How could this happen?

Mu Linyuan chuckled self-deprecatingly.

His parents were both cultivators of the Demon Extermination Sect. He was diagnosed with spiritual roots at the age of three and formed his core at the age of fifteen. He was the only cultivator in the sect to attain immortality.

Three hundred years have passed since then, and he is revered as the patriarch by all his descendants.

I thought I had long since seen through the illusions of the world, but who knew that even today... I would still have such a dream.

That person's body... was so soft...

Her voice is also very pleasant.

Thinking of this, Mu Linyuan's ears turned a little red again.

He quickly interrupted his thoughts, picked up Feifei who was fast asleep beside him, put him in the makeshift cat bed made of a small wooden box, and tidied up the sandalwood couch that he had made a "mess".

I took the bed sheets and my undergarments outside and washed them together.

Only after doing all this were we ready to set off for the Zen temple.

Before leaving, she turned to look at Feifei in the small wooden box one last time, then asked, "Little beast, I'm going out for a day. Will you come with me?"

Si Jin hadn't slept all night and was now lying in her makeshift cat bed, lazily lifting her eyelids.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"Don't you want to go?" Mu Linyuan patted his head casually. "Alright then, you stay here and I'll come back to feed you at noon."

Si Jin nodded obediently.

Unexpectedly, when he looked up, several small red dots fell right into the eyes of the white-robed immortal.

Mu Linyuan was taken aback, and quickly turned Si Jin over, carefully parting the mane on her neck to take a look.

I actually found several small red dots, which looked like they had been bitten by some kind of insect, and they were quite dense.

Mu Linyuan frowned slightly.

When did his brocade palace in the clouds get infested with insects?

She reached out and touched Si Jin's neck, asking, "Does it hurt?"

The little cutie shook its head.

But she opened her eyes and looked at him, her glassy eyes full of interest, as if she were admiring something extremely interesting.

Mu Linyuan used his spiritual power to probe, but found nothing wrong with Si Jin.

Junxiu's brows furrowed even deeper: "Fine, I can't leave you here alone. Let's go and show Master Yundeng our beasts."

… …

In the end, Si Jin was still carried away by him.

Mu Linyuan flew on his sword to an ancient temple deep in the mountains, landing in the highest Zen courtyard.

He smiled and spoke to the white-bearded monk under the peach tree not far away.

"In April, when all the flowers in the human world have faded, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are just beginning to bloom. I long for spring's return, but find it nowhere; little did I know it had turned and come here. To appreciate the beauty of spring, one must come to your Pugui Temple."

Master Yundeng is nearly a thousand years old this year. He is a deity who descended to earth to build temples and shrines, all for the purpose of enlightening all living beings.

He met Mu Linyuan in the Immortal Realm, and they became close friends despite their age difference.

Just then, a cup of tea was poured: "Lin Yuan, I knew you would come. Did you run into some trouble?"

Mu Linyuan ascended to immortality at the age of twenty-eight, and his appearance remained at its most handsome age.

While petting the little beast in his arms, he walked over and sat down opposite Yun Deng, asking, "How did you know?"

"I foresaw that you'd be facing a romantic entanglement soon."

"I don't have any romantic encounters at all, it's all just my imagination. But the little beast I recently picked up..." Mu Linyuan said, lifting Si Jin's head from his arms for Yun Deng to see: "Take a look for me, why are there so many red spots on his neck? Is he sick?"

Yun Deng glanced at it from afar, her smile widening: "It's nothing, it was probably bitten by some little bug. You should clean up your Cloud Brocade Palace properly later."

He seemed to see through everything, but he refused to speak, instead pulling Mu Linyuan to drink tea with him.

Si Jin wasn't interested in Yun Deng's wormwood tea, so she jumped off Mu Lin Yuan's lap and ran into the peach grove.

Using his divine power, he escaped from the temple and returned to the town under the Demon-Slaying Sect. He transformed into human form, disguised himself as a newly initiated disciple, and prepared to ask for some pills to strengthen his spiritual roots.

He can now switch freely between human and beast forms, but his spiritual root is unstable and he still needs some mortal medicine to strengthen it.

But to everyone's surprise, as soon as they entered the store, they saw a group of new disciples of the Demon Extermination Sect who had not yet formally become disciples, surrounding a man like stars around the moon.

With eyes full of envy: "Si Jin, I heard you saved Sect Master Mu before. At this apprenticeship ceremony, will you be able to directly become Sect Master Mu's disciple? I'm so envious."
