Three days after leaving Langhuan Pavilion, Tongsu began to regret her decision.

This fat bird is so hard to manage!

"You won't eat anything but bamboo seeds, and you won't drink anything but sweet spring water. Do you think you're a phoenix? Phoenixes are much thinner than you! I'm eating cornbread and drinking stream water myself, and you expect me to go out of my way to find you spiritual spring water and spiritual fruits? If you don't eat, then go hungry."

The little red bird pecked at her fingers in a fit of rage, and pulled her hair into a complete mess: "Chirp chirp chirp!"

Mortal food contains too many impurities, and one must spend time cleansing it after eating, otherwise it will affect cultivation. If one cannot find spiritual springs and fruits free of impurities, fasting is better than filling one's stomach.

But Tong Su didn't think so.

She was a divine bow in human form, so the harm of eating these things wasn't as great as she imagined. Besides, she hadn't fully mastered the art of fasting, and she was really suffering from hunger if she didn't eat.

So what's wrong with the way of Heaven?

When she was still holding the bow and hadn't transformed into human form, she didn't need to eat. But after she transformed, she would get hungry if she didn't eat for a meal.

During their travels, only Tongsu and Xiaoniaoqiu relied on each other for survival. A'dang and the others were separated when they left Langhuan.

The three fox demons returned to their old home in Xuanyuan Hill first. Master Adang came out of seclusion and personally came to pick her up to return to Kunlun.

The bow and the bird argued as they walked, and the further they went, the more mortal scenes they saw, and their expressions gradually became serious.

The mortal tribes have also been in turmoil recently, with frequent wars causing many people to be displaced. On their escape routes, they have been wantonly hunted and killed by demons and witches who have fallen into evil ways.

Many witches and monsters, believing themselves to be powerful enough, have developed the habit of cannibalism for cultivation, which is much faster than absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. Some lustful people also have a penchant for sexual exploitation, causing widespread resentment among the mortals.

His Majesty Emperor Jun has repeatedly issued orders to prohibit it, but there are always demons who refuse to change their ways, especially those of lowly origin and weak cultivation. They seem to have fallen into evil ways, each one gloomy and covered in blood.

Along the way, Tong Su killed countless evil and wicked cultivators she encountered and saved many people.

Because of her youthful appearance, the evil spirits didn't take her seriously. As a result of their carelessness, her golden core was shattered, and she lost her life.

That day, she and Birdball were resting by the river when they saw another group of mortals fleeing in panic, followed by several witches who were laughing and reeking of blood.

She immediately killed the evil sorcerers and saved the group of people. They were so grateful that they bowed repeatedly and helped each other to the riverbank to rest.

Tongsu chatted with the elderly man at the head of the group, and when she asked him where they came from, the old man looked distressed.

"We escaped from the Jiang clan, which had just been defeated by the Jiuli clan. Our leader, Emperor Yan, sought help from Emperor Huang, the leader of the Xuanyuan clan, to join forces in a great war against the Jiuli clan. We were fleeing for our lives and wanted to seek refuge with the Xuanyuan clan."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She said with grief and hatred, "This world is simply not giving mortals a way to live! Everywhere there are man-eating demons and witches, there is not a safe place to live! You, a cultivator, are a little better off, but you are young, so you must be careful."

Tong Su said, "I'm actually not a cultivator—oh well, never mind, let's not talk about that now. What's the situation now? Didn't His Majesty the Demon Emperor say that any demons who follow evil paths must be killed on sight? Are there really that many evil demons? There are good ones among the demon race too..."

The old man lamented, "How many good monsters are there? The outside world is terrifying now. Demons and witches eat people! Who has the time to kill evil spirits? We were bullied by the demons to the point of desperation, so we went to seek refuge with Emperor Yan, but we never expected to be driven away by the witches and lose our home! Heaven will not let them go, it will not!"
