The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

"Let me see, which mountain should we go to next?" Lin Du took out a water mirror, looked for a while, and said, "Oh, another person has entered our formation. Let me see, the one in yellow clothes, which sect is he from?"

"...Tian Su Sect?" Xia Tianwu glanced over and confirmed his next target.

"Alright, Yan Qing, take a look at the Tian Su Sect."

As Lin Du spoke, he found a rock on the new territory of the Supreme Sect and sat down. "It's already dark."

Yuan Ye was holding the iron-eating beast and feeling sentimental late at night, "Junior Uncle, why do people call my puppet a turtle?"

Lin Du glanced at it and said, "No, look at this dark-skinned guy, his dark circles are so obvious."

"Who cares what it is? Puppets made with mortise and tenon joints all have one body and four legs, there's no difference," Lin Du commented. "As long as you can feel it, that's enough."

Yuan Ye thought for a moment, then cheered himself up. "That's right, feeling is paramount. Junior Uncle, I'm all better now."

Yan Qing was looking at the path with the leather scroll in hand. "But Junior Uncle, how many exactly are you planning to take down?"

"Five, one person guarding one." Lin Du lazily squinted his eyes. "I can only make sure that the original formation doesn't have any major accidents, so it doesn't need many people guarding it, but for other things, I can't."

Setting up an array is very resource-intensive and requires a lot of tools; she doesn't have that much energy.

"But I can cause some trouble." Lin Du sucked on a mint candy, trying to clear his head. "For example, I could break twenty-four formations and achieve the 'Formation Breaking King' achievement or something."

She rubbed her temples and met Xia Tian's disapproving gaze. She quickly changed her tune, "Never mind, I was just saying. My life is more important."

After all, his spiritual energy was greatly depleted in the third level, and his white hair was probably sprouting out.

"I'll sleep for an hour, and then wake me up to break the formation."

"We need to rest too." Xia Tianwu set up the pot. "Junior Uncle should take his second dose of medicine too."

Lin Du shuddered. "Huh? Didn't you just drink it when you came in?"

"It was daytime when we came in, but it's nighttime now," Xia Tianwu reminded him.

Lin Du lay on the rocks in despair, turning his head to look down the mountain. "Let the Devouring Frog come over. I think it would be nice for me to sleep inside its belly."

And you don't even need to take medicine.

"I'm afraid that won't work." Yuan Ye sensed the position of his puppet. "The Devouring Frog has run into someone else."

Lin Du sprang to his feet with a quick movement. "That won't do, let's go."

The group of people rushed down the mountain, leaving Xia Tian alone to guard the medicine furnace.

Down the mountain, the Guiyuan Sect disciples who had just circled back from another location were suddenly startled to see a giant wooden frog dart down from the mountain and land in front of them with a thud.

"Wait... are there any guardian beasts in this secret realm?"

Unexpectedly, the wooden frog opened its mouth and, in front of the Guiyuan Sect disciples, spat out two people who had been tossed around inside the frog's belly until they were completely disoriented.

The Guiyuan Sect disciple took two steps back and shouted, "This wooden frog eats people!"

The two of them drew their swords and attacked the Devouring Frog.

The Devouring Frog is less aggressive than the Iron-Eating Beast. It was originally made by Yuan Ye as a tool for harvesting wheat and transporting goods during the autumn harvest. It can only defend and cannot attack.

Going down the mountain is easy, but going up is difficult. Due to the formation below, the Devouring Frog can only keep dodging and running further and further away.

The four of them rushed down the mountain and saw a Sky-Swallowing Frog running wildly ahead, followed by two Guiyuan Sect disciples. They kept making sword moves, but the Sky-Swallowing Frog dodged them all with a leap.

Lin Du observed for a while and thought, "It doesn't seem to be in a hurry."

Yuan Ye panicked, "That's my precious baby! We'll need him for this year's autumn harvest!"

Lin Du received the keyword, "Autumn harvest, that won't do, that has to be rushed."

Yan Qing, wielding a large knife, charged forward, cutting off the retreat of the two pursuers with a single stroke. "What are you doing?"

"Of course, we're chasing man-eating...wooden frogs." As soon as Wu Xi finished speaking, she saw Lin Du's ambiguous smile and instinctively felt a chill.

Every year when he received his annual allowance, that face would appear before him like a nightmare. Over the years, he had truly scrimped and saved, frantically taking on sect missions, and saving every penny he had to pay off his debts.

Lin Du always had this smiling face when he went to repay the money.

