Getting a new pet

Baili Hongzhuang frowned and cast a displeased look at Zhao Yunxi, her eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

Even though she was confident in her own abilities, Zhao Yunxi's actions had effectively put her in a difficult position.

Shao Zifan's expression turned unpleasant, and he quickly spoke up, "Yunxi didn't mean it. I apologize on her behalf!"

Having known Zhao Yunxi for many years, he was well aware of her impulsive nature, but he knew she had no ill intentions towards Baili Hongzhuang.

"I... I didn't mean it," Zhao Yunxi said, struggling with her words.

Although she didn't want to apologize to Baili Hongzhuang, she knew she had made a mistake in this matter.

The displeasure in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes eased slightly as she understood from Zhao Yunxi's attitude that her apology was sincere.

"I'll go ahead," Baili Hongzhuang said slowly.

Though a few cultivators had overheard the conversation, their numbers were small, and she didn't think they would do anything.

Shao Zifan nodded repeatedly, "Let's go back together then."

Once this news spread, some cultivators would undoubtedly develop malicious intentions. After all, the rewards for obtaining the demon pet were too tempting.

Zhao Yunxi remained silent. Since she caused the trouble, it was only right for her to do so.

Hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang didn't refuse, knowing that if she did, Shao Zifan and the others would think she was still angry about the incident, which would affect their relationship.

As expected, when Baili Hongzhuang agreed, Shao Zifan's face lit up with joy.

The fiery gazes of the surrounding cultivators fell upon Baili Hongzhuang and her companions. Defeating Baili Hongzhuang would make them the first place in the royal hunting competition!

Not only would they obtain the coveted demon pet, but they would also bring glory to their ancestors and gain great fame!

Sensing the gazes, Baili Hongzhuang's icy cold gaze swept over the crowd, indifferent and merciless.

The once passionate cultivators seemed to have been doused with cold water.

How could they forget the formidable strength of Baili Hongzhuang, who had slain the Dark Nether Wolf King and the Swift Wind Wolf!

The night she wore the blood-stained clothes had left a lasting impact on everyone's memory. Few could forget that scene.

As enticing as the demon pet was, it required one's life to enjoy its benefits.

They still remembered the fierce and ruthless look in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes when she killed the Dark Nether Wolf. If they were to attack her, she would likely show no mercy!

Their racing hearts suddenly came to a halt, and one by one, they turned their gazes away and continued forward.

Though they heard what Zhao Yunxi said, they still wanted to witness the corpse of the Swift Wind Wolf with their own eyes.

Seeing the others wisely leave, Baili Hongzhuang withdrew her gaze and continued calmly towards the exit of the hunting ground.

Shao Zifan and Zhao Yunxi exchanged a glance. After the battle with the Dark Nether Wolf pack, Baili Hongzhuang's reputation had spread far and wide.

However, despite the temptation of the first place, they still had to watch and refrain from taking action. Only a few could match her strength!

"I didn't expect the Swift Wind Wolf to be killed by Baili Hongzhuang. I thought the first place would definitely go to the Crown Prince!"

"Why didn't you attack just now? If we defeat Baili Hongzhuang, the first place will be ours."

"Are you kidding? Didn't you see the look in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes? Once we make a move, our fate will likely be no better than the Swift Wind Wolf's."

The crowd sighed with emotion. When they first learned that the task for the first place was to slay the Swift Wind Wolf, they had prepared to attack it together, leaving the demon crystal behind. However, they had many concerns because the other party was highly likely to be Xuan Yuanhuan.
