"I need a storage ring! I need to find Xiao Ding!"

The little fairy made a cross gesture with a tree branch: No.

Hoshino raised her head and asked, "Why not? The headmistress has one."

Tu Xiaoxiantong made several complex hand gestures.

The gist is that storage rings require certain ores, certain monster fluids, and certain materials derived from spiritual plants to make, which are currently unavailable.

Hoshino persisted: "These warehouses all have them. You can conjure up thousands of hands and finish it in no time!"

The little fairy continued to use a branch to firmly demonstrate his fork: No.

"I'm going to find Xiao Ding!"

With a blank expression, Tu Xiaoxiantong conjured several vines from tree branches and performed a cat's cradle trick.

Hoshino shouted in her baby voice, "I want to help Headmistress bring him back!"

Tu Xiaoxiantong continued performing cat's cradle.

The dragon cub and the guardian fairy were locked in a stalemate inside the cave, repeating their conversation for quite a while.

Xiao Jia couldn't stand it anymore and went closer to the cave.

Hoshino immediately noticed the footsteps: "Who is it?"

"It's me."

This was Xiao Jia's first time visiting Hoshino's cave after waking up.

After the breathing room was built, Hoshino didn't come here for a while, and a layer of dust accumulated in the cave.

However, because no one wanted to come in, no one took away the low table, bed, and futon inside.

At this moment, a cloth bundle was unfolded on the low table, and inside the bundle was a small mountain of meat.

Meat bones, dried meat, meat sauce, meatballs...

Both raw and cooked are available.

It seems that Hoshino wants to give the meat to Xiaoding's father and exchange Xiaoding for him.

"What did you overhear?"

A wary glint flashed in Hoshino Black Pearl's eyes as she glared at him and said angrily, "Don't you dare tell the headmistress what you heard, or else..."

He couldn't beat Xiao Jia either.

When a pangolin curls up, it becomes as hard as an iron ball.

Hoshino had no choice but to change his tactics: "Otherwise, I'll fart at you!"

Xiao Jia was speechless, and said disdainfully, "You're almost at the point of forming your demon core, can't you be a little more mature?!"

"No!" Hoshino shook his head, his voice righteous and firm. "Master said that we only mature after forming our demon core. Before forming our core, our minds are about the same as those of mortal cubs!"

Xiao Jia carried the dinner plate to the low table, pushed the bundle aside, and asked, "Do you still want some of this?"

"Food!" Hoshino sat down cross-legged, picked up a spoon, and began to eat voraciously.

Xiao Jia and Tu Xiaoxian Tong exchanged a helpless glance.

The porcelain doll remained expressionless, but when it pulled out a tree branch, the leaves drooped down as if to express a sigh.

Xiao Jia squatted down and said to Xingye, "I know you have the ability to break through the Little Fairy's restriction, but don't wander off. If you break the rules again, Headmistress will only have more of a headache. When the time comes, Xiao Ding will come back on his own!"

That's what comfort is.

Xiao Jia himself didn't believe this.

With a dog demon leader like Salia, how could Xiao Ding possibly come back?

His spiritual roots have been nourished by the food in the Beast Garden, and the Dog Demon Tribe will never let him go.

"I've always broken the rules, I've never followed them!" Hoshino said smugly, skillfully cutting open the vegetable dumplings with a spoon and scooping them into his mouth. Suddenly remembering something, he mumbled, "You're a demon cultivator, you don't need to follow the rules! Those rules are for us demon beasts!"

"Huh?"

Xiao Jia was enlightened.

Rules must be followed, of course, but rules can also be adapted.

After achieving the Core Formation, one's state of mind is very important. The Hundred Beasts Garden does not have a garden to maintain one's state of mind, so he needs to frequently contemplate the world and wander around to clear his mind.

The headmistress once subtly suggested that if he found the mountains too boring, he could go to the town for some fun.

Luo Haiqing gave him a spirit sword, which was enough for him to travel by, and it wouldn't take much time to go back and forth.

The reason why Hoshino was not allowed to go to find Xiao Ding was firstly because he was worried about the dangerous mountain road, and secondly because he was worried that Xiao Ding would provoke Salia and get him beaten up.

But if Xiao Jia is there, things will be different.

He was self-aware and knew his place, and spoke gently.

As long as there is room for negotiation and they are given these magical beast meats rich in spiritual energy, Saliyah will not make things difficult for them.

The dog demon inherited the wolf demon's personality, preferring to appear at night and must also love eating meat.

If we set off now, we can be back early tomorrow morning, and maybe even have a hot breakfast.

"No, these pieces are wolf meat, we can't give them to them!"

Xiao Jia approached Hoshino's bundle, picked up a piece of meat, sniffed it, and then took out several more pieces of wolf meat.

Hoshino scratched his head.

I didn't expect that.

If we just go like this, let alone bring Xiao Ding back, he'll probably die there!

The two children, one big and one small, went to the kitchen to rummage through the storage cabinets and found some succulent venison and lamb. They tied them up with straw rope and put them in a bundle.

If they don't come back tomorrow morning, we'll still need to find someone to cover for them.

Xiao Jia: "Meimei, we're going to find Xiao Ding. If we don't come back in time, just say we're looking for a cave to cultivate in Xuanwu Mountain!"

Hoshino: "If I don't come back, remember to feed the little bird for me and give her a bath."

Xiao Jia: "Please feed the red panda for me too."

Hoshino: "Save my breakfast for me!"

Xiao Jia: "Please keep my share too."

Hoshino: "If we don't come back by noon, remember to save lunch for me too."

Xiao Jia thought for a moment and said, "Keep some for me too."

Hoshino: "If we go tonight..."

Meimei got a little annoyed, kicked the two boys out of the room, and slammed the door shut.

The two little ones looked at each other and grinned.

Xiao Jia had flown using his spirit sword in the outer mountains, but he wasn't very skilled at it yet. He flew sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and he would sometimes crash into rocks.
