Blue Feather Magical Eagle, Magical Beast Unrest!

"Ya Fei... Sister, what discount can I get on this Exquisite Face Mask with a VIP Card?"

Xiao Ze touched the mask on his face and felt quite satisfied.

"Little Brother Xiao Ze, since you've called me sister, I'll look after you."

Leaning against Xiao Ze, Ya Fei could feel the youth's strong physique. She smiled sweetly. "I can still afford the cost of one mask. I'll give it to you for free!"

"No! Sister Ya Fei, since I called you sister, I can't take advantage of you. That would make it seem like I only called you sister for the money."

Xiao Ze refused decisively. It wasn't as though he had no money, so there was no need to take something from her for free.

Besides, Xiao Ze hadn't acknowledged Ya Fei as his sister because he wanted to leech off her.

Ya Fei looked at the faintly stubborn look in Xiao Ze's eyes and fell silent for a moment.

She felt a little helpless. The little brother she had just taken in seemed far too stubborn!

"...Then how about this? A VIP Card would normally get you a twenty percent discount, but I'll give you fifty percent off! Five thousand Gold Coins!"

"That way, you won't be taking your sister's things for free, and I'll have satisfied my desire to give my little brother some benefits."

Xiao Ze thought for a moment, then nodded and handed over a Gold Storage Card.

"Then I truly have to thank you, Sister Ya Fei!"

Ya Fei smiled as she accepted the card and passed it to one of her subordinates to process the payment.

Xiao Ze chatted with Ya Fei for a while.

He couldn't help it—taking favors from others made him feel indebted!

Just by calling her sister, he had received a discount of three thousand Gold Coins, enough for two Monster Beast Feasts!

Those few calls of "sister" were truly valuable!

Not long after, the subordinate returned with the Gold Storage Card, and Xiao Ze rose to take his leave.

"Sister Ya Fei, please keep my trip out of town a secret."

"Don't worry. Trust your sister to keep her mouth shut!" Ya Fei nodded seriously, then looked Xiao Ze up and down before smiling and opening her fair, tender arms. "Before you leave, won't you give your sister a farewell hug?"

"Uh..." Xiao Ze was left speechless, not knowing what to say.

Ya Fei simply stepped forward and gave Xiao Ze a big hug.

Unfortunately, it was the mask on Xiao Ze's face that experienced Ya Fei's ample bosom in his place.

Eastern Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Xiao Ze darted swiftly through the forest as a piercing cry that split clouds and stone rang out behind him.

A Blue Feather Magical Eagle was pursuing him from behind.

After leaving Wu Tan City, Xiao Ze had clearly understood that where there were many people, there was also much trouble.

He had tried to travel through sparsely populated places as much as possible.

In any case, he had a rough map on him.

It roughly marked several locations in the eastern Magical Beast Mountain Range. If he followed it, he would surely find Qing Shan Town.

Even in a world with extraordinary martial power, privately drawing a detailed topographical map was a capital crime.

Being able to obtain this rough map was all thanks to the wholehearted help of the sister he had just acknowledged—Sister Ya Fei.

Of course, choosing to stay away from the troubles of society meant facing the hardships of the wilderness.

Rugged roads and difficult travel were one matter, but that was nothing to a Dou Master.

The greatest difficulty was the various wild beasts and even Magical Beasts lurking in the wilderness!

While traveling along the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Ze had accidentally provoked a Tier 2 Flying Magical Beast—the Blue Feather Magical Eagle.

Screech!

A pale green Dou Qi attack descended from the sky, severing every branch in its path.

Xiao Ze suddenly pushed off with his feet, and his speed sharply increased.

The spot where he had just stood was utterly devastated by the wind-attribute Dou Qi.

"Damn it! Does this mangy beast really think I can't kill it?"

Xiao Ze glanced at the Blue Feather Magical Eagle flying overhead and silently ran deeper into the forest.

Sure enough, after circling for a while, the Blue Feather Magical Eagle flapped its wings and flew toward him again.

Xiao Ze deliberately slowed down, pretending that his Dou Qi was depleted and that he lacked the strength to continue.

