In just the moment it took her to enter the space, there was one more person under the tree.

  No, to be exact, it's one man and one bear.

  A brown-black bear, standing up taller than a man, is now revealing his sharp beast teeth and spraying air outward.

  Under the ancient tree where Lin Qingyao was standing, there was a person leaning against it.

  This man is carrying a bamboo basket and holding a medicinal hoe, looking like a medicine collector from the nearby village.

  That little medicine shovel, where can it intimidate the brown bear?

  The brown bear took heavy steps, one step at a time, getting closer and closer to the herb collector. The herb collector's face turned white in an instant, and he hastily turned around, using his hands and feet to climb up the tree.

  However, it was clear that the brown bear did not intend to let him go so easily. With a burst of force from its hind legs, it jumped forward in a big leap, and was about to pounce on the medicine collector's body.

  The medicine picker's foot on the tree trunk slipped down because of the moss on the tree trunk.

  The medicine picker closed his eyes in despair, knowing that he would die here today.

  At this time, Lin Qingyao on the tree couldn't stand it anymore. She hadn't become so heartless as to watch a helpless herb collector die in front of her own eyes.

  Lin Qingyao jumped down, her slender body blocking the way between the brown bear and the medicine collector.

  The brown bear was not a very intelligent animal, it tilted its head and looked at Lin Qingyao with a puzzled expression, seemingly unable to understand where this woman had popped out from.

  But no matter where it comes from, for it, it's a fresh and delicious human flesh feast.

  The oppressive aura on Lin Qingyao burst out.

  The brown bear clearly felt that the aura emanating from Lin Qingyao's body was very dangerous, but it was hesitant to give up on the delicious food that had reached its mouth.

  "Squeak squeak!" The little wind that had just been dropped on the tree jumped down from the tree and stood on Lin Qingyao's shoulder, baring its teeth and calling out to the brown bear.

  The brown bear saw Little Wind and looked very frightened. Without any hesitation, it turned around and ran away in a hurry.

  Although Xiao Feng was just a newly born demon beast, it was still a demon beast after all. These ordinary beasts had an innate fear of demon beasts.

  The herb collector, who had already given up all hope, did not wait for the imagined pain, and instead felt the sound of the brown bear leaving, carefully turning his head back.

  Before him was the back of a woman, her hair as black as ink, falling softly down her back. She wore an ancient-style black qipao that looked very neat on her.

  The dappled sunlight filtered through the gaps between the ancient tree's leaves and fell on the woman.

  For a moment, with just this background, he looked like a medicine picker, and was stunned.

  Lin Qingyao sensed the gaze behind her and turned around.

  She hadn't gotten a good look at the herbalist's face just now, but now she realized that this herbalist was actually a young man who didn't seem to be more than twenty years old, with dark skin and a somewhat dull and honest appearance.

  He had just caught a glimpse of her back, and the herb picker was shocked. Now that he saw Lin Qingyao's face, the herb picker's mouth was agape, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

  In his eyes, there was no other meaning, only a surprise born from seeing something beautiful.

  For such a simple-minded person, Lin Qingyao's heart always had an extra bit of tolerance.

  She smiled and said: "This is already deep in the mountains, it's very dangerous, you'd better hurry back."

  As she spoke, Lin Qingyao left the place. Her pace seemed gentle, but her speed was surprisingly fast. In the blink of an eye, the herb collector couldn't see Lin Qingyao anymore.

  Until Lin Qingyao's line of sight thoroughly disappeared from the eyes of the medicine collector for a while, the medicine collector came back to his senses.

  He... just saw a fairy? The woman in black he just met, may not be the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, but her demeanor is even more impressive than those big stars on TV.

  It's as if... it's as if a forest spirit.

  He looked in the direction Lin Qingyao had left, for a long time, then picked up his hoe and walked out of the mountain forest.

  Because the wood had been dried by Liu Ling, it burned very vigorously. When Lin Qingyao came back, Liu Ling was staring at a rabbit leg with drool.

  Jing Qingyao is back! Excitedly shouting: "Junior sister, you've finally returned. If you didn't come back, I wouldn't be able to hold myself back from eating first."

  Lin Qingyao smiled and took out a honeycomb from the storage bag, using her spiritual power to extract the honey inside, then sprinkled it on top of the rabbit meat that was almost cooked.

  "Sizzle... sizzle..."

  The rabbit meat sizzled as it was roasted, wrapped in honey that slowly seeped into the meat, with a drop or two of oil occasionally dripping from its surface.

  Looking at the roasted rabbit meat with a golden brown color, Lin Qingyao couldn't wait to go and eat.

  That aroma is really too enticing.

  The little wind crouched beside Lin Qingyao, staring at the rabbit meat with eager eyes. Seeing that Lin Qingyao was about to reach out and grab the meat, it arched its body and darted out, flying over the flames. With both front paws, it grasped the rabbit meat and lowered its head to take a bite.

  The fluff on Xiao Feng's body was burned off in a large patch, Lin Qingyao found it very heart-wrenching. She wasn't heartbroken for the rabbit meat, but for Xiao Feng.

