Chapter 223 Eat bear meat tonight (3rd update)
After drinking the sobering tea, Yao Nan sat for a long time before lying down.
After agreeing to his mother's request, Yao Nan slept restlessly all night and fell asleep after a long time.
The second day.
Yao Nan came to Xia Xiaoman's room first.
Xia Xiaoman poured tea for Yao Nan. This was the hot tea that the maid had just brought.
"Xiaoman, I have something to tell you."
Yao Nan held the tea cup.
Hearing this, Xia Xiaoman sat down and looked at her curiously.
"My mother came to see me last night. She accidentally overheard our conversation yesterday." Yao Nan looked at the tea in the cup. "She knew that you are a monk in the Divine Aperture Realm and wanted to ask you to help deal with the demon spirits."
She didn't want to riddle her either, so she had better just tell the truth.
Xia Xiaoman blinked, and then asked: "Do you want me to help?"
After all, the two sides just discussed this issue yesterday.
Yao Nan slowly shook his head: "I don't know either."
Xia Xiaoman said: "You said what you were worried about yesterday, and I think it makes sense. But since you didn't reject Madam, there must be a reason for your hesitation."
"Um"
Yao Nan responded softly, it was indeed what she said.
Yao Nan sighed: "Father, he attaches great importance to the mining rights this time. If he can get it, the Yao family's status in Yanagawa will be different from now on."
Although she was a little worried and didn't want Xiaoman to get involved in this matter, her mother asked her to do it, and her father had been working hard for the family these years, so she couldn't bear to refuse.
Yao Nan quickly said: "Xiaoman, you can refuse. Mother promised me that I won't force it."
Xia Xiaoman did not answer immediately, but asked: "Have you told your mother what you are worried about?"
Yao Nan said: "I have said it before, but they should also have their own plans."
"That's no problem, I'll help you."
Xia Xiaoman naturally saw Yao Nan's wishes. Although she was worried, she still hoped that her father could get the mining rights.
In this case, she planned to help.
It was the Yao family themselves who had to bear the responsibility afterwards, she just helped to deal with the demon spirits.
As for whether it will cause trouble for myself.
She didn't think about it because she didn't care.
But after agreeing, Xia Xiaoman frowned again. She suddenly realized that she had easily agreed to someone else's request.
But this is a request from a friend, so it should be fine.
Besides, this is not an unknown matter, it's just a demon spirit being dealt with.
Yao Nan felt relieved, and she said gratefully: "Thank you, Xiaoman, it's really been a big help."
"It's okay, it's okay." Xia Xiaoman calmed down, waved his hand, and then asked: "When will we set off? We can solve it early."
"I-I'll go back and ask my mother."
Yao Nan immediately got up and ran.
After learning that Xia Xiaoman was willing to help, He Aiying was also excited and immediately came to see Xia Xiaoman.
Finally decided to leave at noon that day.
Because this mine is not far from the city, it only takes less than two hours to reach the destination.
At noon, the two got into the carriage.
Apart from the coachman, they were the only two people in the group.
This was Xia Xiaoman's first time riding a carriage, so it was still a bit fresh.
Yao Nan said: "Xiaoman, if that demon spirit is very strong, let's give up."
"good."
Seeing that she was a little nervous, Xia Xiaoman responded first, and then said with a smile: "Relax a little, we haven't seen each other yet."
Yao Nan blushed and muttered: "I haven't seen the demon spirit yet."
Xia Xiaoman had seen a lot of them when he was in Chaotic Soul Abyss.
But demon spirits are nothing.
There is also a peerless demon king on Mount Hengxuan.
Although Xia Xiaoman told Yao Nan that her sect was very powerful, Yao Nan obviously had no idea.
In her opinion, the Divine Aperture Realm was already extremely powerful, and there was no such powerful figure in the Lingjian Sect back then.
After a long time, the two came to the mountains.
Under the leadership of the driver, the two quickly arrived at the stronghold.
"Xonan."
A middle-aged man walked towards me. He was tall and had a clean beard, giving him a refreshing first impression.
"Father."
Yao Nan called with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man looked at Xia Xiaoman who was standing aside and said, "You must be Xiaonan's friend Xia Xiaoman. I am Xiaonan's father Yao Taien."
He Aiying had someone deliver a letter to him early in the morning, and he was surprised when he learned about it.
After meeting Xia Xiaoman, Yao Taien was still a little suspicious.
So young, could he be a monk in the divine orifice realm?
"Hello."
Xia Xiaoman nodded, and then asked: "Where is the demon spirit?"
"No hurry, no rush."
Yao Taien smiled and asked, "Is this kid really a monk in the Divine Aperture Realm?"
Xia Xiaoman understood what he meant, and then released his vitality.
Buzz.
The extremely majestic energy spread, and although it did not overwhelm anyone, it still made everyone around them feel a sense of oppression.
