The bear charged towards her before she caught her breath, she countered the charge using her hands, but soon she tasted the blood in her mouth.
But that didnât stop Murong Qingyan, she turned her wrist and grabbed the sword, with that she thrust it into the bearâs neck â the soft spot on its body â in full strength. Then she leaped forward for about five meters away from the bear.
She instilled Earth Ore in Dark Power on the sword, it thrust deep enough to kill the bear, soon blood spurted out from the wound. With that the bear collapsed on the ground and died.
Murong Qingyan heaved a sigh of relief seeing the bear slumped down. She looked like a drowned mouse at the moment, she was covered in mud and blood from the battle just now, she spat a mouthful of blood, but she smiled, she won the battle.
Huangfu Jue was so proud of this little girl, so brave, smart and resourceful! She could finish the battle within minutes when she was just a cultivator in Heartbeat Level, her achievements would only be beyond measure after she got the right education.
Murong Qingyan didnât frown when Huangfu Jue didnât lend her a hand in the battle, she wasnât counting on him in the first place. She was actually very happy that Huangfu Jue chose to sit back and watch, that was some great experience, she learned so much from the battle.
Murong Qingyan sat in meditation, regulating her breaths for a while. Then she rose to her feet and walked to the bear, she skinned the bear using the sword thrust on its neck, she got the core of the bear!
Murong Qingyan had encountered a lot of Demonic Beasts in the forest, she battled with them, and she had made great advancement in cultivation as she fought the beasts, she had already made the second phase in Heartbeat Level. She was happy about this rate of progress herself.
Huangfu Jue would lend her a hand when the beasts were indeed out of Murong Qingyanâs league, Murong Qingyan appreciated Huangfu Jueâs help.
Murong Qingyan had fought a lot of monsters in the past half month, she was basically in rags due to the fierce battles. Huangfu Jue on the other hand still looked so regal in his black robe. That made Murong Qingyan a bit jealous, how come this man manage to look this good all the time!
This day, Murong Qingyan made a fire to roast some meat after she killed another beast, usually she would stopped diet in practising qigong to maintain physical strength when she was out travelling, but she was hungry after so many fierce fights.
Huangfu Jue sat by her quietly, he didnât bother her by asking any question.
Sometimes Murong Qingyan would like the find out why this man kept following her and kept helping her out, she was so grateful that he was in her presence for he had saved her life in the forest from the beasts for yet another several times.
Murong Qingyan felt some fluctuation in space when she was thinking about Huangfu Jue, Murong Qingyan was wild with joy, it must be â
Xiao Bai!
âMaster!â a white ball of fur threw itself at Murong Qingyan.
âXiao Bai, you are awake! Finally!â Murong Qingyan exclaimed in excitement.
âMaster, Iâm so sorry that Iâve made you worried for me.â Xiao Bai lowered its head and apologized, âThis is all my fault, I was too gluttonous about that Rain Pearl⌠âŚâ
âHaha, itâs all right. We are lucky itâs not poisonous, you know that Xiao Bai?â Murong Qingyan rubbed Xiao Baiâs belly, âHow did you feel after you ate the Rain Pearl?â
With that Murong Qingyan held Xiao Bai in her hand and checked Xiao Bai, to her surprise, Xiao Baiâs pupils became blue!
âXiao Bai! What happened to your eyes!â
âMy eyes? What about my eyes? Anyways, thatâs not important now.â Xiao Bai jumped up and down, âI have to say Rain Pearl is such a treasure, it has awakens my memory, I will tell you everything in the near future!â
âBut, master, where are we now? We havenât been here, have we?â Xiao Bai looked around, it had just realized they werenât in Murong Qingyanâs room in Murong Family.
Xiao Bai became alerted when it saw Huangfu Jue who was sitting by Murong Qingyan, âMaster, what⌠what is this man doing here? What is he doing with you? Are you all right, master?â
âYou are so loud, you fur ball!â Huangfu Jue said that with indifference.
Xiao Bai stopped, it dared not to make any more sound, it even began to breathe gently, no way would it want to ruffle Huangfu Jueâs features for it had seen how powerful this man was before it fell asleep.
Xiao Bai averted its gaze the second it met the manâs eyes. His eyes were so emotionless and intimidating, Xiao Bai was scared.
âWhat has happened between master and this man? Where are we? Why master allows this man to sit next to her? Are they⌠are they friends now? I donât think so, this man still looks so cold. What exactly has happened when I was asleep? Wait, how long have I been sleeping for? Isnât it a month? Why does it feel like as long as one hundred years?â Xiao Bai was dying to find all the answers.
