Although it is almost certain that the person in front of her is a disciple from the Beggars’ Union and may even be vice-Union Master Bei Xiaolu. However, Xue Qilin still asked, pretending not to believe her, “Who are you trying to deceive! You dog beating staff [1]!”
“Dog beating staff? What nonsense is that?”
Bei Xiaolu asked dully in reply. Xue Qilin smiled disdainfully.
“Heh, you don’t even know about the dog beating staff? How dare you call yourself a person from the Beggars’ Union! I think you’re just a petty thief!”
“Screw you! Do you want me to beat you to a pulp!”
“Bring it on! Let’s see who’s beating whom to a pulp!”
Like mad old women on the street, the two hurled abuses at one another and rolled up their sleeves, ready to knock the other party down.
They seem to have forgotten one thing. Both Xue Qilin and the lass who refers ton herself as “this old one” forgot that the collision accident was caused by an external force.
The thing that finally made them remember were the sounds of fast approaching, heavy running.
The two stopped hurling abuses at one another at the same time.
Bei Xiaolu looked in the direction the sounds are coming from and cried out in displeasure, “Curses, this old one forgot about it and accompanied you idiot in a scolding match! I’m in trouble because of you!”
What does that have to do with me?! — Xue Qilin was about to say this, when a huge figure covered by moonlight ejected from the woods opposite the brook and fell into the brook.
Water splashed in all directions. There is an overwhelming silver being.
It’s a wolf.
An enormous wolf.
It’s bigger than a tiger or a lion. In fact, it’s as big as a cow or a horse. The silver fur is as lustrous as needles, the thick limbs contain tremendous power, the claws and fang shimmering with a cold radiance and seem able to tear adult men into pieces at any time.
Its cyan-blue eyes full of ferocity are staring at Bei Xiaolu beside Xue Qilin, clearly angry.
Noticing its line of sight, Xue Qilin blankly moved her eyes to Bei Xiaolu, pointed at the silver wolf gnashing its teeth, and asked, “What did you do to provoke it?”
“Who the hell knows! I accidentally stepped on its tail, that’s all!”
“Hiss –! You actually stepped on its tail?!”
Except for a freak like Beiming Youyu, creatures with a tail won’t easily forgive those who step on their tail. At least the silver wolf didn’t forgive Bei Xiaolu.
“Drat, I was just careless! Besides, I’ve already apologized and said that I’ll give it some wine!” Bei Xiaolu stamped her feet angrily, “But it’s really petty. It even chased me for several li [2] and finally kicked me with its hind legs! It would try the patience of a saint!”
That’s an expert who has reached the late-stage Heaven Realm for you…
Although Xue Qilin’s face is full of schadenfreude, but she secretly mused thusly.
The silver wolf glaring at Bei Xiaolu obviously isn’t an ordinary wolf. Although it isn’t certain that it is a martial demon, but it actually exudes a powerful breath similar to that of a Heaven Realm practitioner. However, Bei Xiaolu, who was kicked by its hind legs, is bickering with Xue Qilin as if it’s of no concern to her, which proves that she’s strong.
“The one surnamed Bei, if you want to run away, then hurry up and go!”
Xue Qilin, who still bears a grudge against the other party, spoke in a peculiar voice.
“Bastard! Xue Qilin, I will sell you to a brothel one day!” Bei Xiaolu is about to blow her top, “Just you wait!”
“That so? First get rid of this poor wolf whose tail you ac, ci, den, tal, ly stepped on and then we’ll talk!”
Xue Qilin waved her hand disapprovingly and no longer looked at Bei Xiaolu.
“Very well! I will remember you, Xue Qilin!”
After leaving a few fierce words behind, Bei Xiaolu turned around, kicked off the ground, and rushed away, cutting a sorry figure.
As the saying goes, “If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move, if the enemy moves, I will move”. Seeing that Bei Xiaolu wants to escape, the silver wolf revealed a nimbleness that doesn’t match its huge body and jumped up abruptly.
“Whoa, that’s high!”
Xue Qilin exclaimed when she saw the silver wolf leap into the air.
Despite the late start, the silver wolf streaked across above Bei Xiaolu’s head and fell in front of her.
“Tsk, you bastard really want to fight this old one, don’t you!”
Bei Xiaolu, whose path was blocked, clicked her tongue loudly, inclined her legs, and braked her momentum with brute force, raising a cloud of dust. With the dust blurring vision, she seized this opportunity to change directions and chose another path of escape.
However, the senses of animals are much more acute than those of humans.
Bei Xiaolu just rushed out of the cloud of dust, when the silver wolf had already jumped to in front of her once more and shouted in a human voice, “Don’t waste your energy!”
“Bei Xiaolu, you’re really slow!”
Xue Qilin couldn’t help laughing. For Bei Xiaolu, who was already quite upset, this was like adding oil to the fire.
With a fake smile, the corners of Bei Xiaolu’s mouth twitched and her eyebrows jumped up.
“Ha-ha-ha, very well, very well…” Bei Xiaolu’s face darkened, “This old one is getting angry!”
With that, she violently stamped her foot, and the ground cracked. This action of hers was not so much to vent her anger as to intimidate the other party.
That’s quite kind of her — Xue Qilin mused.
Although the silver wolf possesses a breath equivalent to the Heaven Realm, but there is still a great gap between it and Bei Xiaolu, who is a late-stage Heaven Realm practitioner. On the other hand, people can use martial arts, while wolves can’t. That is to say, if a fight erupts, the silver wolf will definitely suffer a loss at Bei Xiaolu’s hands.
Probably because she wants to avoid this, Bei Xiaolu backed down again and again. Of course, it may just be that she doesn’t want to stir up trouble.
However, the other party didn’t appreciate her kindness.
All of a sudden, the silver wolf walking back and forth in front of Bei Xiaolu pounced at the petite lass. Before it reached the lass, it’s figure had already cast a shadow over her.
— the momentum of a clap of thunder and the force of a mountain.
If it connects, it will be unbearable. However, the person being attacked has the intention to resist.
Bei Xiaolu condensed true qi in her feet and used the “Thousand Jin Weight” to stabilize her body. Her feet sank into the ground with a bang.
“Ha!”
A dragon roar-like shout came out of her mouth and a dragon projection wrapped around her small palms — this is an effect produced by “Dragon Subduing Palm”, a unique skill of the Beggars’ Union.
When the two collided, her palms quickly pressed against its nose and jaw respectively.
Then, a violent crash ensued.
The impact set off an intense force that made Xue Qilin’s hair and sleeves flutter disorderly and issue rustling noises.
Bearing a tremendous force, Bei Xiaolu was pushed several meters away, digging two deep trenches in the ground. Although she didn’t stand firmly in place, but she still resisted the silver wolf.
The seemingly weak lass forcibly resisted the collision with the silver wolf, who is several times bigger than her. This scene is enough to have one’s jaw drop.
In fact, Xue Qilin is quite astonished.
If it was her instead, she isn’t sure that she would be able to resist it that easily.
She deserves to be called “Dragon Vanquisher” Bei Xiaolu. Xue Qilin is a little impressed.
