Wu Hua suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why!

Tiandao's lips twitched uncontrollably as he muttered to himself: "Jiaoyan, salt and pepper, hahaha! Salt and pepper snake meat is indeed delicious!"

Of all the animals present, only Fei Yi—oh no, Jiao Yan—was the happiest! She even eagerly asked Qin Luo to give her another nickname.

Qin Luo originally wanted to call it spicy strips, but Wu Hua disagreed, saying that eating spicy strips would remind her of this.

Finally, we named it "Nannan," the name the old folks used to call their precious daughters before the apocalypse!

Jiao Yan was overjoyed because Qin Luo told her that "Nannan" meant "baby".

She felt that Qin Luo must love her very much to give it this nickname!

Seeing how happy the little guy was, Tiandao wasn't in a hurry to leave and decided to let him stay a little longer.

Wu Hua offered him a lot of fruit.

"Try these grapes, they're so sweet! And this melon, I grew them myself!"

Tiandao accepted them one by one: "Good, good, good! Try them!"

After taking a bite, they all exclaimed, "Mmm! So sweet! It makes my whole heart feel sweet!"

Wu Hua happily took out a large pile of food, packed it up, and said she would let him take it to heaven to eat!

Jiaoyan walked over to his side and snuggled up to his arm, acting coquettishly.

"Grandpa Heavenly Dao, please open my space! I can grow things for you to eat!"

Heaven twisted her little ear.

"You think I don't know that your space is a desert? What can grow there? Sea buckthorn?"

When Jiaoyan realized that her coquettishness wasn't working, she simply gave up.

"Fine, I won't open it then! I'll just eat all your fruit!"

She then picked up a grape and stuffed it into her mouth, making Tiandao and Qin Luo laugh at her hamster-like appearance.

Wu Hua kept carrying out the fruits and vegetables she had grown herself, afraid that there wouldn't be enough for it to eat.

At 2 AM (the hour of Chou), both Wu Hua and Jiao Yan were asleep.

Tiandao was also preparing to leave, but seeing that Qin Luo hadn't yet entrusted him with the affairs of Chunyang County, he asked about it himself.

Why won't you let me help you get rid of the evil spirits in the city?

Qin Luo looked at him with a smile.

Didn't you say that?

"Um?"

"You've established many rules to protect this world, proving that you love it. If you don't care, you certainly can't or won't be able to manage it! So why should I ask again?"

Heavenly Dao smiled upon hearing this.

"Children always have to grow up independently. I can help them protect themselves from the harm of high latitudes, but I cannot deprive them of the right to experience the storms of life!"

Then, looking at the fat relic in her arms, she thought of something that might have already happened.

His face was serious, with a hint of pleading, as he looked at Qin Luo.

"This little beast was thrown into this world, so it must have been one of their closest relatives, and it was the only thing they could think of in their moment of crisis. If that's the case, there are probably more than just one like it in this world, and I don't have time to search for them all..."

Qin Luo understood immediately and gave him a reassuring look.

"Please rest assured, my original intention was to accompany my child to travel all over this land, so I certainly wouldn't ignore it if I encountered anything!"

After nodding, Tiandao said, "Thank you! If it is a ferocious beast, I will come to take it away!"

Qin Luo touched the fat remnant in his arms one last time.

"Will ferocious beasts really wreak havoc on humanity when they grow up?"

Tiandao also looked at the little beast in his arms and nodded slightly.

"It's not what they wanted, but that's the truth!"

Qin Luo said nothing more, and bowed to bid him farewell.

Heaven flicked its sleeve at her, then fell straight down, a golden light enveloping her beautiful face as it vanished.

Qin Luo was startled at first, then remembered that this body belonged to the abbot of Tianyun Temple.

She first sent Wu Hua into her spatial dimension, then greeted Fan Xing and Xia Beinian before preparing to go out and settle the abbot.

To everyone's surprise, Fan Xing suddenly screamed when he saw her.

"Hey sis! Are you in a relationship?"

Qin Luo looked at her with a face full of question marks.

"Has she had an attack?"

This time, it was Fan Xing's turn to be completely baffled.

"You haven't been in a relationship, so how did you get rid of the scar? Didn't you say you kept it because you didn't want to get married? And you even drew a cloud on your forehead, sis, you have great taste! I'll get one drawn on me too!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo remembered the final action of the Heavenly Dao.

"Aaaaah! The scar I worked so hard to get is ruined just like that! I'm not reconciled!"

Fan Xing thought she had gone mad, and pulled Xia Beinian away to a distance.

"Silly North, hurry up and run! She might be going through menopause. Stay away from her to avoid getting caught up in it!"

Xia Beinian didn't understand what it meant either, but he just followed along.

Qin Luo ran back to her room, picked up a mirror, and looked in it. The imposing giant centipede had vanished without a trace.

Not only did her skin become incredibly smooth, but she also gained a lucky cloud mark on her forehead!

She rubbed it for ages but couldn't get rid of it, yet she dared not speak out in anger.

All I could do was complain in my heart: Waaah, damn it, all those days of pain were for nothing!

Then she took out the cosmetics she had collected years ago and fiddled with them, finally managing to draw a reasonably decent line.

Satisfied, he left the space and placed the Abbot of Tianyun Temple onto the donkey cart.

With the departure of the Heavenly Dao, his magic vanished, and chaos erupted outside the city gates.

Many monks and Taoist priests came out.

Qin Luo looked around for a long time but didn't see any of the people she recognized, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

She asked Tengteng to protect the donkey-hide gelatin, and then ran to the city gate.

They grabbed a monk and asked, "What happened inside?"

The monk's eyes were filled with terror, and his teeth chattered as he spoke.

"Ghosts! So many ghosts! No one who goes in can get out!"

"Then how did you get out?"

"It was a Taoist priest who used a vajra bell to suppress the ghosts, which allowed us to escape!"

Qin Luo guessed that it must have been the little Taoist priest who did it, but he wondered why the little Taoist priest himself hadn't come out.
