"Do you have any other relatives?" Liao Xiao Jin asked. Mei Hu's eyes turned red: "No, our Mei Hu tribe is left with only me, my father and brother were killed by that monster, the elder of our tribe used the disintegration technique to fight with that monster to send me out safely, oh! My sister hasn't died yet! I saw my sister being caught by that monster when the elder sent me out. I want to go save her!" Mei Hu stood up and rushed out desperately. Liao Xiao Jin grabbed her: "Are you crazy? You can't beat them, that Wolf King is so powerful, your Mei Hu tribe isn't a match for that monster, going now would be sending yourself to death?"
Mei Hu suddenly pushed away Liao Xiao Jin, ran to Zhou Qing's front and grabbed Zhou Qing's hand, urgently saying: "Please! Please! Please go save my sister! I only have this one relative left, your abilities are so high, you must be able to save my sister, no matter what I do to repay you, I'm willing to be a cow or horse for you, as long as you save my sister!" As she spoke, she wanted to kneel down and kowtow. Liao Xiao Jin looked on with envy. "Damn it! Having high abilities is so cool! And having beautiful girls beg like this, awesome! Everything's being delivered right to the doorstep! If I say who's handsome, Master would dare not surpass me, why don't girls get sent to my doorstep? It seems that ability is more useful than being handsome!" Liao Xiao Jin's brain was turning with all sorts of thoughts.
Here is the translation:
"Rescuing people isn't a problem, but which demon alliance are we talking about? What kind of powerful demons are inside? We don't know, and I'm afraid that when the time comes, we won't be able to rescue anyone and will instead put ourselves in danger. You said that demon's powers aren't weak either, so I'm not confident."
"I know where the demon alliance is! I'll take you there. The demon alliance doesn't have many powerful demons right now. This time, that demon has made our entire Fox clan feel like we're in danger, so it's unlikely that there will be many demons at headquarters. He only has four loyal followers: a gibbon named Gibbon the Unyielding, the Eight Extremes Wolf King, a cat demon, and a ghost who has cultivated into a human form called the Ghost of the Underworld. Their powers are all around the late stage of Qi Refining. That demon was injured by our elder's Disintegrating Technique, so he should be recovering from his injuries and won't be able to stop us!"
Meng Hu saw that Zhou Qing had agreed and quickly said, "I have the 'Tian Xuan Heavenly Book', although it's written in the ancient language of the demonic tribes and no one can recognize it now. But that demon didn't steal it earlier or later, and now he's stealing it, even if it means turning against so many demons. He must have found a way to decipher the heavenly book. I want to go take a look."
Zhou Qing's eyes darted back and forth, "This little girl has the 'Tian Xuan Heavenly Book', although it's written in the ancient language of the demonic tribes and no one can recognize it now. But that demon didn't steal it earlier or later, and now he's stealing it, even if it means turning against so many demons. He must have found a way to decipher the heavenly book. I want to go take a look."
Here is the translation:
"Now, Zhou Qing said: 'However, your current strength is very weak, if you go, you won't be of much help and will only cause trouble for us. But we don't know your sister either, nor are we familiar with the place, so it's not like you can just not go. This is a bit of a problem!' He also gave Liao Xiao Jin a signal with his eyes. Mei Hu heard this and was also at a loss, frozen in place. It was actually Liao Xiao Jin who saw through Zhou Qing's intentions at a glance. 'Damn it! My master wants to be both a hero and a villain, previously when someone wanted to be your disciple, you were afraid of trouble, but now that you see an opportunity, you're jumping out again. You're not even ashamed to speak up. Great! It's still me who has to come, deceiving such a poor and beautiful girl. Master, you really have the heart to do this. Are you truly made of iron and stone?'" In his heart, he deeply despised Zhou Qing.
