Little Black Carries the Blame

"Little Black, I found so many vegetables! Let's go pick some!"

In a secluded courtyard in Medicine King Valley, the little girl seemed to have discovered a treasure and said mysteriously to Little Black.

Woof woof...

"Then let's go!"

The little girl climbed onto Little Black's back and said. Then, the girl and the dog disappeared from the room and reappeared in a medicinal field.

Seeing the spiritual medicine covering the ground, the little girl was extremely excited. She quickly got off Little Black's back and started picking the spiritual medicine.

"Hmm, I don't want this one, it doesn't look good. This one looks delicious, so I'll pick more."

As the little girl picked spiritual medicine, she didn't forget to complain about some of them not looking good.

Thus, the girl and the dog went on a spree, picking spiritual medicine in the field, completely disregarding that they were Medicine King Valley's cultivated spiritual medicines.

Meanwhile, Yao Ling, who had arranged for Mu Qingling's accommodation, was fantasizing about how to maximize profits after going to Tianji Sect tomorrow.

If he truly helped Mu Qingling find news of her mother, he would definitely be a hero. As long as Medicine King Valley helped Mu Qingling find her mother, the benefits would be self-evident.

"Right, I need to see which spiritual medicines to give to the little senior tomorrow. I can't forget about this."

Yao Ling, who was lost in thought, suddenly remembered that the demon beasts had already been sent out to hunt, but spiritual medicines also needed to be prepared here to be given to Mu Qingling tomorrow.

With this thought, Yao Ling extended his Divine Sense, intending to see what spiritual medicines to give Mu Qingling tomorrow. However, he saw a scene that made his heart tremble.

He saw two figures moving through the medicinal fields of Medicine King Valley, picking spiritual medicines one by one. Yao Ling recognized the two figures instantly.

It was Mu Qingling and that big black dog. If it were just this, Yao Ling wouldn't be so scared, because he had already agreed to give Mu Qingling spiritual medicines.

So what if she picked them herself? Yao Ling only felt a pang of heartache for the wasted spiritual medicines.

But his Medicine King Valley's medicinal fields were guarded, and there were quite a few guards. What made Yao Ling's heart tremble was that he saw in his Divine Sense that the guards had already discovered the little girl.

And they had already surrounded the girl and the dog. Yao Ling broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had checked with his Divine Sense.

Otherwise...

Thinking of his disciples offending that little ancestor, Yao Ling's figure quickly disappeared from the room and reappeared in the medicinal field.

"Stop!"

Seeing an elder about to make a move on the little girl, Yao Ling quickly shouted to stop him.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

"Old Ancestor, you've arrived just in time. Someone was stealing spiritual medicine from our fields, and I caught them."

Yang Jun was an elder of Medicine King Valley. It was his turn to lead the team guarding the spiritual fields this month. Who knew that someone would come to steal spiritual medicine today.

They had even messed up Medicine King Valley's spiritual fields beyond recognition. He knew he had failed in his duty today and would definitely be punished by the sect.

But it was fortunate that the thief had been caught. Even if the sect punished him, it would be lighter. Seeing his Old Ancestor appear, Yang Jun quickly reported to Yao Ling.

"Grandpa, so these vegetables were planted by you!"

Before Yao Ling could say anything, the little girl said this upon seeing Yao Ling appear. This left Yang Jun and the disciples dumbfounded.

These were the spiritual medicines meticulously cultivated by Medicine King Valley. How did they become vegetables in the little girl's mouth!

Moreover, she called their Medicine King Valley's strongest Old Ancestor "Grandpa." Was she trying to play the emotional card?

"You all leave first! I will handle this matter."

"Yes, Old Ancestor!"

Although Yang Jun wanted to stay and watch the drama, he had to leave when Yao Ling spoke. However, seeing that Yao Ling wasn't angry, Yang Jun was no longer as worried.

"Little Senior, this is the medicinal field where Medicine King Valley cultivates spiritual medicines. You can pick whatever you like, but please don't damage the ones you don't like."

Looking at the current spiritual field, Yao Ling felt a pang of heartache, but he couldn't say anything. He could only say the most generous words with a heavy heart.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. Teacher taught me not to waste food. I'm only picking the ones I like. I didn't damage the others; it's all Little Black's fault."

"But don't worry, Grandpa, I'll tell Little Black to be careful and not to damage your other vegetables."

Woof woof... Woof woof woof.

Little Black: Little Master, are you being polite? You were the one stealing spiritual medicine, and now you're blaming me when there's trouble.

"Mm, I believe you, Little Senior."

"Then... I'm going to pick more vegetables now!"

"Go ahead!"

Yao Ling tried his best to appear calm and generously waved his hand, allowing Mu Qingling to pick spiritual medicines. However, his eyes never left her.

With Yao Ling's permission, Mu Qingling began to pick vegetables diligently again. She didn't stop until she had gone around the entire medicinal field and picked all the spiritual medicines she liked.

"Grandpa, thank you for the vegetables. I'm going back to sleep now."

After picking enough spiritual medicines, Mu Qingling politely thanked Yao Ling. However, her thanks sounded jarring to Yao Ling's ears.

"Walk slowly, Little Senior!"

Mu Qingling didn't say anything more. She patted Little Black beneath her, and immediately disappeared from Yao Ling's sight.

"That black dog is indeed extraordinary. I couldn't even sense how it left. It's at least a Level 10 Demon Venerable."

Watching the person and dog disappear, Yao Ling said with some emotion. Fortunately, he had made a wise choice.

Yao Ling's speculation was based on the fact that only demon beasts reaching the Demon Venerable level could freely traverse space.

A Demon Venerable was equivalent to a human Saint-level expert, a being his Medicine King Valley could not afford to offend. Even the entire Xiling Empire didn't have such a powerful individual.

"Alas, what a pity about all those Spiritual Medicines."

Despite his speculation, seeing the ruined Spiritual Medicine fields, Yao Ling could only sigh inwardly.

Yao Ling found Yang Jun, gave him some instructions, and then left. Meanwhile, Mu Qingling returned to her courtyard and burrowed into Zhao Shanshan's bed.

The next morning, Mu Qingling woke up early and pulled Zhao Shanshan outside. The little girl was naturally very excited because today she was going to see her mother.

Before long, the two girls and the dog appeared in the great hall from yesterday. Yao Ling was already waiting and quickly invited the little girl to sit down as soon as Mu Qingling entered.

"Little Senior, these are the demon beasts my sect disciples hunted yesterday. See if they are acceptable."

Without delay, Yao Ling produced a Storage Ring and handed it to Mu Qingling. Inside were the demon beasts hunted by Yao Tianxing and the others last night.

Although the quantity wasn't large, they were all Level 4 demon beasts or higher, and there was even a Level 8 demon beast among them.

To hunt this Level 8 demon beast, his Medicine King Valley had lost three disciples and one elder.