Those Mortal Realm monks were also keenly aware that their vitality had become sluggish.
Yao Nan on the side was also shocked. Although she had never doubted the authenticity of this matter, she was still shocked after feeling this power.
This is stronger than those elders in Lingjian Sect back then!
"Master Yao, this little girl is indeed a monk in the Divine Aperture Realm."
A thin man came up and confirmed the matter again.
Yao Taien was also very surprised, and then hurriedly introduced him to Xia Xiaoman.
"This is another cultivator in the Divine Realm in my team."
The thin man said: "Ge Ren, a local of Liuchuan."
He had also walked out of Liuchuan and met many young strong men, but it was the first time he had seen such a young cultivator in the Divine Realm as this one.
Moreover, from the fluctuation of vitality released earlier, he could sense that the other party seemed to be stronger than himself!
"Xia Xiaoman."
The two shook hands.
"Great, with the help of my friend, we will definitely be able to capture the demon spirit this time!" Yao Taien was already a little impatient.
So he immediately called everyone over.
"Get ready to go! Capture it today, and we will go back to the city for good wine and meat!"
Everyone cheered, as if they had already won the mining rights and were ready to have a banquet.
Without further ado, everyone set off immediately.
Just as Xia Xiaoman was exchanging information about the demon spirit with Ge Ren, Yao Taien came to his daughter Yao Nan.
"Xiao Nan, you really helped Dad this time."
Yao Taien was in a good mood, and the haze in his heart these days was dispelled.
Hearing this, Yao Nan smiled and said, "Father should thank Xiao Man later."
Yao Taien nodded and said, "You are right, but I have to thank you this time. If you didn't have this relationship with her, this wouldn't have happened."
It is also a blessing for Yao Nan to have such a friend.
Now Xia Xiaoman has also made a name for herself, but she still remembers her, an ordinary person, and she is also moved and happy in her heart.
Soon, everyone came to the vicinity of the mineral vein, where Yao Taien's people also took charge.
Sure enough, outside a natural mine cave that had no signs of mining, there was a tall figure crawling there.
It was a black bear, exuding a pungent wild smell.
"Fanged Black Armored Bear."
Xia Xiaoman recognized the monster. She had encountered one in the Chaos Soul Abyss before, but the one at that time was much larger than the one in front of her, and was a demon general.
The one in front of her was indeed a demon spirit.
The Fanged Black Armored Bear has a strong body, and its fur is like solid armor. It may be difficult for ordinary cultivators in the Divine Realm to break through its defense.
Yao Taien asked: "My friend, do you think you and Ge Ren can win together?"
"No problem."
Xia Xiaoman stood up, then looked at Ge Ren who also stood up, and said: "I'm fine alone, you protect them."
Hearing this, Ge Ren frowned: "You want to fight it alone? Isn't it too arrogant?"
"No."
Xia Xiaoman shook his head.
The people on the side were also shocked.
This woman actually wants to fight the Fanged Black Armored Bear alone?
Yao Nan said quickly: "Xiao Man! Let's join forces. There's no need to be brave!"
"Trust me, this is nothing." Xia Xiao Man smiled at her.
So Xia Xiao Man walked out.
And the fanged black-armored bear immediately moved. It opened its huge eyes and stared at the human girl with its wild pupils.
Seeing her so confident, Ge Ren didn't know what to say, but he also watched from the side. If something unexpected happened, he would take action immediately.
Xia Xiao Man put one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and said with a smile.
"Bear, bear, if you don't run away, I will eat bear meat tonight."
Ah!
The fanged black-armored bear stood up and roared fiercely, making everyone's ears ring.
Xia Xiao Man walked over.
The fanged black-armored bear ran towards the girl, shaking the ground. When it got close, it suddenly stood up. Its huge body blocked the sun, and its huge bear paw slapped Xia Xiao Man.
Seeing this scene, many people remembered their comrades who died under this slap a few days ago.
This slap was enough to beat a person into a pulp!
Even Yao Nan held her breath at this moment. Although she wanted to believe Xia Xiaoman, this scene still made her a little nervous.
After all, it was a demon spirit.
It happened in a split second.
The bear's paw came with a roar, and no one noticed that the girl's hand grabbed the hilt of the sword and stretched out at that moment.
"Fang Cun Kill."
Hiss!
In an instant, there was a harsh sound of wind passing by, which made people frown inadvertently.
Then a jaw-dropping scene happened.
A black bear's arm flew out of the air, and blood splashed all over the sky and fell like rain.
Even before the painful wail could be heard, Xia Xiaoman shouted in a hearty voice and drew her sword.
"Cut!"
The sword light was dazzling, and it drew a straight line, splitting the body of the fanged black-armored bear in two halves, and it fell to the sides.
Crack.
The sword was sheathed, and Xia Xiaoman put one hand on his waist.
"We're eating bear meat tonight."
