Predators and preys had incredibly come together peacefully.

The scene was spectacular. Fortunately, there was no one there.

Those who didn’t know better would think that they had witnessed a miracle.

During this period of time, with the recommendation of the green snake, she had healed many animals who suffered from injuries or illnesses.

Unexpectedly, her reputation grew, and all the animals in the mountain range came to her.

This was the first time Xia Muqing found out that animals were so gossipy.

However, they didn’t come empty-handed either. They would always bring some of their treasure for Xia Muqing.

Even if the animals had been cured or healed, they would always send Xia Muqing some gifts to express their gratitude.

It seemed that beasts knew more about gratitude than humans.

This was also the reason why Xia Muqing was willing to interact with beasts.

Xia Muqing’s essential energy had already reached the fifth level after this period of cultivation. It was the peak she had attained in her previous life.

The essential energy she was cultivating consisted of nine levels.

In Xia Muqing’s previous life, when she reached the fifth level, she hardly had any opponents.

She didn’t expect that she would be able to return to what she had attained in her previous life so quickly.

Firstly, she had gone through and fully comprehended every level of the cultivation process.

Secondly, this world was very suitable for practicing essential energy.

Xia Muqing couldn’t help but think about the ninth level that her master had always talked about in her previous life. Perhaps it could really be achieved in this world.

These days, Xia Muqing had been looking for animals to be her training partner.

At the beginning, she was no match for the animals and suffered losses.

It had only taken Xia Muqing two months to defeat every beast in the middle range of the mountains.

Xia Muqing took a break after finishing the day’s journey.

She turned to look at the animals that followed behind her, and she felt helpless.

They had assumed that the reason why Xia Muqing had improved so quickly was because of the daily morning jog.

So everyone followed her every day.

No matter how she explained, they wouldn’t listen.

Xia Muqing simply let them be and as they didn’t disturb her.

After her jog, she sat on a mat made of licorice that had been laid out previously. She then began to channel and cultivate her essential energy.

At the start of the meditation, all the animals sat on the ground and copied Xia Muqing’s posture.

And everyone really did a decent job.

But Xia Muqing kept changing her posture.

And it looked like yoga.

At this moment, the animals with four limbs started to mimic proudly.

The other animals without limbs hung their heads in disappointment.

This happened every day.

After Xia Muqing finished cultivating, she opened her eyes to see the animals in weird poses.

With twinkling eyes, she stared at the animals in front of her and asked, “Who will be my sparring partner today?”

Although they couldn’t understand Xia Muqing’s words, they could read the expression in her eyes.

It was mainly because every beast had been abused too much during this period of time.

It wasn’t because Xia Muqing was too ruthless, but because she could accurately guess every one of her opponent’s attacks.

This feeling was too stifling.

Over time, no animal wanted to be Xia Muqing’s sparring partner.

They all lowered their heads and ran away, afraid that Xia Muqing would spot them.

In the blink of an eye, the animals around her disappeared without a trace.

Xia Muqing could only silently turn to Gungun, who sat on her shoulder.

Gungun, who was taking a nap, sensed danger. It was startled awake and looked around warily.

There was no danger.

Just as it was feeling puzzled, it met Xia Muqing’s gaze.

Gungun scrambled to jump off her shoulder, and was about to run the moment it touched the ground.

Xia Muqing grabbed it.

The current Xia Muqing could already match its lightning speed.

Squeak squeak squeak—

Gungun kept struggling.

It would rather die than be Xia Muqing’s sparring partner.

“Didn’t you enjoy being my sparring partner?” Xia Muqing asked.

Squeak squeak squeak—

Initially, it was willing as Xia Muqing couldn’t defeat it.

It openly bullied Xia Muqing, and after that it had delicious food to eat. This made Gungun excited for a long time.

Now that both of their situations had been switched, it naturally had no wish to continue.

A smile flashed across Xia Muqing’s eyes.

She was only scaring it because it was sleeping so soundly.
