Wait a minute, wasn't she always so confident and arrogant before?

Moreover, according to Fourth Sister, she has even broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. Logically speaking, she should be at her most elated and triumphant right now, facing a human whose cultivation is far lower than hers and whom she doesn't even like...

Why does she seem so guilty, ashamed, and overly cautious?

He didn't know exactly what had happened behind the scenes, but he had a vague feeling that he could be bolder than before when facing Hua Caiyan.

Immediately, he stepped forward and asked, "Fifth Sister, what kind of battlefield would be most suitable for you to perform well? Tell me, and I'll see if I can achieve that effect."

Hua Caiyan took a deep breath, suppressed her nervousness, and focused her attention on the important matter: "Actually, I am not that demanding of the assassination environment. My own stealth ability is very strong, so I can sneak into the enemy ranks and launch a back attack."

"However, such a sneak attack is only once, so before that, you'd better lure out the enemy's most valuable target and make him the most conspicuous guy on the battlefield. Then, have someone fight him and distract him."

“That’s about enough,” she concluded. “I’ve always operated alone before, and I’ve always done a good job even when no one was covering for me.”

As she said this, a proud look appeared on her face, and a certain confidence was gradually returning to her.

Seizing the opportunity, Yun Chu'an nodded and pledged his loyalty, saying, "Yes, Fifth Sister, you covered for me before, and now it's our turn to cover for you."

When he said this, he was referring to the day when he and Liu Mengshen first experienced lovemaking, and Hua Caiyan covered for him and even helped him push his buttocks.

Upon hearing this, Hua Caiyan, who had just been beaming with pride, froze instantly. Her face flushed crimson, and the slight confidence and pride she had just gained vanished without a trace. She lowered her head and stammered, "This, this, it's not necessary, no, uh..."

She panicked so much that she waved her arms and legs, steam rising from her forehead, and kept denying it, but she couldn't deny it. Her anxious appearance even seemed a little cute in Yun Chu'an's eyes.

Seeing her intense reaction, Yun Chuan realized that he had hit her pressure point.

Whether out of shame or for other reasons, using this as a starting point would leave her with little power to resist, so he continued his pursuit, lowering his voice and whispering, "I will always remember Fifth Sister's kindness. When I go back this time, I will also tell Fourth Sister that everything that was accomplished was thanks to you, Fifth Sister, and everything that was not done well was my mistake."

As he said this, Hua Caiyan couldn't help but glance at him out of the corner of her eye, muttering to herself, "This human, is he treating the fact that I covered for him that day as a favor he owes me?"

Although the main reason that day was the threat from Fourth Sister, and the fact that Liu Mengshen was at a critical juncture in her breakthrough, which could not be delayed.

Ok……

She recalled what happened that day. Zhu Yunqing gave her 10,000 spirit stones, saying that they were handed over by Yun Chuan. So, that day, she actually took his money.

So, the girl pursed her lips, calmed her excited mood a little, and replied softly, "No need, it's what I should do... um!"

She wanted to say that they were even, but halfway through the sentence, the absurd deal of "ten thousand spirit stones in exchange for me to give you a butt massage" popped into her mind, so she got stuck and couldn't say the rest of the sentence.

Yun Chu'an didn't know what she was thinking, but seeing her reaction and statement, he felt that he had almost achieved his goal and could rest for the time being.

This vixen showed a clear acceptance of herself, and she was obviously very afraid of Fourth Sister.

Although I don't know what my fourth sister said to her, since she's protecting me like this, then this vixen won't be a threat in the future.

He relaxed, then called Liu Mengshen and Qi Qiao over to discuss how to create an environment that would help Hua Caiyan if a fight broke out later.

During this time, Hua Caiyan didn't say much. Her eyes were fixed on his figure, but her mind kept involuntarily thinking about things related to him.

Fourth Sister had said that he had made a fortune but voluntarily handed it over to the family, which was why she was able to receive so much this time.

At the time, Hua Caiyan didn't think much about it, but now, as she suddenly recalls it and hears his words again, a thought involuntarily arises in her mind.

This man is actually a grateful person...

Chapter 73 Spiral of Doubt

The moment this thought arose, it startled Hua Caiyan herself. She quickly dismissed it in her heart, thinking, "No, no, this human must have other shortcomings."

