Chapter 31

Moonlight Sect suffered another severe beating because of Ye Qiao. Song Hansheng assessed the strength of both sides, then formed a formation on the spot to keep the pack of mad dogs at bay.

“Hand over the crystals quickly,” the scattered cultivators outside continued to clamour, “Yun Que, if you have the guts to take the crystals, have the guts to break the barrier!”

“Make Yun Que hand over the crystals!”

Song Hansheng, sweating and silently cursing, wondered, “What exactly did Yun Que take from them?”

It’s not uncommon for people to kill and rob in secret realms, and Song Hansheng approved of such behavior. However, that didn’t mean he was happy about getting beaten up. Couldn’t Yun Que be a bit smarter? Did she have to make such a big fuss?

In the original story, Song Hansheng had feelings of admiration and love for Yun Que. However, due to Ye Qiao’s continuous actions, that budding affection was brutally snuffed out before it could grow.

At this moment, Song Hansheng didn’t feel any admiration; he wished he could drag Yun Que to a Dan cultivator to have her brain examined.

Meanwhile, Yun Que, who inexplicably bore the blame, was heading towards her destination with the disciples of the Wenjian Sect.

Everything was going fine until Yun Que sat down and was unexpectedly entangled by a small beast.

The beast had yellow feathers, two ears, and a tail that was particularly cute.

Yun Que, who had a weakness for cute things, immediately ignored Ye Qinghan’s objections and made a contract with the little beast.

Ye Qinghan sighed, somewhat helplessly, “Little sister Yun, if it’s just an ordinary demon beast, then this contract is equivalent to signing a deal with a mascot.”

He liked this innocent and gentle girl, but sometimes her naivety could be quite a headache.

Yun Que was unconcerned, “It’s okay, Senior Brother. I signed a master-servant contract. If it’s useless, we can just kill it.”

These words made the little beast’s eyes widen.

It seemed surprised that such a vicious human existed in the world.

Ye Qinghan rubbed her head helplessly and said nothing.

The treasure-seeking beast immediately became listless.

It knew that humans were no good.

Fearing that this human would truly treat it as an ordinary demon beast and kill it, the treasure-seeking beast quickly bit Yun Que’s clothes, gesturing for her to follow it and making sounds to indicate it was useful.

Yun Que’s eyes flickered, and she immediately followed.

Under the guidance of this little beast, they found many rare spiritual plants and fruits in the secret realm. After signing the contract, the master and servant could communicate telepathically.

The treasure-seeking beast raised its head, indicating it knew a place where fire elemental ore was hidden.

Thanks to this little beast, Yun Que had obtained many valuable items. Hearing this, her eyes lit up, and she unhesitatingly shared this news with the disciples of the Wenjian Sect.

Initially, the Wenjian Sect disciples had opinions about their senior brother bringing along such a burden, but after the spirit beast found numerous valuable items, they gradually accepted her. Hearing about the fire elemental crystals, everyone became excited.

“Then what are we waiting for? Little sister Yun, have your spirit beast lead the way.”

Within a few short hours, their attitude changed from disdain to affectionately calling her Little sister Yun.

Yun Que’s eyes curved in pleasure at their adoration. She nodded softly, “No problem.”

They hurried along and finally reached the destination indicated by the treasure-seeking beast.

However, they were a step too late; when they arrived, there was nothing left.

“……”

The scene was quiet for a moment. Yun Que looked at the empty place, recalling her confident words earlier. Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she unconsciously squeezed the treasure-seeking beast in her hand. Shocked, she couldn’t control her strength, “Where’s the ore?”

The girl’s sharp nails dug into the small beast’s flesh, causing it to scream. Unable to endure any longer, it bit Yunque’s hand and ran away.

Given the situation, if Ye Qiao had been present, she would likely have sarcastically remarked, “Your treasure-seeking beast doesn’t want you anymore.”
