This abruptly appeared woman, in Lan Cai'er's view, spoke with a very strange accent.

She seemed to have just learned to speak not long ago, pronouncing each word slowly, sounding like a child. Furthermore, the woman's attire was quite unique.

Her clothes were wildly primitive, only covering her chest and lower body with two pieces of beast skin, barefoot and without shoes, appearing like a wild person.

Yet, the woman's appearance was quite extraordinary, with high nose and deep-set eyes, her plump lips slightly upturned, making her a very enticing woman.

"These Spiritual Beasts are yours!" Lan Cai'er recognized the Iron Flower Leopards, and seeing the woman surrounded by the Spiritual Beasts like a queen, Lan Cai'er instantly understood.

No wonder on the official road, so many wild Spiritual Beasts suddenly appeared, it must be because of this woman.

Just now, these beasts were not fleeing, but were going to get help.

"So what if they are, these are all food for Ah Hua and Houhou today, hand them over."

Those ferocious Spiritual Beasts, in the woman's words, seemed like her own little pets.

"Food? These are all living lives!" Lan Cai'er burst into fury upon hearing this.

This woman actually considered living people as food, such an inexcusable act, yet she spoke as if it were perfectly justifiable.

"Humans are naturally food for beasts. Humans eat beasts, so naturally beasts can also eat humans." The woman stubbornly said.

She was born in the Ancient Forest, a place where the law of the jungle ruled, in her view, if humans can enter to hunt beasts, naturally, beasts can also hunt humans.

"Ridiculous." Lan Cai'er placed the boy on the ground, her Spirit Whip crackling, the fierce whip wind split a nearby rock in two.

The strength of this woman was unclear to Lan Cai'er for the moment, but those Spiritual Beasts by her side were not to be underestimated.

Lan Cai'er was alone and weak, dealing with a dozen Fifth Stage Iron Flower Leopards was already difficult, and adding a few Seventh-stage Lion Roar Beasts, Lan Cai'er knew, her chances were slim this evening.

But even so, Lan Cai'er still wanted to fight.

With a "snap," Lan Cai'er's Red Snake Whip created countless whip shadows, her long legs stepped forward, charging into the beast herd.

The Beast Skin woman remained still, only issuing a strange cry from her throat, and the dozen Iron Flower Leopards suddenly pounced towards Lan Cai'er.

A burst of chilling whip wind was heard, the Primordial Power carried by the whip descended like a sudden storm in the dark night.

From the Dantian, Primordial Power surged out, and at this moment, Lan Cai'er fought more ferociously.

Suddenly, dozens of dark shadows unexpectedly flew out, the dozen Iron Flower Leopards were cast down, each bearing large and small wounds.

Seeing Lan Cai'er, with her own strength, injure a dozen Fifth Stage Spiritual Beasts, the Beast Skin woman was somewhat surprised.

Although Lan Cai'er had repelled the Iron Flower Leopards, her own state was not great, her Light Armor was damaged, clearly injured.

But even so, Lan Cai'er still had a fierce gleam in her eyes, staring at the Beast Skin girl, showing no intention of backing down.

"Make a move!"

Lan Cai'er's hands were trembling slightly, the surge of Primordial Power had almost depleted the energy in her Dantian.

But she was the daughter of Lan Yingwu, as a General's daughter, she could not easily fall.

Relying solely on her remaining willpower, Lan Cai'er still stood, hardly uttering that sentence.

The disdain in the Beast Skin girl's eyes slowly faded.

"You're qualified to be my opponent. Rest assured, after I beat you, I'll slice you up piece by piece, roast you, and feed you to Ah Hua and Houhou."

Such cruel words sound incredibly ordinary coming from the Beast Skin girl.

"Roast your mom!" Lan Cai'er almost lost her cool, the veins on her temples nearly bursting.

It's insulting, without even fighting yet, and already thinking about her meat.

A faint rustling sound, a Fanghe suddenly emerges in the sky, its body emitting a faint yellow light, upon seeing Lan Cai'er, it lands on her hand.

The Beast Skin woman evidently seeing Fanghe for the first time, was so curious that she forgot to attack.

As for Lan Cai'er, seeing Fanghe meant that Ye Lingyue had come for her.

This Fanghe was sent by Ye Lingyue to find Lan Cai'er.

"The crisis at the city walls is resolved, return to Dan City immediately. Sister, Ye Lingyue leaves this message."

As the Fanghe opens its mouth, Ye Lingyue's voice rings out.

Hearing that last name, the originally curious-looking Beast Skin girl's expression changes.

"You know Ye Lingyue?"

Lan Cai'er, wary, grabs Fanghe back.

"Qing Province List, Daxia Ye Lingyue?" The Beast Skin woman changes her previously murderous and roasting intent, pulling out a tattered booklet and pointing at it.

Lan Cai'er takes a few glances at the Beast Skin girl, unsure of what business she has with Ling Yue.

"I, challenge her." The Beast Skin woman's face is full of fighting spirit.

Here it comes!

Lan Cai'er instantly understands.

Being on the Qing Province List means facing many challengers, and it's been two months since Ye Lingyue was listed, finally someone wants to challenge her appears.

Lan Cai'er's mind races.

The enemy is strong, I'm weak, this Beast Skin woman is not weak.

If the fight continues, she'll certainly lose, better not...

"Indeed, I know Ye Lingyue, and I'm her sister. Her strength is much stronger, you and her, one on earth, one in heaven. Also her Spiritual Beasts, Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya, are very formidable. Much more so than your whatever Ah Cats and Ah Dogs." Lan Cai'er says proudly.

"It's Ah Hua and Houhou, not Ah Cats and Ah Dogs." The cheeks of the Beast Skin girl flush with anger.

She's not satisfied with Lan Cai'er's assessment.

The Beast Skin woman has lived in the Ancient Forest since she was young, hasn't interacted much with others, and is very simpleminded.

Whatever Lan Cai'er says, she believes.

Thinking that Ye Lingyue also raises Spiritual Beasts, and that they are stronger than her Ah Hua and Houhou, the desire to challenge Ye Lingyue intensifies in the Beast Skin woman.

"I don't care about any cats or dogs, anyway she's stronger than you. If you're not convinced, I can help arrange a time for you to compete with her, but first, I need to return to Dan City." Lan Cai'er stares at the Beast Skin woman, her palms sweating with nervousness, fearing that her intentions might be seen through.

"Let's compete, let her bring her Spiritual Beasts." The Beast Skin woman was initially in Daxia to find Ye Lingyue for a competition, but not knowing where in Daxia Ye Lingyue was, serendipitously ended up on the Xixia Plain.

"Alright, it's decided then, I'll depart immediately, in one month, come to Dan City to compete with Ye Lingyue." Lan Cai'er silently prays in her heart, hoping Ye Lingyue won't blame her, as she had no choice but to "sell her sister".
