In the Xuanyuan Realm, within the Great Wildlands, Luo Qingyi continuously operated her cultivation method, squeezing out the last of her mana, and flew desperately towards the center of the Great Wildlands.

"Little girl! Stop now, and we'll give you a quick death, sparing you the pain!"

"Heh, you can't escape!"

Hearing the roars behind her, Luo Qingyi instinctively glanced back, only to see two pitch-black Demon Wolves closely pursuing her, the distance between them rapidly closing. At this rate, in less than half an hour, they would catch up to her.

Gritting her teeth, Luo Qingyi burst forth with speed again, trying to widen the gap, but the Demon Wolves behind her seemed to be toying with her like cats with a mouse, their eyes filled with mockery.

"Don't blame us for being rude then. A tender little girl like you must be quite the delicacy."

"Hahaha, brother, you're right."

Hearing the unrestrained mockery from the Demon Wolves behind her, Luo Qingyi clenched her teeth, a trace of unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

She couldn't die here.

Since she couldn't escape, she might as well fight with all her might!

With this thought, Luo Qingyi poured all her remaining mana into her Flying Sword. Seizing the moment when the two Demon Wolves were carelessly mocking her, she launched the Flying Sword with precision.

The Flying Sword transformed into a streak of light in the air, aimed directly at the Demon Wolf's forehead.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Wolf seemed to have anticipated her move, dodging swiftly.

Only then did Luo Qingyi realize that the previous taunts and carelessness of the Wolf Demons were all an act, and she had fallen for it.

"Roar!"

A glint of human-like greed flashed in the Demon Wolf's eyes as it lunged forward, biting into Luo Qingyi's neck, drained of mana.

"Human, it's been three days. It's time for us to feast."

"Brother, leave the head for me. I love gnawing on bones."

The stench from the Demon Wolf's mouth was so overpowering that Luo Qingyi couldn't open her eyes. She felt her neck being bitten inch by inch, the wolf's teeth piercing her throat, the immense pain causing her to cry out in agony.

Someone, please, someone save me.

She still carried her master's hopes, the expectations of various sects; she couldn't die yet.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sky trembled.

"What?"

One of the Demon Wolves hastily looked up, the sky had split open.

This terrifying scene left everyone trembling with fear; they had never witnessed such a bizarre event.

Boom!

A massive yellow pillar hung in the sky, causing the Demon Wolf to tremble all over. It wanted to flee, but its body refused to obey, shaking uncontrollably.

The oppressive aura was so terrifying that they couldn't even open their mouths.

Luo Qingyi's eyes darted around frantically, her view completely blocked by the wolf's head, unable to see what was happening.

Boom!

The pillar descended instantly, so fast that the Demon Wolf couldn't even see it.

Boom!

The Demon Wolf's body was pinned to the ground by the massive wooden pillar, lifeless in an instant.

Witnessing such a horrifying scene, the other Demon Wolf quickly released its grip, its survival instincts overcoming its fear, and it ran madly into the distance.

Boom!

Another massive pillar fell, piercing it directly, pinning it to the ground.

Dead.

Luo Qingyi clutched her neck, leaning against a large rock to stand up.

"What is this..."

The two Wolf Demons that were about to devour her were now pinned to the ground by two massive wooden pillars, their eyes filled with terror, their bodies severed by the pillars, held together only by some fur.

Such terrifying means...

Luo Qingyi quickly looked around, but there was nothing but wasteland.

Her body's weakness left her no time to think. She hurriedly consumed her last Healing Pill, sitting cross-legged to slowly absorb the Spiritual Qi from the pill, healing her injuries.

After a quarter of an hour, Luo Qingyi felt the wound on her neck had scabbed over, and her body had regained some strength.

She approached the two massive wooden pillars, shivering at the sight of the dead Wolf Demons.

"I am Luo Qingyi, a disciple of the Azure Thunder Sect. Thank you, senior, for your assistance!"

Luo Qingyi knelt before the two massive wooden pillars. She didn't know who had saved her, but such a display of earth-shattering power must belong to someone far beyond her imagination.

Elemental Infant? Divine Transformation? Or...

Luo Qingyi kept her head lowered, waiting for the unknown senior to speak.

A long time passed, but no one responded.

"Se-senior?"

Luo Qingyi raised her head in confusion.

Could it be that the senior left such a powerful Magical Artifact here and didn't take it back?

Staring at the wooden pillars, Luo Qingyi was bewildered.

***

Meanwhile, the "senior" Luo Qingyi referred to was opening the door to receive his delivery, which cost him 388.

"Remember to leave a good review, dear."

After sending off the delivery person, Heyu returned to his room with a box of luxurious prawns.

Looking at the exquisite packaging, Heyu was filled with emotion.

What kind of hard life had he been living before?

Opening the delivery, inside was a steamed Canadian lobster, and the aroma hit him as soon as he opened it.

Expensive things do have their reasons.

Heyu couldn't wait to take a bite, and the taste was truly delightful.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed the little sprite in the glass case kneeling in front of the toothpick, saying something.

Holding the delivery box, Heyu slowly approached the glass case, listening closely, and finally heard what the little sprite was saying.

"Thank you, senior, for your assistance. Please retrieve your Magical Artifact to prevent it from being taken by others."

Magical Artifact?

Heyu looked at the two toothpicks stuck inside, his eyelid twitching.

The projection's interactive effect was truly extraordinary, even with auto-generated plot.

Heyu ignored it, continuing to eat while watching the little sprite.

Despite being small, she was really quite beautiful.

Standing by the toothpick, Luo Qingyi anxiously waited, circling around it, then stumbled and fell to the ground weakly.

"So hungry..."

Although her Spiritual Qi had recovered a bit, she hadn't eaten in half a month.

She was only at the thirteenth level of Qi Refinement and couldn't practice Inedia. If she didn't eat something, she would really starve to death.

She hadn't noticed during her escape, but now that she relaxed, the overwhelming hunger made her eyes sparkle.

Luo Qingyi searched around, trying to find something to eat.

Her Storage Pouch was already empty, and there was nothing but wasteland around.

Gradually, she set her sights on the Wolf Demon's corpse.

To survive, she couldn't care about anything else.

Gritting her teeth, Luo Qingyi crawled to the Wolf Demon's body, slicing off a wolf leg with her sword, and took a bite.

The overwhelming stench almost made Luo Qingyi vomit; the Wolf Demon meat was not only disgusting but also poisonous.

But to survive, she had to swallow it.

If she didn't eat, she wouldn't have the strength to leave; if she did, she might make it back to the sect before the poison took effect.

This scene left Heyu stunned.

He didn't know what the Wolf Demon tasted like, but judging by the little sprite's expression, it couldn't be good.

Even knowing the little sprite was a virtual projection, fake, Heyu couldn't help but feel sympathy.

Why make it so realistic?

Heyu shook his head, glancing at the lobster in his hand.

After some thought, Heyu picked up the lobster claw and gently placed it beside the little sprite.
