After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Bai Meixi dragged Wang Zheng to play games again.
After Bai Shi tidied up the table, he stood silently behind the two of them and only spoke when the game ended.
"Wang Zheng, can I talk to you for a bit?"
Bai Mei glared at her father with displeasure, complaining that he had interrupted her and her friends' game time.
Teacher Bai smiled apologetically at Bai Meixi and gently explained, "It'll only be a little while. Dad wants to talk to Wang about something."
Wang Zheng looked at the man in front of him, wondering what he wanted to say. Then, amidst Bai Meixi's muttering, the two stood at the door.
Gazing at the beautiful scenery in the distance, Wang Zheng shook his head and refused the cigarette that Bai Shi offered him.
He was still a little surprised.
'I never expected Master Bai to smoke. He looks like a reclusive sage, yet he indulges in both smoking and drinking.'
Master Bai ignored Wang Zheng's refusal, casually lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled.
His handsome appearance, dashing demeanor, melancholy eyes, lonely expression, and sexy stubble, combined with his deep and magnetic voice, all contributed to his striking good looks.
Wang Zheng thought that if Nan Fengyi were here, she would definitely be infatuated with him again. He felt that the reason why the Tiger of Beijiang was able to live in seclusion on this mountain with Master Bai was at least 90% due to his face.
While Wang Zheng was lost in thought, Bai Shi's deep voice interrupted his reverie.
"Wang Zheng, since your Principal Chu allowed you to come here, he must have told you some inside information, right? Like my identity? Xiao Bai's background?"
Wang Zheng nodded and replied, "They didn't plan to tell me at first, but I could sense that Bai was different. I noticed that she was different from us from the first day of school. Later, because she invited me to visit, the principal told me about you."
Seeing Wang Zheng nod, he continued, "So what do you think of the alien beasts, or rather, what do you think of me, and what do you think of Xiaobai?"
Then his pupils turned golden, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Seeing his unusual behavior, Wang Zheng remained calm: "I think it's fine. If we can coexist peacefully, there's no need for fighting and killing."
At first, I thought this invitation had some special meaning, but after arriving here, it turns out I was overthinking it; it's fine as it is.
Master Bai sighed.
"Yes, it's good. It's just a pity that some people don't understand. I also hope that Xiaobai can grow up healthily and I don't want her to be exposed to these things too early."
But she's getting older, and I can't keep her locked up on the mountain forever. She needs companions, she needs people her own age. Wang Zheng, I'm hoping you can help take care of her at the school, is that alright?
"no problem!"
Wang Zheng pounded his chest loudly.
"But Uncle Bai, could you tell me more about the alien beasts? I'm very curious why they have such a strong hatred for humans."
Master Bai pointed to his chest.
“They are different from me. It’s not easy for a new life form to gain recognition. In the early days of the spiritual revival, our existence was nothing more than talking beasts to humans.”
I was very lucky to meet Fengyi at the beginning of my transformation. She taught me how to let go of hatred and how to live with humans.
But what about the other strange beasts?
Moreover, before I met her, I traveled south from the Arctic continent, and I was hunted down in every place I went. Many people were after my inner core.
If this is the case after transformation, what about the strange beasts that are still in animal form?
According to your strength classification, ordinary exotic beasts will awaken their intelligence upon reaching the fourth rank, regardless of their species.
Even deep in the mountains and forests, where they were fortunate enough to never suffer persecution from humans, their own kind would still tell them that humans were their natural enemies, constantly seeking the spiritual energy crystals within their bodies.
Wang Zheng keenly noticed that Master Bai still referred to the other demon kings as "strange beasts," which might mean that he actually acknowledged his human identity.
He quickly pressed on, asking, "Is the spiritual energy crystal the inner core you mentioned? And what is 'opening the mind'?"
