The little cutie burped contentedly and trotted back to gnaw on the eggshell it had left behind when it first hatched, crunching away with great relish.

Yunqi: "This...this is a Pixiu?!"

"Um."

"I never expected it to be a Pixiu?!"

Just then, the Seven Wind Wolf returned with grass in its mouth. Seeing the little Pixiu, it was naturally afraid and lay prostrate, not daring to take a step closer.

Xiao Mo instructed the Pixiu to conceal its aura, then summoned the Seven Wind Wolf and took the grass from its mouth to examine it…

Yunqi: "This is an herb that can counteract the toxins of the toad. You can take it directly. Your poisoning isn't severe; eating two leaves should be enough."

Xiao Mo plucked two leaves and swallowed them, then patted the wolf's head: "Thank you for making the special trip back."

Seven Wind Wolf squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

The Pixiu on the side was unhappy and showed its belly to Xiao Mo, begging for a pat. Its little voice also let out a "woof" at the Seven Wind Wolf.

The Seven Winds Wolf immediately knelt down, ignoring Xiao Mo, and ran away with its tail between its legs...

Yunqi laughed: "The little Pixiu got jealous when it saw you touching the Seven Winds Wolf..."

Xiao Mo: "Never mind it. Senior Chu, how should we pick this Nine Spirit Ginseng?"

"Clear the surrounding soil, being careful not to damage its roots. The Nine Spirit Ginseng is most effective when picked whole! Those nine spirit fruits are its seeds, which we don't need. Pick them and scatter them around the area, hoping they will grow into new Nine Spirit Ginseng in the future."

Xiao Mo nodded, scattered the seeds around, carefully cleaned the excess soil from the roots of the Nine Spirit Ginseng, and put the Nine Spirit Ginseng away in a jade box to prevent its medicinal effects from being lost.

After the little Pixiu finished eating the eggshell, it jumped into Xiao Mo's arms and acted coquettishly.

This is so cute! Yunqi watched the little Pixiu act cute and cuddly, its soft, smooth fur making her want to pet it...

"Xiao Mo, does the little Pixiu have a name yet?"

"Not yet, Senior Chu, what do you think would be a good name?"

"You should name your mythical beast yourself. If I were to name it 'Little Pi' or 'Little Xiu,' I bet it wouldn't be happy."

Xiao Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Then... let's call him Wuxie, Xiao Wuxie."

"Wu Xie? Xiao Wu Xie?" Little Wu Xie? Innocent and naive? Yun Qi was inexplicably delighted, "This name is great! I like it!"

The little Pixiu rubbed against Xiao Mo, clearly liking the name as well.

"Now that we have the Nine Spirit Ginseng, let's go back."

"Um."
