Chapter 77 Apprenticeship
"Where are you going?" The tiger demon's body shook. Zhou Chen could even kill a green snake, so what could a small tiger demon like him do to him?

"Then I'm going to go to the bathroom."

Zhou Chen said coldly, "Hold it back." Hearing Zhou Chen say this, the tiger demon knew that it could not escape this time. Then it opened its mouth and a drop of blood flew out of its mouth and then sank into Zhou Chen's forehead.

As soon as the essence and blood entered Zhou Chen's forehead, Zhou Chen found that there was a subtle connection between himself and the tiger demon, and he could check all the thoughts of the tiger demon at will as long as he wanted. Not only that, he could also easily wipe out this guy as long as he wanted.

As for the tiger demon, after forcing out that drop of essence and blood, its spirit was a little weak, but the impact was not great.

"May I have your name"?
"Master, my name is Xiaohu."

Zhou Chen nodded, then simply processed the green snake's body, removing all the bones and putting only the flesh and blood into the storage bag.

There was no way. The space in the storage bag was limited. If he were to put the whole thing in, the storage bag would not be able to hold it.

After packing up all this, Zhou Chen took Xiaohu back. Xiaohu also used his magical powers to change his body to the same size as a domestic cat, and then jumped onto Zhou Chen's shoulder.

Zhou Chen was also very happy when he saw this, and then on the way back he explained some things to Xiaohu. His task was very simple, which was to protect Zhou Chen's wife Leng Yiyao, and he was not allowed to transform back into his true form and could only stay in front of Leng Yiyao in this form.

There is no need to consider this in a crisis situation. Zhou Chen soon brought Xiaohu back home, and Leng Yiyao had already prepared dinner.

Seeing a kitten lying on Zhou Chen’s shoulder, Leng Yiyao immediately stepped forward and hugged him in her arms, and kept stroking his forehead with her hand.

Xiaohu knew that this was his future master, so he obediently imitated the cat's meow and said, "So cute, Brother Chen, did you buy this?"
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "No, this is the pet I tamed in the mountains. From now on, let him stay by your side to protect you. Don't be fooled by his harmless appearance, he is very powerful."

"Really?" She kept stroking his forehead with her hand.

"Oh, I'm so hungry. Yiyao, is the meal ready?"
"It's ready now, eat quickly."

While eating, Leng Yiyao was reluctant to put Xiaohu down, and would occasionally pick up pieces of meat for him.

The next morning, Zhou Chen got up early to process the snake meat. Leng Yiyao was afraid of snakes so Zhou Chen did not let him process it, but did it himself.

Zhou Chen had already removed the snake bones. After the meat was cooked, Leng Yiyao would not be able to tell the difference unless he said anything, and Zhou Chen would not take the initiative to tell him.

As expected of a seventh-rank monster, Zhou Chen’s strength points increased by 5 after this meal. At this rate, eating three meals a day would mean strength points. Zhou Chen calculated the days in his mind and realized that he would be able to break through to the sixth rank in less than three months.

While Leng Yiyao was cleaning up the dishes, Zhou Chen called Xiaohu over. The tiger demon didn't dare to disobey his order and obediently ran to him and lay down.

Zhou Chen picked him up and put his right hand on his forehead. A demon pattern went down his forehead and penetrated into Xiaohu's body. This demon pattern was obtained by Zhou Chen when he killed the green snake yesterday. It was a mythical demon pattern on his left arm. The strength was increased by 120 and the magical power was the Bilin Poison Mist.

It was not until the demon pattern was engraved on Xiaohu's left arm that ecstasy appeared on Xiaohu's face, "Thank you, Master."

Zhou Chen made a gesture to keep quiet and said in a low voice, "Don't say anything, just keep it to yourself."

Afterwards Zhou Chen let go of Xiaohu and let him leave. Xiaohu's original strength was 800, but the demon pattern increased his strength by 120, so his strength directly broke through 900, and he also gained a magical power.

