Refining divine pills, controlling divine beasts, and the useless lady is so cool

Su Jiaojiao was so scared that she took a step back, her legs went weak, and she fell to the ground.

Mu Qingli looked at the Red Flame Beast from behind with a half-smile, as if thinking about something.

When the Red Flame Beast looked over, her facial expression had returned to normal.

"Didn't your master say not to hurt anyone?"

The Red Flame Beast froze, lowering its head and not looking at Mu Qingli. It reluctantly made up an excuse: "You are the master's successor, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Mu Qingli smiled, but the Red Flame Beast couldn't tell why she was smiling.

Just as the Scarlet Flame Beast was struggling, Mu Qingli walked past it and came to Su Jiaojiao's side, trying to pull her up: "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt anyone."

Su Jiaojiao was still frightened. When she looked up, she saw the blood-red eyes of the Red Flame Beast again. She immediately broke free from Mu Qingli's arms and continued to retreat.

Mu Qingli glanced at the Red Flame Beast lightly, and the Red Flame Beast instantly restrained its breath, fearing that Mu Qingli would not go with it.

Su Jiaojiao was really about to cry this time: "Mu Qingli, who is it? Why does it listen to you?"

Mu Qingli changed his previous cold attitude and pretended to be very intimate and said, "It is the former contracted beast of the Spirit King. It wants to take me to inherit the Spirit King's things."

Su Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at the Red Flame Beast in disbelief. Although she was still a little scared, she felt a little excited when she knew that it was the Spirit King's contracted beast.

As long as I establish a good relationship with this contracted beast, will I become the successor?

It must be because Mu Qingli met it first that it wanted to take Mu Qingli with it to inherit.

Mu Qingli pretended to be very distressed and revealed that the Red Flame Beast wanted to follow him:

"As long as the Spirit King's inheritance is obtained, this demigod beast will follow the inheritor. Do you want to go with us?"

Su Jiaojiao held Mu Qingli's hand and stood up. Although the fear she had just felt had not dissipated, she was able to stand firmly.

She didn't think about why Mu Qingli's attitude suddenly changed at this moment. Instead, she felt a little happy: "Are you really willing to be with me?"

Mu Qingli smiled as if relieved: "We are all classmates. Now that we have come to this unfamiliar ruin, we must help each other."

Su Jiaojiao cursed Mu Qingli in her heart for being stupid, but her face was full of surprise:

"Great! Let's go together, but we must not waste time, otherwise it would be bad if someone intercepted us."

Seeing that Su Jiaojiao was willing to go, Mu Qingli told the Red Flame Beast to continue leading the way.

The Red Flame Beast really didn't want to take Su Jiaojiao with it, but since Mu Qingli said so, it had to take her with it.

Along the way, Su Jiaojiao kept trying to get close to the Red Flame Beast, and the Red Flame Beast was only distant at first, but then gradually became warmer to her.

Mu Qingli was happy to see the man and the beast chatting with each other.

But Su Jiaojiao actually brought the topic to Mu Qingli.

"Mr. Mu already has a contracted beast, so he probably won't have any other beasts, right?"

Su Jiaojiao looked at Yun Xiao in Mu Qingli's arms, with a smile on her lips. She seemed to be chatting, but she was actually reminding the Red Flame Beast that Mu Qingli could not contract it again.

Except for beastmasters, cultivators can generally only have one contracted beast. Although Mu Qingli's ability in beast taming is very strong, his strength is very low now, and he does not have the energy to contract a second one.

Mu Qingli lowered her eyes and gently stroked Yun Xiao's head. The little guy was sleeping soundly and rubbed Mu Qingli's palm unconsciously: "Yes, I don't plan to contract a second one at the moment."

When Su Jiaojiao heard her definite answer, she was overjoyed. She no longer had the fear she had when she first saw the Scarlet Flame Beast. Instead, she felt a little distressed:

"That's such a shame. After all, you have such great talent. Maybe you can really become the successor. What will the Red Flame Beast do then?"

Mu Qingli raised an eyebrow, looking as if it was none of his business: "What does it have to do with me? Even if I become the successor, I won't keep other people's contracted beasts."

The Red Flame Beast had heard her refuse many times and seemed to be in a bad mood. He walked faster and even ignored Su Jiaojiao.

But Su Jiaojiao didn't believe it and kept asking questions diligently, which eventually angered the Red Flame Beast.

"Can you please stop asking! My master doesn't like chatterboxes. You won't be able to inherit his legacy if you keep asking!"

Su Jiaojiao was startled and quickly covered her mouth without saying anything else.

Because of this incident, no one spoke for the rest of the journey, and the Red Flame Beast gradually calmed down, but it always looked at Mu Qingli intentionally or unintentionally, as if trying to test her attitude.

Mu Qingli also felt the Red Flame Beast's gaze from time to time, but she ignored it all.

We finally arrived at the place the Red Flame Beast mentioned. It was a cave and judging by the footprints, it seemed someone had already gone in.

The Red Flame Beast looked at this place with some nostalgia, then turned to Mu Qingli and said, "Almost all those who were transported to the Spirit King Ruins are here."

"Almost? What about the others?"

The Scarlet Flame Beast exhaled from its nose: "Of course they are locked outside. Those without talent cannot enter even with a token.

Even fewer have been brought directly into my master's courtyard like you."

Mu Qingli didn't say anything else and followed the Red Flame Beast into the cave.

Su Jiaojiao followed closely, surpassing Mu Qingli in just two or three steps and following behind the Red Flame Beast.

Mu Qingli pulled her over just to have some peace and quiet, and now it seems that this was the right thing to do. Otherwise, the Red Flame Beast would have been asking all sorts of questions along the way, which would have been too annoying.

They didn't deliberately try to keep the noise low when they entered. The people deep in the cave noticed and looked over. Mu Qingli heard his brother's surprised voice: "Li'er!"

Mu Qingli was about to reply when Su Jiaojiao answered first. Su Jiaojiao's eyes were full of stars. "You are Senior Mu, right? My name is Su Jiaojiao, and I am also from Qingyun College."

Mu Qingchen frowned. He hadn't even seen this person, and this person actually leaned towards him. He replied perfunctorily: "Hello."

After saying that, he walked straight past her and walked towards Mu Qingli, which made Su Jiaojiao so angry that she glared at Mu Qingli secretly.

Mu Qingchen checked Mu Qingli up and down and found that she was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he glanced around, he saw the blood-red Red Flame Beast again. He hurriedly pulled Mu Qingli behind him and put on a defensive posture.

Mu Qingli explained the origin of the Red Flame Beast, and Mu Qingchen relaxed, but he still did not relax his vigilance against the Red Flame Beast.

"Qingqing, you're finally here. You really scared me to death. We've been looking for you for a long time but couldn't find you."

Murong Jingchen followed closely behind Mu Qingchen. The only missing member of the Star Team was Mu Qingli. The rest of the people had already gathered and now they all came forward.
