Qin Feiyang was sweating profusely. This Lv Yun, she really had a fiery temper. Still, his good impression of her had risen another notch.

Seeing Qin Feiyang remain silent, Lv Yun felt a sense of helplessness. "Forget it," she said. "I'm tired of talking; do as you please. As for this period, I'll just consider you dead."

With that, she directly deactivated the Image Crystal Stone.

Qin Feiyang shook his head and gave a wry smile.

Subsequently, Yan Nanshan and Ren Wushuang also sent messages to Qin Feiyang. They began with a tone of reproach, but when they learned the truth, both of them were infuriated. However, under Qin Feiyang's instruction, neither of them made a sound, letting the Dong Family raise whatever fuss they wished.

Before long, Yin Yuanming and Huang San also sent messages to Qin Feiyang in succession, but Qin Feiyang ignored both. His relationship with Yin Yuanming was purely based on mutual benefit and unreliable. Huang San was even worse—a complete fence-sitter, far less dependable than Yin Yuanming.

"Boss, there's a cave here!"

At that moment, Fatty's surprised voice rang out. Before him, on the ground, was a hole about seven or eight meters wide, pitch-black within.

Qin Feiyang's spirits lifted. He put away the Image Crystal Stone and ran towards Fatty.

Meanwhile, the Pangolin also darted over, directly using its body to block the cave entrance.

The Wolf King ran over and shouted, "Get out of my way!"

The Pangolin retorted, "Not unless you give me the Transformation Pill and Barrier Breaking Pill first! I won't budge even if you beat me to death!"

"Trying to be shameless?"

The two humans and the wolf exchanged glances. It was a War King realm demonic beast, for crying out loud! Couldn't it have some dignity?

The Wolf King chuckled. "You really think I don't dare kill you?"

The Pangolin snorted coldly. "If you dare to make a move, I'll collapse this cave and leave you all staring blankly."

"You're testing my foul temper! Watch me beat you to death today!" The Wolf King was instantly enraged.

BOOM!

Its ferocious might erupted! In an instant, it entered its combat state, transforming into a muscular wolf.

The Pangolin's pupils contracted. It roared, "What are you trying to do? Bullying the small with your strength isn't the conduct of a gentleman!"

"Do I look like a gentleman to you?" The Wolf King was both irritated and amused. This Pangolin, with its constant talk of 'gentleman,' was simply too much. Its eyes darted. "HEH HEH," it chuckled. "Little bug, you're quite amusing. How about you become my underling?"

"HUMPH!" The Pangolin was filled with disdain. Look at itself, and it wants to be its big brother? Dream on!

"Interesting." The Wolf King grew enthusiastic. "Xiao Qinzi, give it the Transformation Pill and Barrier Breaking Pill."

"Are you sure?" Qin Feiyang asked.

The Wolf King nodded, a cunning glint in its eyes.

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile and said to Fatty, "Give me the medicinal ingredients."

Once Fatty sorted out two sets of ingredients, Qin Feiyang entered the ancient castle and refined the pills in less than a hundred breaths.

After consuming the Transformation Pill and the Barrier Breaking Pill, the Pangolin began to continuously grow larger and then smaller, clearly enjoying itself immensely.

Fatty said, "Can you lead the way now?"

"No need for me to lead," the Pangolin replied. "You enter the cave and keep going straight. You should arrive in about ten days to half a month. I have other matters to attend to, so I'm leaving first."

Before it even finished speaking, the Pangolin, now palm-sized, darted off. What a joke. That Rogue Wolf had been watching it like a hawk. If it went with them, it was guaranteed a miserable journey.

"HEH, trying to run?" The Wolf King grinned, also shrinking to palm-size, and leaped onto Fatty's shoulder.

Fatty immediately gave chase.

The Pangolin was a Four-star War King. Although Fatty was only a Two-star War King, he had mastered the superior auxiliary Martial Arts Technique, Step of Unification. His speed was comparable to that of a Five Star War King!

Before the Pangolin could escape the valley, Fatty was already one step ahead, blocking its path.

Fatty grinned slyly. "Little one, where do you think you're going?"

The Pangolin fumed, "I've already told you! What more do you want?"

The Wolf King said, "Nothing much. We just want you to come with us."

The Pangolin shook its head vehemently. "I'd rather die than go!"

"Looking for a beating!" The Wolf King leaped down, instantly activating Furious Rage and entering its combat state.

The Pangolin raged, "You're being unreasonable!"

"HEH!" The Wolf King bared its teeth, pounced directly, and began to thrash the Pangolin mercilessly.

Fatty, watching from the side, was laughing so hard his face was cramping. This Pangolin was too foolish, actually trying to reason with this Rogue Wolf? Was that even possible? There was no reasoning with it at all.

"OUCH!"

"Lighter, ow, ow, ow!"

"Uncle Wolf, please stop hitting me!"

"I'll go, alright? Can't I just go?"

The Pangolin finally understood. If it didn't go today, it would probably be beaten to death.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you'd just agreed from the start? You just had to force me to get rough," the Wolf King said with a smug chuckle. "Actually, I'm a very cultured and reasonable wolf."

"UH!" The Pangolin was taken aback. It looked the Wolf King up and down for a moment, then shook its head. "I really can't see it."

"What did you say?" The Wolf King stared at it menacingly.

"Nothing, nothing at all," the Pangolin hurriedly shook its head, fawning. "I meant, Brother Wolf, you're so handsome! You're practically my idol! I admire you so much!"

