"Thank you for saving me!" Yao Yue immediately thanked Tang Linfeng and Tang Yan.
Tang Yan interrupted, "Who said we were saving you? We were saving Little Demon Monkey!"
After saying that, she looked at Little Six, who was standing beside Yao Yue. Her eyes shone brightly as she said, "Little monkey, why don't you follow me? I can feed you ki stones and demon cores every day."
After saying that, she took out a few fire ki stones and a demon core and waved them at Xiao Liuzi.
Xiao Liuzi's eyes lit up. It immediately squeaked and pounced at Tang Yan, trying to snatch the fire ki stones and demon cores.
However, Tang Yan seemed to be prepared for this. Her figure flashed and she dodged Xiao Liuzi's attack.
"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry. If you agree to follow me, I'll give them to you. What do you think?" Tang Yan said with a crafty smile.
Yao Yue, Guan Changyun, and Zhang Mengfei were also looking at Xiao Liuzi, waiting for its decision.
Xiao Liuzi, you have to hold on! Yao Yue prayed in his heart.
Although Xiao Liuzi had been following him since the beginning, it was obvious that it wanted the fire ki stones and demon cores very much. There was no guarantee that it would be lured away by Tang Yan.
If a great demon wanted to advance to the Xiantian Yuan Monarch realm, the fastest way was to devour King-class demon cores.
Yao Yue did not have the ability to find demon cores for Xiao Liuzi yet.
Xiao Liuzi looked at Yao Yue, then at Tang Yan. In the end, it nodded at Tang Yan and hopped towards her.
Little Black, who could not stand Xiao Liuzi's behavior, howled at the sky, and looked at Xiao Liuzi with disgust.
"Hmm? This little black horse is quite intelligent. Why don't you and the little demon monkey follow me? I'll take good care of the two of you!" Tang Yan's gaze fell upon Little Black, and her beautiful eyes shone brightly as she spoke.
Xiao Hei was a man of character. After glaring at Tang Yan a few times, he let out a long sigh. Then, he walked over to Yao Yue's feet and gently rubbed himself against Yao Yue's body to show his loyalty.
The fact that Little Blackie did not betray Yao Yue comforted him. He caressed Little Blackie's forehead and said, "Little Blackie is still the best!"
He looked at Xiao Liuzi. There wasn't much hatred in his eyes, only reluctance!
He had been with Xiao Liuzi for almost a year. Xiao Liuzi had helped him a lot, so he was very grateful to it.
Now that it had to choose a new master, he felt very sad, but he couldn't say anything. After all, it didn't owe him anything!
"This ingrate is really despicable!" Guan Changyun couldn't help but curse.
Zhang Mengfei looked at Tang Yan and said unhappily, "Miss, do you think it's reasonable to snatch someone else's demonic beast?
You may have saved us, but you can't kidnap my big brother's demon monkey! "
"Hmph, a fine bird chooses a good tree to nest in. Don't you understand this principle?
This little demon monkey clearly has a good eye for talent, so it chose to follow me. What do you know? "Tang Yan said proudly.
Then, she tossed a fire origin stone to Xiao Liuzi and said, "Little demon monkey, this is your reward. I will definitely nurture you into an emperor-grade demon monkey. Don't worry!"
Little Six seemed to have really given in to Tang Yan. It opened its mouth and caught the Fire Yuan Stone in its mouth. In a few bites, it swallowed the stone whole.
Xiao Liuzi still hadn't had its fill, so it started asking Tang Yan for more origin stones.
Seeing how obedient Xiao Liuzi was to Tang Yan, Yao Yue was extremely disappointed.
"I hope you can treat Xiao Liuzi well," Yao Yue said with a bitter smile. Then, he turned to Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei and said, "Second Bro, Third Bro, let's go!"
Yao Yue didn't want to stay here any longer. If he was strong enough to challenge Tang Yan, if he had a large number of origin stones and demon cores, would Xiao Liuzi betray him?
"I must become strong. I must become a true Yuan Master!" Yao Yue clenched his fists and shouted in his heart.
Yao Yue didn't resent Xiao Liuzi or Tang Yan. He knew that this was all because he wasn't strong enough.
He knew that only when he was strong enough would he be able to control everything that belonged to him. Only then would he not allow others to take away everything that belonged to him.
"A gentleman doesn't steal from others. Yan 'er, stop messing around. Return this little monkey demon to this little brother," Tang Linfeng persuaded. He was a kind and forgiving old man.
"Master, I'm a little girl, not a gentleman. Moreover, this little monkey demon chose to follow me. If it wants to follow him again, I won't stop it!"
Tang Yan raised her chin proudly. Then, she said to Xiao Liuzi, "Come here, little monkey demon. Let me hug you!"
Xiao Liuzi squeaked and jumped into Tang Yan's arms. It nestled in her bosom and even rubbed itself against her chest mischievously to show its intimacy.
Guan Zhangyun caught a glimpse of this scene. His blood pressure instantly soared, and blood gushed out of his nose.
"Second Bro, what's wrong?
Why is your nose bleeding? "Zhang Mengfei asked in concern as he looked at Guan Changyun.
