Jiang Bingbing knew this was a cultivation world where the strong preyed on the weak.
Even though she had mentally prepared herself countless times.
She was still nauseated by the bloody scene she had just witnessed.
Leaning against a tree trunk to rest, her little face was deathly pale.
Fen Jue calmly joked, “Tsk, you threw up more than the blood they sprayed.”
Though he said that.
In his heart, he actually thought more highly of Jiang Bingbing. Just now, Fen Jue had almost couldn’t help but step in to help her.
He hadn’t expected the little one to be so quick-witted in a crisis.
Quite clever.
“……” Jiang Bingbing fished out a sugar bean from her pouch and popped it into her mouth. “I’m hungry.”
Fen Jue: “?”
Jiang Bingbing shyly rubbed her nose. “I threw up all the food I ate.”
“You’re something else.”
Fen Jue truly couldn’t understand this little liar.
Clearly scared to death, yet still thinking about eating.
Jiang Bingbing broke off a piece of mung bean cake. The mung bean cake was dry and tasteless, making it unappealing to eat.
She suddenly missed the chicken noodle soup her second senior brother used to make.
Steaming hot chicken noodle soup.
Warming both the stomach and the heart.
…
After eating, she regained her spirits.
Jiang Bingbing: “Let’s go, let’s go!”
Because the Blood Spider had been here.
The low-level monster beasts along the way had all been scared off.
Estimating they had walked another kilometer inward, Jiang Bingbing heard the sounds of monster beasts moving.
She carefully hid behind a clump of grass, lay flat on the ground, stuck her butt up, and peeked toward the source of the sound.
“!!!”
There were exactly two monster beasts.
One had dark golden fur all over its body, while the other had an ox head and a horse body. Although these two monster beasts weren’t as massive as the Blood Spider, they still looked about two meters tall.
Jiang Bingbing pulled out a handful of Five Thunder Talismans.
Ready to blast them directly.
Fen Jue: “Wait.”
“What’s wrong, what’s wrong?” She stopped her movement and asked in confusion, “Is there danger?”
“Not exactly,” Fen Jue suggested calmly. “Why not take this opportunity to practice your skills with these two monster beasts?”
“Hmm—”
“That’s a good suggestion.”
“However, this leader does not accept it!”
After saying that, her short legs dashed forward, and she threw out over a dozen Five Thunder Talismans at once.
The two monster beasts were blasted into a daze.
They died on the spot.
Fen Jue: “..”
“Hehe, it was a bit more troublesome than expected, but overall, it went pretty smoothly~”
Jiang Bingbing took out a collection bag from her Storage Bag and, as if handling treasures, carefully extracted and preserved the blood of the two monster beasts.
“Hmm—”
She turned to stare at the monster beast corpses on the ground.
“Senior Fen Jue, you said last time that one of these two types of monster beasts has tougher meat?”
“Golden Beast meat is sour and foul, Ox-Horse Beast meat is tougher. Neither can be used as ingredients. Dig out the Crystal Cores from their heads and leave the rest here.”
“Ooh~”
Jiang Bingbing answered quickly and dug out the Crystal Cores just as fast.
But after digging out the Crystal Cores, she kept smiling and staring at the Ox-Horse Beast corpse, her eyes full of little schemes.
“Let’s head back to the sect first.” Fen Jue urged. The Monster Beast Mountain Range wasn’t a safe place.
“Okay!”
Jiang Bingbing agreed verbally.
Then she took out an extra-large collection bag from her Storage Bag, retrieved the black iron sword her eldest senior sister had given her, and with swift movements, evenly cut the monster beast meat on the ground into small pieces.
“What do you want this awful stuff for?” Fen Jue asked, puzzled.
Jiang Bingbing: “Hehehe, I remembered something delicious. I want to try making it with this.”
“Harvest is plentiful, time to go home!”
What delicious thing could be made from an Ox-Horse Beast?
This little liar was full of mysteries.
Fen Jue closed his eyes and remained silent.
On the way back, Jiang Bingbing stopped by Peach Blossom Town to buy talisman paper and a Talisman Brush.
She then treated herself to a big meal at the Gathering Immortals Pavilion.
By the time she neared the Sword Sect, it was already late at night.
The sect’s mountain-protecting formation was fully activated.
Several groups of Sword Sect disciples flew out from within.
All of these disciples were at the Golden Core stage or above.
“What’s going on?”
Jiang Bingbing craned her neck to look.
Fen Jue’s tone in her Consciousness Sea was unusually serious. “Hurry back to Jade Immortal Peak. The mountain-protecting formation is activated—this isn’t something a mere Qi Refining stage nobody like you should get involved in.”
