When I woke up, the entire cultivation world was talking about my master.

Chu Xianlan stopped and listened for a moment to the source of the cries for help, feeling that the voice sounded quite familiar.

"Up there," Yan Ling said impatiently, pointing diagonally upwards.

Chu Xianlan looked up and saw...

Chickens and rabbits in the same cage.

Bai Xiaotu, the rabbit-like boy I had just met, was locked in a net woven from a magical artifact, tears and snot streaming down his face, with a demonic chicken perched on his head, frantically pecking at it.

With each peck, Bai Xiaotu spurted out tears.

"..."

The bizarre scene was truly terrifying, and Chu Xianlan paused for two seconds to process it.

Bai Xiaotu was afraid that the other party would turn around and leave because she found it troublesome, so she cried incoherently and shook the large net frantically.

"Help me! Please help me!"

Yan Ling covered her ears and ran away, yelling, "Wow, it's so noisy!"

Chu Xianlan examined the net; it was just a simple binding magic artifact.

It was something that came easily to me.

It didn't take much effort to get the person down, and they also picked up the fierce chicken demon and threw it out.

With the crisis averted, Bai Xiaotu, still shaken, took a deep breath as soon as her feet touched the ground and knelt down in front of Chu Xianlan with a thud!

"From this day forward, my life, Bai Xiao's life, belongs to you!"

What is this all about? Why perform such a grand ceremony?

Chu Xianlan was startled and quickly reached out to support him, "Get up quickly."

Damn it, what's going on in this cultivation world? Everyone's risking their lives.

Bai Xiaotu raised her head slightly, biting her lower lip hard, "Then what do you want? I'll give you everything I have."

After saying that, the boy forcefully stuffed the storage pouch with the carrot pattern into Chu Xianlan's hand.

That won't do either.

Chu Xianlan sighed inwardly, but spoke in a clear and gentle voice: "Fellow Daoist Bai, it was nothing, no need for such a small favor. Please get up."

The fluffy rabbit ears trembled.

The Heart Rabbit Clan boy's ruby-like eyes were brimming with tears as he gazed at Chu Xianlan before him, as if he were seeing a god descend to earth.

Bai Xiaotu's unfortunate demonic life has no end.

In that shit-throwing battle, the young master of the Azure Phoenix, Fei Ling, gloriously fell to his death, and Bai Xiao Tu was forced to fall from a height of ten thousand meters. He thought that this time it would finally be over.

But he didn't die.

He was unlucky; he got caught in a large net hanging in a tree.

Being hung up and imprisoned wasn't scary; what was scary was that there was a ferocious native in the net, pouncing on him and relentlessly spitting on his head. Bai Xiaotu cried as he was pecked by the irritable chicken demon for a whole day and night, almost becoming the first demon in the cultivation world to be pecked to death by a chicken.

Just when all hope seemed lost, Chu Xianlan bravely appeared.

Break the net, save the demon, and chase away the chickens.

Completed in one go, without seeking any reward.

How can this not be considered the epitome of manhood, the most masculine of masculinities!

Having been bullied his whole life, Bai Xiaotu seemed to have grasped the secret to becoming a true male. At this moment, Chu Xianlan appeared strong, tall, and mighty in his eyes.

This is his destined mentor in the world of demons!

The little rabbit demon's eyes lit up, and her mouth darted out before her brain could process it, "You're really amazing! Can I...can I become your apprentice?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Chen shifted his body slightly, flicking his snake tail back and forth.

Chu Xianlan was still observing the sky gradually turning red when she heard this, and casually replied, "I haven't even graduated from my apprenticeship yet."

The little snake's tail curled back up again.

"Then... can I acknowledge you as my elder brother? I am a medical cultivator and I am very skilled in healing arts. I can help you and won't cause you any trouble."

Chu Xianlan choked up, not expecting him to be so persistent.

Turning around, the little rabbit demon frantically scratched at its thick, white ears, looking very anxious.

"If...if it's not possible...that's okay," Bai Xiaotu stammered. "I can walk by myself, please don't hit me, okay?"

