It was the height of summer, although it would be early, but the temperature around was not low, the hot sun projected down, roasted Tang pear a little hot, seeing that the other party did not move in half a sound, she was just about to speak, a gust of wind hit her face.

Feeling this sudden coolness, Tang Li also calmed down, and then noticed the gaze of the hooded boy in front of him, and his gaze seemed to fall on her cheek - the same side that he had almost scratched with a stone earlier.

Recalling the thrilling scene before, Tang Li couldn't help frowning and looking at him vigilantly.

Originally thought that he would make the next move, but he quickly withdrew his gaze, crouched down, and began to seriously deal with the nearby weeds.

The herbs they are responsible for are not of a high grade, so they are not taken seriously, they are almost overgrown, the workload is not small, and the temperature will get higher and higher as time goes on.

Thinking of this, Tang Li didn't continue to ask, distanced himself from the hooded boy, walked to another place, and began to pull weeds.

In the blink of an eye, the meal was still half unfinished, and Tang Li proposed to come back after finishing the meal and continuing.

The little fat man naturally agreed, and he rubbed his little belly, indicating that his stomach was already growling with hunger.

The hooded boy remained silent and walked alone, but Tang Li always felt that he seemed a little strange.

Before, he directly ignored her, and now he probably wanted to ignore her like before, but he couldn't help but lock on to her with his gaze.

If it weren't for the keen senses of the Spirit Mu Beast, Tang Li probably wouldn't have noticed this subtle change at all—as if he had been targeted as a prey.

Could it be that he knew that she had discovered his demon identity?

The Eight Great Sects almost do not accept the Demon Clan as disciples, especially the Seven Peaks Sect, if they are discovered, they will definitely be driven out and sent back to the territory of the Demon Clan. That's why Tang Li didn't expose him directly, anyway, his awkward disguise couldn't last long.

Tang Li glanced at him, or find a time to find out to him, as long as he stopped hurting people at will, she wouldn't care about his nossiness.

☆☆☆

When he came to the cafeteria that served three meals for the outer disciples, Tang Li found that there were already twenty-seven or eight people inside.

There are not many outer disciples of the Seven Peaks Sect, almost just a few, after all, they are too poor to support too many idlers.

Although the outer disciples will also help with chores, the main income is still on those senior brothers and sisters who go out to take tasks to earn some money.

It's a pity that there are not many disciples of the Seven Peaks Sect who can make money, and there are many sects outside, and the competition is fierce, so it has become the current situation.

The food of the outer disciples has always been relatively bad, almost all meals are steamed bread and white porridge with pickles, and today is the same, Tang Li received two steamed buns and a bowl of white porridge.

She had just nibbled on a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, and the little fat man sitting opposite had already swept away the food in his bowl, but he obviously still felt hungry, so he cheekily went to fill another bowl of porridge.

Tang Li handed him another steamed bun: "Give it to you, I'll eat one is enough." ”

She was going to eat one, and then go out later to pick some fruits and herbs to fill her stomach, but now she feels uncomfortable without eating some herbs, and she doesn't know when she will be able to get rid of this strange habit.

After finishing the meal and returning to the herb field, Tang Li pulled the grass for a while, and the small animals she sent before came back one after another to report the results, all saying that they had not found any soul masters surnamed Chen.

She was suddenly depressed, could it be that the soul master was not at this peak? Or did she go out like Shan Quning and them?

Why don't you gather more critters and expand the range and look for them.

"I, I can't pull it out...... the little fat man wiped the sweat on his face, and proposed to go to the tree to rest first, but Tang Li and they couldn't agree, so he hurriedly walked over and lay down directly.

Tang Li didn't feel too tired, thanks to the powerful physical strength of this seventh-order spirit beast, there was almost only watering left anyway.

She found the bucket and prepared to carry water, there was a stream behind the herb field, which was still more convenient.

