Chapter 48: Odd, Too Odd!“How talkative!”
Lou Qianxue frowned and went behind the unruly girl as fast as lightning. Then she gave her a knifehand strike, knocking her unconscious.
“What do you want?” Li Wu"s expression drastically changed.
Li Wen pulled out his weapon. He was giving Lou Qianxue a very hostile look.
“Nothing much. I just knocked her unconscious. But if she continues speaking like that, I"m afraid I might not be able to hold it in. I might kill her.” Lou Qianxue"s face did not show a guilty expression. It did not seem she felt that she was in the wrong at all.
Li Wen and Li Wu felt a little discomfort in their heart, but the two brothers were injured. They needed Lou Qianxue to protect them in the upcoming journey, so they had to keep their anger in.
Li Wen carried the unruly girl. Then, they all went towards the place that they had planned to meet Li Bo at.
Along the way, Li Wu roughly told Qianxue about their situation.
He revealed that the unruly girl was called Li Wei. She was the First Miss of the Li Family of Liuyun Prefecture.
The reason that she had appeared here was that a few days ago, she had seen her nemesis capturing a very pretty and adorable spiritual pet in Liuyun prefecture. So, it made her want to get an even better one.
In the Xuantian continent, beasts that had been tamed by humans were called spiritual pets. In the entire Liuyun prefecture, the Qingyun Mountain Range had the most number of spiritual beasts. So, the group had picked this place.
This time, four of them had come.
The most skilled Li Bo walked in front, exploring the path the whole time. The juniors waited for information behind.
As for the encounter with the grizzly bear, it was an accident!
They had initially seen a baby cub that looked silly and adorable. After just a glance, Li Wei had fallen in love with it. All of them captured it forcefully, wanting to tame it, but, who knew, the cub was very stubborn. It did not show Li Wei face and started scratching her soon.
Li Wei had always been unruly and rebellious. She was domineering, so, naturally, she would not allow herself to get bullied by a tiny beast. In the heat of the moment, she beat the baby cub to death. That was the event that had triggered the arrival of the big grizzly bear.
Lou Qianxue did not speak upon hearing that. If she were to say something, it would be that with such a personality, if it weren"t for the protection of the Li Family, who knew how many times Li Wei would have died?
Soon, they encountered another beast.
The two brothers Li Wen and Li Wu were injured. Lou Qianxue wanted to train herself, so she did not shirk the responsibility of stepping forward. Every move she made shocked and amazed the two brothers.
If they met a beast below second-grade, Lou Qianxue did not even need to use a longsword. It was as if she were a walking, deadly weapon that could cleanly deal with all the beasts in a short matter of time.
If it was above second-grade, Lou Qianxue would pull out her sword.
But for low second-grade beasts, just two waves of the sword was sufficient.
When evening arrived, they encountered another second-grade superior beast, a wind wolf that was as strong as the grizzly bear. Lou Qianxue finally used the third level of the Mountain River Sword Technique, the Wave form.
Finally, with her power alone, she defeated that wind wolf. At the same time, as she was tip-toeing around the edge of the current stage of her cultivation, Qianxue successfully broke into the fourth level of the spiritual realm.
It was only now that Li Wen and Li Wu realized Lou Qianxue"s actual skills.
“She"s only in the fourth level of the spiritual realm? How can it be! Both of us are in the eighth level, and we can"t even handle that beast. Yet, this lady, who"s only in the fourth level, managed to deal with it so easily?”
“Odd, this is too odd! Previously, based on her quickness in the teahouse, we only guessed that her skills shouldn"t be low. So, we sought help from her. But we never thought that she is only in the fourth level of the spiritual realm. Her skills are not even as good as ours.”
“It"s not just ‘not even as good", she"s really worlds apart from us.”
“But her combat skills are ten times, no, a hundred times better than ours! If she used a sword, I won"t be able to live past one move under her.”
“Me too.”
“Who exactly is she? This is too scary.”
“She only said that she"s called Qianxue and she wants us to call her Lady Qian. She did not speak about her background…”
They reached the gathering point and Lou Qianxue went out to search for food. In the meantime, the two brothers Li Wen and Li Wu discussed her skills and background. They were both amazed and shocked.
Just then, Li Bo returned…
