The Daily Life of a Lazy Author Transmigrating into a Book and Doing Nothing

Fortunately, the Azure Flame Ganoderma was still there after they entered the cave; otherwise, their previous confrontation would have been a joke.

"There really is only one plant."

Yu Xianxian pulled out the Azure Flame Ganoderma, looked at the spirit plant in her hand that looked just like a mutated Ganoderma, and turned to ask the two of them, "How do we divide this?"

It's strange that these two agreed to let her take the Azure Flame Ganoderma. Aren't they afraid she'll steal the spirit plant?

Well, that makes sense. The entrance to the cave was completely blocked by the two of them, so it didn't seem like they could escape easily.

“Miss Yu had an agreement with me before, so it would be inappropriate to go back on your word now.”

"But we agreed that we would each get half of the Fire Control Pill. Is Young Master Shangguan really sure that you want to refine the Fire Control Pill?"

She hadn't completely ignored what Bai Ge had just said; based on her understanding of the handsome men in this world, well, there wasn't a single good one.

So, this guy in front of me might be up to something.

"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Yu, do you not believe me?"

"Yes."

Shangguan Huan: ...Is it really that unbelievable that such a sunny, handsome, and charming young man like him, who is loved by everyone and whose words are admired by flowers, can say?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Alas, he was so sincere in deceiving people, why wouldn't they believe him?

"My junior sister will never believe your lying mouth that goes around lying."

Yu Xianxian, who had already been incorporated into Bai Ge's territory: ...Well, since she was using the identity of a disciple of the Spirit Beast Peak, she owed him a favor.

“Alright, I do intend to use the Azure Flame Ganoderma to refine the Blazing Flame Pill, but I promise to give Fellow Daoist Yu five high-grade Fire Control Pills as compensation afterward.”

Five high-grade Fire Control Pills?

Yu Xianxian looked at the Azure Flame Ganoderma in her hand. Good heavens, even her senior sister couldn't refine five high-grade pills from just this one plant.

"Five top-grade pills for this one green lingzhi, Young Master Shangguan is truly generous."

"Fellow Daoist Bai, do you not know that this Green Lingzhi is much rarer than the Fire Control Pill? I don't lack Fire Control Pills, and they are of no use to me anyway. I might as well use them to exchange for this essential medicinal herb."

As he spoke, Shangguan Huan stretched out his left hand in front of the two of them, with a black box lying in his palm, containing five blue pills.

"If Fellow Daoist Yu still doesn't trust me, why don't you take these five Fire Control Pills now? But please help me deliver the Azure Flame Mushroom to that person on Spirit Medicine Peak, and these five pills will be your reward."

Bai Ge also looked at the box, her brows furrowing. It did indeed appear to be a high-grade Fire Control Pill, indicating that she had already become involved in this transaction.

Ugh, it's so annoying that the spirit beast I finally managed to lure away was snatched away by this frivolous playboy.

"really?"

As Bai Ge had predicted, Yu Xianxian was indeed very tempted by the five pills in front of her.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the pills and then disappear without a trace?"

"Fellow Daoist Yu, there's no need to worry. This box is a specially made container. It will close as soon as it leaves my hand, and it will explode if it's not opened correctly. Only I know how to open it. Once you bring the Blazing Flame Pill, I will open the box for you."

Yu Xianxian: ...Explosion? Thank you, I'm no longer worried, I'm scared.

But no matter what, it's always more reassuring to have the item in your hand first.

Just as Yu Xianxian was about to take the box, Bai Ge grabbed her and they ran wildly toward the cave entrance.

Yu Xianxian, who was being dragged along the ground by a little girl a head shorter than herself, leaving a trail of sparks and lightning: ...What's going on?

Shangguan Huan stared at the two figures, who were leaving everyone else in the dust, for a few seconds before finally realizing that his partner had been forcibly taken away.

"This woman, can't she handle this? She even dragged him away by force."

Without the slightest hesitation, he put the box away and immediately chased after them.

Compared to Bai Ge, who already had short legs and was also dragging Yu Xianxian along, Shangguan Huan was naturally much faster.

In no time, they caught up with the two at the cave entrance.

To be precise, the two of them stopped at the entrance of the cave.

"Hey, you guys..."

Before Shangguan Huan could utter more than a few words, Bai Ge immediately pinned him to the ground and covered his mouth tightly.

"Shut up."

Suddenly losing his freedom of speech and being suppressed, Shangguan Huan naturally wanted to resist, but the next second he fell silent, staring blankly at the mountain-like creature outside that looked just like the spider he could easily crush with his foot.

A giant spider!

Yu Xianxian looked at this place, which was almost identical to the one in the movie, and her lips twitched. Were all the spirit beasts in this secret realm mutated? It must be all about technology and ruthless techniques.

Obviously, the giant spider couldn't answer that question; it was currently enjoying eating the red crab that had been outside.

Yes, you heard right, a spider eating a crab. Yu Xianxian never expected to see such a scene in her lifetime. She silently mourned for the crab for three seconds. But now doesn't seem like the time to care about the crab. Shouldn't they take this opportunity to slip away?

Clearly, the other two had the same idea. After Shangguan Huan was stunned by the spider, Bai Ge and he got up one after the other. Bai Ge first made a series of prayer gestures that Yu Xianxian couldn't understand in the direction of the red crab, and then pulled Yu Xianxian and ran in the opposite direction. Shangguan Huan naturally followed closely behind.

"Is this the Thunder Spider that guarded the Azure Flame Ganoderma?"

"That's right, I lured it away using the red crab's speed, but I didn't expect it to come back so quickly. What a nuisance. If the red crab could escape, it definitely wouldn't have been preyed on at the cave entrance. This monster must have learned to ambush."

"A demon? So that wasn't a spirit beast?"

Running alongside two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, Yu Xianxian was breathless, but she still humbly sought their guidance with the mindset that the sea of ​​knowledge is boundless.

"Naturally, the Thunder Spider is ferocious and basically only appears in the Demon Realm. How come there are some here?"

"I don't think these things are important. What's important is where we should escape to?"

"It's alright, they probably didn't notice us. Red crabs are quite large, they won't finish eating so quickly."

"Speaking of which, that red crab should be Fellow Daoist Bai's contracted beast, right? If the contracted beast dies, does Fellow Daoist Bai really have no impact at all?"

"Ah, oh, it's not a contracted beast, I just picked it up when I entered the secret realm."

Shangguan Huan: ...Just found it when you entered the secret realm? It's so obedient right after you found it, and it's even willing to help you lure away the Thunder Spider? Is his stereotype of spirit beasts too strong? Are spirit beasts this friendly these days?

"But I really did wrong it. I'll go back to its nest, take those baby red crabs back, raise them, and then release them. Hmm, I hope I won't get scolded by my master."

Shangguan Huan: ...Raise and release them? This is quite different from the beast tamers he's heard of.

However, looking at Yu Xianxian's expression on the other side, she showed absolutely no reaction. Could it be that beast tamers are really like this? They can command spirit beasts at will, and release spirit beasts they've raised from cubs back into the wild at will?

Shangguan Huan had no idea that Yu Xianxian was completely ignorant of these things, and at that moment, all she could think about was escaping.

They're running away, so why are you two chatting so calmly? She'll think she's the only one here who's afraid of that spider, okay?
