Wen Zhi and Xiao Tingyu below were both sweating for her. Putting aside everything else, the junior sister's ability to stir up trouble was truly first-rate. Wherever she went, she would get beaten up for her words.

However, the junior sister is so clever and adorable that it's impossible not to like her.

After all these incidents, Ning Xuan was furious. He deliberately starved the three spirit beasts for two days so that he could avenge his previous grievances in today's martial arts competition. He wanted to watch the spirit beasts tear open Qiaoqiao's throat, rip off her limbs, and drink her blood, so that she would know the price of offending him.

A bloodthirsty red mist flashed in Ning Xuan's eyes as he released the ropes binding the tiger and wolf. "Go."

The two spirit beasts roared simultaneously, their bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Qiaoqiao, as they flanked her from the left and right.

At this moment, the two beasts truly revealed their bloodthirsty nature. Their towering figures almost reached Qiaoqiao's chest, and their bared fangs gleamed with a chilling light.

With a roar of a tiger followed by a howl of a wolf, the spectators below the stage were trembling and had an urge to turn around and run away.

The strength of the spirit beasts is comparable to the cultivation level of the beast tamer. Even if Qiaoqiao had a fine spirit sword, let alone not having a sword, her Sword Qi might not be able to pierce the fur of these two spirit beasts. Facing two wild beasts, her eloquence would also be useless.

The onlookers were starting to panic. Were they being too optimistic about Qiaoqiao? She seemed no match for the two spirit beasts. What if she were torn to pieces on the spot?

"Junior Sister Qiao, why don't you just admit defeat?"

"Exactly, it's okay if we can't win, staying alive is more important."

It's no wonder they felt pity for her; the petite Qiaoqiao standing before the two spirit beasts looked like a carefully prepared meal for the giants, just waiting to be swallowed whole.

As the tiger and wolf approached Qiaoqiao, some people instinctively closed their eyes, unable to bear watching any longer. Ning Xuan couldn't help but smile, waiting to see Qiaoqiao bitten to pieces.

The gray wolf opened its mouth, about to pounce and tear its prey apart, Qiaoqiao reacted quickly, pulling out something and stuffing it into the wolf's mouth.

Ning Xuan:?

Everyone:???

The gray wolf's narrow eyes widened instantly, staring like copper bells, its wolf face vividly illustrating the meaning of "disbelief."

Then it began to chew voraciously, saliva dripping down its face, forming a small stream in front of it. Its tail also began to wag wildly, like a propeller. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never believe that a giant wolf could wag its tail more enthusiastically than a dog.

Not only were the others dumbfounded, but even the tiger standing nearby was stunned. It wasn't until Qiaoqiao smiled and placed another plate of meat in front of it that the tiger twitched its nose, opened its eyes, made the same expression as the gray wolf, and then plunged its head in and began to devour the meat.

The tiger devoured the two pieces of meat on the plate in the blink of an eye. It looked up at the longing-eyed Qiaoqiao. The gray wolf also finished its share, then shoved the tiger aside with its rear end, wagging its tail and drooling as it made a gurgling sound.

Not to be outdone, the tiger growled threateningly at the gray wolf.

While the two spirit beasts were vying for supremacy, Qiaoqiao brought out another plate of meat.

The rich aroma of meat wafted through the air, causing the cultivators below to swallow hard, not to mention the two spirit beasts, whose saliva dripped three feet long, their eyes filled with longing.

"Damn, what kind of meat smells so good?"

"It smells amazing!"

"It's a little embarrassing to say, but I really want to try it."

These words expressed everyone's thoughts, and the sounds of people swallowing hard rose and fell all around. What kind of meat smelled so good?!

Qiaoqiao placed the plate in front of the two spirit beasts. "This is the last plate; whoever grabs it first gets to keep it."

Although the spirit beasts cannot speak, they can understand human speech. As soon as the words were spoken, the two beasts roared wildly, knowing that they would not be able to eat the meat if they did not kill each other. They quickly tore at each other, and the scene was extremely bloody.

Qiaoqiao stood aside, watching with great interest. "The fight is really intense! It was worth all the trouble of getting all this meat."

What do you mean by mythical beasts, spirit beasts, or Demon Beast? They can't change the fact that they're carnivores. She's really clever.

She was satisfied, but Ning Xuan, a beast tamer, was furious. His spirit beast, which he had painstakingly nurtured, was actually tempted by a few pieces of meat?! How could this be!

You must understand, they are all spirit beasts, feeding on Spiritual Qi. To spirit beasts, the flesh and blood of cultivators are truly nourishing foods. Why would they ignore Qiaoqiao and fight over a few pieces of meat?

"What methods did you use?--"

"Young Sect Master, do you also think this meat smells delicious?" Qiaoqiao asked.

Upon hearing this question, the two spirit beasts, covered in wounds from their biting, turned to look at him simultaneously, their eyes filled with bloodlust and warning, completely forgetting that he was their master!

"Oh dear, your two spirit beasts don't seem to want you to eat meat. If you want some, you'll have to fight for it yourself."

What an insult!

When had Ning Xuan ever been insulted like this, compared to these foolish spirit beasts?!

Anger surged into his head instantly, and he raised his hand and threw two poisoned darts at Qiaoqiao.

The next second, Ning Xuan was blinded by the silver sword array light emanating from Qiaoqiao's body. His eyes widened, and his voice became hoarse, "A protective sword array?! You cheated!"

Bathed in the protective embrace of the sword formation, Qiaoqiao felt warm all over. Upon hearing this, she retorted, "You can bring three spirit beasts, so why can't I bring a sword formation?"

Are there any rules that prohibit this?

Ning Xuan was speechless again.

After a long pause, he said, "Just because the rules allow it doesn't necessarily mean it's right."

Qiaoqiao said "Oh," and added, "So the young master knew about it himself."

A chorus of boos erupted from the audience.

Ning Xuan looked somewhat embarrassed, and suppressing his anger, he asked, "What exactly is that meat?"
