Eternal vanity

Chapter 36

Quiet Abyss Forest.

Bai Chen sat cross-legged, adjusting his breathing for a long time before standing up with great difficulty.

The Source Qi in his body was like a dried-up river, and waves of weakness surged out like a tide.

With the help of Qiao Qiao, Bai Chen stood up shakily, his eyes silently looking at Wang Yuan, who was grinning from ear to ear. A trace of disappointment flashed across his face, but he quickly shook his head, sweeping away the haze that had accumulated in his heart.

"I'm afraid this is your true purpose, to capture a Flaming White Tiger as a contracted pet. Otherwise, how could you enter this Quiet Abyss Forest with us?"

"If I said yes, would Brother Yun feel very disappointed?" Wang Yuan met Bai Chen's deep eyes, not avoiding his gaze.

After staring blankly for a long time, he suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect your Artifact to be so terrifying. If I had known that Brother Yun had a backup plan with such destructive power, I would have done it myself no matter what.

"However, I still have to thank Brother Yun and Brother Qiao. I didn't tell you the truth, I hope you two brothers will forgive me!"

Qiao Qiao's mind raced. He knew that after this matter, Bai Chen and Wang Yuan would definitely hold a grudge, but the three of them were strangers who had met by chance and knew very little about each other. It was impossible for them to become close friends just by spending a few days together.

He scratched his head and laughed, "Boss, your Artifact is simply too powerful. Look around, all the vitality has been swallowed up."

Bai Chen looked around and saw that the surrounding vegetation was withered and yellow, completely devoid of vitality. Everything in sight was charred, and even the poisonous centipedes not far away had been sucked dry of their Source Qi. None of them were spared.

He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. If he had continued to let the Pathless Money devour this Quiet Abyss Forest, it was possible that it would no longer exist.

He should use it less in the future.

"At the end of the day, we have to thank Brother Yun. Otherwise, dying under the claws of this little guy would truly be a cowardly death." Wang Yuan rubbed the little white tiger in his arms. The little white tiger comfortably snorted.

"Boss!

Qiao Qiao, who was rejoicing over his new life, suddenly looked at Bai Chen and swore loudly as if he was making a vow. "Even if … even if you're an evil cultivator, I, Qiao Qiao, won't abandon you. Don't worry, if you're a demon, I'll join you!"

Bai Chen was a little touched when he heard this. He knew that Qiao Qiao was afraid that he was dissatisfied with Wang Yuan, which was why he said such sour words at this time and place.

However, he couldn't help but smack Qiao Qiao on the head. He was so angry that he laughed, "You better open your eyes and look carefully!

This was called the unique pure darkness physique in the Nine Gods Continent!

It's not an evil path! "

"I know … I was just trying to flatter you …" Qiao Qiao covered his head and whispered.

Both Bai Chen and Wang Yuan felt a chill run down their spines when they saw her coquettish and shy expression.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly. Then, they moved their bodies back almost imperceptibly at the same time.

"Today's matter is all thanks to Boss. Otherwise, the three of us would have already been buried in the tiger's belly." Qiao Qiao still had lingering fears when he thought of the soul-stirring scene just now.

Looking at the white tiger nestled in Wang Yuan's arms and constantly acting coquettishly, he couldn't help but put on a fierce expression. He rushed in front of Wang Yuan like a whirlwind and said with a malevolent expression, "It's all your fault, little guy. I don't know what evil thing you ate, but the three of us were almost killed by you."

After receiving Wang Yuan's blood essence, the little white tiger already understood human nature. When it saw Qiao Qiao shouting at it in a flustered and exasperated manner, a look of confusion first appeared on its snow-white little face. Then, when it saw that Qiao Qiao was becoming more and more insolent, all the hair on its body stood on end. It struggled in Wang Yuan's arms and flipped its body, making an attacking posture.

In any case, it was the king of beasts. How could it suffer such humiliation for no reason!

