come back for a rest at night. His playful gaze made my face flush and my heart race.My dad probably can't see him, but he can feel his presence. That old geezer is always giving me the side-eye."......Those ancient books and biographies of immortals often mention that immortals can transform into countless shapes, moving freely between large and small forms.

The divine beast seemed to behave in this way as well. The lynx named Xiao Nie moved with the wind, becoming like a gigantic tiger, then shook its fur, motioning for us to climb up.

I have thick skin, and I was about to boldly step over, when I felt the hem of my shirt being grabbed.

Looking back, You Nan, the little ancestor, had a cold face. One small hand clutched my robe, and her delicately carved little face gradually morphed into a pouted, bun-like one.

"...Lift me up," he choked out.

Uh

I was stunned, didn't you just jump off of me a moment ago I thought you didn't need to be held!

A child of three years old, even if their mind is like that of a 3,000-year-old expert, but looking at these short, chubby arms and legs, I...

“Hahaha, beg me, beg me and I'll carry you up!” I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

You Nan's face darkened, and she let out a cold snort. "Be careful, I'll tell Senior Brother Mu that you are lawless."

"Just say it then, I'm not afraid ~~slightly slyly~~ Come on and coax your senior sister, I'll carry you up!" I stuck my tongue out at Xiaoyou Nan.

Before Younan could speak, the little demon at my feet turned to look at me: “ ... You’re so naive. Let a three-year-old child coax you”

Well... I just wanted to tease Xiao You Nan.

Well, he is the child of Master and his junior wife. I can't be too harsh on him because he's young.

"Come on, come on, sister, let me hug you up." I reached out and hugged him in front of me.

Little Nie didn't have any "equipment", like a collar you could grab onto. It seems that Mistress had never used it as a mount. I could only bend down and hug its neck, keeping Xiao You in my arms.

Perhaps I'm being redundant, Xiaoyou Nan should have ridden this majestic lynx many times.

But his puffed-up, little bun face just now made me realize he's still a child, even if his mind is precocious, his body still needs to be properly cared for.

Xiao Nie jumped off the cliff, walking on the wind. Soon, I saw the rushing river below flowing from west to east.

When there are no natural disasters, this river is relatively clear. I remember when the earthquake hit, the river water seemed to boil, and the upstream blockage was full of silt.

At the southeastern corner of the entire watershed lies the area that was once ravaged by fire.

The Sublime Being of Bei Yin, Emperor Xuanqing, Lord of the Nine Hells... the highest deities of the underworld.

His fit of anger left behind a scorched earth that refused to be extinguished.

I have seen those tree villages, frozen in time at the moment they were burned. They haven't decayed or collapsed, but neither can they sprout new branches.

On the other hand, new life has taken root and is slowly showing signs of vitality.

This place allows you to clearly feel the two states of mind, life and death.

Because of cause and effect, celestial beings and deities generally refrain from interfering in worldly affairs. The Emperor would build palaces and residences in the blessed grottoes of Mount Nan for his junior wife's quiet meditation, perhaps also to "sever" the "cause" he had sown.

To sever the connection, one must inevitably return to its original state. However, to prevent excessive interference, the Heavenly Emperor taught Mu Wanchen the orthodox methods of cultivation, imparting guidance and leaving behind a divine talisman to compensate for any missing aspects of his path.

"Junior Brother Younan, what kind of divine talisman is that Is it used to make up for the lack of your sect's methods" I was blown by the wind and couldn't open my eyes. I mumbled in Younan's ear.

"Well, before when there were temporary changes in the forbidden arts, we just used talismans to suppress the aura. I don't know why it didn't work this time... Speculating is useless, let's go see for ourselves." Xiaoyuan said calmly.

It's really strange being with him. He looks like a little baby, soft and cute, but his tone of voice is just like Master’s.

But he would also get so angry that he'd turn into a little dumpling, and when he landed I didn't pick him up. He just puffed up his cheeks and looked at me.

Wow, this little fellow must have been spoiled by his master, the celestial being Ji Dou Xingjun.

Ji Du Xing Jun made him sit on his shoulder, he must be a very protective master.

I quickly reached out and hugged him down. A three-year-old child was still quite heavy in my arms, but this place was rugged and overgrown with trees. I was afraid that this delicate little ancestor would be scratched or bumped, so I just gritted my teeth and held him as I walked.

"Ahead is a new village. Senior Brother Mu has relocated people here to assist in repairing the Dharma Gate and enforcing strict security measures to prevent any unwanted intrusion. Let's go ask about the situation," You Nan pointed me in a direction.

I've actually been here before, but it was right after the earthquake. People were panicking and it was nighttime, so I couldn't make out the surroundings.

This is an artificially built small outpost, utilizing the terrain to form a circle on the hillside. It has gates and watchtowers.

"Senior Sister, you go check the situation out. I'm not convenient to go there myself." Younan commanded me righteously.

Well, after all, he's just a little boy. It's better if I, an adult, handle things like this.

I placed Younan beside Xiaonie and walked towards the village gate myself.

A carriage arrived at the gate and stopped in front of me, lifting its curtain to reveal a kind and handsome face.

“My dear Princess, how did you get here”

Hey This is Lian Lóng, the brother of even the little spirit. He's a very famous doctor here.

"Why are you in such a hurry Is there a patient" I casually asked.

"Yes, someone has been hurt in a strange way. I came to see what happened. The Shaman King is busy preparing tonight's ritual and has no time to spare." He said as he jumped down from the carriage.

I took the opportunity to follow him into the village. As people saw me talking with him, they didn't ask much about my identity.

As soon as I stepped into the small plaza in the middle of the village, I smelled a metallic scent of blood.

The House of Medicine was all too familiar with this taste.

I frowned, this smell was too strong, it wasn't just "injured", was it

Lienlong, with a young boy carrying a medicine box, dashed into a spacious stilt house. The crowd was too thick for me to squeeze in, so I quietly stood by the bamboo stairs and eavesdropped on the people around me.

"That's a monster! Not an ordinary person, how could an ordinary person be so violent"

"...at least we caught it. Otherwise, with monsters like this running around everywhere, we wouldn't even dare to leave the village..."

But why would there be such monsters in the outside world And they even invaded our gate…

Monster

What other monsters could scare your witch clan

I was puzzled, the people around me were whispering softly, a murmur of voices, but I suddenly heard a chilling "tick-tock" sound.

"Tick...tock...tick..."

A chill ran down my spine. I turned around, searching for the source of the sound. I walked halfway around the bamboo building before noticing something seeping through the cracks in the structure, drop by drop, onto the soil below.

Is that...the blood of the wounded

A drop of black blood, oozing out from the crack, dripped onto the ground, making a shallow pit in the mud.

I couldn't help but push through the crowd and squeeze onto the stairs. I leaned against the door frame and shouted to the person inside: "Lianlong, these bloods seem strange!"

Lianlong's expression was grave. He turned his head to glance at me, and my gaze went past his shoulder to the injured person —ed in the sea and decided to fill it up!"Ji Dou Xing Jun crossed his arms and said with a huff, "Even more exaggerated is that the Sun Mother Xi He led her ten sons to patrol the heavens, but nine wer...
