There hasn't been such a desperate time until now.

After Ye Zhizhou finally recovered from the shock, he fed the beast before letting him sleep in his arms. He let Tongtian scan his body, who confirmed that there were no problems. After that, he climbed into the tent to scan the girl who was still unconscious.

[Her body is healthy, but her Wuhun is depleted. She needs to replenish energy. No suitable pills available.]

He frowned and was a bit confused. How do you replenish a thing like Wuhun? Transfer energy? He tried to surround the girl with his spiritual power, but found that the other side seemed to reject this force quite a bit, and her slightly ruddy complexion turned pale again. Reluctantly withdrawing his spiritual strength, he rubbed his lover's furry little head and moved his eyes to the black beast outside the tent.

They can’t stay here anymore, he had to find a way to return home. This big beast… can fly.

The Zhi family was one of the largest families in China, but it was a pity that it had gradually declined after three generations of no geniuses. The current head of the family is called Zhi Shan. He is an Earth rank, 9th level warrior. In the Imperial City of Hua country, where the Black level was abundant as wild dogs, the Earth level loiters the street and experts of the Sky level gather together everyday, this kind of level doesn't have that much competitiveness, and definitely isn't strong enough to pressure the crowd. Thankfully because Zhi Shan normally has good conduct, there are no profit disputes with other families and they have business with nobles in the royal family. These years passed by peacefully

It was a pity that their calm situation was quickly destroyed after breaking the marriage contract between the Zhi family's granddaughter, Zhi Huan, and the Lian family's 2nd son, Lian Yizheng. The Lian Family was a new family that had gradually gained a foothold in the Imperial City during the past two generations. The current head is Lian Wenrui, who had just entered the Wusheng realm for about 30 years. This was the time when their limelight was flourishing. He has three wives, and they gave him four sons and two daughters. All of them had good talent. After waiting for a grandson, Lian Yi was born. He was an extremely talented child, and many other families were envious.

In a place where power is respected, a family's future rise and decline can easily be foreseen after measuring the talents of the new generation of children. Those old influential families have seen generations of their children have better talents than the previous generation. In succession, all of these families extended an olive branch toward the Lian Family, and a majority of them did this in hopes of gaining a marriage contract. At this time the Zhi Family was pushed to the front by Lian Wenrui as a shield.

Lian Wenrui has three wives, and naturally does not want his best grandchild to be bound to a single marriage. In his mind, he naturally thinks that the more wives, the better. This way, there is a chance to produce better offspring. With such inconvenience and the thoughts of the outside world, he secretly sent Lian Yi to a deep mountain to cultivate. He claimed to the others that Lian Yi was in poor health and would not live long, so it would be inconvenient to make a marriage contract so young. The influential families who were secretly competing immediately stopped considering Lian Yi and turned their ideas to the younger brother who had just been born. Lian Wenrui was in a hurry, but since he can no longer use poor health as an excuse, he thought of a different idea. With bad intentions, he picked the most harmless and most inferior second-rate family in the imperial city, and pretended to have accidental encounters and acted like close friends of the previous generation. In the end, he managed to trick the upright, honest and honorable Zhi Family into a marriage contract with him. At this point, the insignificant Zhi family was pushed into the view of the top families, and became a shield for them.

Two years later, when Lian Yizheng tested for his talent, it turned out that he was a Yellow Rank with poor aptitude. The influential families attention gradually left the Lian family, and the Zhi family was mocked thoroughly. In this situation, Lian Wenrui was disappointed, angry but also relieved. Fortunately, the marriage contract was with an honest family with little power and no influence. Otherwise, it would not have ended well and the Lian Family would have lost more face.

Even in the face of this ridicule, the Zhi family did not choose to break off the contract but instead comforted Lian Wenrui a bit, saying that the Zhi family is not the kind of family who would break faith, and that the marriage contract was still valid. When Lian Wenrui heard this he secretly rejoiced and decided to take advantage of the situation. Zhi Huan, with her rank, might be able to give Lian Yizheng a good heir, so he no longer brought up the marriage situation.

