Xiao Jingting took Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong in the direction of the middle-grade field when suddenly an eagle cry came over. 

A giant eagle was hovering in the sky, and Xiao Jingting protected the two children behind him as if he was facing a big enemy.

Under normal circumstances, no demon beast would enter the village. But as Xiao Jingting looked at the giant eagle in the sky, he recognized it at once, that giant eagle was the same one that fought with the python before.

That day, the giant eagle retreated angrily, but today it probably saw him being alone and rushed over to provoke him.

Because this time, Xiao Jingting did not expect to encounter such a tough monster, he didn’t bring his green bamboo swords.

Xiao Jingting waved his hand and spawned two thorn vines that pierced the giant eagle belly. As soon as Xiao Jingting did so, he found that the speed of spawning the thorny vines was two or three times faster than usual. Xiao Jingting calmed down at once, the giant eagle was injured and he had ascended to another level. Without any accident, his chances of winning were great.

Xiao Xiaodong looked nervous as he protected Xiao Xiaofan behind him, watching Xiao Jingting fight with the giant eagle. Xiao Xiaofan blinked his eyes, nervous and curious as he looked at Xiao Jingting.

Xiao Jingting who had calmed down, fought with all his strength. The rain of arrows from all over the sky pierced the giant eagle. The vines on the ground split into two and the latter in four as they pierced straight into giant eagle belly. 

Seeing the arrow on the wing of the giant eagle, Xiao Jingting eyes suddenly lit up. The arrow that Xu Muan shot at the giant eagle last time had not been taken out.

Xiao Jingting commanded the vines to wrap around the arrow on the giant eagle and ruthlessly pulled it out.

The moment the arrow was pulled out, blood spurted out and the giant eagle flight became very unstable.

Taking advantage of its weakness, Xiao Jingting’s attack became more fierce.

The giant eagle screamed, as if it understood that the fight was over. The giant eagle, filled with hatred, pounced in the direction of Xiao Xiaodong behind Xiao Jingting. Xiao Jingting then threw out a rune to block the attack of the giant eagle.

The giant eagle was blown up by Xiao Jingting and he immediately spawned countless vines to wrap around the eagle’s neck, strangling it.

“Well, Dad is really powerful!” Xiao Xiaofan clapped his hands, full of admiration.

Xiao Jingting uneasily made a few cuts on the giant eagle before allowing those vines to disappear.

While Xiao Xiaofan was bouncing and jumping excitedly. Xiao Xiaodong thought of something deeper.

“Father, your strength seemed to have risen!” Xiao Xiaodong tested the waters.

Xiao Jingting smiled and did not say anything, secretly thinking: This little guy Xiao Xiaodong has a delicate heart, but his mind is heavier than an adult’s.

Xiao Jingting put away the giant eagle and said contentedly “I won’t go to the field today. I’ll go to sell the eagle and exchange it for some silver.”

Xu Muan left and there was still a lot of python meat at home, but there were only three mouths in the house, although Xiao Xiaofan was greedy, and had a big appetite, he couldn’t eat much. The eagle meat will not be delicious after some time so he might as well exchange it for some silver.

Although the python skin at home was a little shabby, it should still be able to sell for a few silver.

When Xu Muan left, Xiao Jingting gave Xu Muan all of his family’s money. His pockets were empty so Xiao Jingting was a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Jingting smiled bitterly in his heart. After he came to this world, he always seemed to toss himself into poverty, fortunately this giant eagle was in good shape and he should be able to sell it for more than thirty silver.

Xiao Jingting eyes were casually slanted as he saw the usually cold Xiao Xiaodong look of adoration. Seeing Xiao Jingting’s gaze, he returned to his serious appearance.

Xiao Xiaodong is after all a child, children worship heroes. Just now Xiao Jingting “heroic performance” let Xiao Xiaodong change his view of Xiao Jingting.

Xiao Jingting laughed bitterly in his heart. This awkward child was still so young but was just like a little old man.

Seeing the crisis averted, a few villagers came out and greeted Xiao Jingting. Xiao Jingting had already noticed them when he fought with the giant eagle. When people came out, Xiao Jingting looked just like usual.

A few villagers praised Xiao Jingting, and some of them were sharp-minded enough to inquire about his strength, but Xiao Jingting was vague and exchanged pleasantries with the crowd for a while before he was able to get away.

Qiu family.

“Brother, you said that Xiao Jingting is a level 4 Qi Practitioner?” Qiu Bai asked.

Qiu Li nodded and said “The few villagers who saw Xiao Jingting fight said so. It is also possible that they are mistaken.”

Qiu Bai secretly thought to himself: Although the villagers like to gossip, there are no waves without the wind. It wasn’t impossible to say that Xiao Jingting was really a fourth level Qi Practitioner. A fourth and third level Qi Practitioner were not the same concept. There are several level four spiritual planters in the village. However, they are all old men, how old was Xiao Jingting?

Xiao Jingting was so good at farming at the third level. Now that he was at fourth level, the spiritual plants he will plant could be even more high-end, and he’ll earn more money.

Qiu Bai cursed himself for being blind and not grasping the opportunity. Xiao Jingting was so skillful, it was not impossible that in the future he would advance to the sixth or seventh level.

“Younger brother, Xiao Jingting seems to be very indifferent to you recently.” Qiu Li said.

Qiu Bai bowed his head. Indifferent? He was not even sure if Xiao Jingting indifference to him could even be described with this word.

Qiu Li looked at Qiu Bai and said, “Recently, Xiao Jingting has changed quite a lot. All of those coquettish hooves are ready to make their move. I can see that Xiao Jingting doesn’t simply play hard to get, he seems to be really tired of it. All of those young masters of the big family, only love each other, they are really not good.”

Seeing that Xiao Jingting has developed, Qiu Li occasionally asked Qiu Bai to go ask him for some benefits. However, Xiao Jingting has changed a lot. Sometimes, he would slip away without waiting for Qiu Bai to speak and sometimes, when Qiu Bai opened his mouth, he was excused by Xiao Jingting, or with other remarks, he slipped away.

Qiu Bai returned again and again without any success, which made Qiu Li disappointed with him.