Wang Yuan had a puzzled expression as he stroked the little white tiger's soft and delicate hair. He said with great puzzlement, "Speaking of which, it's strange. The ancient books record that this divine tiger's entire body is white, but I've read all kinds of ancient books, but there's never been a book that clearly records that this tiger's body carries a pair of wings. Strange, strange!"

Bai Chen's eyes narrowed. He asked thoughtfully, "Then how did you know that this kind of white tiger exists in this Nether Pine Forest?"

Wang Yuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "To tell you the truth, Brother Yun, I originally didn't enter this secret realm for this little guy. However, a few days ago, someone accidentally saw a white tiger appear in the vicinity of the Nether Pine Forest. At that time, I guessed that it might be the 'Snow Tiger' recorded in the ancient books.

"But today, outside the Security Hall, I accidentally heard that you and Brother Qiao were planning to come here. Therefore, I decided to come with the two of you to investigate this Nether Pine Forest."

"Snow Tiger?" Bai Chen was slightly stunned.

"Yes."

Wang Yuan scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "Because the fur on this tiger's entire body is bright white, like the white snow under the cold moon, it is called the 'Snow Tiger'."

Snow Tiger, it really lived up to its name.

Bai Chen nodded. He could feel Wang Yuan's love and persistence towards this tiger. Although he didn't know whether this Snow Tiger would be of any help in increasing one's cultivation, Bai Chen dared to bet that Wang Yuan would definitely treat it well.

At this moment, Qiao Qiao didn't care about any "Snow Tiger" or "White Tiger". He bared his fangs and brandished his claws at the little snow tiger and madly danced in the air. If a tiger doesn't show its might, you think I'm a sick cat …

That's not right. How did I confuse myself with this beast? This is too damaging to my, Qiao Qiao's, noble and steady temperament!

The little snow tiger also bared its fangs and whimpered. Its young and tender little face was filled with hostility towards Qiao Qiao.

"Little beast, if you have the ability, bite me!

Come and bite me … "Qiao Qiao bared his fangs and brandished his claws as he said fiercely.

The little snow tiger stretched its short neck and swayed its round little head restlessly in Wang Yuan's arms. Its mouth became bigger and bigger.

Qiao Qiao hooked his right index finger even more proudly. The pride on his face was indescribable. "Little beast, let's see what you can do to me. Ha!

If you have the ability, come and bite me. Weren't you very majestic just now?

Why have you become a coward now?

"Oh, so your name isn't 'Snow Tiger'. 'The Shedding Tortoise' is your real name. I hahahaha …"

The little snow tiger's eyes were as round as pearls. Its mouth was so big that it looked like someone had stuffed a rattan ball the size of a child's fist into it.

Qiao Qiao, who didn't know what was going on, suddenly burst into laughter. He held his stomach and said happily, "Haha, you little beast can still get angry. Come on, come at me if you have the ability. If I have to dodge, my surname isn't Qiao …"

Qiao Qiao, who was getting more and more excited, didn't notice the little snow tiger's subtle movements at all. The little fellow was staring at Qiao Qiao covetously and scolding him. It was waiting for Qiao Qiao Qiao to reveal an opening.

Soon, the disgusting and stupid human in front of it opened its bloody mouth in satisfaction.

The little snow tiger waited for the right moment and used its two front paws to push against Wang Yuan's arms. Using the force of Wang Yuan's body leaning forward, it delivered a mouthful of hot saliva into Qiao Qiao's mouth.

Then, it watched as the ashen-faced Qiao Ya forcefully swallowed his saliva and rolled on the ground, his entire body twitching. The little snow tiger narrowed its beady eyes and happily bared its two rows of tiny white teeth.

At this moment, Qiao Li, whose body was emitting dense white smoke and whose face was dark purple, felt as if his entire body was being roasted by the scorching sun. He discovered that the water in his body was slowly draining away, and the source energy in his limbs and bones instantly gathered in his dantian, turning into a heart-burning fireball.

