I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

"Why did you steal my medicinal herbs? Give them back to me right now, or I will never let you get away with this."

These are the words spoken by a beautiful, purple-haired girl from the academy to Fang Yu.

Although this little girl is exquisitely beautiful and lovable, her fierce and tyrannical aura makes people feel wary.

Fang Yu was quite familiar with the little girl in front of him who wanted to steal his medicinal herbs; she was the Little Dragon Girl from the Dou Qi Continent.

So, facing this formidable little dragon girl, Fang Yu simply held her head down with one hand, letting her attack him wildly, but each attack was completely ineffective. No matter how much brute force or strength the little girl possessed, it was useless against Fang Yu, causing her utter harm. This infuriated the little girl, making her incredibly angry and furious—angry beyond measure, she had never been so angry before. Of course, there was also fear, fear she had never felt before. Even the Grand Elder had never had such a profound impact on her.

Even the Grand Elder was extremely wary of her brute strength, yet this man before her, a complete stranger, was able to bully her like a real little girl.

Just as the purple-haired little girl was about to pull out her trump card, she was suddenly drawn by an incredibly tempting aroma. She immediately stopped her frantic antics, and all eyes turned to the bottle the man had produced—the aroma was emanating from it. The fragrance made the little girl lick her lips; clearly, she was craving it and had become quite the little glutton. Fang Yu, however, wasn't surprised by the little girl's change and simply handed her the bottle.

Fang Yu hadn't expected to encounter a little girl here; it was quite unexpected. But since he had, he wasn't going to be stingy. So he took out a bottle of pills, which he had refined himself. These pills had an unparalleled attraction for magical beasts like little girls, helping them improve their strength and enhance their bloodline power.

However, in terms of bloodline power, no magical beast in the entire Dou Qi Continent can compare to the little dragon girl before them.

The purple-haired little girl in front of me is Xiaolongnu, the Xiaolongnu of Douqi Continent, the Ancient Dragon of the Void, Ziyan.

Fang Yu naturally adored the young dragon girl who hadn't grown up yet, but it was only the kind of affection a brother has for his sister. He wasn't that perverse about romantic love between men and women, so he could never have that kind of affection.

Although she accepted the bottle, Xiaolongnu did not eat from it. Instead, she held the bottle with a wary expression and looked at Fang Yu.

"Eat it, it's not poisoned. Besides, even if it were poisoned, it wouldn't affect you. Your identity is very special."

Fang Yu's words immediately made the little girl grasp the key point, and she became extremely anxious, even forgetting to take her pills, and hurriedly asked Fang Yu.

Do you know what kind of magical beast I am? Do you know my identity?

This is what Xiaolongnu cares about most.

After all, she cared too much about her identity, but unfortunately even the Grand Elder didn't know what her identity really was.

"Your identity is very special, and I can't tell you right now. Firstly, because you're too young and your strength isn't enough. Secondly, telling you would be quite dangerous for you, so please don't ask anymore. If you really want to know, I can only tell you when you reach the Dou Huang realm. Only when you reach the Dou Huang realm will you have some power to protect yourself. If you don't even have the power to protect yourself, then telling you will only harm you. So I hope you can understand and comprehend this."

Fang Yu's words caused Zi Yan's expression to change repeatedly, her little face scrunched up.

"But breaking through to the Douhuang realm isn't something that can be done in a day or two; it might even take a long time. In that case, when will I be able to find out? Tell me now, and I'll agree to help you with whatever I can."

"I will naturally tell you what I need your help with, and I will also give you ample reward. For example, I will give you many pills to help you improve your strength, enhance your strength, and strengthen your strength. In short, I will give you many benefits and will definitely not treat you unfairly. However, the condition is that you need to stay by my side. Only by staying by my side can you grow quickly and reach the Dou Huang realm as soon as possible. If you don't even reach the Dou Huang realm, then you will have absolutely no power to protect yourself in this Dou Qi Continent. You must understand that you can even say that only when you reach the Dou Zong realm will you have any power to protect yourself. I am not joking with you, but stating a fact. Your identity is far too special, so you..." You need sufficient self-defense capabilities, and what I can do is improve your strength as quickly as possible. The reason I'm doing this is because your identity is quite useful to me; I'll definitely need you in the future. You can think of it as an investment—an investment aimed at having you help me with things in the future, things that only you can do, things that no one else can. Do you understand? Of course, if you're unwilling later, I won't force you; you can rest assured about that. However, I hope you understand that everything I need you to do is very important, extremely important, and even closely related to you. From now on, you just need to stay by my side.”

Fang Yu's words made Xiaolongnu's expression complicated, filled with hesitation, anticipation, and a touch of wariness.

After all, Fang Yu gave her a feeling of ill intent, and it was this feeling that made her wary. At the same time, she was also full of anticipation, full of anticipation to break through to the Dou Huang realm as soon as possible, so that she could learn from Fang Yu what kind of magical beast she was and what her identity was.

"Don't worry, I won't harm you. You need to understand, if I harmed you, I wouldn't be able to get past the Grand Elder, and he would definitely not let me off the hook. So you can rest assured, I would never do anything to you. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. Anyway, if you don't follow me, I will never tell you your identity. It's not that I'm stingy, but I can't tell you your identity. Your identity is just too important."

Fang Yu's words made Xiaolongnu's expression even more complicated.

