121: Chapter 121 Senior Sister Mu, what a shopping spree...

"A deal to make a fortune?"

Mu Siyao crossed her arms over her chest. A look of undisguised mockery and contempt instantly appeared on her already impatient, beautiful face as she sneered,

"Just you? A penniless wretch who can't even scrape together a few Spirit Stones, what kind of fortune-making deal could you possibly have? Are you trying to make a fool out of me early in the morning?"

Having said that, she rolled her eyes in a way that was both charming and extremely hurtful, making a move to slam the courtyard door shut.

Qin Feng was not angry at all. Instead, a mysterious smile curled at the corners of his mouth as he slowly and deliberately brushed his right hand over the Storage Pouch at his waist.

"Clatter—"

Accompanied by a crisp and pleasant clinking sound, a bulging money bag appeared in his palm.

He tossed it casually. The mouth of the bag opened slightly, instantly refracting a dazzling, misty Spiritual Qi.

"Senior Sister, don't be so absolute."

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with great temptation as he said, "I just accepted a good mission from the Mission Hall to go to the Black Wind Mountain Range outside the Sect to hunt a Qi Refining Level 5 Yao Beast. The mission is very lucrative, but I can't handle it alone. If Senior Sister is willing to grace us with her presence and help out, after it's done, these five hundred Spirit Stones will be your compensation for the hard work."

"Five... five hundred Spirit Stones?!"

Hearing such a huge number, Mu Siyao's motion to close the door froze in mid-air. Her pair of watery peach-blossom eyes instantly widened, staring fixedly at the bag in Qin Feng's hand that emitted rich Spiritual Qi, and even her breathing became a bit rapid.

Five hundred Spirit Stones?!

For an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple, this was simply a huge sum of money.

Even for a seasoned "gold digger" like her who knew how to play both sides, usually wanting to swindle enough Spirit Stones like this would require racking her brains to drain several Junior Brothers in the Outer Sect.

After all, although everyone could earn a hundred or eighty Spirit Stones every month, earning a hundred or eighty and having savings of a hundred or eighty were two different concepts...

After a brief shock, Mu Siyao's greedy heart began to beat wildly.

She suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, rolled her eyes quickly, sized up the newcomer in front of her who looked like he was only at the "Second Level of Qi Refining", and asked with feigned suspicion,

"What kind of mission could offer a sky-high price of five hundred Spirit Stones? Just the two of us going?"

"The mission isn't complicated, it's just a Qi Refining Level 5 Yao Beast. Senior Sister, your cultivation is profound, and with my assistance on the side, the two of us will be perfectly fine."

Qin Feng answered with a sincere face, as if he were truly a well-behaved Junior Brother in urgent need of a Senior's guidance.

Mu Siyao laughed wildly in her heart.

A rookie at the Second Level of Qi Refining, actually carrying a huge sum of five hundred Spirit Stones, and wanting to go to the wilderness to hunt a Yao Beast?

Newcomers are so naive, without any sense of caution, stupidly cute.

Since that's the case, once they get to the wilderness outside, relying on her absolute strength at Qi Refining Level 5 to crush him, not only would the five hundred Spirit Stones be hers, but all the savings and Magic Treasures on this brat wouldn't they all be in her pocket?!

This can also be considered Senior Sister's kindness, teaching the idiot who just climbed up from the Servant District what the dangers of the cultivation world are, giving him a free lesson.

Thinking of this, on Mu Siyao's originally cold face, like spring breeze and rain, a sweet and charming smile instantly bloomed.

"Oh my, Junior Brother, you are too much of a stranger. We are all from the same Sect. Since Junior Brother has encountered difficulties, how could Senior Sister sit idly by?"

Mu Siyao covered her mouth and giggled coquettishly, her tone even becoming as gentle as water, saying: "Okay, Senior Sister will help with this favor. When shall we set off?!"

"There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately." Qin Feng said decisively.

"Alright, Junior Brother, wait a moment, I will go get my weapon."

A moment later, Mu Siyao changed into tight-fitting leather armor convenient for battle, outlining her hot figure even more breathtakingly. With a sword hanging at her waist, she followed Qin Feng out of the gates of the Hehuan Sect with a beaming smile.

The two of them galloped all the way toward the Black Wind Mountain Range outside the Sect.