After another ten years, Zhi Huan and Lian Yizheng both turned 18 years old. Just when Lian Wenrui planned to bring Zhi Huan to marry his grandson, a help letter from a distant relative of the Zhi family coincidentally smashed the lies that Lian Wenrui was an old friend of the previous generation. Zhi Shan was furious, and he went to Lian family to break off the marriage contract while drawing a line between the two families.

The marriage contract was not something that Lian Wenrui was even concerned about in the first place. Worrying about the reputation and image of Lian Family, he agreed to the abolition of the marriage contract, and also broke off their relationship with the Zhi family. But behind their backs, they acted out a whole different story for others.

Ye Zhizhou, sitting on the back of the black-haired beast, sneered and rubbed the soft fur of his lover. This family is too honest and too easy to deceive, whatever Lian Wenrui said they believed… And at that time, Zhi Huan seems to have just been conceived, and they made a marriage contract before they even confirmed her gender…. This is not just honest and straightforward, it's just too stupid and too easy to fool.

In the distance, the shadow of the city gradually appeared. He stuffed the little beast that had fallen asleep in his arms, tightened the quilt on Zhi Huan, and then took off his big cotton coat and let the black beast land on the ground.

This world is more advanced than the ancient ones he experienced before, but it is still more than a little bit behind modern times, in a very embarrassing semi-modern stage. The means of transport for the warriors are all kinds of high-end monsters that can fly. Ordinary people mostly ride carriages pulled by low-end monsters. From that point of view, since the black-furred beast can fly, it should be a high-level monster.

However, when a high-level monster enters the city, they have to pay the city a management fee and guarantor fee. Ye Zhizhou has no money, and Zhi Huan doesn't have any on her either…

Very embarrassing.

He looked at several hills outside the Imperial City and patiently discussed with the black-haired beast. “Xiao Hei, go look for a mountain hole to hide in, I will pick you up when I get some money, ok?”

The black-furred beast tilted his head, waved his tail, and walked over to lick the little beast in his arms before making a few "wuwu" sounds and flying away.

It seems to have understood… He watched it fly away happily. He rubbed the wet head of the little beast in his arms, carried Zhi Huan onto his back, and walked toward the gate.

The Zhi family had already rushed around that night looking for these two siblings. The family had searched in the city, and then searched the hills outside the imperial city, but they didn't even see a shadow. Just when they were imagining the many horrible things that could've happened in their minds, their little son whose body looked terrible suddenly entered the door with their eldest daughter.

Duan Rong was stunned, before quickly rushing over and took the two into her arms. She patted two times and hurried to see Zhi Huan on the back of Ye Zhizhou. “What happened? Weren't you just going to the beast market to buy a pet? Why didn’t you come back this whole night! Are you trying to scare the whole family to death?”

“Mom.” Ye Zhizhou smiled at her, but his two thin legs shook and trembled. “We really did go to buy a pet. Look at what's in my arms… First take Sister to her room, I can’t hold her for much longer…. call grandfather and dad, and tell them that Sister is hurt…”

Hearing this, Duan Rong was startled and quickly turned to his back to help her daughter down. While telling a servant to find Zhi Shan and Zhi Xuan, who were looking for the children outside, she carefully took her daughter and ran towards the house.

“She has a lot of strength…” Ye Zhizhou looked enviously, and sat down on the ground, rubbing his legs, “Tongtian, the protagonist is so powerful, he is a saint rank warrior and has a pure Wuhun body. But this body of mine isn’t even Yellow Rank. How am I supposed to fight with him over the female leads?”

“Dad?” The little beast that had been sleeping suddenly woke up and bit his sleeve. “Mine.”

Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes and grabbed his tail. “Even after becoming like this your vinegar eating skills is still so strong! Go back to sleep! I'll deal with you when you grow up!”

The little beast tried to shake his tail but couldn’t. He turned back and licked his hand, calling pitifully.

