Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

Xuanqi found a stone somewhere and pretended to throw it at the phoenix demon's face. The phoenix demon put its wings on its hips and kept clucking and cursing. The two divine beasts were making a huge fuss.

Not Too Late: "Even if we argue any longer, it'll all be lost."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent again.

The veins in my temples were throbbing, whether it was late or not.

Is this what it feels like to have three kids in the family?

He raised his eyes.

Proud fat cat.

A gossipy, skinny, ugly chicken.

A crybaby.

Is it too late?:..........

From now on, he is childless.

Taking a deep breath to calm down, Chi Buwan glanced at the rapidly approaching red dot on the system screen, raised his hand, and used his spiritual power to condense a flower. He looked at Xuan Qi and said, "Leave a wisp of divine power on it."

Xuanqi didn't ask any questions and obediently did as instructed.

Chi Buwan grabbed Xuanming by the back of his collar and threw him onto the fat cat: "Come with me later, don't cause trouble, and take good care of him."

Xuanqi nodded.

Chi Buwan looked at the ugly chicken and said, "And you, behave yourself."

Phoenix Demon nodded.

It only snapped out of its daze after nodding, its eyes filled with confusion.

Why should it be afraid of this late-stage Dao Integration cultivator who just has a good-looking face?

Just as it was about to resist, its neck was grabbed, and before it could fight back, it was thrown onto the fat cat.

Phoenix Demon: ...........

Chi Buwan looked at the increasingly close red dot, and after waiting a while to make sure that Lu Kuangtao could sense the divine power attached to the spiritual flower in his hand, he then used his spiritual power to run in the opposite direction.

Seeing the red dot on the screen pause for a second before turning around and chasing after him, he began to calculate its speed.

We can't run too fast, otherwise Lu Kuangtao will notice something's wrong.

Chi Buwan glanced down at the spirit flower in his arms, and a plan had already formed in his mind.

........

In front of the Sky Cave.

As Xiao Wuli stepped into the cave, all contact and connection with the outside world seemed to be severed. He subconsciously looked back and saw his master still watching him at the cave entrance, and the unease in his heart slowly subsided.

Then, he discovered that he could see his master, but his master could not see him.

He paused, stopped in his tracks, and stood still.

"Hurry up and pick the divine flower! The sooner you pick it, the sooner you can be by your master's side. What are you doing standing here watching from afar?" The old man said, exasperated.

Xiao Wuli glanced at it a few more times, then reluctantly looked away.

The cave was dark, almost pitch black. He slightly raised his hand, and spiritual energy blew across the cave wall, igniting a spiritual fire that illuminated the path ahead.

He walked quickly, and the air became more humid the further he went in.

Ding-dong.

A faint sound of dripping water was heard. Xiao Wuli glanced at it, but continued walking forward without stopping.

Soon, a soft halo appeared faintly ahead, but as you approached further, a pool of cold water deep within the cave blocked your path.

In the middle of the cold water, there is a stone platform where a divine flower blooms quietly.

The petals are translucent jade-colored, with a faint golden glow flowing through their veins; the soft halo I saw from afar was emanating from them.

Despite the bone-chilling cold surrounding it, it blooms so brightly, its fragrance filling the air. It appears beautiful, yet it always gives people a chilling feeling.

"A thousand-year-old divine flower!!" The old man exclaimed in astonishment. "There really is a flower in this world that can see the future."

If he had plucked the divine flower and seen the two most important seconds of his future, he wouldn't have fallen for that old devil's treacherous scheme and perished.

The old man turned to look at Xiao Wuli, who hadn't moved, frowned, and urged, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Wuli raised his hand and threw a long sword into the air above the cold pool, only to have it shattered into dust by an invisible pressure.

The old man was stunned, never expecting such a terrifying strangulation trap to exist above the icy pool.

He turned his head to look at the composed Xiao Wuli and asked the question that had been bothering him: "How did you know there was such a trap above?"

Xiao Wuli: "Water droplets."

The old man paused, turning his head to look at the water droplets dripping from the cave ceiling. They were blown apart as soon as they landed in mid-air.

Old man:............

