Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Chapter 892 441: False News and the Shovel Killer

Over the years, the Beast Taming Sect has developed various plans for handling escape scenarios during crises.In situations like this where people and dogs are separated, each going their own way, there's no need for one side to return, embracing each other in sorrow.

Just a small gesture is needed to cast a spell for instant recall.

As Li Yueqi cast her spell, Hei Qu's body began to twist and spin like ink stirred by a stick.

Moments later, a suction came from afar, and Hei Qu, like water in a toilet, spun around and was about to vanish.

However, halfway through, he was pulled back.

"Big dog! Big black dog!" The giant girl saw Hei Qu and reached for him.

As the giant girl reached out, the space within the Cat Ear Cave began to twist, invert, and its orientation became chaotic. In a flash, Hei Qu returned to his original spot, along with Li Yueqi and the Cat Lady Emperor.

"Oh no, we're doomed!

"Little green snake! It's time for you to witness our bond! Green snake armor!"

The Cat Lady Emperor acted decisively, realizing they couldn't escape, she decided to confront it head-on, but when she touched her head, she found it empty.

The little green snake that always coiled atop her head was nowhere to be found.

"Huh? Where's my snake? Without the snake, what do I play with?"

As the Cat Lady Emperor patted her clothes, searching for the snake, Li Yueqi looked at the giant girl and the large snake coiled around her shoulder with a complex expression.

Li Yueqi, "Village, are you truly alive again?"

"Yes."

The ancient dragon coiled around the giant girl's shoulder responded gently, its newborn body a vibrant green, with vines dancing in a fragrance reminiscent of a post-rain forest.

"Shrink a bit, the child might get scared." Village looked at the girl beside her tenderly and spoke softly.

"Okay!"

With a cheerful response, the giant girl's body began to break apart, green vines burst forth from her, danced wildly, twisted, tangled, and shrank.

Moments later, a completely emerald, big-eyed plant snake appeared before Li Yueqi and the Cat Lady Emperor.

She laughed playfully as she entwined with the similarly shrunken Village, twisting into a braid.

The lower half that wasn't entwined coiled into a spring shape, bouncing around Li Yueqi with Village.

Village didn't stop, just watched with a smiling face, being entangled.

Li Yueqi remembered the legend, she looked at Village with a complex expression, "So… this is the Mother Tree?"

Village, "Yes."

Li Yueqi, "And you…"

Village, "Yes."

Everything was left unsaid, Li Yueqi smacked her lips and then gave up thinking.

She felt this wasn't something the youngest of the juniors should care about.

Whatever, as long as the elder is happy.

As for the Cat Lady, though she didn't know the exact details, her outstanding intuition kicked in.

She rubbed her tail, her gaze darting suspiciously among the three of them.

But before she could speak out recklessly, the Cat Lady Emperor received a tap on the head from Li Yueqi.

"Children shouldn't pry into elders' matters."

"Hmph."

The Cat Lady Emperor pouted, showing a dissatisfied expression.

But soon she remembered something else, her spirits lifted, and she thickened her face to ask, "Uh, Village senior, about that contract with the life spirit beast… what do we say?"

"What life spirit beast? I don't know what you're talking about." Village said leisurely.

"I'm just an unwanted old dragon, I don't understand what you're saying."

The Cat Lady Emperor, "…"

Seeing her expression grow more aggrieved, already beginning to roll on the ground regrettably, Village chuckled.

This child is truly amusing.

Li Yueqi grabbed the Cat Lady Emperor's tail and dragged her aside, then stepped forward to ask about something else.

"I have a question, I hope you can answer it, what's with these wall paintings?"

Li Yueqi pointed at the eerie crimson covering the cave walls.

These paintings looked sinister no matter how one viewed them.

She didn't know what the Mother Tree's intention was in painting these.

Upon hearing this, the Mother Tree paused. Perhaps finding that form inconvenient for communication, she transformed back into the appearance of the snake-bodied girl.

"The stories in the books said so, I found it interesting and painted them." The Mother Tree said.

Li Yueqi, "?"

Seeing Li Yueqi puzzled, she lightly raised a hand, the ground beside her swelled, and a treasure box emerged.

Opening the box, the Mother Tree gently handed a book to Li Yueqi.

"Be careful flipping through it, don't let it get damaged."

Looking at the book in her hand, then glancing into the rusted box, Li Yueqi sighed, knowing it's Zhang Ze's doing.

These books, treasured by the Mother Tree as if picked from elsewhere, were all authored by the same person.

The author, known as Ghost Story Compiler King, was another alias of Zhang Ze.

The entire series consisted of sinister horror stories.

"Vortex Ghost Town", "Dream of Immortality", "House of Pill Oil", "Tombstone Corpse Country", "Ami Shell Fault", "Flocks of Bahuai", "Black Taisui", "Crab Castle King's Spade Killer"…

Poor Mother Tree was tainted by Zhang Ze's wickedness from birth, becoming the entity she is now.

This whole cave of wall paintings held no significant meaning, merely the Mother Tree mimicking scenes from the books.

Luckily, the Mother Tree picked a box of ghost stories, rather than something more sinister, or the consequences would be dire.

'Zhang Ze is so damned…'

Li Yueqi sighed, her gaze returning to the book in her hand.

Though carefully preserved, these books were nearly falling apart, looking at the rust-covered box, they seemed to be retrieved from a lake.

She felt, as a junior, upon this first meeting, she ought to present some gifts.
