Overnight, his strength had greatly improved. What other explanation could there be? Simple cultivation was absolutely impossible. The only explanation was that he had obtained some kind of rare treasure or miraculous elixir.
And the only thing that could make them think of was that golden little pig. Yesterday, Shen Tong had explained to Su Hang that the golden little pig had been raised by Emei for sixty years, nurtured with countless miraculous elixirs. Just the blood alone could greatly enhance one's strength.
Now, Su Hang's strength had indeed greatly improved, which made them suspect that Su Hang had taken advantage of their rest last night to slaughter the golden little pig.
A very likely possibility!
If that were true, Su Hang's intentions were truly despicable, and his character was extremely bad!
Huang Qimeng had a short temper and couldn't hide her thoughts. In a fit of anger, she directly rushed into the forest, and Shen Tong couldn't stop her.
"Su Hang!" Huang Qimeng shouted loudly.
This instantly woke up Su Hang and the others.
Opening his eyes, he saw Huang Qimeng and Shen Tong, and Huang Qimeng's aggressive and accusatory demeanor. Su Hang was immediately puzzled.
"Ladies, don't you know that one shouldn't disturb someone while they are practicing?" Su Hang patted his buttocks and stood up, somewhat displeased.
Huang Qimeng didn't care about disturbing him. She directly asked, "Tell the truth, did you kill the pig?"
"Huh?" Su Xi turned to look at Su Hang, her face full of confusion.
Su Hang furrowed his brows.
"Ridiculous, Su Xi, let's go." Su Hang didn't bother to deal with her; this girl's personality was sometimes truly annoying.
He had only taken a few steps when Shen Tong stopped him. Looking at Shen Tong's beautiful face, Su Hang's face was even more beautiful, "What's the meaning of this?"
Shen Tong's attitude was much more gentle. Hearing Su Hang's question, she didn't back down, "Su Hang, this matter involves the golden beast. This creature is very important to us Emei. So, I'm sorry, but I feel that your strength has improved significantly overnight, and it's necessary to suspect whether it has anything to do with the golden beast!"
So it's about this, Su Hang thought, and he laughed, "So you suspect that I killed the golden beast?"
"Isn't that the case?" Huang Qimeng stood behind, seething with anger.
Su Hang turned around and looked at Huang Qimeng, "If not, then what?"
"What do you want?"
Huang Qimeng seemed to be scared by Su Hang and took a step back, her face slightly changing, but she still held her head high and confronted Su Hang. In her dictionary, losing anything was better than losing momentum.
Su Hang smiled, "I can show you. If that little thing is still alive, then please leave my home immediately, and go back where you came from."
"No!" Shen Tong immediately interrupted, "We are tasked by our master to find the golden beast..."
"You have already found it." Su Hang rudely interrupted Shen Tong, "Your master only asked you to find it, not to take it back, right? Besides, that little pig is now my property. You can't take it back."
"You..." Huang Qimeng stomped her foot in anger, truly infuriated by Su Hang. She had never met such a person in her life.
Shen Tong looked at Su Hang calmly, "Su Hang, please show us the golden beast. Don't worry, we just want to confirm its safety; we won't try to take it."
Su Hang couldn't help but laugh. Do you dare to take it? Even if you have the intention, do you have the ability? Today's Su Hang is not yesterday's Su Hang. Even yesterday's Su Hang might not have been a match for these two.
"You suspect me, which makes me very uncomfortable. I can show you, but you have to pay a viewing fee." Su Hang said directly, with a defiant attitude.
"Senior Sister, this guy is really asking for a beating." Huang Qimeng couldn't stand it anymore. If she didn't know she couldn't beat Su Hang, she would have already attacked him.
Shen Tong waved her hand to stop Huang Qimeng and said to Su Hang, "My junior sister and I left in a hurry and didn't bring any good things..."
"I think that white dog is nice. Give it to my sister as a pet." Su Hang suggested.
"Nice try, don't even think about it." Huang Qimeng was furious.
Su Hang shrugged, "Consider it never said."
Shen Tong paused and said, "I only have two pills with me. They are our Emei Sect's unique body-refining pills, which are very helpful for refining the body."
As she spoke, Shen Tong took a small bottle out of her pocket. Without further ado, it contained the body-refining pills she mentioned.
Su Hang glanced at it and waved his hand, "I dare not accept such things. Who knows if they are miraculous elixirs or poisons? If I take one and die, who will I complain to?"
One must be cautious, even if this woman praised the pills highly, Su Hang didn't dare to accept them. He wasn't familiar with these two women, and they were after the golden beast. Although they looked kind, who knew if they would give him poison?
Once he was poisoned, they could easily take the golden beast and leave. Such things were not unheard of.
"You don't appreciate good intentions." Huang Qimeng sneered from the side.
Shen Tong reluctantly put the pill bottle away, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to look at Huang Qimeng. Huang Qimeng pouted in a huff and unwillingly took a box out of her sleeve.
A light green wooden box, ordinary and plain.
Shen Tong took the box and opened it. Inside lay a long-bearded ginseng, about the thickness of a thumb, as if it had just been dug out of the ground, with a bit of soil still on it.
"This ginseng, though not very valuable, has been growing for seven or eight years. It is a great tonic and can also help with strength." Shen Tong handed the box containing the ginseng to Su Hang.
Su Hang hesitated for a moment, then casually took it, barely glancing at it before putting it away.
"You've taken the item, now show us the little pig." Huang Qimeng urged from the side. If anything happened to the golden little pig, she would make this guy spit out everything he had eaten.
Su Xi stepped forward, "Brother, just show them."
In Su Xi's view, these two sisters were quite pitiful.
"Considering my sister, I'll show you."
Su Hang said and took out the Sima cylinder, which had shrunk to the size of a bowl, and held it in one hand.
Shen Tong and the other girl immediately leaned in to look inside the cylinder and immediately felt relieved.
The golden little pig was still jumping around in the cylinder, with no wounds on its body, and it didn't look like it had lost any flesh or blood as they had imagined.
"How about it? Feel better now?" Su Hang asked.
The two girls exchanged glances, both looking a bit embarrassed. They had overthought it.