The Wolf King said proudly, "That's more like it. Let's go. Lead the way."

"Oh, heavens! Oh, earth!" the Pangolin wailed internally as it reluctantly headed towards the cave entrance. "Why am I so unlucky to encounter such a shameless narcissist?"

"Stop dawdling! Hurry up!" The Wolf King kicked out, sending the Pangolin flying with a yelp, right into the cave.

"Rogue Wolf, I'll kill your grandpa!" The Pangolin's furious roar echoed from within the cave.

"Oh, still dare to curse me?" The Wolf King charged into the cave, fuming.

Piercing wails sounded once more.

"This Pangolin is in for a tough time," Fatty thought, walking to the cave entrance and looking down sympathetically.

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a helpless smile and jumped into the cave. Fatty followed.

「A few moments later.」

The two landed at the bottom of the cave. Fatty waved his hand, and a plume of flame Battle Intent flared up, illuminating the surroundings. Ahead of them was a dark passage leading into the depths. The passage was roughly the size of the Pangolin.

Qin Feiyang said, "Alright, stop fooling around."

Only then did the Wolf King retract its claws. It kicked the Pangolin and ordered, "Quick, lead the way."

The Pangolin was covered in bruises, its scales shattered. A large bump now adorned its head, giving it a distinguished look. It scrambled up miserably, cast a resentful glance at the Wolf King, and, with a belly full of grievances, trotted forward.

The two humans and the wolf followed closely.

On the way, every day felt like a year to the Pangolin. If the Wolf King disagreed with anything, it would pounce and give the Pangolin a beating. In short, its suffering was unbearable.

「Half a month later.」

The passage began to slope upward at a forty-five-degree angle. At its end, a faint glimmer of light was visible. As they drew closer, the light grew stronger. That was the exit of the passage!

The Pangolin stopped, looking pitifully at the Wolf King. "Uncle Wolf, the exit is right up there. Can you let me go now?"

The Wolf King replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "You're my underling. Wherever I go, you naturally follow."

The Pangolin retorted angrily, "When did I ever admit to being your underling?"

"Quite a temper, huh!" The Wolf King sneered, then pounced and gave it another thrashing, snorting coldly, "If you don't admit it for a day, I'll beat you for a day. I'll beat you until you admit it."

"How can there be such an unreasonable wolf?" the Pangolin wailed.

"Easy to get on board, but hard to get off!" Fatty sighed, shaking his head. He retracted his Battle Intent and began to climb upwards.

When he reached the exit and saw the scene outside, he was instantly stunned.

Outside was a vast canyon. Within it, countless flowers bloomed in a riot of color, vying for beauty and forming an immense sea of blossoms. Amidst the flowers and in the air, butterflies of every hue flapped their beautiful wings, dancing gracefully. A clear stream meandered through, adding to the canyon's charm.

Qin Feiyang joined Fatty, equally dumbfounded by the sight. This place was simply a paradise!

Fatty suddenly pointed to a spot, exclaiming excitedly, "Boss, look! There's a Red Fire Glazed Tree over there!"

Qin Feiyang followed his gaze and indeed saw a small, fiery-red tree among the flowers.

"And over there are several Nine Suns Flowers!"

"And here, these look like some Fire Ginseng!"

"Look to the left! Those are Longevity Fruits!"

Fatty continued to exclaim in amazement. Among the flowers grew various medicinal ingredients, not only in large quantities but each one extremely rare. The sight was dazzling.

Qin Feiyang frowned. "Strange, why are there so many medicinal ingredients here?"

The Wolf King barked, "Pangolin, I'm asking you a question! Didn't you hear?"

"I don't know either," the Pangolin answered absently. Right now, it only had one thought: how to escape? If the Rogue Wolf continued to torment it, it would break down sooner or later.

Qin Feiyang asked, "Are there any people in the canyon?"

The Pangolin shook its head. "The canyon is too big. I never went looking, so I don't know."

Fatty asked, "Then how did you find Butterfly Valley?"

"By luck, of course! My luck is excellent; I can find treasures anywhere," the Pangolin declared proudly.

"Would it kill you not to brag?" Fatty rolled his eyes at it.

The Pangolin's eyes suddenly darted, and it said with a fawning smile, "How about I go down and scout things out for you?"

The Wolf King said disdainfully, "Do I look like a fool? The moment you get down there, I bet you'll dig a hole and bolt."

The Pangolin grinned sheepishly. That was indeed its plan.

"But you did give me an idea," the Wolf King嘿嘿smirked, looking at Qin Feiyang. "Xiao Qinzi, the Pangolin and I will go down for a look, and loot some medicinal ingredients while we're at it."

"Alright, be careful," Qin Feiyang nodded in agreement. Both the Wolf King and the Pangolin could shrink themselves. Hidden among the flowers, even if there were people in Butterfly Valley, they might not be spotted.

"You better not try any tricks, or I'll cripple you," the Wolf King threatened the Pangolin before leading it down, sneaking furtively towards the canyon floor.

Qin Feiyang leaned out and looked up and down. They were currently on a mountain peak that was over a hundred zhang high, and the cave exit was at its midpoint.

"Boss, why don't we climb up and take a look?" Fatty suggested.

Qin Feiyang nodded. The higher one stood, the farther one could see.

Thus, the two of them grabbed onto protruding rocks and, like monkeys, swiftly climbed towards the mountain summit.
