Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 33 The Bitter Meat Scheme

"Kaishan Martial Arts School is under the influence of the Su family, so it's not surprising that the Su family would send someone to handle this matter. What I didn't expect was that the person who came was actually Fairy Su Qing."

Zhao Qian had heard of Su Xianzi's name in Zishui City.

Su Qing was not the direct descendant of the Su family patriarch, but she was the only one among the younger generation of the Su family with spiritual roots.

It is said that she became a disciple of the Three Immortals Cave at the age of twelve and has remarkable talent in alchemy. I heard recently that her cultivation has broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"Wang!"

In the backyard, Da Huang barked at Ji Cheng, as if asking if Ji Cheng had heard it.

Ji Cheng nodded, surprised that a cultivator would come to Wuzhen.

The silver bell bracelet of Fairy Su must be a magic weapon, and with a Azure Flame Rabbit by her side, she should be able to easily overpower Zhou Mu.

Unfortunately, he never got to see what the cultivators and Azure Flame Rabbits of this world actually looked like.

The Azure Flame Rabbit must also be a demon beast, right?

He had just heard the butler mention spirit beasts, but he didn't quite understand them. They could unleash fire attacks, but he wondered what rank they were.
Ji Cheng deeply felt the limitations imposed on him as a chicken.

If he were a person, he could learn relevant knowledge by reading books, thereby deepening his understanding of the world, such as martial arts, cultivation, monsters, worldviews, and other aspects.

But as a chicken, he only dared to venture out at night, confined to this small world, and could only obtain very little information.

The only person he could communicate with was a dog, and even that dog couldn't express itself in words.

This is also one of the main reasons why he is keen to develop cautiously and discreetly.

"Old Huang, how are the Mu family mother and her two daughters doing?"

Master Zhao asked with concern, "The Mu family has really suffered a terrible fate this time."

"They're all fine now. I saw Fairy Su feed the three of them healing pills, and their complexions have visibly improved."

Old Huang revealed that Mrs. Mu and the Su family are said to have some connection, seemingly being distant relatives.

With this connection, Fairy Su will surely take good care of the Mu family mother and her two daughters.

Madam Zhao was heartbroken. All the men of the Mu family were dead, leaving only three women, all of whom had been defiled by that man surnamed Zhou. How were they supposed to live?

"brute!"

Zhao Yan coldly cursed.

When she first met Zhou Mu the day before yesterday, she felt somewhat uncomfortable with his gaze.

This hypocrite has clearly done this kind of thing many times.

"Cough cough cough..."

After coughing for a while, Zhao Kun said with a pale face, "We need to be careful of that wolf demon that has broken free of control."

His words reminded everyone that the wolf demon posed a great threat to the people of Wuzhen and that they should be wary of it.

The monster that ate Wang Lei a while ago hasn't appeared since and hasn't harmed anyone again, so everyone just pretends it doesn't exist. Maybe it has already left Wuzhen.

But Zhou Mu's wolf demon could easily devour more than a dozen people in one night, making it far more dangerous than the demon beast that ate Wang Lei.

"Young Master, what is the strength of that wolf demon? Are you capable of dealing with it?"

Butler Huang looked at Zhao Qian. He had heard that some powerful martial artists would even go into the mountains to hunt monsters.

Zhao Qian shook his head: "With that wolf demon's strength, even a martial artist who has reached the Great Perfection of Inner Strength can barely hold it off, but only a master of the Opening Meridian Realm can subdue it."

There are only a handful of experts at the Opening Meridian Realm in Wuzhen, just a few museum owners and gang leaders.

Zhao Qiancai was only at the initial stage of internal energy cultivation. If he were to face the wolf demon head-on, he would become its prey within three rounds at most.

After listening to these words, Ji Cheng had a rough idea of ​​the strength of martial artists at different levels.

"Sigh, let's pray that the Snake Gang and the Green Bamboo Gang can capture that wolf demon as soon as possible, otherwise our Wuzhen will be in trouble!"

