Junior Sister must ascend this time!

Before he could finish speaking, the communication jade pendant on Si Mingche's waist beeped wildly, "Si Mingche, you brat! Get your ass back here right now!..."

"If I don't see you by the time I count to three, I'll expel you from the sect!"

Yun Qing: ………This old man's temper is still as fiery as ever.

Si Mingche quickly covered the communication jade and said apologetically, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."

"Junior Sister Yun Qing, I have something to do. I'll find you another day to hang out~"

With that, he grabbed Jiang Mian and ran off.

After everyone left, Yun Qing went to the Hall of Affairs to obtain the identity jade token for an inner disciple.

Yun Qing took her identity jade token, found a room that looked good, and went inside to rest.

She thought of the fragments of the guiding array that the Heavenly Dao had mentioned. These things were scattered all over the cultivation world, but with her current status, she wasn't even qualified to know what the fragments looked like.

As a direct disciple, she must climb to that position in the shortest possible time.

Just then, there was a knock on her door, and Yun Qing got up to open it.

A disciple stood at the door and said bluntly:

"Yun Qing, the sect has assigned a task: there's a pile of manure in the spirit beast garden behind the mountain, and we don't have enough manpower. Go and help."

Yun Qing could figure out who assigned her this task even with a fool's eyes.

His second uncle's elder Zhao, just you wait and see!

She looked up at the disciple and, sure enough, it was the same disciple who had just been standing next to Elder Zhao.

"Do even inner disciples have to do this?"

Elder Zhao's lackey looked at him with disdain, "Of course. The elder said that newly entered inner disciples must start from the bottom and temper their character."

"Okay, I'll go."

After Yun Qing finished speaking, she walked towards the back mountain.

Seeing how readily she agreed, the lackey felt a chill for some reason; he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen on the back mountain…

Yun Qing underestimated the smell of the spirit beast garden; her eyes stung as soon as she entered.

She used her spiritual power to temporarily suppress her sense of smell before she could barely lift her foot and walk inside.

When the garden's disciples saw her, it was as if they had seen a savior. They handed her a shovel and a bucket and then ran away.

"You keep shoveling; this place must be cleaned up before dark. I'm going to prepare food for them; I'll be right back."

Normally, the excrement of these spirit beasts only needs to be cleaned up every two or three days, but for some reason these past few days, the spirit beasts have suddenly been defecating a lot and it smells terrible.

He couldn't possibly clean it all by himself; heavens begone, he's practically absorbed all the stench.

Fortunately, Elder Zhao found him a helper and told him not to interfere, so he could finally go out and get some fresh air!

Yun Qing carried the bucket but didn't rush to shovel the manure. Instead, she walked up to the "overlord" of the spirit beast garden, the Golden-Winged Black Tiger.

This is someone she knows well.

"Sweetie, are you sleeping?"

The Golden-Winged Black Tiger, which was fast asleep, twitched its ears and then suddenly opened its eyes.

Which little brat dares to disturb my sleep?!

Just as it was about to open its tiger's mouth to swallow the little thing in front of it whole, it sensed a familiar presence.

It instinctively covered its rear end, unable to stop recalling the miserable days when Liu Fushu would pull its tail and use it as a hammer, and pluck its tiger fur to use as a vest.

Life is tough for tigers...

Yun Qing stepped forward and patted the Golden-Winged Black Tiger's back. "Little darling, you've been eating well lately, you've gained weight again..."

The Golden-Winged Black Tiger trembled, but quickly realized that the person in front of it was not Liu Fushu at all, so why should it be afraid?

Then, it stood up and let out a beastly roar.

"Get your dirty hands off me! Believe me or not, I'll bite you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yun Qing slapped him, leaving him stunned.

Then came the feeling of being wronged, utterly wronged. He'd been bullied by Liu Fushu for decades, finally enduring her death, and now he was being beaten up by a mere Qi Refining stage brat…

Seeing that it had quieted down, Yun Qing continued, "Now I'll give you two choices: one is to clean up the feces in the spirit beast garden yourself, and the other is to organize the other spirit beasts to clean up the feces in the spirit beast garden."

Golden-Winged Black Tiger: ...Is there a difference between these two options?

Does it have any other choice but to obediently clean up?

No, why should it listen to her?

Why would a dignified Nascent Soul stage spirit beast, the overlord of this place, listen to a mere Qi Refining stage little thing?

"Why should I listen to you?"

The Golden-Winged Black Tiger asked, then, recalling the slap from earlier, added, "What I mean is that I can only clean up my own area; I can't manage the rest."

Yun Qing shook her head with some dissatisfaction. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. Then I'll just have to be blunt."

After saying that, she drew her sword and brandished it at the Golden-Winged Black Tiger.

The Golden-Winged Black Tiger thought she was having a fit of madness, so it ignored her.

The next second, its fur was gone!!!

Only a few hairs remained on the tiger's head; its bald body was covered with two wings, making it incredibly ugly.

The Golden-Winged Black Tiger snapped, "Give me back my fur! My beautiful fur is gone!!!"

Yun Qing sheathed her sword and said, "If you clean up this excrement, I'll give you a hair growth pill, how about it?"

The Golden-Winged Black Tiger nodded pitifully. It didn't want to agree either, but in order to regain its handsome and dashing appearance, it had no choice but to go for it.

It let out another roar, and all the spirit beasts in the spirit beast garden rushed out.

After a brief exchange, the spirit beasts went off to clean up the excrement.

The more the Golden-Winged Black Tiger cleaned it, the more uneasy it felt. Why did it instinctively show weakness when it saw this little thing?

Could it be that she really is Liu Fushu? She's not dead?

Yes, that must be it! She must be testing it by becoming like this. If it doesn't behave, she'll have a reason to send it to the Beast Taming Sect for breeding.

Thinking of this, the Golden-Winged Black Tiger couldn't help but feel smug. With its clever little brain, no matter what schemes or tricks Liu Fushu had up her sleeve, they wouldn't be able to stump it.

So it worked even harder.

Yun Qing nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, then found a clean patch of grass, sat down, and began to cultivate cross-legged.

Although the spirit beast garden didn't smell very good, it was full of spiritual energy. Yun Qing had only cultivated for two hours when she vaguely felt that her cultivation had reached the bottleneck of the mid-stage of Qi Refining and that she would soon be able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that the manure in the spirit beast garden had been almost completely cleaned up.

She got up and walked to the Golden-Winged Black Tiger's side. "Well done, little darling."

The Golden-Winged Black Tiger, convinced she was Liu Fushu, became even more humble, asking, "Then what about my hair growth pill?"

Yun Qing patted its tiger head. "Don't worry, give me a few days, and I guarantee your new fur will be even shinier and smoother than before."

The Golden-Winged Black Tiger certainly understood that this was a huge pie in the sky, but what else could it do but eat it?

Yun Qing looked down at the pile of droppings left by the Golden-Winged Black Tigers and the others, and suddenly, she realized something was wrong.

This poop is so damn shiny!