“You're not allowed to act pitiful, you're a boy!”

The little beast was honest and forcefully burrowed into his arms.

This little nuisance!

He noticed a strange aura and heard footsteps quickly approaching. He stuffed the little beast into his arms and turned around. He saw a gray-haired old man and a handsome 30-year-old man with an anxious face running across the steps. He quickly recognized the identity of the two people. He quickly climbed up from the ground and ran towards them. As he ran he shouted, “Grandpa, you have to save sister! She was injured by that bastard Lian Yizheng and hasn't woken up since!” "

With only the vague report given by the servant, the anxious Zhi Shan was shocked, and he quickly picked up his grandson who looked terrible and handed him to Zhi Xuan, and hurriedly headed for the inner room.

“Lian Yizheng?” Zhi Xuan hugged his son, and also started to walk faster. “What happened to your sister, explain it clearly!"

The family gathered in front of Zhi Huan's bed. Duan Rong took back the hand placed on her daughter's Dantian, ​​wiped the sweat on her forehead, and was finally relieved. “She's ok, I gave her a bit of my Wuhun, so there should be no problems.”

The face of Zhi Huan looked a little better. They then looked at Ye Zhizhou, who had collapsed on the nearby surface, and asked seriously, “Xiao Yuan, what happened last night? How did you meet that guy from the Lian family?”

matchalations(.)wordpress(.)com, please read there

Ye Zhizhou, who was secretly using the system to analyze the nature of Wuhun and to scan the physical condition of the family members, put on an angry and sad expression. He replied, “It was Lian Yizheng who ambushed me and Sister! He called Sister a slut and even said that he'd kill me in front of Sister to make her sad! Sister was stabbed protecting me. He also wanted to ruin Sister’s appearance! Later, I had no other choice but to jump off the cliff with Sister…”

“Jump off a cliff?!” Duan Rong’s face became white, and went over to hug and hit him. It was very confusing. “How can you, how can you jump over a cliff! You, you…”

“It's all because I'm useless…” He bowed his head at the right time to pretend to be pitiful and continued, “I couldn't do anything, I didn’t want to jump, but I didn't want sister and I to die… Fortunately, I met Xiao Hei.. Xiao Hei is a monster that can fly! He was nice, and he saved me and my sister. He sent us back, but I had no money to let him into the city, so I had him hide in the hills outside.”

The little beast in his arms began to move and he hurried to stroke him.

“This Lian Yizheng!” Zhi Shan slammed the table and was angered to the point that his face changed colors “This Lian family is just too much! Do they think there's no one in this family?!”

Zhi Xuan clenched his fists. He turned, wanting to go out to find the Lian family to immediately to settle accounts, but was quickly calmed down when Duan Rong pulled him back.

“What are you doing?!” Duan Rong held onto him. Zhi Xuan's eyes are full of hatred, but he had to force himself to calm down.

“You're only a Black Rank warrior, how can you just charge toward the Lian Family? You want your dad, a white haired man to send off a black haired man^[1]? Lian Yizheng is now a Sky Rank warrior with a pure Wuhun body and Lian Wenrui sees him like his apple of his eye. Even if you go, what can you do?! Our daughter is still hurt, our son is still so young, and Dad is already so old! If you do this, what will happen to our family?!”

Zhi Xuan calmed down and punched the door frame angrily, not wanting to talk.

The straight back of Zhi Xuan curved down slightly, and his eyes were filled with pain. In a world where power is respected, there is no way for those with weak strength to go against those with more strength. And this incident was not seen by anyone else. The Lian family can just straightforwardly not admit anything, and the Zhi family will have no way of retaliating.

Ye Zhizhou was not willing to see the pain in their eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh. The world is so distorted and unfair, and the weak do not have the right for justice…

The small mirror suddenly shook and popped up a screen.