Yao Yue also looked at Guan Changyun and said, "Second Bro, did you get hurt earlier? Quickly sit down and treat your injuries."
Guan Changyun quickly turned around and covered his nose awkwardly. "No, I'm fine. I was just angry at Xiao Liuzi for doing that and got too agitated. That's why I ended up like this."
"Damn it, this Xiao Liuzi really knows how to take advantage of me. If only I was the one touching it!" Guan Changyun cursed inwardly.
"It's good that you're fine. Let's go, then," Yao Yue said, shaking his head.
He looked at Xiao Liuzi reluctantly before turning around and leaving the place.
Tang Yan was very pleased with herself. A satisfied smile hung on her face as she looked at Yao Yue. For some reason, she felt a little embarrassed.
Hmph, you can only blame yourself for not being able to keep the little monkey here! Tang Yan snorted inwardly.
Just as her attention was diverted, Little Six suddenly moved in her arms. Its monkey claws swiftly snatched the Demon Core and the few pieces of Fire Primordial Stones from Tang Yan's hands. Then, it quickly ran in Yao Yue's direction.
"Ah, little demon monkey, what are you doing?!" Tang Yan was startled. She didn't understand what was going on.
Yao Yue and the others hadn't gone far when they heard Tang Yan's cry. They all turned around to look.
Xiao Liuzi was running towards them as fast as it could. In a few blinks of an eye, it jumped back onto Yao Yue's shoulder.
"Boss, I lied to her. Look, I got these good things!" Xiao Liuzi revealed a cunning look as it explained to Yao Yue.
Yao Yue instantly burst into laughter when he saw Xiao Liuzi's reaction. "Haha, I knew you were a sly fox. But well done. Boss didn't dote on you in vain!"
Guan Changyun laughed as well, "What a sly fox. You actually tricked that lady and even took advantage of her. You're quite something!"
Zhang Mengfei gave a thumbs up and said, "Good, very good. Xiao Liuzi is so humane. I also want to find a demon beast like that to follow me in the future!"
Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei didn't know what Xiao Liuzi was talking about, but when they saw how it proudly waved the demon cores and fire origin stones in its paws, they knew that it was lying to Tang Yan.
Tang Yan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She rushed towards Yao Yue and shouted at Xiao Liuzi, "Little monkey, come over here!"
Xiao Liuzi turned around and swallowed its tongue. After making a funny face, it handed the items to Yao Yue. It had no intention of absorbing them yet.
Yao Yue caressed Xiao Liuzi and smiled at Tang Yan, "Miss, you said that as long as Xiao Liuzi is willing to follow me, you can't make things difficult for it. Your master can vouch for us, right?"
Yao Yue knew that this old man and young girl were good people. They wouldn't kill people for no reason. Otherwise, they wouldn't have saved them. Therefore, he wasn't afraid of Tang Yan.
"I-I, so what if I said that? Ask it to return the demon cores and fire origin stones to me. Otherwise, I won't allow it to follow you!" Tang Yan said with a flushed face.
Tang Yan was furious, but she didn't want to take them by force.
Her master definitely wouldn't allow her to do so.
"Uh, aren't these the things you gave to Xiao Liuzi?
Aren't you embarrassed to take them back?
That's too degrading! "Yao Yue said.
"I …" Tang Yan was speechless. She could only stomp her feet to vent her anger.
Damn it! If master wasn't here, I would definitely teach you a lesson! Tang Yan thought to herself.
Tang Linfeng smiled and said, "Hehe, I told you that once a demon beast recognizes a master, it's hard to make them change their mind. Demons are much more loyal than humans. However, this little monkey is quite cunning!
Yan 'er, forget it. You won't lose anything anyway! "
Yao Yue looked at Tang Linfeng gratefully. He had a good impression of the old man.
No matter how willful Tang Yan was, she couldn't go against her master's wishes. She pouted and said, "You're lucky!
That damned monkey isn't cute at all! "
Humans were like that. They would belittle things they couldn't get.
Tang Yan was throwing a tantrum like a little girl.
"Thank you, sir!
We'll take our leave now! "Yao Yue said after bowing slightly to Tang Linfeng.
"Hehe, young friend, there's no need to rush. I still have some things to discuss with you!" Tang Linfeng smiled.
"What do you need, sir?" Yao Yue asked.
"Can you find some clues about this stone mountain?" Tang Linfeng went straight to the point.
Yao Yue paused for a moment, then pretended to be confused and said, "Sir, what do you mean?
I don't understand! "
"Haha, you're confused, aren't you? You went to that mountain to observe the terrain, and the person I killed asked you to tell me the location of the ki vein. You know how to search for the ki vein, right?" Tang Linfeng said with a laugh.
After being exposed by Tang Linfeng, Yao Yue's face revealed traces of embarrassment.
Just as he was about to say something, Tang Yan sneered and said, "Master, how can you believe that? How can he know how to search for the ki vein with his strength? In our sect, only Ma —"
Before Tang Yan could finish, Tang Linfeng scolded her, "Yan 'er, I didn't ask you!"
