Chapter 14. Taking care of that young man

After leaving the old woman's shop, Xua Yan strolled down the street, searching for a shop where he could buy herb spices and seasonings. He was on a mission to find ingredients to cook delicious food in the jungle, where he spent much of his time hunting beasts. As he walked down the busy street, a carriage of a wealthy-looking person passed by, reminding Xua Yan of the stark contrast between the haves and have-nots in the city.

Suddenly, Xua Yan heard a loud commotion coming from the side of the road. He quickly turned and saw a young child, no more than 5 to 6 years old, standing in the middle of the street. The child's mother was frantically searching for her daughter, who had wandered away from her side. Just as the mother found her child, she saw her standing in the middle of street and the carriage getting nearer and nearer. She screamed in panic but no one came to help her nor that carriage got stopped. And the Xua Yan saw that a young man from inside the carriage tried to hit the child with his whip.

Without a moment's hesitation, Xua Yan sprang into action, using his lightning-fast reflexes to save the child. He quickly grabbed the child and shielded her from the young man's wrath. And put that child to the rode side where she can finally meet his mother. She was incredibly grateful to Xua Yan. She thanked Xua Yan for his bravery and offered him a reward, which he politely declined. Xua Yan was not interested in rewards or recognition. He had acted on instinct, driven by a sense of justice and compassion for those in need.

Xua Yan, who had just saved a child from the clutches of a dangerous young man, quickly tried to make his way out of the area. However, the young man, furious with Xua Yan for interfering in his plans, ordered his bodyguards to capture Xua Yan. The young man wanted to eliminate him for saving the child.

Xua Yan's ability to adapt to the situation allowed him to stay one step ahead of the young man and his men. He was able to use his surroundings to his advantage, slipping through narrow alleys and hiding behind corners to avoid detection.

Despite the danger, Xua Yan remained focused and determined to escape. He relied on his instincts and knowledge of the city to guide him, constantly adjusting his plan as he encountered new challenges.

After some time, he saw the bodyguards kidnapping a young girl from the street and putting her inside their carriage. Xua Yan knew that he couldn't just stand by and watch as an innocent was taken. He had to act fast to save the girl and put an end to the young man's evil ways.

Xua Yan used his skills to track the young man and discovered where he was staying. He patiently waited for a weakness in their security so that he could assassinate him and save the girl. Xua Yan's years of training as an assassin had taught him the importance of patience and waiting for the right moment to strike. He knew that rushing in recklessly could result in failure and end his life, so he waited for the perfect opportunity.

Xua Yan continued to keep a close eye on the young man, following him and observing his every move. He was driven by a deep anger and determination to bring the young man to justice for his actions. As he watched the young man move about the city and meet with various influential people, Xua Yan began to develop a plan to take him down.

Finally in the evening, Xua Yan's patience paid off as he finally discovered a flaw in the young man's security. The young man was alone in a room where a young girl was kept in a drugged state. Xua Yan knew that this was his chance to take down the young man and put an end to his reign of terror.

With a fierce determination, Xua Yan entered the room silently, moving with the grace of a panther, and approached the young man and confronted him. The young man was caught off guard, and Xua Yan was about to quickly take him down with a swift and deadly strike. But before he could do that the young man falls on the ground without no reason. And when Xua Yan checked his pulse he found out that the man was already dead and soon after that a kind of watery substance started coming from his mouth.

With the young man no longer a threat, Xua Yan turned his attention to the young girl, carefully lifting her up and taking her out of the place.

After successfully leaving the young man's bodyand saving the young girl, Xua Yan didn't stop there. He knew that the young girl was in a drugged state, and he had to act quickly to help her. Xua Yan used his knowledge of acupuncture to remove the poison from her system and revive her. He did this skillfully and stealthily, ensuring that he wouldn't attract any attention from the other people in the building.

Once the young girl was awake and stable, Xua Yan carefully took her out of the building and into a safe place. He knew that the young man had many influential connections in the city and that there could be other people looking for the young girl, so he was very cautious in his movements. Xua Yan made sure that the young girl was safe and secure, and then he made his escape, disappearing into the shadows.

Xua Yan was determined to find what he needed to cook delicious meals in the jungle, and so he took his time to carefully browse the stalls for the herbs, spices, and seasonings he required.

As the sun began to set, Xua Yan knew that it was time for him to start his journey back to his shelter in the jungle. He packed his supplies and made his way out of the city, eager to put his newfound ingredients to the test.

As he walked through the jungle, he could feel the fresh air filling his lungs and the sounds of nature all around him. He was at peace in the wilderness, and he felt a deep connection to the land and the animals that lived there.

Finally, he arrived at his shelter when the sun was about to set, a small but cozy cabin that he had built himself. He lit a fire in the hearth and began to prepare his meal. As he cooked, he thought about the events of the day and how he had saved the child from harm. He was proud of himself for standing up for what was right and he felt a sense of satisfaction that he had made a difference in the world.

With his meal finally complete, Xua Yan sat down to enjoy his delicious creation. He savored each bite, knowing that he had put his heart and soul into every dish. After he eat his fill he, he got inside his shelter lie down on his bed and finally drifted to sleep amidst the sound of crickets and houl of the wild wolfs.

The next day, after waking up, Xua Yan quickly went about checking his traps, only to find that they were all empty. This was a concerning discovery, as it meant that he would have to go hunting in order to secure his food supply. He gathered his hunting equipment and headed out into the jungle, but he was immediately struck by the strange calmness that permeated the forest.

As he walked deeper into the jungle, he suddenly heard the sounds of an intense battle. He cautiously approached the source of the noise and was amazed to see two powerful spirits beasts, each with an energy gathering level of 5, fighting each other. One was an enormous ape-like creature, while the other was a two-tailed, tiger-like beast. The two creatures were locked in a fierce battle, exchanging blows and causing trees to break and splinter all around them.

Xua Yan realized that this was a rare opportunity to observe two such powerful spirits beasts battling it out in the wild. He also knew that if either creature was injured, it would be a valuable source of food for him.

However, as he watched the fight, Xua Yan realized that the danger was not just from the spirits beasts. The destruction they were causing to the forest was immense. Trees were falling and the ground was being torn apart. If he didn't leave the area soon, he could be caught in the crossfire and seriously injured.

Despite this, Xua Yan could not tear himself away from the sight. He was transfixed by the battle and continued to watch in awe as the two creatures fought. Finally, after what seemed like hours, the ape-like creatures finally landed a decisive blow and the other crumpled to the ground, defeated.

Xua Yan realized that the victorious creature would soon turn its attention to him, so he quickly gathered his hunting equipment and started to retreat from the area. He kept a careful eye on the spirits beast as he left, ensuring that it did not follow him.

As Xua Yan was retreating In the Last moment before the ape could celebrate his victory however, in a shocking turn of events, the victorious spirit beast was suddenly taken away by a massive bird-like creature that was nearly 20 feet tall.