However, what Mu Siyao did not know was that just the moment they stepped out of the Sect's mountain-protecting formation.

Two hundred zhang behind them, two sneaky, familiar auras were none other than Ma Gan and Liu Biao, who were full of resentment and had been following them all the way!

...

The Black Wind Mountain Range is covered by a layer of faint black mist all year round.

The ancient trees in the forest tower into the sky, blocking out the sun. The air is filled with a pungent smell of rotting leaves and a faint scent of blood. From time to time, bone-chilling beast roars can be heard, and the atmosphere is suppressed to the extreme.

After the two went about thirty miles deep into the outskirts of the mountain range.

"Roar——!!!"

Suddenly, from a bush in front, an ear-splitting, violent roar erupted!

A gust of fishy wind rushed toward their faces, and immediately after, a huge Yao Beast with a body length of two zhang, covered all over with hard black fur like steel, suddenly jumped out of the shadows!

This Yao Beast's eyes were blood-red, its limbs were thick as pillars, and its sharp claws easily dug several deep gullies into the ground. Its whole body exuded a suffocatingly violent aura.

"It's a Qi Refining Level 5 Iron-Armored Black Wind Leopard!" Mu Siyao's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on the sword hilt.

"Senior Sister, be careful, this beast is very fierce!"

Qin Feng exclaimed, pretending to be facing a great enemy.

He raised his hands abruptly, "Swish, swish, swish," three steel flying knives turned into cold light and shot straight toward the Iron-Armored Black Wind Leopard's face.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

However, when these flying knives touched the heavy iron armor on the Iron-Armored Black Wind Leopard's head, they only sparked, not even leaving a white mark, and were directly deflected away.

The damage was not high, but the insult was extremely strong!

"Roar!"

The Iron-Armored Black Wind Leopard, having been provoked for no reason, was completely enraged.

Its blood-red beast eyes instantly locked onto the human in front, preparing to launch a thunderous strike.

Just at this moment, a truly jaw-dropping scene appeared.

The moment Qin Feng finished throwing the flying knives, wind rose under his feet, and the Ghost Wind-Stepping was activated by him just right.

He saw his figure twist weirdly like a loach, and he actually slipped behind Mu Siyao in a flash.

Not only did he hide, but he also shamelessly shouted: "Senior Sister, this Yao Beast's skin is too thick, my hidden weapons can't break its defense, it all depends on your Divine Might, Senior Sister!"

"You bastard! Why are you hiding behind me?!" Mu Siyao cursed angrily, her lungs about to explode.

However, she had no time to teach Qin Feng a lesson.

Although the Yao Beast's IQ was not high, it had keen instinctual perception.

It instantly sensed that the brat hiding behind had only a weak Qi Refining Level 2 aura, while the woman blocking in front was emitting a solid Qi Refining Level 5 True Yuan fluctuation, making her the biggest threat here!

"Boom—"

The Iron-Armored Black Wind Leopard's huge body turned into a black lightning bolt, carrying the power of mountains and seas, opened its bloody mouth, and directly lunged fiercely at Mu Siyao.

"Damn beast, get lost!"

Mu Siyao had nowhere to hide, so she could only bite the bullet, draw her long sword, pour her Qi Refining Level 5 True Yuan into it without reservation, and fight fiercely with the Yao Beast.

For a time, Sword Qi crisscrossed in the forest, and beast roars continued.

The Iron-Armored Black Wind Leopard not only had amazing defensive power but also moved as fast as a ghost.

Although Mu Siyao's cultivation was equal to it, in front of such a beast fighting for its life, she could only barely manage a draw.

"Clang! Rip—"

After a violent collision, although Mu Siyao slashed a bloody wound on the leopard's abdomen with one sword, her own left arm was also grazed by the sharp leopard claw. The leather armor tore, revealing the fair skin inside, and blood instantly stained her sleeve red.

"Qin Feng, are you still watching the show there?! Why don't you come and help!"

Mu Siyao roared angrily at the man hiding behind a big tree in the distance while awkwardly parrying the Yao Beast's crazy counterattacks.

Qin Feng poked out half his head and shouted with an "anxious" and "helpless" face,

"Senior Sister, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that my cultivation is too low. If I go up, I'm just delivering a snack to it. Not only will I not be able to help, but I will also slow down your sword-drawing speed! Senior Sister, come on, I believe in you, we are about to win!"
