Yao Wuchen's Worries

"Is there?"

"Isn't it just normal meat?"

"Little Master, the two of them naturally can't compare to you. You are an invincible little master, so you will naturally be more powerful than them."

"That's right!"

Hearing Little Black's praise, the little girl responded with a proud expression. She then stopped paying attention to the two who were cultivating and started eating heartily again.

Due to the little girl's special physique, the food she ate was instantly broken down, which led to her having a large appetite.

A large pot of meat soup and more than half of the barbecue went into the little girl's stomach. Little Black only got a small portion of the roasted meat and some leftover soup.

This made Little Black's heart ache. This was demon beast meat that it had brought out, and it had even roasted the barbecue itself.

The little girl only gave it a piece of meat and some leftover soup. Was this what the Little Master meant by letting it eat and drink well?

After eating and drinking her fill, the little girl put away the things and sat beside Zhao Shanshan and the other girl, watching them cultivate with a hint of curiosity on her face.

"Little Black, do you know how much longer they will cultivate?"

The little girl had never cultivated before and didn't understand anything about it. Her strength all came from eating, so she naturally didn't know.

"Soon, in about the time it takes for a cup of tea to brew, they should be done."

Feeling a bit bored, Mu Qingling took out a bottle of Happy Water and drank it. She had six bottles in total, gave one to Teacher, and still had five for herself.

Normally, she wouldn't bear to drink it. If she weren't bored right now, the little girl probably wouldn't have taken it out.

Just as the little girl finished drinking the entire bottle of Happy Water, the two cultivating simultaneously stopped, a hint of surprise mixed with fear flashing across their faces.

Whether they had forgotten what happened in Laga Village or were simply too hungry, they each ate two pieces of meat in one bite and took a large gulp of soup.

But just those two pieces of meat and a mouthful of soup almost sent the sisters away. If a surge of energy hadn't suddenly appeared to protect them, they would have likely exploded.

However, although the process was perilous, their gains were immense. Zhao Shanshan advanced from True Spirit Realm first level to fourth level, while Zhao Yingying advanced from Spirit Sea Realm first level to Spirit Sea Realm fifth level.

This progress was faster than their cultivation over the past four years. After all, since they left Laga Village, they had only advanced one level in four years.

"Ling'er, thank you for the meat soup."

Both of them thanked the little girl. Zhao Shanshan also gave Little Black a grateful glance, knowing that it must have been Little Black who helped them.

"Huggies, big sister."

Seeing that the two had finally stopped cultivating, the little girl quickly asked Zhao Shanshan for a hug, and Zhao Shanshan naturally didn't refuse.

However, after Zhao Shanshan hugged the little girl, it wasn't long before the little girl fell asleep in her arms.

"Senior Little Black, what do we do now?"

Looking at the sleeping little girl, Zhao Shanshan was a bit at a loss. Why did she fall asleep so suddenly?

"Let's find a place to rest first! Little Master is used to sleeping when it gets dark. We'll make plans tomorrow after I help you with your matters in the Imperial City."

Little Black spoke human words to Zhao Shanshan. Zhao Yingying, who was unaware of this, was startled but quickly accepted that Little Black could talk.

After all, with Little Black's strength, it wasn't strange for it to be able to speak. Moreover, after hearing Little Black's words, Zhao Yingying finally understood what was going on.

"Alright then!"

Zhao Shanshan could only agree. Fortunately, there was a small city not far from here where they could stay, otherwise, they would have to sleep in the wilderness.

Zhao Shanshan carried the little girl and continued on their way. After more than an hour, the three of them and the dog finally arrived in the small city.

They found an inn in the small city and booked a superior room. Zhao Shanshan instructed Zhao Yingying to look after the little girl, and she herself left the inn.

She had heard Little Black say that the little girl slept when it got dark, so she needed to prepare some things. After all, she would be helping the little girl find her mother in the future, and they wouldn't always be in a city, so they needed to be prepared for sleeping in the wilderness.

Xiling Empire Imperial Palace.

"Elder Wu Yuan, have there been any reports from the Medicine Attendants?"

"Young Sect Master, there is no news yet. However, Young Sect Master need not worry. The entire Imperial City is under the control of our Medicine King Valley.

"And those two women are merely in the True Spirit Realm and Spirit Sea Realm. The Medicine Attendants I sent are led by a team of ninth-level True Spirit Realm experts. Capturing those two is only a matter of time."

"Perhaps they are already on their way back."

Hearing Elder Wu Yuan's words, a hint of worry flashed across Yao Wuchen's face. He was concerned that something might go wrong. Although he wasn't very clear about the matter of Princess Zhao, he had a rough guess.

Princess Zhao's failure was caused by sending people to kill those two women. Moreover, Yao Wuchen also knew that those two women had befriended some powerful individuals.

Now that the Medicine Attendants he sent had no news, he worried that he would suffer the same fate as Princess Zhao.

"Elder Wu Yuan, contact those Medicine Attendants."

Thinking this, Yao Wuchen instructed Elder Wu Yuan. If the Medicine Attendants had captured the people, it would be fine. If they still hadn't captured them, then Yao Wuchen would have to make other plans.

"Yes, Young Sect Master."

Although he was a little puzzled as to why Yao Wuchen was so cautious, Wu Yuan still agreed. He took out the communication jade pendant used to contact those Medicine Attendants.

However, after waiting for a long time, Wu Yuan did not receive any reply from the Medicine Attendants. A hint of nervousness appeared on Wu Yuan's face.

He had just assured Yao Wuchen that there would be no problem. Now he couldn't contact the Medicine Attendants, so Wu Yuan naturally became a little nervous.

Even though Wu Yuan was an elder of Medicine King Valley, he would still be punished if something went wrong with this matter.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the unnatural expression on Wu Yuan's face, Yao Wuchen frowned and asked, Could something have really happened?

"Young Master, the Medicine Attendants can't be reached."

"Hm?"

Yao Wuchen's heart leaped. He quickly stood up and stared at Wu Yuan, cursing the old man in his mind.

He had already told this old fool that those two women were very important, yet this old guy still didn't take it seriously.

The Medicine Attendants had been sent out for so long without returning, and now they couldn't even be contacted. Something must have gone wrong.

"Issue an order for the entire Imperial City to be on high alert. No one is allowed in or out. At the same time, notify the sect to send more powerful individuals, preferably with the Old Ancestor leading the team."

"Young Master, there's no need to be so nervous!"

Wu Yuan was a bit confused. It's just two women, why the big fuss?

"Are you telling me how to do my job?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

"Then hurry up and make the arrangements!"

Yao Wuchen's last sentence was a roar. He was becoming increasingly displeased with Wu Yuan. If it weren't for the fact that he needed people right now, Yao Wuchen would have even considered killing the old man.

"Yes, Young Master."
