This was the most comfortable sleep Du Heng had ever had since arriving at Taixu Realm. His body and mind were warm. He fell into a deep sleep without any dreams. Xiaoxiao, who was beside him, was like a big heater, warm and fluffy. Hugging her was like hugging a large pillow. Even though he slept on the hard ground, Du Heng felt refreshed.
He slept until noon. When Du Heng opened his eyes, he saw Xiaoxiao's big face in front of him. Xiaoxiao chirped twice, and Du Heng saw desire in his eyes. He wanted to write the word "food" in his eyes. Du Heng had never seen such a greedy and cute bird.
Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Good morning." He looked around and found Xuanyu was not in the room. He must have been too sleepy and didn't even know that Xuanyu had gone out.
Xiaoxiao nudged Du Heng, then hopped towards the stove, jumped onto it and stated her request. Du Heng laughed: "Xiaoxiao, I don't have the right ingredients. When we get to the village, I'll make you something delicious, okay?"
Xiaoxiao then jumped down from the stove, and he stood by the door and looked at Du Heng. Du Heng asked, "Are you going out?" Xiaoxiao actually nodded! If Du Heng saw a chicken so humane at other times, he would find it unbelievable. But after accepting Xiaoxiao's identity as a demon cultivator, he actually felt that Xiaoxiao was... so cute.
Du Heng opened the door in a servile manner: "Let's go, go out!" As soon as the door opened, Xiaoxiao walked out in a dignified manner.
It snowed heavily last night. The land that was turned over by the monster last night was covered with snow, but the broken tree trunk was still there. Du Heng saw a cow standing next to a big tree in front of the house! Behind the cow was a carriage with a shed. Xuan Yu was standing next to the carriage, holding an umbrella and looking in Du Heng's direction.
Last night the light was dim, and Du Heng did not look closely at Xuan Yu. Today, he could not take his eyes away again. Xuan Yu was wearing a black Taoist robe, with silver light flashing on it, looking like a few bamboos. His green umbrella was also painted with a few green bamboo branches, with a little bit of residual snow on it. Standing in the snow with an umbrella, he looked like a green bamboo in the snow.
Xuan Yu's skin was very white, and looking at him, except for the green bamboo umbrella in his hand, there were only two colors left, black and white. His hair was loose and tied behind his neck, and he was steady and lazi. He was calm and relaxed, standing in the snow, but he looked like a king looking down on the world.
Du Heng stared in a daze until Xuan Yu nodded at him: "Good morning, Du Heng." Du Heng's old face turned red, and he quickly changed the subject: "Good morning, good morning, where did such a big shot come from?" Du Heng secretly despised himself. He should like cute and soft girls, so how could he stare at a homosexual in a daze?
Du Heng blamed it all on the male bird. Pah, the damned personal charm of the demon cultivator. He was just an ordinary person, so it was normal that he was hard to resist, right?
Xuan Yu said, "The road back to the village is a bit far, it would be more convenient to use a bullock cart." Du Heng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, Xuan Yu is still thoughtful."
Du Heng looked at the cow standing docilely on the ground. This cow was different from all the cows he had seen. This cow was dark blue in color and looked like the buffalo he had seen when he was a child. But the pattern on the fur of this cow looked like fish scales. This cow's belly was particularly large because there were two bulges on both sides of its belly.
Its tail is very long, and because of the pattern on its fur, it looks like a snake's tail, not like the buffalo in my memory. But... who would use a buffalo to pull a cart?
When Du Heng walked beside it, the cow raised its head and sniffed Du Heng. Du Heng looked at the cow, which was taller than him, and carefully stretched out his hand: "It won't bite, right? Can I touch it?"
Xuan Yu said, "You can touch it. It has a gentle temperament." Du Heng put his hand on the cow's head. The cowhide was rough and felt a little cold. Du Heng felt that he was not touching a cow, but a fish. Du Heng asked, "Is this a cow?"
Xuan Yu said: "If you say it is a cow, then it is a cow. It has great endurance." Du Heng was amazed: "I have never seen such a cow before. It looks really special. Does it have a name?"
