Gingerbread collapsed, utterly exhausted.

Someone is knocking on the door.

She dragged her tired body open the door, and what came into view was Xie Xinglan's handsome face full of energy.

"Junior Sister Jiang, why are you so weak?" Xie Xinglan asked in surprise.

Gingerbread invited people to the stone table in the courtyard.

"I haven't rested well. What brings you here, Senior Brother Xie?" She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xie Xinglan.

"My master told me that your spirit beasts have advanced." Xie Xinglan smiled and took out two white jade bottles. "These are spirit-restoring pills I refined, the kind specially for spirit beasts. You can feed them to Xiao Huang and Chou Chou when they wake up."

"I can't possibly accept that," Gingerbread said politely, declining the offer.

My heart is bursting with joy.

Fenjue, who witnessed everything, twitched slightly at the corner of his eye.

"Junior Sister Jiang, don't be so polite. You also gave me a lot of talismans, and the method you mentioned last time to strengthen the alchemical fire worked really well after I tried it."

Xie Xinglan finished speaking in one breath, blushed, put the bottle on the table, and ran away.

"?"

Gingerbread happily put the bottle away.

Old Huang stood at a distance and shook his head, "The kid's in a bad state, and the girl just hasn't caught on yet!"

At that very moment.

Two colors of light emanated from the courtyard.

Gingerbread quickly ran to the spirit beast's side.

Then I saw it.

Stinky and Little Yellow have completed their upgrades.

The little blond's fur had grown a bit longer, and the white flame-like markings on its forehead were more defined.

Small wings also grew on both sides of its body.

"Little Huang, you look so impressive!"

“Awooooooo——”

Little Yellow wagged its tail around Gingerbread, raised its head, and nudged her legs with its head.

only--

How did poop become so bad?

Um……

Gingerbread's little face scrunched up in a frown.

The humanoid black smoke standing in front of me was very tall.

It's just stinky!

Its entire body was pitch black, except for its eyes, nose, and mouth, which had color.

Gingerbread always reminds me of a character from an anime.

He tilted his head and thought for a long time.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck.

She pointed at Chou Chou in disbelief and said, "It's you, the shadowy figure from Detective Conan!"
