The path to immortality through demonic cultivation begins with devouring snakes to become immortals

"What do you care if I'm human or not?" Li Xiaobai retorted irritably, then glanced at Gong Baiwan.

To be honest, this big white cat is really fierce. He thinks Gong Baiwan is a good cat, and he can't let him continue to waste his time like this, right?

So Li Xiaobai extended his hand to Gong Baiwan again: "Brother Baiwan, since we're so destined to meet, why don't you join me?"

Gong Baiwan let out a disdainful snort: "You cunning scoundrel, you dare to say that?"

"Why don't I deserve it!"

Li Xiaobai said angrily, "Lang Yuezheng made a fortune following me. His mother has a beautiful little wolf girl serving him every day. He doesn't even want to walk by himself when he goes out."

"I'm not asking you to be my subordinate, we're partners! You know what a partnership is, right? Do you think you'd lose money if you partnered with me?"

Upon hearing this, Gong Baiwan hesitated.

To be honest, he was naturally extremely sensitive to malice, especially to the aura of living beings.

But he couldn't sense any malice from Li Xiaobai at all. In fact, Li Xiaobai's soul aura gave him a kind of... inexplicable, gentle feeling. In other words, it was really comfortable to be with Li Xiaobai.

But! That doesn't change the fact that he utterly despises this snake!

Especially when faced with his ultimate move, he actually turned and ran! Not only did he run away, but he also waited until he was exhausted and then summoned eight wolves to circle and kick him!

Is this something a demon could do?

But he also clearly saw that Li Xiaobai treated Lang Yuezheng as his subordinate, and that wolf was living a truly good life! The Demon Forest was already one of the places with the richest spiritual energy among the demons; if it also had abundant resources…

But Gong Baiwan let out another sigh: "Never mind, I prefer to be alone."

"Hey, look, we've become friends after our initial misunderstanding, right?" Li Xiaobai stepped forward and patted Gong Baiwan on the shoulder; the two were actually about the same size.

But surprisingly, Gong Baiwan couldn't muster the slightest bit of vigilance.

Damn it! This snake clearly has a very strong demonic aura, so how can it be like this? It doesn't seem like a demon at all.

"You need my help, don't you?" Gong Baiwan looked at Li Xiaobai.

"Yes, my brother might be in trouble, I have to go check on him," Li Xiaobai said frankly.

"Although Old Wolf is very strong, he is only at the upper-middle level of the peak of the third tier. So you are different without him! I feel that you have the strength to rival the prodigies of your clan."

"That's right!" Gong Baiwan proudly raised his head.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, it dawned on him: "Who is your brother? Even the wolves of Wolf Village aren't qualified to participate. How much trouble is he going to get into?!"

You're trying to drag me into doing manual labor?!

"A pheasant, from the south, and a king... um, and a tortoise."

"I don't know exactly what kind of trouble I've encountered, but it's definitely some kind of trouble."

A pheasant? And a turtle?

Gong Baiwan's eyes suddenly flickered.

"Could it be Gan An... Yes, it must be Gan An. There shouldn't be any other turtles in this third-tier demon's territory."

"Who is Gan An?" Li Xiaobai asked curiously.

Gong Baiwan's voice wasn't loud, it was almost a mumble, but Li Xiaobai heard it clearly.

"It should be the turtle you were talking about."

Gong Baiwan turned around and began packing his belongings: "When I first broke through to the third rank, I was in the south. They looked down on me because I was a cat, and a white one at that."

While stuffing his spirit stones and elixirs into his pockets, Gong Baiwan muttered, "Actually, I'm just a white tabby cat, but they're blind and can't tell."

"I've been constantly robbed. It was Gan An who took care of me for a while; otherwise, I would have been driven out of the Demon Forest long ago, and I wouldn't be where I am today."

Before long, Gong Baiwan carried a large bag on his shoulder.

"Let's go, I'll go with you. If Gan An is really in trouble, I can't not help."

"That's great!" Li Xiaobai gave a thumbs up: "Even if nothing had happened, we'd still join forces to teach those demons who bullied you a lesson."

"Do I need your help?" Gong Baiwan said arrogantly.

A few breaths later, Gong Baiwan looked longingly at Li Xiaobai, who was standing on the Dragon Soul Sword: "Help me, pull me up, I can't fly yet."

"Tsk, didn't you say you didn't need my help?"

Li Xiaobai smiled jokingly, but still pulled Gong Baiwan up.

With his current proficiency in sword control, as long as he is not greatly disturbed by external factors, carrying another person is not a big deal.

But! Who would have thought that Gong Baiwan, who looks to be in the same physique as him, is actually so heavy?!

"What the hell are you touching? I didn't leave a tail! Are you blind? My legs are right here!"

"Holy crap... slow down! Slow down the hell! It's too high! Show me your tail and give me a pull!!"

Go to Nima!

Li Xiaobai broke down completely, and in the end, it was Gong Baiwan, who was trembling, who finally calmed down by pulling on the jade belt tied around his waist.

Li Xiaobai was furious! He'd taken so many clothes, only to have you pull on a single belt like a rein...

...............

Demon Forest, the southernmost territory of the third-tier demon race.

This place is very close to the territory of the fourth-tier demon race, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is even more abundant, and it is also where most third-tier demons gather.

There were even some fourth-order demons quietly cultivating here. Those were people who had no hope of advancing any further in this life and whose lifespans were almost over, so they just stayed here to eat and wait for death.

What's even more surprising is that there are quite a few places resembling human villages and towns in this area! There's a lot more life and activity here.

In a semi-open cave, the pheasant, looking guilty, used its spiritual power to heal another demon who looked very old and middle-aged.

"It's really..."

Although the pheasant was still wearing a colorful robe, its distinctive rooster comb hairstyle was gone, replaced by smooth, long hair with a rainbow-like appearance. It even tied its hair up casually, just like Li Xiaobai.

Brother Xiaobai said that all the powerful cultivators of the human race grow their hair like this; they're very particular about it!

Moreover, the pheasant's current cultivation level is only half a step away from the peak of the third rank!

"You're telling me all this, kid?" Gan An smiled helplessly.

"He stole her away, he deserves to be taught a lesson! Whew, I never expected him to be this ruthless!"

Gan An slapped his thigh.

Damn it! Who knew that a demon comparable to a clan-level prodigy could appear in the territory of a third-tier demon?

Unfortunately, this demon took advantage of the fact that the pheasant was being pulled into the place of demon selection and tricked the pheasant's prospective partner away!

He and Shanji get angry whenever this is mentioned.

He's been trying to win over the chicken for over a year, but he hasn't even kissed her once! What a load of rubbish about innocent!

And then what? Not long after she tricked a demon who ran a restaurant away, she started living with other demons.

Pheasant: "Awooooo~"
