Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

“If you call me Uncle, I’ll get you ten pairs of fangs, how about that?” Cang Lin held up two index fingers and gestured ten.

"It's not that I absolutely have to have it." Mu Xue's lips curled slightly as she looked down.

Mu Hu covered his mouth, silently chuckling to himself.

Cang Lin shot him a sharp glare, and he immediately straightened up, looking down with a blank expression.

Cang Lin curled his lip in boredom, his face full of disdain as he looked at the battle below.

These five men in black have been besieging a fanged beast for so long and still haven't managed to take it down.

"Just one fanged beast, and you still haven't taken it down after all this time? These guys are really weak!" Cang Lin said.

Mu Xue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Uncle, how amazing are you! How many people in these four countries can compare to you!"

Cang Lin realized she was mocking him. He touched his nose; the mask on his face had been removed, and now he was wearing a human skin mask.

Mu Xue then asked, "How long will it take them to take down this fanged beast?"

"Judging from their cautious approach to the encirclement, they must want the complete scale armor. That will take some time, probably another half an hour," Cang Lin said, estimating their strength.

Half an hour is going to be enough to keep the beast from running out of energy.

"Oh? Then why don't you go up and fight, uncle?" Mu Xue asked again.

"Me? One move is enough to kill me," Cang Lin said proudly.

"What is the weakness of this fanged beast?" Mu Xue asked curiously.

Although she recognizes and is proficient in various refining materials, she has never personally participated in how many raw materials are obtained.

This trip to find the gallbladder of the blackfin serpent was quite an eye-opener.

Seeing Mu Xue's curiosity, Cang Lin carefully explained to him: "The weak point of this fanged beast is its neck. Don't be fooled by the scales there; if you look closely, you'll find that some of the scales are a different color."

Mu Xue then carefully observed the fanged beast below. It was roaring with its head raised, and she noticed several scales of different colors on its throat. Without careful observation, it was difficult to see the difference.

"Isn't this right at the throat?" she asked, puzzled. Mu Hu, who was standing next to her, also looked over curiously.

I've heard before that when you encounter a fanged beast, you should surround and kill it, but I've never heard of it having such a weakness.

Cang Lin gave a knowing smile, pointed with his chin at the beast below, and said, "You see this one at the throat, but the others may not be."

Mu Xue nodded knowingly, "I see."

Mu Hu couldn't help but say, "So that's how it is! No wonder I've never heard of this fanged beast having such a weakness. Master's uncle is indeed very knowledgeable!"

Cang Lin: What the heck is Master's uncle?

"What uncle? Call him Grandfather." Cang Lin rolled his eyes at Mu Hu.

Hearing this title, Mu Xue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ah Hu, don't worry about him."

"Hey, why don't you care about me? I am your uncle, your uncle!" Cang Lin couldn't help but raise his voice.

One of the five people surrounding him noticed Cang Lin's voice and looked up.

Mu Xue frowned. She only wanted to observe their battle and didn't want to disturb them. She gritted her teeth and said, "Shut up, or someone will find out."

Realizing he had upset her, Cang Lin wisely shut his mouth.

Mu Hu asked, "Now that you've discovered us, shall we go down?"

Mu Xue nodded and glanced at Cang Lin.

He hurriedly pulled her down the tree and stood beside the tree furthest from the battlefield.

Once she stood still, Mu Xue noticed that there were three more people hiding behind a small clump of trees not far away.

A boy, a girl, and a middle-aged man dressed in black. The two boys looked to be about the same age as Mu Xue.

At this moment, the boy and girl were looking at Mu Xue with curiosity.

Mu Xue waved to the two boys, "(????)?? Hi!"

When the boy saw Mu Xue's smiling face, he turned to look at the fanged beasts, while the girl curiously imitated Mu Xue and greeted them.

Seeing that Mu Xue and her two companions meant no harm, the middle-aged man in black guessed that they were in a similar situation to his own, having brought their juniors out for training.

Mu Xue and the other two carefully moved to different positions, trying not to disturb the fanged beast.

They soon reunited with the other three.

"You're so beautiful! Are you here for the trial too?" the girl asked.

Mu Xue felt a little embarrassed by what she was being told. Although she knew she was very beautiful, she was still a little shy to hear a stranger say it so bluntly.

Mu Xue said, "You're very pretty too. We're here to find some kind of medicine."

Hearing that they had come looking for medicine, the boy turned around and asked, "Are you doctors?"

Mu Xue thought for a moment and said, "I guess so."

"This is it, but how do you define it?" the girl asked without malice.

"Uh, well, I haven't been certified by a medical school yet," Mu Xue explained.

She can't very well say that she's a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and that she's a higher level of physician than you all are talking about!

"What kind of medicine are you looking for? Perhaps we've encountered it before," the boy said.

"Oh, the gallbladder of a blackfin serpent," Mu Xue said casually.

"What???" the boy exclaimed in surprise, drawing the attention of the people who were besieging the Fanged Beast.

"No, I'm just a little... you mean, you're looking for the Blackfin Serpent? Just the three of you?" the boy asked, suppressing his surprise.

“Oh, no,” Mu Xue said.

"It's alright." Before the boy could finish speaking, Mu Xue spoke up.

"I searched alone; the other two came with me." After Mu Xue finished speaking, she looked at the battlefield, which seemed to be almost over.

"You're so brave!" The boy was speechless with emotion.

This girl, who looks younger than me, is actually looking for a blackfin snake!

The blackfin serpent is known as the king of venomous snakes. While not everyone fears it, it is certainly a snake that no one wants to encounter, bar none.

Upon hearing Mu Xue's words, the middle-aged man in black snorted coldly, "Little girl, it's best not to talk big." After saying that, he glanced at Cang Lin subtly; this man gave him a strong feeling.

He couldn't sense his imposing presence at all.

Anyone with martial prowess will exude an aura; they are either exceptionally powerful or lack any martial prowess whatsoever.

The fact that this man could come all the way to the center of the vast mountains and still be so relaxed means he must be quite capable in combat.

Mu Hu: I am invisible.

The boy scolded in a low voice, "Wang Chi, you mustn't be rude."

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and remained silent.

The boy said apologetically to Mu Xue, "We're sorry, we didn't mean to look down on you, but the blackfin snake is extremely venomous. Perhaps you should bring more people with you when you come back."

Mu Xue sensed his goodwill and said, "I know what I'm doing. If it doesn't work, I'll bring people with me."

Mu Hu brought water to Mu Xue and Cang Lin. They had just rested after traveling all this way, so he naturally wanted to take good care of them.

The girl spoke up at this moment: "What's your name? My name is Yuan Yuan, and this is my brother Yuan Gui."

"Pfft!" Mu Xue spat out all the water she had just drunk.

"Ugh~" Cang Lin moved away from her in disgust.

Mu Hu hurriedly handed her a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

The girl looked completely bewildered.

"Sorry, I drank a little too fast," Mu Xue said.

Yuan Gui, Yuan Yuan.

Did the elders of the Yuan family have some kind of obsession with mathematics?