Bai Chen, who had been paying attention to the little snow tiger and Qiao Qiao's movements, was the first to notice Qiao Qiao's abnormality. He quickly bent over and helped Qiao Qiao Qiao's boiling hot body. In a low voice, he said, "Qiao Qiao, regulate your breathing and circulate your qi."

Qiao Qiao, who was at a loss, seemed to have heard an imperial voice. As if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw, he immediately obeyed and forced himself to circulate his qi.

The Source Qi in his body, which was originally as calm as a deep pool, immediately became turbulent and boiling after he circulated it through his body. Countless amounts of Source Qi continuously gathered in his Dantian, like a vast and surging sea that was inexhaustible.

Fifth-grade Divine Master!

Peak!

Sixth-grade!

Peak again!

Seventh-grade!

Peak again!

…

Peak of ninth-grade!

After fourteen circulations, Qiao Qiao, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly returned to normal.

He slowly opened his eyes. His pale lips were dry and colorless. He said weakly, "Finally … the tide has ebbed."

Then, with a plop, he directly fell to the ground and fainted.

Wang Yuan was flabbergasted and smacked his lips. He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "What … what is going on? Brother Qiao's cultivation rose to the peak of ninth-grade Divine Master so easily with just a mouthful of saliva from the little Snow Tiger … Why didn't you give such a good thing to your master?"

He picked up the little Snow Tiger, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and said impatiently, "Quick, spit a few mouthfuls of saliva into my mouth. After that, there will be meat to eat."

Seeing this scene, Bai Chen, who had long been unable to hold back his laughter, walked over and took the adorable Snow Tiger from Qiao Qiao's hands. He shook his head and said angrily, "What it spat out just now was not saliva. If I'm not wrong, it should be the treasure that allowed it to grow wings for no reason and grow rapidly."

"Could it be … one of the Nine Treasures of the Arcane Realm?" Wang Yuan asked with bulging eyes.

"Yes."

Bai Chen nodded. "If I'm not wrong, this treasure should be a purple jade bead. After the little Snow Tiger's power was sucked dry by my magic weapon, this item once again played its role in its stomach. That's why Qiao Qiao got it so easily."

"Good boy!"

After a long time, Wang Yuan, who had a rich expression on his face, exclaimed, "I didn't expect Brother Qiao to be so lucky. It's really strange."

After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Qiao Qiao, who did not know what had happened, slowly opened his eyes. He asked with a blank expression, "What … happened to me?"

Wang Yuan said very gloomily, "Nothing, you just stepped on a huge piece of luck."

Qiao Qiao looked at Bai Chen with a puzzled expression. Bai Chen shook his head at him, indicating that he was fine.

"Then … who are they?" Qiao Qiao asked weakly as he pointed at the figures slowly approaching in the distance.

Bai Chen looked in the direction of his finger. His expression froze, and he spat out two words in a cold voice, "Family Zhou!"

… …

Inside the security hall.

"What??!

Yun Qingxiao is Yun Qingxiao?! "Di Wei slammed the table and stood up, his eyes full of shock.

Yun Qingchen, who was dressed in a purple robe, revealed a trace of viciousness from his gloomy eyes. He unconsciously clenched his fists. "That's right, that bastard even hindered me from capturing Ye Jin. I fell into his trap!"

"But it doesn't matter. The divine sense imprint I left on the Snow Tiger's body has been shattered. It seems that the treasure has been taken out. Let's go now, eliminate Yun Qingxiao, and take back the treasure!"

Di Wei said with a hint of anger, "All members of the Di Family, listen up!

Come with me immediately to capture Yun Qingxiao. The first one to capture her will be heavily rewarded! "

"Yes!"

Then, he tore the Thousand Transformations Talisman.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Yun Qingxiao, you claim to be able to predict heaven's will in vain. You probably didn't expect that you would be clearing the path for us to obtain the treasure.

Yun Qingchen directly tore the Thousand Transformations Talisman in his hand.
