Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 448 Scholar, You're Deceiving the Demon

Half an hour later, Chen Ping quietly returned home.

Chen Xu did not return home with him.

It was the middle of the night, and everyone in his family was fast asleep. Going home at this time would not be a pleasant surprise, but a shock.

It would be better to rest outside first and return home the next day after dawn.

Chen Ping originally wanted to persuade him, but Chen Xu said, "If you are worried that I will have nowhere to go at night and have to sleep outside, there is no need to worry."

Now that I have embarked on the path of spiritual practice, I possess the convenient methods available to practitioners.

After saying that, he pointed to an empty space next to him.

Instantly, a small and exquisite wooden house flew out of his hand, and after landing, it grew larger in the wind, transforming into three rooms.

Its blue tiles and white walls, carved window frames, and size were no different from normal houses.

At first glance, the house seems to have been naturally meant to be here.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could Chen Ping have imagined that this house was actually transformed from a small wooden hut the size of a palm?
He stared blankly for a long time, then gently exhaled.

The path to immortality in the mortal realm is now as distant as the abyss between heaven and earth.

Chen Ping should have been amazed and full of praise, but for some reason, he felt a little heavy-hearted.

He hurriedly shook off the strange feeling in his heart and smiled, saying:
"The methods of immortals are beyond my comprehension. Second brother, your world is truly fascinating."

"If that's the case, then I won't force you to stay."

The two brothers separated after that, which need not be discussed further.

Chen Xu found an open space on the back mountain and landed the portable wooden house again.

This item was purchased at the Hundred Battles Market in Bailiu City, along with many other useful items from the Xuan Tian Star Realm.

Both Ashi and Wei Yuan were curious.

Wei Yuan remained relatively calm, but A Shi immediately cheered and leaped off Chen Xu's shoulder like a small cannonball, rushing into the wooden house.

Three rooms, one main room and two secondary rooms.

The interior is furnished with tables, chairs, and beds; it is simple yet not shabby.

Ah Shi was utterly amazed. The little mouse darted left and right around the room, then cried out joyfully:
"Scholar, is this our home from now on?"

Wei Yuan couldn't help but look around the room, then turned to Chen Xu, waiting for his reply.

Chen Xu laughed and said, "This is just a portable house with a mustard seed array engraved on it. Its advantage is convenience, but to call it a home..."

He paused for a moment, originally intending to say that this little house could hardly be considered a home.

After all, this item is fragile and easily damaged.

But seeing the expectant looks in the two little demons' eyes, Chen Xu suddenly had a slight thought, and he changed his mind and said:

"But it's not wrong to call it home."

After all, the path of spiritual practice is long and winding; where is not home?
The point is not which house it is, but having family by your side.

Ah-Shi, Ah-Yuan, with you here, this is home.

That was such a sweet word! The mouse darted over, leaped onto a table, its eyes wide open, and said:

"Scholar, you're lying to the demon! You're just good at saying nice things."

What does it mean to say that we are here, and this is home?
"If you truly care about us that much, why did you suddenly disappear before?"

At this point, tears welled up in its eyes.

It originally intended to endure it, but it simply couldn't resist.

The mouse then pursed its lips, trying its best not to cry out.

It can't be this pathetic!
But little did it know that its tearful, almost-crying appearance was far more heartbreaking than when it actually cried.

Even if Chen Xu were heartless, he might not be able to withstand it.

Moreover, Chen Xu had always been concerned about them, and deep down he was not without guilt.

"Ashi." Chen Xu wanted to reach out to comfort it, but when he turned his head, he saw Wei Yuan standing on the windowsill next to the desk with his book box on his back.

Hedgehogs are much more composed than mice; they keep a straight face and don't show a single tear.

But when it stood on the windowsill, its body slightly tense, looking up at Chen Xu, its silent questioning was even more powerful than the mouse's repeated accusations.

This is really bad; we couldn't appease one, and now two more are coming.

What else could Chen Xu do?
He could only release one, two, three...

