Ling Qianji's heart skipped a beat as he saw three eagle heads suddenly emerge from a nearby cave. He instinctively flew away on his sword.
The moment he left, a fiery pit appeared where he had just been.
Ling Qianji, "...Oh no! It's a guardian spirit beast!"
"Host, aren't you going to help?" the System asked Ling Qianji, speaking to Ming Li.
Ming Li pulled out an apple from somewhere and took a calm bite. "Don't forget, this is the male protagonist."
System: "......" So the male protagonist is invincible?

Over there, Ling Qianji looked at the seventh-tier three-headed eagle before him with a solemn expression, but he didn't leave for the sake of the spirit herb.
Seeing this, the three-headed eagle glared at the human daring to covet its spiritual medicine. It let out an angry cry, then flew up and shot a water ball at Ling Qianji.
As the name suggests, the three-headed eagle had three heads, each possessing a different elemental spiritual power.
Just as Ling Qianji dodged the water ball, he was hit by a ball of light, but he managed to grab the spirit herb.
Ling Qianji stored the spirit herb in his spatial ring. Looking at the three-headed eagle attacking him again, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a dark aura flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, Ling Qianji's spiritual power surged. In a flash, he dealt with the three-headed eagle. Then, as if drained of all strength by something, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted, falling straight from mid-air.
Ming Li, who had watched the entire process, narrowed his eyes and leaped forward to catch the unconscious Ling Qianji.
"Good heavens, demonic energy? This male protagonist is indeed interesting."
Glancing at the corpse of the three-headed eagle, Ming Li hooked his lips, casually tossed a ball of black fire to incinerate it, and then left the mountain range with Ling Qianji in his arms.
As they reached the exit of the mountain range, they encountered a group of acquaintances.
Ming Li narrowed his eyes dangerously as he saw a somewhat familiar young girl in the crowd.
The group also noticed Ming Li and Ling Qianji.
The young girl, upon seeing Ming Li and Ling Qianji, walked towards them furiously.
"Give me back my spirit beast egg!"
Ming Li raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly, "What spirit beast egg?"
"Don't play dumb with me! Give me back my spirit beast egg! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Ming Li narrowed his eyes and suddenly curled his lips. "Which egg are you talking about? I ate it. It tasted quite good."
"What! You dare to eat my spirit beast egg!"
Ming Li, "Didn't you give it to us yourself? Food delivered to our doorstep, it would be a waste not to eat it."
"Damn it! Do you know who our young lady is?! How dare you speak to our young lady like that!"
Ming Li cast a calm glance at the person speaking and truthfully replied, "No."
The speaker, "......" (lll￢w￢)
"Hmph! Our young lady is the third young lady of the Wan Hua Sect, Wan Qin! How dare you speak to our young lady like that, you insolent person!"
Ming Li raised his eyebrows, "Wan Hua Sect?"
The speaker, thinking Ming Li was intimidated, said proudly, "You're scared now, aren't you! Return our young lady's spirit beast egg!"
Ming Li looked at the speaker as if he were an idiot and said in a faint voice, "What sect is Wan Hua Sect? Never heard of it."
"......"
Hearing this, Wan Qin looked at Ming Li in exasperation and said to someone, "Take down this ignorant woman! Today, she must hand over my spirit beast egg!"
Ming Li, "...... Can't you understand human language?" Didn't they already say the egg was eaten? Hand it over? What a problem.
