“You’re no tomboy, my dear! You’re just too competent!” Qin Feng said. “If you’re really serious about this, then fight and support yourself! – if your father just needs 80,000 yuan, then redeem yourself! Take it that he sold his own daughter!”

Xiao Jing nodded, gritting her teeth. “Yeah, I want to earn money. At most, I would just die. If I do survive, I will be free when I go back!”

Of course, that enthusiasm did not last long. Xiao Jing sighed. Earning money was easier said than done. Even if she prost.i.tuted herself in the red-light district, she would never earn 80,000 yuan in a month’s time.

On top of that, she was so plain that no one would pay attention to her appearance!

But when her eyes fell on Qin Feng, she began to feel a little hopeful – not because she wanted to rely on him, but because Qin Feng had changed so much.

“Qin Feng, what have you been doing these few days? You seem so different. It looks like you’ve gained some weight!”

“Am I not doing what you want to do too?” Qin Feng answered. Why did she use the term ‘gain weight’ rather than ‘get stronger?’

“You’ve been hunting? Have… have you awakened already?”

“Nope!” Qin Feng denied calmly.

“Qin Feng, you’re really incredible!” Xiao Jing said admiringly. “Maybe that’s why you’ve always been number one in our grade. If I had known earlier, I would’ve joined even more martial arts cla.s.ses!”

She rarely trained her martial ats because it was very physically demanding. Her frail and underfed frame would see her would often pa.s.s out after cla.s.s.

“It’s not too late to learn now!” Although Qin Feng had no idea what Xiao Jing was put through in his previous life, one thing was for sure. She went on to be really successful, sharpened by the hards.h.i.+ps of life.

‘Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!’ Xiaobai popped it head out of Qin Feng’s backpack as if telling him to release it.

Xiao Jing was immediately drawn to the little creature.

“What is this? It’s so cute!” exclaimed the amused girl as she reached out to touch the creature.

“Growl!” Xiaobai barred its teeth, displaying fierce hostility.

Qin Feng was shocked by the little creature’s reaction. He patted Xiaobai soothingly to calm it down. “It’s okay, she’s a friend!” he said.

Xiaobai’s dark eyes were fixed on Xiao Jing as if displeased that he had come across such a weak companion. Its attention, however, was quickly diverted.

“Chirp!” Xiaobai suddenly looked away, cautious, and alert.

Again, Qin Feng was surprised. He did not expect Xiaobai to be so vigilant.

The little creature jumped out of the backpack so swiftly; it became a blurry flash of white. Qin Feng was taken aback by the sudden reaction and jumped up in caution.

“Xiaobai!” Qin Feng felt his body tense up. He drew his energy gun and pointed at the direction Xiaobai was heading.

A threadsnake three meters long and as thick as his wrist slithered on the ground. Its imposing size was proof that it could swallow the tiny creature in one bite.

Psssss.h.!.+ The threadsnake bared its fangs and pounced at Xaiobai!

Qin Feng pulled the trigger without even thinking.

Swoos.h.!.+

The energy gun unleashed a powerful ray and penetrated the threadsnake’s head.

But before that could happen, Xiaobai had already disappeared from the scene.

“Teleportation!” Qin Feng gasped when he saw the silvery glow on Xiaobai’s fur, a clear sign of s.p.a.ce elemental runes.

Only certain special ultra beasts were s.p.a.ce types. In fact, the s.p.a.ce type was not part of the awakened human ability and was deemed especially valuable.

Who knew that little Xiaobai would possess this rare ability after its awakening?!