In the end, a full twelve bronze puppet lamps, each with a uniquely shaped wing, fluttered and flew around Ashi and Wei Yuan. One ugly, rascally flying dog lamp, controlled by Chen Xu, flew in front of the little mouse, seemingly begging for mercy.

A moment later, it flew to the mouse's feet and rolled around on it, revealing its wrinkled belly.

Some of the little lights flew so fast that they even made a whistling sound in the wind, as if they were begging for mercy in the wind.

Finally, a somewhat ugly flying cat-shaped lantern landed at the mouse's feet, lying on its side and rolling around its furry paws.

The mouse could no longer contain itself and squeaked out a laugh.

That smile instantly shattered the previous tense atmosphere.

Including Wei Yuan, a beautiful dragonfly lamp rested on its book box, the gentle light illuminating the little hedgehog's profile, conveying a spiritual warmth.

Wei Yuan could no longer keep a straight face; his eyes crinkled, and he sighed as he revealed a smile.

What else can be done?

It's good that Fellow Daoist Chen is back safe and sound.

Afterwards, Chen Xu gave the two little demons a brief explanation of why he had suddenly disappeared.

However, he did not elaborate on the matter of the murals, only briefly explaining that he had involuntarily "ascended" to another mysterious world due to his overflowing merits.

Chen Xu originally wanted to explain the existence of the Xuan Tian Star Realm, but for some reason, just as he was about to utter the relevant words, he suddenly felt a crazy heart palpitation.

This terrifying feeling of palpitations carries a strong sense of foreboding.

Having cultivated himself for so long, how could Chen Xu dare to disregard his own premonitions and feelings?

He immediately changed the terminology of the relevant explanation, making it very vague and obscure, and only then did the terrifying palpitations slowly subside.

In the Nine Provinces world depicted in the murals, why can't the Xuan Tian Star Realm be mentioned directly?

Chen Xu was somewhat surprised and suspicious. He guessed that there must be some mysterious connection between these two worlds that he could not understand at the moment.

This secret may be another treasure he must conquer on his path to success.

In the Xuan Tian Star Realm, the Golden Core stage is nothing special, the Nascent Soul stage is not the peak, and the Deity Transformation stage is only on its way...

Even the Star Return Ancestor, who was in the Tribulation Transcending stage, called himself a minor cultivator. So, what exactly does the true peak look like?

Chen Xu then recalled the "Whispers in the Wind" he had obtained when he killed the demon.

Who knows if these "whispers in the wind" might hold some secrets of the universe?

Chen Xu suppressed the urge to listen immediately and first told the two little demons about their separation.

Of course, he also promised that he would never leave without saying goodbye again.

After that, Chen Xu took out many more gifts for the two little demons.

The mouse was startled and cheered, completely forgetting that it had been angry earlier.

"A storage backpack? Is this for me? But I already have Shejunxu... But this backpack is really pretty, it looks a bit like a hedgehog's book box."

I like it, I want one more!

"Hedgehog, your satchel is also very nice. The scholar is so thoughtful, even considering that it's inconvenient for you to take things out of your book box."

We'll also prepare an extra storage bag for you.

Yes, that's true. My backpack is the same way, because retrieving items from the Shejun Market isn't always convenient.

"Delicious? Huh, what's this? Lotus leaf cake made with Jade Blood Spirit Rice? Delicious!"

"Truly worthy of a scholar, your cooking skills are indeed superior."

【Like +100】

Excellent! Chen Xu's return earns him another thumbs up.

He smiled slightly, first sharing the gift with the two little demons, then taking out the spiritual food he had made and telling them to put it into their own storage pouches.

Chen Xu has never shown off the lotus leaf cake made from Bixue Lingmi.

Because long-term consumption of Bixue Lingmi (碧血灵米) naturally has a certain effect on stimulating the body's Dao.

After Chen Xu processed it into spiritual food, its effects were enhanced.

Therefore, before Chen Xu reached the Golden Core stage, he did not intend to reveal this item to the public.

It's fine to only feed it to one's own little demon.

After the two demons had finished catching up, the two little demons sat in the array that Chen Xu had set up for them and began to cultivate.

Chen Xu returned to his room, ready to listen to the "eerie whispers in the wind".
