Xing Yuan nodded as if she understood, and while chatting happily with these unfamiliar beasts, Xing Yue, who had been in seclusion for three months to consolidate her cultivation, emerged.
Almost instinctively, Xing Yue scanned the peak with her divine sense. Huh? These buildings were all intact? No, where was the cub she raised? Why was it gone?
Xing Yue's brows furrowed tightly. A rare trace of worry appeared on her exquisite face beneath the veil, making one wish to smooth away all her sorrow.
Xing Yue expanded the range of her divine sense search and finally sensed the aura of the cub she had raised for over a year in the back mountain.
Secretly relieved, Bai He felt a figure flash past. By the time he came to his senses, he could no longer feel that person's aura at all.
Xing Yue grabbed Xing Yuan, who was engrossed in listening to stories, and said softly, "Was it good?"
Xing Yuan nodded repeatedly, completely oblivious to the fact that the beast telling the story had gone rigid all over.
She realized and said ingratiatingly, "Sister, I was wrong, let me down!"
Her soft tone carried a girl's unique timbre. It was the first time Xing Yue had heard the cub she had raised for so long speak. She was momentarily dazed, and Xing Yuan seized the opportunity to jump down and run into the distance.
What a joke! After being raised for so long, how could she not understand her sister's personality? If she was caught, it would be back to cultivation. If not now, when?
She liked her sister, but that didn't mean she liked cultivating!
Xing Yue chuckled in annoyance. With a light lift of her delicate hand, a barrier quickly formed around them.
With a "thump," Xing Yuan covered her head with her paws, her eyes red, and accused Xing Yue of heartlessness with her gaze.
"Alright, now be good and come back with me!" Xing Yue's mood instantly improved. While picking up Xing Yuan and using spiritual energy to heal her bruised forehead, she turned and walked outside.
"Wait, I want to say goodbye to my new friends." Xing Yuan, her injury healed, regained her assertiveness.
"Okay! I didn't expect our A Yuan to be so popular! I was only in seclusion for a few days and you've already made good friends," Xing Yue said softly, with a hint of jealousy that was difficult to detect.
"Of course, I'm so beautiful and so cute," Xing Yuan said proudly, completely unaware of the danger.
"Little Snake, Little Tiger, Little Bird, I'll come see you again in a while. I'm going home now, goodbye!" Xing Yuan waved goodbye to her friends, her expression reluctant.
The spiritual beasts in the back mountain were almost in tears. If she didn't leave, they wouldn't be able to make up any more stories for this fellow. But if they didn't tell her stories, she, she... would fight them!
To avoid suffering, they had taken turns telling her stories.
The spiritual beasts waved their little handkerchiefs to bid her farewell. Those who had previously disliked each other were now unusually united in their opinion, with only one thought in their minds: "Farewell! Please, do not come back again."
"Sister, do you think my new friends will miss me? Look, they're crying with sadness," Xing Yuan asked, lying in Xing Yue's arms and tilting her small head up.
Xing Yue, with her sensitive divine sense: her mood was complex. It seemed the cub she raised was a bit simple-minded. They were clearly crying tears of joy, and she didn't know what this one had been doing during this time.
Bai He finally saw the culprit emerge, but upon seeing Xing Yue, he immediately bowed his head respectfully. What a joke, could he not recognize the number one genius of the Tianya Sect? It seemed he wouldn't be able to get his revenge.
Xing Yuan wagged her tail triumphantly, which looked exceptionally annoying to Bai He. However, her background was a bit too strong, and he couldn't compete.
Xing Yue watched the silent gaze battle between the two little ones expressionlessly, almost unconsciously indulging Xing Yuan's spoiled behavior. With her protection, in most parts of the Tianya Sect, she could still act with impunity.
However, indulgence was indulgence, and Xing Yue did not hesitate when it was time to act. The cultivation world had always been about survival of the fittest. One day, the little beast would grow up and have her own life, and she couldn't guarantee she could protect her forever.
After breaking through to the Heavenly realm, Xing Yue relaxed considerably and had the inclination to play.
Xing Yue was not from this world, or rather, not entirely. At the age of five, she awakened so-called memories from another world, so no one knew better than her the importance of cultivation. Having seen many people kill without batting an eye, she didn't want to become cannon fodder due to her weakness one day.
However, since there wasn't much fun on Ruoyue Peak, Xing Yue didn't want to go into seclusion again for the time being. She simply held Xing Yuan and went down the mountain.
Xing Yuan blinked curiously, her eyes dazzled by the rich scenery outside.
Xing Yue gently squeezed her little paw and said softly, "A Yuan, do you like it here?"
Xing Yuan was a child who hadn't been born for long. Although she had some consciousness in her shell, she couldn't see outside. Seeing such a prosperous scene for the first time, she replied excitedly, "Yes!"
Xing Yue also thought it was not bad here, but unfortunately...
"Senior Sister, you're going down the mountain? I just made a few defensive magical artifacts, do you want to buy some to take back?" a junior disciple greeted enthusiastically.
"Senior Sister, don't listen to him. The magical artifacts he refines are of very poor quality and break after a few hits. Look at my pills, they're for beauty and radiance. Although Senior Sister doesn't need them much, these pills are also somewhat effective for healing injuries," a junior sister said, shamelessly undermining him and starting to recommend her own goods.
"Yuan Leng, are you doing this on purpose? You're always like this. What's your cultivation level? You deliberately smash my defensive magical artifacts to ruin my reputation," Yan Qi said, jumping with anger.
"If you have the guts, let's have a one-on-one fight!" Could Yuan Leng back down? Absolutely not. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Seeing them affecting other disciples around them, who were shouting "Senior Sister" while looking at their fellow disciples with hatred, and eager to fight.
Xing Yue decisively left a message for her master and then fled with Xing Yuan. The foot of the Tianya Sect mountain was basically filled with fellow disciples. Once one person knew, the entire sect would know.
Among these people were many battle enthusiasts. If she didn't leave soon, she might not be able to escape easily.
Once again on the flying sword, Xing Yuan was full of excitement, her claws tightly gripping Xing Yue's sleeve, constantly craning her neck to look down.
Xing Yue was somewhat surprised. She then looked at the thin wings behind Xing Yuan, the same color as her fur. She almost forgot, she also had wings. When her realm was higher, she would also be able to fly.
She slowed down her speed and entered an ordinary human city a few days later.
Although this time it was nominally for training, it was mainly for relaxation and rest.
Otherwise, with her personality, training would involve either seeking out secret realms or dangerous places, or challenging disciples from other sects. Cultivation also required a balance of work and rest.
Xing Yue thought logically and shamelessly slacked off. ( *＾ワ＾* )
