Perhaps it was the word "climbing into bed" that opened up Tan Taibei's mind, because he directly climbed onto the inside of Nan Qing's bed and looked at her from the side.

“Master said I was trying to climb into bed, so this disciple will obey.”

Nan Qing was almost amused by his antics, so she turned to the side and pinched his cheek.

"Why didn't you listen when I told you to go back to sleep?"

Dan Taipei reached out again and quietly tugged at the hem of her master's robe, feigning grievance as she said:

"I can only fall asleep when I'm with my master..."

Nan Qing realized that she always seemed unable to resist this person's pitiful act, so she didn't say anything to send him away.

"Alright, alright, can you go to sleep now?"

After saying that, she closed her eyes. This little brat's emotions changed too quickly; she needed to let him process it...

Meanwhile, Taipei watched her through the moonlight.

His master didn't reject him....

This realization made his heart flutter. Gradually, the hand that was clutching his master's clothes moved forward slowly, stopped, and then, not noticing, continued to move forward.

Is it alright to touch Master?

He touched it when he was a child...

I can secretly put my arm around my master's waist without being noticed, right?

Even if I get caught, it's fine; at most, I'll get a scolding from my master.

So, his arm slowly wrapped around her like a snake, first loosely embracing her, then gently pressing against her, and finally rubbing his whole body against her.

From the corner of his clothes to a loose embrace, and now to pressing his entire body tightly against his master's, he was like a gluttonous cat, gradually embedding himself into his master's silhouette.

Nan Qing: "..."

Does he have some misunderstanding about the tribulation period?

The next day, Dan Taipei went to Zhengqing Peak in a great mood, but when he returned at noon and prepared lunch, he found that Lingfeng Cliff was deserted, with only the hammock swaying in the wind.

She went to the sword-training platform, but it was deserted. Even the hot spring in the back mountain that she often visited was just a pool of still water.

"Master?"

He searched the entire Ling Shuang Peak, but still no one answered.

Finally, Tan Taibei found a note left by Nan Qing on the table in the bedroom.

I'm going to the mortal realm for a few days of fun and training. Please be careful.

Tan Taipei held the note in his hand, his eyes gradually darkening.

Yesterday, his master indulged his insolence, and today he ran away.

"Oh....."

He suddenly chuckled softly, carefully smoothed out the slightly wrinkled piece of plain paper in his hand, and then, as if nothing had happened, left the bedroom and finished all the spiritual dishes he had just prepared, as well as the cedar wine that his master loved to drink.

Meanwhile, Nan Qing sat in a teahouse in the mortal realm, listening to a storyteller tell tales, with a small bird or beast perched on the table.

[Host...you ran away again, isn't that a bit inappropriate...?]

"What's wrong with it? What's wrong with me going out for fun?"

"You don't want to play? I can send you back to Ling Shuang Peak~~"

"I think it's more interesting outside. Look at that old storyteller, his beard twitches, and he's spitting all over the teacups of those people in front of him!"

"That's why I should sit further away."

[The host is still the smartest~~]

In Xiao Ba's mind, whose values ​​follow his appearance, nothing is bigger than his beautiful host!

As long as the host is happy, even kicking that man away is just because he's useless and can't please his beautiful host.

Unlike Little Eight, whose host takes him everywhere he goes.

[Host, I want to eat those yellow pastries.]

Nan Qing glanced at the table next to her, then beckoned to the teahouse waiter:

"One serving of chestnut cake, and five more to go."

The human and the beast had a great time in the mortal realm, buying lots of food and strange trinkets. But on the sixth day, Nanqing received a communication talisman.

"Uncle-Master, come back immediately! Junior Brother is in trouble!"

The voice of Master Qinghe came from the talisman. Nanqing immediately stopped smiling, grabbed Xiao Ba, and tore open the void to step inside.

Nan Qing landed directly in the main hall of Zhengqing Peak. As soon as he emerged from the void, he saw that everyone in the hall had a serious expression, and there were also several disciples who were seriously injured.

"What is it?"

She looked directly at Qinghe Zhenren, her face expressionless.

Upon seeing his junior master, Master Qinghe took a deep breath and said:

"During this training trip down the mountain, we were ambushed by the demons. My junior brother fought them all alone to protect the other disciples. I checked his soul lamp, and it was still lit, but... he must have been seriously injured."

Who is from the Demon Realm?

"That person claimed to be Ye Tian, ​​the young master of the Demon Realm."

Knowing who was responsible, Nan Qing stopped talking and stepped into the void without looking back.

Demons, Demon Palace.

Demon Lord Xue Wuqiu was enjoying the gentle feeding from the demon girl.

Suddenly, the entire demon palace trembled violently, teetering on the brink of collapse, as if it were about to crumble at any moment.

Xue Wuqiu glared with his bloodshot eyes and pushed away the beauty in his arms.

"Who dares to be so insolent in my Demon Palace!"

After leaving the Demon Palace, Xue Wuqiu immediately spotted the figure standing in mid-air.

"Master Lingxiao of the Qingyun Sect?"

"Ling Xiao, you came to my Demon Palace to cause trouble. Do you think my Demon Palace is afraid of your Qingyun Sect?"

Xue Wuqiu stood directly opposite Nan Qing, his body surging with demonic energy, his blood-red eyes filled with extreme ferocity.

Where is Ye Tian?

Nan Qing didn't want to waste words with him. Just now, her divine sense had swept across the entire Demon Realm, but there was not a trace of Taipei's aura, which made her feel very bad.

Xue Wuqiu was clearly unaware of the impending disaster. Ling Shuang had been famous for hundreds of years, and he had naturally dealt with her before. However, he was also in the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. If he could leave unscathed after this disturbance of his Demon Palace, he would probably become the biggest joke in the Demon Realm!

"Ling Shuang, you trespassed into my Demon Palace and dared to question me! You're courting death!"

Xue Wuqiu suddenly waved his hand, and thousands of demonic blades appeared out of thin air, directly attacking Nan Qing.

But Nanqing simply raised one hand, clenched his five fingers, and before those demonic blades could even get close, they exploded, turning into wisps of demonic energy that dissipated into the void.

At the same time, an extremely cold aura emanated from her body, and white frost spread wildly outward from her feet.

One zhang, three zhang, ten zhang...

In just a few breaths, a thousand miles were frozen solid.

Within the Demon Palace's territory, it became an "Absolute Ice Domain" completely controlled by Nan Qing.

She teleported to Xue Wuqiu, who was already unable to move, and the ferocity in her eyes was even greater than that in Xue Wuqiu's.

"I'll ask you one more time, where is Ye Tian?"

Her voice was still not loud, and there wasn't much emotion in it, but Xiao Ba, who was standing on her shoulder, only dared to shrink his small body, and even wished he could turn himself into a speck of dust.

It had never seen a host like this before....

Xue Wuqiu, who was being stared at by her, felt a chill run down his spine.

Having lived for thousands of years and slaughtered countless lives, he had never known what fear was. Yet now, he couldn't control the tremor that came from the depths of his soul, and was even so terrified that he couldn't speak.

"I...I'll call him here right away..."
