Chapter 17: She Wasn’t A Summoner

After Xiao Muling finished speaking, Xiao Jian looked at the huge wolf and swallowed his saliva with difficulty; his legs were trembling.

Hearing the beast’s roar, the other two people got up immediately. They ignored the pain on their bodies and walked behind Xiao Jian.

“Attack!” Xiao Muling ordered, her cold voice spreading to every corner of the courtyard!

Since it was summoned by her, it would listen to her orders.

The giant wolf leaped up and flew toward them!

When Xiao Jian and the others saw the giant wolf flying toward them, they turned around and ran away!

The huge wolf flew past and landed in front of them, blocking their way as it stared at them fiercely.

The wolf was about ten feet in height, and there was no emotion or warmth in its eyes. Instead, there was only cruelty and bloodlust.

The three of them panicked when they saw how easily it blocked their way.

“Xiao Jian, you went out to train before. What should we do now?” asked the person beside him, his lips trembling.

“I’ve never faced a magical beast alone!” Everyone had attacked together, unlike now!”

“Then, we should quickly think of a way!”

‘Are we standing here to die?’

Roar!

The huge wolf growled and pounced at them.

The three of them retreated in panic and quickly fled in three different directions.

The giant wolf directly threw one of them to the ground. Its two sharp claws rose and swung down, landing on his chest!

That person fell to the ground and vomited blood, his face full of pain!

A human without any battle experience was nothing to the giant wolf!

When Xiao Jian and the other person saw this scene, their bodies trembled, and they immediately ran toward the courtyard’s exit.

The invisible energy in Xiao Muling’s hand condensed.

Nobody could see the condensation of this energy; only Xiao Muling could feel it in her hand.

With a wave of her arm, the energy shot out and landed on that person. At the same time, the giant wolf flew toward Xiao Jian!

Both of them fell to the ground at the same time. The pain from the impact almost made them faint.

Xiao Jian’s hand was still injured. The moment he fell to the ground, he shouted.

The huge wolf swung its tail and landed on the person while its claws landed on Xiao Jian’s body, attacking both together!

When they saw the attack coming down, they panicked and rolled over to avoid it.

At this moment, Xiao Muling’s energy gathered and attacked them. They avoided the giant wolf’s attack, but they couldn’t avoid Xiao Muling’s attack.

Pa!

When the attack landed on their bodies, a few bloodstains immediately appeared!

The three of them screamed and rolled across the ground, trying to avoid the whip’s force!

Usually, when Xiao Muling was being bullied, the people outside would naturally ignore this place. Therefore, nobody paid attention to the huge commotion here.

Xiao Jian and the other two rolled on the ground in a panic. They still didn’t know that the attacking power on them came from Xiao Muling.

In just a short while, the three of them were already covered in blood!

The three of them shouted and screamed in the courtyard—it was extremely tragic!

Xiao Muling waved the condensed energy and looked at the trio covered in wounds.

Her attacks—combined with the giant wolf’s claw marks—made it impossible to tell how they were injured.

Seeing the extent of their injuries, Xiao Muling sneered and withdrew her strength.

The three of them could feel that they were starting to have a chance to catch their breath. It wasn’t like just now, where they could only take a beating.

Light flashed past their eyes. ‘If there’s a chance, escape!’

Xiao Jian looked at the claw marks that flew over and immediately manifested his Spirit Martial Art to block them!

Bang!

He used his arms to block the descending claw, and the pain from his wounds tore through his body as he gritted his teeth.

“Let’s go!” Xiao Jin pushed with all his might, dispersing all the power that headed toward him; then, he scrambled out.

‘Xiao Muling is crazy! She’s crazy!’

The two people beside him realized something and quickly followed his movements.

The giant wolf was about to give chase when a voice came from behind. “Enough.”

The giant wolf stopped and turned around. Its golden eyes watched Xiao Muling, showing some confusion. ‘This human doesn’t have any Spirit Qi and isn’t even a Spirit Martial Artist. How did she summon me?’

Xiao Muling watched as they scrambled away. She gathered her strength and reached them in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing Xiao Muling suddenly appear, Xiao Jian’s body trembled!

Xiao Muling looked down at him and said, “If you come again, I’ll kill you.”

Her casual words were bone-chilling.

The trio looked at Xiao Muling in horror, quickly went around her, and crawled out of the yard.

After they left, the coldness in Xiao Muling’s eyes gradually dissipated. ‘Killing them now will only bring trouble to me. Just now, because of the death of a maidservant, I made those old men unhappy. If I kill the three of them, those old men won’t rest. If I want them to die, I should make sure that nobody can find any traces of them.’

“You can’t speak human words?” She met the wolf’s gaze.

It nodded hesitantly, still a bit unwilling.

Xiao Muling sized it up and asked, “Did I summon you?”

The huge wolf was clearly even more unwilling to answer, but it still nodded. After all, it had indeed come here because of her. ‘But she is clearly not a Summoner. How can a person—who doesn’t even have Spirit Qi—summon me?’

Xiao Muling nodded and was very puzzled. ‘I have yet to start practicing summoning, so how did I summon it? Also, how did I summon that Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox?’

However, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox was much more powerful than this wolf beast. Xiao Muling remembered that the sky was filled with the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox’s massive figure.

Now that she thought about it, she truly felt as if a king had descended upon the world the moment the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox appeared.

“What are you going to do next?” Xiao Muling regained her senses and coughed lightly. She hadn’t read any books about summoning yet, so she didn’t know what to do next.

The wolf was a magical beast. After it was summoned, should it be sent away or left behind?

When the giant wolf heard this, it had the urge to vomit blood. ‘Just how did she summon me!?’

At this moment, the array formation under Xiao Muling’s feet was activated again.

The same array formation appeared behind the magical beast.

Xiao Muling looked at the array behind the magical beast and nodded in understanding. ‘It turns out that I have to manifest a summoning array to send away the summoned magical beast.’

The giant wolf’s golden eyes were filled with shock at the sight of the spell formation. ‘Summoning array! She is indeed a Summoner, but clearly…’

Its figure became transparent, and it disappeared from the courtyard with a shocked expression.

After the giant wolf left, everything returned to normal.

Xiao Muling looked at the place where the giant wolf disappeared and clicked her tongue. “Summoning… isn’t that difficult.”

If anyone else heard her words, they would definitely be angered to death.

Xiao Canglan was the only Summoner in the huge Xiao family. Did she not know that there were only a few Summoners in such a big country?

Summoners were like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. There were pitifully few of them in this world!

‘Isn’t difficult!?’ This wasn’t difficult?

If someone knew that Xiao Muling hadn’t started to practice summoning skills but had summoned a magical beast like this, they would definitely be horrified!

She could already achieve such feats before she even started to learn and cultivate. Who would dare imagine just what else she could accomplish after actually learning and cultivating?
