Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Xiao broke free from Mo Hanyu's shackles, shook his hair, and looked at him with a frown, "This is not the same thing at all..."

"Okay, okay, there's no point in worrying about it." Yin Xihui tried to smooth things over with a smile.

Qin Xiao heard what he said, glanced at him, and said nothing more.

"By the way, will you be given a training ground before the competition?" Mo Hanyu thought of something and asked Qiu Puyue.

"Yes." Qiu Puryue's eyes lit up at first and she nodded, but then she thought of something and her expression darkened, "But they won't cooperate..."

"..." Qin Xiao looked up at her with a frown, as if he didn't understand what she was struggling with, "Then what do you want to do?"

“I just want to get a ranking…” Qiu Puryue was a little scared when she saw him like this, and replied weakly.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao frowned even more when he heard this. He stared at her for a long time. Just when Qiu Puyue was about to ask a question, he spoke: "Then let those two monsters obey you."

Qin Xiao's tone was stern, and the aura he exuded was completely different from before, like a lion that had finally woken up. His voice was cold and steady: "It is the obedience of the lower to the higher."

Ignoring Mo Hanyu's surprised look, Qin Xiao's voice was clearly filled with hostility: "If you can't even make them obey, I think it would be quicker for you to just end your life."

"Xiao——" Mo Hanyu pulled him, "You've gone too far."

Qin Xiao glanced at him emotionlessly: "No, not really."

Mo Hanyu frowned. Qin Xiao ignored him and continued to talk to Qiu Puyue: "You want to get a ranking? It's easy to say, but can you get it easily? Although I can't see any interest in their competition these two days, those who can participate in this competition, whether it is from the country, the academy, or the sect, are all carefully selected. They have talent, experience, and are willing to work hard. In order to get a ranking in the competition, I don't know how long they have trained with the Warcraft before, and how long they have cooperated with it..."

"What do you have to compare with them?" Qin Xiao looked at her coldly, half raising his eyelids, "With those two monsters with excessive self-awareness who can't even communicate with each other?"

"And have you ever thought about it? Demon Tamer is just their identity when participating in the competition. It doesn't mean that they are not excellent Qi practitioners—" Qin Xiao looked at her coldly, "You were just lucky in the first game. The man was kind, so he didn't attack you. Have you read the rules of the competition? The last rule is that even if the monster has not lost, as long as the demon tamer is defeated and loses consciousness, it is still considered a loss."

"To put it bluntly, this is a competition between the two of you, and you know nothing about the monsters you lead, and you have no communication with them, yet you still want to win a place?" Qin Xiao laughed sarcastically, "Are you underestimating your opponent?"

After the words fell, Mo Hanyu and Yin Xihui did not speak, but looked at Qin Xiao with a surprised look.

"...I haven't thought about it that way." Qiu Puryue was silent for a moment after hearing Qin Xiao's words, then pursed her lips and replied, "I know that if I want to accomplish it, I have to work hard, but I don't know--"

"So I said." Qin Xiao looked at her, his eyes like he was looking at a stubborn student, "Let those two monsters obey you, this is the fastest way."

"But my father told me--" Qiu Puyue didn't finish her words. When she met Qin Xiao's eyes, she instinctively fell silent.

Qin Xiao took a sip of tea to wash away the spiciness in his mouth, and looked out the window: "If you want to listen to someone who wants to kill you, then there is nothing to say."

After saying that, he started putting meatballs into the pot.

The four of them were quiet as many customers came around one after another. Noisy sounds kept coming to their ears, including talking, laughing, scolding, and shouting...all kinds of sounds echoed in their ears, but they could not hear anything clearly.

Yin Xihui's gaze shuttled between the two, and it was unknown what he was thinking, as his eyes darkened.

"..." Qiu Puryue looked at the boiling red soup in the pot and was silent for a moment. As if she had made up her mind, she raised her head and looked at Qin Xiao again. Her eyes became firm, "Please teach me."

"I don't know how to tame animals." Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao said, "I can only tell you the general idea. I have never cooperated with others in a fight."

When Mo Hanyu heard this, he suddenly hit him and turned to look: "Haven't we done it before?"

"Is that what you call cooperation?" Qin Xiao gave him a look of disdain.

"Then why not shout it out?" Mo Hanyu was dissatisfied.

Qin Xiao sneered and ignored him.

"Then can you help me train?" Qiu Puryue was not discouraged after hearing Qin Xiao's words, "Although this will take up your time..."

"...Then let me try?" Although Qin Xiao looked unwilling, he still agreed.

After getting his answer, Qiu Puryue started laughing again.

During the conversation between the few people, Nangong Huaxue kept looking at Qin Xiao, with light flashing in her eyes. When Qin Xiao seemed to have noticed something and looked over at her, she turned her head back.

"Have you finished eating? Let's go." Nangong Huaxue smiled at Wang Ji, with no clues on her face.