Lin Du landed lightly in front of the two people. "Gentlemen, why are you chasing after our little frog?"

The two of them stared at the wooden frog, which looked almost like a small, moving mountain, with strange expressions. What did she call a little frog?

Lin Du gave Yuan Ye a wink, "Is our little frog alright?"

Yuan Ye stood smiling in front of the wooden frog's legs, which had just stopped, and gestured to Jin Xuan behind him.

Ni Jinxuan understood and began to disassemble the leg. The mortise and tenon structure was difficult to disassemble, and she had not learned how. With a forceful effort, she managed to disassemble one leg and handed it to Yuan Ye.

Lin Du noticed Jin Xuan's movements in his consciousness, and his eyelids twitched.

The child isn't very smart, but he's very strong.

Yuan Ye's eyes widened. He turned to look at Jin Xuan. He had only asked her to remove a small part. Why did she tear off the whole leg?

Then, to cooperate with his junior uncle, he gritted his teeth and raised his leg, saying, "Ah~ the little frog's leg has been cut off."

Wu Xi: ...Something's not right, something's very wrong.

This taste is so familiar.

Then he heard Lin Du's exaggerated exclamation, "Little Frog is a pet raised by our Supreme Sect. We just let him go down the mountain to relax when we were bored, and you guys actually chased after him and beat him up. Is that appropriate?"

"No...it eats people!"

"That was taking people down the mountain! Do you even understand what 'carrying passengers' means?!" Yuan Ye covered his mouth, heartbroken. "Little Frog kindly took people down the mountain without a scratch. Look how far they've gone!"

"What a kind little frog! You actually broke one of its legs," Lin Du said. "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Another Guiyuan Sect disciple: How kind she is! It sounds like she's almost convinced.

The two of them were so engrossed in their attack that they failed to see whether the wood frog had actually broken its leg.

Wu Xi gritted her teeth. "Uncle Lin, you tell me, how much compensation do you want?"

"I'm not here to extort money," Lin Du said seriously. "Our little frog is the pillar of our sect. If the little frog loses a leg, we will harvest two hundred catties less this autumn."

Another person pulled back Wu Xi, who was clearly being led by the nose, and stepped forward, saying, "Fellow Daoists, this is a misunderstanding. Besides, this thing was roaming around the valley, and we didn't know whose it was. We just thought it was going to attack. I apologize to you. There are always unexpected injuries and deaths in competitions, don't you think?"

"Does my little frog wandering around in front of my house count as running around?" Lin Du's eyes widened.

Wu Xi frowned. "But your mountain isn't here."

"Unfortunately," Lin Du said regretfully, seeing that there was a clever one who wasn't easy to swindle money from, and gestured for Yuan Ye to put his leg back. "This mountain became ours a quarter of an hour ago."

When the two from Guiyuan Sect looked up, they realized that Wushang Sect already had two flags.

Just then, Lin Du and Yan Qing quietly began to channel their spiritual energy.

Lin Du sighed softly, "Since you two are already here, let's prove that the little frog doesn't eat people, it's just a kind-hearted means of transportation..."

The giant frog opened its enormous mouth, and the two people standing in front of it realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

Lin Du and Yan Qing each took one, using a combination of shovels and kicks to send the person into the belly of the Devouring Frog.

The inside of that belly was made of the most durable material, and Lin Du had also carved a spirit-suppressing array inside, making it difficult for the two people who went in to get out.

"So, thank you for going in." Lin Du crossed her arms and patted the head of the Devouring Frog, whose name she had forcibly renamed. "Target changed, let's launch a night raid on the Guiyuan Sect."

After cooperating, Yuan Ye raised a question at the right time, "Junior Uncle, you clearly named it Devouring Sky Frog, saying it sounded domineering, so why is it also called Little Frog?"

"Because adding the word 'small' to anything makes it sound weak, helpless, kind, and cute." Lin Du smiled and took out a reinforcement talisman, sticking it on the back of the Devouring Frog.

Yuan Ye thought for a moment, "Little... Martial Uncle, does she sound weak, helpless, kind, and cute?"

Yan Qing and Jin Xuan looked at him in surprise.

"Isn't Junior Uncle kind and cute?" Jinxuan asked, her eyes wide.

"Isn't Junior Uncle weak and helpless?" Yan Qing asked, carrying a large sword.

Yuan Ye took a step back. Ha! These two people are even more unscrupulous than the royal family!

Lin Du turned around, his smile bright. "What are you saying, you little brats?"
