The villain is right beside me

When Mu Qing came out of seclusion, he found that the outside world had changed dramatically. The whole world was covered in white. The original green mountains and clear waters had turned into snow-capped mountains. The weather was cold and the snow was a foot thick. The entire mountain was covered in silver, which created a unique beauty.

"Huh." Mu Qing blew a breath. He was only wearing a thin gown, but he didn't feel cold at all.

Mu Qing stretched out his feet and stepped on the snow, making a very pleasant sound. He vaguely recalled the cold winter in his hometown and the scenes of playing in the snow with his friends.

There’s no going back, the past is gone.

Mu Qing returned to the house, only to find that everything in his house was frozen. What was going on? Could it be that the snow...

Mu Qing walked out of the door and looked at the clear sky and the gentle breeze. Only then did he realize something was wrong.

"How long have I been in seclusion?"

Mu Qing felt that the snow outside was related to him. What should he answer if someone asked him about it?

At this moment, a beautiful female voice sounded behind him.

"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Mu Qing looked back but didn't see anyone. When he raised his head, he saw a pretty little girl in bright red clothes standing on the branch of a pine tree.

"Junior sister, were you talking to me just now?" Mu Qing saw that she was probably only about twelve years old.

"Junior sister..." The little girl looked strange. She jumped down and walked in front of him and said, "Call me... Senior sister! You have no respect for your elders!"

Mu Qing gestured with his hands, and she reached her chest. She looked angry, her little face flushed, and her pair of big black and watery eyes stared at him with a vicious expression, which was indeed quite cute.

"What are you gesturing for! Just being tall is not a big deal!" The little girl looked as if she was going to eat him alive and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Mu Qing. May I ask your name, Senior Sister?"

"...Mu Qing, this sounds familiar. Do you know what happened here?"

"What? I just closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, this place looked like this. I thought I slept for a whole year."

"Which lineage are you from? Who allowed you to live here?"

"Senior sister, why are you asking me so many questions as if I were checking your household registration? I don't even know your name or where you live." Mu Qing was not going to be fooled and asked her directly.

The little girl hit him hard on the head: "I'm asking you! Answer honestly!"

"I don't have any connections. It was a female master who asked me to look after the wine cellar here."

The little girl was stunned, as if she remembered something. She rubbed her temples, laughed, and looked at Mu Qing again.

He has fair skin, a slender figure, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. In particular, there is a faint sense of coldness about him, which seems to have an extraordinary temperament.

"So it's not you who did this."

Mu Qing still had a confused expression on his face, without a single flaw.

"We should clean up this place quickly." The little girl said to herself, then pointed at him and said, "You, give me the forbidden token."

"Why?"

Mu Qing had no choice but to object. The little girl was holding a storage bag in her hand. Mu Qing then realized when his storage bag...

The little girl saw that there were not many things inside, so she took the restriction token and threw it to him with disgust.

Mu Qing realized that this little girl was probably quite powerful and her methods were strange, but he was completely unaware of it. This made it difficult for him to report back.

"Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing. Starting tomorrow you can go to the animal farm to raise pets. You may be able to choose a suitable mount that can be your helper." The little girl said, and skipped back.

"Wait, how do I..."

"You'll know when you go there tomorrow."

After the little girl walked away, Mu Qing was very confused and said, "Lao Wang, I know you didn't say anything because you were afraid that others would notice. What do you think her strength is?"

Lao Wang didn't answer for a long time.

Mu Qing felt that it was not appropriate to bring it up at this time, so he waited until the evening before Lao Wang spoke.

"Did you ask me something this morning?"

Mu Qing thought he must be dead in his sleep.

"I won't say any more. I'm under a lot of pressure after dealing with such a big mess. Let's go to the animal farm tomorrow."

Taming beasts is one of the characteristics of Piao Miao Sect. The monks tame the monsters and fight against the enemy together, which can double their combat power. However, it is almost impossible to subdue a powerful monster, so there are two ways to train monsters. One is to choose a newborn baby to plant a contract, and the other is to have a high-level teacher help catch a monster with extraordinary potential and sign a contract with the disciple. Mo Zhangzuo is the latter and chose one for Qin Ziyuan.

Monster beasts are brutal by nature and are extremely difficult to tame, but powerful monster beasts will command an area. In the beast taming lineage of Piaomiao Sect, there are five high-level monster beasts who command all monsters in all directions and prevent them from causing chaos. They are all mounts and pets of the elders of the beast taming lineage.

When Mu Qing arrived at the animal farm, the disciples guarding it thought he was there to select young animals.

"Oh, it's you." A young man in blue clothes walked forward excitedly and bowed to him as soon as he came up: "Thank you, Senior Brother Han."

Mu Qing was confused: "Sir, I don't seem to know you... Why are you thanking me?"

"Haha, it's not surprising that you don't remember. During the entrance ceremony, you jumped up and stepped on my foot. At that time, I thought I was eliminated, but I didn't expect that I would be directly selected into the main sect and now I am a disciple of the Beast Taming Lineage. I also want to thank you for that kick. I remember it very clearly." There was a cinnabar streak on the young man's forehead, but he looked like a scholar from his dress: "My surname is Han, and my given name is Sheng. I don't know your name yet."