Wang Ji didn't say anything. He looked at Qin Xiao again when he stood up and left with Nangong Huaxue.

"The two people over there..." Yin Xihui looked at the empty seat next to him, thoughtfully, and asked Qin Xiao, "Do you know them?"

"Not sure." Qin Xiao picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and looked at Qiu Puryue, "Then you'd better deal with them today and start tomorrow morning. Anyway, you don't have a competition."

Qiu Puryue nodded.

……

"…Are you okay?"

After saying goodbye to Qin Xiao and the others, Qiu Pu Yue came to the place where Yu Jin was recuperating. Looking at the giant beast curled up in the room, Qiu Pu Yue sighed in her heart.

The beast ignored her.

Yuhua provided each of them with a house, which was large enough to accommodate three monsters.

Qiu Puyue thought of Qin Xiao’s words and took a deep breath.

"I'm talking to you." Qiu Puryue walked up to the giant beast and looked at him.

Yu Jin's prototype was similar to a wolf with wings, but he had no hair on his body. Instead, he was wearing pitch-black armor, with two sharp horns twisted toward the sky on his head, and blood-red vertical pupils in his eyes, looking at her coldly.

Qiu Puryue closed her eyes and scratched her head in annoyance. Thinking of Qin Xiao's words, she sat down patiently and listened to his conversation: "My father also told you, right? You need to get a place in this competition, but you also see that it is not enough for you alone. Why don't you want to talk to me and let me get to know you?"

"Get out." The Warcraft's low voice sounded, obviously refusing to communicate.

Qiu Puyue rubbed her brows and lowered her head to cover her face: "My father said that if I don't get a ranking, he will kill me... Just listen to me, okay?"

When Yu Jin heard this, his eyes changed slightly, but he still turned his head away and said nothing.

Qiu Puryue sighed deeply: "I will take you to the training ground tomorrow morning. My friend said he will help us train."

"No need." Yu Jin said coldly, tilting his head.

"You'd better stop!" Qiu Puryue finally couldn't help it, raised her head and said sternly, "Are you kidding? If you are really good, you should go and defeat that monster, right? Her master didn't make a move, right? Wasn't it a one-on-one fight between you two the whole time? Since you've already lost, why are you still acting so arrogantly?"

Yu Jin suddenly opened his eyes, his scarlet pupils turned sharply, staring straight at her: "Are you blaming me?"

"What else? Can I still praise you?" Qiu Puryue became more and more angry as she thought about it. She gritted her teeth and said, "Ever since I took over, you have been half-dead. No one is willing to talk to me. The same goes for the competition. There was no communication at all. If you don't want me to understand you and dominate you, then you win? What are you talking about here now?"

"you--"

"What do you mean? Am I wrong?" Qiu Puryue stood up and saw Chi Feng in human form next to her. She turned around suddenly and said, "Even so, you still blame me, saying that I was only focused on the game? Can you guys stop being so funny? If I was only focused on the game, I wouldn't have come running over as soon as it was over, and I wouldn't have rushed over every time you guys gave me a cold shoulder!"

"Are you kidding? If you lose, then practice hard. We may meet again in the future. Don't you have a strong sense of self-esteem? Aren't you arrogant? Can't you accept these setbacks?" Qiu Puryue said angrily, "I know that you are many times older than me, and I believe you have the capital to be arrogant, but these are not the reasons why you repeatedly ignore me. No matter who you followed before, your master now is me, okay?"

Qiu Puryue looked into those blood-red eyes without any fear: "Why, do you feel ashamed to obey a weak human like me? Then why don't you show your strength to disobey me? If you win the game, I won't say anything, but you lose, understand?"

Qiu Puryue frowned, revealing an expression of disbelief: "The loser is still barking, it's really hard to imagine."

"You--!" Yu Jin was furious and raised his claws to fight her.

"So you just bully kids like me. Why don't you go and fight with Bai Xiaokuang? Trash!" Qiu Purue cursed, raised her hand to stir up a puff of white mist, and stared at him coldly.

Yu Jin stared at her intently, trembling with anger, his chest heaving violently, the healed wounds faintly tinged with red, and his pupils were so red that it seemed as if blood would spill out of them in the next second.

Yu Jin had a ferocious expression, showing his sharp white teeth, and it seemed that he was about to pounce.

Qiu Puryue stared at him closely, ready to take action at any time.

The huge claws fell down, and Qiu Puryue's aura fluctuated, but he seemed to have noticed something and did not make a move.

Unexpectedly, Yu Jin slapped Qiu Puyue's side with his claws. The moment he landed, Qiu Puyue felt the whole building shake.

Yu Jin leaned forward, his sharp teeth just a hair's breadth away from Qiu Pu Yue, and said grimly: "Okay..."

The heat was exhaled with the breath, and Qiu Puryue was stunned.

