"No, this feeling..."

Suddenly, the angel felt a sense of clarity, and she immediately sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state.

A moment later, she suddenly opened her eyes. Her divine power had not increased, but her aura had become increasingly ethereal and otherworldly.

"How could comprehend this law have become so easy..."

The angel looked suspicious. Her strength hadn't improved in so many years, so why were strange things happening so frequently today?

Is it all because of this demonic dragon?

Wait, if everything just now was real, then she...

The angel's expression changed slightly, and he clutched his lower abdomen.

"not good!"

She immediately tore off her clothes, hurriedly got up, and rushed into the bathtub.

In the sunset forest, Qian Renxue's eyelashes trembled slightly as she gradually awoke.

"Is my sister awake?"

Tang Yuehua was carefully wiping Qian Renxue's cheeks with a damp towel before she woke up.

"Hiss... Sister Yuehua, what's wrong with me...?"

Qian Renxue's whole body ached, and she had great difficulty even raising her arms.

"I never expected that you, my sister, who seems shy, are actually so crazy. This is the first time I've ever seen Xiao Linxu like this."

Tang Yuehua whispered in Qian Renxue's ear, her eyes full of admiration.

"what?"

Qian Renxue's face turned bright red, and there was a faint steam rising from the top of her head. She subconsciously looked at Xiao Lin, who was lying down to rest with a pale face, and couldn't help but wonder if she had become that strong.

Driven by a strange sense of vanity, she didn't deny it. Perhaps she had gone too far yesterday and didn't remember much. However, the aches and pains all over her body proved that she had exhausted all her strength yesterday.

"My dear sister, could you teach me a few tricks?"

Tang Yuehua's eyes were sincere; she was genuinely curious about what methods could have been used to turn Xiao Lin into that state.

"Well... I don't have much to teach you, maybe it's just talent."

Qian Renxue looked embarrassed. What could she possibly teach others? She had learned several of the moves from Tang Yuehua just yesterday. She never expected that Madam Yue, who appeared dignified and elegant on the surface, was actually more uninhibited than anyone else behind the scenes.

"Alright, if my sister doesn't want to talk about it, I'll just observe next time."

Tang Yuehua chuckled. She held grudges; she hadn't settled the score for being ambushed yet.

[Personal Target (Qian Renxue) Progress: 69%]

While Xiao Lin was asleep, the mission progress bar had already reached thirty percent.

The dragon cores of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King swirled within his body, their gentle energy replenishing his weakened form.

A few days later, the four of them arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest by carriage.

"Xiao Lin, what kind of spirit beast should I choose for my first spirit ring?"

Tang Yuehua, dressed in a blue outfit, looked curiously at the various spirit beasts that appeared from time to time in the forest.

"After your martial soul mutated, it became more control-oriented. You can find some soul beasts with strong control abilities first."

Xiao Lin spread his divine sense outwards, completely ignoring thousand-year-level soul beasts. With Tang Yuehua's current body, she could completely withstand a ten-thousand-year-level soul ring.

"Sister Yuehua, I think we should find a fox, the fatter the better."

Qian Renxue came closer and said with a smile.

"You little rascal, Xue'er, are you making fun of me?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua blushed slightly, and couldn't help but recall the fluffy fox tail from last night. She then raised her hand and patted Qian Renxue's plump buttocks.

"Hey Xiao Lin, you'd better keep an eye on Sister Yuehua, she's becoming less and less like a lady!"

Qian Renxue had been infiltrating the Tiandou Empire for many years and had never been as happy as she was now. She hid beside Xiao Lin, escaping Tang Yuehua's pursuit.

"Great, you've learned to call for reinforcements!"

The two chased and played around, which Xiao Lin found pleasing to the eye. Ning Rongrong, who was behind him, was also full of envy. Then she looked at Xiao Lin with hatred, thinking that it was all his fault for destroying her home!

The four of them strolled around the Star Dou Great Forest as if on a picnic. With Xiao Lin protecting them, the high-level soul beasts avoided them like the plague and dared not approach.

"Haha... See that, Sister Yuehua? You still need to practice your archery more!"

Qian Renxue looked at the nine-headed green lion that had been shot, and felt a surge of pride.

"Tch, watch me."

Tang Yuehua was full of resentment. She drew her bow and shot an arrow at a human-faced demon spider.

On the spiderweb, the human-faced spider, unaware of the arrows coming, was munching on its prey when suddenly a flash of cold light appeared and struck its food with pinpoint accuracy. Startled, the spider's fur stood on end, and it nervously looked around, as if to see who was trying to steal its food. Then, it bent its eight legs and sprang backward.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!"

Qian Renxue couldn't stop smiling. How could her archery skills compare to hers?

"..."

Tang Yuehua's face gradually flushed; if she couldn't hit the target, it must be a problem with the arrow!

She angrily threw down her bow and arrows, dragged her only gain of the morning—the little pink pig with ten years of cultivation—to find Xiao Lin.

"Here, take that hundred-year-old blood ginseng deer with you, and release the rest."

Qian Renxue glanced at Ning Rongrong beside her, then picked up the bow and arrows and tossed them to her before chasing after Tang Yuehua.

"Oh, you're back?"

Inside the camp, Xiao Lin was eating wild fruit, with a fire burning in front of him and a pot of fragrant meat soup simmering inside.

"How was the harvest?"

"Not bad, I caught quite a few soul beasts, but I released them all."

Qian Renxue reported her results with a smile.

"snort."

Tang Yuehua snorted coldly, threw the little pink pig aside, and sat down next to Xiao Lin angrily to eat wild fruit.

"Hmm, this pig looks familiar..."

"What, you know him?"

Tang Yuehua glanced at the little pink pig; she thought the pig wasn't very smart.

"It seems familiar."

