249: C249 Beast Hunt

C249 Beast Hunt

Zhang Fan had a smile on his face as he sized up Ouyang Xian`er. He lightly pinched her cheek and said, "You're thinner than before. How about you eat more in the future?"

"Mm." Ouyang Xian`er nodded with a smile on her face, but the tears in the corner of her eyes and the redness in her eyes created an extremely beautiful scene.

Reaching out a hand, she gently wiped away Ouyang Xian`er's tears. At this moment, Ouyang Xian`er couldn't help but close her eyes.

Zhang Fan's pretty eyebrows trembled slightly. His gaze landed on that small mouth of hers, and his heart was slightly moved. Just as he was thinking about how it would affect his relationship, his heart relaxed as well.

He had considered Ouyang Xian`er's position in his heart, and knew that it was of utmost importance. However, he had tried to ask himself, did he really take Ouyang Xian`er to be his little sister?!

If it was his younger sister, he had already imagined it. If Ouyang Xian`er were to marry someone else, his heart would be filled with an unexplainable restlessness.

In fact, he had even evaluated the relationship between Ouyang Xian`er and Wang Yao. He wasn't sure if it was because he had always been with Xian'er, but even though he didn't want to admit it, she was now on the same level as Wang Yao.

Because right now, he wasn't even sure if Wang Yao had actually come to this world or not. If she had, then what kind of status did she have now?!

Even if the two of them met, their hearts would still tremble. Their eyes revealed a complicated look, the kind of girl who would risk her life just for herself …

At this moment, Ouyang Xian`er opened her eyes. When she saw the absent-minded Zhang Fan, a look of puzzlement appeared on her face. She couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Zhang Fan came back to his senses and revealed a smile. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm thinking about how good it would be for me and Xian'er to be together forever."

A ripple appeared in Ouyang Xian`er's eyes as she heard this. She nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I want to be Young Master's maidservant for the rest of my life. I'll never part with Young Master!"

Zhang Fan smiled and gently pressed his hand on her face, then lightly kissed her forehead. He didn't say anything. If he really wanted Ouyang Xian`er to stay by his side, he definitely wouldn't let Xian'er be a mere maidservant.

This was because in Zhang Fan's heart, Ouyang Xian`er had never been a maidservant before.

At this moment, Zhang Fan couldn't help but think back to the joke that Zhang Fan had played for Ouyang Xian`er back in Floating Cloud Country. "If no one marries him, then he'll marry Xian`er." He still remembered the shy and panicked expression on Ouyang Xian`er's face. Now that he thought back to it, he felt that this little girl was so innocent and adorable.

Zhang Fan stayed with Ouyang Xian`er for a full day, and even at night, Zhang Fan didn't return. On the second day, Zhang Fan and Ouyang Xian`er split up and returned.

Returning to the inner courtyard, Zhang Fan first went to Old Qin's place.

Old Man Qin, on the other hand, was extremely relaxed. When he saw Zhang Fan return, he didn't show any expression. Instead, he said in a lukewarm manner, "You're back!"

"Yeah." Zhang Fan nodded his head.

"It's good that you're back. Cultivate well in the next few days. The Hunting Competition will be held in the next few days." Old Qin lightly nodded his head, and then his eyes lit up: "My requirements are not high. Get one for me, it's good that you're back first."

"Understood, Master." Zhang Fan nodded his head. His eyes were burning with eagerness, and since he was participating, he might as well say that he would take first place.

After sitting with Old Man Qin for a while, Zhang Fan once again arrived at Old Man Ding's place.

On the other hand, when Elder Ding saw Zhang Fan's return, he was extremely happy. He was very different from Old Qin.

He sat with Elder Ding for a while. When he was about to go see Elder Wei, he suddenly thought of something and walked towards a pill room where a masked woman was refining pills. She was none other than Yang Sixuan, whom he had not seen for a month.

At this moment, Yang Sixuan seemed to have sensed something and involuntarily lifted her head. When she saw Zhang Fan, her expression immediately fluctuated and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes. "You're back!"

"Yes." Just as Zhang Fan nodded, his soul energy suddenly fluctuated and a purple light appeared. Almost in an instant, he carried Yang Sixuan and left the place.

Bang! With a loud sound, the furnace exploded again.

"My apologies, I really want to disturb you," Zhang Fan could not help but say as he let go of Yang Sixuan.

"It's alright." Yang Sixuan shook her head.

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "How's your month?"

"Not bad." Yang Sixuan smiled and asked, "What about you?"2

"Mmm, it's the same." Zhang Fan smiled as he replied. Then he paused for a moment before continuing, "Why don't you concoct the pill? I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go check on Elder Wei."