"Ziyan, from now on you will follow Young Master Xiao. I believe Young Master Xiao will not do anything to you."

Just as Xiaolongnu was hesitating, the Grand Elder's voice rang out, and as soon as the Grand Elder appeared, Xiaolongnu, Ziyan, immediately ran over.

"But, but what if he does something bad to me? I always feel like he's weird, and I can't beat him."

Although Xiaolongnu had wanted to leave the academy for a long time, she had never been able to do so because of the Grand Elder, who also forbade her to leave. Now that Fang Yu, a powerful figure, had appeared, it was natural to let Ziyan leave. "Don't worry, I believe Young Master Xiao won't do anything to you. Besides, haven't you always wanted to leave? Since you want to leave, then following Young Master Xiao is definitely the best choice."

The Grand Elder's words eased Xiaolongnu's initial anxiety considerably. Although she was fearless, she sensed danger from Fang Yu. Especially what Fang Yu had just done to her had made her incredibly uneasy.

All her methods had no effect on Fang Yu, which frightened her. It could be said that none of her methods were useful in front of Fang Yu, which was what she feared and worried about the most. That's why she was unwilling to follow Fang Yu, because Fang Yu gave her the feeling that she couldn't beat him or hurt him. On the contrary, in front of Fang Yu, she was no different from a little girl.

"The Grand Elder is right, so rest assured, I will never harm you. I've already made it very clear that I need you to do some things for me, things that only you can do, no one else can. For example, finding medicinal herbs. You are naturally gifted at finding medicinal herbs, so only you can do this. Once I release you, I will be able to find more medicinal herbs, which is a good thing for me, and also a good thing for you. After all, finding medicinal herbs will be of great use to both of us."

"At the very least, the pills I refine will definitely include your share, so you can rest assured that you will not be shortchanged. If you are still worried, then there is nothing I can do. You should stay in the academy and wait for the next person who can take you away from the academy to appear, but it will probably take a very, very long time."

Fang Yu's last words were his trump card, which directly convinced Xiaolongnu to agree.

After all, Xiaolongnu really didn't want to stay in the academy anymore, and she wanted to know her identity.

"Alright, I can follow you and help you find medicinal herbs, but if you dare to do anything bad to me, I will absolutely not let you off the hook."

As she spoke, she waved her little hand in a serious manner. However, her fierce appearance had no deterrent effect on Fang Yu. To Fang Yu, Xiaolongnu was just a younger sister, a younger sister who could help him find medicinal herbs.

Therefore, he will not harm Xiaolongnu.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I would never hurt you. If I did, I wouldn't be able to explain it to the Grand Elder, right? Here are your pills for this month. You need to agree to one condition: help me find medicinal herbs as soon as possible, and also find some magical beasts for me. I need powerful magical beasts. I think there should be some transformed magical beasts near this academy."

Fang Yu's words made Xiaolongnu very happy, and she immediately agreed.

"That's no problem, but I can't beat those kinds of magical beasts, so you'll have to deal with them yourself. Besides, they all have a lot of medicinal herbs."

"A magical beast at the Dou Zong level would be very dangerous for you to deal with, so please be careful."

Compared to Xiaolongnu, the Grand Elder became worried, since he didn't know much about Fang Yu's strength.

"Don't worry about that. This is nothing to me, and I don't need a little girl like you to lift a finger. You can rest assured that all you need to do is help me find the medicinal herbs. You don't need to worry about anything else; I'll handle everything else myself. I don't need your help, and even if you wanted to, you couldn't. Your strength is too weak. You're lucky if you don't cause me any trouble. Your only use right now is helping me find the medicinal herbs. Don't be too angry. Don't worry, once I find the herbs, I'll definitely make sure you get your share. I'll definitely refine even better pills for you. I absolutely won't let you suffer any losses."

Fang Yu gently patted Xiaolongnu's head and made a promise. His words calmed Xiaolongnu's anger considerably. The Grand Elder then told Fang Yu all the information he had gathered over the years about the transformed magical beasts in the nearby magical beast mountains. Of course, magical beasts that could become transformed were naturally extraordinary in strength, and the mountains they occupied were also very large. Most importantly, since they had already transformed, they were very likely to enter the human world.

In this situation, they may not stay in the same place, so finding them is not an easy task.

"Don't worry, I'll only hunt one or two, at most one or two, it won't have a big impact."

Fang Yu hunted down demonic beasts of the Transformation level in preparation for the resurrection of Venerable Heavenly Fire.

After all, resurrection requires the essence of a Dou Zong-level magical beast. Under these circumstances, he naturally had to make preparations and could not afford any delays. If there were any delays, it could very well affect the resurrection of Venerable Tianhuo. Although Venerable Tianhuo had appeared much earlier because of his appearance, resurrecting him was not an easy task; at least, thorough preparations were necessary.

"Alright, I'm off to the Monster Mountain Range to hunt down monsters of the Transformation Rank. Little girl, you can come along. Don't worry, I won't let you fight. If you sense anything amiss, just leave immediately. I won't let you be in any danger, so you can rest assured."

Fang Yu's words completely put Xiaolongnu at ease, and she immediately nodded in agreement.

"As long as I don't have to do anything, that's fine."

Although she still couldn't fully trust Fang Yu, Xiaolongnu didn't hesitate at all.

After all, she still wanted to eat delicious pills, so it was impossible for her to really ignore it.