"Tomorrow, right? You wait..." Yu Jin used a little force, digging holes in the ground with his nails, "Let me see how your friends will 'train' me."

Yu Jin spoke the second half of the sentence with extra force, his tone was sinister, and he exuded hostility. When he finished speaking, he suddenly retracted his aura, turned into a human form, glanced coldly at Qiu Puyue, and turned to walk towards his room.

Qiu Puryue watched him go away until his figure disappeared from her sight, then she turned to look at Chi Feng.

Chi Feng had been silent when she scolded him just now, his eyes were cold and calm. Now that he saw her looking at him, he still looked at her quietly without saying a word.

"You have to go tomorrow morning, too." Qiu Puryue looked at him and said coldly, "You said before that I was only focused on the game? You are funny. If you had explained it to me before the game started, I wouldn't have lost my composure like that."

"You are no different from him, or even worse than him." Qiu Puryue also looked at him coldly, "He will at least fight to the end, what about you?"

"Watch your words, human." Chi Feng tilted his head, and his eyes finally showed a slight fluctuation - but it was full of hostility, "Just because he didn't do it just now doesn't mean I won't."

Chi Feng's voice was cold, with a hint of brutality: "Don't get carried away."

"Are you talking about yourself?" Qiu Puryue was not afraid at all, her face was cold, "You are a bastard who only attacks your own people."

Before he finished speaking, the temperature around him suddenly rose, and the air was so hot that it seemed about to burn.

Qiu Puryue took a few steps back one second before the flames appeared to avoid being burned by the fire.

"Why did you run away?" Chi Feng stood there, his eyes full of mockery, "Aren't you very good at speaking?"

Qiu Puryue looked at him, and the aura around her changed.

A raging fire was burning where she had just stood. If she had been half a second later, she would have been engulfed by the flames and burned to ash in an instant.

Chi Feng stared at her and suddenly smiled, his smile was cold and without any warmth: "Then I'll go and take a look."

"That friend seems to have given you a lot of confidence to talk to us like that." Chi Feng's simulated brown pupils gradually faded, revealing their original red light. "I hope he will be more careful tomorrow and not suddenly explode and die—"

As he spoke, he pulled the corner of his lip: "Then I won't be able to support you..."

Qiu Purue heard the hidden meaning in his words, gritted her teeth and glared at him.

The flames had died out, but the atmosphere grew hotter, as if a match could ignite it immediately.

"What's wrong?" Taotie's voice suddenly sounded, and he came out rubbing his eyes and yawning. He looked at Chi Feng with sleepy eyes, then looked at Qiu Puryue, and said in a confused voice, "Are you going to eat?"

"...I just ate." Qiu Puryue's breath stagnated, then returned to normal, and she looked at Taotie with gentle eyes.

"What? You went to have dinner without calling me!" Taotie was disappointed and looked at her in disbelief.

Qiu Puyue was speechless: "I... wasn't watching you sleep--"

"How can sleeping be more important than eating?" Taotie yelled, then he lowered his head helplessly, and became listless, "I'm hungry."

"Then I'll take you to eat something again?" Qiu Puyue was really afraid that if she didn't keep an eye on him, he would go out and eat people, so she quickly smiled.

Taotie suddenly became interested: "Okay, okay..."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and looked towards Chi Feng.

"You haven't eaten either?"

Chi Feng looked at him without saying anything, then turned around and went back to his room.

"How arrogant..." Taotie looked at the direction he left, his tone unchanged, "Why don't you kill him?"

"...There's no need for that." Qiu Puryue smiled as she watched him transform into a tall and muscular adult man.

Taotie originally just wanted to ask, but when he saw that she had no such inclination, he did not bring it up again.

Qiu Puryue felt the small ball in her pocket vibrate and quickly took it out.

"Hang up, I roughly know their personalities." Qin Xiao's slightly hoarse voice came from the metal ball.

Qiu Puryue nodded first, then thought that he couldn't see, and said, "Okay."

Qin Xiao watched the light of the small ball in his hand go out, and looked at Mo Hanyu: "Does this mean I'm hanging up?"

Mo Hanyu nodded: "Yes."

Qin Xiao was sitting on the bed in the hotel. Mo Hanyu sat beside him and watched him put the ball back into his pocket.

"...So, you want to help that kid tame the beast?" Qiongqi, who was lying on the other bed, turned sideways and asked curiously, "What's so good about taming this?"

"Not really." Qin Xiao replied, "I don't know how to do this either. I'm just serving as a sparring partner with them."

"You say that... do you have any experience?" Mo Hanyu was a little surprised to hear Qiongqi's relaxed tone.

"Is there anything I can do about this..." Qiongqi looked at him in confusion and said as a matter of course: "If you beat him into submission, won't he listen to you?"

Mo Hanyu: ...

It's really his style.
