The yandere senior sister pretended to be stupid to trick me, it made me feel numb!

Chapter 994 A Beautiful Woman Who Could Be a Little Trouble

"By the way, Brother Zhao, Senior Sister Yan, this Chiwen White Ball Tiger is just an ordinary demon beast. Without a great opportunity, it's at most a seventh-tier level. Is this kind of demon beast worth your effort?"

Wu Zixu initially thought the two had obtained some extraordinary ancient species.

When they arrived, they found it was just an ordinary tiger-type monster.

Among ordinary demonic beasts, the Chiwen White Ball Tiger is considered relatively high-ranking, but compared to the demonic beast royal family, the demonic beast emperor family, and the demonic beast imperial family, it is simply not worthy of carrying their shoes, not to mention the rare ancient variant.

“We have a deep connection with this big cat, let’s take it back.”

"Fine!"

Wu Zixu didn't ask any more questions. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, he left with the white tiger with the owl-shaped ornament.

after all......

He's being irresponsible if he stays any longer.

Also, he really doesn't want to eat dog food anymore, so he'll run as fast as he can.

Carrying the white tiger with its owl-shaped beak, it immediately ran away without stopping.

After Wu Zixu left, Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue did not go to Jingcheng immediately, but stayed in the cave for one night and set off the next day. For them, one or two days would not make a difference.

Moreover, both of them clearly discovered that this journey had subtly improved their state of mind, something they had been longing for.

The next morning.

The two set off. Because Wanyue City was destroyed, they had to go to Tangshan City to take a teleportation array in order to reach Jingcheng.

These two locations are not close to each other, and it would take at least three days and three nights to get there.

To their surprise, Xiao Lingxi appeared just as they arrived in Tangshan City.

"Have you been with us all this time?"

Zhao Mu looked at the girl with a strange expression. No, she should be called a woman. So many years have passed, and she is now in her early twenties, a stunning beauty.

"No, I just arrived."

Xiao Lingxi shook her head and then stuffed a ball into Zhao Mu's hand. "The old man asked me to give this to you. He said it will be of great use to you."

"what?"

Zhao Mu looked at the all-black metal outer sphere with a suspicious expression.

"How should I know? The old man didn't say anything!"

Xiao Lingxi pouted and said, "Keep it for now, you'll find out later. That old man is so mysterious, he always only says half of what he means, it's so frustrating. I don't know where he picked up that bad habit."

"He probably learned it from Old Man Qi."

Zhao Mu pursed his lips, said nothing more, and put the black metal sphere into his pocket.

"But then again, after so many years of experiencing the mortal world, is it still not over?"

"You have the nerve to say that? You think it's been many years, but think about it carefully, how much of that time were you doing?"

uh~

The thief's rebuttal left him speechless.

It seems so.

First came the Fire God Festival, then we went to Flying Immortal Island, and then to the Cangwu Holy Land.

I'm afraid that during this time, even the petty thief won't be able to secretly follow him.

So, although many years have passed, most of that time has actually been wasted meaninglessly.

"However, following you wasn't entirely fruitless. At least in the Asura Demon Sea, you helped me hunt down..."

The reason why Fuxiu Duanying was able to reach a higher level was entirely due to Zhao Mu's help.

Waiting for that stinky old man to help?

Dream on!

"So what are you doing...?"

"Just follow along like this; there's no need to keep hiding in the shadows."

Before Zhao Mu could finish speaking, Yan Qingyue spoke first.

Before this, she probably wouldn't have wanted to be secretly followed, let alone appear directly as a third wheel.

But things are different now; her time alone with Zhao Mu is practically over.

Because Xiao Lingxi had already appeared in their world since Jingcheng.

So it's fine to let her come along.

What's more, this woman has a master thief behind her.

Zhao Mu had occasionally mentioned to her his ambition to unify the righteous and demonic paths, emphasizing the importance of people.

And this legendary thief....

They are clearly worth courting.

"My older sister is the best!"

After praising her with a smile, Xiao Lingxi said with some surprise, "But sister, I feel like you've become a different person?"

"A minor physical problem has been resolved."

"Oh!"

Xiao Lingxi nodded, not asking further, but stopping there. After all, if the other person wanted to say something, they wouldn't have given such a vague answer, and it would be impolite to ask any more questions.

After entering Tangshan City, the three did not set off immediately.

It's not that I wanted to stay and play, but the teleportation array in this small town is not open every day, but only once every three days.

Unfortunately, the event had just begun the day they arrived.

Although Tangshan City is not large, its permanent population is well over ten million. In addition, it is located on the edge of the Baiyun Mountains, and countless explorers and businessmen come and go, resulting in an extremely large flow of people.

It can be said that Tangshan City is the development model of Changliu Town.

The city stretches for over a hundred miles from east to west. Zhao Mu and Yan Qingyue, accompanied by a little light bulb, strolled around the city. Thanks to the Heavenly Grade Alchemist's Manual, he is now a seventh-grade alchemist.

However, there is still some distance to go before one can even reach the threshold of the eighth rank.

Although he has forged his own path by tempering pills with lightning, alchemists of the seventh rank and above are completely different from those below the seventh rank. They cannot rely solely on accumulated experience; they must explore and progress on their own.

Therefore, if he wants to improve, it's impossible for him to rise directly from an ordinary person to the seventh rank in just a few months, as he did before.

Alchemy!

Only through extensive alchemy practice could he fully master the realm of a seventh-grade alchemist and discover the path to breaking through to the eighth grade.

"Mengluodan, Xianlongdan, Huangmengdan, Tianxidan..."

Hearing Zhao Mu recite the names of the pills, Xiao Lingxi's eyes widened, and she asked in confusion, "No, these are the most difficult seventh-grade pills to refine. You just want to break through to the eighth grade, why bother with these tough nuts?"

"What do you know, you little brat! What I need to do now is to accumulate a lot of experience in refining seventh-grade pills, and then figure out my own path to advancement. The more difficult the seventh-grade pill is to refine, the more it will help me."

"There are differences between seventh-grade alchemists, do you understand?"

Zhao Mu roughly understood why the girl was puzzled. For alchemists who followed the path of their predecessors, advancing to the eighth rank was not actually that difficult. On the contrary, breaking through the bottlenecks left by their predecessors was extremely difficult for them.

It will be very difficult to reach higher levels.

In general, it's difficult to make a hasty decision on which type of alchemist advancement is easier, as the difficulty level varies at each stage.

"Ok?"

As he strolled around, Zhao Mu suddenly frowned slightly and subconsciously looked up.

Several men were rapidly approaching, and the one in the lead was staring at them with eyes that were practically gleaming with greed.

He is a man, and Yan Qingyue is wearing a veil, so it can only be Xiao Lingxi.

"I said, what's the point of being so good-looking!"

"Is it my fault?!"

Xiao Lingxi rolled her eyes, giving him an expression that said, "It's not something I can decide."
