his Master, many things would depend on himself.
The young man shook his head, trying hard to stay awake.
He hadn’t seen that man make a move at all!
Could it be that girl? She feigned terror, but in reality, she was an extraordinary Master?
Otherwise, how could she have cut down a third-grade Yao Beast, the Blood Shadow Wolf, with one sword strike?
“Thank you, Miss, for saving my life.”
The young man reacted, taking three steps at a time, “I, Lu Renjia, will never forget this kindness.”
Zhou Chen was startled and quickly said, “N-nothing, I actually didn’t do anything.”
Just as she was about to explain, Zhou You said, “Can you cook?”
Both of them were stunned; what did he mean by that?
Zhou You pointed at the Blood Shadow Wolf, “The wolf leg must be delicious.”
He was hungry again.
Now, he was eating vengefully, wanting to taste all the good things he hadn’t eaten in the past hundred years.
Zhou Chen quickly said, “I’ll get it ready now.”
Lu Renjia was displeased, thinking to himself that this handsome Young Master was truly arrogant and overbearing; others were responsible for killing the wolf, but he was responsible for eating it. “Miss, wait a moment, I know a little about grilling, so let me do it.”
Zhou You didn’t care about that and sat directly on the carriage shaft, silently looking up at the sky.
He was thinking about his future cultivation path; perhaps hunting Yao Beasts was a good choice?
As for joining a School or anything like that, he didn’t have that idea.
The restrictions of a School were too great, and he was naturally fond of freedom…
But if it was for Cultivation Techniques, perhaps he could still consider it.
Zhou You pondered to himself again, how refreshing it would be to fly around in the sky? Look at himself, he still had to ride in a carriage, it was really too low-class.
A moment later, Lu Renjia, with a bitter expression, used his sword to cut the wolf leg.
Half an hour later, Lu Renjia, covered in sweat, used his sword to cut the wolf leg.
The third-grade Blood Shadow Wolf’s fur was tough and could not be broken by ordinary weapons.
At this moment, Zhou You had already leaned against the carriage and fallen asleep.
When night fell and the air was filled with the aroma of meat, Zhou You yawned and woke up.
“Second Master, you’re awake?”
Zhou Chen excitedly trotted over.
Hearing this, Lu Renjia felt very displeased in his heart, indeed a spoiled rich kid, but this address was strange, either Young Master, or Young Lord, what the hell was Second Master?
“Is it grilled?”
Zhou You was more concerned about this matter.
Lu Renjia stood up, “It’s ready to eat, it’s just too hot right now…”
Before he finished speaking, Zhou You had already run over, grabbed a wolf leg, and began to devour it.
Lu Renjia frowned, “Miss, why are you doing this?”
Zhou Chen was puzzled, “What?”
Lu Renjia said in a deep voice, “Miss, you are exceptionally capable, yet you humble yourself to serve such a person, don’t you feel it’s a waste of your talent?”
He stubbornly believed that at the very least, Zhou Chen had the urge to draw her sword, while Zhou You had no reaction at all, which proved that Zhou Chen must have been the one who made the move.
Zhou Chen became even more confused, “No, I don’t feel that way. I think being able to serve Second Master is a very fortunate thing.”
Lu Renjia’s brows furrowed tightly, and he lowered his voice, “To be honest, I am a Disciple of the Yaoguang Sect, three hundred li from here. If Miss is willing, I would be willing to introduce you. With your strength, you could definitely become a Guest Elder.”
While Zhou You was sleeping, Lu Renjia, after some conversation, naturally understood Zhou Chen’s situation; she was merely a member of a mundane Family. But considering her young age and such cultivation, she must be an extraordinary talent.
Zhou Chen was shocked, “Brother Lu is actually a Disciple of the Yaoguang Sect? My apologies, my apologies.”
Hearing this, Lu Renjia immediately felt much more confident, and he couldn’t help but straighten his back quite a bit. When traveling outside, the invisible support of a School could not be ignored.
At this moment, Zhou You walked back with a wolf leg, his face full of shame.
Zhou Chen giggled and went up to him, “Second Master, is it not delicious?”
Zhou You looked at the wolf leg, then at the sky, “Alas, between visiting my parents and the wolf leg, I actually chose the wolf leg. I am truly an unfilial son.”
Zhou Chen laughed so hard she couldn’t close her mouth, “Then let’s go quickly.”
As Zhou You entered the carriage, Lu Renjia looked around at the night, and his heart was secretly filled with lingering fear; the scene of his Senior Brother being eaten seemed to still be flickering before his eyes.
To survive tonight, he would probably need to hitch a ride and seek the protection of this girl.
“Zhou Guniang.”
Lu Renjia hesitated, “May I travel with you?”
Zhou Chen glanced into the carriage, saw Zhou You continuing to gnaw on the wolf leg, and smiled, “Of course, the place we’re going isn’t far.”
