At the roadside, some adults covered the eyes of his child to protect him from the b****y scene, which would soon take place.
Dugu Yaoyao looked forward with great interest. The child was even smaller than a foot of the spiritual animal, which was dragging the wagon. Let alone a child, even a sturdy man would die immediately if he hit the spiritual animal wagon.
The driver tried to rein the wagon with all his strength, but the wagon was still fatal to the girl despite it lowered down with the spiritual animal snorting. The spiritual animal raised its feet, which was shod with steel, and was about to kick at the dazed little girl.
Dugu Ziteng accelerated to the fastest speed. He couldn't save the girl without the transport trick he got by chance. People only saw a black shadow rushing in front of the feet of the spiritual animal. Dugu Ziteng lifted the child by her collar and disappeared from the spot.
"Huh?"
A girl's voice came from the wind and the spiritual animal wagon rode off with the dust.
At that moment, the dust raised by the spiritual animals blocked everyone from seeing the situation in the middle of the road. The mother of that child was already crying her heart out with the two other kids surrounding her crying as well. People sighed with pity and sympathy.
"Sister, please don't be so sad. You still have two kids to support."
However, the woman kept on crying. Her heart was filled with sorrow, regret, and pity, which stopped her from seeing anything around her.
"Mom?"
Suddenly, she heard the voice of a child, and two tiny hands were gripping her pants. The woman cried for quite a while until she realized that. She held her daughter into her arms and cried even louder. The girl also burst into tears when she saw her mother crying.
"What happened?" People around them began asking each other.
"I don't know. I only saw a shadow flashing by and the kid was with her Mom."
Several other spiritual animal wagons rode by, drowning the sound of people talking. The convoy they saw was really long, with dozens of spiritual animal wagons riding on the street at the same time.
Inside one of the spiritual animal wagons riding in the front, Dugu Yaoyao closed the door in astonishment and doubt.
"It's impossible." She murmured to herself, "Absolutely impossible."
"What are you saying?" Dugu Piaopiao asked discontentedly, "Your murmur is so annoying!"
Dugu Yaoyao forced a smile and answered hesitantly, "I saw Dugu Ziteng just now. He saved the child."
Dugu Piaopiao, who was reading some book suddenly raised her head and asked harshly, "Repeat your words."
Dugu Yaoyao's face went stiff, and she said, "I am sure that was Dugu Ziteng. He had recovered."
The expressions of Dugu Piaopiao changed on and on. Then she tossed the book on the ground with all her strength, her teeth gnashing and her eyes glaring.
She suddenly thought of Dugu Muyou who stayed indoors all these days. Was it her? How did she make it? She had never heard that anyone could recover from a ruined foundation. But she had to admit that Dugu Ziteng had recovered since it was seen by Dugu Yaoyao. She would never believe that Dugu Ziteng recovered by himself, for he had literally nothing. The only possibility was that Dugu Muyou helped him.
She took a deep breath and picked up the book she had tossed. She opened the book and tried to continue the reading, but she could no longer focus.
Dugu Yaoyao sat silently, trying to avoid being seen by Dugu Piaopiao, for she was afraid that Dugu Piaopiao would bully her.
Five days later, Dugu Muyou opened the doors of Dan Cultivation Room at Youshui Garden. The sweet smell of dan spread around and the maids were attracted. Dugu Muyou walked out of the Dan Cultivation room feeling refreshed. Finally, she had become a Level-Seven dan cultivator.
These days, she had gathered everyone available in her yard to treat the herbs preliminarily while she kept on cultivating dans with twenty alchemy stoves.
Right, she was cultivating on twenty alchemy stoves because using only one stove would be too slow. She staggered her time and energy to all the twenty stoves so that she could cultivate many dans at the same time. During that time, no one was allowed to disturb her except the ones in charge of the delivery of herbs.
Thanks to the help of Yuehua Diamond, Dugu Muyou could keep on cultivating without feeling tired. If someone else were cultivating dans as she did, the person would have run out of spiritual qi and been frothing at the mouth on the bed.
What was more, Dugu Muyou had an incredible amount of source material so that she could upgrade within such a short time.
The first batch of herbs had long been used up with the twenty stoves, which consumed so many herbs within a short amount of time. Dugu Muyou had also run out of gold notes long ago for purchasing herbs. In order to get more herbs, she also asked Dugu Ziteng to sell a batch of dans so that she could have enough money to buy more herbs and avoid running short of materials while cultivating.
These days, everyone in Youshui Garden was busy with cultivating dans, seldom show up before other people in the Dugu Family, which surprised others.
Dugu Muyou felt great when seeing the blue sky with clouds, green trees, and red flowers after staying a long time indoors. She took a few deep breaths and was happy that the air was really fresh in this world.
"I have been working for all these days. Why not take a walk in the court and relax?"
Dugu Muyou thought so and began stroking in the court.
She saw a maid walking head-on to her carrying a large food box, twice as large as a common one. The maid was surprised to see Dugu Muyou.
