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

Chi Buwan stayed in Xingchenhai for a month, living with them every day, and started to be disliked by her parents.

"My darling, the world is so vast, don't you and Wuli want to go see other places?" Dai Yuqiong asked gently.

"Xiao Deng, it's time to go." Chi Shuyan said with a resentful look, speaking bluntly as if he had disturbed his and his wife's private time.

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

On the day Chi Buwan and Xiao Wuli returned to the cultivation world, Chi Shuyan and Dai Yuqiong were reluctant to part with them again.

Dai Yuqiong: "Honey, are you really going back? Stay a couple more days?"

Chi Shuyan: "Come back and visit more often when you have time. Your dad and mom are always waiting for you at home."

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

His parents have already said both good and bad things to him, so what else can he say?

After saying goodbye, Chi Buwan and Xiao Wuli returned to the cultivation world.

As soon as they landed, Chi Bu Wan saw a fat cat and a pheasant sticking their butts out, doing something they didn't know what, with the majestic Demon Lord Xuan Ming from the Demon Realm squatting next to them.

"Grandpa, hurry up, or we'll be found out!"

Phoenix Demon: "Don't worry, we'll have it soon."

Xuan Qi: "What are you afraid of? The contract master and the demon have gone to the God Realm and won't be back for a while. They have no idea what we're doing."

Chi Buwan: "Yes, I don't know."

"Right? I'm right, aren't I?" Xuan Qi said smugly. "Besides, what can they do to us even if they find out? At most, they'll just be punished with two meals. The Lingxiao Sect is so big, there's nowhere they can't steal a meal!"

Not Too Late: "Where do we usually sneak a bite?"

"You're so stupid!" The two divine beasts, with their backs to Xuanming, were completely unaware of the people behind them. Xuanming's legs went weak and he looked at the two people in front of him. He wanted to speak, but the sensible Xiao Wuli silenced him beforehand.

Xuanming continued to berate him, "The best place to sneak a bite is of course the sect leader's White Dew Peak! The guard is so stupid, I only need to..."

The two wriggling, twisting farts suddenly stopped, and then slowly realized who had been talking to them.

Xuanming swallowed hard, his whole body tense. He looked up at the equally stiff phoenix demon before him, paused for half a second, then suddenly took three steps back, raising his voice, "Ugly chicken! I told you long ago! Even if the contract master isn't home, you can't secretly drink the wine he hides!"

Phoenix Demon: ?

Xuanqi looked at it with an indignant expression: "I only accompanied you here out of kindness, out of consideration for our millennia-long friendship. I never expected you to deceive me! I just smelled it; this is the fragrant wine buried beneath the ground by my kind, beautiful, generous, powerful, and noble contract master!!"

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

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

"You fat cat, how dare you try to pin this on me?!" The phoenix demon took a few steps back, spreading its wings. Its beautiful feathers shimmered in the sunlight, reflecting a dazzling light. "Open your fat eyes and take a good look! Am I an ugly chicken or a beautiful chicken?!"

"You're still not convinced?" Xuanqi's eyes widened, and he began to dig at the ground with his claws.

The phoenix demon looked at it coldly, "When have I ever been afraid of you?"

Xuanqi roared, "One-on-one fight!!!"

Phoenix and Demon roared in anger: "A one-on-one fight it is!!!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two fiery divine beasts rose up and flew into the sky, letting out fierce cries in mid-air before charging fiercely at each other.

However, just as they were about to collide, the two divine beasts simultaneously dodged each other and fled into the distance with a "whoosh".

Xuanming, who was left behind: !

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

Chi Buwan slightly turned her head to look at Xiao Wuli beside her.

Having received the mission, Xiao Wuli slowly raised his hand, his well-defined fingers clenching together. Suddenly, the clouds drifting in the sky transformed into two hands, which abruptly chased after each other in two directions.

"Meow!"

"grumble!"

In less than two seconds, Xuanqi and Fengyao, who had just pretended to have a conflict but were actually discussing escaping, were caught and brought back. The cat and the chicken were held tightly by Yunduo's hands and were also silenced. They could only open their pitiful eyes and look at the people in front of them, hoping to be released.

Chi Buwan was completely immune to the pitiful looks in the eyes of those two mythical beasts.

To him, the two of them were like demons, causing more trouble than they ate every day.

...They eat more rice.

Chi Buwan stared silently at Xuan Qi and Feng Yao, who were trying their best to act cute, and asked, "Whose idea was this?"

The tufts of hair on the heads of Xuanqi and Fengyao stood up and pointed at each other simultaneously.

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

After a two-second pause, Chi Buwan turned his gaze to Xuan Qi.

Xuanqi: ..........

That despicable contract holder! They didn't trust it at all!

Seeing that it was not convinced, Chi Buwan raised his eyes to look at Xuanming opposite him.

"Senior..." Xuanming, having his silencing spell lifted, seemed to have been frightened into tears. Rubbing his eyes, he said with a sob in his voice, "Don't lie to Father. Mother is very powerful. If Father wants to know the reason, Mother will use time reversal."

