"Yi Cheng, do you think Master is a sore loser? He's giving up after losing just two bags of cookies."
"Yeah, I think Master is a sore loser. He didn't give me any cookies even though I won twice."
"Yi Cheng, you're bluffing."
Even a winning hand is still a winning hand.
"???"
"Squeak—, Yi Cheng is right, Master just can't take a joke, he can't take a joke. I, Black Rabbit, hereby express my utter contempt for him."
"Hmph hmph." Little cookie, little cookie, chubby fish, give me some little cookies.
Under the mulberry tree in the distance, several little ones sat there chattering incessantly, their voices so loud that they seemed completely unconcerned about Qin Beast's feelings.
Qin Shou's face darkened slightly. Looking at these fat and chubby guys, they were all eating and drinking my food. They really didn't understand any social etiquette. They should be sent down the mountain to let them go hungry.
Da Mei covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched this scene, not forgetting to comfort Qin Shou.
"Don't be sad, Master. You're so amazing; if you cheated, you'd definitely beat us."
"???" Qin Shou said, "Da Mei, you were so good at comforting me. Don't do that next time."
"Yes, Master."
Da Mei tilted her head and smiled mischievously, then skipped away carrying a book.
"Master..."
"Um? "
Xiao Xuan had just called out when he saw Qin Shou looking over with a frustrated expression.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan immediately said awkwardly:
"Well, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer. Take care, Master."
"Yes, I'll see you off."
"Haha, Master, I can walk by myself. I wouldn't dare trouble you."
Xiao Xuan laughed heartily.
Qin Shou shook his head.
"It's nothing, just something I did on the way."
As he spoke, he raised one foot with a bang.
"ah........ "
Xiao Xuan transformed into a star and flew away.
Wow! Siwu flew so far!
Yi Cheng ran over with an envious look on her face, her big pregnant belly protruding as she exclaimed:
"Master, Master, come and kick the goose's big belly, see if you can kick it homeless too."
"roll. "
"Okay." Rolling around...~(～o￣▽￣)～o . . . Rolling around...o～(＿△＿o～) ~. . . Slowly rolling down the mountain.
"???"
"Huh?! Yi Cheng, wait a minute, we're going to roll with you too!"
"??????"
Qin Shou watched as the four little fools tumbled down the mountainside...
"Hmm? I seem to still have a bronze Luck Card I haven't used."
Qin Shou didn't have any high hopes; he simply called out "lottery draw" in a low voice.
Congratulations! You've won a "Heavenly Puppet"!
[Heavenly Puppet: By imprinting the divine soul with incantations, refining it forty-nine times, and then adding a drop of essence blood to refine it, it can possess ninety percent of the host's cultivation.]
Note 1: This applies only to cultivation levels below the Immortal Realm.
2. Each celestial puppet can be used a maximum of seven times.
"A Celestial Puppet! It's significantly more advanced than a Spirit Puppet!"
"This is perfect for crafting into a talisman for Xiaonuan."
Qin Shou thought to himself with satisfaction, and then began to go into seclusion to refine the Heavenly Puppet.
......
Time flies like snowflakes.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Nuan is already eleven years old.
At the same time, she became increasingly fascinated by the world below the mountain.
She kept asking her master to take her down the mountain to play.
Qin Shou understood; children are always full of curiosity about the outside world.
Sometimes, even an adult who has stayed on a mountaintop for a long time will yearn for the colorful world they have never seen before.
Moreover, over the years, those great demons have often gone to the mortal realm to find all sorts of novel and fun things for Xiao Nuan in order to make her happy, and they have also told her all sorts of strange stories about the mortal realm.
"Master, Nuannuan wants to go down the mountain to play, okay?"
The peach tree was still in full bloom, and under it, a little girl who was already about 1.4 meters tall kept shaking the fairy's arm and acting coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Qin Shou grinned.
He knew that this kind of thing couldn't be stopped. If he didn't go and see the wonderful world down the mountain with his own eyes, this little girl would always be thinking about it.
