Urban Martial Saint

Listening to the biting sound, feeling the trembling of the petals caused by the biting, Ye Qing no longer had time to ponder what was happening. His sole thought was that if this thing could bite through the Devouring Demon Flower, then he might have a chance to escape alive!

The biting sound did not stop, and Ye Qing excitedly leaned on the petal, feeling the spot on the petal with his hand. He could distinctly feel that the petal was gradually getting thinner. That is to say, the thing biting the petals outside could indeed bite through the petals of the Devouring Demon Flower. This was truly astonishing!

Isn’t it said that apart from the Xuanyuan Sword and Minghong Knife, other Famed Instruments couldn’t harm the Devouring Demon Flower? So how could there be something that could simply use its teeth to bite through it? Could the teeth of this thing be more formidable than the Xuanyuan Sword and Minghong Knife?

Heart pounding with shock and excitement, Ye Qing waited nervously inside the Devouring Demon Flower, hoping for the thing to bite it open. Regardless, if the Devouring Demon Flower could be opened, Ye Qing would have a chance to survive!

After a while, the petal of the Devouring Demon Flower became increasingly thin. Finally, amidst Ye Qing’s anticipation, the petal was bitten through, and a furry mouth directly touched Ye Qing’s palm.

Ye Qing was stunned for a moment and instinctively wanted to retreat. However, the mouth didn’t bite him; instead, it sniffed his palm, seemingly without ill intent.

Ye Qing was surprised; from the feel, he could tell it was indeed a small animal, not very large. Moreover, its fur was smooth, and the touch was particularly comfortable. He didn’t know what it was, but certainly not a mouse or the like. Additionally, this little creature showed no hostility. It sniffed his palm and even extended its tongue to lick it, causing a tickling sensation that eased his initial caution. Ye Qing reached out to gently stroke the little thing as if teasing a dog at home.

The little creature seemed to enjoy Ye Qing’s touch, surprisingly sticking its head inside, sniffing around Ye Qing, as if searching for something.

The inside of the Devouring Demon Flower was still dark; Ye Qing couldn’t clearly see the appearance of this little creature. However, since it had no ill intent, Ye Qing was less worried. He reached his hand through the petal’s opening and tugged, finding the petal still very resilient and impossible to tear open, prompting him to give up again. It seemed relying on his strength alone was impossible to open the Devouring Demon Flower; it still depended on the little creature.

By this time, the little creature had already crawled to Ye Qing’s right side, sniffing his arm for a long while before suddenly placing its paw on Ye Qing’s hand, scratching vigorously.

”What’s the matter?” Ye Qing asked in surprise, feeling the little one’s action. Spreading his palm open, he curiously asked, ”What are you looking for?”

In Ye Qing’s palm was the bottle of Ziyu Chenxiang Pill. As soon as he spread his hand, the little creature immediately leaped up and hugged the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill bottle.

”You want the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill?” Ye Qing was astonished, thinking the little creature wasn’t silly, immediately reaching for the most precious item.

Of course, the little creature didn’t respond, but it held the bottle of Ziyu Chenxiang Pill tightly, exerting force yet unable to open the bottle, its teeth making a clattering sound against it.

Ye Qing listened beside with a face full of astonishment; logically, if this little creature could break the Devouring Demon Flower, its teeth must be exceptionally strong. But why couldn’t it bite through the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill bottle? What was going on?

Despite feeling doubtful and surprised, Ye Qing reached over to help the little creature open the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill bottle, pouring out two pills, and laughed, ”Come, come, have some food first, and then help me bite open this Devouring Demon Flower. If you get me out, I’ll let you eat the whole bottle, okay?”

As soon as Ye Qing placed the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills over, the little creature immediately pounced, taking them all without giving Ye Qing a chance to react. Whether it understood Ye Qing’s words or not, it quickly carried the two pills aside, chomped them down, and swallowed them whole in just a few bites. Its speed of eating was indeed fast.

Listening to the sound, Ye Qing’s mood improved significantly. Although he couldn’t see the little creature’s appearance, he found it cute, reminding him of the little White Fox he encountered here last time. Originally, he intended to give a few Ziyu Chenxiang Pills to the little White Fox, but now it seemed impossible.

After eating those two pills, the little creature again slipped to Ye Qing’s side, stretched out its small paw to hug Ye Qing’s arm, and climbed up, once again eyeing the medicine bottle in Ye Qing’s hand.

”We agreed, you get me out, and I’ll let you eat all these Ziyu Chenxiang Pills!” Ye Qing said, ”You’ve already eaten two, now isn’t it time to help me a bit? This little hole is too small, you can pass through, but I can’t get out. Can you help bite bigger?”