Xuanqi:

Doesn't he know how powerful the evil spirit is?

And is using time reversal such a powerful thing?

Isn't it just that it can't do it?

Chi Buwan looked at Xuanqi again. Xuanqi paused, then slowly lowered his head and buried himself in the clouds.

It wasn't afraid of the evil spirit, but it found the cloud rather comfortable.

Xiao Wuli removed the clouds, leaving the two divine beasts completely exposed to Chi Buwan's gaze.

Xuanqi:............

"No wonder you two are getting rounder and rounder," Chi Buwan said. "Even when you were punished by not being allowed to eat for several days, you didn't complain at all. It turns out you were sneaking off to eat."

Xuanqi and Fengyao lowered their heads further and further, while Xuanming held back his tears.

Chi Buwan said calmly, "Long steps, 20 laps."

The Xuanqi Phoenix Demon suddenly raised its head and stared wide-eyed at the person in front of it.

Under their gaze, Chi Buwan said, word by word, "I am watching personally."

Xuanqi Phoenix Demon: !!!

Xuanming burst into tears with a loud "waaaah!" Now that he had reached the Mahayana stage, his cries were even louder, and the entire Snow Crimson Peak trembled.

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

.

True to his word, he stood on the long steps, waiting for the two beasts and one person to return.

"Master." Xiao Wuli suddenly called out to him from behind. Hearing the voice, Chi Buwan turned around and met Xiao Wuli's clean and clear black eyes.

"Um."

Xiao Wuli softened his breathing, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, and said slowly, "This disciple has spoken the first words to Master here."

She smiled, her eyes crinkling and her head bowed, though it was late.

It's funny to think about it now. Back then, he couldn't understand the local language. If Xie Hanfeng hadn't also transmigrated in and acted as his real-time translator, he probably would have been deaf for two months.

Their first meeting was actually when he accepted him as his disciple, yet they never exchanged a single, meaningful word.

At that time, he had lost one of his souls, and he was only able to live as usual because of his father's divine power.

However, after taking Xiao Wuli as his disciple, he, who was missing a soul, was easily controlled by the plot of "Rebellion Against the Nine Heavens" and became "another person".

Unexpectedly, he traveled back in time again, curious about the protagonist's appearance, and came here to wait for him to return from the bottom of the mountain.

Just then, three noisy voices came from the swirling clouds.

"It's all your fault! You didn't even remind me when your contract master came back."

That familiar voice, so adept at blaming others, is so distinctive that even when the tone is altered, you can still recognize who it is.

"Grandpa... Mother used a silencing spell to seal my mouth as soon as she arrived," Xuanming said aggrievedly.

Xuanqi: "Won't you stomp your feet and make even the slightest noise?"

"Grandpa, can you hear me stomping your feet? You've been exchanging several words with Daddy and you still haven't reacted," Xuanming whispered, exposing it.

Xuanqi bristled: "It's all because of this ugly chicken that my ears are being disturbed!"

"Smack—" The phoenix demon didn't hold back, spreading its wings and slapping the chubby bottom.

Xuanqi raised his voice: "You dare hit me!"

"I'm going to hit you!" The phoenix demon's voice was louder than his. "If you hadn't exposed where we were sneaking off to eat, would that beautiful mortal have punished us by making us climb those steps?"

Xuanqi was completely unreasonable: "You hit me, so I'll hit you back!"

Phoenix Demon narrowed her eyes and threatened, "You dare?"

Xuanqi: "What wouldn't I dare to do?!"

Hearing all the "too late" and "too late" sounds from the top of the steps: ...........

Not Too Late: "If you have any complaints, add an extra circle to each sentence."

As soon as the words were spoken, the sound from beneath the swirling mist instantly ceased.

Two seconds later, three figures slowly emerged from the clouds. Two beasts and one human, arm in arm, climbed up from the bottom of the mountain like brothers.

"Brother Feng, your feathers are so beautiful and elegant!" Xuanqi exclaimed as he climbed.

"Not at all," Feng Yao replied. "Brother Xuan is also exceptionally handsome and dignified."

"And this young man is also extraordinary, with eyes like stars," Xuanqi praised Xuanming.

"Yes." Feng Yao followed with a single click, "Elegant and refined, with a beauty that could topple empires."

Xuanming: "You two seniors are truly divine beings born of heaven, your presence radiant."

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

Each of the two beasts ran one lap, and without the slightest hesitation, quickly descended the mountain and began their second lap with seriousness.

Chi Buwan only guarded them for three rounds, listening to their three rounds of flattery. After that, he used his divine power to leave his and Xiao Wuli's puppets in place, then took Xiao Wuli's hand and turned to leave the long staircase.

Halfway there, Chi Buwan paused slightly, thought for a moment, and then led him to retrieve the fragrant wine that had been buried a hundred years ago.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Wuli, who was standing obediently in place waiting for him, raised the wine pot, and said, "Want a drink?"

Xiao Wuli's gaze did not fall on the wine pot, but his dark eyes stared straight at the gentle and beautiful person in front of him. He parted his thin lips slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "I want it."
