Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 106 Fur Ball

"Click!"

As the lock was opened, a thick layer of dust rushed out, accompanied by a strong musty smell.

Tie was caught off guard and choked, coughing for a while before he recovered.

Guan Xun waved his hand lightly in front of him, walked past him and straight into the house. The flames on his fingertips flickered and instantly burned away the large area of ​​spider webs blocking his way.

The burnt smell and the grayish-black smoke caused Tiehe, who had just entered the room, to cough violently once again.

"Cough cough, where are the demon beasts?" he asked, covering his mouth and nose.

Guan Xun glanced around, his gaze settling on a pile of broken tables, chairs, and wood. He then turned and gestured, "Move all that wood away."

Tie He felt a surge of confusion. He had personally piled up the wood, making sure it was packed tightly to save space. What kind of monster could possibly hide in such a place...? Moreover, monsters have a strong sense of territory. They had all come in, but there hadn't been any movement. Could there really be...?

Despite thinking this way, he still obediently went to move it.

As the pile of wood gradually decreased, a rustling sound actually began to rise from the previously quiet surroundings.

Tie He's expression grew increasingly solemn. He immediately stopped what he was doing, stood up straight, and gathered spiritual energy in his hands, striking fiercely towards the source of the commotion!

If it really is a monster, getting too close will result in an attack, so this method is the best course of action.

"boom!"

The moment the explosion rang out, the wood was blasted everywhere, and the entire room was instantly filled with dust, blurring all vision.

Guan Xun had already retreated outside the door the moment the dust hit him, and was now standing in the courtyard, staring intently at the source of the dust.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Just as Tiehe rushed out, coughing, a small black shadow was faster than him, whizzing past him and heading in the direction the dust was drifting.

Out.

Guan Xun's slender fingers moved slightly, and amidst the swirling white mist, sharp, crystalline ice darts hovered beneath her fingertips. As she raised her arm, the ice darts trembled incessantly before shooting straight at the small black shadow!

One after another, they relentlessly pierced through the thick dust.

The little black figure was so frightened that it kept dodging left and right. Although it was very agile, it was eventually pierced by the ice dart and pinned heavily to the wall.

Chi Rong's little tail, sticking out from outside his robe sleeve, flicked idly as he looked at the little fish beside him: "You also think that Master is a very boring person, right? He could have just slapped that thing to death."

Little Fish: ......

While Tiehe was catching his breath, the dust had already settled, and when he turned around, he saw something nailed to the wall.

With long, drooping hair covering its entire body, it was actually a jet-black fur ball, looking like a round, mutated moldy sphere.

"This...this is the monster?" Tie He exclaimed in surprise. There really was a monster! He had never seen a monster that would hide in a human dwelling before, and it seemed to have no aggression at all.

Just then, a series of violent coughs came from inside the room, making people panic, as if the coughs were about to rupture the lungs.

Tie He's heart sank. Didn't Aunt Li say that Xuanxuan was feeling much better? Why is she coughing so badly? He didn't care about the monsters anymore and hurriedly went into the house.

After everyone left, Guan Xun walked towards the ball of fur.

She had barely taken a step closer when a strong musty smell assaulted her nostrils, emanating from the fur ball. She couldn't help but hold her breath.

This unknown monster was actually eleventh-tier, yet it was completely unaggressive. When I attacked it just now, I clearly felt that it was extremely weak, so weak that, just as Chi Rong had said, it could be easily killed with a single slap.

Someone of this rank should be able to take human form, but it's a pity, being nailed like this, they must be dead by now.

Thinking it over, Guan Xun took off the ice dart.

Just as the tip of the dart loosened, the fluffy ball actually flicked the ice dart away. It trembled a few times and tried to run outside, but Guan Xun grabbed its long fur and easily lifted it up.

"You're quite cunning. I thought you were dead for good."

With no eyes or nose, she couldn't tell which side of the furry ball's face was, so she could only curiously ask the dark side, "What kind of monster are you?"

"Yingyingyingyang!"

"Being cute won't work, you have to say something."

"嘤嘤嘤!"

Guan Xun was quite helpless: "A mute?"

"嘤嘤嘤!"

Guan Xun fell into deep thought...

No matter what you ask, there's only one answer. It feels like it has no intelligence, which is a bit strange.

"Chi Rong, can you tell what it's saying?"

“It didn’t say anything, it just made noises.” Chi Rong poked her little head out and pulled Xiao Yu out as well. “Let Xiao Yu hear it.”

Guan Xun turned to look at Xiao Yu: "Hmm?"

Little Fish glanced at the fluffy ball and said in a nonchalant tone, "A spirit beast."

"A spirit beast? What is that?" Guan Xun was slightly taken aback; he had never heard of it before.

"Born in response to things, no matter how high the rank, it will not develop intelligence."

This must be due to the accumulation of dust and mold over the years, which led to the formation of this fuzzy ball.

If something is weak and lacks intelligence, then it is useless.

Guan Xun nodded in realization, glancing past the still whimpering ball of fur, and casually tossed it toward Chi Rong, saying, "Eat it."

Chi Rong was extremely agile and swallowed it whole.

"You..." Little Fish finally shut her mouth.

"No need to be jealous, my master has always been so good to me." Chi Rong proudly raised its tail. Although the fur ball had no intelligence, it had a beast core. After all, its rank was what it was. It was useless to its master, but it was of great use to it.

Tiehe also came out of the house at this moment. He was surprised to see that Maotuan was no longer on the wall. When he heard that Maotuan had accidentally escaped, his face immediately turned serious.

The demonic beast is ferocious; if it were to retaliate...

"It's just a cowardly little monster. If it really had any malicious intent, why would it have been hiding in the house for so long?" Guan Xun immediately saw what the other person was worried about and casually said a few words.

"That's true." Tie He breathed a slight sigh of relief, then hesitated, "Young lady, your medical skills are superb, I..."

"I would like to ask you to examine my sister. Just name your fee, and I will definitely raise the money for you!"

His face was grave, and he sighed helplessly, "Her illness is getting worse. Although she seems a little more energetic, she still coughs badly and always says she feels heavy all over. The medicine at the doctor's clinic isn't ineffective, but... every time she's almost cured, the illness relapses. I had no other choice but to ask you for help..."

Guan Xun seemed not to have heard him. He reached out and patted the dust off his dress, but when he saw that it wasn't clean, he gave up.

The open courtyard was filled with layers of dust, and even after you wiped it clean, the dust would still stick to it.

“Is there anywhere I can wash and bathe?” she asked.

Tiehe was taken aback, then his eyes dimmed, but he still put on a smile: "I'll fetch some well water for you later, and you can take a bath after boiling it."

Guan Xun waved his hand: "Are there any ponds or pools around here?"

"Go through the alley and you'll find a bamboo grove with a small lake. However, there are many green snakes that hide on the bamboo. People who go there are often bitten, so over time, the area has become deserted."

Tiehe frowned, somewhat worried: "Miss, are you planning to go? The light is poor at night, it's quite dangerous. Why don't we wait until tomorrow morning and I'll go with you?"

"It's alright." Guan Xun turned and headed towards the door, waving his hand at him. "If you want your sister to recover, find her a different place to recuperate."

“Your room is the source of the recurrence of the illness; it smells very moldy.”
