3207: Escaped

Escaped

The father and daughter were chatting while the other two men were busy picking up branches and roasting meat. Time passed unknowingly, until Feng Jiu, who was resting in the girl's arms, smelt the scent of roast meat and jumped out of the girl's arms. She came to the fire and squatted there looking at the fire and the roast meat that had turned a golden brown.1

"Haha, it seems this little beast likes to eat cooked food." The man couldn't help but smile when he saw the little beast staring at the roast meat. 

"This little beast is so strange. All the beasts here eat raw food, why does it like cooked food? Could it be that it was raised by humans? Maybe it got lost?" The other man said, as he looked at the beast squatting by the fire. 

The girl was startled when she heard this: "Raised by humans? Do you mean to say that this little beast has an owner?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "It is possible. This little beast is obviously different from the beasts here. It doesn't eat raw food and isn't afraid of humans, I think it's possible that it has been raised by humans."

Feng Jiu looked back at them, then she stared at the roast meat. 

Upon seeing this, the girl stepped forward and cut off a small piece of roast meat and wrapped it in leaves, then she brought it over to the little beast: "Come, eat this!" She was about to put it on the ground when the little beast stepped forward and held the piece of meat wrapped in leaves with two paws. It sat like that holding the piece of meat and ate it. 

When she saw this human-like demeanour, the girl was stunned: "Maybe it really has been raised by someone."

Feng Jiu ignored them and ate the roast meat by herself. As she listened to them talk, she discovered that there were more of them, but they had been separated and they were now looking for the others. 

The reason that they had come into Daedrath Forest was because of a big demon in the forest. They wanted to take the demon's horn to an alchemist to exchange it for a medicinal pill to cure the girl's secret illness. 

She listened to them speak, and she jumped into the girl's arms after she had eaten her fill. This temporary bed was quite comfortable.

In the afternoon, they continued to walk forward, and Feng Jiu was taken by the girl. Since she would probably have to stay in here for quite a while, she might as well spend some time with them! She wondered how long the Beast-Shaping Pill would take to wear off, and how long more she would have to stay here before she returned to Pill King Valley. 

She had a feeling that if she stayed with these cultivators and left this place, she might never return to Pill King Valley. If she wanted to return, she would have to stay here. She believed that after a period of time, the old man would have to bring her back. But if she were to leave this place, then that may not happen. 

Du Fan and the others were still there, and she didn't know what the situation was right now.

Along the way, the demon beasts that they encountered were taken care of by those people, and there were no major problems. After a day, she saw that the combat power of those people weren't weak. 

However, when the sun set and the sky got dark, she came to her senses.

She had to leave!

As soon as the sun had set, she would transform back to her human form. If those people saw her transform from a beast to a human, wouldn't that frighten them?

So, she took the opportunity and ran away in a flash when those people weren't paying attention and disappeared into the grass…

The girl had finished roasting the meat and was about to give it to the little beast. When she turned around and discovered that the little beast who had been lying on the rock had disappeared, she couldn't help being surprised: "Father, did you see the little beast?"

The middle-aged man was also taken aback. He shook his head: "No, but it was still there earlier. Why has it disappeared?"
