Wild Dogs

Yang Fan was also embarrassed. He coughed lightly and looked at Qi Peilan.

"What, does this mean the contract is now complete?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan nodded in a barely audible voice.

"That's right, that means our contract is now finalized."

Then she looked up at Yang Fan.

"Shouldn't you honor the terms of the contract and release me?"

As she spoke, Qi Peilan straightened her back.

Yang Fan took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, I'll go and lift the restrictions on you right away."

"But let's make this clear first: if you go back on your word, don't blame me for being impolite."

Qi Peilan pursed her lips.

"What gives you the confidence to be so impolite? Or are you saying you're stronger than me?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan was speechless for a moment. After a long while, he could only shake his head in dejection.

"Okay, you're right, I really can't do anything about you right now."

Immediately, Yang Fan raised his hand and carefully pressed various acupoints on Qi Peilan's body.

After Yang Fan pressed these acupoints, Qi Peilan could feel the obstruction in her meridians disappear, and her spiritual energy began to flow smoothly.

In just half an hour, Yang Fan released all of Qi Peilan's acupoints.

After Qi Peilan tried it out, the flow of spiritual energy became extremely smooth.

Qi Peilan was overjoyed. She excitedly flew into the air and waved her fists vigorously.

The feeling of losing her power made her extremely unhappy, but now that her power has returned, she is full of confidence.

Then she looked at Yang Fan with an unfriendly expression.

Upon seeing this, Yang Fan's expression changed slightly.

"What, you're trying to harm me?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan snorted coldly and flew directly to Yang Fan's side. She grabbed Yang Fan's chest and made a gesture as if she was about to hit him.

Seeing this, Yang Fan clasped his hands together, preparing to use his backup plan, when Qi Peilan suddenly shook her head and let Yang Fan go.

"Hmph, don't worry. Since we've signed a blood pact, and I'm not that kind of despicable person, I naturally won't do anything shameless."

As she spoke, Qi Peilan stretched her limbs, glanced at the pills beside her, picked up a Heavenly Spirit Pill, and swallowed it herself.

"Isn't this my elixir? Why did you eat it again?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan shrugged.

"Didn't we already agree that we'd each take half of the pills? I'm taking mine now."

After taking the Heavenly Spirit Pill, Qi Peilan stretched.

"This is really great. I'm at a critical moment for a breakthrough right now. With so many Heavenly Spirit Pills, my strength might improve by leaps and bounds."

Then she glanced at Yang Fan and smiled sweetly.

"Alright, don't be angry. We're in a situation where it's mutually beneficial to be together and mutually detrimental to be apart. Anyway, we've made a contract, and I'll keep you safe and sound."

Then she glanced at Yang Fan.

"Okay, you get ready first. I'll go outside and kill a spirit beast, then roast some meat for me later."

As she spoke, Qi Peilan rubbed her hands together and couldn't help but lick her lips.

Clearly, the roasted meat that Yang Fan had grilled earlier had made her mouth water.

Seeing this, Yang Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Since this woman didn't want to deal with him, then everything was fine.

Then, Qi Peilan leaped into the air and flew directly out of the cave.

The restrictions Yang Fan had previously placed were utterly ineffective against Qi Peilan, who had regained her cultivation.

After easily rushing out, Qi Peilan immediately began searching for the surrounding spirit beasts.

Yang Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief and sat down cross-legged.

He swallowed the Qingling Pill and began to accelerate the healing of his injuries.

At this rate, his injuries should be fully healed in about ten days.

And so, Yang Fan began to heal his injuries.

About half an hour later, Qi Peilan walked in excitedly from outside.

"Look, I've killed a spirit beast. Quick, let's roast the meat."

She dropped the spirit beast on the ground and looked at Yang Fan excitedly.

Seeing this, Yang Fan could only shake his head and walk to the spirit beast's side.

Then, he pointed to the spirit beast.

"Help me cut these pieces of meat."

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan raised an eyebrow.

"You're in charge of grilling the meat, why are you ordering me around?"

Yang Fan sighed.

"I'm injured right now, how can I do such heavy work? Could you help me divide up the meat of these spirit beasts so I can roast it?"

Hearing Yang Fan's words, Qi Peilan glared at him with displeasure.

However, since things had come to this point, she could only obediently step forward and skin the spirit beast, removing all other debris and leaving only the clean meat.

I'd seen Yang Fan handle this before, and this woman handled it quite efficiently.

Seeing this, Yang Fan was somewhat surprised.

"I never imagined that a cultivator like you would understand matters of mortals."

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator raised her head with considerable pride.

"Of course, I was born an ordinary person and I've worked my way up to where I am today."

"Oh, so you're also of mortal origin."

Yang Fan looked at Qi Peilan with some surprise; he really hadn't expected Qi Peilan to have such a background.

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan sighed.

"Otherwise, if I had any powerful connections or backing, I wouldn't have ended up in your hands all by myself, and no one has come looking for me yet."

At this point, Qi Peilan frowned, clearly somewhat worried.

She has been missing for so long, and no sect has come looking for her yet, which is obviously because she is all alone and helpless.

Seeing this, Yang Fan sighed and gently shook his head.

"If no one contacts us, no one contacts us. We can manage on our own anyway."

Then, Yang Fan started a fire and began grilling meat for Qi Peilan.

While grilling, Yang Fan asked about Qi Peilan's past.

"By the way, how did you join the immortal sect? Normally, it shouldn't be easy for mortals like us to join an immortal sect."

Although Yang Fan knew that many immortal sects would occasionally go down the mountain to recruit disciples, to be honest, the vast majority of mortals had no chance to participate in such selections.

Hearing this, Qi Peilan scratched her head.

"When I was a child, I almost starved to death. A female cultivator flew over our village. Because I was on the verge of death, she took pity on me and took me to the mountain."

"Originally, they wanted me to be a maid doing menial tasks, but the sect was testing spiritual roots at the time, so they took me there to test, and they found out that I had spiritual roots, which is why I became a disciple of the sect."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan immediately looked up with a hint of envy.

"That's not bad either, at least there are people in the immortal sect who are genuinely helping you."

Upon hearing this, Qi Peilan gave a cold laugh.

"Do you think it's that simple? That woman isn't entirely kind."

Then Qi Peilan sighed.

"After I grew up a bit and gained some cultivation in the immortal sect, that woman would deduct half of my spirit stones every month, so my cultivation progressed much slower than others."

"To be honest, if I hadn't gone out to hunt spirit beasts and collect medicinal herbs to exchange for cultivation resources, I probably wouldn't have even reached the Foundation Establishment stage by now."
