"The Holy Maiden is in seclusion?" Xiao Feng was completely bewildered upon hearing the news from his disciple.
They just got back yesterday, so why is Su Xueqing in seclusion today?
Could it be that Su Xueqing was injured when she came out of the secret realm?
On the way back, apart from being a little quiet, Xiao Feng did not sense any unusual fluctuations from Su Xueqing.
Could it be that Su Xueqing encountered some problem when controlling the artifact?
She didn't say a word the whole way back so as not to worry everyone.
Su Xueqing's sudden seclusion left Xiao Feng somewhat bewildered.
He originally wanted to ask Su Xueqing why she had been avoiding him these past few days.
Now that Su Xueqing is in seclusion, Xiao Feng has no way to inquire further, so he can only go to Zhao Yuwei.
Because of the imprint on her primordial spirit, Zhao Yuwei could never calm down and cultivate.
If it weren't for Xiao Feng's constant companionship and guidance, Zhao Yuwei would have doubted whether she would have gone mad from her cultivation.
Xiao Feng carefully considered the ape-man's request. After releasing the ape-man again, he asked him what materials were needed to repair the teleportation array he mentioned, and where the teleportation array was located.
Xiao Feng began preparing for this rather troublesome solution.
Fortunately, the ape-man did not ask Xiao Feng to leave him outside like the Taotie did.
For the ape-man, as long as he could go back, it didn't matter even if his demonic power was sealed by Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng took Zhao Yuwei to the edge of the cliff.
The last time was right here. Xiao Feng absorbed all the toxins from Zhao Yuwei's body, then jumped into the sea below the cliff and disappeared for so long.
This time, the two came to the edge of the cliff again, sat there, and looked at the boundless sea.
"Senior Sister, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to remove the mark on your primordial spirit. As long as we can send the ape-man back to his original continent, the trouble will be resolved." Looking at the sullen Zhao Yuwei, Xiao Feng awkwardly tried to comfort her.
"It's not easy to find another continent, and besides, there's a teleportation array that needs repairing. A teleportation array that can span two continents must be very difficult to find, so I'm sorry to trouble you again." Zhao Yuwei looked at Xiao Feng apologetically.
Xiao Feng pulled Zhao Yuwei into his arms and gently soothed her uneasy emotions: "This is what I should do, and I do it willingly."
"If there are more resources on another continent, we can use the teleportation array to go and see it. This might not be a bad thing for us."
Zhao Yuwei knew that Xiao Feng was trying to comfort her.
Zhao Yuwei wrapped her arms around Xiao Feng's waist, buried her head in his chest, and listened quietly to his heartbeat, gradually feeling at ease.
With Xiao Feng's reassurance, Zhao Yuwei was able to calm down and resume her cultivation.
Xiao Feng also felt that his cultivation level was about to break through at any time, and he needed to find the opportunity for that breakthrough.
Unfortunately, Xiao Feng's life was disrupted by the Taotie.
Taotie seemed to hate staying in one place, and every now and then, when Xiao Feng stopped cultivating, he would ask Xiao Feng to take him around.
Xiao Feng had already taken him to all the places the Ming Cult could go, but Taotie was still not satisfied.
He longed for lively places and the life of humans.
"You said you wouldn't lock me up as long as I could give you benefits. Now you're just letting me wander around in this small place with you. What's the difference between that and locking me up?"
One night, Taotie angrily protested to Xiao Feng.
“You go to a new place every day. I’m starting to suspect that you’re planning to get familiar with the area so you can find a chance to escape from me,” Xiao Feng said speechlessly.
"How could you doubt me like that? If I wanted to escape from you, I would have run away long ago! I just didn't want to stay in this boring place. I've been locked in this secret realm for so many years, what's wrong with me coming out and running around? I haven't eaten anyone!"
Upon hearing Taotie's accusations, Xiao Feng's forehead twitched.
Helpless, Xiao Feng sighed and then said, "I'll take you to a nearby town tomorrow. Remember, you're not allowed to reveal your true form, and you're not allowed to scare anyone."
Taotie nodded frantically.
The next morning, Zhao Yuwei came to see Xiao Feng as usual.
Zhao Yuwei was somewhat worried when she heard Xiao Feng say that he was going to take Taotie to a nearby town.
Zhao Yuwei's cultivation has recently reached a bottleneck, and she cannot easily leave the Ming Cult.
Zhao Yuwei was worried that if Xiao Feng was alone, what would happen if he couldn't stop the Taotie from going berserk?
"Don't worry, I've put something on him. If he dares not to follow our agreement, I have a way to subdue him. Senior sister, you should focus on your cultivation. I'll be back soon."
Xiao Feng spoke up to comfort him.
Zhao Yuwei nodded, having no choice but to agree.
Zhao Yuwei felt that she was about to break through her cultivation level.
Since Xiao Feng is going down the mountain, she might as well go into seclusion for a few days and maybe she can successfully break through this minor realm.
Xiao Feng led the Taotie down the mountain.
As they walked down the mountain, Taotie chattered incessantly, asking Xiao Feng about things he was curious about.
"Is human food really that delicious?"
"That depends on your taste. Some demon beasts don't like human food."
"Will the human market be very bustling?"
"Don't you demons have celebrations and festive occasions? They must be similar to yours."
"I'm going to buy something later, can you pay for it? I don't have any money, you have to support me!"
Hearing Taotie's self-righteous words, Xiao Feng stopped and looked at him speechlessly before asking, "What do you want to buy? Nothing too expensive will do."
Taotie pouted, seemingly criticizing Xiao Feng for being stingy.
Xiao Feng ignored Taotie and quickly led it to the town closest to the Ming Cult.
Because it is relatively close to the immortal cultivation sects, there are also some cultivators active in the town. The things here are also quite diverse. Xiao Feng once had someone bring down some pills to sell for money.
"Wow! So this is what your human towns look like? I want to eat! I smell something delicious!"
Looking at the tall but childlike Taotie beside him, Xiao Feng felt ashamed to have brought him along.
Taotie ran to a vendor selling glutinous rice balls and asked for a serving. Then he frantically waved to Xiao Feng, asking him to pay for it.
Just as Xiao Feng finished paying for this, Taotie ran to another stall, holding a string of sparkling pendants, and asked Xiao Feng to pay for it again.
In this way, Taotie visited almost every stall on the street, with Xiao Feng following behind him, constantly paying money.
Although these things weren't expensive, Xiao Feng really felt ashamed of himself, and some people were looking at him and Taotie with strange eyes.
Although Taotie takes human form, he is still a very handsome man with an eye-catching appearance.
Xiao Feng was also quite handsome, and two good-looking men walking together would naturally attract attention.
Not to mention, the way the two get along is rather...sweet!
