What kind of girl would travel to another world?

Chapter 18: Will there be any domestication in the other world?

The previous chapter mentioned that on the same day that You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi were fighting the Deinonychus, Qi Xinyang also encountered some trouble during his long journey.

Sparks flew! Just as Qi Xinyang fired an arrow at something invisible, the horse was startled by the sudden metal-on-metal sound, rearing up its front legs and neighing loudly toward the sky. Seeing the horse startled, Little Foot quickly went over to grab and comfort the frightened animal.

Qi Xinyang determined from the direction of the wind and the sound of the heartbeat that the invisible being hadn't left, but was moving back toward her. She quickly fired several more arrows in the direction of the heartbeat. Although none of them hit her, she could hear the heartbeat accelerating in frequency and becoming louder.

Finally, she drew her bow and stopped shooting, instead directing the arrow in the direction of the heartbeat. Whenever the heartbeat approached within ten steps, she could hear its exact location and aim directly and precisely at the beating heart. Later, the heartbeat remained at a distance of ten steps, not daring to move forward.

Qi Xinyang guessed that the invisible thing must have been shaken at this moment, and then she said a few bluffing words slowly and calmly, "Aren't you going to come out? How long are you going to hide? I'm going to be serious! If I'm serious, you'll be in trouble!" She thought that the other party would definitely not be able to hold on and would collapse, so she kept provoking him with words.

Qi Xinyang understood that even if those who couldn't see could disguise themselves, hold their breath, eliminate their scent, or even become transparent, they couldn't stop their heartbeats. If a living thing stopped beating, it would become dead.

Xiaojiao also faced the direction where Qi Xinyang was pulling the bow, and cooperated and shouted: "If my big sister is serious, you will be a corpse!" He only saw sparks flying, and didn't understand what happened at first. It was not until Qi Xinyang spoke that he came to his senses and realized that Qi Xinyang was fighting with something invisible.

I only heard a voice saying hurriedly: "I surrender! Don't kill me!"

Qi Xinyang and Xiaojiao were both surprised that the invisible thing was actually a person! They looked at each other and then pretended to be calm.

Qi Xinyang saw a human figure gradually appear in the direction of the heartbeat, until a figure appeared, half-kneeling on the ground. It was a half-demon boy. She said calmly, "Young man, you have no martial ethics." Then she pointed at the boy and shouted angrily, "Come to cheat! Come to attack!"

The little boy was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I confess! Please let me go!" The blades of the two daggers he placed on the ground were cracked.

Qi Xinyang began to imitate the tone of a character in a movie or TV series, saying, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

The little boy said weakly, "You can just use the identification on me."

Qi Xinyang said: "Bound feet. I'll examine them!"

Little Foot nodded in response, "Yes! Big Sister!" He took out his Identification Eye and shone it on the little boy, reciting, "Race: Half-Demon, Name: Yuko Deshedeo Fireland, Identification: Murderer, Skills: Dagger Basics, Disguise Mastery, Teleport Basics, Extra: Double Dagger Bonus, Additional: Fire Affinity, Fire Blessing." Then he said, "Wow! This Identification Eye is really high-end, it can see both the extras and additional features!"

The little boy You Ke, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned and thought to himself, "This is cheating! How can he identify this magic device when only I can see it? I'm going to lose a lot this time!" He didn't know that the identification technique is divided into levels. The skilled level can see less, and the proficient level can see more.

Qi Xinyang said to Xiaojiao, "Of course! Don't you think about how expensive it is to recharge that thing? You can only find those who have reached the mastery level of holy magic to recharge it. There are only a few people in the world who have reached the mastery level of holy magic. Don't use it when you are not allowed to!" After that, she turned around and said to You Ke who was kneeling on the ground, "You are half-demon, so you must be a fire worshiper. Even without identification, you can guess that there are 'fire element blessing' and 'fire element affinity'. On the contrary, this 'double dagger bonus' is interesting, but judging from your appearance, you probably haven't practiced daggers much, and your daggers are only at the entry level." Her tone sounded like sarcasm.

Regarding elemental worship, Qi Xinyang, after receiving the blessing of wind, began to research elemental blessings and elemental affinities. The Highmen all have an innate affinity for water, the Dwarves for earth, and the Half-Demons for fire. Half-Demons, naturally endowed with a fire affinity, are resistant to fire damage, making them highly resistant to high temperatures and fearless of fire. Furthermore, since they all worship fire, they favor careers related to fire.

Little Foot added, "This 'Murderer' is also a rare identification. I've never heard of it before. I have heard of the 'Assassin' identification, though."

Qi Xinyang said: "'Demon' and 'human-demon' are quite a pairing..."

You Ke suddenly said angrily: "You can kill me or chop me up as you please! There is no need to humiliate me like this!" The half-demons have always been very angry about the discrimination against them and not being treated as normal human beings. It can be said that this has touched their sore spot.

Qi Xinyang said in surprise, "There's no humiliation." Then she threw the bow in her hand to Xiaojiao and said calmly, "If you want to be respected, then be as strong as me!" Then she gestured to Xiaojiao to lend her the dagger at her waist. Xiaojiao was stunned for a long time before she understood what she meant. She immediately grasped the scabbard and handed it over.

Qi Xinyang pulled the dagger from Xiaojiao's hand, held it sideways, and shouted at You Ke, "Stand up with your weapons! If you want respect, earn it yourself!"

