Indestructible Primordial Spirit
Looking at the severe wound, Wang Lishou pouted: "You're really useless, you've practiced the force technique for ten years and didn't even hurt that silver wolf's fur, but you lost two pounds of flesh yourself."
Although Ming Yan was a big shot, he didn't dare to talk back in front of Wang Lishou: "Master Wang is right, but that's a fierce beast! Except for Master Wang and other powerful masters, ordinary Bone Resonance Realm warriors would run away when they encounter it. I'm already lucky to be alive."
Originally, Ming Yan's point of view was not wrong either. He only had the strength of seven layers of courage, and he could still keep his life intact when confronting a fine beast head-on.
Unfortunately, Wang Lishou's vision was quite high at this moment, and he spat out a mouthful: "Not bad, the big household head of Xibeiwu, before practicing the power of the household, they killed a violent bear that was much bigger than this silver wolf."
"Huh? Ha……" Ming Yan was taken aback for a moment, then his mouth slightly curled up with some disdain: "You're talking about An Ze? That kid I've met a few times too, how come I never heard he had this kind of skill?"
Wang Lishou humbly said: "An Ze is dead, who else can talk about him? I'm talking about the new big household head of Xibei Hu!"
"Ah...... An Ze is dead? How did he die?" Although I didn't have much of a relationship with An Ze, we were acquaintances and both served as heads of large households. Ming Yan couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy, a sense of shared loss among those in similar positions.
Just as Wang Lishou looked over, Lu Buqi, still standing on his stake, said in a cold voice: "You were killed by me!"
"Ah……" Lu Buqi's lingering cold aura startled Ming Yan, who had almost forgotten that there was a jinx star beside him. He had just been chatting with Wang Lishou and had nearly forgotten about the ominous presence. As for Lu Buqi, Ming Yan had a deep impression of him - just now when he killed the Silver Wolf, this not-so-tall guy was even more ferocious than Wang Lishou, and it was he who had ripped open the wolf's belly.
Wang Lishou said beside him, "Don't be so surprised, he is the new master of the northwest house I was talking about, his name is Buqi, and he is more capable than you. He's only thirteen years old, but his bravery is much stronger than yours, and even his name was chosen by himself."
His expression changed from dark to bright in an instant, and a brilliant smile piled up: "Oh, it's really a hero coming out of youth, I've always thought that An Ze wasn't a good thing, haha..."
Lu Buxi looked at him coldly, making Ming Yan feel that his already fake smile was even more awkward. He shifted the topic by taking advantage of the pain from his wound: "Master Wang, how did you end up here? Did the hunting direction for Xibei Hu change this year?"
Wang Leshou shook his head: "This matter can't be explained in a few words, you'd better take care of your wound first and then arrange the affairs of your hunting team. Let's talk about it later!"
At this time, Ze Nuo, who had been sent to fetch the ointment by Ming Yan, also returned. He nodded repeatedly and began to treat the wound, but his eyes kept glancing at Lu Buqi, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart either.
"With such a great loss and so many wounded, it's not necessary to continue the spring hunt this time!" Lu Buqi said: "Let everyone clean up the wolves' corpses, and set off back to the village early tomorrow morning. I and Master Wang just happen to need to go to your village to replenish our supplies."
"Hmm..." Ming Yan responded in a low voice, perhaps because of Lu Buqi's condescending attitude, Ming Yan didn't think much and reflexively responded with a sound, only to suddenly realize that he was also the head of a large household in the village, and their status was equal, so why should he listen to Lu Buqi's words?
But thinking of Lu Buqi's strength, and looking at his own state, Ming Yan was still honest. He didn't want to be killed by Lu Buqi with one knife, and that decapitating knife was still in Lu Buqi's hand.
Lu Bu was absolutely not expecting that, due to his imposing figure and cold tone of voice, coupled with some words from Wang Li Shou, directly resulted in such a strong deterrent force.
Feeling his physical strength had recovered a lot, Lu Bu's body gradually relaxed, and then he picked up the beheading knife to start dealing with the Silver Wolf's corpse that Zhen Niao didn't dare to move.