[Scanning is complete Zhi Shan: meridians are blocked and has internal injuries. Applicable medicine pills: Top grade Xi Sui pill^[2]. Zhi Xuan: congenital poison, Qi and blood deficiency. Applicable medicine pills: Shiquan Dabu pill^[3]. Duan Rong: healthy, no need for pills.]

Meridian blocked? Congenital poison?

He frowned slightly, and glanced at Zhi Shan and Zhi Xuan, who was being pulled to sit down by Duan Rong, in a deep mood. How did the two pillars of this family have these problems? Was it a coincidence or were they secretly harmed by someone?

In the middle of the night, after the family members were all asleep, Ye Zhizhou quietly got out of bed. He carefully poked Zhi Shan and Zhi Xuan with his spiritual power and fed them each a pill. After thinking about it, he ran into the room of Zhi Huan and also fed her a lower grade Xi Sui pill. He then went back to his room, packed up some things, left a message, picked up the little beast, and went straight to the city gate.

After getting out of the city, he walked to the place where he and the black beast separated. He hesitated and woke up the sleeping little beast that was buried in his arms, and asked, “Is there a way to call Xiao Hei? I don’t know where it went.”

The little beast sleepily looked at him, then put his head in his arms, his tail wrapped around his wrist, the tender voice was muffled, “Mine, don’t look for him!”

This vinegar jar!

Ye Zhizhou was angry, grinded his teeth, and reached for his tail. “Not allowed to act spoiled, Get him here quickly or I'll pull your fur out!”

The little beast pulled out his head and looked at him with grief. He cried out twice, and tried to be pitiful, “Dad…”

…more angry!

“Instead of pulling out your fur, how about I neuter you?”

Hearing the sinister tone, the little beast intuitively knew something was wrong. He brushed back and pulled his tail between his legs, licking his hand and making a tender sound. He then pushed into his hand and arched in his arms, calling out, “wuwuwu."

Ye Zhizhou's angry heart became soft, and he touched him soothingly while sighing. If he can affect him even after becoming such a thing, his days are going to be hard.

The black-furred beast soon came, and Ye Zhizhou fed it something to eat, before climbing up onto his back. He took out the map and identified which direction to go, and flew to the state of Chenzhou, where the Xianwu Academy was located.

Scum male protagonist, it's time to get rid of you!

In the early hours of the morning, there was a sudden burst of powerful energy fluctuations in the main courtyard of the Zhi Family. Duan Rong was awakened by this power. After carefully feeling, she couldn't help but push the husband next to her. "Zhi Xuan, wake up, Dad broke through! Quickly, get up!”

Zhi Xuan was stunned by her push, obviously awake, but did not get up.

Duan Rong was shocked. She quickly opened the curtain that covered the moonlight and looked down. She saw that Zhi Xuan's face was red, and his body was full of cold sweat. There was still a hint of chill from his Dantian.

“This is…another breakthrough?!”

Overnight, the news of the father and son of the Zhi Family both breaking through spread throughout the imperial city, but the family members themselves became a mess after a short period of joy.

“Did you find him yet?” Duan Rong looked anxiously at her husband, who stepped across the entrance.

Zhi Xuan shook his head, frowning and sitting on one side, his face had no joy after the breakthrough.

“It's because we were too useless, to have Xiao Yuan exchange himself to get this chance of both of us to breakthrough…” Zhi Shan put down the letter in his hand and sighed, “I can only hope that the one who took Xiao Yuan treats him well.”

Duan Rong, who has always been strong, couldn't help but shed tears. “It said that he followed the saint who saved him and his sister to learn the art. But with the body of Xiao Yuan… It could be that Xiao Yuan is lying to us. That in fact, there is no saint. What if them jumping off the cliff was also fake, and he got caught up by bad people?”

“Xiao Xuan and me breaking through is not fake.” Zhi Shan looked at his silent son, and he was happy and worried. “If they can cure my internal injuries, get rid of the innate poison in Xiao Xuan, and raise Xiao Xuan's talent by a level, the strength of the saint may have surpassed most of the people in the world… and the saint may have the means to change the ordinary physique of Xiao Yuan.”