Seeing her abandon her bow and use a sword, You Ke immediately picked up two daggers and flew towards Qi Xinyang with anger. In the middle of the attack, she teleported and dodged to the side and attacked Qi Xinyang's right rib. If it were someone else, they would probably not be able to escape this serious injury, but Qi Xinyang had thought of this possibility when he knew he could "teleport" and had prepared in advance. She immediately turned her wrist and switched from a straight grip to a reverse grip, and stabbed diagonally to the side. Seeing that the sword was about to pierce You Ke's face, You Ke reacted quickly. Seeing this, he immediately crossed the two daggers in front of him and blocked the stabbing sword in time. With a crisp "clang!", You Ke fell backwards. The blades of the two daggers in his hands broke at the same time, leaving only the two handles.

At this moment, Qi Xinyang had already switched from a reverse grip to a pronated grip, with the tip of the sword pressed against You Ke's face. She said, "I know what you're going to say next. But first, I have no skill with a dagger."

After hearing this, You Ke showed an expression of disbelief on his face and shouted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Qi Xinyang pointed at the small feet and said to You Ke, "The one who has the dagger skill is the one next to me, and he is a living example. He is just like you, with entry-level skills, but because he neglected to practice and made no progress, he was ridiculed, mocked, and even insulted by everyone! No one is ashamed to associate with him, and only a kind-hearted person like me can accept him magnanimously. And he can only be a porter until now, which is really heartbreaking!" She gestured while speaking, and finally pretended to beat her chest.

Xiaojiao was speechless, thinking, "Is this necessary? Forget about him, but why bring me along? I taught you how to switch between overhand and underhand grips. And when you use the dagger presented to the palace against a broken dagger, it's obvious the dagger will win."

You Ke slumped on the ground, his eyes dull, and didn't speak for a long time.

Qi Xinyang said: "I have said so much just to tell you. No matter how powerful your fighting skills are, they are useless if you don't practice them. If you hesitate, you will be defeated. If you are decisive, you will still lose! That's all I have to say. I advise this young man to be careful and reflect on himself!" After she finished speaking, she first pointed the sword downwards, then threw the dagger back to Xiaojiao, who immediately put the dagger back into the scabbard after receiving it.

Qi Xinyang also sat on the ground and said, "Tell me. Why?"

You Ke's eyes were dull as he took out the secret letter and muttered to himself, "Everyone is right. I am a waste and useless."

Xiaojiao took the secret letter from You Ke and handed it to Qi Xinyang. Qi Xinyang then glared at Xiaojiao with a vicious look. Xiaojiao understood and immediately took the secret letter back from Qi Xinyang. Qi Xinyang cursed viciously in his heart, "How can I understand what is written here? You have no sense. If you do this again, I will beat you." Xiaojiao looked at Qi Xinyang's "vicious" eyes and felt a chill in his heart.

Little Foot coughed and began to read the contents of the secret letter: "Our God has commanded you to send your cult members to retrieve the five artifacts dropped by our God. The target of this artifact theft is currently traveling from the Kingdom of Styras Odin to the Dwarven Kingdom. No one should be spared; intercept and kill them immediately!" Target Description: Tall Human female, short stature. Name: Qi Xinyang.

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang said, "How can you treat a sixteen-year-old like this? This is not okay." Then she thought to herself, "Oh no! I forgot to add 'heroic and heroic'."

Little Foot said, "Big Sister, could the five artifacts mentioned in this secret letter be the five mysterious objects from the dungeon that you took? It seems they are most likely coming for the mysterious objects in the dungeon, but you gave them all to the king."

Qi Xinyang suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait, what does this secret letter say about me? I'm short!?" After she said that, a strong murderous aura began to emanate from her.

Xiaojiao suddenly felt the surrounding temperature was a bit chilly. You Ke also suddenly recovered from her mumbling but was too frightened to speak. Xiaojiao said, "So this is Big Sister's weakness? But Big Sister looks quite tall." Xiaojiao was a dwarf, so she didn't think Qi Xinyang was short. Qi Xinyang was estimated to be about 1.55 to 1.58 meters tall, but compared to other tall people in the other world, he was indeed not up to average.

After a while, Qi Xinyang walked up to You Ke, who was looking down, and asked with a smile, "Where is your branch?"

You Ke shook his head frantically in fear and said, "It has nothing to do with me. I'm not from their sect!"

Qi Xinyang then asked, "Who gave you this secret letter?"

You Ke immediately said, "They are at the border. I'll take you there! We'll be there in five days."

Qi Xinyang then imitated the tone of some villains in movies and TV dramas and said, "You monster! He who knows the current situation is a hero! Lead the way!"

"Big sister," Little Foot asked, "what is 'Yaoxi'?"

Qi Xinyang said, "Don't worry about it. With this guide to help us, let's go and deal with that 'branch sect' first." After saying that, she suddenly remembered that she had a map and said, "Little Foot! Take out the map!"

Little Foot immediately pulled the large map from her bag and spread it out on the ground.

Qi Xinyang smiled and asked You Ke, "Kid, where is the branch? Can you point it out to me?"

Yu Ke pointed to a point on the map and said tremblingly, "It's... right there."

Qi Xinyang withdrew his smile and said angrily, "You're not being honest, are you? How can it take five days to get from here to there?"

You Ke argued, "We have to take a detour, we can't go in a straight line."

Qi Xinyang asked in confusion: "Why take a detour? Why not go straight?"

You Ke explained, "If we go in a straight line, we'll pass several half-demon tribes, and there will be many bandits there. In the best case, you'll pay a toll, but in the worst case, you'll be robbed and left with nothing."

Qi Xinyang looked up and asked doubtfully, "Are you talking about a tribe? It sounds like a copycat to me." Then she added, "Are all half-demons like this?"

Yu Ke said aggrievedly, "It's only the wild tribes on the border that are like this. They're only a minority. The good people have all fled to the cities and towns of other countries. We have good people too. A small country in the north has many half-demons joining the army. Most of us half-demons are in that country."
