The red fur on its head swayed from side to side.

"He was struck by lightning and died."

The little dumpling remembered the thunder just now, "Boss, you're amazing, you can even make thunder."

"Ha ha."

"I need to rest."

Qin Luo goes to bed early and gets up early every day, never staying up late. He falls asleep as soon as he hits the bed. The room is very simple, with only a bed. Moonlight streams into the room through the broken window.

The little dumpling felt the dim room become brighter. It wanted to snuggle into Qin Luo's arms to sleep, but it touched the cold jade pendant and was instantly thrown away as if struck by lightning.

"Chu mi chu mi!"

The little dumpling cried for help and flapped its wings to leave Qin Luo's room, realizing that its boss's embrace was dangerous.

Qin Luo was sleeping soundly.

Next door, Ziyue was also fast asleep. There was a faint light between her brows, and her body was enveloped in the light. Although she was sleeping, the Five Qi Gathering Method was still in operation.

Late at night, Zhang Fulong left his room and went to the main hall of the Taoist temple, gazing at the portrait of the Taoist patriarch high above.

“Master, who would have thought that a junior with the same talent as you would appear in Longhu Temple? With the blessing of great fortune, he may become someone who surpasses you.”

......

The next day, early morning.

The little dumpling is singing in the yard.

Ziyue was awakened by its "singing". She rubbed her eyes, got up, and went to the water tank to get water to wash up.

A little monkey carrying a lot of fruit jumped into the yard and bumped into Ziyue, who was rinsing her mouth. They stared at each other, and the scene was surprisingly quiet.

"Senior brother was right after all."

"hello!"

Ziyue took the initiative to greet her.

The little monkey nodded weakly, placed the fruit wrapped in lotus leaves on the table, bent over, and said timidly, "Little fairy, the bear king sent me to deliver this fruit."

"Wow, you can talk?"

Ziyue blinked her bright, watery eyes.

The little monkey scratched its head, its face innocent and honest. "When I was little, I accidentally ate a strange fruit, which awakened my intelligence. I often played around the village, so I learned to talk."

"I see."

Ziyue observed the little monkey and noticed that it looked more like a human, except that it had a lot of hair.

Where do you live?

"I have no home."

The little monkey was an orphan, homeless, and wandering in the mountains. Ziyue felt sorry for the little monkey after hearing this.

What's your name?

Everyone calls me Little Monkey.

"Little monkey, my name is Ziyue, you can call me Sister Ziyue. Thank you for the fruit. You can come to Longhu Temple to play often in the future." Ziyue smiled sweetly.

The little monkey felt that Qin Luo and Zi Yue were both very nice, and that Longhu Temple wasn't as scary as Boss Xiong had described. It said respectfully, "Sister Zi Yue, I still need to go back and report to the Bear King. I'll come back to play again when I have time."

"Who is the Bear King?"

"The Bear King is my boss. He's a huge black bear, the demon king of the mountains, and he's incredibly powerful!"

"Is he as good as my senior brother?"

"No."

The little monkey shook its head.

"hey-hey!"

Ziyue raised her proud little face.

"Sister Ziyue, I'm leaving now!"

"Remember to come visit."

"OK."

The little monkey jumped out of the yard and left.

Hearing the commotion outside, Qin Luo went into the courtyard, and the little dumpling landed on his shoulder.

"Senior brother, I got up earlier than you today."

Zi Yue happily put her hands on her hips.

Qin Luo gently rubbed Zi Yue's head. "Junior Sister, it's not easy for you to get up early."

"Senior brother, I also saw a little monkey. It can even talk. It brought all this fruit." Ziyue placed the washed fruit in front of Qin Luo.

Qin Luo looked at the various fruits in the basket. These fruits were scattered throughout the mountains, and the fact that they could be delivered to Longhu Temple overnight proved that Xiong Shan and the little monkey had put a lot of effort into it.

Xiong Shan is a demon king, so he probably won't be traveling much. That little monkey is very honest, but it has probably been on many journeys. Qin Luo likes that little monkey quite a bit; it's very intelligent and clever.

"Junior Sister, this sachet is for you." Qin Luo held a few sachets sewn from scraps of cloth in his hand.

Zi Yue's bright, sparkling eyes shone as she took the sachet, treating it like a precious treasure. She held it to her nose and inhaled its fragrance. "It smells so good, Senior Brother. Did you make this yourself?"

"Yes, it's just not good-looking."

"It looks good, I like it."

Ziyue hung the sachet around her waist, then tiptoed around in the courtyard, giggling incessantly.

The sachet contains a piece of primordial leaf; wearing it regularly is beneficial to health.

Inside the jade pendant.

The purple-haired fairy looked on with envy.

She rose from humble beginnings, with no one to rely on.

"Chu mi chu mi".

The little dumpling came to Ziyue's side asking for food.

Ziyue cut the fruit into small pieces and fed them to the little dumpling.

Qin Luo took out his gourd and drank the collected morning dew. Then he went to the kitchen to cook porridge for his junior sister. While cooking the porridge, he chopped firewood in the yard. After chopping the firewood, he went down the mountain to fetch water.

Life is full of trivialities.

Qin Luo found it amusing. When he carried the bucket back up the mountain, he encountered people who were going up the mountain to pray for blessings.

The plump middle-aged woman asked curiously, "Master, have you ever thought about getting married and having children?"

"I've thought about it."

"I thought you people didn't have emotions or desires."

"Immortals are also human."

"Master, I am a matchmaker from Mirror Lake Village. I know many beautiful girls and I can introduce you to some."

"My requirements might be a bit high."

The middle-aged woman nodded, "That's true. With your status as a celestial master, how could a girl from the mountains be worthy of you?"

"That's not necessarily true."

Qin Luo did not look down on the village girl.

An elderly man, leaning on a wooden cane, stood resting in the mountains, his body hunched over. "Master," he asked, "what is the meaning of a person's life?"

Qin Luo hadn't thought about this question. He pondered for a moment, "Life is fleeting, like grass and trees in autumn. I don't know what its meaning is. Just being alive is enough. Look how beautiful this sunrise is."

The old man looked up at the clouds dyed red by the morning glow. Color appeared in his cloudy eyes, and a smile appeared on his aged face. "Yes, this morning glow is really beautiful."

Sunset Peak.

It's a great place to enjoy the sunset.

"If you're tired, please take a rest."

"Alright, alright, take care, Immortal Master."

Qin Luo carried the bucket back to Longhu Temple.

The old man gazed at the fiery red clouds, his eyes reflecting the glow of the sunset. Never before had he felt such a longing for the human world.