"Master, is there a way to improve my skills? If I can just boost my powers a bit, that would be enough." "There is! But Miss Meihou isn't one of our Tian Dao Sect's disciples, this method can't be used on outsiders!" Zhou Qing sighed. Hearing this, Liao Xiaojin almost went forward and was about to beat up Zhou Qing. Meihou heard this and was overjoyed, saying: "You've agreed to take me as your disciple? Master, please accept my respects, Meihou pays her respects with nine bows!" Zhou Qing didn't stop her now, and stiffly accepted Meihou's nine bows. Seeing this, Liao Xiaojin felt another wave of suffocation, and strange thoughts rose up in his heart: "Could it be that when he took me as his disciple back then, he didn't have good intentions either?"
As for Bai Zhou Qing's attitude towards Mei Hu, he didn't have any particular thoughts. Although Mei Hu looked like she was only 23 or 24 years old, in reality, if you calculated her age as a human, she would be at least 30 years older than Zhou Qing. However, the demon tribe had always revered strength, and demons lived much longer than humans, so their mental maturity developed much later than humans. Mei Hu's current personality was just like that of a human girl.
Zhou Qing laughed loudly: "Great! Great! Mei Hu, you are now my disciple in Tian Dao Sect! By the way, is your name really Mei Hu? What's your sister's name?"
"Master, all women in our Mei Hu Fox tribe are called Mei Hu. We don't have individual names."
Zhou Qing frowned: "This is not good, since you've joined our Tiandao Sect, it's better to have a name. Calling yourself Mei Hu is strange and may leak information. How about this, you take my surname and be called Zhou Chen instead, like the morning dawn." Mei Hu thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Qing said, "Originally, your demon clan was born with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, known as spirits, also called demons, monsters. As long as there is enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth, you can evolve. My Tian Dao Sect is quite skilled in this aspect." After finishing speaking, he tossed out eight jade tokens, which formed a huge Bagua array in mid-air. "Zhou Chen! Calm your heart and quiet your breath, no matter what happens, don't be surprised, practice according to your usual method!" Zhou Qing originally used the jade tokens to set up the array, but they were destroyed during his fight with Sanjing Tarou. However, now that he had money, he immediately spent a large sum to buy several high-quality jade tokens, which were even better than the originals by three points.
Seeing Zhou Chen sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in the array, Liao Xiao Jin stretched out his thumb to Zhou Qing, "Tsk tsk! Master, you are truly a model for our generation. You can even deceive little girls, your heart is as hard as steel!" Zhou Qing was furious and slapped Liao Xiao Jin on the head. "I'm helping her, didn't you see me increase her power? What do you know?" Glaring fiercely at Liao Xiao Jin, Zhou Qing took out a fist-sized red glowing pearl, which was the inner elixir left by the Eight Extremes Wolf King.
Zhou Qing's mind stirred, and the second Yuan Shen had already drilled out. A mouthful of three-flavored true fire burned the crimson inner elixir into a red gas, which Zhou Qing's sword technique guided into the Bagua diagram, tightly enveloping Zhou Chen sitting below. Zhou Qing proudly said to Liao Xiao Jin: "This is my recently comprehended Wen Wang's post-heavenly eight trigrams formation method, not bad, right?" Liao Xiao Jin snorted and said: "You used that Eight Extremes Wolf King's inner elixir to increase her power, aren't you afraid she can't withstand it?" "Don't I know? There's no problem, just a bit of pain!"
As expected, Liao Xiaojin saw Zhou Chen shrouded in the red mist, his body trembling non-stop, a pained expression on his face, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from his forehead, instantly evaporating under the fiery air in the red mist.
"This girl's endurance is indeed extraordinary, and she didn't even make a sound."
Liao Xiao Jin couldn't bear to say to Zhou Qing, "She's already pitiful enough, can you not torment her anymore? Is there any way to alleviate the pain?"
"Methods are available," Zhou Qing suddenly felt that Liao Xiao Jin's words were a bit off, "What nonsense are you talking about? What torture her? Making me look like a bad guy? I'm doing this for her own good! Dan Qi is expanding her meridians. Pain is necessary. However, what you said also makes sense, she is indeed pitiful, so I'll just take a loss today."
Fewer words today as I have something to attend to, so please forgive me...