"Alright." Yang Sixuan watched Zhang Fan's departing back, and her expression slightly fluctuated.

After arriving at Old Wei's place, Old Wei was extremely happy as well. He asked Zhang Fan about a lot of things. After calculating, only Old Qin was indifferent.

After chatting with Old Wei for a while, Zhang Fan wanted to leave, but he walked to a room where Yue Yi was refining seriously.

Then... Zhang Fan also carried Yue Yi away. It was only at this moment that he realized how light Yue Yi's weight was …

"Brother, I'm sorry," Zhang Fan laughed awkwardly. He had actually managed to affect two people.

Zhang Fan couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, stop concocting pills and go cultivate. The Beast Hunting Competition I told you about should be going to be held soon. We can be a team and take first place."

"En," Yue Yi nodded and followed Zhang Fan outside.

A week later, the Beast Hunting Competition arrived. Zhang Fan was still unable to break through during this week. However, Yue Yi had managed to break through. The main reason was because Zhang Fan had personally concocted a pill for her.

The rules of the Hunter Competition were posted on the academy's bulletin board.

Zhang Fan went to take a look and found that he could participate as a team, but if there were five people, then he would have to be allocated by the academy. Other rules stated that people above the Royal Level could not participate, and later on, they could not cheat, nor could they take the crystal cores they had prepared. Thus, at this time, the academy thought of a way to obtain the crystal cores of a magical beast, which was to leave behind something like horns, scales, or some other landmark, or the crystal cores would not count.

Even Zhang Fan himself admitted that this was a very good method. The other method was to give a week's preparation and registration time. A week later, the competition would officially begin.

At this time, Zhang Fan calculated that if he was alone, he would be able to count himself, Yue Yi, and Yang Sixuan, making up three people. Finally, Zhang Fan thought of Ouyang Xian'er.

Thus, on the same day, Zhang Fan once again set foot on Linlang Peak and went to find Ouyang Xian'er.

Arriving at Ouyang Xian`er's room, Zhang Fan directly told her about this matter.

When Ouyang Xian`er heard this, she naturally agreed. Otherwise, she would have to separate from Zhang Fan again. At this time, the two of them had already found the Vice Principal.

The Vice Principal didn't say much and just nodded and agreed. He looked at the two of them with a kind smile and said, "Work hard and strive for first place!"

Zhang Fan nodded with a smile after hearing this. However, when the two of them left, he didn't notice any fluctuations from the vice principal.

After the two of them left the mountain, the Vice Principal couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his face revealed a hint of melancholy. He muttered to himself, "Xian'Er, don't blame your Grandfather Xiao, because your parents really can't be delayed any longer. I'm doing this for your own good.

This was the first time in a long time that Ouyang Xian`er had gone down the mountain with a smile and excitement on her face. Zhang Fan didn't stay idle either, bringing Ouyang Xian`er around the academy, and then found Yue Yi and Yang Sixuan, but now that there was only one person missing, it seemed like it was about time for them to register, Zhang Fan quickly thought of something and went straight to Qiu Qingyan. Back then, he had first thought of Shen Jingyi, but he was also a cultivation madman.

Qiu Qingyan was currently a member of the heavenly calamity, so after hearing Zhang Fan's words, she agreed directly. Thus, the five people directly went to register. When they were selecting their captain, Zhang Fan was directly chosen.

The last number plate was given to them. When they looked at the number, they realized that it was already the eleventh team.

"The competition will officially begin one week from now. The five of us should train properly this week." Zhang Fan let out a sigh, his eyes flashing as he said, "We should directly take first place."

"Okay." The five nodded their heads.

Therefore, in the next few days, the few of them stayed in the cultivation area. Because Zhang Fan was wearing a instructor's medal, he was able to dispense with the charge fee, which was why he took out the money he had left behind in the outer court and the inner court. There shouldn't be any problems during these few days.

Four days had passed, and Zhang Fan was still thinking of taking the opportunity to break through, but now it seemed that he would not make it. In the end, he decided to make a breakthrough, and on the last day of the week, they went to Lan Ting Town to buy some things, such as some dried food, water, and some fruits.

On the second day, the five of them gathered together at the inner courtyard's plaza. At this time, there were quite a few people there as well, roughly a few hundred people.

As for these several hundred people, they were all chosen from the outer courtyard to enter the inner courtyard. Therefore, each person possessed extremely formidable strength and talent. Zhang Fan could definitely feel the pressure.

However, he had completely released the unyielding power within his bones. Wasn't it just pressure? The stronger it was, the better it was!
