“Leng Ruoxue.”

“Leng Ruoxue?” Feng Moran couldn’t help being a little surprised.

“What?” Leng Ruoxue asked when she saw his surprised expression.

“Nothing. I also know someone named Leng Ruoxue,” Feng Moran quickly explained.

“Is the Leng Ruoxue you know a simpleton?” Leng Ruoxue asked in realization.?Has my reputation already spread to the Illusionary Forest?

“How do you know?” Feng Moran asked strangely.

“I used to be that simpleton,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly.

“…”

Feng Moran was speechless. It was too much of a coincidence, and he couldn’t help feeling a little skeptical.?Didn’t everyone say that Leng Ruoxue is a simpleton? But this woman seems to be pretty smart. What simpleton can kill a holy beast? If there’s really such a simpleton, then I would rather be a simpleton.

“Are you really that Leng Ruoxue?” Feng Moran asked with uncertainty.

“Could there be another Leng Ruoxue in this world?” Leng Ruoxue asked in return.

“Do you know Leng Ruoxue?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously. Am I really that famous?

“I don’t know her, but I’ve heard of her,” Feng Moran explained.

Seems like I’m really famous!?Leng Ruoxue felt a little depressed.

“You don’t have to be sad. My reputation isn’t so good either.” Feng Moran couldn’t help but want to comfort her after seeing how she suddenly turned silent.

Sad? Do I look sad? Why is his reputation not good??Leng Ruoxue looked at him curiously.

“I’m the trash eldest son of the Feng family,” Feng Moran said.

“A Great Spiritualist is trash?” Leng Ruoxue really couldn’t understand.?Is it possible that everyone in his family is Spiritual Monarch and above??However, she never expected that the person she saved was the eldest son of the Feng family.

“My aptitude is the worst in my family,” Feng Moran explained. The Feng family was one of the Five Great Families. Although he was the eldest son of the main branch, his aptitude was not good enough, so he was despised within the family and gradually became the trash eldest son in everyone’s mouth.

Alas, this is probably the sorrow of a big family. In an ordinary or small family, a Great Spiritualist is highly valued.

“Are you willing to be my partner?” Leng Ruoxue asked after some thought. She didn’t want an obedient subordinate who only followed her orders. What she wanted was a partner who could fight alongside her, was trustworthy, and would never betray her. She valued character more than strength.

“I’m… very weak!” Feng Moran said, a little flustered. To be honest, he hadn’t thought about being her partner. It was not that he didn’t want to, but that he felt that he was unqualified. With his strength, not only would he be unable to help, on the contrary, he might drag her back. Therefore, he wanted to repay her by being a mere servant.

“I don’t care about your strength. What I want is your character. My partner must be trustworthy, will never betray me, and can fight side by side with me!” Leng Ruoxue explained, knowing his concerns.

Partners were more important than friends. Partners and subordinates had to be loyal, but partners were different from subordinates. The relationship between partners was equal. They had to respect each other, trust each other, and never betray each other.

“You don’t know me,” Feng Moran said.

“It’s enough for me that you stuck by your spirit beast.”

“Shadow is my most important family and my only friend…” Feng Moran said as he caressed Shadow’s black fur.

“I am willing to be your partner, and I will never betray you.” Feng Moran had thought it through.?What’s there not to be confident about since she doesn’t dislike my low level and poor strength? Besides, I may be weak now, but it doesn’t mean that I will never be able to break through! I can’t change my aptitude, but I can work several times or even dozens of times harder than others. I believe that I will become a powerhouse one day!

“Okay. Then from now on, you are my partner.” Leng Ruoxue took out a pill and motioned for him to take it to heal his injuries first. His injuries might not be serious, but he shouldn’t continue bleeding like this.

“My injuries aren’t serious, so I don’t need such a precious pill.” He knew the value of pills, especially in this dangerous forest. Even the most common pill was very precious.

“I’m an alchemist. I have plenty of them.”