"Miss Muyou? You come out of your room at last. I... I still need to deliver some stuff. Please excuse me for leaving."
The maid was leaving in a hurry while Dugu Muyou smelled something strange. She stopped the maid and pointed at the large food box, "What's inside of it?"
"They are the snacks for Mr. Divine Fox." The maid put forward the large food box and turned it around, showing the words written on it, "It's bought from Zhenzhuan Restaurant."
"Snacks? Mr. Divine Fox?"
The maid flushed and shuffled. She said hesitantly, "Mr. Divine Fox asked me to address him this way. Ah, I..."
Dugu Muyou's lips twitched and suddenly had a feeling that Blood fox was regarding itself as the master when she was away. Mr. Divine Fox... It was so small in size. How dare it calling itself "Mister"?
Since she began closing herself in the door to cultivate dans, Blood Fox had been bored staying with her. Moreover, Dugu Muyou was afraid that she would be impeded by Blood Fox. So they reached a consensus immediately and the meals of Blood Fox were managed by the maids.
But...
It definitely smelled like roast chicken. How much was within this super large food box? Moreover, it was just snacks. What about meals? How much would it eat for a meal?
Dugu Muyou suddenly felt uneasy, so she told the maid, "I'll go with you."
The maid was about to speak, but she said nothing, which made Dugu Muyou even more uneasy and speed up.
Since Dugu Muyou began cultivating dans, Blood Fox had taken over her bedroom. The moment they arrived at the door, they heard Blood Fox speaking languidly inside.
"Is it my roast chicken?" Blood Fox drooled and said, "Take it inside. I'm starving."
"Yes, Mr. Divine Fox. I'll take it inside immediately."
The maid seemed to be used to the manner of Blood Fox and replied instinctively. She was about to open the door carrying the large food box when Dugu Muyou stopped her by her shoulders. She took over the food box from the startled maid and took it inside in person.
Dugu Muyou smiled and imitated the voice of the maid, "Mr. Divine Fox, your roast chicken has arrived."
"Take it to me immediately. I'm starving!" Blood Fox said in a hurry and didn't recognize Dugu Muyou's voice.
Dugu Muyou's expression changed. She raised the curtain and walked inside.
Dugu Muyou had always thought of herself to be an extremely calm person, but she was still shocked by what she saw.
The floor of her bedroom was covered with white fur of spiritual animals. With the thick fluff on the ground, it would be comfortable sleeping at any corner of it. A red animal of an unknown species with the size of a mature boar was sprawling on the fur gracelessly.
"Where is my roast chicken?"
Blood Fox squirmed and looked at the door. It felt as if time had stopped for a brief moment. It stared at the person by the door and suddenly had all its red fur bristled. Then it scampered to hide itself.
It might be able to hide if it were as small as it used to be. But now that it had become so fat and flabby, it couldn't find anywhere to hide and even its movement became so slow and clumsy. It was virtually a pig if its fur weren't red instead of pink.
Dugu Muyou saw it scampering and sneered, "Roast chicken is not that tasty. Today we shall roast a fox that had turned into a pig!"
Dugu Muyou threw the food box away and rushed forward at the same time. She reached out with her hands in the shape of claws and grasped the tail of Blood Fox at once.
"Whoa... Help... She wanted to murder me!"
The maid waiting outside saw the large food box flying out of the room and then heard the huge bang. After that, she heard the miserable screaming of "Mr. Divine Fox". She covered her mouth in sympathy, but she couldn't help getting closer to the door and peep inside.
Dugu Muyou lifted Blood Fox by its tail to swing it to the air and then it crashed into the ground. She repeated a few times and the fat fox seemed a bit slimmer.
"Mr. Divine Fox, how do you feel now? Are you comfortable? When I crash you into meat paste, you would taste better after roasted."
"Muyou! I was wrong. Let go of me! Oh..."
Dugu Muyou felt better after beating "Blood Pig" and said to the maid who was peeping outside, "Come inside!"
The maid was scared and wanted to run away, but she dared not doing so. So she could only move inside the room while trembling.
"How many roast chickens did it eat these days?"
Hearing what she said, the maid rolled her eyes trying to calculate how much the fox ate exactly. It seemed to be very difficult. She pondered for quite a while and a good idea came to her. She took out a bill from her clothes and held it to Dugu Muyou with both hands.
"It's the purchases that Zhenzhuan Restaurant just billed!"
Dugu Muyou took it over and opened it with a flick of her wrist. The bill was as long as twice her height! On the bill were the names of different roast chickens. Blood Fox also expanded the range of food that it would eat, including steamed chicken with chili sauce, spicy chicken, beggars' chicken, etc.
Dugu Muyou looked even more coldly at the bill while the temperature in the room dropped sharply as if it were an ice house. Blood Fox stepped back in terror and bumped into the bed behind it.
"You are not allowed to eat any non-spiritual meat anymore, especially chicken! Lose weight! Otherwise, I'll disown you!"
Dugu Muyou coldly announced her decision which was like t*****e to Blood Fox.
