Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

"Bro, you should really watch your facial expressions. You're giving off a creepy vibe."

Ling Chu got goosebumps from her brother's malicious expression.

Whenever his brother shows this kind of expression, it's never a good sign.

"Get lost, get lost! Your brother is so handsome and dashing, I don't know how many girls' hearts I can win with just a smile. Only you don't know what's good for you."

If his troublesome younger brother weren't his own brother, he would have slapped him to death.

"Hey bro, what do you think we should do next?"

"Didn't you see how these people are going crazy dealing with that sacred beast? Their attention isn't on us right now."

"Hmm, what next?"

Ling Jie rolled his eyes at his younger brother and continued.

"At this time, we should take advantage of their entanglement with the companion beast to sneak in and secretly take away that precious herb without anyone noticing."

Hearing his older brother's words, Ling Chu was slightly taken aback at first, and then suddenly realized what he meant.

At the same time, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

Ling Chu's lips slowly curled up, revealing a sly smile just like Ling Jie's.

"Hehe, bro, it has to be you! This idea is brilliant, not bad, not bad, it's insidious and cunning enough."

When it comes to clever ideas, his brother is slightly better.

Snapped!

No sooner had that landed than Ling Chu's head was struck again by a slap from her older brother, one filled with deep affection.

He winced in pain instantly.

"Ouch~ Bro, why did you hit me again? Don't you know that Big Head will become stupid?"

Rubbing his aching head, he was full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

His brother's grip was really strong; he showed absolutely no mercy.

If I weren't outmatched, I would have exchanged a few blows with him.

He absolutely refuses to admit that he backed down.

"What do you think? How can you talk about your own brother like that? Besides, I call this resourcefulness, do you understand? What do you mean by cunning and treacherous? Huh? If you can't speak properly, then shut up. Nobody thinks you're mute."

They all have the same parents, so how come they were born without a brain?

"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. I'll cover for you in a bit, and you secretly bring that precious herb out for me."

"Huh? Not me, brother? It's me stealing again? Why is it always me?"

Snapped!

"Ouch! Brother, my dear brother, why did you hit me this time? Do you know how painful it is to be hit on the head? Let me tell you, if you hit me on the head again, I...I..."

"Me, me, me? What do you mean by 'me'? Is this what we call stealing? Does that thing have an owner? What kind of theft is it if it doesn't have an owner?"

Hmm! That makes sense.

Wait, that's not right, is that what I was talking about?

"It's not brother..."

"Alright, alright, hurry up, or you'll miss your chance."

"alright."

Unfortunately, Ling Chu ended up doing the hard labor.

Seeing Ling Chu cautiously observing her surroundings, Ling Jie's lips curled up slightly.

You little brat, you think you can mess with me? You're just a kid.

Ling Chu was extremely cautious with every step she took, afraid of disturbing others.

Ling Jie was not idle either. In order to give Ling Chu more time and to prevent him from being discovered, he also joined the battle, pretending to fight fiercely in order to deceive everyone.

At the same time, it makes it impossible for people to notice Ling Chu's movements, making it easier for him to carry out his plans.

However, acquiring rare and precious materials is not so easy.

As Ling Chu silently approached the rare and precious treasure, and was about to succeed, a smug smile appeared on his lips.

The next moment, an accident occurred.

Just as he was about to grab the rare treasure, the treasure, which had transformed into human form, burst into tears as if it had been startled.

The sound was deafening.

Almost at the same instant that the precious herb cried out, Ling Chu quickly dodged away.

At the same time, both sides, who were still fighting, subconsciously looked in the direction of that rare and precious treasure.

The companion beast suddenly turned around, leaving the humans behind, and sped off towards the rare treasures with lightning speed.

He then firmly kept it behind him.

"Little Flower, don't be afraid. I'm here. No matter what happens, I will protect you. I will never let those humans hurt you in the slightest, and I will never let them take you away."

Looking at the transformed little flower, Xiaoyuan comforted it while warily glancing at the humans around her.

It's never going to end.

Killed batch after batch.

Humans are indeed the most cunning creatures.

"Arrogant! Although you are a sacred beast, you have only just advanced in level. Do you think we would be afraid of you with so many of us?"

A furious shout came from the crowd, a sound that seemed to pierce the sky.

"That's right. How dare a newly promoted sacred beast speak so arrogantly? Today, I'll show you that even if it's a sacred beast, we are not afraid."

Once someone starts, others will chime in.

"That's right, everyone. Why should we be polite to this beast? Its strength is still unstable. Let's not waste time and stop holding back. Let's quickly use our ultimate moves to kill it. If we give it a chance to breathe, it won't be friendly to us."

This person knew how to incite people. As soon as he said this, everyone present was alarmed and couldn't wait to take action.

They had finally exhausted most of the sacred beast's energy; it wouldn't be good for them if they waited for it to catch its breath.

However, some of those who suffered heavy casualties in the battle were dissatisfied.

If this continues, their people will likely be killed by the sacred beast before they can even defeat it.

At that time, even if the sacred beast is truly killed, if someone has ill intentions, wouldn't they be at the mercy of others?

At that time, let alone rare and precious treasures, their very survival will be in question.

As a result, their hearts were not in sync, and in an instant, everyone started talking at once.

Amidst the noise, one person's mind was elsewhere.

His gaze remained fixed on Ling Chu, who had already blended into the crowd.

Ling Chu shuddered, feeling a pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes staring intently at him.

He knew without a doubt that this person was none other than his older brother.

A complex emotion flickered in Ling Jie's eyes.

The two looked at each other.

Ling Jie cursed his good-for-nothing younger brother in his heart.

"You silly brat, you can't even handle this little thing? You've wasted all the lessons I've taught you, you useless fellow."

As expected of twins, Ling Chu and Ling Jie immediately understood the meaning behind their older brother's eye roll.

He expressed his helplessness, then spread his hands, shrugged slightly, and wore an innocent expression.

He thought to himself, "Brother, this really isn't my fault! He didn't expect that thing to be so perceptive. It detected me as soon as I got close, before I even started. There's really nothing I can do about it!"
