Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation

Yan Yue held her breath and pushed aside the dense vines. The scene before her made her heart tighten. A palm-sized sable cub huddled in a damp crevice, its body smeared with mud and its tiny body trembling slightly. One of its hind legs was visibly twisted and deformed, oozing a little blood, and a whimpering sound emanated from its mouth.

This sable was snow-white, save for a vibrant red mark on its forehead, like a drop of cinnabar, making it particularly striking. Even injured and weakened, it couldn't conceal its noble and agile aura. Yan Yue recognized it; it was a snow-capped sable, an extremely rare spiritual pet whose power, when fully grown, rivaled that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

In her previous life, she had seen a snow-capped sable before, but that was at an auction, with all the major sects competing for it and ultimately selling it for a stratospheric price. Now, a snow-capped sable cub appeared before her, and it was injured.

Yan Yue's heart stirred, and the knowledge of spirit beasts from his past life flooded back to him. The snow-crowned sable had a proud temperament and was extremely difficult to tame, but it was relatively docile when it was a cub. If he could establish a connection with it now, perhaps...

With this in mind, Yan Yue cautiously approached the sable cub. She tried to keep her footsteps light to avoid startling it. The sable cub seemed to sense her approach and struggled to raise its head, its large, dark eyes gazing at her warily.

Yan Yue didn't rashly reach out to touch it. Instead, he squatted down and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

She took some healing pills from her storage bag, crushed them, and gently applied them to the sable cub's wounds. The sable cub resisted at first, but after feeling the effects of the medicine, it gradually calmed down, a hint of gratitude in its eyes.

Yan Yue found some herbs from the surrounding area and crushed them according to some healing methods she remembered from her previous life. She applied them to the sable cub's broken leg and carefully bandaged it with a clean cloth.

After doing all this, Yan Yue gently stroked the sable cub's soft fur and comforted it softly, "Okay, it's okay."

The sable cub seemed to sense her kindness and rubbed her palm gently, making a faint "squeak".

At that moment, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from behind, accompanied by a deafening roar... "Roar!" A massive figure descended from the sky, carrying a chilling murderous aura... Yan Yue was immersed in the joy of soon owning a snow-capped sable when the sudden roar jolted her back to reality. A strong sense of oppression washed over her from behind, nearly suffocating her. She turned sharply to see a massive sable descend from the sky, its eyes crimson and gleaming with a fierce glint. This sable was dozens of times larger than the cub, its fur even whiter, and the red mark on its forehead was even more vibrant, like a burning flame.

There is no doubt that this is the mother of the sable pups!

Seeing Yan Yue approaching her child, the sable mother mistakenly thought she was going to harm her cub and flew into a rage. She let out a deafening roar, and a huge surge of spiritual energy swept towards Yan Yue like a tide.

Yan Yue was horrified. She hadn't expected the Snow-crowned Sable's mother to appear so quickly, let alone such terrifying strength. This spiritual energy fluctuation far exceeded the Foundation Establishment Stage, at least the Golden Core Stage!

She did not dare to delay and hurriedly put the sable cub back into the crevice, while at the same time she flashed and hid to the side.

"boom!"

The sable mother's attack missed, creating a huge hole in the ground. Dust and gravel flew everywhere.

Before Yan Yue could even breathe a sigh of relief, the sable mother pounced on him again. Her speed was as fast as lightning, her claws flashing with cold light, and every swing brought a sharp gust of wind, as if she wanted to tear Yan Yue into pieces.

Yan Yue quickly took out his spiritual sword, infused it with spiritual power, and rushed forward to meet the attack.

"clang!"

A sharp metallic collision sounded, and Yan Yue felt a surge of force, her palms numb, and her spiritual sword nearly slipped out of her hand. She was shocked and retreated repeatedly, her blood surging.

The sable mother succeeded in her first strike and, without stopping, launched another attack. Her claws were like sharp blades, leaving traces in the air and completely blocking Yan Yue's escape route.

Yan Yue gritted her teeth, resisting the surging blood and qi in her body, and wielded her spiritual sword to resist. However, the gap in strength between her and Zidane's mother was too great, and every collision made her feel powerless.