As a result, the bucket in her hand was directly taken by the hooded boy, who didn't say anything and walked towards the stream with the bucket.

Tang Li: "......"

Which one is this playing?

Could it be that after a night of calm reflection, he felt guilty that he had almost hurt her yesterday?

If he is really apologizing, then she doesn't care, anyway, she has knocked him down before, which is considered to be flat.

When they finished watering, the last rays of the setting sun happened to be buried in the distant mountains, and looking at the new medicinal herb field in front of them, Tang Li felt a sense of accomplishment.

Not long after, Tang Hanzhuo appeared, and he roughly inspected the herb field: "It's okay, you go back to rest first, and gather at the old place tomorrow." ”

"Huh?" the little fat man opened his mouth wide in embarrassment, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, will you continue to pull and pull weeds?"

Tang Hanzhuo glanced at him, and said decently, "Pulling weeds is also a kind of practice", and then said unceremoniously, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." ”

Tang Li: "......"

Most of the seniors who said that sentence just now were fooling him, and then he took it out to fool them.

☆☆☆

Back at the resting place, Tang Li quickly found some small animals and asked them to expand their range to find the soul master surnamed Chen, hoping that this time they would have something to gain.

When night came, she slipped out of the sect and headed for the trial stone steps, just like last night.

As she expected, there was no one tonight.

Looking at the long stone steps in front of her, she took a deep breath and stepped on the stone steps again, this time she must look carefully and collect more clues.

However, her feet stepped on the stone steps for a few moments, but nothing happened.

Tang Li: "???"

What's the situation, could it be that it doesn't work after reading it once?

She didn't give up, she raised her foot and stepped forward again, the aura surrounding the stone steps, every time she stepped on it, the aura was like ripples on the surface of the water, slowly dispersing, hindering her from moving forward.

Tang Li didn't stop, she walked up step by step, I don't know how long she walked, she looked up and found that she had stepped on the last step, but she still didn't see anything.

She sighed gloomily and leaned against the trunk of a tree next to her, slowly adjusting her breathing.

How to say that it is also a stone step refined by the ancestor master of the Seven Peaks Sect, even if she is now a seventh-order spirit beast, she is still a little tired from beginning to end.

Even my stomach was hungry, very, very hungry, I don't know if climbing the stone steps consumed too much physical strength.

However, although he was hungry and tired, Tang Li felt that his condition was unexpectedly good, and if he directly began to absorb the aura, it was estimated that he could get good results.

Until then, it's important to fill your stomach first, just eat supper, no one will see it anyway.

She smelled a familiar fragrance, the fragrance of the young leaves that Xiao Chen often picked for her at the beginning.

Speaking of which, I haven't eaten any more leaves since I took on a human form, and at most I picked some wild fruits, and when I smelled this smell, I was even hungrier.

She got up and looked around, and in a short time she found the tree that gave off its fragrance.

This tree is not tall, Tang Li stood on tiptoe, and easily broke off a small branch, the leaves on it were tender and green, and it was very appetizing to look at.

She pulled a leaf, threw it in her mouth, and as soon as she chewed it, the familiar taste filled her taste buds, crispy and fragrant, with a faint hint of sweetness.

This taste made her think of Xiao Chen, who carefully helped her prepare three meals every day, and a trace of bitterness appeared in her heart.

Where the hell is her little boy now?

Fortunately, it's only about a month away from the conference, and even if you can't find any clues here, you can meet in another month at most.

Tang Li tore off the leaf again and threw it into his mouth, at this time, there was a sudden noise next to him, although it was a very slight sound, but it was particularly obvious in the silent night.

She hurriedly looked in the direction from which the voice had come and saw that the hooded boy had appeared not far away.

He froze in place, his eyes wandering back and forth between the branches in her hands and the leaves in her mouth.

Tang Li: "......"

Why did he bump into him again!

She tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled, trying to make herself look calmer: "What, you may not believe it when you say it, it was the leaves that moved first." ”