The silver wolf was killed by Lu Buqi and Wang Lishou, in Ze Niu's simple mind, this is the spoils of war for these two people, and has nothing to do with their western waist household.
Soon, Lu Buqi found the silver wolf's heart core, and his face also relaxed a little. After all, the evaluation standard for fine beasts is not based on combat power, but rather whether there is a heart core in the body.
In the scorching gaze of Ming Yan, Lu Buqi walked to his side: "Ming Yan, I think you should know the rules of the main house. As long as one submits a refined beast core, it can offset three years' worth of material allocation."
Ming Yan nodded repeatedly, gazing at the small cow-like heart nucleus in Lu Buqi's hand. His inner self was even more fervent and if he didn't know that Lu Buqi's strength far surpassed his own, he really wanted to take a risk and seek wealth and glory together with him, so as not to worry about completing the task anymore.
"You don't have to worry that this heavy loss will prevent you from completing your task by the end of the year!" Lu Buqi's sharp eyes seemed to possess a magical power that could see through people's hearts, causing Ming Yan's heart to suddenly knot up.
Lu Buji flipped his hand and handed the heart core to him: "This one is left for you, but when the time comes, we will take away the Silver Wolf's skin as our spoils of war. As for the Silver Wolf's meat and internal organs, let's eat them in the next few days!"
Under Wang Lixiu's astonished gaze, Ming Yan struggled to his feet, his legs seemingly numb and painless. His eyes were filled with incredulity: "Brother Nangong, you're...you're giving me this Heart Core? Giving it to me?"
Lu Buqi nodded: "This heart core is very rare, but for the time being, I don't need it in Xīběi House. Giving it to you can help alleviate the urgent situation of Xīyāo House. It's a perfect use of resources, why wouldn't I be happy to do so?"
"Ah...... this, Master Wang......" Ming Yan was not stupid, and with someone of higher status standing beside him, he still had some doubts as to whether Lu Buqi could make decisions on his own.
Although he didn't know why Lu Buqi was being so kind, Wang Lishou still waved his hand and replied: "Look at me, don't give it to you, you just take it, and when you're filial to Li Hong in the future, don't forget to be filial to me too!"
"Ah…… That's a must, a must!" Ming Yan was overjoyed. This was like a giant pie falling from the sky for him. He looked at Lu Buqi excitedly: "Buqi brother, you've saved me and the entire Xi Yao Hu! How can I thank you enough?"
Lu Buqi smiled wryly and said: "You don't have to think too highly of me either, I also have some requirements..."
"You said it!" Ming Yan wasn't an idiot either, and when Lu Buqi put it that way, he felt a lot more at ease.
"Since you've been exempted from providing supplies for three years, I suppose you won't be needing this executioner's sword for the time being. We'll take it with us! Additionally, you must have someone prepare two top-notch large bows for us, and make sure all the necessary items are fully prepared."
"Is that all?" Ming Yan was taken aback, and Lu Buqi didn't think this request was excessive. Even without Wang Lishou's existence, just the fact that the two of them had saved these hundreds of people made these requests seem reasonable.
Although the beheading knife is very precious, the host family has not stipulated that it cannot be lost. To be honest, relying on Wang Lishou and Lu Buqi's ability to kill the fine beast, if they want to rob this knife, who can stop them?
"That's it!" Lu Buqi shrugged: "Of course, if you feel guilty and want to make amends, that's your own business."
Ming Yan's eyebrows relaxed, and a genuine smile spread across his face: "Not abandoning brothers is truly a wonderful person. Ming Yan understood that no matter what you and Master Wang do in the future, just watch out for these days. My Ze Nu from Xi Yao Huo is not an ungrateful little person."
Saying that, Ming Yan suddenly stood up on one leg and loudly said: "Dadong, let everyone move their hands and feet quickly, hurry up and get everything ready..."
At the moment when Ming Yan was urging the progress with a serious face, Lu Buqi looked at Wang Lishou with embarrassment: "Master Wang, I'm very sorry. This silver wolf was killed by us together, but I took the liberty of leaving the heart core to Xihuangwu without informing you in advance."