"boom!"

The sable mother slammed her claws into Yan Yue's chest, knocking her away. Yan Yue fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

She struggled to stand up, but found that her body was numb and she could not move.

The sable mother approached step by step, with murderous intent in her eyes.

Yan Yue closed his eyes in despair, feeling a strong sense of helplessness in his heart.

At this moment, a figure appeared in her mind - Nong Jin.

If only he were here...

The thought flashed through her mind, but it caused a ripple in her heart.

"Jin..." She murmured softly, her voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.

The sable mother raised her sharp claws high, about to bring them down...

Suddenly, a clear bird song echoed in the distance... As Yan Yue dodged the attack, Nong Jin's image kept flashing through her mind. If only he were here; his immense strength would surely resolve the current predicament with ease. This longing coiled around her heart like a vine, leaving her feeling a little flustered. She had never felt so dependent on someone before, and this feeling left her feeling both reassured and uneasy.

She gritted her teeth, summoning her spiritual energy, barely fending off the sable mother's furious onslaught. Every collision sent her blood surging, rapidly draining her spiritual energy. She knew that if this continued, she would eventually collapse.

Just as Yan Yue was feeling desperate, several furtive figures emerged from the surrounding woods and quietly surrounded him. They stared greedily at the sable cub in the crevice, obviously having heard the commotion here and wanted to take advantage of the situation to snatch the spiritual pet.

The leader was a man with a ferocious face and fierce eyes. He was known as Wu the Bully, a notorious wandering cultivator in the area. He licked his lips and said with a sinister smile, "I didn't expect to encounter a snow-capped sable in this desolate wilderness. God is truly helping me! Brothers, wait until this beast and that little girl are both defeated, then we'll seize the cub!"

The several wandering cultivators behind him also nodded, with greed glittering in their eyes.

Yan Yue's heart sank. She hadn't expected that someone would try to take advantage of her situation at this critical moment. With enemies attacking her from both sides, her situation was even more precarious.

The sable mother also noticed these ill-intentioned cultivators and roared angrily, attacking even more fiercely. Although she was eager to protect her child, the human girl before her was clearly no match for her. She simply wanted to end the fight quickly and return to protect her child.

Surrounded by the sable mother and Wu Bully and other cultivators, Yan Yue felt immense pressure and didn't know how to break free from her predicament. She glanced at the sable cub nestled in the crevice, her heart filled with worry. She had to find a way to protect it and prevent these malicious individuals from succeeding.

At this moment, a sound of breaking air was heard in the distance, and a dazzling golden light streaked across the sky, rapidly coming towards this side.

When Wu Bully and the others saw this, their expressions changed slightly.

"somebody is coming!"

The golden light landed on the ground, revealing a handsome man in a golden robe. He held a golden sword in his hand, and exuded a powerful aura that made people dare not look directly at him.

Seeing the person coming, Yan Yue was delighted and blurted out: "Nong Jin!"

Nong Jin's eyes fell on Yan Yue. Seeing the blood at the corner of her mouth and her miserable appearance, his brows furrowed slightly. He turned to look at Zidiao's mother, Wu the Bully, and the others, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Wu Bully and the others felt the powerful aura emanating from Nong Jin, and a sense of fear suddenly arose in their hearts. They realized that the newcomer had ill intentions.

"You... who are you?" Bully Wu asked with forced calmness.

Nong Jin ignored him and walked straight to Yan Yue and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Yan Yue shook his head and pointed at the sable cub in the crevice and said, "It's injured..."

Nong Jin followed her finger and saw the shivering sable cub. He nodded slightly, turned to look at the sable mother, and said in a deep voice, "You misunderstood. She means no harm."

Mother Sable looked at Nong Jin warily and did not let her guard down.

Seeing that Nong Jin didn't seem to have any intention of attacking them, Wu Bully and the others became bolder.

"Boy, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business! We were the first to discover this snow-crowned sable!" Wu the bully shouted.

A cold light flashed in Nong Jin's eyes, and he slowly raised the golden sword in his hand...

"court death."
