early morning.

The morning glow falls on Black Mountain.

The morning mist in the mountains dissipated with the wind.

Qin Luo opened his eyes. Deep within his eyes, Yin and Yang energies flowed. Last night, a hundred ghosts roamed the night, and evil energy soared to the sky. He had some insights. After absorbing a large amount of Yin energy, Yin and Yang within his body were in harmony, and Qin Luo felt closer to this world.

"So refreshing!" Qin Luo felt invigorated, as if he had broken free from the shackles of heaven and earth and merged with them.

Inside the jade pendant.

The purple-haired fairy's figure became increasingly realistic as she received nourishment from the energy of heaven and earth in Qin Luo's arms.

Qin Luo stood up and stretched.

In Chen Chang'an's eyes, Qin Luo's back looked very tall, like a majestic mountain.

"Chang'an, I will come to see you again in the future."

"Brother Qin, let me see you off."

Chen Chang'an accompanied Qin Luo to Chenjiagou.

"That's enough to leave it here."

Qin Luo then took a step forward and disappeared from sight; even Chen Chang'an, who had become the mountain god, couldn't see him clearly.

Shuanghe Village.

Qin Luo appeared on the bridge.

Master said that only by being down-to-earth can one go further. Qin Luo traveled thousands of miles in the Inner Realm and finally realized the secret of shrinking the earth into an inch.

"Senior brother!"

Ziyue quickly ran over.

She got up early and packed her bags.

"Dad, Mom, I'll come back to see you during the New Year."

Ziyue waved goodbye to her family, and Zimu said with reluctance, "Little Yue'er, you must take good care of yourself, listen to your senior brother and master, cultivate diligently, and don't be lazy."

"I know."

Zi Yue nodded heavily.

Her face beamed with joy.

Su Rong still remembers that Zi Yue left crying the first time she went to Longhu Temple, but now she is very happy.

Qin Luo is here.

Zi Mu and Su Rong were very relieved.

On the mountain path, Ziyue hummed a song, her petite body carrying a large bundle on her back.

"Junior sister, give me your bag."

"Senior brother, I can carry it."

Ziyue raised her little face.

Her face was clean, radiant, and confident.

Half an hour later, Qin Luo and the others had walked quite a distance when Zi Yue suddenly noticed Da Huang following behind. With a serious expression, she said, "Da Huang, don't follow me, hurry back."

"Woof woof woof!"

Big Yellow continued to follow behind.

Zi Yue stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide and her expression fierce. "Stupid dog, there are people in town who eat dog meat."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Big Yellow tucked its tail between its legs and ran back.

"hey-hey."

Ziyue winked playfully at her senior brother. She couldn't even get enough to eat at the Dragon Tiger Temple, let alone raise a dog.

Qingshui Town.

The town was bustling.

Ziyue took out the only copper coin she had from her bosom.

Even a copper coin is money; it can buy a lot of food, like two steamed buns or a string of candied hawthorns.

Ziyue saw a little girl squatting by the roadside begging. She was disheveled, dressed in rags, and had a broken bowl in front of her that was empty. She looked very pitiful.

"I'm so hungry."

"Can someone give me some food?"

The little girl's voice was trembling with tears. The street was bustling, but no one paid any attention to her.

"for you."

Ziyue put the copper coin into the bowl.

"Thank you, miss."

"You're welcome."

Ziyue left happily.

She herself was struggling to get enough to eat, yet she still offered a helping hand. Qin Luo knew that his junior sister was kind-hearted.

Qin Luo paused briefly and saw the little girl hide the copper coins from the broken bowl, then continue to play the victim.

We passed through Qingshui Town.

Nestled in the mountains surrounded by flowing water.

Qin Luo suddenly spoke up, "Junior Sister, that girl just now had such vigorous energy and ate better than you."

Ziyue was humming a song and in a good mood, but upon hearing this, she tilted her head, her expression blank, then stomped her foot, puffed out her cheeks, and almost cried out in anger, "Damn it, she's a liar! Give me back my candied hawthorn!"

"Junior sister, you need to be more careful in the future."

"Uh-huh."

Ziyue pouted.

Soon, she forgot what had just happened, and continued tugging at foxtail grass and humming a song as she walked.

When they reached the foot of Luoxia Peak, a small sparrow landed on Qin Luo's shoulder. It looked like a little fluffy ball, with snow-white feathers and a tuft of red feathers on its head.

"I've heard you're very capable."

The little titmouse scrutinized Qin Luo up close.

"Maybe."

Qin Luo reached out and stroked the little sparrow's head.

The little tit didn't flinch. It blinked its eyes, wearing a silly and cute expression, "From now on, you'll be my boss, and I'll follow you, okay?"

What's in it for me?

Qin Luo looked at the cute little titmouse.

The little tit scratched the red feathers on its head with its wings, deep in thought, "I can catch insects for you."

"I don't eat insects."

"Then I'll sing you a song."

"Chirp chirp..."

"Too noisy."

They were rejected without hesitation.

The little titmouse drooped its head.

Seeing its appearance, Qin Luo couldn't help but chuckle. "I see you guys like gossip, so you should know what's going on in the mountains. Help me gather intelligence from now on, and I'll protect you."

"Great, boss!"

The little titmouse nodded happily.

It has many sisters and is very well-informed.

Hearing the chirping sound, Zi Yue turned to look at her senior brother and saw the little sparrow on his shoulder. She was both surprised and delighted. "Senior brother, are you talking to it?"

"That's right."

Qin Luo nodded.

Zi Yue loves cute little animals the most. "What an adorable little titmouse! Senior brother, what's its name?"

"My name is Little Dumpling."

The little titmouse puffed out its chest in response.

Most animals can't understand human speech, but the little dumpling can understand what Ziyue is saying, proving that it has a spiritual nature.

"Its name is Little Dumpling."
