Picking Up Leaks

Half an hour later, Qin Guan arrived at the foot of a towering mountain range.

Before him, Endless Mountains stretched as far as the eye could see. The dark, silent Mountain Forest faintly exuded a Primitive and Dangerous Aura.

Myriad Monster Valley, also known as the Valley of the Dead, was filled with treasures and fortuitous encounters. At the same time, Man-Eating Demonic Beasts roamed throughout the Mountain Forest, and one careless step could cost a person their life.

Gazing at the deep, boundless Great Mountain before him, Qin Guan slipped inside.

The moment he entered the Mountain Forest, Qin Guan saw several groups moving forward cautiously.

Qin Guan was alone, and he quickly drew the attention of many people.

"Youth, it takes courage to enter the mountain alone, but this isn't a place to show off your strength. Want to join us? One more person means one more helping hand."

A rough-looking Middle-aged Man shouted at Qin Guan.

Just as Qin Guan was about to speak, a cold-looking Woman suddenly said, "It's quality, not quantity. Are you bringing him in to drag us down?"

Hearing the woman's words, Qin Guan merely smiled faintly and quickened his pace toward the depths.

After crossing several mountain peaks in a row, Qin Guan had not found a single thing. Along the way, he had only seen a few little foxes and small gray wolves.

The pelts, Flesh and Blood, and Inner Cores of Demonic Beasts were all quite valuable. Over the years, Mercenaries and various Clan Forces had often organized hunts for Demonic Beasts in the outer regions of Myriad Monster Valley.

First, they could obtain resources and wealth; second, they could train effectively and improve their combat abilities. Thus, many Demonic Beasts had migrated deeper into the mountains, away from humans.

Half an hour later, Qin Guan arrived at an open stretch of mountain land. He had crossed several Great Mountains without finding even a single tiger hair.

Roar!

Just as Qin Guan was feeling troubled, a deep tiger roar suddenly came from the southeast.

Hearing the tiger's cry, Qin Guan was delighted and hurried toward the southeast.

After crossing a mountain peak, Qin Guan quickly arrived in the area where the Tiger Demon had roared.

Roar!

As Qin Guan searched with his eyes, a wounded Tiger Demon in a Mountain Forest ahead let out a furious roar.

From afar, the Tiger Demon looked immensely imposing, over ten feet tall. Its tiger body was majestic and commanding, and powerful Demonic Qi radiated from head to toe.

Before it lay three heavily wounded Young Men. Clutching their chests, they stared fixedly at the Tiger Demon, despair welling up in their eyes. They had underestimated the Tiger Demon's strength. Today, they feared they would die here!

Roar!

The Tiger Demon threw back its head and roared, as though proclaiming the kingly aura that brooked no offense. The next moment, it leaped forward, its sharp hook-like claws lunging straight at a Young Woman on the brink of death.

The Young Woman's face turned deathly pale. Just as despair overtook her, a Youth holding a Wooden Stick suddenly appeared above the Tiger Demon's head.

Bang!

The Youth brought the stick down hard on the Tiger Demon's forehead.

Awooo!

The Tiger Demon let out a miserable cry. Its limbs twitched a few times before it crashed to the ground.

Qin Guan had killed it with a single blow of his stick...

Seeing this, the three Young Men were completely dumbfounded.

After glancing at the three, Qin Guan grabbed the Tiger Demon that had met a miserable death on the ground, turned, and left. He soon vanished into the Mountain Forest.

About an hour later, Qin Guan finally returned to Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. By then, night had already fallen.

Arriving at the Spiritual Material Sales Area, Qin Guan found the Boss who had agreed to his request earlier.

When Qin Guan pulled out the massive Tiger Demon, the spiritual materials shop Boss's eyes widened like ox eggs. In disbelief, he said, "Lad, you really did it?"

"You're not trading?" Qin Guan frowned.

"Trade, of course we'll trade!" the Boss hurriedly nodded.

He swallowed, then could not help asking, "Lad, did you kill this Tiger Demon?"

Qin Guan nodded. "I killed it, but I didn't kill it. You could say I picked up a leak."

Hearing Qin Guan say he had picked up a leak, the Boss sighed. "Lad, your luck is really good!"

"Boss, I'm waiting to save someone. Please hurry!" Qin Guan urged.

Hearing that it was to save someone, the Boss hurriedly wrapped up the Ice Silver Flower. In the end, unable to ease his conscience, he additionally gave Qin Guan a Hundred-Year Blood Ginseng.

Nan Rou's vital blood was currently depleted, and her body was weak. The Hundred-Year Blood Ginseng was just what she needed to replenish herself. After thanking him, Qin Guan left Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

"You jinx! You couldn't even keep hold of the man we just found for you. Tell me, what use are you? You might as well die early!"

Inside the house, Yang Kai Mei pointed at Nan Rou and shrieked curses, looking as though she wanted to devour someone.

Nan Rou was so Scared that she buried her head against her chest, not daring to make a sound.

After Yang Kai Mei returned from outside and learned that Hu Liu had been beaten to death by Qin Guan, her fury soared to the heavens. She brought more than a dozen Guards directly over to seize him.

Yet after searching for ages, they still could not find Qin Guan.

Although Qin Guan had previously agreed to marry Nan Rou, he had once been engaged to her own daughter. If he went out and spouted nonsense that damaged Nan Qiao's reputation, it would be troublesome.

Unable to find Qin Guan at this moment, she was both furious and anxious.

"I think you're just jealous of me and can't stand seeing me do well. You deliberately let that trash go, didn't you?"

Nan Qiao was also flushed with anger as she glared furiously at Nan Rou.

"Don't worry. Young Master Qin is kind-hearted and won't speak carelessly everywhere," Nan Rou said softly with her head lowered.

Yang Kai Mei gnashed her teeth. "Won't speak carelessly? You little slut sure make it sound easy!"
