This guy is always running around!
Children can wander around freely, but she can't just run around in other people's houses.
Zhao Xi hesitated for a moment, then quickly cooked the dish and brought it back to the main room.
The little fairy wind is nowhere to be found.
Shan Shan brought Ling Mu back from the quiet room.
"Do you know you were wrong now? In the Beast Garden, you should follow the rules. Regardless of whether our headmaster is a mortal or not, you have to listen to her! I'll say it again, there is no ranking of disciples in the Beast Garden. My combat strength is now much higher than Xiao Jia's. You only succeeded this time because of your sneak attack. Look, you've ruined all my magic treasures. You have to compensate me for these spirit stones. Headmaster is here. Thank you for your hard work! Actually, Master doesn't eat. She probably only tasted one bite, but in the end, I got the benefit."
Ling Mu reverted to human form, her hands bound behind her back with the Immortal Binding Rope. There were several obvious bruises on her body, likely from the beating she received from Feng Xiaoyao, but they weren't too serious for a cultivator. However, she was listless and her eyes were unfocused, as if she had suffered some kind of mental attack.
Upon seeing Zhao Xixiang, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Kill me!"
"..." Zhao Xi wanted to walk to the table and put down the assorted stir-fried spiritual plants.
Shan Shan, repairing the magical artifact that Ling Mu had just destroyed, looked up upon hearing this: "Why did I kill you? What good would it do? Your demon core is broken, how could I use it to refine medicine? Headmistress is beautiful and kind-hearted, she wouldn't do such a thing, unless you regress into a demon beast. But even then, your flesh wouldn't taste good..."
Another long and rambling speech.
Ling Mu struggled violently: "Let me die!! Mortal, stew me now! Hurry up!"
"…………"
Stewing it would be alright...
Before Shan Shan could ask any more questions about the dish, Zhao Xi tried to interrupt, "Did you see... a little toad?"
It wasn't that we were deliberately hiding Guagua's existence, but rather that Shanshan, being such a big mouth, was just too talkative.
I had to watch out for his gossip before, but now it seems he's even worse.
If he finds out about this, the entire Hundred Beasts Garden and Five Spirits Hall will know the next day that she and the Water God have a child.
Guagua is her and Linche's child, and she could very well become a weakness that others might use to threaten them. They must keep her hidden to protect her from harm.
"Toad?"
Shanshan had just fainted and had just finished recuperating after waking up. The little mermaid and Zhao Xi thought the scent was similar, so he didn't notice her presence.
Zhao Xi nodded: "Yes, I brought a pet toad in, but I didn't use the beast-taming ring, and it's gone now. Could you help me look for it?"
"No, this is Master's house, I can't just barge in. I'll go ask Master, she'll know where the toad is right away."
Shanshan left the main room to find the little fairy Feng.
The main room suddenly fell silent.
"Thank you." Ling Mu seemed relieved that Shan Shan had left. She looked Zhao Xi up and down and asked, "What kind of magic weapon did you use to block the spell? This magic weapon is very powerful."
Zhao Xi naturally wouldn't answer, and given her fondness for Ling Mu, she simply couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention.
She glanced at Ling Mu's injuries: "It seems you didn't kill Shan Shan."
Feng Xiaoyao is very protective of Shanshan. If his life is truly in danger, even if Zhao Xi tries to persuade him, Ling Mu will not only suffer physical pain.
"I was just trying to scare him!" Ling Mu sighed, lowered his head, his bangs drooping down, and said weakly, "I thought the Hundred Beast Garden in the Lower Immortal Realm was just a place to raise demonic beasts. I didn't expect it to be a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with so many experts. I will lead my people to live obediently on the mountain and no longer cause trouble."
Zhao Xi thought, "You've given in now, but once we let you go, you'll be unreasonable again."
Ling Mu raised his head, looking at Zhao Xi with admiration and respect, thinking, "No way. The Wind God and the Water God are very powerful. For a mortal like you to have such powerful helpers, I admire you! I will never dare to act recklessly again."
"What is that?" Zhao Xi thought in surprise.
It seems Ling Mu has been eavesdropping on quite a few of Lin Che's lessons, which is why she has rekindled her reverence for the gods. But she didn't understand—what wind god?
Ling Mu was surprised: "Don't you know? The white-haired woman is the Wind Goddess."
"have no idea."
Ling Mu was awake when he entered the house, but deliberately closed his eyes: "There is no illusion array in the garden corridor, but by combining the Way of Wind and the Way of Water, a natural illusion array can be formed, which can make people lose their way without the need for spiritual energy. If the Wind God had not come to pick you up in person, you would have walked until you were starving and still not found the exit."
Zhao Xi nodded: "Indeed, some buildings are naturally deceptive, like the Hive. Once you go in, you might not be able to get out. It's probably related to the feng shui layout."
Ling Mu didn't care that she was a mortal at this moment. He was very patient, and perhaps to gain favor with her so that she would stop Shan Shan from nagging him, he gave her a brief explanation of feng shui, the way of wind, and the way of water.
The celestial realm is, after all, the celestial realm; not everything can be viewed through the lens of mortal thinking.
Zhao Xi was completely confused, but she wasn't interested to begin with, so she just gave a few perfunctory replies.
Shanshan is back: "Headmistress, Master is busy watering the flowers and told you to go find them yourself."
"Won't that be inconvenient?"
"She let it go, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Then you'll come with me."
“But my master told me to stay in the main room and watch over her. She also told me to repair all these jade talismans and jade slips.”
"..."
Since that's the case, it's no wonder she was impolite.

After leaving the main hall, Zhao Xi wanted to step back into the winding corridor.
Knowing there are no ghosts or monsters, I'm not afraid to walk alone anymore.
She took the moon-colored pearl from her neck and used it to sense the little mermaid's presence.
"Guagua, where are you? Come out quickly."
Feeling a little embarrassed to break the silence, she didn't speak loudly.
The wind lifted the light gauze curtains, and the beams and pillars on both sides of the corridor seemed to shimmer faintly.
Could that be the light from the water ripples?
But there was no pond in the garden.
Having just been given a lecture by Ling Mu on the rules of wind and water, I realized that the feeling of the water ripples was strangely familiar.
Ripples...
There are countless kinds of water in the world, but there is only one kind of water that is the purest.
It was also what she was most familiar with.
Zhao Xi narrowed her eyes, sensing what was about to happen, her heart pounding.
The Moon Essence in my hand is shining.
The little mermaid is nearby.
Just as Zhao Xi was about to call for Guagua, she suddenly saw the light gauze being lifted by the wind, and the little wind fairy was in the garden on one side.
In this garden, rare and precious plants are blooming in all their splendor.
Golden tree ferns, a whole orchid with dark blue crested crown, a low shrub bearing more than a dozen different colored fruits, and even the Spirit Snow Rabbit that Zhao Xi had tried twice to obtain but failed.
There is a formation on the ground, and the placement of these spiritual plants is particular.
A man in elegant white robes moved slowly through the formation, carrying a watering can. After sprinkling some water on the seven-colored spirit fruit, he moved on to the next man-eating flower.
