The female cultivator's face flushed crimson with rage, her eyes nearly splitting at the corners.
In one go, she had lost two precious medicinal herbs, and even her tamed spirit beast was gone.
The female cultivator gritted her teeth and clutched her aching chest.
"Bastard, may you die a miserable death."
Still cursing under her breath, the female cultivator turned to leave.

For the most part, he explored alone.
