Chapter 33 Not giving in The veil of the veil made it difficult to see clearly, but despite this, the cow that was vaguely looking back at her made her feel extremely familiar! "big cow?" She called out again uncertainly, this time a little louder than before. The waiter at the beef noodle shop, who had tried his best to pull it away, was now completely helpless. Because just after Zhou Ling shouted the second time, the stubborn bull suddenly shook its head! It shook its head left and right, and the reins broke free from the hands of the noodle shop waiter. The dust was flying all the way, and the yellow cow ran towards Zhou Ling with its hooves waving happily. Tears blurred her vision. Zhou Ling opened her mouth slightly, but could not utter a syllable. She just stretched out her trembling arms and hugged the bull head that was running towards her. “Daniu! Wuuwuwu…Daniu! You are not dead! Daniu, Daniu…” Lifting the veil that blocked her eyes, Zhou Ling's eyes were filled with tears and she spoke incoherently, stroking the horn on the bull's head that was missing a piece over and over again. It’s not dead, it’s not dead! She and her mother had watched helplessly as the cow charged at the black mist-like soul-eating demon in order to buy them time to escape.
The black fog engulfed it, and everything happened so quickly that the mother didn't have time to cast a spell to save it. When they went back to look for the body afterwards, they couldn't even find a bone. The feeling of regaining what she had lost was so joyful that she almost lost her mind. "Little fairy? You... the cow in your hand is a cow that we are going to slaughter soon. It just sneaked out this morning. The business in the store is good and the beef supply is running out. This cow needs to be slaughtered urgently. Otherwise, please let go first?" The guy who had taken great pains to lead the cow all the way ran to Zhou Ling panting. While panting, he did not forget to ask her for the cow in a negotiating tone. There was nothing he could do. He was just a mortal trying to make a living here. He didn't dare to mess with any of these immortal cultivators wearing the robes of the Wandao Sect. “Slaughter…” Zhou Ling’s fists were so clenched that they were shaking, and he could hardly control his anger. "How much can you sell this cow for?" Zhou Ling suppressed his anger, knowing that he should not vent his anger on this mortal guy. The reason why Da Niu escaped death and ended up like this was still unclear. The most urgent task was to redeem him from the beef noodle restaurant. "This... the price of the spirit cattle is not low. I'm afraid I have to ask the shopkeeper before making a decision." It seems that the fairy wants to buy a whole spiritual cow. The young man's heart trembles. Looking at the robes of the young disciple, it seems to be the outer sect's clothing. The price of a spiritual cow is very expensive. What is this outer sect disciple thinking that he wants to buy a spiritual cow? "In that case, then go and see your shopkeeper." Putting down the veil, Zhou Ling took the opportunity to wipe away her tears, then took Daniu's hand and left. "Wait! Little fairy, this big bull is very stubborn. It's hard to pull him away. Let me do it... Come on... Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." The noodle shop waiter had good intentions, but when he saw the old cow obediently following the little girl, his eyes widened and his kindness was shattered. Damn it! Even the cow bullied him. Isn't that bullying an honest man? He couldn't lead it away no matter what he did. But when the girl held it, the rope was loose! It took the initiative to follow her. It should have some shame! Zhou Ling had no idea what the boy behind him was thinking. After walking a few steps with the big cow, he suddenly came to his senses and turned to look at the boy. "You just said 'spiritual cow', what does that mean?" With the word 'spiritual' in front of the cow, it feels like it is not an ordinary creature. "Huh?" The boy didn't react. What does the term "spiritual cow" mean? "Ah, spiritual cattle are a kind of cattle in the world of cultivation. They are considered a kind of spiritual beast, but their rank is relatively low. Most of them are sold to mortals to transport goods, or slaughtered in the kitchens of the world of cultivation to be made into spiritual food." After all, he had been in the world of immortal cultivation for so many years, and his instinct for survival had trained his body to react faster than his brain. He would answer whatever the immortals asked him to do, and he would do whatever they asked him to do. If he was lucky, he could earn a few low-grade spirit stones, which he could exchange for gold and silver, so that his family would have enough to eat for the whole year.
"Thank you." Seeing that he answered in detail, Zhou Ling didn't want to ask in vain. Knowing the rules of asking questions here, he took out two low-grade spirit stones from the storage bracelet and handed them to him. The young man's eyes widened again, and he quickly bowed to thank him and took it with both hands. I met a rich man today! He gave me two low-grade spirit stones at once. Although she is young, she is a rich lady! I have to serve her well! The timid young man, after receiving the spirit stone, seemed to be refueled, radiant and full of energy. Especially when they led the cow into the busy street, he was the first to rush in front of the crowd, asking people to come and go, and clearing a smooth path for Zhou Ling who was leading the cow behind him. After entering the market, Zhou Ling quickly spotted his mother and waved at her while standing on tiptoe. When Zhou Li saw the cow in his daughter's hand, he was stunned. "Roasted beef?" She reached out and poked the broken horn on the bull's head, and a look of joy gradually appeared on her face. "It's good that it's not dead." She was really surprised. She had rescued this cow when it was still a calf and had raised it ever since. She had raised it from childhood to adulthood and had developed a bond with it, but it still couldn't avoid death at the mouth of the demon. I didn't expect that it was swallowed up, but it could still appear here alive. It's amazing. "If we hadn't happened to be out shopping today and hadn't run into it, it would have died. Yes, when I ran into the big bull, this guy was going to take him to the kitchen to slaughter him and make beef noodles." Even thinking about it makes me scared, but fortunately everything happened by coincidence, and the lost bull was recovered without missing out on them. “Buy it back!” "I'm just about to buy it." Zhou Ling had just nodded when a man wearing the same clothes as the noodle shop waiter next to him ran over. "Wang Er! What took you so long? Where's the cow? It's waiting for you in the kitchen!" The noodle chef waited and waited but the cow did not appear, so the shopkeeper asked him to urge it. When he ran over to look, the cow in Wang Er's hand was nowhere to be seen. He was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat. The owner and manager of their noodle shop are both immortals in the world of cultivation. If the business is delayed because of the cow issue, it will be difficult for the manager to deal with them, which is as easy as crushing an ant. “I bought the cow.” Fortunately, the noodle shop was just a few steps ahead, so Zhou Ling didn't have to argue with them. She and her mother led the cow and walked into the noodle shop in a few steps. It’s a pity...the transaction didn’t go smoothly. "I can afford to delay the business, but the cow cannot be slaughtered." Zhou Ling stood in front of the cow and refused to give way. "Little girl, this is not just about money, this is also about the reputation of my noodle shop. Since we are from the same school, I won't blame you for disrupting the business. Put down the cow and go back by yourself." (End of this chapter)
