268: evil

It was Su Luoluo's first time sitting on Xi Yi's back. Usually, he looked slender and lean, making her often forget his true form as a Black Bear, but sitting on him now, she realized he was exceptionally large.

His Black Bear fur was thick and dense; it was actually quite comfortable to sit on, and her bottom didn't bounce at all.

Because of his broad and thick frame, she didn't slide around as she often did on Mo Xuan's back. Holding onto his neck, Su Luoluo felt much more relaxed.

Xi Yi usually seemed quite unreliable and liked to stir up trouble, but it had to be said that he was actually quite dependable and steady when it came to getting things done.

Even though she hadn't given him any specific instructions, he ran very steadily.

The system said he had a way to solve things, but Su Luoluo still had some doubts. How could such a normally carefree person accomplish anything?

While Su Luoluo was lost in thought, Xi Yi had unknowingly arrived at Fengqi Mountain.

Looking at the vast expanse of Fengqi Mountain before him, Xi Yi stopped and asked, "We've reached Fengqi Mountain. Which way do we go?"

Su Luoluo didn't know either, so she called out to the system, "System, where are Fu Feng and the others?"

The system's mechanical voice came from the side, "Go east, pass through..."

Before it could finish, a sharp cry of anger was heard: "Take it away! I don't want this bug, it's filthy."

Hearing the voice, Xi Yi didn't ask for Su Luoluo's opinion and headed straight toward it.

Before Su Luoluo and the system could finish their conversation, they saw Gu Wanyi holding a bug and trying to persuade Fu Feng to take it.

Fu Feng only took one look before turning his head and waving it away.

Meanwhile, Hua Jinxin was coaxing Fu Feng from the side, "Brother Feng, didn't we agree that we were going to be together? If you take this bug, we can be together forever."

"No, how could you give me such a disgusting thing?"

Seeing this scene, Su Luoluo was instantly speechless.

She had rushed all the way from the Wolf Tribe in a panic, thinking Fu Feng had been taken hostage and plotted against by the Mother and daughter, but it was just this?

She shot the system a glare: "This is what you called an emergency?"

The system sounded a bit embarrassed: "This... I didn't know Fu Feng's mysophobia was so severe."

Fine, this system was still as unreliable as ever.

It seemed it was still the same old familiar formula.

At this moment, Su Luoluo finally believed that the previous system had truly returned.

Gu Wanyi looked at the person before her who was so utterly repulsed by the bug, feeling a headache coming on.

For a beastman, why was he so fussy?

It was just a bug, wasn't it?

Was there really a need to be so disgusted?

She glanced at her daughter and grumbled, "Why do you like someone with such a cleanliness obsession?"

"Mother, isn't it good that Brother Fu Feng likes to be clean? It's better than a sloppy Rhino Beastman."

This love-struck girl... forget it.

Gu Wanyi looked up at the sky. The moon had already moved to the west; any later and it would be dawn. The Soul-Herding Grass could only last for a few hours and wouldn't hold up during the day.

Since he wouldn't cooperate despite her kind words, she couldn't be blamed for taking action. With a wave of her hand, she moved to smear the bug onto Fu Feng's neck.

Suddenly, a water column shot out, hitting Gu Wanyi's hand with a "splash" and knocking the item out of her grasp.

Seeing the item fall, Gu Wanyi's eyes sharpened as she glared in the direction of the water column, then threw a fireball. "Which overconfident fool dares to ruin my plans?"

Seeing the Gu bug knocked away, Su Luoluo used a water column to block and sneered, "Your great-grandmother is here! I advise you not to try and steal my Beast Husband!"

Gu Wanyi's fireball was not weak. Although Su Luoluo used a water column, she was still somewhat outmatched.

After a brief block, she quickly hid behind Xi Yi and shouted, "Xi Yi, save me!"

Hearing this, Xi Yi instantly transformed his fur into a barrage of black needles. The two forces met in mid-air and exploded into a ball of burning needles.

After a standard exchange that ended in a draw, Su Luoluo pouted from behind him after seeing Xi Yi's move.

So this was what the system meant by Xi Yi having a way.

She had trusted the system too much, thinking Xi Yi was very capable, but it turned out to be just this?

Fortunately, Xi Yi's strength was decent; otherwise, her reckless move just now might have turned her into dust.

This feeling of being weak really was unpleasant.

It was a pity that Dongfang Luanhe's crystal stones wouldn't arrive for another half a month; otherwise, she would have been able to start cultivating long ago.

"A mere Black Bear Beastman dares to take my Flame Palm? You have some guts, but unfortunately, you'll lose your life here today." Gu Wanyi took a step back.

She gestured toward the sky, drawing a layer of golden light before hurling it at Xi Yi. "Golden Fire Ball, Destroy!"

The golden light illuminated the dark surroundings, casting a golden glow on everyone's faces.

Su Luoluo was about to pull Xi Yi away to run, but unexpectedly, the light didn't fall; it flickered for a moment and then went out.

Xi Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Wanyi with a half-smile. "It seems you won't be able to kill me today. The fire's gone out."

Gu Wanyi's face turned pale with anger. She tried to draw the fire from the sky again, but the fireball still extinguished halfway.

Her face was filled with shock, finding it unbelievable.

She looked suspiciously at the man opposite her, but he hadn't moved at all.

How could this be?

Her Netherworld Fire couldn't possibly fail to deal with a mere Rank Seven beastman.

Refusing to give up, she circulated her energy again, but the fireball still went out in mid-air.

Su Luoluo was amazed by this. "Xi Yi, when did you become so powerful?"

Xi Yi smirked and pointed to the sky. "It's not that I'm powerful, it's just good luck. The wind is rising."

As he spoke, a gust of wind blew, forcing Gu Wanyi back a few steps.

This is so strange, she's falling back just like that?

Su Luoluo was filled with doubt.

When Hua Jinxin saw Xi Yi and Su Luoluo, her face immediately filled with rage. "It's you two! You actually have the nerve to come here."

"Mother, don't worry. Trash like this doesn't require your help; I can handle them alone."

She had seriously injured this Black Bear last time; what did he have to be so arrogant about?

After speaking, her fingers danced as she quickly condensed a fireball to throw, but she was pulled back by Gu Wanyi. They took a step back and then vanished in a flash of light.

"Mother, what are you doing? I haven't even cast my spell yet!"

"Wait, this person is a bit strange."

"But Brother Feng is still there. We were so close to succeeding."

"As long as the green mountains remain, there's no need to worry about firewood. We'll try again next time!"

Su Luoluo had indeed been preparing to dodge, but she hadn't expected the two of them to just up and leave like that.

She said in surprise, "The two of them just left?"

Xi Yi gave her a slight side-eye. "Otherwise? Did you want them to keep hitting you?"

"No, but they just fled like that?" Su Luoluo found it strange no matter how she thought about it. She looked Xi Yi up and down. "Honestly, did you do something? Otherwise, why would those two retreat so suddenly?"

Xi Yi shrugged. "I'm right here beside you. Whatever I did, couldn't you see it?"

Despite his words, Su Luoluo still felt something wasn't quite right.

While she was doubting him, Xi Yi flicked a leaf in front of Fu Feng's eyes and said teasingly, "Fu Feng, you're way too weak. Even two Females could plot against you."