The image of that pink hairdryer involuntarily popped into Xiao Lin's mind—it looked remarkably similar!

"Want to bake it?"

Qian Renxue's eyes brightened slightly, and she unconsciously swallowed.

"Hmm, this pig is sturdy."

Tang Yuehua nodded slightly, but wondered if it would be too dry. After all, it was a suckling pig, so it should be quite tender.

"No, it can't be eaten."

Xiao Lin thought it was better not to eat it, as he felt that eating it would make people less intelligent.

After all, he had seen Tang Yuehua's archery skills before; they were extremely sloppy. The fact that she managed to catch this pig showed how low her intelligence was.

"Hmm, what a pity. Shall we eat this deer then?"

Qian Renxue pointed to Ning Rongrong behind her. She was dragging a blood ginseng deer and limping towards them. Her skirt was covered with hoof prints, and it was unknown how many times she had been kicked along the way.

"You seem quite energetic, don't you think?"

Xiao Lin glanced at Tang Yuehua, who was standing to the side. Tang Yuehua, the head housekeeper, was clearly not in high spirits.

"Alright, I'd like to see what this Blood Ginseng Deer tastes like."

Tang Yuehua puffed out her cheeks and took a big bite of the wild fruit.

"Did you hear me? Get him cleaned and dressed, and go roast the venison for my sister Yuehua!"

Qian Renxue ordered Ning Rongrong, "Even this little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is no good; she can't even subdue such a small deer."

"Hmm!"

Ning Rongrong's face darkened slightly. Just as she was about to drag the blood ginseng deer to wash it clean, she suddenly froze on the spot.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you going?"

Qian Renxue frowned slightly. Had Ning Rongrong gone mad?

"It...it peed all over me!"

Ning Rongrong's voice trembled, and her face visibly darkened.

"puff……"

Tang Yuehua couldn't help but laugh out loud at Ning Rongrong's soaking wet maid outfit.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Qian Renxue laughed even louder; she really hadn't expected Ning Rongrong to be so stupid.

"That makes it much easier to get rid of, doesn't it?"

Xiao Lin was speechless. He severed the throat of the Blood Ginseng Deer with a single strike from a distance and patiently explained.

"This...that's right, it's much easier to handle."

Ning Rongrong felt deeply humiliated by the deer blood splattered all over her face. How could she not have forgotten that she should have delivered the fatal blow to this soul beast!

"Go quickly."

Xiao Lin said impatiently.

"Never mind her, here, have a glass of water."

Tang Yuehua felt much better and handed a glass of water to Xiao Lin and Qian Renxue each.

"Thank you, Sister Yuehua."

Qian Renxue sat obediently beside Tang Yuehua, secretly thinking that Ning Rongrong's clumsy performance had made Sister Yuehua feel much better.

"I'm not that petty. You win this morning, how about we have a fishing contest this afternoon?"

Tang Yuehua suddenly said that she had seen a stream earlier that was perfect for fishing.

"Okay, Sister Yuehua, I'm a fishing expert."

"Hmph, I'm not bragging, but fishing is one of my strengths."

Tang Yuehua raised her red lips slightly. She was not good at archery, but she was a first-rate expert at fishing.

"Fishing? Want me to join?"

Xiao Lin came over; fishing was also one of his hobbies.

"Alright, let's have a competition among the three of us. Whoever catches the most fish will get to serve the other two tonight. Remember, the two who lose must obey the winner unconditionally tonight."

Tang Yuehua's eyes darted around, and she said to the two of them with a smile.

"agree!"

Xiao Lin and Qian Renxue had no objection to this, and were secretly fantasizing about how to deal with the other two that night.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Tang Yuehua felt that victory was within her grasp, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up.

After the four of them had lunch, it was afternoon.

"Ning Rongrong, you do the counting."

"Yes."

Ning Rongrong bit her pink lips. These three guys were leisurely fishing while she had to stand by and keep an eye on the fish basket to count the fish. She was really sleepy, especially at night. These three guys were up until midnight. How could she possibly sleep?

She was constantly being bossed around by the three men, feeling completely disoriented. How could she possibly stand it?

The three men sat not far apart, each on a rock, fishing.

Soon, Qian Renxue's fishing hook started to move.

"Good luck."

Tang Yuehua was not in a hurry and waited quietly for the fish to take the bait.

With his extensive fishing experience, Xiao Lin sat in an excellent spot to fish.

Time passed slowly, and the sky was painted with the colors of sunset. Tang Yuehua and Qian Renxue had more and more fish in their fish baskets, but Xiao Lin had none.

"How could this happen?"

Xiao Lin frowned. This shouldn't be happening. He's pretty good at fishing and has a lot of luck, so why aren't the fish biting?

"Damn it, we're losing."

Qian Renxue was also a little anxious. The fish on Tang Yuehua's side seemed to be under a spell, biting the hook one after another. How could she keep up?

Fortunately, Xiao Lin was there to fall back on. Speaking of which, that guy was really unlucky; none of them took the bait.

Xiao Lin's fishing skills were naturally good, but unfortunately, he was now in the body of a demonic dragon, and even soul beasts were afraid when they got close to him. The fish in the water were no exception. No matter how good his skills were, he could not hide his terrifying dragon breath.

"No, Sister Yuehua, you're cheating!"

Qian Renxue was anxious. Why did the fish suddenly burst out of the water and run to Tang Yuehua's legs?

"this……"

As a seasoned angler, Xiao Lin had also become a fraud. He couldn't catch a single fish all afternoon, while the fish swam away on their own. Who could accept that?

"Come on, calm down, it's just personal charm."

Tang Yuehua maintained her composure, with several fish baskets already placed around her. Even Ning Rongrong behind her was dumbfounded. Was she really not cheating?