Feng Moran was speechless. She possessed such strength, and she was even an alchemist. How could others live with someone like her around?

But after hearing that she was an alchemist, Feng Moran did not decline. He took the pill and put it in his mouth, and his injuries healed instantly.

“I’m going to change my clothes.” Feng Moran looked at his tattered and bloody clothes, a little embarrassed.

“Change later. It’s getting dark, so let’s leave this place first!” Leng Ruoxue said. Of course, she did not forget to put away her spoils before leaving.

“But the smell of blood on my body will attract other spirit beasts.” Feng Moran was somewhat concerned.

“Just as well. I can use them as opponents,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly.

“…”

“Xue’er, where are we going?” Feng Moran looked at Leng Ruoxue and asked after they walked for a while.

“The silver wolf tribe’s territory!”

“…”

“It’s too dangerous. Let’s go somewhere else!” Feng Moran advised. Silver wolves were too fierce and difficult to deal with, so no one dared to provoke them.

“Dangerous? I’ve been staying there for a while.” Leng Ruoxue looked at him innocently.

Just as they were talking, a silvery-white little wolf ran out from nowhere. “Big Sister, Big Sister, Fengfeng missed you so much!”

Feng Moran looked at the silvery-white little wolf in a daze. He was rubbing Leng Ruoxue’s calf with pride and kept calling her Big Sister.

“I-is this a silver wolf cub?” He knew that silver wolves were very protective of their children, so many people said that it was better to provoke an adult silver wolf than to provoke their children because the revenge of silver wolves was really too terrifying. But this little wolf obviously knew Xue’er, which made him a little dumbfounded.

“You’re being naughty again!” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly while holding up the little wolf. This little fellow was very naughty, not allowing others to be worry-free.

“He is Yinfeng, the child of the silver wolf king,” Leng Ruoxue explained. She was the one who gave the little wolf his name.

“…”

No wonder Xue’er dares to camp in the silver wolf tribe’s territory. Alas, I shouldn’t compare myself to her. Apart from her, no dares to live there.?Feng Moran couldn’t help sighing.

“Big Sister, who is he?” Little silver wolf Fengfeng’s beautiful silver eyes looked at Feng Moran curiously.

“He is Big Sister’s new partner. Fengfeng can call him Big Brother,” Leng Ruoxue coaxed. This little silver wolf was a very cute and likable little fellow.

“Big Brother,” Fengfeng called out obediently.

“Good.” Feng Moran stretched out his hand and gently caressed the cute little silver wolf’s head. However, he couldn’t believe it. An uncontracted spirit beast actually addressed him as Big Brother. It was all very surreal and bizarre. Probably no one else other than Xue’er had such an experience.

“Big Sister, what delicious food will you make for Fengfeng today?” Fengfeng asked curiously while looking at Leng Ruoxue with his bright silver eyes.

“You’ll know later,” Leng Ruoxue said.?What a glutton.

They walked for a while and came to Leng Ruoxue’s camp. Feng Moran rubbed his eyes as he looked at the silver wolves lying around the tent, dumbfounded. They were indeed silver wolves, and not just one but a whole group. He counted thirty-six of them, and they were not silver wolf cubs but all adult silver wolves.

“Xue’er, they…” Feng Moran looked at the surrounding silver wolves and felt his hair stand on end.

“No problem. They’re my friends.” Leng Ruoxue calmed him.

“Oh.” Hearing Xue’er’s words, he felt slightly relieved, but he was still a little nervous.

“Big Brother Feng, go and change your clothes!” Leng Ruoxue reminded him, who was still wearing bloody clothes when they arrived at the camp.

“Okay.” Feng Moran turned and walked into the tent to change clothes.

Leng Ruoxue took out the big snake from her storage ring and threw it on the ground. Then she let her beasts out and asked them to help clean it so that they could eat snake meat tonight. The beasts nearly drooled when they heard this. Snake meat was very delicious. Moreover, it was a holy beast, which was not something that anyone had the chance to eat.