When his master isn't around, the young man's intelligence and observation skills skyrocket. If his master is around, he's like his master's accessory, doing whatever his master tells him to do, even if it's wrong, he blindly follows along.

Xiao Wuli lowered his eyes and glanced at the cold pool in front of him. He lifted his foot and stepped on the water, creating ripples, but he did not fall into the water.

He stepped firmly onto the water and slowly walked to the stone platform in the middle of the cold water. His dark eyes fell on the divine flower, and he reached out to pick it.

Suddenly! A faint golden halo emanated from the flower's stamen. It seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye, the entire cave instantly became radiant and brightly lit.

At the same time, a scene appeared before my eyes.

In the scene, the moon-white figure immediately caught his eye. Realizing that he would also be with his master in the future, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly. However, before the smile could reach his eyes, the bright figure disappeared, and blood mist filled the air, turning the sky crimson.

Xiao Wuli's breathing stopped, his pupils constricted, and his face turned ashen.

"What did you see?" The old man sensed something was wrong and quickly asked.

Xiao Wuli's fingertips trembled uncontrollably, a metallic taste rose in his throat, and breathing became incredibly difficult. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out, as if he was terrified to the extreme.

Old man: !

Isn't this the expression on Xiao Wuli's face after his master died in the poisonous miasma illusion?

Master isn't here, so this lovesick young man mustn't get as confused as he did in the illusion!

Only Master can wake this guy up; he can't wake him up!

Xiao Wuli's eyes were dark, and his whole being was shrouded in an aura of helplessness. Dark energy was faintly wrapped around his brow, as if he was about to fall to the brink of collapse and become a demon forever.

【Xiao Wuli!! Calm down!!】

Seeing his condition, the old man turned pale with fright. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Master is still waiting for you outside!"

Xiao Wuli didn't move, as if the pause button had been pressed. His dark eyes stared blankly at the ancient divine flower in front of him, as if he had lost all life.

The old man glared.

Even invoking the Master's name didn't work? What exactly happened in the future?

Could it be that Master really is dead, just like in the illusion?

The old man's pupils widened.

What kind of horror story is this?!

That brat's twisted mind has long surpassed that of a righteous person. His master is the only person in the world who can keep him on a leash. If he dies, what will become of him?!

The old man's voice was strained. "That's only something that will happen in the future. We still have a chance to change things."

And how could Master possibly be dead?

He possessed extraordinary cultivation, was backed by the number one cultivation sect, protected by a divine sword, had a full bag of high-grade spiritual artifacts, was guarded by divine beasts, and even had spirit beasts blessing and protecting him...

The old man paused, and two words slowly surfaced in his mind.

Heaven.

In this world, as long as Master doesn't seek death, no one can kill him except the Heavenly Dao, because Master is... a soul from another world.

Xiao Wuli had clearly thought of this as well.

His dark eyes were lifeless, shrouded in an impenetrable mist, and the mole at the corner of his eye grew even darker.

The old man felt a chill run down his spine, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

Without a word, Xiao Wuli reached out and plucked the divine flower, then turned and walked out of the cave, remaining silent and still.

The old man stood to the side, his hands clasped together, pleading and begging.

Hopefully, this brat is the same as before; he may seem indifferent now, but he'll immediately turn back into that innocent puppy when he sees his master standing at the cave entrance.

It must be!

The light from the cave exit pierced through the darkness, and the old man's heart pounded. He was about to see his master, but for some reason, an ominous premonition grew stronger in his heart.

Suddenly! A terrible thought flashed through my mind.

Master wouldn't have run away like before while Xiao Wuli was away, would he?!

Upon reaching the cave entrance, a blinding light assaulted the old man's eyes. He instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes from the light, but quickly lowered it once his vision adjusted. The view before him was empty; the slender, aloof figure was nowhere to be seen.

Old man:............

What you fear most will come to pass.

The temperature plummeted, and the old man, already draped in a fur coat, stood three meters away from the ice and snow, his expression one of despair.

Here it comes again.

That unfortunate old man.

However, the next second, he realized something was wrong.

The old man's pupils dilated, and he turned to look at Xiao Wuli, whose dark eyes were gloomy and deep, like a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell to claim lives. His eyes widened.

wrong!

Xiao Wuli is wrong!