She tried hard to suppress the feelings of affection that were rising in her heart for him, trying not to change her opinion of this man so easily.

If Yun Chu'an knew what she was thinking at this moment, he would be very glad that he hadn't been frugal that day. Even though he was still quite poor, he still gritted his teeth and spent one hundred spirit stones to buy a card to erase Hua Caiyan's hatred for him.

Otherwise, he might very well fall into a spiral of suspicion, and these actions would likely have the opposite effect, making her doubt that he had ulterior motives, concocting a conspiracy explanation in her mind, and then making her view of him even worse.

They even took advantage of the battle to kill him.

When someone is filled with hatred and loathing, anything they do could be wrong. His cultivation level was far lower than hers; he couldn't afford to gamble on something like this.

Next, they continued forward, discussing various possible emergencies and corresponding tactics.

Although the little wolf demons were not highly skilled, they were still considered half-cultivators, and their stamina far surpassed that of ordinary humans. They could easily traverse a rugged mountain path of more than ten kilometers in less than half an hour.

So, as midnight approached, they arrived at the wolf demons' home, a small, somewhat barren hilltop.

The woods here could barely be considered lush, blocking out the moonlight and making the woodland even darker, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

As soon as they arrived on the mountain, the gray wolf king Uvi twitched his nose, his eyes flickered, and he leaned close to Yun Chuan and whispered, "Master, I can smell it. There's that pungent smell of those black bears around here."

"Shall we join forces and launch a surprise attack on them?"

He was eager to try, but Yun Chuan'an's attitude was very mild: "No need, we're not here to pick a fight, well, at least on the surface."

He stepped forward, stood at the very front of the line, and loudly proclaimed, "Yun Chu'an, envoy of the Huai Shan family, requests an audience with the head of the Black Bear family."

As he shouted this, he continued to stride forward, giving the impression that he was only saying "I request an audience" to give them face, and if they refused to see him, he would come to see them in person.

His voice, imbued with spiritual power, shattered the tranquility of the forest, startling a flock of sleeping crows. The Black Bear Clan sentries, who had been dozing against the trees, were jolted awake by the sound. Startled, they grabbed their long-handled machetes and rushed towards him, shouting, "Who? Who are you? Stand still!"

Yun Chu'an couldn't help but wonder if these guys were deaf or brain-dead. He had already introduced himself, yet they still asked such a question.

His gaze swept across the front, and from the dark forest, about seven or eight creatures that looked like black bears standing upright, holding their long-handled machetes, surrounded him from behind the trees.

At midnight, these enormous, hairy, and heavy humanoid monsters emerge from the dark forest; a timid person would likely be terrified.

However, Yun Chu'an only glanced at them and used his "Qi Observation Technique" to see that these black bears were just minor demons at the first or second level of Qi Refining, and posed no threat at all.

He took another step forward, proactively revealing his Qi Refining Level 4 cultivation: "You are not qualified to speak to me. Let your leader come out and see me!"

As he spoke, the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy immediately made the black bear cultivators who had surrounded him hesitate, realizing that the person before them was beyond their ability to deal with.

They began to retreat, roaring and calling for their leader. Soon, a much larger black bear, nearly three meters tall, strode over, carrying a large cleaver in his paws. He said in a deep voice, "The patriarch has ordered that the mountain gates be closed for the next few days, and no one will be seen. Please return!"

Yun Chu'an gave a signal to the people behind him, and the Gray Wolf King Uvi understood. He jumped out and angrily cursed, "You bunch of bears, you trespassed into our mountain and drove us away. Now you think you can get away with it with just a 'see you'?"

"What goes around comes around. Think you can get away with this? Let me tell you, it's not that simple!"

It bared its teeth and revealed its ferocious nature, as if it wanted these black bears to pay for their blood debts.

In response, Yun Chu'an immediately shouted angrily, "Shut up! Get out of here, Wuwei. They are guests. As long as they can explain things clearly, return the mountain, and make some compensation, that's enough. How can you so easily call for war?"

Uvi immediately stepped back, then looked at the black bear ahead and said, "Please take us there to see your 'patriarch'."

