Chapter 9 Peak of Qi and Blood
In the dead of winter, with continuous wind and snow,
The Xiao family's residence, behind the mountain.
This place is geographically remote and few people come here.
After returning from the testing plaza, Xiao Xun'er stood on the mountain wall, gazing with some resentment at the rugged mountains shrouded in white snow opposite her. That was the famous Monster Mountain Range of the Jia Ma Empire.

The back mountain of the Xiao family happens to connect to the tail of the Monster Mountain Range.

"Why did you suddenly propose to separate and move to the independent courtyard in the back mountain? Do you really hate Xun'er that much? Sister Yue'er, do you hate Xun'er now..." The girl in the purple dress bit her lower lip, a hint of grievance flashing in her eyes, and she thought with some resentment in her heart.

the most important is,

The small courtyard was always empty; you couldn't find that person anywhere, and often for days on end, you wouldn't see them at all.

"Xun'er?"

A pleasant, mature voice came from behind me.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er turned around and saw that the newcomer was a middle-aged beautiful woman wearing a white fox fur coat. She was dignified and gentle, with two pretty maids in cotton-padded jackets following behind her.

"Auntie~"

Xiao Xun'er stepped forward and hugged the beautiful woman's arm, greeting her affectionately and clingily.

Faced with the girl's coquettish embrace, the beautiful woman couldn't help but smile gently. She also hugged the girl back, but when she saw that Xiao Xun'er was alone, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"The ancestral rites are coming up soon, and Yue'er hasn't come back yet? She's getting bolder and bolder. Before, she would only stay away for a week at most, but now it's been half a month since we last saw her..." The beautiful woman said with a frown. Although her words were rather stern, her tone was very gentle, and her beautiful eyes were full of helplessness and worry.

……

……

at the same time,

Deep outside the Monster Mountain Range,

This place is a snow-covered mountain range at the tail end of the Monster Mountain Range. Winters are long, with towering mountains and valleys, dense forests, snow that never melts, sheer cliffs, steep and smooth, rarely inhabited, and often frequented by monsters.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang,
A colossal beast, five meters long and over two meters tall, crashed to the ground with a loud thud, gushing blood. The beast resembled a gray wolf, with a single horn on its head and sharp claws like gleaming scythes. A gaping, bloody hole was visible in its chest.

"Roar!"

The enormous unicorn wolf howled wildly to the sky in pain from its wounds, seemingly trying to make a final struggle.

"Qiang!"

A soft hum echoed in the sky, and a bolt of blood-red lightning descended from the heavens, clanging and flashing a dazzling crimson light, pinning it to the ground and abruptly silencing its roar.

This is a dragon spear, as red as blood, with a coiled dragon that spits out a bright red spearhead, terrifying to the soul.

Immediately afterwards, a tall figure wearing a black cloak slowly appeared. She was very tall, and her eyes under the cloak were blood-red.

"This second-tier magical beast, the 'Unicorn Gray Wolf,' is indeed quite capable. The gray laser emitted from its horn at the end was truly astonishing in power..." Xiao Yue murmured to herself, looking down at the monster's corpse at her feet.

After all,

She stepped forward and slowly pulled out the blood-red dragon spear.

At the same time, she removed the black hood from her head, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with a slightly heroic air, and her long, silvery-white hair, as white as snow, cascaded down to her waist.

She is now at the peak of Ming Jin, with exceptionally vigorous blood and qi. A single swing of her arm can exert the force of ten thousand jin, making her comparable to a dragon or elephant. Although killing second-tier magical beasts is not a problem, and there is a certain risk involved, with the help of her martial arts skills, she can definitely defeat most second-tier magical beasts with ease.

of course,

Among the second-tier magical beasts, there are some with extremely terrifying bloodlines who can fight Xiao Yue to a draw. For example, the four-armed demonic ape she encountered three days ago not only failed to defeat her but also injured her.

It's all thanks to the uniquely favorable environment of this world; otherwise, even if she had honed her internal strength and qi to their peak in her previous life, she would only have possessed the explosive power of a thousand pounds in a single punch. Now it's different.

She can absorb the essence of heaven and earth to refine her physical body and blood. At this moment, with a single swing of her arm, she has the strength of ten thousand jin, which is terrifying. In her previous life, it would have been an unthinkable fantasy to achieve this.

"It's time to go back..."

With one hand gripping the tail of the monster's corpse, Xiao Yue slowly dragged the several-ton monster carcass back the way she came in the frigid wind.

Three days' worth of meat is secured.

"Wow, this little girl is incredibly strong."

Adventurers and mercenaries passing by in the distance saw this scene and couldn't help but twitch their lips, feeling quite ashamed.

and,

It's hard to believe that the other person is only fourteen years old this year.

...

...

...

"Mother, Xun'er, you're both here?"

When Xiao Yue dragged her enormous prey back to the back mountain through the snow, she saw her mother and Xiao Xun'er standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Yue'er, you're finally back. Where have you been lately?" The beautiful woman frowned slightly when she saw Xiao Yue, her tone revealing a hint of reproach and worry.

"I'm back safe and sound."

Xiao Yue smiled slightly and tossed the giant beast aside, instantly raising a flurry of snowflakes.

The two maids behind the mother stared in astonishment at the enormous monster corpse before them, covering their mouths in surprise.

Seeing this, Liu Yan shook her head helplessly. She knew that her daughter had loved adventure since she was a child and often went to the mountains to train on her own, and she couldn't stop her.

"Come inside quickly, it's cold outside. The meat of the second-tier magical beast, the Unicorn Gray Wolf, is delicious; we can enjoy it tonight..."

After all,

Without saying a word, Xiao Yue pulled the beautiful woman and Xiao Xun'er through the door and into the courtyard.

The two personal maids of the mother behind her did not follow her into the house. Instead, they exchanged a glance, then silently took out daggers from their pockets, squatted down, and began to dissect the huge monster's corpse. They skinned it, cut its flesh, pulled out its tendons and bones, and dug out its demonic core. Their movements were practiced, and it was clear that this was not the first time they had done this.

"This time it's actually a second-tier magical beast! That's equivalent to a Dou Shi level expert. Miss Xiao Yue's strength is getting stronger and stronger!" one of the maids exclaimed in a low voice.

The other maid nodded in agreement.
At the same time, the two little maids couldn't help but sigh. Although the brother and sister were both geniuses who were one in a million, the gap between them was also quite large. The brother and sister were only two and a half years apart, and the brother had just broken through to the Dou Zhe level and was hailed by the outside world as an unparalleled genius.

And then my sister was already able to hunt second-tier magical beasts. If word got out, it would be a huge problem. No wonder Miss Xiao Yue is so low-key. Her mother had also specifically instructed her two maids not to spread these things.

but,

This is also a good thing. As Xiao Yue's trusted confidantes, the stronger Xiao Yue becomes, the better they will live.

Yes, like today, they were lucky to have such a delicious meal.

Even soup made from the meat of a second-tier magical beast is not something that ordinary people can afford.
