Chapter 55

Li Shiwen discovered Qin Ran and his apprentice, this was no coincidence.

Recently there have been frequent incidents of demon beasts going berserk and injuring people. He had a premonition that something was going on deep within the Hengduan Mountains. So these days, he had been patrolling the outskirts of the Hengduan Mountains.

Firstly to drive away the frenzied demon beasts, secondly to warn the foolish hunters and cultivators who did not know life from death, and thirdly to investigate the reason why the demon beasts were going berserk.

Tonight as he was patrolling this area, he saw a bonfire on the barren land from afar, and immediately brought his troops over to check exactly who was being so foolish as to not know life from death.

But as soon as he looked, he saw that it was actually his younger sister together with her master over there and...

"And what?" Li Shiyin's big eyes were a little confused as she asked Li Shiwen.

Li Shiwen did not know how to explain, so he rode forward on his horse.

Li Shiyin looked at Qin Ran doubtfully again. Qin Ran shook his head, also not knowing how to explain, and hurriedly rode forward to catch up with Li Shiwen.

Li Shiwen led the patrol troops, about all elites, wearing armor and carrying bows, spears and sabers, well-equipped for both close and long range combat.

Their armor was painted black, almost the same color as the darkness, like extinguished torches, they would blend into the darkness and become the grim reapers in the dark.

As they came and went, they moved uniformly and swiftly like gale force winds and lightning.

If Qin Ran had not been riding an Immortal Spirit Horse, he would not have even seen the tail end of this cavalry unit.

He rode a white horse, hugging the little lamia Long Qiqi, galloping to the front of the troop to catch up with Li Shiwen, and avoiding the confused Li Shiyin.

"Who is she?" Li Shiwen gestured at Long Qiqi in Qin Ran's arms and asked.

"Demon beast!" Qin Ran answered concisely.

"Demon beast?!"

Qin Ran hmmed and did not explain further.

Li Shiyin who was in the midst of asking the troops for bows, arrows and spears, glanced over and saw Li Shiwen's ignorant appearance. She curled her lips slightly with some contempt.

"Your general really has no experience. He has never even seen a demon beast snake before." She said to the soldier beside her.

"Ah yes yes yes." The soldiers nodded.

And seeing Qin Ran's expression, Li Shiwen knew he had overreacted. After all, this was an immortal expert, what was a small demon beast snake?

So he gave a little cough by himself and stopped talking, so as to avoid further exposing his own lack of knowledge.

The cavalry moved extremely fast, and in no time at all, they arrived at the place where the scout had reported seeing the demon beasts.

Qin Ran had good eyesight. Looking from afar, he could see amidst the darkness, pairs upon pairs of blood red eyes, and with the help of the torchlight from this side, he could also vaguely make out the sharp ears and long snouts in the dark undergrowth.

“Ready your bows!”

They were still quite a distance away that even Qin Ran could barely make out the details. Li Shiwen definitely could not see the specific situation over there, but without further thought, Li Shiwen already fired a rain of arrows over.

While keeping up, he sent out his divine sense to search for something amongst the wolf pack until finally, after much effort, at a certain moment he found his target on that slightly bigger wolf hiding amongst the pack...

The Wolf King!

"Shiyin..." He called out urgently.

Unlike Qin Ran, Li Shiyin had grown up on horseback since young. Riding and shooting arrows was like eating and drinking to her. She had also experienced cavalry offense and defense before. At that moment, she was happily going with the flow of Li Shiwen's tempo.

Hearing Qin Ran calling for her, she took the chance to ask during the brief respite, “What’s the matter?”

“The Wolf King!”

Qin Ran shared his line of sight via his divine sense to Li Shiyin, allowing her to also see the hiding Wolf King. She instantly became excited, spurring her horse out of formation to rush next to Li Shiwen and snatching his steel spear.

She stood up on her white horse, took a step forward to plant a foot on the horse's head and shouted, "From now on, I'm the older sister, Li Shiwen!"

The spear shot through the air in a parabolic trajectory. Its tip glinted in the bright light before accurately piercing the Wolf King's torso, nailing it directly to the ground.

It was as if there was some strange effect at play. The moment the Wolf King died, the wolf pack instantly lost all fighting spirit and began to scatter loosely.

The cavalry drew their bows and volleys of arrows rained down. The dead wolves died and the scattered ones fled. The pack quickly disappeared into the forest.

"Awesome..."

The cavalry cheered and their horses neighed along.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Shiyin". Qin Ran could clearly hear it was Li Shiwen shouting. Then some others followed shouting, they were trusted aides of the Li family.

Then wave after wave of cheers rang out:

"Shiyin!"

"Shiyin!"

"Shiyin..."

Li Shiyin stood on the horse's head with both hands raised, basking in the cheers, looking every bit like a...

Villainous demon lord!

As Qin Ran watched on, he felt that the cheers were a perfect match for his silly apprentice's performance. She was born to stand in the center of the stage, destined to be the brightest star in the night sky.

His heart suddenly felt itchy.

"What do you think?" Li Shiwen's voice suddenly sounded next to his ear and Qin Ran saw him riding over while watching Shiyin and asking him.

"Think of what?" Qin Ran did not know what Li Shiwen wanted to ask.

"What do you think of my sister?"

"Shiyin is great!" Qin Ran replied.

"Do you like her then?"
