Chapter 565 I want to become stronger
Thanks to the barrier-breaking pills that Luo Ziqin had prepared in advance, they no longer needed to wait for the miasma in the Hundred Miasma Forest to dissipate. Song Yunting also gave them a small Gu worm to guide them, which could quickly lead them across the forest back to the entrance.

However, as they passed through the heart of the forest and continued outwards, they sensed fluctuations of spiritual energy in the distance. The Hundred Miasma Forest was currently shrouded in miasma, and at this time, only disciples of the Gu lineage or those seeking fortune through peril would enter. But the former wouldn't stray too far from the Gu lineage, and the latter wouldn't stray too far from the entrance; in other words, neither of these groups would appear in the central area.

The group exchanged glances, tacitly concealing their presence as they approached the direction of the spiritual energy fluctuations.

As they drew closer, Qing Sang suddenly stopped. She could sense Er Fu's presence... Er Fu had left the Hundred Miasma Forest long ago with Xiao Hui and Bai Qianhe, so why was he here now? Qing Sang frowned, gathered her energy, and leaped several times to quickly approach, with the others following closely behind.

Perched atop a tall tree, Qing Sang spotted a slender young girl battling a mutated thunder leopard. Her hands gleamed with a cold light, wielding two short swords. She moved nimbly around the leopard, each close-range attack leaving a bloody wound. Just as the leopard furiously pursued the girl, unleashing a lightning attack, a white figure would suddenly appear behind it, slashing a deep gash in its back. The leopard roared and turned, but the white figure had vanished without a trace, while the girl silently closed in. The girl handled close-quarters combat, moving nimbly and decisively. The white-clad youth moved erratically, sometimes seizing opportunities to attack with his sword, sometimes harassing the girl with arrows from afar. Their teamwork was seamless; the mutated thunder leopard, initially stronger than them, was quickly worn down and finally pierced through by a single sword strike.

After catching their breath, the two swallowed a pill. They then each took out their preferred tools and began processing the corpse: pulling teeth, skinning, removing the core, and shaving bones—all done in one fluid motion. They didn't exchange a word, yet their coordination was seamless, as if they had performed this a thousand times before. Finally, only a pile of fresh meat remained neatly stacked to one side. The two stood up, seemingly waiting for something. But after waiting for a long time, everything remained quiet. The girl's initially serious and ruthless expression slowly turned anxious. After a long while, just as they were about to go and search, a small white-furred beast ran over and began to devour the meat, followed by six people.

"Why didn't you go out?" Qing Sang asked with a smile to the excited girl and young man. They were none other than Xiao Hui and Bai Qianhe. It had only been half a month since they last saw each other, but both seemed to have changed a lot. The once lively and mischievous girl now possessed composure and competence. The once颓废 and frivolous young man had also matured, cultivating a refined demeanor and growing into a true chivalrous gentleman.

When Xiao Hui saw Qing Sang, she was so excited that she instinctively wanted to speak, but then she suddenly remembered that they couldn't speak at the moment. So, she anxiously gestured with her hands, pointing to her mouth and nose.

Qing Sang understood; they must have used their spiritual power to seal their mouths and noses to resist the miasma. She took out the barrier-breaking pills that Song Yunting had given them and gave one to each of them. The two of them took them and swallowed them directly, and found that they were no longer bothered by the miasma.

"Master!" As soon as the miasma was cleared, Xiao Hui excitedly rushed into Qing Sang's arms and hugged her tightly. "You're finally out!"

Qing Sang let her hold her for a while, then patted her head, chuckling slightly. She had just wanted to praise her for becoming more mature and composed, but now she was like a child snuggling in her arms, refusing to leave. "Tell me, what happened?"

Xiao Hui stepped out of her embrace, her still somewhat immature face showing determination as she said, "I want to become stronger! I want to become Master's helper, to fight alongside Master! Instead of just standing behind Master! I can definitely do it!"
