The silver wolf was of the wind attribute, extremely fast, and rich in combat experience. They were at a stalemate after dozens of rounds of fighting, and no one could overpower the other.
After a while, the beast and human stopped their showdown.
“Tie!” Leng Ruoxue said.
“You won!” the silver wolf king said.
The woman and beast spoke almost simultaneously. But the silver wolf king knew that he had actually lost because Leng Ruoxue had not infused spiritual power into her sword moves. If she had infused spiritual power, he would have been seriously injured even if he did not die.
“Wow, Beloved Master, you are great!” The transformed Darling rushed into Leng Ruoxue’s arms and kissed the beautiful face of his favorite master, taking advantage of her in the meantime.
Leng Ruoxue glanced at Darling and touched his head. She was now a bit accustomed to Darling taking advantage of her.
“Master, there are sounds of fighting in front!” Charm reminded her.
“Where?” Leng Ruoxue had been staying in the silver wolf tribe’s territory for quite some time. But she had gathered almost all the herbs she could in the silver wolf tribe’s territory, so she planned to go farther today.
“It doesn’t sound too far away. Shall we take a look?” Charm asked.
“Let’s go!” Leng Ruoxue said. She could learn from watching others’ battles sometimes.
“What a huge snake…” Before getting close, Leng Ruoxue saw a dull-yellow snake about one hundred meters long and ten meters thick.?Is this an… earth python?
The earth python was an earth-attribute spirit beast that was good at defense and had very tough skin, but its meat was very tender. It was a rare delicacy. This earth python was a level three holy beast, and its strength was around that of an intermediate Spiritual Sovereign. Its thick skin coupled with its defenses would give even a level nine holy beast a tough time when facing it.
Leng Ruoxue slowly approached and saw the situation in front of her clearly. The thick body of the earth python was curling around a man. Although the man was already entangled by the earth python and was almost choking to death, the short sword in his hand still kept piercing the earth python’s body. It was obvious that the man was persevering with sheer willpower. If he wasn’t strong enough, he would have become the python’s food.
Not far away from them, there was a black leopard covered in blood and wounds. It was a shadow leopard, a level nine spirit beast. It had the attributes of darkness and wind, which was very rare, allowing it to be good at stealth and be fast. It was obviously about to perish but still jumped onto the python to attack it with its sharp claws. But such attacks were just like tickles to the python. It was clearly a one-sided battle.
“Shadow, quickly run away. Leave me!” shouted the man, who was about to be suffocated by the earth python.
“Master, I won’t go. I have to save you!” that black leopard named Shadow said stubbornly.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the interaction between them, and she couldn’t help feeling a little moved. She might have been born cold-blooded. She was not a saint, nor did she want to be a saint. She wasn’t meddlesome and hated trouble, especially in this dangerous forest where there were deaths every day. Since you were taking risks, you had to be prepared for death. Furthermore, the law of nature was the law of the jungle. Therefore, she did not intend to save them at first, but now she wanted to save them. It was undeniable that it was the strong bond between the master and the beast that had moved her. She herself was someone who loved spirit beasts, so for the sake of the strong bond between them, she couldn’t watch them die in front of her.
Thinking of this, Leng Ruoxue shot powerful fire-attribute spiritual power at the earth python like a bolt of lightning, directly hitting its vital spot and killing it with a single blow. After she cultivated the Heaven Defying Art, the effects of her heavenly spiritual skills had increased several times. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to kill the earth python, which was known for its defense, in one attack just now.
“Shadow, wake up! Don’t leave me!” The man, who just escaped from the python, knelt on the ground and hugged the unconscious black leopard while weeping bitterly.
Leng Ruoxue sighed.?Alright, I will do good to the end.?She took out a pill and stuffed it into the black leopard’s mouth.
It did not take long for the unconscious and wounded black leopard to wake up.
“Master!” The black panther looked at its master, who was already safe, and licked his face happily.
“Shadow, you’re alright. Great!” The man looked at Shadow excitedly. Although there were bloodstains on its body, its injuries were all healed.
At this moment, he remembered he hadn’t thanked their savior yet and felt that he was being a little rude. “Thank you for saving me and Shadow. My life is yours from now on!”
The man raised his head to see his savior. He was stunned into a trance momentarily, thinking that a beautiful and noble goddess had saved him. But he quickly returned to his senses and looked seriously at the beautiful woman in front of him, unable to look away.
“What would I want your life for?” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently, her beautiful eyes looking at the man in front of her. He was very young, at most in his early twenties, with good features, resolute and clean-cut. Although he was not very handsome, he was very masculine, and his temperament was outstanding. His cultivation level was not very high and only at Great Spiritualist.
“I can do anything as long as you ask me to,” that man said resolutely.
“Really? Even if I ask you to murder, set fires, rob houses, and other things against your conscience?” Leng Ruoxue deliberately asked. She could see that this man was a firm and upright person. This person could become a trustworthy partner who would not betray her. However, she wanted to know how far he would go and whether or not he was qualified to be her partner. She did not want someone pedantic who was not pragmatic and flexible to be her partner.
“Yes, I will do anything you ask of me even if it goes against my conscience.” He had almost died once and was only alive now thanks to her life-saving grace. Not only did she save him, but she also saved his best partner, so he had to repay this favor.
“What is your name?” Leng Ruoxue asked.
“Feng Moran.”
