Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1477: Chapter 1457: Training in the Forest (Part 1)

Fortunately, this ’little brat’ also had an ancestor’s Crystal Core, so they didn’t go on a killing spree and directly got what they needed for the task. However, perhaps because the task was completed too easily, Luo Qianqian felt a bit empty and lonely.

Did she come all this way just to end up like a bald little nun?

”Take them out for some fun, don’t wander off too far. You kid, come with me,” the old man said to the Little White Snake at the cave entrance, then turned and gestured for Luo Shufan to follow him.

Luo Shufan felt a bit uneasy, so Luo Qianqian held his hand tightly: ”Brother, hang in there. If he bullies you, just let me know, I’ll be waiting for you outside.”

”Okay.” Luo Shufan nodded heavily and followed the old man into the cave.

After watching Luo Shufan enter the cave, Luo Qianqian sat on the ground, looking at the Little White Snake like a master: ”If your grandpa bullies my brother, I’ll soak you in wine and send you to your grandpa! Whether you’re a dragon or a snake, did you hear that?”

She waved her canvas shoe in her hand, lacking any deterrent force, so the Little White Snake approached, giving Luo Qianqian goosebumps all over.

Yan, on the other hand, seemed to have an understanding look on his face, confident that Luo Qianqian held some leverage over the old man. He then looked around and raised an eyebrow: ”This is the Inner Forest, where there are countless powerful Spiritual Beasts. Since the old man’s strength is formidable, we can take this chance to find sparring partners with his help. It won’t cause any harm or negative consequences.”

Thinking about how the Blazing Flame Fierce Tiger they intended to use as a sparring partner ended up seeing them as enemies was truly saddening...

”Good idea.” Luo Qianqian’s eyes lit up, pulling out a rack to clamp the Little White Snake, looking at it disdainfully: ”No matter how you look at it, this guy is just a snake...”

But still, she reluctantly clamped the Little White Snake, disdainfully saying: ”We don’t bully the weak, so we won’t bully you. Do you have any buddies? Call them out for us to practice with.”

The Little White Snake nodded its head in a very human-like manner. Luo Qianqian was very satisfied, setting it down, and proudly said to the four aghast people nearby, ”It’s actually quite easy to communicate with. Xiao Tian, you stay here and watch Mr. Black Cat, rest well, and don’t run off.” Luo Qianqian took Mr. Black Cat out of her arms and placed him on Xiao Tian’s fluffy back, gently grooming its fur, and took out some food, ”Don’t go hungry now.”

Xiao Tian nodded to Luo Qianqian and lay back down, cautiously and anxiously.

If it weren’t for her keen sense of smell, she wouldn’t have believed that this piece of charcoal in front of her was Luo Qianqian, especially since her brother was still in the cave. Even though the pressure here was immense, she had to stay put.

”Good boy.” Luo Qianqian’s expression softened a bit, but on her blood-scabbed face, it looked somewhat ferocious.

Then she turned to the four others, ”Let’s go, team up and hunt some monsters!”

The Little White Snake just felt that although Luo Qianqian had dark skin, she was really nice. At least she wasn’t bullying him, she was a good person!

If Luo Qianqian knew his thoughts, she would probably die laughing. The reason she dared not touch the Little White Snake was that she feared accidentally killing it and having to pay with her life.

After all, the grandpa in the cave wasn’t someone to mess with, and more importantly, her brother was still in his hands. She didn’t dare to take any risks, not even the slightest possibility.

The Little White Snake quickly... floated ahead, with Luo Qianqian and her group following behind.

Watching the Little White Snake swimming through the air, Luo Qianqian couldn’t help but shiver. For some reason, she thought of caterpillars hanging from trees in the summer...

Swaying, not knowing when they’d fall to the ground, just thinking about it was... terrifying.

...

In the dense jungle, Luo Qianqian stood atop a large tree, camouflaging herself in the shadows of the branches. Dressed in a green outfit, she blended seamlessly with the forest, looking down from above. A fresh, vague aura emanated from her body.

”Oh?”

Luo Qianqian’s scanning gaze suddenly stopped, and she leapt down from the branch, shooting out like an arrow from a bowstring. But just as she reached the bush where she sensed something unusual, her body suddenly stopped, like she slammed the brakes before a collision, almost causing her to topple over.

She looked in shock at the Spiritual Beast in front of her.

”Another tiger?”

This was a pure white Spiritual Beast, its body resembling a tiger’s—tall and strong—yet completely devoid of stripes. Its snow-like body had no blemishes, looking like a snowball.

However, its eyes didn’t have the expected ferocity, with its tail raised high.

If not for the inappropriate size, she would have thought it was a cat.

The five of them had been separated, so she didn’t know what each of them was facing, which left her somewhat bewildered.

Little did she know, this Spiritual Beast was called the Illusory Tiger, possessing a water attribute and skilled at creating environments. It was one of the most ferocious creatures and extremely difficult to deal with. Once trapped within its Illusionary Realm, it was extremely hard to escape. Its fluffy fur concealed sharp, needle-like hairs that were exceedingly tough, able to cause injury with the slightest mistake, and, to make matters worse, it carried poison.

Just as she hesitated to make a move, the Illusory Tiger turned its calm eyes towards her and let out a low roar, releasing a stench that made her dizzy, then charged at Luo Qianqian ferociously.

Seeing this, Luo Qianqian quickly retreated. Although her hair had been burned off by Robbery Thunder, her brain was still intact. She deftly took out a dagger, staring straight at the Illusory Tiger, and the next second, she charged at it, thrusting the dagger mercilessly.

”Bang!”

Unexpectedly, the dagger broke the instant it made contact with the Illusory Tiger. At the same time, the Illusory Tiger revealed the Red Silk Bell tied under its neck.

This was her target. She hadn’t intended to kill it; it was just a non-lethal competition.

The Red Silk Bell was also tied to her ankle.

If her Red Silk Bell was taken by the Illusory Tiger, it meant she lost.

Everyone else was engaged in similar sparring, differentiated only by the color of the silk ribbon on their bells.

Luo Qianqian realized how tough the illusory tiger fur was, and immediately changed direction, circling behind the Illusory Tiger instead of waiting for its attack.

The Illusory Tiger reacted just as swiftly, turning around to face Luo Qianqian again. At this point, it was evident that both parties were fully warmed up and ready for a fierce battle.