Because of his timid nature, he was often beaten in the Heart Rabbit clan, and he had long since developed a conditioned reflex that his first reaction to being rejected was to beg for mercy.

Faced with this demon, Chu Xianlan didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only shake her head: "I won't hit you."

He added, "The situation in the secret realm is not quite right now. If you want to travel with me and look after each other, then come along." After all, medical cultivators in the Myriad Swords Immortal Realm are a rare species.

Bai Xiaotu immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Really? Brother Chu, thank you!"

Chu Xianlan had never encountered such a harmless demon race before. For some reason, she felt that his easily agitated manner was somewhat similar to Qu Ling, the little healer from the Taiyi Sect who always liked to follow her around, so she reached out and patted Bai Xiaotu's fluffy head.

That's when I accidentally bumped into the very noticeable rabbit ears.

The down is fine, fluffy, and bouncy, as soft as fine cloud velvet.

Yan Ling leaned closer with great interest. "Does it feel nice to touch? How does it feel? How does it compare to my handsome mane?"

That's actually quite good... Chu Xianlan suddenly realized and quickly let go of her hand, "Ah, sorry."

"It's okay." Bai Xiaotu scratched her face, not minding at all, and said shyly and innocently, "Brother Chu, if you like, you can... touch me as much as you want..."

Ahhhhh!

Chu Xianlan's inner alarm bells were ringing wildly.

No wonder the Discipline Elder wrote such a long list of precautions!

Good heavens, even he couldn't resist making a move against the demon race!

I've also fallen for the allure of fluffy things.

Ignoring the unruly nature of most demons, a humanoid creature with long ears is really unfair!

Suddenly, the white snake that was lying on my wrist disappeared into my sleeve without even turning its head!

"Master, what's wrong?" Chu Xianlan's arm felt cold.

"It's nothing." The voice was muffled, and the mood was low. "The rabbit smell was too strong."

Chu Xianlan: "...?"

The smell of a rabbit?

He sniffed his own palm and then felt Bai Xiaotu beside him, but didn't notice any smell.

Yi Chen remained silent, curled up in a ball, realizing he had overlooked a rather crucial issue.

Chu Xianlan was quite afraid of snakes when she was young.

He's not afraid now, perhaps because he's getting older and doesn't express his emotions as much as he did when he was younger. It doesn't mean he really...likes snakes.

What's so great about touching cold, slippery scales?

Unlike rabbits, which have fluffy, soft fur and a high body temperature, making them lovable just by looking at them.

No wonder Chu Xianlan couldn't resist touching the Heart Rabbit boy as soon as she met him.

She wasn't usually this frivolous.

Yi Chen recalled that after transforming into this white snake form, Chu Xianlan had only touched him a handful of times.

Since it doesn't appeal to him, he probably... isn't interested in it at all.

Chu Xianlan felt her arms being wrapped tighter and tighter, and was just about to ask a question telepathically—

A powerful sense of spiritual pressure swept over from all around, spreading throughout the forest. As a demon, Bai Xiaotu was more sensitive to her surroundings. Turning her head, she saw a giant rooster's comb emerging from the bushes.

"What a huge rooster!" Bai Xiaotu exclaimed immediately.

Upon closer inspection, the giant rooster's eyes glowed with a ferocious red light, while the demonic rooster that had been pecking at Bai Xiaotu earlier stood proudly atop the giant rooster's head.

The two of them had a bad feeling.

This is because the younger generation has offended the older generation, and now they're coming after us.

The chick meets the big chicken.

This cultivation level is at least at the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

The giant rooster launched a crowing attack, its sharp spiritual energy sonic waves capable of penetrating divine sense and sending chills down one's spine. It then swung its wings and charged forward.

At this critical moment, an earthen wall suddenly rose from the ground.

The rooster couldn't dodge in time and crashed into the wall, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

A sword flashed by.

He Jingxuan stood atop the earthen wall, sword in hand, and waved to Chu Xianlan below. "Hey, are you all alright?"