Duan Rong gradually stopped crying, and forced herself to think in a good direction. “It must be like this, but only ten years, ten years… it'll pass by in a blink of an eye, and I will wait for Xiao Yuan to come back.”

Zhi Xuan looked down at his palm, clenched and relaxed, relaxed and clenched, slowly sinking his eyes. He will have to settle this account with the Lian family sooner or later!

Cangzhou, where the Xianwu Academy is located, is about five days away from the Imperial City. If you travel with a flying monster, you can arrive in two days. The protagonist had just recently obtained a pure Wuhun body not too long ago, and he didn't have many good props yet. In order to show a modest and indisputable side in front of his parents, he deliberately only picked a level five monster to travel, and its speed was not fast.

Ye Zhizhou estimated the time. He first reached Lancheng, where the protagonist met the two sisters and found a remote inn to stay. After he settled down, he took a top grade Xi Sui^[2] pill from Tongtian and swallowed it. Then he put the little beast on the bed and locked himself in the bathroom with anticipation. The original body is too weak, and it won't be able to grab people from the protagonist without any strength. He can only hope that this product can be used to give some strength, not to mention the talent of the heavens, there must be some strength..

A minute later, a small claw came in from the gap under the door.

Ye Zhizhou sighed and pushed the small claws out. “Don’t grab the door. I'm not running away, and I'm not hiding here to eat good food. After you wake up from a nap, I'll be out. Be good and don't grab the door.”

matchalations(.)wordpress(.)com, please read there

The little paws retreated, and a round nose extended in, “Wuwu…”

His stomach began to faintly ache and his expression became slightly distorted He turned to open the simple version of the shower and began to release water. He then reached out and pushed out the small nose under the door. Although his lover has become an animal, this does not mean that he can completely be shameless, and that the animal’s sense of smell is more sensitive than humans…

The sound of the water mixed with a strange sound, and the little beast that was struggling with Ye Zhizhou paused, then took his nose out, crying out and ran away!

“…Bastard! When you grow up, I'll deal with you.” Ye Zhizhou, whose face was thin, felt ashamed.

An hour later, he collapsed into the wooden barrel, endured the pain of his veins and blood vessels being cleansed, and clenched his teeth, afraid to leak even a little sound.

The little nose stretched in again from the gap under the door, and his small claws continued to scratch the door. The tender voice had a bit of anxiety and worry.

“I’m fine, you be good.” He took a deep breath and calmed his voice, trying to make the tone sound easier. “I just took a shower, and I'll come out soon. You play for a while… Wu!” There was a sharp tingling in his brain, and the gathered spiritual power began to boil, and then washed every inch of his brain over and over again.

Grasping the edge of the barrel, he gritted his teeth and poked the small mirror on the side of the shelf. He struggled to ask, “Tongtian… Didn't you say that the marrow cleansing pill will not affect the soul? Why is the spiritual power suddenly starting to rebel?"

[Scanning… Scanning is complete, no anomalies, please trust the system.]

I believe you as much as I believe in ghosts!

The pain is getting stronger and stronger, and his consciousness fluctuated between clarity and blurriness. The cries of the little beast can be faintly heard outside the door. He suppressed the pain that was about to burst out. He climbed out from the tub and reached out to touch the small claws protruding from the gap under the door. He wanted to say something to comfort him, but he was defeated by the tongue that did not want to listen to him, before gradually losing conscious from the burning pain that suddenly appeared in his Dantian.

BOOM!

Ye Zhizhou barely heard the sound of the door being broken open. He wanted to tighten his hold on the small claws in his hand but suddenly he grabbed nothing. His heart tightened and he struggled to open his eyes, only to see silver hair.

Who is it…

His spiritual power uncontrollably dispersed around the room, and a gentle force suddenly wrapped around him. The pain was slightly reduced, and his right hand that was groping for the little claws seemed to have caught something. His heart relaxed and he fainted.