Leng Ruoxue turned her head to look at the sluggish silver wolves. “Go and help clean it, or there will be no food for a while!” The earth python was so huge, so how could her beasts manage to clean it by themselves?

“Master, here.” Charm took off the earth python’s skin intact and handed it to Leng Ruoxue.

“Beloved Master, and this.” Darling held a fist-sized yellowish-brown crystal in his little paw and handed it to Leng Ruoxue flatteringly.

Leng Ruoxue stored the earth python skin and then raised the crystal in her hand. The crystal was very clear and contained very abundant earth-attribute spiritual power. She knew that this was the spirit crystal of a spirit beast, and spirit crystals were the source of the spiritual power of spirit beasts. The spiritual power of spirit beasts was stored in spirit crystals, and spirit beasts could directly absorb the spiritual power inside. However, relatively speaking, the effect of direct absorption by spirit beasts was better than that of humans. Humans usually used spirit crystals to gather spiritual power. A perfect holy beast-level spirit crystal like this was absolutely valuable.

After changing his clothes, Feng Moran emerged and saw the huge earth python lying on the ground. The silver wolves were using wind blades to cut the flesh of the earth python into pieces while Xue’er was making a fire.

“Xue’er, are you planning to eat this earth python?” Feng Moran asked, slightly surprised.

“Yes.”

“Xue’er, do you know the value of this earth python?” He guessed that she might not know the preciousness of this holy beast.

“I heard the earth python meat is very delicious, so I want to try it,” Leng Ruoxue replied.

“Well, it’s delicious, but it’s also very expensive. Like this big one, it can sell for hundreds of thousands of amethyst crystals,” Feng Moran explained. He had only eaten earth python once when he was very young. Although it was merely a small piece, the deliciousness was unforgettable for life. Moreover, that was only an advanced spirit beast. The meat of this holy beast earth python would definitely be more delicious.

Leng Ruoxue did not expect this earth python to be so valuable. The main currency of this world were gold coins and amethyst crystals. One amethyst crystal was equal to one thousand gold coins, and one thousand gold coins was enough for ordinary people to live for a year. A small piece of earth python meat would probably be enough for ordinary people to live for several years. But she did not intend to sell it even if it was valuable. If it was really delicious, she had to save some for her grandfather and big brother. She had been out for several months and was starting to feel a little homesick.

“All the more so that I have to taste it to see if it’s really that valuable,” Leng Ruoxue answered.

“Alright then, I’ll help you,” Feng Moran said. In fact, he really wanted to taste it as well. It was extremely rare to be able to eat the meat of a holy beast.

Feng Moran took a piece of meat the size of a basin and pierced it with a branch. He released a water ball to clean it and then put it above the fire for grilling. Just after grilling it for a bit, a delicious smell wafted through the air.

“It smells so good!” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help exclaiming. She was really looking forward to it since it smelled so good before adding any seasoning. She also picked up a piece of meat and started grilling it. The surrounding beasts were all drooling as they lay down around them both obediently.

The smell of the grilled meat floated far away, attracting many spirit beasts. But no spirit beast dared to come forward and just stared from afar.

“Did your entire tribe come?” Leng Ruoxue asked speechlessly while looking at the large group of silver wolves. There were thousands of silver wolves. She would be exhausted just from grilling meat.

The silver wolf king looked at Leng Ruoxue with some embarrassment and feeling wronged. He did not ask them to come. They were attracted by the smell of the grilled meat. It was not his fault!

Feng Moran looked dumbfounded at the silver wolves that suddenly appeared, and the meat in his hands almost fell to the ground.?T-this is too exaggerated!

“Tell your tribe that each wolf can only get a small piece of raw meat,” Leng Ruoxue said to the silver wolf king after thinking about it. She couldn’t cook for them all, but she could still give them some raw meat. After all, she had lived in the silver wolf tribe’s territory for so long, and she had formed a good relationship with these silver wolves.