Xiao Hu couldn't help but come to the outside of the village to try out the power of this magical power. As soon as he thought about it, a large amount of green poisonous fog immediately gushed out around his body. The poisonous fog was very toxic. Although he only released a small amount of power, he could feel that if an ordinary person inhaled this poisonous fog into his body, he would definitely fall to the ground within a second.

At this time, Zhou Chen's voice sounded in his mind, "Come back when you've had enough fun." Xiaohu did not dare to disobey and immediately ran home.

After coming back, Leng Yiyao had already cleaned up the kitchen. As Leng Yiyao waved, Xiaohu jumped directly into his arms.

Zhou Chen shook his head and sat beside the stove drinking tea. Although the weather had become warmer, it was still a little cold, and the people still lit the stove.

When Zhou Chen had nothing to do, he picked up an ordinary bow and arrow and practiced archery in the yard. His archery skills did not improve, and his accuracy was still within the range of seventy meters.

Every arrow Zhou Chen shot hit the bull's eye. Leng Yiyao sat in the yard watching Zhou Chen and clapped her hands, cheering, "Brother Chen is so awesome."

Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at Leng Yiyao, "Yiyao, isn't it time for you to practice with the sword?" Leng Yiyao stuck out his tongue, put Xiaohu down, went back to the room, and took out his short sword Amber.

Zhou Chen picked up a wooden sword and taught him some moves. Leng Yiyao was sweating profusely while practicing, but Zhou Chen was much more relaxed. Xiaohu was crawling on the ground and watching the two of them quietly.

At this moment, Xiaohu suddenly roared towards the outside of the yard. Zhou Chen heard the sound of someone falling outside the yard, so he jumped directly from the yard to the outside. When he came out, he found that it was Gouzi.

"Why are you here?"
"That's me, me." Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Zhou Chen didn't make things difficult for him and said, "Okay, go now."

"Brother Chen, I want to learn skills from you." Zhou Chen didn't look back but said lightly, "I won't accept you, so go away."

After saying that, he closed the gate of the courtyard. After entering, Leng Yiyao asked, "Who is Brother Chen?"
"It's okay, let's continue." In the following days, Zhou Chen would accompany Leng Yiyao to practice swordplay, and Gou Zi would also peek at him outside the yard every day.

At Zhou Chen's instruction, Xiaohu ignored him. At first, Leng Yiyao was busy practicing sword skills and didn't notice him, but he came every day and finally Leng Yiyao discovered his existence.

"Who?" Leng Yiyao discovered Gou Zi peeking outside while she was practicing sword skills. Leng Yiyao threw out Amber directly, and Amber flew out and stuck in the place where he had just peeked.

Gouzi was startled and fell on the ground with a scream. Leng Yiyao immediately opened the door and rushed out. Xiaohu followed her immediately, and Zhou Chen walked out slowly.

Leng Yiyao pointed at the dog sitting on the ground and asked, "Who are you? Why are you hiding outside the yard and spying on something?"
"Sister, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to learn some skills. I didn't mean any harm."

Leng Yiyao looked at Zhou Chen, who shook his head and said, "Why would an ordinary person like you learn martial arts? Learning martial arts requires talent. You don't have the talent, but you won't achieve anything great even if you learn it. Go back."

After saying that, he walked back first. When Gou Zi saw Zhou Chen leaving, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "If you don't accept me, I won't get up."

Leng Yiyao didn't care about him and went back to the house. Gou Zi stood up and walked to the door and continued to kneel.

He knelt for two hours without moving. During this time, Leng Yiyao looked through the crack in the door several times and found that the guy was still there. So she went home and said to Zhou Chen, "Brother Chen, in my opinion, you should accept him."

"He has no talent, and I don't like trouble." Leng Yiyao didn't say anything else after hearing Zhou Chen say that. It was already dark, and the dog outside the door had been kneeling outside for a whole day.