  How long has it been since I last ate? In order to eat, I would even give up the hair on my body.

  Fortunately, Xiao Feng only had some of his fur burned off, and his entire body was like that of a mangy dog. Fortunately, he did not suffer any substantial injuries.

  Liu Ling angrily said: "You actually dare to snatch my barbecue!"

  Lin Qingyao comforted Liu Ling and flipped over the other rabbit meat that was being roasted on the fire, these meats were not as quickly cooked as the rabbit leg that Liu Ling had specially taken care of, but they would be done soon.

  The little wolf's movements were quick, and in no time at all, it had eaten the rabbit legs clean, leaving behind a dry and clean bone. With its round and shiny eyes, it was staring at the roasted meat on top of the fire pit.

  Liu Ling glared at Xiao Feng and said, "You'd better behave yourself! Otherwise, I'll roast you over the fire too!"

  As he spoke, he also revealed a row of pearly white teeth.

  Perhaps Liu Ling's gaze was too ferocious, and Xiao Feng seemed to be a little scared, so he didn't look at the barbecue anymore, but instead looked pitifully at Lin Qingyao.

  Since she had the Spiritual Beast Contract, Lin Qingyao felt that there was a deeper affection between her and Xiao Feng, as if looking at Xiao Feng was like looking at her own child.

  Where can he bear such a gaze now? Moreover, when fighting against Huang Dao Ren, Xiao Feng had made great contributions.

  Lin Qingyao took out two large pieces of snake meat from her storage bag and tossed them to Xiao Feng.

  The snake meat of the Red-spotted Python, although it can't be sold for much money, Lin Qingyao still kept it and didn't throw it away. This snake meat contains a faint spiritual energy, which is perfect for making a nourishing soup.

  Even if I don't eat it myself, leaving it for Xiaofeng and the other little wolf to eat will allow them to grow up quickly.

  The little wind picked up the snake meat with its mouth, but its eyes still didn't forget to glance at the fire pit. It used its tail to roll over a branch and brought it over, threading two pieces of snake meat onto it before tossing them into the fire pit.

  Lin Qingyao couldn't help but glance at Xiao Feng with a mixture of laughter and tears, Xiao Feng was indeed too cunning! He even knew he had been barbecued.

  Liu Ling looked at the red snake meat on the fire and felt a wave of nausea, quickly grabbed a rabbit leg and turned his head to eat, not looking at Xiao Feng and the snake meat.

  "Zī zī!" Little Wind called out to Lin Qingyao, his eyes fixed on the half beehive in her hand.

  Lin Qingyao suddenly lost her smile and sprinkled some honey on the snake meat as well.

  The little wind was finally satisfied, squatting aside, looking at the snake meat, from time to time, still using its almost hairless tail to flip over the snake meat.

  When the snake meat was almost cooked, Xiaofeng took it down and sniffed it with his nose. He didn't eat it directly, but instead threw a piece of meat in front of another little wolf named Xiaoyue.

  As another small wolf lowered its head to eat, it began to eat the remaining piece.

  Lin Qingyao couldn't help but sigh inwardly, Xiao Feng was taking care of his own brother.

  Liu Ling's mouth was filled with rabbit meat, and he looked at his spiritual beast, saying vaguely: "You don't have a name yet, let's call you Xiao Xu, it just so happens that you can form a pair with Shifu's sister."

  Lin Qingyao and Liu Ling are different in nature, but when it comes to naming, they have a certain tacit understanding, both being the kind of people who are too lazy to think.

  It's okay, these are just two wolf cubs with a false reputation. If they were red-spotted pythons, would we have to call them Little Red?

  "Who's there!" Liu Ling suddenly swallowed a mouthful of rabbit meat and shouted loudly, she felt that she hadn't eaten enough, had just released her divine sense to explore if there was anything edible around, but unexpectedly found someone hiding behind a tree, sneaking a peek at them!

  Lin Qingyao, who had just placed her attention elsewhere, heard Liu Ling's voice. Her originally bright and smiling eyes also became sharp and looked in one direction.

  Behind the tree, a clump of grass rustled twice, and then a person walked out from it.

  Lin Qingyao looked at the familiar face, furrowed her brow, and then said: "How did you end up here?"

  Liu Ling's eyes widened as she stared at Lin Qingyao and asked in a surprised tone: "Junior sister, do you know this person?"

  Lin Qingyao shook her head and said calmly: "I've just seen it."

  That person looked at Lin Qingyao and Liu Ling excitedly, then nervously asked: "Two... two ladies... have I crossed over? What dynasty is this?"

  Lin Qingyao's clothes were still okay, although they were a bit old-fashioned, but modern people can also wear them. However, the light purple dress on Liu Ling's body was an authentic ancient costume.

  It couldn't help but remind this man of a popular term in recent years: "time-travel".

  "Hmph..." Lin Qingyao suddenly burst out laughing. This medicine picker was really too ridiculous.

  When Lin Qingyao smiled, the man was stunned, and his mind only had one thought: the girl in front of him was truly too beautiful, too beautiful.