The Blue Feather Magical Eagle did not grow suspicious. When it hunted prey of this level before, they would usually have been exhausted long ago.

It was somewhat surprised that this prey had lasted so long!

It slowly descended and unleashed another pale green Dou Qi attack.

Xiao Ze pretended to narrowly evade it.

He rolled across the ground in a sorry state.

The Blue Feather Magical Eagle suddenly swooped down, its pair of claws capable of piercing gold and splitting stone reaching for Xiao Ze's head.

If an ordinary person were caught by those claws, their head would certainly be crushed like a watermelon.

Feeling the powerful wind pressure upon him, Xiao Ze remained calm, a faint smile rising at the corner of his lips.

Once the distance was close enough, Xiao Ze abruptly rolled over and condensed a water mirror in his right hand.

Force-Deflecting Water Mirror!

The oval water mirror blocked the sharp claws, only to be easily pierced through.

However, the pale green Dou Qi coating the claws was completely worn away as well!

The Force-Deflecting Water Mirror was a defensive Dou Skill used by Instructor Ruo Lin in the original work, only Yellow Tier High-Grade.

Yet it was a Dou Skill that every water-attribute cultivator possessed, an exceptionally useful defensive Dou Skill.

Xiao Ze stared at the claws inches away from him, his heartbeat quickening slightly.

However, his hands did not pause in the slightest.

Azure Sea Vortex!

A great amount of Xiao Ze's Dou Qi was consumed, and the pierced water mirror in his right hand exploded.

It spread over an area several yards wide, forming a massive vortex on land!

At the same time, Xiao Ze's body seemed to be repelled by the current and was flung directly away!

The Blue Feather Magical Eagle left behind in place was not so fortunate.

The vortex spun at high speed, interrupting its attempt to take off. At the same time, countless water blades lay hidden within the rapidly spinning currents!

As time passed, more and more wounds appeared on the Blue Feather Magical Eagle's body, and the Azure Sea Vortex became stained with a pale red hue.

The magical eagle opened its beak, only for seawater to mercilessly pour into it!

Its eyes were filled with terror as it stared at the prey several yards away.

Hadn't his Dou Qi already been exhausted? Wasn't he out of strength?!

Xiao Ze slowly rose to his feet.

His Dou Qi was exhausted?

What a joke. The Dou Qi he had expended while running all this way was less than what he had recovered!

After advancing to the Dou Master realm, the Dou Zhi Qi Cyclone within Xiao Ze's body had also been strengthened, improving his ability to recover Dou Qi.

Under normal circumstances, the rate at which he consumed Dou Qi might not even be faster than his recovery rate.

Azure Sea Vortex was a Mysterious Tier Low-Grade Dou Skill, but its power was not actually that great.

But Xiao Ze's Dou Qi was of extraordinarily high quality, and his mastery of it was equally exceptional.

Not long afterward, the Blue Feather Magical Eagle died miserably within the Azure Sea Vortex.

Its body had been shredded into a pile of flesh, mixed with a great quantity of feathers in the flowing water.

"With my current strength, dealing with a Tier 2 Magical Beast should be more than easy. With one burst of power, I can kill one outright."

"But Tier 3 Magical Beasts are another matter. Challenging opponents above one's level is always the hardest!"

Xiao Ze fished a pale green magic core from the water.

He had obtained a Tier 2 magic core.

Hunting Magical Beasts did not necessarily yield magic cores.

It depended on luck. Getting a magic core on his first hunt was not bad at all.

"My luck is pretty good. This one magic core alone is worth several thousand Gold Coins!"

Xiao Ze took out his map, leaped onto a treetop, and examined the surrounding terrain.

To his surprise, he discovered that he was already close to Qing Shan Town.

Rumble rumble—

Xiao Ze felt the ground tremble. Looking into the distance, he saw a group of Magical Beasts rushing in this direction.

"Attracted by the sounds of battle here... No, they look like they're fleeing for their lives?"

Seeing the fleeing Magical Beasts, Xiao Ze decided to play it safe and watch what happened.

They were only Tier 1 Magical Beasts, but he still did not know what had caused them to flee in such panic.

Could it be a high-tier Magical Beast?

If that was really the case, then he would have to join them in running away!