He deliberately emphasized the word "head of the family," clearly indicating that he did not believe this would be the true head of the Black Bear family.

The fourth sister wrote in his pamphlet that the head of the Black Bear family had adopted the surname Qi and the given name Xiong. He was a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and had long since established his own fixed mountain stronghold, much earlier than the Huai Mountain family.

Such a cultivator wouldn't come to rob a few impoverished wolf demons' barren mountain peaks; he would stay on his own mountain to prevent outsiders from stealing his chickens.

His insistence caused Commander Xiong to break out in a cold sweat and feel immense pressure.

Even under these circumstances, he still insisted, "No, everyone please go back, otherwise, we will not be polite."

Yun Chu'an chuckled softly, then said, "He's loyal enough, but there's nothing we can do about it. Guangzhi, go up there and use your method to get the other party out!"

Behind him, the Fire Blade Wolf, who had just broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining today and was brimming with confidence, was not afraid to fight. Even though he did not know the opponent's cultivation level, he was not afraid at all. He raised his double-edged scimitar and leaped into the air. His body was as light as a bird as he sped towards Commander Xiong in front of him.

"Seek death!"

The latter also let out a low growl, threw the large cleaver in its hand aside, its body grew larger, revealing its true form. It quickly transformed into a giant black bear comparable to an elephant, raised its claws, and began to fight.

The moment this guy moved, his cultivation level was revealed; he was also at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

However, his movements were rather clumsy, while Guangzhi was much more agile and nimble. When the former swung his claws down, the latter only needed to roll to the side to dodge and escape completely. Then he swung his flaming double-edged scimitar and kept slashing at the giant bear.

Chapter 74 Don't Eat My Dad!

The flames on the blade quickly ignited the bear's fur, turning him into a smoldering fire bear. Clearly, against Guangzhi, who was proficient in human weapons, martial arts, and magic, this bear, though capable of easily shattering boulders with a single tap, was still inevitably at a disadvantage.

Around them, the seven or eight bear demons at the first or second level of Qi Refining also grabbed their weapons and charged forward, howling. Although they were far fewer in number than the twenty or so wolf demons, they were of superior quality. There were three at the second level of Qi Refining, while the wolf demons only had one wolf leader at the second level.

Knowing that his wolf cubs were no match for the enemies, the Gray Wolf King Uvi was eager to try, but Yun Chuan reached out and stopped him.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals; now is not the time for him to make his move.

Looking at the seven or eight bear-clan cultivators in front of him, he was eager to try it out. He wanted to take this opportunity to test the power of his new spell!

He immediately raised his head, facing the moon that was faintly visible through the gaps in the leaves, and let out a long, drawn-out wolf howl: "Howl—"

Behind him, the wolf demons who were still intimidated by the black bears immediately perked up their ears and their eyes glowed with a ghostly green light upon hearing his voice. They also raised their heads and howled at the sky.

The sound excited them, their blood seemed to be burning with excitement, and they no longer had any fear in their hearts. They brandished their steel knives and stepped forward to fight with the bear demons.

Many of them had not even reached the first level of Qi Refining, yet they were all surprisingly confident, as if they were not afraid of pain and fought the enemy head-on. Behind them, the wolf demons holding short bows lit their arrows and fired them one after another, almost hitting the target every time. Moreover, once they hit, the bear demons' thick fur would burst into flames.

The bear demons had assumed these wolf demons would be as easily defeated as before, but once they engaged in combat, they discovered that their attacks were incredibly painful, causing them to stumble backward repeatedly.

Moreover, these guys seemed fearless, and my attacks couldn't kill them as easily as before!

On the contrary, now that their bodies were set ablaze, the intense pain caused them to wail loudly involuntarily. Several bear demons at the second level of Qi Refining were even forced into a disadvantageous situation!

Yun Chu'an looked at the scene before him and nodded slightly with satisfaction. "Very good. The spell produced by the system is truly effective. With just one howl, these little wolf demons can even fight against opponents one level higher."

Moreover, the howls of these twenty-odd wolf demons made his own emotions and spiritual power feel as if they were about to ignite with excitement.

Ah, I wonder what level I could reach if I went all out now.

There wasn't even a suitable meat punching bag for me to test my own weight...

