She Ying gently stroked the black fox’s new fur and said, “I discovered that the little fox’s heart had recovered the day before yesterday. When I accompanied him to sleep last night, I sensed a weak spiritual energy fluctuation beside me. I took a closer look and realized that a second Monster Core had appeared in the little fox’s body.”
The smooth fox fur slid away from She Ying’s slender fingertips. The slightly frivolous and charming smile that Yu Huang was familiar with appeared on She Ying’s face again. She tilted her head and said to Yu Huang, “I’ll continue to keep his spiritual power. I’ll hand that Prime Master Monster Core to you.”
With that said, She Ying took out one of the high-level Spiritual Energy Replacement Bottles and handed it to Yu Huang. “The situation is unstable now. It’s inevitable that you, a Master, will encounter danger when you walk outside. Keep this thing. When you really reach a desperate situation, it can protect you.”
“Take it as a gift from the little fox.”
Hearing She Ying’s words, Yu Huang put away the bottle.
“By the way.” Yu Huang recalled what the Pixiu Demon had said outside the cave. She asked She Ying, “Who is the Lord that the Pixiu Demon mentioned?” What did the Pixiu Demon mean by that?
She Ying didn’t seem to want to answer this question. She changed the topic and said, “Recently, although the number of Beast Tamers hunting demon beasts has decreased, there are still Beast Tamers secretly hunting demon beasts in the periphery. Ah Huang, when you go back, remember to tell the old dean to take this matter seriously. If Beast Tamers continue to hunt our kind, a disaster will definitely happen.”
The grudge between Beast Tamers and demon beasts had been there for a long time. Although She Ying used to hate those Beast Tamers, her attitude wasn’t as tough as it was now. Yu Huang said thoughtfully, “Godmother, has something big happened in the demon beast race recently?”
She Ying still refused to reply to Yu Huang and only said, “In short, the demon beasts have been a little restless recently. If the Beast Tamers dare to offend them, they will definitely suffer.”
“I understand.”
Yu Huang chatted with She Ying for a while more before leaving with Sheng Xiao. Before they left, She Ying gave them a pair of fang pendants. She said, “This fang pendant has my aura on it. If you bring it into the abyss, you won’t be attacked by those demon beasts.”
“Thank you, Godmother.”
The two of them hung the fang pendant on the belt of their pants and left together.
Yu Huang was about to fly back when Sheng Xiao said, “The Blood Goat Milk Fruit in the abyss should be ripe this season. Do you want to eat it?”
“Blood Goat Milk Fruit?” Yu Huang had never eaten it before. She asked Sheng Xiao, “Is it tasty?”
“I ate it once when I was young.” After a pause, Sheng Xiao said, “My mother brought it back for me.” Sheng Xiao’s mother was a divine demon. Sheng Xiao’s soul was unstable when he was young. Lan Yao would occasionally go deep into the primitive forest to dig some immortal grass to repair his soul.
Sheng Xiao had eaten the Blood Goat Milk Fruit twice, but he didn’t receive such treatment after his soul stabilized.
“Speaking of which, Yang Yang has never eaten this fruit before. We can pick some fruits and send them to the Divine Realm Academy.” Sheng Xiao looked at the time and said, “It’s six o’clock now. Let’s try to get back to the academy tomorrow morning.” They had no mission tonight.
“Okay.”
The sky would only darken at eight o’clock in the abyss. Sheng Xiao pulled Yu Huang and ran under the dusk, attracting the attention of many demon beasts. The demon beasts smelled She Ying’s domineering aura on them and didn’t take the initiative to provoke them.
“It’s right in front!”
Sheng Xiao smelled the Blood Goat Milk Fruit.
The two of them passed through a huge thorny forest and arrived at a forest spring. They saw a sky full of Blood Goat Milk Fruits. These fruits grew on a kind of thorny vine that grew along a towering ancient tree. The Blood Goat Milk Fruit’s appearance was crystal clear, and its skin was thin and watery. Under the setting sun, one could see the meridians in the flesh through the thin skin.
The Blood Goat Milk Fruit was reflected in the spring, and the spring water was blood red.
Yu Huang threw a stone into the spring. She saw some fanged demon beast fish swarming out of the spring and biting the stone into pieces in the blink of an eye. She raised her eyebrows and said to Sheng Xiao, “Let’s be careful. Don’t fall into the spring and become fish fodder.”
“Don’t worry.”
Sheng Xiao flew up and pulled out the Dragon Sword. He slashed at the vines a few times. The Blood Goat Milk Fruits hanging on the vines fell one after another. Yu Huang used her psychic power to weave a net to catch them. The net opened and caught all the goat milk fruits. In the spring, the ugly fish opened their mouths and waited for them to fall into their mouths.