Ye Qing’s words made the little creature stop its action. It lay on Ye Qing’s arm, seeming to be pondering something. After a while, it suddenly jumped off Ye Qing’s arm, directly climbing onto the petal, and started chewing along the opening again.

Ye Qing spoke to this little creature, actually treating a dead horse like a living one; he never expected this little creature to be so obedient. Seeing the little creature start gnawing at the Devouring Demon Flower, Ye Qing was stunned. Could it be that this little creature understands human language? Impossible, right? It’s just a small animal. Has it become a spirit?

Despite Ye Qing’s heart being filled with disbelief, the reality was just that way. The little creature chewed its way along the opening, biting a long seam into the petals of the Devouring Demon Flower.

Feeling the seam in the petals of the Devouring Demon Flower growing larger, Ye Qing’s excitement rose. He knew that at this rate, he indeed had a hope of escaping!

The little creature’s chewing speed wasn’t fast; after all, it wasn’t very big, only about the size of a palm. However, Ye Qing was incredibly excited, as there was finally hope.

After a full half-hour, the petals of the Devouring Demon Flower were bitten by the little creature into a gap about half a meter wide. And this gap was already enough for Ye Qing to escape from inside the Devouring Demon Flower.

”Little one, that’s enough!” Ye Qing cried out in excitement, quickly saying, ”Step back, I’m coming out!”

The little creature seemed to understand Ye Qing’s words, immediately jumping out from the petals. Ye Qing grabbed the gap with both hands and forcefully pried it open, a beam of light shone directly in from outside, leaving Ye Qing momentarily dazzled.

This Cave did have some light. However, the light could not penetrate the Devouring Demon Flower, making it exceptionally dark inside. And now, with the Devouring Demon Flower opened, Ye Qing naturally saw the light outside.

Ye Qing had been in the darkness for so long that his eyes naturally had difficulty adjusting to the sudden light. He blinked several times, trying his best to get used to the light, then pushed the Devouring Demon Flower aside and crawled out directly.

The Devouring Demon Flower was hanging on the stone wall, and as Ye Qing came out, he directly fell to the ground a meter below. However, Ye Qing couldn’t care less about the pain. As soon as he landed, he jumped up and couldn’t help but shout, ”I’m finally out!”

Being trapped for so long, he was almost in despair. Now that he was finally free, his feelings were indescribable.

At this moment, a faint rustling sound suddenly came from beside him, one that sounded very familiar.

Ye Qing quickly turned his head to look, and not far away, there was a White Fox about the size of a palm, its round, bright black eyes staring at him from a distance. Seeing Ye Qing look its way, the little creature blinked eagerly and ran up to Ye Qing, climbing up his clothes onto his shoulder.

”Little White Fox, is it you?” Ye Qing was overjoyed. This White Fox was the very Little White Fox he had seen the first time he entered Beimang Mountain. The little creature was extremely adorable, and every time Ye Qing saw it, it stayed on his mind. This time, he brought the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill specifically, thinking he wouldn’t see it again. Who would have thought that, just after escaping from the Devouring Demon Flower, he would meet this Little White Fox!

The Little White Fox seemed to understand Ye Qing’s words. It lay on Ye Qing’s shoulder, its small tail wagging, with its little paws gripping tightly onto Ye Qing’s clothes, its cute eyes bright and lively. After staring at Ye Qing for a while, its gaze finally settled on the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill in Ye Qing’s hand.

Seeing the Little White Fox like this, Ye Qing couldn’t help but smile. This little creature was indeed gluttonous.

”Here, for you.” Ye Qing handed a Ziyu Chenxiang Pill to the Little White Fox, then put away the bottle, saying, ”The rest I can’t give you, a little creature just saved me, and I promised to give these to it!”

After speaking, Ye Qing turned and began to search for the little creature that had saved him earlier. However, after looking around, there was nothing else in this Cave at all.

”Huh? Where’s the little creature that saved me just now?” Ye Qing wondered aloud. That little creature saved him for the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill. How could it be gone now? Could it be that he encountered the Lei Feng of the animal world, doing good deeds without leaving a name?

Just then, Ye Qing’s ears suddenly caught a crunching sound. Ye Qing turned his head to look, and saw the Little White Fox stuffing the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill into its mouth, biting into it with great relish. The sound of its teeth on the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill was surprisingly familiar to Ye Qing!

Wasn’t this the exact sound that the little creature made when gnawing on the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill just now?
