Little Junior Sister, We Can’t Handle This Grind Anymore - Chapter 103

A faint smile touched Qi’s lips, his crimson lips strikingly beautiful. “Ground from the bones of a fierce beast.”

The hand Feng Qingran used to hold the chess piece trembled. “And this tea?”

“This is brewed from powder made of a fierce beast’s inner core. It would have been beneficial for you, Miss Feng. A pity you didn’t like it.” Qi’s tone was full of regret.

An inner core of a fierce beast!!!

To use such a heaven-defying object just for brewing tea was nothing short of a horrific waste!

In the world of cultivation, even the inner core of a high-level magical beast could stir up a bloody storm, let alone that of a fierce beast.

The value of a single fierce beast’s inner core far surpassed that of a Heavenly Origin Fruit.

Feng Qingran quickly pulled her thoughts back. To hide her fear, she remarked offhandedly, “Well, this cup is quite nice.”

“That one is even harder to make. It requires the skull of a special type of fierce beast.”

Feng Qingran’s eyes widened. Catching sight of Qi’s hair ribbon which looked somewhat familiar, she complimented, “Your hair ribbon is quite lovely.”

“That’s dragon tendon. By the time it was extracted, the dragon was long dead, so it’s a bit stiff. But it’s sturdy enough.” Qi spoke casually, as if it were a trivial matter.

Feng Qingran: !!!

You even kill dragons?

Wait, that’s not right!

All those fishing nets of mine are made of similar material… Could it be that they are all…

Dragon tendons?

Feng Qingran’s mind drifted far away again.

“Miss Feng, don’t you want to know what I used to water the flowers?” Qi observed the changes in Feng Qingran’s expression, gradually understanding a bit more about why Mo Jinghong had chosen her.

“What did you use?” Feng Qingran hadn’t yet recovered from the shock about the dragon tendons.

Qi placed a chess piece, the corner of his lips curving upwards. “Just watered with blood, that’s all. It’s just that the blood of fierce beasts isn’t like human blood. The blood of fierce beasts is entirely turbid and foul. Using it to water flowers and trees only makes them bloom in gaudy colors.”

“If it were human blood, it would surely grow white or pink flowers. The younger the source, the more pure and flawless the resulting blossoms would be.”

Feng Qingran could sense the regret in Qi’s voice, along with a certain excitement.

At that moment—

Feng Qingran remembered the meaningful look in Mo Jinghong’s eyes when she left…

So, Seventh Senior Brother knew everything all along?

He was just waiting for her to jump right into this pit!

With a trembling hand, Feng Qingran placed a chess piece, offering an awkward explanation, “I… have this condition where my hands tremble whenever I play chess. Please forgive me.”

Feng Qingran couldn’t describe her current state of mind. The place she was in was filled with the remains of fierce beasts.

She even suspected that the courtyard itself was built from the skeletons of fierce beasts…

How could she dare stay in a place like this?

——————

Not far from the courtyard.

A group of ferocious-looking beasts pricked up their ears, sneaking peeks at the courtyard with furtive glances.

Of course, they couldn’t hear anything clearly.

Zhu Yan flicked its tail and asked, “Boss, it’s already night and Feng Qingran still hasn’t come out. Do you think the Great Demon King might have finished her off?”

Ying Zhao shook its head. “There’s no commotion inside. It doesn’t seem like it. At the very least, people scream when they die…”

The Nine-Headed Bird grew impatient. “That little girl has rotten luck too, daring to provoke Qi. Now all our plans are ruined!”

“I’ve never tasted such a tender little girl. If Qi really kills her, I might still get a meal of fresh meat…” The Six-Armed Ape said excitedly.

Qiong Qi stared intently at the courtyard gate.

Qiong Qi didn’t believe for a second that Qi would kill Feng Qingran. Acting against a mere girl wasn’t Qi’s style.

What Qiong Qi hoped for was that Qi would drive her out, so it could kill her itself!

“Hey! Qiong Qi, why aren’t you saying anything? This isn’t like you,” Tao Tie licked its fur and asked curiously.

Ever since leaving the Labyrinth Illusion, Tao Tie had developed a habit of constantly licking its fur.

“Scram! Don’t bother me. I’m fuming here!” Qiong Qi growled fiercely. This Tao Tie was becoming more and more like a dog.

“Qiong Qi, I think you should just give up. You won’t get a chance to kill Feng Qingran. Ying Zhao and the others seem determined to protect her now,” Tao Wu advised.

Tao Wu was the beast least inclined to see Feng Qingran die.

Feng Qingran’s performance within the illusion had convinced Tao Wu even more that she was the one who could change the landscape of the Ten Directions Domain.

“Hmph! Feng Qingran must die! Qiong Qi and I will absolutely not let her leave the Ten Directions Domain alive!” Hun Dun said venomously.

Inside the illusion, Feng Qingran had come perilously close to injuring its soul.

Fierce beasts are born with indestructible, immortal souls.

Once a soul is damaged, it means it can no longer achieve true immortality.

Tao Wu and Tao Tie exchanged a glance. From the looks of it, these two were prepared to make enemies of all the fierce beasts in the Ten Directions Domain?

They needed to do something to make Qiong Qi and Hun Dun hate Feng Qingran even more.

As long as Qiong Qi and Hun Dun kept acting recklessly, they were bound to meet their end sooner or later.

Hiding behind the others, the black winged dragon watched the beasts. “Old Huang, they weren’t like this before. How come they’ve split into two factions now?”

“There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests,” Old Huang said with an air of profound mystery.

“Old Huang, which side do we take?” The black winged dragon wavered uncertainly.

In the past, when the beasts fought, they had to pick a side, or else they’d get beaten up.

“This time, we don’t side with either. We side with Feng Qingran.” Old Huang had seen the situation clearly. They were only slightly stronger than the Nether Python.

Whichever side they chose, they were bound to be doomed.

Might as well side with Feng Qingran. After all, anyone who could brave the Labyrinth Illusion was definitely not simple.

Old Huang decided to gamble!

“Old Huang, wouldn’t that make us traitors?” The black winged dragon didn’t understand. They were part of the beast clan. Why side with a cultivator?

Whack!

Old Huang smacked the black winged dragon on the head with its paw, its voice turning sinister. “What traitors! This is called a wise choice. Just wait and consider yourself lucky.”

The black winged dragon felt wronged, but didn’t dare to argue.

Achoo!—

Da Feng suddenly let out a sneeze.

All the beasts turned to look.

Fierce beasts were born strong and healthy, never falling ill, completely unbothered by heat or cold.

This was the first time any of them had ever seen a fierce beast sneeze!
