After transmigrating into the book, I became the little sun of the crazy villain.

"Ayan, is this the Heavenly Rank Spirit Plant you mentioned?"

After Yun Zhao and Qi Yan joined forces to defeat a ninth-level Golden Core Earth-Splitting Bear, she looked at the so-called Heavenly Rank spiritual plant guarded by the Earth-Splitting Bear and fell into deep thought.

Are those tiny sprouts, barely longer than her palm, really the so-called Heavenly Rank spiritual plants?

Qi Yan was speechless. This shouldn't be the case. He found the Heavenly Rank spiritual plant here in his previous life. Logically, there should be one here.

Yun Zhao leaned closer to take a look. "They are indeed Heavenly Rank spiritual plants, but they are still seedlings. Ayan, can your precognitive ability predict the future?"

The next time they enter the Spirit Void Secret Realm and find this place again, they can indeed harvest a few Heavenly Rank spiritual plants.

For now... let's skip it.

He gritted his teeth, leaned closer to examine it carefully, and discovered some holes as fine as hair.

This spiritual plant is called Silver Needle, and as the name suggests, it is thin and long, about the thickness of a hair, so when it is pulled out, there is not much trace on the ground.

Yun Zhao was so attracted by the seedlings that he didn't notice the marks on the ground and thus failed to discover them.

Hearing Qi Yan's words, Yun Zhao looked at it carefully and came to a conclusion: "Could it be that someone beat us to it?"

“It’s possible,” Qi Yan nodded. “It’s also possible that someone took the Silver Jade Needle while we were fighting the Earth-Splitting Bear.”

"That would be awful."

Being the first to arrive is nothing to worry about; everyone has to rely on their own abilities. But if someone takes advantage of their efforts to defeat the guardian monsters and secretly steals the peaches, that is unforgivable!

They decided to try it a few times. Once or twice was just a coincidence, but if it happened too many times, it would mean someone was deliberately sabotaging them.

Yun Zhao clenched his fist. "Then I'll definitely make that person pay!"

Based on Qi Yan's precognitive abilities, they found another place where Heaven-rank spiritual plants grew. Apart from rare spiritual plants, Qi Yan didn't care about anything below the Heaven-rank; he only looked for the best. As soon as he entered the secret realm, he went straight for the Heaven-rank spiritual plants.

After another fierce battle, Yun Zhao was overjoyed and ready to collect his spoils, but just like last time, the spiritual plants were gone again!

Yun Zhao smiled expressionlessly, a smile that sent chills down Qi Yan's spine. "Zhao, Zhao Zhao, are you alright?"

"What can I do?"

Yun Zhao smiled, "It's just that I wasted two days of effort, it's alright, it's alright..."

Qi Yan: "..."

The more you say that, the more suspicious I get; some people are in for it!

Yun Zhao pulled him aside and whispered something to him before they set off for their next destination.

It was a patch of Rainbow Grass, guarded by three Crimson Blood Wolves.

As they approached, the Crimson Wolf growled, trying to warn them to leave quickly.

Yun Zhao didn't leave, nor did he fight with them. Instead, he took out a table full of delicious food from his storage bag and ate and drank with Qi Yan.

The Crimson Wolf was completely dumbfounded. What were they doing?

Holding a chicken leg in each hand, Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're not here to steal your spiritual plants. We're just passing through and suddenly got hungry, so we'll have something to eat here before we leave."

The wariness in the Crimson Wolf's eyes did not dissipate; it merely stopped howling but remained poised to attack at any moment.

The two ignored their wariness and focused on eating, which took a very long time, lasting until evening.

After finishing the last grain of rice, Yun Zhao looked at the sky and said, "It's so late already? It seems we won't be able to find a cave to spend the night. How about we just make do here for the night?"

Qi Yan had no objection, took out a tent, and set up camp not far from the Crimson Blood Wolf.

Crimson Wolf: "..."

Can you please show us a little respect? Aren't you afraid we'll eat you up in the middle of the night?!

While Qi Yan was setting up the tent, Yun Zhao slipped over to the Crimson Blood Wolves and tried to get close to them.

"Hi, good evening, shall we chat?"

The Crimson Wolf ignored her, howling twice to signal her to stay away from them.

Yun Zhao wasn't annoyed and said with a smile, "I mean no harm, I just want to tell you some news."

“Recently, a thief who steals spiritual plants has appeared out of nowhere. He specifically targets the time when demonic beasts and cultivators are fighting, sneaking behind them to steal spiritual plants. If you encounter any cultivators, be careful.”

"Don't wait until you defeat the cultivators only to have your home raided."

The Crimson Wolf appeared to be resting with its eyes half-closed, but it was actually listening attentively to her. Seeing that she spoke with such seriousness, it howled at her again.

Yun Zhao tilted his head. "You want to ask me, who is that thief?"

Crimson Wolf nodded.

Yun Zhao said in distress, "I don't know who he is. Maybe he's not even human. He's stolen from me more than ten times, but I've never seen his true face."

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Blood Wolves immediately became even more concerned about the spirit plant Rainbow Grass they were guarding. This was something they were born to protect and could not be stolen by thieves!

A gust of wind blew through a tree not far away, causing the branches to sway.

After finishing that story, Yun Zhao went on to ramble on about other things, all related to the thief.

For example, she heard that the thief was ugly and weak, and could only steal other people's things by relying on his superb thieving skills.

Yun Zhao curled his lips, "If he is human, he is a disgrace to the human race. If he is a demon beast, a demon race, or another race, the same applies."

"Of course, these are just things I heard from other people. Maybe the thief wasn't actually as bad as I described."

"I see you guys are pretty bored. I happen to have some human storybooks here, want to take a look together?"

The Crimson Blood Wolf was born to guard this patch of Rainbow Grass. Besides hunting, it had nothing else to do. Hearing Yun Zhao say this, it immediately became interested.

In no time, the three wolves and one human, who were originally strangers, became friends and enthusiastically discussed the plot of the storybook. Although wolves tell stories to humans, and humans cannot understand animal language, it was still quite lively.

Yun Zhao even took out the snacks she always had while reading novels to share with them. The Crimson Blood Wolf didn't eat her food for nothing and gave her a few sprigs of Rainbow Grass in return.

The atmosphere here was harmonious, which made Qi Yan, who was struggling to set up a tent on the side, look even more pitiful.

For Qi Yan, it wasn't hardship; the thought of sleeping in the same tent with Zhao Zhao later filled him with energy.

But he became unhappy when he saw Yun Zhao touching the Crimson Blood Wolf's tail from time to time.

Why don't you pet him? His is much better to pet than those stupid wolves...

Oh, no, he can't transform into his true form yet, so Zhao Zhao can't touch him.

Ugh, I'm so annoyed.

Qi Yan secretly resolved that she must find that spiritual plant in the Spirit Void Secret Realm.

Only after finding it can he freely transform between human form and his original form.

Seeing Yun Zhao touching him with obvious affection, Qi Yan imagined how Yun Zhao would touch him all over in the future, and his movements became even faster.

After setting up the tent, Yun Zhao said goodbye to the three Crimson Blood Wolves and went inside to rest.

Tonight, the night is dark and the wind is high. Suddenly, three pairs of eyes glowing green appeared outside the tent.

He stared intently at the tent.
