Chapter 12: Nan Gong Bing

  That day, Warlight was just finishing up collecting the fish from the water and had found a sweet coconut shell to use as a pot to cook braised fish. Looking at the silly little Xiao next to her, she couldn't help but think about how surprising these past few days have been. No matter what size beast it was, Xiao could catch them all, and after Warlight cooked them into delicious dishes, they would be gone in the blink of an eye. Luckily, Xiao hunted on its own, if Warlight had to provide for her herself, she would've gone bankrupt! However, there was one advantage - the magical beasts that Xiao caught were all large and difficult to catch but with great flavor, and as her master and chef, Warlight could also benefit from eating some, saving her the time of hunting.

  Smelling the fishy smell, she lightly picked out a small one and gave the rest to the glutton. Although it was small, it still weighed five or six catties. With one hand holding the fish and eating, and the other hand holding the bun, she felt that she should leave as soon as possible, as there wasn't much dry rations left.

  As soon as the fish was placed in front of the gourmet, it saw him eagerly lift his paws.

  "Slow down, I'm not competing with you, be careful of getting burned."

  "Master, it smells so good! It smells so good!" Even if it's scalded to death, it won't affect its speed.

  One person and one beast ate with relishing flavors, the light and crazy ones didn't finish eating, Xiao Piao didn't dislike it at all, and ate it clean. What a thrifty good beast, she couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

  After eating his fill, he extinguished the fire and called out to Xiao Tiāo. Once she had climbed onto his shoulder, Zhàn Lightcrazy set off once more. As for Xiao Tiāo, he had previously discussed with her why she didn't just stay within the Demonic Beast's domain. She said that being outside wouldn't affect her cultivation, and most importantly, there was delicious food to be found outside. Whenever she spotted a demonic beast that caught her eye, her eyes would gleam with golden light, and Zhàn Lightcrazy couldn't help but feel exasperated - this was just how gluttons were trained!

  Sen Hakase was chatting with Xiaomian while walking lazily, the sunlight shining on them, creating an indescribable harmony. Suddenly, both the person and the beast stopped in their tracks, Xiaomian's ears twitched slightly before quickly returning to normal. Sen Hakase, however, remained vigilant, gazing ahead and preparing for defense.

  "Master, don't worry, it's just a six-winged wolf king and some people fighting. Do you want to help? But the wolf meat is not good to eat, it's coarse and hard." The childish voice broadcast the situation in front, saying the last sentence with complaint.

  Zhan Qingkong has always adhered to the principle of "not being concerned with things that don't concern her" and has kept a high profile, but this is the only way she can leave Linzi, so let's see how things go!

  Quietly hiding behind the tree, in front of five people and a wolf were fighting. Among the five people, three men and two women, all with injuries, looked like they couldn't hold on for much longer. And that demonic wolf was full of furious energy, its sturdy body, well-developed limbs, and three pairs of shiny wings on its back flapped continuously, sending out gusts of wind blades, causing the wounds on the five people to bleed even faster, it turned out to be a wind-type demon beast.

  "It's no good, we can't hold on any longer. Song Doudou, you and Nangong Bing hurry up and leave, we'll block it for you, go quickly!" A man shouted loudly, then rushed forward again, his movements provoking the wolf to let out a loud howl.

  A girl named Song Duoduo, with tears all over her face, pale complexion, and disheveled hair, insisted, "Chen Dang, if we leave, let's go together. We can't abandon you."

  But the one called Nangong Bing didn't say anything, she just charged forward again, her spiritual power surging violently. A sword flower flashed by, and the demon wolf's shoulder was injured by her. One of its paws slapped her to the ground. At this time, Zhan Qingcang finally saw the woman's face.

  Memories surged, in a corner of the garden, a group of children were ganging up on a weak little girl, no matter how she begged for mercy, it was useless. Just as she was on her last breath, an older girl stopped this commotion.

  "What's all the commotion about? Don't you have time to study, waiting for me to tell the adults to punish you?" The girl in white clothes spoke coldly, and those children scattered like a swarm of bees.

  The little girl looked at her with hope, but the girl just said coldly: "What are you crying about? It's ugly to death." Then she turned and walked away.

  The girl's eyes dimmed instantly, and she stumbled back to her small hut, leaning against the wall. Just as she was gritting her teeth in pain, the departing girl returned, tossing a bottle of injury medicine into her arms, looking at her tear-stained face with disdain, saying: "Really useless!"

  The girl didn't mind at all, and the departing girl didn't see how much the girl behind her admired, adored, and was grateful for her.

  Since then, the little girl's hut often appeared with some pastries, candies, and of course, band-aids. Even if she didn't see anyone, she knew who sent them. Every time she ate those pastries, a sweet smile would appear on her mouth, and in her heart, she silently called out: Ice Sister.

  Waking up from the memories of the past, Qingkong looked at the white figure lying on the ground with a complex expression in his eyes. Until the wolf demon made its move again, and the girl closed her eyes waiting for death, she didn't hesitate to make a move. Perhaps it was the pain transmitted from her body that made her act, or perhaps it was because she wanted to protect the only sister who was good to Nan Gong Qingkong. In any case, she couldn't just watch her die.

  The demon wolf was grinning, waiting for the moment when its claw would come down and blood and flesh would fly everywhere. But who knew that halfway through, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, grabbed its paw, spun it around in a circle, and then flung it away. As a result, the demon wolf saw flowers and grasses instead. The dazed demon wolf shook its big head, stumbled to its feet, and warily watched the person who had suddenly appeared.

