Achoo! Achoo!
While happily digging for medicinal herbs, Zi Yan suddenly felt a soreness in her nose, sneezed twice, rubbed her nose, and muttered, "Who is talking about me?"
She turned to look at Xiao Tian, but it did not seem like Xiao Tian, because Xiao Tian would not talk about her—he would only spank her.
Then she turned to look at the black bear lying listlessly in the open space not far away. "Little bear, are you cursing at me?"
Upon hearing this, the black bear looked up in bewilderment, stretched out its paw, and pointed at itself, as if to say, *Are you asking if I am talking about you?*
"Grandma, I do not have the guts! Do you want to die?" The black bear looked as aggrieved as a several-hundred-pound fat man. He was lying peacefully sleeping next to the medicinal herbs when he was suddenly slapped twice.
Do you know how much psychological damage those two slaps caused me?
"It is just a little bit of your medicinal herbs, is it not? Look at you, such a greedy and unambitious person. You need to learn to contribute selflessly. Your hoarding is too selfish." Zi Yan lectured the black bear with a serious expression, and after speaking, she did not forget to take a bite of the jade king bee honey that the black bear had treasured.
"Yes, yes, yes, Grandma is right. You are truly my role model." The black bear dared not refute. Do not underestimate the little girl in front of him; the force of her slap and the high-level Demonic Beast technique were remarkable. With bloodline suppression, even for a dignified sixth-tier Advanced Demonic Beast, he could only act like a grandson in front of her.
Moreover, the man lying on the tree branch felt an immense pressure, and his intuition told him that if he dared to make any rash moves, he would have to go down to see his great-grandmother.
"Hmph, it is good that you know what is good for you. Since you are being so obedient, I will not take the rest."
After Zi Yan finished speaking, she clapped her hands, casually tossed something into the remaining pile of herbs, and walked towards Xiao Tian. "Xiao Tian, let us go. Let us head to the next stop!!"
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Tian's response, she took a few sniffs and walked excitedly in one direction.
Seeing this, Xiao Tian glanced at Zi Yan's figure with affection, and then slowly followed behind her.
Seeing the two leave, the black bear excitedly stood up—at least his life was saved. But when he looked at his hard-earned possessions, which consisted only of low-grade junk, he could not be happy anymore, his expression extremely complex.
Zi Yan turned to look at him and said to Xiao Tian beside her, "Look how much he has learned today. He does not want us to leave; his eyes are so excited."
Xiao Tian was speechless. He glanced at the black bear who still could not help but shed tears and thought to himself: *Are you sure he is not excited because you, the culprit, are finally gone?*
"That is right. After all, our Zi Yan is so cute." Xiao Tian rubbed Zi Yan's head. He had seen everything Zi Yan had done and what she had left behind.

After Xiao Tian and the other person disappeared, the black bear drooped his head and came to the remaining pile of medicinal herbs. He suddenly noticed a small jade box on the pile of herbs.
Curious, he picked up the jade box, flicked it with his fingernail, and opened it to reveal a Medicinal Pill inside.
Before he could examine the Medicinal Pill closely, a childish voice came from inside the jade box:
"Big bear, since you are so honest, I am tired of this Transformation Pill. I really like your treasured honey, so consider this your reward."
"This... this... this is actually a Grade 7 Medicinal Pill! Transformation Pill!!!" The black bear's small eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief.
I am only at the sixth-level Advanced level right now. Who knows when I will reach the seventh level of Breakthrough transformation?
For a Tier 6 Demonic Beast, the Transformation Pill is undoubtedly the most desired item, ranking number one. Transformation is an irresistible temptation for any Demonic Beast below Tier 7.
It glanced gratefully in the direction Zi Yan had left, then quickly ran back to its bear den.
Once inside, it eagerly popped the Transformation Pill into its mouth.

In that day, Zi Yan and Xiao Tian plundered half of the mountain range. Every day, the mournful howls of the Demonic Beasts could be heard from the forest, a sound that was so heartbreaking that it brought tears to the eyes of anyone who heard it.
"Of all the medicinal herbs, Big Bear's honey is still the best." Zi Yan sat on Xiao Tian's lap, scooped a spoonful of honey from the jar he was holding, took a bite, her eyes narrowed, and she looked completely satisfied. Her two short legs swung around happily.
She picked up the jade spoon and scooped out another spoonful, handing it to Xiao Tian. "Since you have been so good to me, here is a bite for you."
"I do not want to eat it like this. Let us try a different way." Xiao Tian glanced at Zi Yan with a mischievous smile, took her hand, turned the spoon towards her, and then put it into her mouth.
He removed the spoon and then kissed her on the lips.
Zi Yan's eyes widened instantly. She froze, her body stiffened slightly, and she lost her grip on the jar, which fell to the ground.
Xiao Tian controlled the bucket to hold it up; if it fell, Zi Yan estimated it would explode.
If modern people saw Xiao Tian like this, they would definitely say that three years in prison is the minimum, and the maximum is death.
Oh, so she is a legal loli over a thousand years old. That is alright then; the misunderstanding is cleared up.
Zi Yan's mind was blank, leaving her completely at Xiao Tian's mercy and control.
"Hmm, this imported honey is really good. It is quite sweet," Xiao Tian said with a smile.
Hearing Xiao Tian's words, she snapped out of her daze and realized that she had been kissed. It was Cai Li and the others who said that a person has many firsts in their life, including the first kiss, which was what Xiao Tian called her first kiss, and it was taken away just like that.
As Zi Yan thought about it, her face gradually turned rosy. But then she remembered that she was his concubine and would eventually be his, and Zi Yan instantly felt at ease.
"Hmph, you are just bullying me. Just like Sister Cai Li said, you are a big bad guy, the kind that is wicked beyond measure, like a dog."
Xiao Tian was speechless after hearing Zi Yan's words. Zi Yan had the same hobby as Medusa: peeping. She guessed it was from some other time she had overheard something.
After wiping her mouth, she noticed her hands and seemed to remember something. She almost jumped up. "Ah~~ Where is my honey?"
"It is here."
Xiao Tian waved her hand, and the honey jar floated to Zi Yan's front. Zi Yan hurriedly caught the jar with both hands, as if it were a rare treasure. "I will forgive you this time because you protected my honey."
After saying that, Zi Yan suddenly kissed Xiao Tian on the cheek. "Consider this a reward for your thoughtfulness. Now we are even."
After saying that, Zi Yan shook her head and continued eating the honey.
Xiao Tian patted Zi Yan's pigtails and looked at her with a smile. "Is that it? Is this how things are calculated? We can try it again next time."
It is unclear how much time passed, but as night fell, Xiao Tian, who had been playing with Zi Yan's hair, suddenly tensed up, his face showing wariness.
"Who goes there? Show yourself!"
