An Extra Little Tail

Unlike the shock of those around him, Hua Qiang finally smiled.

The first time he saw the little girl's eyes, his gaze was so pure that he was captivated.

He then sensed her aura; it was very ordinary, but he vaguely felt that a ferocious beast lurked within her.

The moment she made her move, Hua Qiang keenly sensed that although the little girl was at the Saint Realm Second Stage, the attack power she unleashed had reached the level of the fourth level.

"That's right. From now on, follow me. If you find your master, you can go back to your sect with him if you want. If you don't want to go with him, your Eldest Brother will protect you from now on."

Little Jiu'er shook her fist and said to Hua Qiang Qiangyu, "Eldest Brother, Little Jiu'er didn't lie to you, did she? I told you, he would die as soon as I made a move."

"Um!"

Hua Qiang nodded. "That's right, you didn't lie to your Eldest Brother, your Eldest Brother believes you!"

Little Jiu'er smiled happily when she heard Hua Qiang's words.

Huo Qingtong was also surprised that this little guy, with such a small body, had such powerful attack power.

Hua Qiang led Huo Qingtong by the hand and Little Jiu'er, the little beggar, by the hand, toward an inn.

They called the owner, booked two superior rooms, and then had Huo Qingtong take Little Jiu'er to bathe. They also sent a waiter to buy several dresses for little girls.

Half an hour later, Little Jiu'er, dressed in a traditional dress, came out under the guidance of Huo Qingtong.

Hua Qiang's eyes lit up when he saw Little Jiu'er, who looked like a fairy.

Pretty!

She's just too thin, and her complexion is a bit sallow, but her eyes are really beautiful—so clear and so pure!

Such a person is extremely pure, but also extremely stubborn and principled.

A pure and innocent heart!

For no reason at all, the word popped into his mind.

A childlike heart, once it begins to cultivate, can progress very quickly.

Hua Qiang then asked the shop owner to bring over a bowl of meat porridge so that Little Jiu'er could listen first.

After being hungry for so many days, suddenly eating a lot of meat and fish is not good for digestion and can easily put too much strain on the body.

You can eat after your stomach and intestines have adjusted.

Little Jiu'er picked up the bowl and ate it bite by bite. As she ate, her eyes reddened again, and large tears dripped into the porridge.

Hua Qiang and Huo Qingtong felt a pang of pity as they watched this scene. How much suffering must this little girl have endured?

She harbored resentment and even hatred towards her unreliable teacher.

How could you bear to abandon such a pure-hearted little girl like this?

After Little Jiu'er drank two bowls of meat porridge, her little belly swelled up.

Little Jiu'er burped contentedly, slumped comfortably in the chair, and looked completely satisfied.

Hua Qiang and Huo Qingtong exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

Turning his head, he looked at Little Jiu'er and asked, "Little Jiu'er, how old are you?"

"Eldest Brother, Little Jiu'er is ten years old."

Ten years old!

Hua Qiang cursed her teacher, whom he didn't even know what kind of person she was, in his heart.

In a valley, there lived an old man with white hair and a white beard, whose robe was stained with many red bloodstains.

There were several gruesome wounds on his chest and abdomen, which, despite being simply bandaged, were still oozing blood.

Old Yu was sitting cross-legged, regulating his breathing and repairing his injuries.

Suddenly, he sneezed twice. The old man opened his eyes, looked around, then touched his nose and wiped the snot off.

"Who the hell is cursing me?"

"Dare to curse me behind my back? Don't let me find out who you are, or I'll skin you alive!"

Well--

The old Daoist priest sighed again, revealing a bitter smile.

"Little Jiu'er, Shiwei is so sorry!"

Hua Qiang then looked at Little Jiu'er and said, "Little Jiu'er, your Eldest Brother will give you a name. It's not good to keep calling you that."

Little Jiu'er looked at Hua Qiang, blinked, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"Eldest Brother's surname is Hua, so you can take Eldest Brother surname too. From now on, you'll be called Hua Jiu'er."

"Hua Jiu'er, oh, oh, this name, I can't believe it!"

Huo Qingtong rolled her eyes at Hua Qiang, then looked at the cheering little girl with a motherly smile on her face.

What a pure and innocent child! How can a name like Hua Jiu'er sound so innocent?

It sounds like a very perfunctory name.

But then she realized why Hua Qiang chose this name.

After all, this little girl was the ninth in her sect, which was very meaningful.

"From now on, you'll call me Eldest Brother, and you'll be my sister Hua Qiang!"

"Oh, Eldest Brother!"

Hua Qiang was very happy. After coming to this Sacred Spirit Continent, he first gained a fiancée, and now he has gained a younger sister. He finally feels a sense of home, rather than being a wandering outsider.

Hua Qiang decided to stay here for the night so that Hua Jiu'er could rest.

Hua Jiu'er naturally slept all afternoon, and then had a big meal in the evening, after which she felt her body was replenished.

The sallow complexion on her face disappeared, replaced by a vibrant, Blood Qi glow.

She already had a pretty little face, and now it's even more delicate.

Huo Qingtong was also captivated by Hua Jiu'er's ethereal beauty, and she longed to have a daughter as beautiful as her.

That night, the two naturally had another epic battle.

Perhaps provoked by the enemy, the war lasted a long time, with both sides fighting back and forth. In the end, Hua Qiang had no choice but to surrender because it was dawn.

After another hearty breakfast, Hua Qiang bought a lot of food and put it into his spatial storage. After all, he had a little tail now, and this little body had a belly that seemed like a bottomless pit, bigger than the combined appetite of the two of them.

In order to prevent her from being wronged, it is natural to prepare plenty of food.

Hua Qiang felt he might have guessed correctly; Hua Jiu'er's master wanted to abandon her for this reason...

Then Huo Qingtong summoned the Red-headed Eagle, and the three of them boarded its back and flew towards their destination, a small town.

According to the information provided by City Lord Fei Nanxing, the last time that Blood Shadow Demon Slayer appeared was in that small town, where he massacred the entire town.

They searched the town for clues and, as far as possible, traced the demon's trail based on its remaining aura.

"Eldest Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" Hua Jiu'er couldn't help but Wen Dao curiously.

Huo Qingtong rubbed her little head and said, "A man called Blood Shadow Demon Slayer has appeared here. That bastard has done too many heinous things. We have come to kill that demon at the request of the city lord."

"Oh, do you know where he is?"

"I don't know, but we'll head to the places he's recently been to look for his presence and then investigate."

"I see. Perhaps I can help you!"

Hua Qiang immediately became interested and Wen Dao with a smile, "Jiu'er, how do you plan to help your Eldest Brother and sister-in-law?"

"Hehe, you'll know when you get there!"