"Mu Qing."

"Brother Pastor. I guess you are a registered disciple of a certain master. Congratulations." Han Sheng said, "Brother Pastor is here to select a young animal."

"No, I'm here to keep pets, I don't know..."

"Oh, that's what our master told me to do. I understand. Please come in, senior brother." Han Sheng had a respectful expression.

Mu Qing was confused. He came here without a token in his hand. Could it be that the little girl had given him the order? Was she that capable? Could it be... that she was the master's personal disciple?

Han Sheng introduced the situation in the animal breeding yard to him: "The one in charge of the animal breeding yard is Elder Ge. Each disciple can be responsible for an area. I will take you to see Elder Ge first. You can choose which area you want to be in charge of."

In the lobby of the animal breeding academy, some disciples wanted to select cubs, so they would first find the deacon disciple in charge of an area to help lead the way.

Han Sheng and Mu Qing walked quickly all the way to the outside of Elder Ge's house. Elder Ge looked to be over fifty years old, with a fierce look in his eyes, like a wild wolf in the dark.

"Han Sheng, what are you doing here?"

"Elder Ge, this pastor brother is here to serve as the deacon in charge of an area. He is...nominated by a certain master." Han Sheng said.

Elder Ge looked at it with wide eyes, then shook his head: "No, no, you are too weak. Don't let the monster swallow you instead of taking care of it."

Mu Qing smiled bitterly, wondering if it was arranged by her. He said, "Disciple Mu Qing, I meet Elder Ge. If I am not competent, you can drive me away. It will not cause you any trouble."

"Who asked you to come? Do you have any message?" Elder Ge asked.

"No message, someone asked me to come."

Seeing Mu Qing's confused look, Elder Ge suspected that he was here to deceive people. The animal breeding ground was not a place where one could come whenever one wanted. Just as he was about to scold him, he was suddenly stunned, as if he had heard something.

"Ah, so it is... Haha, you are the pastor's nephew, right? You can come to the animal farm, but you have to take responsibility and don't be negligent." Elder Ge asked Han Sheng to get the map of the regional branches of the animal farm. When he opened the map, it was indeed not small, with a total of twelve areas. The circles on the map indicated that someone was already guarding them.

"Restorian nephew, let me explain to you in advance that there are only two areas that have not been taken care of yet, and that's because both areas are extremely dangerous. Let me introduce them to you. The ones in the east are all monsters that are comparable to the late stage of awakening, and there are even some that have reached the great perfection of awakening or have even reached the stage of building a platform half a step away. The south is the Five Poison Area, where all kinds of poisonous grasses, poisonous insects and snakes grow. I dare not go in, and can only set up formations outside."

Mu Qing suddenly wondered if the little girl was deliberately playing tricks on me or if she had discovered it.

"Well... May I ask Elder Ge which one is safer?"

Elder Ge said meaningfully: "I still suggest you choose the South District. You don't have to go in. Even if you go in, it will be fine as long as you don't touch anything. Some of the monsters in the East District are too fierce. I'm worried that you are not strong enough..."

It seems that no matter which one I choose, it’s not a good choice.

Mu Qing thought about it and decided: "Then let's go to the South District."

"Okay!" Elder Ge immediately approved the order and went to get the ban-lifting plaque and some detoxification pills to give to Mu Qing.

"Pastor nephew, I hope you don't regret it. Maybe you can encounter some opportunities. Although the poisonous grass inside cannot be eaten, it can be used to make medicine. These five poisons are also good materials for making medicine. If you can make a contract with a poisonous insect, it may be a great help to you in the future." After Elder Ge explained clearly, he let Mu Qing leave and he could come over to check at any time.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained! Mu Qing gritted his teeth and decided to go and take a look. It shouldn't be a big problem.

Although the animal farm is guarded by disciples and elders, if something happens inside, it is still easy to lose life if rescue is not timely.

There are layers of formations outside the southern area. Once you enter the forest, you will smell a dampness. This is a paradise for poisonous creatures. Even the plants are poisonous.

Mu Qing didn't think the detoxification pills he was given were of any use. Poison was ever-changing. If he was bitten by a poisonous spider, he wouldn't be able to turn into Spider-Man. He would just become a meal in the poisonous creature's mouth.

"You are kidding me! You must be kidding me!" Ever since he came in, Mu Qing always felt a chill on the back of his neck, and he looked around when he walked.

"Not necessarily. I think you have a blessing in disguise this time." Lao Wang said, "Although there are poisonous plants and poisonous things here, the wood attribute is also strong. You can cultivate your liver here. You know, the liver and gallbladder are the exterior and interior of each other. If you are brave, you will still be afraid of these things?"

Mu Qing couldn't help but shudder: "How can I practice here when there are poisonous creatures? If I'm disturbed by outsiders..."

"Who will come here? Even if someone comes, he will be able to get in."
