Chapter 250: I’ve Actually Become So Cruel!
Zhan Sheng didn’t hesitate much. “It’s fine, this one it is. I’ll use it for now anyway.”
Hearing Zhan Sheng’s words, Chu Qi waved her hand, and the Fire Crow Beast was controlled and flew over.
It seemed to be surprised itself, and even let out a yelp in fright.
It really looks like a dog!
However, when it reached Zhan Sheng and Chu Qi, its previous arrogant demeanor was gone, and it trembled all over.
Especially after its gaze met Zhan Sheng’s.
Zhan Sheng felt that the Spirit Beast didn’t seem to like her.
Chu Qi raised her chin. “Try it, pet it.”
Zhan Sheng reached out, hesitated slightly, and finally landed her hand on the Fire Crow Beast’s forehead.
The touch was fluffy.
She herself never kept animals in reality because she felt she had no patience for such things.
But the fluffy touch in her hand suddenly felt quite nice.
Since it wasn’t reality, it would be interesting to keep one occasionally.
The Fire Crow Beast didn’t resist at all.
Zhan Sheng even suspected that Spirit Beast selection was a scam; how could it express dislike for a cultivator when it was this scared?
Seeing that it didn’t resist, Chu Qi smiled. “It seems to like you.”
Zhan Sheng: “…”
For a moment, she doubted Chu Qi’s judgment.
Chu Qi then said, “Take it. Later, when we get to the Sect, use the Spirit Beast Contract. Drip your blood on it, and the contract will be bound. It will be your Spirit Beast from then on.”
Zhan Sheng held the Fire Crow Beast and nodded.
Just as they were about to leave, a voice suddenly called out from not far away, “Wait a moment.”
The two looked up to see Senior Brother Wei and Junior Sister Mi from before.
Chu Qi looked at Senior Brother Wei, her head spinning. The girl’s face clearly showed her displeasure. “Senior Brother Wei, what are you doing?”
Senior Brother Wei gestured towards Zhan Sheng with his chin. “My junior sister fancies that Fire Crow Beast.”
This time, no one spoke.
The System couldn’t help but say, “Are they crazy? Are they filming a TV drama here?”
“…”
They were indeed crazy.
Zhan Sheng thought so too.
Chu Qi turned her head, looked at Senior Brother Wei again, and then put her hands on her hips, saying, “Senior Brother Wei, there are so many Fire Crow Beasts nearby, why don’t you just pick one yourself?”
Senior Brother Wei sneered. “We want the one in your hand. It caught my junior sister’s eye.”
Zhan Sheng noticed out of the corner of her eye that the Spirit Beasts that had approached her earlier had all scattered when Senior Brother Wei and the others came closer.
What a jinx!
Zhan Sheng’s gaze fell on Junior Sister Mi.
The young girl’s eyes roamed over her. As an adult, Zhan Sheng had seen it all.
So, she easily discerned a hint of malice beneath those seemingly calm eyes.
She chuckled softly.
Chu Qi took the lead. “Senior Brother Wei, don’t stir up trouble. My junior sister has already chosen this Fire Crow Beast. If you like it, go find another one.”
Senior Brother Wei narrowed his eyes and didn’t speak directly to Chu Qi. Instead, he looked at Zhan Sheng. “Junior Sister, my junior sister wants the Fire Crow Beast in your hand. You should find another one.”
His tone was impolite, even subtly pressuring.
That powerful aura instantly bore down on her.
A common tactic of high-level cultivators, Zhan Sheng’s mind instantly felt a dull ache, and the feeling of being suppressed was extremely uncomfortable.
Chu Qi immediately became angry. “What do you mean? You dare to threaten my junior sister!”
Just as she was about to release her aura, Wei Heng immediately withdrew his Spiritual Sense and smiled. “Did my words imply that?”
But cultivators of lower cultivation levels would understand.
Normally, newcomers wouldn’t easily offend a disciple of an Elder over a Spirit Beast.
Zhan Sheng’s eyes turned cold.
She spoke word by word, “I will not give it.”
Her three words caused Wei Heng’s expression to change.
He immediately stared at Zhan Sheng, his sinister gaze sweeping over her, carrying a chilling killing intent.
“Senior Brother…”
Mi Qiaoyi behind him finally spoke slowly, “Forget it, let’s find another one.”
Her gaze swept over Zhan Sheng, like a snake, cold and damp.
“Hmph!”
Chu Qi looked at Zhan Sheng with admiration, snorted heavily through her nose, and led Zhan Sheng away. “Junior Sister, let’s go.”
Zhan Sheng wasn’t very angry. She was indeed a bit provoked, but being older, she could still maintain her composure. However, the System was more impatient than she was.
“Who are they? Who are they!! They haven’t experienced the harshness of society!”
System: “Don’t bully the young and poor. Just wait until you reach the Core Formation Stage!”
Zhan Sheng, however, thought, “I probably shouldn’t leave the Sect for the next two years.”
The System saw some issues. “You think these two will make a move on you?”
Zhan Sheng nodded. “I can feel it.”
She was sensitive to killing intent and had experienced life-or-death situations before. Moreover, this was the Cultivation World, where that feeling was even more pronounced.
Such heavy killing intent, is this the way of the Tai Xue Sect?
Most of the people from the Tai Xue Sect she had interacted with recently were quite peaceful.
Of course, cultivators are individuals with different personalities, and killing due to conflict was not uncommon.
Especially since she had just offended Wei Heng today.
The System complained about this mess to Song Jiulai. Song Jiulai listened and was a bit confused. “Are these two sick? Fighting over things with someone in the Qi Condensation Stage?”
The System analyzed, “It’s probably because Dan Qiu and Lu Zhu have a feud. Disciples of two Elders don’t get along, and Zhan Sheng’s low cultivation made her a convenient outlet. Senior Brother Wei probably didn’t expect Zhan Sheng to dare to disrespect him.”
Song Jiulai’s eyes rolled. “That’s normal. Zhan Sheng probably wasn’t an ordinary person in reality. Players wouldn’t want to be bullied when they come to play a game.”
Not wanting to be bullied was one thing, but reality was another. Zhan Sheng would have to be careful if she were to leave the Sect in the future.
At least in the Cultivation World, face was truly more important than the heavens.
Wei Heng being snubbed by someone in the Qi Refining Stage, these two might actually make a move before Zhan Sheng reaches the Core Formation Stage.
She, the Sect Master, also needed to reach the Core Formation Stage quickly.
If they dared to make a move, she would help Zhan Sheng find an opportunity to kill these two as a precaution.
Her precious Player must not be harmed—
“No!” Song Jiulai couldn’t help but touch her face. “Why have I suddenly become so cruel?”
She used to be Song Jiulai, who would cry for half a day even after killing a chicken.
How had she adapted so quickly to this world?
“I knew you were special from the start!” The System praised. “When you killed that cultivator, I knew you were no ordinary person!”
And you had no psychological barriers afterward.
Song Jiulai clicked her tongue. What psychological barriers could she have towards someone trying to kill her?
She ate well and slept soundly.
Riding the Flying Magic Treasure refined by Liang Xueyao, she leisurely flew along the route on the map towards the first mine closest to Xuanwu City.