No one cherished their life more than Jiang Bingbing.
Before Fen Jue even finished speaking, she hopped onto Little Hamburger and “whooshed” straight toward Jade Immortal Peak.
Fen Jue: “…”
As soon as Jiang Bingbing landed, she saw Wen Yuzhao and Xie Yingnan, both ready to depart.
“Senior Brother!”
Wen Yuzhao patted her head. “Little Bing, go back to your room and stay inside. Don’t come out.”
“Senior Brother, what happened? I saw many senior brothers and sisters carrying their swords out.”
Wen Yuzhao looked troubled. “Taixuan Zhenren from Heavenly Secrets Peak has been captured by the Demon Sect Saintess. The sect master has ordered the peak masters to lead their disciples out, determined to rescue Elder Tai Xuan.”
Huh?
That handsome uncle who looks just like Master was captured?
“Is the Demon Sect Saintess pretty?” Jiang Bingbing asked.
Wen Yuzhao felt a line of sweat forming at the back of his head. Considering his junior sister’s three-year-old level of intelligence, he couldn’t really scold her, so he gently pushed her back. “Junior Sister, go back and rest. Don’t come out.”
Xie Yingnan, however, grinned mischievously and said, “Naturally, she’s peerlessly beautiful.”
Jiang Bingbing scoffed. “Have you seen her?”
The other paused almost imperceptibly.
“No, but I’ve heard about her.”
Xie Yingnan was also annoyed by Jiang Bingbing’s chattering. “Hurry back. Girls who stay up late turn ugly.”
With that, he followed Wen Yuzhao and vanished into the distance via Sword Flight.
The next day.
Jiang Bingbing learned from her second senior brother.
The Sword Sect had dispatched experts who pursued them for a day and a night.
They finally caught up with the Demon Sect Saintess and Taixuan Zhenren in the Purple Forest Mountain Range. Taixuan Zhenren had asked Uncle Zhuge to relay a message back.
The gist of it was: he intended to follow the Demon Sect Saintess to clarify a certain matter.
Once this matter was resolved, he would naturally return to the sect.
As for what that matter was.
None of the Sword Sect peak masters knew, let alone bystanders like them.
After finishing the gossip.
Jiang Bingbing took out a piece of Ox-Horse Beast meat from her Storage Bag and handed Wen Yuzhao a secret recipe.
“Senior Brother, Bingbing wants to eat this! Can you make it for me following this recipe, please~” Jiang Bingbing blinked her big eyes, looking pitiful.
“Alright, leave it to your senior brother!”
Wen Yuzhao knew his junior sister loved to eat, so he sprang into action immediately, full of motivation.
Jiang Bingbing gave his efficiency a big thumbs-up in her heart.
If she had been this diligent at work back then, she would’ve been earning over ten thousand a month long ago.
After entrusting Wen Yuzhao with the task.
She went to the main hall to visit Immortal Lord Qingxue. By noon, Jiang Bingbing finally returned to her own small courtyard.
She took out the blood of the Golden Beast and the Ox-Horse Beast.
Laid out the talisman paper.
And began quietly working on her big project!
Jiang Bingbing sat at her desk for six hours and finally drew two talismans.
She was thrilled. “Mission accomplished!”
“Soon, money will come pouring in from all directions! Mansions and luxury cars are no longer a dream! Cackle cackle~”
Fen Jue was now used to Jiang Bingbing’s occasional bouts of madness.
He couldn’t even be bothered to open his eyes.
“My waist is so sore!” Jiang Bingbing stretched her neck, twisted her waist, and was about to go out for a stroll.
Wen Yuzhao pushed the door open with a smile.
“Junior Sister, I’ve made the jerky you wanted.”
“So fast? That needs to be air-dried for a long time!”
“What’s so difficult about that? Your Third Senior Brother has a wind spirit root. I had him blow on it for a full three hours.”
“Wha—? Hahahahaha…”
Jiang Bingbing laughed until tears streamed down her face.
She couldn’t even imagine that scene.
Hua Kongque with a sour face, blowing on beef jerky.
Too hilarious!
“Junior Sister, why did you use Ox-Horse Beast meat for this? Ox-Horse Beast meat is very tough.”
Wen Yuzhao handed Jiang Bingbing a food box.
She took it, eagerly opened it, and her eyes lit up when she saw the beef jerky on the plate.
This was exactly the Shangri-La Beef Jerky she wanted!
“Let me try!”
Jiang Bingbing picked up a piece and tossed it into her mouth.
“Hmm?”
“Second Senior Brother, this Ox-Horse Beast meat (chew chew chew) you know, it really is (chew chew chew) hard to bite (chew chew chew) but it’s really (chew chew chew) delicious…”