Old Huang sighed, and Madam Zhao nodded, thinking the same thing. "Big brother! Big brother! Shocking news!"

At this moment, Master Zhao returned from outside, looking travel-worn, wanting to tell everyone about Fairy Su's battle with Zhou Mu.

As soon as he entered the room, he noticed that everyone's eyes were on him with strange expressions. He realized what was happening and asked, "No, you all know?"

Everyone nodded mechanically, while Old Master Zhao slapped his thigh in frustration: "Oh dear, Old Huang, you!"

……

at night.

Ji Cheng's time for some fresh air has arrived.

He flew to the big poplar tree to check on the magpie's progress in incubating its eggs, and he was already impatient to eat that old man.

Hmm, there's still no sign of it hatching.

He immediately pointed at the magpie and berated it, saying, "Useless thing! You didn't even know someone laid their eggs in your nest, and you're so slow at incubating them. What use are you?!"
The magpie continued to chatter at Ji Cheng, like a woman cursing in a dialect.

Ji Cheng couldn't understand it, but he felt that it must have been cursing very filthy.

After scaring the magpie, Ji Cheng looked up at the night sky and said, "I wonder when this chaos in Wuzhen will end. All I want to do is cockfight!"

These days, Master Zhao has lost interest in cockfighting. Seeing that the number after the title isn't long, Ji Cheng felt a little sad.

As Ji Cheng won more matches during this period, people remembered certain subtle characteristics of him, making it less effective to use a stand-in to deceive them.

Therefore, Ji Cheng always took the stage in cockfights, and Master Zhao was determined to win as much as he could.

"Wang!"

Suddenly, Big Yellow barked and stood up, looking warily in one direction.

Ok?
Ji Cheng was somewhat surprised. He was standing so high up and hadn't noticed anything. What was Da Huang doing?
He couldn't help but wonder if, after becoming a demon, Da Huang had focused all his talents on his sense of smell and hearing.

"Wang!"

Big Yellow looked up and barked at Ji Cheng. Then it impatiently took off its collar and crawled out of the dog hole.

It ran in one direction, its expression more solemn than ever before.

Ji Cheng guessed what was going on.

Sure enough, not long after, a wolf demon appeared in his field of vision, which was Zhou Mu's escaped mount.

The wolf demon's target was clearly the Zhao residence, and Ji Cheng understood Da Huang's intention: to stop the wolf demon here and prevent it from getting close to the Zhao residence and causing harm.

"Big Yellow, Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, you can't beat it."

Ji Cheng reminded him that although he was also shocked as to why this wolf demon would appear here and come towards the Zhao residence.

In the evening, he heard from a servant of the Zhao family that the Snake Gang and the Green Bamboo Gang had organized many strong men to capture the wolf demon, which had most likely escaped into the depths of the mountains and forests.

Now, the wolf demon's figure has been spotted near the Zhao residence.

He couldn't help but conspiratorially wonder if it was possible that the wolf demon hadn't escaped Zhou Mu's control.

Zhou Mu deliberately made it appear in public that the wolf demon had broken free of his beast-taming technique because of Fairy Su's spell, thus distancing himself from the wolf demon and claiming that any future harm caused by the wolf demon would be attributed to Fairy Su.

In reality, he controlled the wolf demon to bite himself, then escaped, and attacked the Zhao residence again at night.

He used a self-inflicted injury as a ruse to perfectly extricate himself from the situation.

In that case, who would dare say that the wolf demon attacked the Zhao residence at his behest?
He could turn the tables and say it was all Fairy Su's fault for letting the wolf demon break free of his control; it was you who released the evil wolf back to the mountain!

After thinking it through, Ji Cheng was somewhat surprised that Zhou Mu's IQ was so high.
"Wang!"

Big Yellow barked at Ji Cheng, who was hiding in the tree, its eyes as firm as iron.

Ji Cheng was moved. He understood that this foolish dog had made up his mind to use his dog's life to protect the Zhao family.