Qin Shou's wish is that this little girl will not have to bear the burdens of worldly grudges and affections like her mother, Xiao Xuan, or Luo Yunyan from a young age. Qin Shou only hopes that she can live a happy, peaceful, and carefree life.
"You wait, your master will assemble a bodyguard team to protect you, okay?"
"Hehehe, Master, you're so kind. Nuannuan loves you so much."
The little girl, now a graceful young woman, stood gracefully under the peach tree, skillfully making a heart shape with her hands above her head, mimicking the gesture Qin Shou had taught her. Her bright, large eyes blinked playfully.
Oh my, my girlish heart is fluttering!
"Yi Cheng, Da Bao...where are you?!"
Qin Shou shouted loudly.
swish swish swish —
The main force on the mountain began to assemble.
"exist. "
"exist. "
"The goose is here."
"Hmph hmph."
"The Four Scoundrels of Turtle Mountain salute their biggest boss of Turtle Mountain!"
Four chubby little boys stand in order from fattest to thinnest.
Military posture standards.
Raise your hand in salute.
Very professional.
"Yi Cheng, I'm now giving you a super important task."
"Master, what kind of super-huge mission is it?"
"Can you go down the mountain to protect Xiaonuan?"
"Huh! Master, you've finally let the geese down the mountain to play!"
Yi Cheng's little eyes lit up immediately.
Qin Shou's eyebrows furrowed, and he said sternly, "I'm sending you down the mountain to protect Xiao Nuan, not to let you play around. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Master! Don't worry, Master, I will definitely protect Xiao Nuan!"
Yi Cheng, with her large belly protruding, assured him.
"Master, I will protect Xiaonuan too, and I want to go down the mountain as well."
Little Fatty immediately raised his hand to report.
"you...... "
Qin Shou looked suspicious.
Seeing that danger was imminent, Little Fatty immediately started acting cute and silly, sticking out his little bottom, tilting his little head back, waving his hands, and blinking his adorable big eyes at the Qin beast.
"Master, don't you think I'm cute?"
Qin Beast:............
"Master, please let Auntie Little Fatty and Uncle Black Rabbit go down the mountain with Nuannuan."
Wen Nuan hugged Qin Shou's arm and rubbed against him affectionately.
This was something she and her third aunt had planned long ago.
Third Sister and the others wanted to go down the mountain to play, but they didn't dare to tell their master, so they always encouraged Wen Nuan to do it.
In truth, Qin Shou was well aware of their ulterior motives.
"Since Nuannuan pleaded for you, alright then, I'll allow you to go down the mountain together."
"Yay! Yay!"
Little Fatty and Black Rabbit started excitedly jumping and cheering in place, raising their little arms.
"Silence!"
Qin Shou let out a fierce shout.
"Remember, your primary mission is to protect Xiaonuan, understand?"
"Master, don't worry, Black Rabbit and I will protect Little Nuannuan with our lives."
Black Rabbit and Little Fatty patted their bellies and made a solemn promise.
Qin Shou couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two short, chubby guys with such serious expressions.
However, Qin Shou was clearly not at ease letting these little fools go down the mountain to protect Xiao Nuan, because Qin Shou genuinely felt that even if Xiao Nuan was not in danger to begin with, being protected by these idiots would still put her in danger. Therefore, Qin Shou handed over the leadership task to Da Mei.
Da Mei was happy to accept this.
Because she had long wanted to go down the mountain.
Over the years, she has received instruction in Taoism and Buddhism from Song Ningsheng and the Buddhist monks, practicing both. She has begun to grasp the basics, but she is still far from achieving enlightenment in Taoism and understanding one's true nature in Buddhism. Seeing that Da Mei is intelligent, Song Ningsheng suggested that she go out into the mortal world to see the different and complex world, so that she might be able to find her own path in it.
"This time, Da Mei is leading the team. Remember, you all have to listen to Da Mei. Anyone who disobeys will be beaten to death when we get back, understand?"
"Yes, Master (Master)."
"Yes, and one more thing, let me reiterate: your primary task is to protect Xiaonuan, protect Xiaonuan, understand?"
"Yes, sir."
