It was Yi Feng who was curious about the young lady seated lazily beside him. Who was this lady? Why the special treatment from the Xuan Yuan Family?
But just as he was about to give voice to his questions, his hand was suddenly pricked. Looking down, he saw that the tenth-stage demon creature which had previously been lying down quietly at the side had suddenly jumped to its feet, limbs stiff straight and its fur standing on end. Its whole body began to tremble slightly as if having encountered something frightening.
“Huh? Xue Yin?” What’s wrong with it?
The sudden movement caused the girl beside Yi Feng to turn around and look at the creature on the ground. She asked, “Cat?”
“It’s a Lion Roaring Beast,” Yi Feng explained.
“Oh.” Shen Ying looked at it again. I’ve never seen this little creature before. Wonder if it can be eaten?
The Lion Roaring Beast trembled even harder…
“Stop trembling. You’re going to knock into others,” she suddenly warned.
The Lion Roaring Beast immediately froze like a fossil, still as can be.
Yi Feng could not believe his eyes. “Lady, are you also an expert in beast taming?”
“Never learned that before.”
“Then that’s even weirder. Xue Yin has never listened to others before unless… maybe it is sick?”
“Possibly!”
He conveniently asked, “In your opinion, what illness do you think it has contracted?”
“Uh… Canine distemper?”
“…”

The first day of the preliminary rounds was a mere formality like an opening ceremony. The important part would be the finals on the third day. The experts of every sect only watched for a few hours from the audience platform before they began leaving in succession. Even both the Yu and Yi Family left.
Shen Ying’s group waited till all nine of their disciples had finished their fights before getting ready to leave. The lucky thing was that all nine of them had qualified for the second round of the competition tomorrow. The two members from the Xuan Yuan Family beside them had kept them company throughout the entire match and afterwards even courteously sent them back to their courtyard to rest.
“Little Missy, you are finally back!” Upon entering the house, Radish who was dressed like a jade, pounced onto Shen Ying who habitually dodged a step to the side. It resulted in that jade-resembling piece smashing directly into the person behind Shen Ying – Lonemoon.
Lonemoon’s mouth twitched as he asked, “Why the hell did you transform into a human?” Where did your promise to stay in the pit hole go?!
“Cheh!” Radish stepped back in disdain as it slapped at Lonemoon’s hand. “Ugly, don’t touch me!”
The blue veins on Lonemoon’s temples exploded. “Holy shit, how about you move around by yourself in the future? Don’t turn into a radish and cling onto my leg!” I haven’t even complained about your weight!
“Pui. You think I want to?!” Rradish was also unwilling to do so. If only if it weren’t for Little Missy who did not allow him to hug onto her leg… The more radish thought about it, the more it felt aggrieved. It turned to Shen Ying, wanting to beg for a hug. “Little Missy, he bullied me!”
“Get lost!” A vegetable thing has no right to speak up.
“Wa wa wa…”
“This… is this a Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit?” Xuan Yuanyu looked towards Radish in shock. It had manifested so quickly! The Xuan Yuan Family had worked hard for thousands of years yet they had not managed to get their Vegetation Spirit to manifest, even though they had nurtured it till its death!
Both gazes of the Xuan Yuan Family members on Radish grew fiery until Radish had to hide behind Shen Ying. Enraged, it threatened, “Pui! Get lost you ugly things. Don’t covet my pure body!”
The Xuan Yuan Family pair: “…” Were all Vegetation Spirits that had manifested so mean?
“Cough. Great Immortal.” Xuan Yuanyu withdrew his gaze from Radish and scanned everybody else before turning towards Shen Ying, saying, “Congratulations to all the disciples that have entered the second round of the competition. You all are indeed the Great Immortal’s disciples. Every one of you are outstanding.”
“Of course!” Radish answered with pride before Shen Ying could reply. “Our Little Missys are all very formidable.”
