Chapter 188: Chapter 187 Fools Can’t Eat

Lingtian Town, the center of the territory, meeting room.

"It’s been almost two months, yet there’s still no sign of Mu Ying?"

"Isn’t she deliberately neglecting us? She arrived at Luoxia Village within three days initially, I don’t know how she did it, but now it’s our turn, and she still hasn’t shown up. The juniors are tired of guarding the territory entrance every day. How will we leave a good impression when the time comes?"

"Didn’t she take some time to level up recently? I guess she’s been cultivating while traveling. After reaching level 6, her Level Progress has been steadily increasing too!"

"Speaking of Zhan Qing, I haven’t seen him for several days, and he didn’t show up for today’s meeting either. Has he grown too confident?"

"The old chief’s health is getting worse. Yesterday, he was conscious for less than half an hour in total. Should the Lord Token be transferred when the time comes?"

"Absolutely!"

For a moment, everyone stopped bringing up Zhan Qing’s recent absences to avoid any slip-ups when he returned, which could affect the transfer of the Lord Token.

......

Three miles outside Lingtian Town, snowflakes fluttered in the sky as the first snowfall of winter arrived unexpectedly.

A long-traveling chicken braved the wind and snow and encountered a young falcon.

Its food for the day was still unsettled, and with its round head, it probably tasted delicious.

With the Cultivation experience she gained during her recent transformations into the White Wolf, she had always tried to blend into the life of a real owl during her journeys, and she had indeed made some gains.

Although not as powerful as her White Wolf Form, she was already much stronger than when she had first succeeded in transforming.

The number one rule of being an owl: if it wasn’t bigger than her, she could fight it and turn it into food in her stomach. If it was a bit bigger but not as robust as her, it would still become part of her menu. Anything even larger was worth fighting but likely a lost cause and not worth ending up in her stomach.

This falcon looked quite tasty.

"Oh no, Fool is under attack again!"

In the forest on the ground, a baby-faced boy received a distress call from his animal companion and spoke anxiously.

"Let it land, and we’ll cover it!" another person prepared a crossbow arrow.

Mu Ying chased the seemingly scrumptious falcon, but found it relentlessly heading toward the ground. She followed closely, only for a small crossbow arrow to fly out from the forest below, aimed directly at her.

"Gungun!" Had she not twisted her body in time, her wings would have been pierced through.

Her evasive maneuver allowed the tasty falcon to dive into the woods.

But the archer had no intention of letting her go.

The second arrow came flying.

Mu Ying had never imagined that one day she would be shot at so embarrassingly with arrows, and the archer’s accuracy was on par with hers.

"Gungun gungun?" Is backing off not enough? Do you think because I’m just an owl, I can’t wield a bow?

Even the falcon was exploiting the situation: just moments ago, she had chased it into frantic flight, but now it perched on someone’s shoulder, squawking at her.

And then there was that person with excellent crossbow skills, always targeting her precious wings. Judging by his outfit and gear, he was either a Forest Patrol or a Wanderer.

Although it was somewhat excessive for her to want to eat someone’s animal companion, hadn’t she given up? Who wouldn’t want to bite into such a plump falcon? It was the food that tempted her first.

Gungun felt wronged (｀⌒´メ)!

"Gungun—"

Until now, it was one arrow at a time, with intervals, but suddenly two arrows came in quick succession. She dodged the first but not the second.

థ౪థ!

"We hit it, we hit it, Fool, let’s go get revenge for you!" Xie Sen saw the prattling owl plummet into the woods and hurried after it.

Zhan Qing put away his crossbow and looked up at the sky, wondering if he’d seen it wrong, but was that owl carrying something on its back?

Of course, he carried things on his back!

Shrunken to the smallest size, Gungun trembled as Mu Ying carried him on her back like a small bundle.

Mu Ying, enduring the pain, fluttered her wings to cushion the fall so Gungun wouldn’t experience the joy of free fall.

An owl falling from the sky is much lighter than a person falling.

We’re not in a desperate situation yet, so Mu Ying didn’t want to easily return to human form and interrupt her cultivation.

In pain, she stood up and said to the model Shi Yin, "Gugu!" Shi Yin, help me pull out the arrow!

During this time, model Shi Yin had witnessed Mu Ying’s self-torture journey.

There’s a tenacity in her bones.

Although often heartbroken and secretly tearful, he wouldn’t hold her back at this moment; to avoid influencing her, model Shi Yin usually reverted to ring form, worn on her body, only appearing when she rested.

As soon as Mu Ying called, Shi Yin emerged, small and furrowing his lips, he did as she mentioned, gripping the arrow and yanking it out forcefully.

"Gugu!" It hurts so much!

Shi Yin threw the arrow aside and stomped on it forcefully.

Gungun picked up the arrow, crunched and chewed it, then swallowed it.

Mu Ying: "..."

That wasn’t really necessary.

She had already heard footsteps, quickly tucked in her wings, and bundled Gungun onto her back again, hiding in a small bush with a color similar to her feathers.

"Eh? It should be right here, why don’t I see it?" Xie Sen searched around but didn’t spot the owl.

Zhan Qing noticed a spot on the dry leaf, "There’s blood here, it should be nearby."

Mu Ying squatted in the bushes like a statue, only her big round eyes staring at the two men.

Gungun also quietly popped his head out, his little paws covering his mouth, daring not to make a sound.

Only Shi Yin, flew above the head of the person who shot the arrow to vent his anger.

Although he couldn’t affect the person, seeing him conjure a little arrow to pokepokepoke above his adversary’s head, Mu Ying still felt quite vindicated.

The two searched around but did not find Mu Ying, perfectly hidden in the bushes.

"Gehe—gehe—"

Unexpectedly at that moment, the hawk suddenly called out towards the bushes.

Xie Sen and Zhan Qing simultaneously looked in that direction, and they stared at each other.

Mu Ying: "..."

Miscalculation, she underestimated the plump hawk.

What should she do now? Should she transform back into human to fight them as revenge?

"Ah Qing, I’m not seeing things, am I? Is that owl actually carrying a panda cub?" Xie Sen rubbed his eyes.

"That’s not right, the panda is too small, at that size, it shouldn’t even have fully grown fur," Xie Sen felt more and more that something was off no matter how he looked.

"You’re not seeing things," Zhan Qing said with a complicated gaze, a panda that could change size at will, appearing here, there was only one possibility.

He looked at the owl huddled up, never would have expected, the person those old folks in the territory had been eagerly awaiting was right here.

The fierce agility previously shown in the air, and now the proficiency in hiding, if not for the obvious panda characteristics, anyone would have thought it was a person.

"My apologies just now, Lord Mu," Zhan Qing slightly inclined his body to apologize.
