"???" The dog's howling cries suddenly stopped abruptly. He raised an eyebrow and carefully examined Qiyue, finally asking with a hint of disbelief, "Really not human?"

"My true form is Fei Fei. In a way, we're both ancient divine beasts," Qi Yue said with a touch of pride.

The dog's eyes widened in disbelief: "I don't believe you!? If you weren't human, I would have seen through you long ago! Are you lying to me? Sure enough, you humans are as despicable, shameless, and filthy as ever!"

July's ears hurt from its barking. She rubbed her ears, threw it away, and transformed back into her original form. After a few seconds, the soft, cuddly little cutie finally calmed the dog down.

After a slight pause, he fawned over Qiyue and clung to her hand, pleading, "Could you tell me why I, an ancient divine beast, couldn't recognize your identity?"

"..." Qiyue didn't know the answer to this question either. Looking at Quanyin's eager eyes, she fell silent.

After a moment, he changed the subject, saying, "You kept me here not just to keep you company, right?"

"!" Finally, they got to the point. Quanyin looked at Qiyue with renewed energy and said seriously, "I have been trapped here for thousands of years. In these thousands of years, I have tried countless methods, but I still can't get out. I need you to help me find a body, a human body."

"That way I can go out."

"Okay," Qiyue agreed readily.

The dog was also shocked. It didn't expect it to be so easy. But before it could even be happy, Qiyue's words instantly plunged its good mood into the abyss.

"However, the prerequisite is that you acknowledge me as your master." Looking into Quan Yin's eyes, Qi Yue spoke very seriously.

The dog's expression changed drastically: "Shameless! How could you make such a request! We're the same kind of creature!"

"No, no, no." Qiyue shook her finger, pressed her index finger against Quanyin's mouth, and said seriously, "How can we be considered the same kind? Although we are both ancient divine beasts, I am a true divine beast that feeds on sorrow, while you are an evil beast that feeds on humans and is born from killing. So, strictly speaking, we are not completely the same kind."

The dog was stunned, pointing at Qiyue and speechless with anger: "You you you you..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? That's what it is. Besides, do you know what people call someone like you?" Qiyue poked its head.

It looked bewildered: "What?"

July chuckled to herself: "They're like rats crossing the street, everyone wants to kill them."

"..." Quan Yin was completely speechless, only putting his hands on his hips, glaring angrily at Qi Yue, cursing inwardly.

That's outrageous! That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! What's the difference between this and insulting a short person in front of a short person?

"Awoooooooo—" The dog became more and more upset as it thought about it, and started to throw a tantrum on the ground.

"You bullied me! You bullied me! I will never trust you again!" it cried out in protest.

July found it amusing, crossed her arms, and looked at it with ill intent: "Then I'm leaving~".

As she spoke, Qiyue turned around and slowly walked out, glancing at Quanyin lying on the ground out of the corner of her eye.

What ancient divine beast? This little thing doesn't tell the truth at all. It failed to ascend and is lucky to be alive. It probably lost all its cultivation long ago, otherwise it wouldn't just be baring its teeth to scare her like this.

No wonder the original work only mentioned that it failed to ascend and disappeared without ever reappearing, making her worry for nothing.

However, whether it's a person or anything else, there's nothing in this world that doesn't love freedom, and she didn't believe that this little thing was really not afraid of her leaving.

While Qiyue was observing Quanyin, Quanyin was also secretly observing Qiyue while crying loudly. It didn't believe that Qiyue would really leave, after all, it had countless secret techniques and skills!

She'll definitely come back!

But it waited and waited, until the flowers withered, and Qiyue never turned back; she was about to leave completely.

It panicked.

No, we can't let her go. For a thousand years, she's been the first person to be able to see it. If she leaves, who knows how many more years it will have to wait!

"Wait!" It finally gave in.

"I can serve you as my master and sign a contract! But you have to promise me that you will help me find a body~" The last sentence was almost said in a flattering tone.

There was nothing it could do. It had lied to her earlier when it said that the benefits of failing to fly outweighed the drawbacks. Although it had a body, it was only a child's body and had no cultivation. It was eaten by a monster in the Forbidden Forest in one bite. It barely managed to survive and wanted to possess another body to be reborn, but damn it, that human actually possessed a secret technique that could influence fate.

Not only did it fail to possess the body, it was also imprisoned here ever since.

Waaaaah, it's so unlucky! Why is it so unlucky?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and Quanyin started crying again.

Qiyue was laughing so hard she almost died. She squatted down in front of it and patted its head: "Alright, alright, don't cry. I will definitely help you find a body, but you have to give me that method of signing a contract and puppetry first."

"Okay, fine, I already promised you, so I'll give it to you now, but you can't lie to me..." It looked at Qiyue pitifully, its little hands tightly clutching her fingers, its eyes brimming with tears, looking both pitiful and adorable.

July extended her little finger and made a pinky promise: "Okay, I won't lie to you. Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years."

"A hundred years? Only a hundred years?" The dog's focus was peculiar, and he drooped his little face: "A hundred years will pass in the blink of an eye, only a hundred years."

"That will never change." Qiyue smiled.
