The man-eating plant, with its gaping maw, awaits its prey.
He reached out his hand to the little fairy next to him.
Without saying a word, Feng Xiaoyao skillfully found a jar of insects in the large cloth bag she was carrying and gave him a pair of chopsticks.
Without turning his head, he took the jar, picked up a few wriggling worms, and stuffed them into the buds of the man-eating flower.
This move seems to have been practiced hundreds of times, otherwise it wouldn't be so perfectly synchronized.
On his shoulder, a frog the size of a fingernail croaked incessantly.
Lin Che's voice was deep and magnetic, but amidst the fragrance of flowers, the moisture, and the gentle breeze, it sounded ironic to Zhao Xi.
He commanded, "—Don't tell Mother I'm here."
"Croak~"
He threatened, "Do you still want to turn back into a mermaid?"
"Croak!"
"Then you can all turn into toads from now on, anyway, my children won't miss you."
"Guagua!!" Guagua cried out a few times, then jumped off him in a wronged manner and crawled back into the corridor from under the curtain.
Then she froze.
Quack! ...
What are you doing here, Mother?!
Zhao Xi wanted to squat down, send the frog-shaped little mermaid back to the Moonlight Nest, and then turn it back into a pearl to hang around her neck.
It seems that Feng Xiaoxiaojing was the one who discovered Lin Che.
Is this a declaration of sovereignty?
No, they shouldn't. If they really wanted to be explicit, they could have shown her something even more infuriating. But right now, they're just watering the plants and tending to the garden.
Those are rare spiritual plants, perhaps part of the Linche Living Being Array.
I am just an ordinary person, and I may not tell myself everything.
Zhao Xi paused for a moment in front of the light gauze curtain, then lifted it and stepped outside the formation with a smile: "Oh, A-Che, you've come to visit too?"
Lin Che paused, his hand holding the watering can, turned around, looked at her in surprise, and then looked at Feng Xiaoyao.
I didn't see it clearly just now.
Upon seeing the watering can in Lin Che's hand, Zhao Xi was even more certain now.
This is a design she brought from her own world, while immortals prefer to use magical artifacts or monsters to water plants.
On the contrary, these great deities prefer natural things that don't need spiritual energy, and they especially like things with carpentry mechanisms inside.
With this thing there, there's no point in hiding it.
He must have stayed in the Fairy Wind's cave for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have collected so many spiritual plants to water the garden.
He seemed to notice this and put down the watering can, turning to the side to block it. On his handsome face, there was a clear hint of panic in his amber eyes, but he covered it up with a calm smile and said slowly, "Little Fairy Feng asked me to tend the garden, and there's still half left to do. Let's go back together after I finish watering."
Zhao Xi turned her head to look at the formation.
More than half of them still haven't been watered, but Lin Che was gone this morning.
"Then you can continue with your work. I'll take the kids home first."
Before Lin Che could answer, she turned around hastily and strode away from the corridor.
Their pace was even faster than when they first arrived.
"Croak~"
The little mermaid made unintelligible cries from her moonlit nest.
Zhao Xi didn't understand what she was saying, but she said succinctly, "I can't beat her right now."
Little Mermaid: "…………"

Zhao Xi wanted to return to the foot of the mountain, where Xiao Jia had already relocated the entire pangolin demon clan back to Xuanwu Mountain. At that moment, Xiao Jia, Tong Yue, and several Five Spirits Hall cultivators were using magical artifacts to restore the landscape.
"Headmistress, you don't look well. What's wrong?" Tongyue noticed her first, put down her magic shovel, and flew towards her.
"fine."
She cannot fly on her sword within Lingxiu Peak, but Lin Che can.
After handing Lingmu over to Xiaojia, Zhao Xi returned to the treehouse halfway up the mountain in the Hundred Beasts Garden.
As soon as the door closed, Lin Che transformed into a cloud of water vapor and floated in, landing on the ground and condensing into a human shape.
Zhao Xi was distracted. She picked up the map on the table and flipped through it a few times. When she saw Lin Che follow her, she lowered her eyes and stared at the map.
He landed on the table: "Xi Xiang."
Zhao Xixiang didn't even look up: "Do you want me to explain what you're going to say next?"
Lin Che remained silent.
Zhao Xi frowned and looked up at him.
He said, "I can't explain it. I haven't figured out how to tell you."
Zhao Xi thought, "Didn't I come up with a good excuse?"
Lin Che said calmly, "That's not the case, but I hope you can believe me. She and I are not in a Daoist relationship."
If they're not in a Daoist couple relationship, then there must be something else going on. And why can't she know about this relationship, and why does he need to fabricate reasons for it?
Zhao Xi was puzzled and scoffed, "This is something I, as a mortal, cannot hear; only you immortals can know it?"
Lin Che was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."
"………………"
Zhao Xi wanted to open the map and move the location of the pangolin clan from Lingxiu Peak back to Xuanwu Mountain. She slammed the booklet shut, slapped it back to its original position, and turned to leave the treehouse.
When they left, they rode their swords to the Five Spirits Hall, with a cloud of water vapor following closely behind them.
She stopped in mid-air and turned around from the spirit sword: "Don't follow me."
Lin Che did not leave, nor did he try to be clever or witty: "Let me think about it. I do have something to tell you. In a few days."
A few days later, and then a few more days later.
Zhao Xi looked at the Great Immortal with a sorrowful expression.
He was dressed in white, and his features were handsome.
"All I want is for you to stay with me for the next hundred years, yet you're hiding things from me. What is it that you can't tell me?"
Lin Che pursed his lips and remained silent, like a child who had done something wrong. He gently smoothed his sleeves, not daring to look directly at her.
Zhao Xi wanted to sigh.