  She helped Nan Gong Bing up, leaning against the tree and sitting down, picking up the sword in her hand, standing proudly in front of the five people. For a moment, the sand flew and the stones walked, the murderous aura between the two sides blew the crowd's robes rustling. At this tense moment, the glutton squatting on the branch of the tree found a refreshing fruit from somewhere, biting into it with a crunch, looking delicious.

  First strike is the strongest, War Light Crazy infused his spiritual power into the sword, and in an instant, a ordinary sword turned into a fiery red blade. Being injured by this sword would be adding insult to injury. With a swift movement, the fiery red sword energy shot towards the Six-Winged Demon Wolf. The wolf dodged awkwardly but was still hit by the sword energy, letting out a mournful howl as it gazed at her with increased ferocity. Its three pairs of wings fluttered, and the wolf took to the skies, sending three wind blades sweeping towards her. Immediately after, its massive body charged forward, causing the surrounding grass to be blown away by the wind blades. War Light Crazy held his sword in front of him, amplifying his fire-based spiritual power to form a fiery red barrier that blocked the incoming wind blades.

  Everyone was on tenterhooks, staring at the spiritual energy formation under her feet. Could a five-star Grand Spiritual Master defeat a King-level demonic beast? If not, they were probably going to meet their maker today.

  When the crimson barrier vanished, Zhan Lightcrazy was nowhere to be seen. The injured five and the six-winged demon wolf in mid-air were all on high alert, the string in the air tightened.

  Suddenly, the wolf machine's alert turned its head, but found that the tiny human who had just injured it had actually jumped onto its back. This was a provocation, and its beastly dignity was being trampled like this?

  With the help of a large tree beside him, War lightly jumped onto the back of the magic wolf. Spiritual power filled his left hand and spiritual power wrapped around the sword in his right hand. Both hands moved simultaneously, one hand breaking off the magic wolf's left wing and the other hand piercing through its right wing with a single stab. Taking advantage of its pained howl, he flipped over and jumped down.

  "Aaaaah~" The demon wolf, its back completely covered in blood, fell from a high place. Its three pairs of wings were now mangled and twisted, hanging limply as it glared at her with fierce eyes.

  They say "strike while the iron is hot", not giving the Magic Wolf any time to react, Warlight unleashed a small-scale Fire Rain, countless fireballs whizzing towards the Magic Wolf. In an instant, a burning smell wafted over, and amidst the flames, the six-winged Magic Wolf rolled around in agony, wailing pitifully. But those fireballs just wouldn't go out, gradually, the sounds grew fainter, until they disappeared.

  Waiting until the Six-Winged Demon Wolf turned to ashes, War Light Crazy patted his dusty collar, turned around and looked at the five injured people. The glutton who was watching the excitement just now jumped onto her shoulder and cleaned its claws.

  "You little scoundrel, why didn't I see you helping me just now?" She said with a tap on its little head.

  "Master, you're really something. That stupid wolf can't beat you." The little head nodded solemnly, indicating that what it said was true.

  The five injured people looked at the six-winged demon wolf that had just been defeated, turning into ashes, and were shocked in their hearts. This is a cross-level battle! The girl in front of her was obviously not very old, but she had killed a king-level demon beast with ease, without even using any effort, and now she was standing there calmly, discussing with her pet, while the pet was fawning on her.

  Chen Dang, who had finally calmed down, stepped forward to express his gratitude. "Your Excellency, thank you so much! I owe you a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid."

  Zhan Qing nodded slightly, she understood that "阁下" was a term of respect for someone who had encountered a stronger person. Now that she had saved them, this "阁下" was well-deserved.

  The other four people also stood up, supporting each other.

  "In the lower Ma, like a dragon."

  "Under the willow tree, a life is born."

  Song Duoduo.

  "Nángōng Bīng."

  "Thank you for saving my life."

  "Well, how did you encounter it?" We're almost at the edge of the Azure Forest, how can we still encounter a Six-Winged Demon Wolf?

  "Your Excellency, we five are students of Yunshu Academy. This time, we came to the Blue Forest on a mission. Originally, after completing our mission, we were also preparing to return, but unexpectedly this six-winged demon wolf went mad and chased us relentlessly. If it weren't for Your Excellency passing by, I'm afraid we would have died here."

  Zhan Light nodded slightly, indicating understanding, "You guys deal with your wounds first, the smell of blood will attract other magical beasts."

  "Yes, sir." A man named Chen Dong went to check on the others, two women bandaged each other's wounds, and the other two men also cleaned their injuries.

  "What brings you to this Blue Spirit Forest?" Chen Dong asked while bandaging his wound, after all, the girl was not very old and although she was very powerful, it was still too dangerous for her to be here alone.

  "Go to Yunshu College."

  "Yunshu Academy? So, you're one of the students recruited this time. Great, great! We were just about to head back too. Why don't you come with us?" No wonder! To get to Yunshu Academy, one must pass through the Blue Pine Forest.

  "Ah." These few wounded soldiers and crippled generals still made her worry whether she could safely return to the academy.

  "Look at me, I've forgotten something important, and I haven't even asked for your esteemed name?"

  "The battle is over, let's gather our things and leave, it's getting dark and dangerous."

  "Alright, alright." A few people treated their wounds and rested for a while before supporting each other and heading towards the edge of the forest. Only Nangong Bing looked at her in surprise when she heard the name, then fell silent again.
