Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks-Chapter 2997: I Didn’t Let You Down

Ning Shu opened the door, her face utterly haggard.

Yu Xiongfeng asked anxiously, “Were you able to refine the heavens-mending pills?”

This was their only chance. The materials for the heavens-mending pill were incredibly difficult to gather, and even the Yu family couldn’t afford another attempt.

Ning Shu handed the jade bottle to Yu Xiongfeng. “I didn’t let you down.”

Yu Xiongfeng carefully took the bottle and poured out one pill. A rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Seeing the pill’s patterns, Yu Xiongfeng was overjoyed. He had thought it would be good enough just to successfully refine the pills, he hadn’t expected to get high-quality ones with patterns.

And there were several of them! Having even one would have already been very fortunate—these were priceless treasures.

The heavens-mending pills could repair one’s dantian and allow one’s cultivation foundation to be rebuilt—people would go crazy trying to snatch one.

All the losses they had incurred were now offset by these pills.

Yu Xiongfeng had already made plans: one pill for Yu Linglong, sell two to fund materials for the soul-nourishing pills, and have the senior refine strength-enhancing and healing pills next.

“Many thanks, Sir,” Yu Xiongfeng said, bowing deeply to Ning Shu. He had initially thought he was just a spirit beast—a wild and brutish creature. He never expected that he actually knew human alchemy techniques.

“I’ll find the soul-nourishing pill’s materials, you have my word.”

“Don’t tell Yu Liuli about this,” Ning Shu instructed.

“I understand,” Yu Xiongfeng replied with a nod.

Afterward, Ning Shu and Yu Xiongfeng returned to the Yu residence through the secret passage.

“Don’t forget about the soul-nourishing pill,” Ning Shu reminded him.

“Rest assured, Senior,” Yu Xiongfeng replied earnestly.

Ning Shu transformed into a sparrow and flew back to her room, only to find Yu Liuli sitting there, waiting.

Ning Shu stopped at the door, reverted to her human form, and asked, “You’re back from the trial?”

Yu Liuli was alone, her complexion pale.

Ning Shu was puzzled. Yu Liuli should have returned with a contracted spirit beast.

Why was she by herself?

Ning Shu looked around, trying to spot a fox or snake by Yu Liuli’s side.

“Where have you been?” Yu Liuli asked coldly.

Ning Shu shrugged and said, “I was just wandering around. It’s my first time in human territory, so I wanted to see how humans live.”

She spouted nonsense without hesitation.

“I can tell when you’re lying. Kong Lin, I’ve tolerated you again and again—don’t test my patience,” Yu Liuli sneered coldly, lifting her lips in disdain.

“I nearly didn’t make it back. And yet, my contracted spirit beast was out wandering.” Yu Liuli’s face was livid with anger.

This time, she had encountered a powerful divine beast she wanted to contract but couldn’t defeat.

Meanwhile, Yin Tian had been forced into slumber by Ning Shu.

In her moment of greatest danger, it was only because Yin Tian was forced to awaken and he drew on her body’s strength to help her escape, that she managed to survive.

Yin Tian had almost dissipated entirely after that.

Ultimately, the root of the problem was this useless peacock spirit beast, who not only failed to contribute but also dragged her down with its reckless behavior.

Yu Liuli was so furious she wanted to eradicate the peacock.

However, for now, she still needed the peacock divine beast’s reputation to deter those harboring ill intentions.

The thought that she had missed out on contracting such a powerful divine beast pained Yu Liuli deeply. She could have contracted a divine beast far stronger than this flamboyant peacock.

But just like that, she had to watch the opportunity slip through her fingers.

If it weren’t for Kong Lin forcing Yin Tian into slumber, she wouldn’t have been so furious that she didn’t even bring him along when heading to the academy for trials.

What made Yu Liuli even angrier was that the peacock really didn’t come along. He showed no sense of responsibility as a contracted beast.

If Kong Lin had been there, and Yin Tian hadn’t been in slumber, she was confident she could have subdued that divine beast.
