Never mind, as long as it has nothing to do with me, that's fine.

Jun Qi withdrew his gaze and was about to hurry back when he suddenly found his ear being hugged by something soft and rubbed a few times.

"Stop fooling around."

Jun Qi quickly twitched his ears and subconsciously let out a few "ha~ha~" sounds.

Xu Qiaoqiao blinked. There was something she didn't know whether to say or not, though she couldn't bring herself to say it: Jun Qi, this wolf, looked more and more like a dog the more she looked at him. Moreover, Jun Qi was a gray wolf, the color of which was closest to that of a husky.

However, the wolves in the cultivation world don't seem much different from wolves in the ordinary world, especially in appearance. When Xu Qiaoqiao first read the book, she imagined a majestic wolf with sharp eyes that could breathe clouds and spit out mist, a very fierce wolf that might also have some magical power.

Jun Qi had no idea what Xu Qiaoqiao was thinking. If he did, he would definitely beat her up a few times. Let it go that she ate him. Even though she saved him, he couldn't let her suffer such humiliation and be called a dog. That was something he used to use to insult those idiots. Now, to be called a dog by Xu Qiaoqiao was a great disgrace!

When Jun Qi took Xu Qiaoqiao back, it was nearing dusk. By the time they arrived at their own little cave, it was already getting dark, and the dim moon was slowly rising in the distance.

Xu Qiaoqiao lightly jumped off Jun Qi's back, landed, and kicked up a light dust.

Suddenly, Xu Qiaoqiao's nose twitched. The whole place was filled with Jun Qi's scent, the smell piercing her nostrils. She felt like a little rabbit who had wandered into a wolf's den, even though there was only one wolf in the den.

After seeing Xu Qiaoqiao land, Jun Qi swaggered in and lay down to rest in a corner.

Although his injuries have largely healed, he didn't show it back then in order to impress Bai Ze. Now that there's no one around except for a little rabbit, he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

Xu Qiaoqiao didn't think much of it. When she saw Jun Qi like this, she simply assumed it was because it was dark and time for him to go to sleep.

Rabbits are generally not very active during the day, but they don't rest either; they just find a corner or a place to stay quietly. However, rabbits are particularly active at night, or rather, they are full of energy.

Xu Qiaoqiao didn't notice this problem at first. Before she came, her daily routine was fine. She was active during the day and slept at night to rest.

But now...

Standing in front of Jun Qi, Xu Qiaoqiao found herself wide awake. Ever since the night Jun Qi brought her here, she had noticed that she was sleeping less and less, and her mind was clearer for longer periods of time.

The stars in the night sky seem to be twinkling especially brightly tonight.

A vast expanse of silver light shimmered in the pitch-black night sky, with a few clouds floating above it, together creating a beautiful picture.

Xu Qiaoqiao leaned against the soil beside her, reached out and bent her ear down to her chest, stroking it.

"Rabbit ears are so soft," Xu Qiaoqiao thought to herself as she stroked them. "But then again, there's no bone in the ears, so it's no wonder they're soft."

The wolf clan, within the palace amidst the mountains.

High above, there was a very large chair covered with soft cushions, and on top of the cushions was a white blanket, which looked to be made of fox fur.

A large, gray-white wolf lay lazily on the bed, yawning as if it had just woken up from a dream.

Suddenly, a golden light shone in from outside.

The big gray wolf merely twitched its eyelids and remained motionless until the golden light came right in front of it, at which point it noticed.

Um?

Is it his good-for-nothing son's fault?

Moreover, it was sent by Bai Ze. Tsk tsk, could it be that that guy thought the outside world was too dangerous, so he ended up running to Bai Ze's territory? Jun Ye immediately thought of this possibility after discovering that the message was sent by Bai Ze.

However, after he understood the situation clearly, he changed his mind.

Junye: ......

He now understood why Bai Ze, who hadn't interacted with him for thousands of years, was suddenly sending him this message. Why was Jun Qi with a little white rabbit?

Moreover, looking at those scenes, Aqi and the little white rabbit were quite intimate, licking each other. Tsk tsk, is that really his son?

In the scene, Jun Qi was covered in wounds, but he still comforted the little rabbit, licking it like an ordinary animal. This was the first time he had seen the boy so...gentle. He had even learned how to comfort people. It seemed that the outside world had indeed helped him grow a lot.

And there was a burden in tow.

Jun Ye twitched his eyebrows, suddenly becoming interested. He had known about the boy's plan to run away from home for a long time, but as a male, it was good for him to go out and broaden his horizons. So, with his tacit approval, Jun Qi's trip went very smoothly.

Why don't we go over and take a look?

He thought to himself that Jun Qi had been gone for so long, and he hadn't seen him in ages. This was a good opportunity to see him, even though he knew the other man would probably go berserk...

Junye became happier the more he thought about it, and without hesitation, he created a clone of himself.

Jun Qi was completely unaware of Jun Ye's actions; he was still sound asleep. His spiritual energy had almost fully recovered in the past few days, but to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, he decided to wait until he was completely healed before leaving.

That day, he called Xu Qiaoqiao to his side.

"Little rabbit, the transformation grass you want grows in the north, on the top of a distant snow-capped mountain, very, very far from here. Did you know that?"

Xu Qiaoqiao blinked her confused eyes. Of course, she couldn't remember such a detailed thing, given her limited memory capacity.

However, seeing that Jun Qi had almost recovered in the past few days, Xu Qiaoqiao was secretly happy for him. After all, she and he were now connected, and his strength was high, so he could protect her.

Jun Qi thought to himself, "As expected, this little rabbit only knows about the Transformation Grass. I wonder which guy gave her this. But it's a good thing."

"Although I have recovered most of my spiritual power, the journey there is still very long. Once winter has fully arrived, even I will find it difficult to enter. So we must leave as soon as possible."

"I know you understand, don't you?" Jun Qi suddenly lowered his head and touched Xu Qiaoqiao's nose, his voice slightly doting.

Xu Qiaoqiao laughed, her eyes brimming with joy. She nodded heavily at Jun Qi, and the fluffy little guy's smile was simply too adorable.

I'll listen to you.

Xu Qiaoqiao said this in her heart, even though she knew Jun Qi couldn't hear her.
