Bai Rouyun was leaning against the trunk of a tree as she observed the two playful lightning fox cubs that were wrestling on the forest floor not far away from her.

They were young and out of the nest for the first time. Bai Rouyun was unsure where their mother was, but due to the excitement, they were not at all alert of their surroundings, which gave the young woman a chance to get closer.

She was once again in the mountain forest for the sake of completing a task. This time she had to get her hands on a Cloud Leopard, which was quite a bit more ferocious than her previous targets, but she was not worried.

She was not the one who was going to do the hunting this time as she glanced at Little Chu, who was standing by her side.

Bai Rouyun naturally wished to depend on herself, but reality had proven that she could not complete missions for now. Her body was still incapable of handling the domineering and overpowering Qi within her dantian, so she had to enhance it first.

During the last couple of days, Li Moyun had been gathering medicinal herbs and other resources for her, for the sake of concocting various medicinal liquids and pastes, in order to strengthen and refine her body. However, Bai Rouyun was still missing a few things before she could begin.

At the same time, she knew that these external things were not the only way to strengthen her body, the Gravity Tower was also a viable option, but she was not in possession of enough points to train wantonly within it.

As a result, she had hurried to the Mission Tower, where she had taken up a rather challenging task.

The Elder at the Mission Tower had tried to convince her otherwise, but Bai Rouyun had been stubborn and said that she wanted this mission to capture a Cloud Leopard.

Seeing her this adamant, the Elder could do nothing but shake his head. He faintly guessed that she had the support of an expert, or that a team was behind her, but he, as the Elder, did not care how the mission was completed. As long as she brought the things needed for the task, she would be given the points.

This was why Little Chu helplessly had followed her to the mountain forest. He was also aware that she was currently not capable of using Qi, so he was extra alert and observant.

The closer they came to the Cloud Leopard's cave, the stronger the beasts became. However, this Mountain did not have a spirit vein, so the energy was actually slightly lacking, resulting in the beasts not being as strong as in other places, and they posed no difficulty for Little Chu to handle.

These two lightning fox cubs were not a threat to them. Bai Rouyun had paused as their energetic and playful behavior had made her feel warm in her heart, and she could not help but observe them.

Little Chu noticed the tenderness in Bai Rouyun's eyes, and he could not help but smile. Although she was decisive and ruthless when needed, she had never forgotten her gentle and loving personality.

Being able to be so at peace with herself was truly making Little Chu admire her, and he could not help but wait for her to finally wrest her eyes away from the two fox cubs before they continued their journey.

Although Bai Rouyun did not have access to any Qi in her body, she was not unable to move through the forest. She could no longer enhance her speed with Qi, so while it took longer, she was not exhausted, nor tired.

On their way, they had killed numerous beasts, and Bai Rouyun had tossed every carcass into the Primeval Chaos Dimension, where Xiao Bao had dealt with them.

He had dealt with the corpses efficiently. He managed to get the skin and hides off without any injury, and even the feathered beasts were plucked clean.

The beast cores, their horns, poison, and other useful items were also treated with respect, and quickly dealt with, before being stored in a storage space.

The meat was cured and hung in the small shed. Everything which could be used was saved and dealt with by Xiao Bao, and the things which could not be used were destroyed and vanished with a wave of his hand.

Although many beast carcasses had been sent into the Primeval Chaos Dimension, the speed with which Xiao Bao acted was much swifter than that which Little Chu used to kill them, so they never managed to pile up.

The trip towards the Cloud Leopards cave was long, and Bai Rouyun was already aware that it would take a few days. Initially, she had been rather reluctant, since it was a rather precautious time as Li Moyun's identity had been announced, and she was not willing to let him face the danger alone, but he had told her that she needed to go.

After a long gaze into his eyes, she saw the confidence and self-assurance, and she reluctantly agreed to leave.

She was well aware that during the days they would be spending in this mountain forest, Li Moyun would act on the many unknown experts that had appeared in Canglan City recently.

Even Bai Rouyun was aware that the city was bustling with experts that had appeared from the Cultivation World, so naturally, Li Moyun was also aware.

Seeing her leave the city, he decided that this would be the most suitable time to wrap them all up. It seemed that these experts who had been sent by the various factions in the Cultivation World had forgotten about his reputation.

The Eternal Shadow Lord was cold and ruthless. He hated when others caused trouble for him, so tonight, he was going to bathe Canglan City in blood.
