Chapter 695: Chapter 86: Beating Up My Sister! Lici’s Whereabouts (Asking for Monthly Tickets) _5

Wang Lici, however, did not linger in battle. After roughly estimating the strength of the Black-toothed Giant Bear and injuring its paw with a single strike, she immediately turned and fled, keeping it at a moderate distance as she led it forward.

The speed of the Black-toothed Giant Bear was not particularly fast among fierce beasts of the same tier. Due to its bulky size, it was even slower in flight than on foot. Now with an injured paw, it naturally couldn’t catch up with her, and could only roar angrily in her wake.

Soon, she led the Black-toothed Giant Bear out of the fissure, then looked up at the sky and shouted.

"Master, it’s your turn!"

As her voice fell, a rugged male voice suddenly echoed from the sky: "Girl, step aside."

As he spoke, a brilliant crimson radiance descended from the sky, landing beside Wang Lici.

He was an elder with a lean face and an ethereal, immortal-like presence. It was clearly Wang Lici’s master, Master Yunyang, the vice-dean of Longzuo Academy.

Two or three decades had passed, and he looked the same as before, though his aura had become even more profound and inscrutable. Clearly, his strength had continued to progress during these years, though not as obviously as Wang Liyao’s.

The situation at hand was now apparent.

These master and apprentice had orchestrated a ploy, where Wang Lici used her humanoid radar talent to locate the suitable fierce beasts, then lured them out with herself as bait, allowing Master Yunyang to slay them.

Judging by their seamless cooperation, this was likely not the first time they had done this; they had honed it into a skill.

As soon as he landed, Master Yunyang raised his hand.

Profound Qi transformed into a massive crimson hand that covered the sky, pressing down hard. In no time, it subdued the Black-toothed Giant Bear, grabbing its neck and "crack"—snapping it.

Such a Tier Five Ferocious Beast, in front of an old peak Purple Mansion Ascendant like Master Yunyang, had virtually no power to resist.

"Let’s go."

After dealing with the Black-toothed Giant Bear, Master Yunyang casually lifted its corpse and stuffed it into the Storage Ring.

The enormous Black-toothed Giant Bear seemed to weigh nothing in his hands, easily hoisted.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a burst of brilliant crimson light enveloped them from above, carrying them in another direction.

These powerful fierce beasts in the Outer Domain each had their own territories, and some particularly strong ones were not to be trifled with even by Master Yunyang, who usually avoided them from afar.

Soon, the two left the area, finding a relatively safe spot to start a bonfire and roast meat.

"Good disciple, your talent is indeed useful, always spot on for finding fierce beasts and spiritual materials." As Wang Lici began roasting, Master Yunyang casually disassembled the Black-toothed Giant Bear and handed the edible parts to Wang Lici, saying, "Had I discovered sooner, we wouldn’t have had such a tough time over the years, moving every few years, sometimes even several times a year."

"I forgot~" Wang Lici admitted with a bit of regret, brushing seasoning on the roasting meat as she explained, "When I was little, I accidentally ingested some Stone Marrow, leaving sequelae because I couldn’t digest the medicinal power. Later, my Fourth Uncle was worried I’d eat the wrong things again and strictly forbade me from going to the Outer Domain without company."

"Your Fourth Uncle is Wang Shouzhe, the Patriarch of the Changning Wang Family, isn’t he?" Master Yunyang nodded, "His concerns are not unfounded. Your bloodline’s digestive ability is strong, but not limitless. If you ingest powerful Spiritual Medicine or wander into a formidable Fierce Beast Nest, it could indeed cause big trouble." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

During this period, using Wang Liyao’s talent, they cooperated to hunt fierce beasts, which mostly went smoothly, though accidents did occur.

Once, Wang Liyao, sensing something with her instinct, found her way into the lair of a Tier Seven peak White-Fronted Tiger King.

If not for Master Yunyang’s powerful presence and shadowing her all along, pulling her out promptly at any sign of trouble, Wang Liyao would have been in grave danger.

Another time, Wang Liyao accidentally stumbled into a nest of venomous insects, and it was again Master Yunyang who rescued her.

If she were allowed to roam alone in the Outer Domain, not just Wang Shouzhe, even Master Yunyang wouldn’t be at ease.

As they spoke, the roast meat was almost done, and its fragrance gradually spread.

Some fierce beasts, attracted by the aroma, tried to sneak closer. However, before they could get near enough, they sensed the mighty pressure of a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, and were so frightened they turned tail and fled with their tails between their legs.

Seeing the roast had reached perfection, Wang Lici took a slab, cut off a palm-sized piece, and handed it to Master Yunyang, then picked up the remaining large piece and happily devoured it, starting to roast a second piece.

Master Yunyang, seeing this, smiled with gratification, "Your bloodline has now risen to the Fourth-Layer Middle Stage, giving you a chance to compete for the future Saint Son. Once we finish this meal, I’ll take you to explore the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty."

Wang Lici looked up, asked while eating: "Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty? Are there delicious things there?"

"Hahaha~ I knew you’d ask that." Master Yunyang couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Don’t worry, the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty is an ancient dynasty spanning thousands of years. Whatever else is lacking, it won’t be short on special delicacies. There are even some ancient dishes, recipes long lost elsewhere but still preserved there... Most importantly, I have several friends there..."

"Master, I want to go, I want to go!"

The two of them conversed harmoniously, the atmosphere pleasant. Their laughter echoed far in the wilderness of the Outer Domain, inexplicably exuding a hint of warmth.

Within Master Yunyang’s heart stirred powerful emotions, "Old Dog Langya," you didn’t foresee this, did you? When you stole everything from me all those years ago, my dear apprentice shall reclaim it all for this old man!"