The thought had barely formed in his mind when a roar of a giant bear suddenly echoed from afar: "Damn it, I should have fought to the death that day and killed you all!"

Yun Chu'an snapped out of his daze and looked into the distance, where he saw a huge black bear, standing five or six meters tall, roaring as it charged toward him.

He smashed through several giant trees along the way. Trees as thick as a person's embrace were easily broken like toothpicks in front of him, posing no obstacle whatsoever.

His massive body charged into the battlefield, heading straight for the Gray Wolf King, Uvi. Watching the surging spiritual energy emanating from him, Yun Chu'an felt his heart skip a beat.

Qi Refining Level 6!

The same cultivation level as Sixth Sister!

However, the few of us weren't so bad after all...

"Uwe, let's go!"

He shouted, and taking advantage of the strong effect of "Howling Wolves at the Moon," he leaped forward and took the initiative to meet the black bear.

Behind him, the Grey Wolf King Uvi was also itching to fight, but he was forced to do so by orders. Now that he had received the order, he could no longer resist. He roared and charged forward, his body growing rapidly to the size of a giant wolf, the size of a male elephant, and took the initiative to meet the terrifying giant black bear.

He shouldn't have been a match for the latter, after all, his cultivation level was one level lower, and he wasn't proficient in any outstanding supernatural abilities or techniques.

However, now that he has the buff, he is extremely excited and fearless of pain. Relying on his large size, he charges to the front line to withstand the pain.

The giant black bear standing upright raised its massive paw, larger than a cartwheel, and slammed it down on the gray wolf king. As it beat him, its eyes turned bloodshot, and it roared loudly in a simple, honest voice, "Father is kind and benevolent, and he spared your lives. Not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you also bring outsiders back to seek revenge!"

"Damn it, you heartless bastards, you all deserve to die!"

As Uvi was being beaten, he retorted, "I was originally a wolf, and now I'm a dog of the Huai Shan family. Wolf-hearted and dog-lunged, that's me!"

As he spoke, he bit back at the bear demon's belly, tearing off a mouthful of black fur.

This further enraged the creature, drawing the black bear's attention entirely to him. So Yun Chu'an circled behind the creature and used his newly learned movement techniques and increasingly skillful methods to bombard it!

With eighteen explosive tags ignited simultaneously, he no longer needed to be as cautious as he was on the night he fought the Gray Wolf King, constantly using "shrinking the earth to an inch" to create a gap of tens of meters, which was both energy-consuming and ineffective.

He could have easily bombarded the bear from right next to it. Both were cultivators, using spiritual power rather than their physical bodies to move, so the black bear's massive body and heavy flesh actually made it, as a cultivator with higher cultivation, somewhat slower than Yun Chu'an.

Not to mention, his attention was entirely focused on the gray wolf king in front of him, and he couldn't notice him at all!

Boom boom boom——

A series of explosions rang out, followed by a miserable howl from the enormous black bear. It had thick skin, abundant fur, and high cultivation, but lacked naturally sturdy scales, hadn't specifically practiced protective spells, and wore no armor or protective magical artifacts, meaning its defensive capabilities were extremely limited.

Even if the opponent's blood and energy are as strong as the sea, as long as he can break through the defense, Yun Chuan is not afraid of losing!

A barrage of over a dozen explosive tags bombarded the bear demon, causing it immense pain. Yet, thanks to its abundant stamina, it remained standing on the battlefield, its two sharp claws lashing out repeatedly, its roar never ceasing: "Die! Die, all of you! I will not let you take my father's gall!"

His roar sounded like incoherent ramblings, at first glance like the ravings of a fool. But even a fool would probably have a reason for shouting like that.

Chapter 75 Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Cultivator, Qi Xiong

Yun Chu'an kept a close watch, unleashing another round of explosive tags. Looking ahead, he was immediately horrified. The Gray Wolf King, Uvi, with his massive body and the buff he had just given himself, was trying to hold his own, but it seemed he couldn't withstand the attack. The black bear had almost killed him in just a few swipes!

This bear might not be very clear-headed, lacking excellent footwork and agility, but its single-mindedness has its advantages; its strength is truly immense!

This is a crushing numerical victory!
