“Cunning, lazy, gluttonous, sly!”

Watching Zhou You feast, Li Wanji silently summarized his virtues in her heart.

When it was time to get the pig leg, he didn't get it—that was cunning.

When it was time to cut the pig leg, he didn't cut it—that was lazy.

When it was time to eat the pig leg, he was active—that was gluttonous.

When facing a situation, he claimed to be an elder—that was sly!

If it weren't for him boasting so much that day, she would have really wanted to kick him to death.

“Yin Soul Great Cold Pill, Guanghan Art.”

Li Wanji adjusted her mood, silently noting these two names that were extremely unfamiliar to her.

“Second Master, eat slowly, be careful not to burn yourself.”

Hearing this, another word popped into Li Wanji’s mind—“Fool!”

Thinking that she had actually followed two unreliable people to the wilderness, she couldn't help but give herself a self-assessment—“Stupid!”

One hour later.

Zhou You lay down on the spot. This feeling of being full was truly...

“So delicious!”

Zhou You roared, no longer having to live that miserable life on the mountain.

Zhou Chen beamed with joy. Nothing made a 'cook' happier than such praise.

After lying down for a moment, Zhou You leaped up, “Let’s go, kill Yao Beasts!”

Zhou Chen nodded heavily, “Mm!”

What could Li Wanji say?

In a one-versus-two situation, anything she said was useless!

“Let’s go, I’ll lead the way.”

Li Wanji took a deep breath and walked ahead first. She felt it was time to carefully observe Zhou Chen's strength.

The previous wild boar died too quickly, preventing her from seeing clearly.

She believed this time, she would surely get her wish.

After the battle in the city, Zhou You's confidence greatly increased.

Zhou Chen didn't understand why, but with Second Master here, there was no need to be afraid.

Li Wanji's thoughts...

Unimportant, completely unimportant.

“Over there!”

A moment later, Zhou You first pointed to a patch of woods, which was actually a village.

Li Wanji felt very surprised. They were still three li away, how did he discover it?

Zhou You strode forward. Although he appeared to be walking normally, his upper body was completely still, yet his pace was extremely fast.

“Woof...woo!”

A loud, thunderous dog bark sounded, and a dog-like Yao Beast, as large as an ox with slender legs, appeared. Based on its aura, it could be determined to be a third-grade Yao Beast.

“Not high-tier enough.”

Zhou You looked calm, “Why are they all just pigs and dogs?”

Li Wanji grew more puzzled, “Don’t you know?”

Zhou You was confused, “Know what?”

Li Wanji had no choice but to adjust her mood and explain, “About a hundred years ago, for some unknown reason, wild beasts in the wilderness all transformed into Yao Beasts. Even domesticated cats and dogs began to demonize. From then on, a hundred-year-long Yao disaster began. In later wars, these types of Yao Beasts were the most numerous. They reproduce very quickly and became the shock troops for every Yao Race attack.”

Zhou You suddenly understood, “I thought Yao Beasts were all Dragons, Phoenixes, and the like.”

Li Wanji sighed helplessly, “Those are rare species. Ten years ago, only one ‘Bi Fang’ bird appeared and directly killed over a thousand people. If a Yao Beast Black Dragon or something similar appeared, the harm caused would be unimaginable.”

Zhou You nodded, “Then have you seen one?”

Li Wanji gave a bitter smile, “How could a Spirit Connection Realm like me have seen such transcendent beings? Let alone the Dragon Clan, even the two Peak clans of the dog species are unimaginable. For example, the Sky Dog Clan and the Earth Dog Clan.”

Zhou You couldn't help but look at Zhou Chen, who nodded, “This is common knowledge.”

Common knowledge?

Zhou You's mouth twitched. His Master had not mentioned a single word of this common knowledge.

The large dog barked furiously again. It was extremely angry at being ignored.

“Don't bare your teeth. If you bare your teeth, I'll hit you.”

Zhou You pointed with his Right Hand, “Sit!”

The large dog froze, then its expression turned ferocious, and it rushed over quickly.

Zhou You laughed wryly, “Disobedient, it must not be domesticated.”

Zhou Chen let out a soft cry and charged forward with her sword. After all, she was in the Tuotai Realm and capable of fighting.

Zhou You chose to observe, also wanting to see Zhou Chen's swordplay.

The Cloudsoaring Sword Art was indeed extraordinary, producing sword light like mist when executed.

Li Wanji watched without blinking, wholeheartedly wanting to see Zhou Chen's specific strength.

Perhaps due to her experiences during this period, Zhou Chen, putting aside other things, was very steady in her Heart-Nature. Facing the raging large dog, she seemed fearless, advancing and retreating in an orderly fashion. Coupled with her Medium Grade treasured sword, she was fighting back and forth quite well.

“That's strange.”

Li Wanji was somewhat puzzled, thinking to herself, “She killed the Blood Shadow Wolf so cleanly before, why has she suddenly become so soft and weak?”

Compared to Li Wanji's slight disappointment, Zhou Chen was fighting with increasing vigor.

She found that after taking the Gold and Silver Spirit Profound Pill and the Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill, her perception and reactions were much faster. If it had been before, facing such a Yao Beast, she would have only been fit to be a side dish.

Zhou You walked past the large dog, “Don't hurt yourself, I'll go in and take a look.”

Zhou Chen didn't have time to respond, she just nodded and continued to swing her sword and fight.

Zhou You entered the densely wooded village. Everywhere his gaze fell, courtyard walls had collapsed. In some corners and in the grass, he could see some gnawed bone fragments. Canine Yao Beasts particularly liked to gnaw bones to eat the marrow within.

After circling around, Zhou You entered a larger courtyard that appeared more intact.

He just wanted to see the specific devastation caused by the Yao disaster.

The courtyard gate was wide open. Upon entering the main hall, a low growl came from the side room.

Zhou You entered it. A large white dog lay on the bed, and beside its head was a half-eaten girl, her eyes wide open, her face still showing the pain from before death.

The large white dog let out a low growl at Zhou You, baring its teeth in a threat.

Beneath it, a litter of puppies, eight in total, were squirming.

Zhou You walked to the bed. The large white dog raised its head and barked.

Slap!

Zhou You slapped it, making the large white dog yelp and pull its head back.

“Do you have fire?”

Zhou You calmly asked, “I want to give you a cremation.”

The large white dog watched Zhou You warily.

Zhou You frowned slightly. He grabbed the fur on the large white dog's head with his Right Hand and slapped it with his Left Hand, making the dog's nose bleed. “I'm talking to you, don't you understand?”

The large white dog whimpered, raising its head to bite.

Boom!

Zhou You flicked his Right Hand, throwing the large white dog onto the ground.

The large white dog stumbled to its feet, baring its teeth.

Zhou You turned around, “Do you have fire?”

The large white dog growled, leaping forward.

Bang!

The large white dog fell to the ground, then Zhou You stomped it into the floor. “You are very disrespectful to me, and that doesn't make me very happy.”

The large white dog propped itself up with its front paws, its body twisting violently, and a black pattern like a centipede appeared in its white fur.