Xuan Yu thought for a moment and said, "If it doesn't have a name, you can just call it a cow." Du Heng laughed, "Isn't that too perfunctory?"
Du Heng laughed and asked, "Is it also a demon?" Xuan Yu said, "No, it is a kind of spiritual beast."
Du Heng dug out the memories of the original owner from his mind. In the world of cultivation, even animals are divided into many types. Those that can transform are called demons. Demons can practice cultivation, and their cultivation is higher than that of humans. Therefore, the status of demon cultivators in the Taixu Realm is quite high. Those that cannot transform but have intelligence are called beasts. There are spiritual beasts and demon beasts.
Spirit beasts are gentle by nature and will not hurt people. Demon beasts are violent and will harm human and demon cultivators, and everyone has the right to kill them. The remaining ones that cannot transform and have no spiritual intelligence are ordinary animals, just like the animals Du Heng knows, with flesh and blood, becoming a link in the food chain.
Xiaoxiao jumped onto the cow's back: "Chirp chirp~" Du Heng said with a smile: "Xuan Yu, what are you talking about?" Strangely enough, Xuan Yu is such a man who doesn't care about worldly things, but Du Heng feels very casual when facing him. They just met yesterday, but today they are as familiar as old friends. Du Heng still attributed this to the charm of an old bird that has nowhere to go. It's not his fault.
Xuan Yu said, "Xiao Xiao urged us to go back." Du Heng nodded, "Okay, wait for me to clean up."
It's called packing, but it's actually very simple. Just put the small bamboo house into the jade pendant. After these days of "cultivation", Du Heng was already able to skillfully use his limited spiritual energy to pack up the bamboo house. But today, with Xiaoxiao and Xuanyu present, Du Heng was a little hesitant.
When he gathered the spiritual energy in his palm, Xiaoxiao was laughing. Du Heng felt that Xiaoxiao was mocking him. Thinking of this, his old face turned red, and the spiritual energy was scattered like sand! The control of spiritual energy in the Qi training period was originally poor, and Du Heng was not using his own body, so he was a little worse than the original owner. Xiaoxiao's chirping made him gasp.
Du Heng struggled three times, and each time he saw the hut twist, but he just couldn't put it into the jade pendant. Du Heng became more and more panicked, and Xiaoxiao's laughter became louder. The little yellow chicken laughed so hard on the cow's back that its wings flapped, and its two big eyes became slits.
Du Heng's face was red, and Xuan Yu walked up to him without him noticing. Du Heng's voice was as small as a mosquito: "I... I'm not very good at controlling my spiritual energy." Xuan Yu hummed: "It's okay, it's like this in the Qi Refining Stage. I'll help you when we get back to the village."
Xuan Yu stretched out his hand to Du Heng: "If you don't mind, I'll help you collect it." Du Heng quickly stuffed the jade pendant into Xuan Yu's hand: "Thank...thank you very much." Du Heng was so embarrassed that he wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into.
Xuan Yu's control over spiritual energy was much better than Du Heng's. Du Heng didn't even notice the small bamboo house twisting. He only saw a flash of green spiritual light, and the small house in front of him disappeared, leaving only the snow mark flattened by the house. Xuan Yu placed the jade pendant in Du Heng's palm: "This level of micro cave originally requires the foundation-building stage to be used normally. You are already very good."
The jade pendant had become warmer after being used, as if it had been stained with Xuan Yu's body temperature. Du Heng felt that his embarrassment had been relieved a little, and Xuan Yu said slowly: "Let's go, get in the car."
Xiaoxiao squatted on the cow's back and made a whooshing sound. Du Heng walked to the cow, picked him up and rubbed him hard in his arms: "Were you laughing at me just now? Naughty Xiaoxiao, if you make fun of me again, I won't make you any delicious food." Xiaoxiao laughed louder and louder, and he rolled around in Du Heng's arms.
Xuan Yu jumped onto the cart first. He folded his umbrella and placed it behind the curtain of the cart. Then he stretched out his hand to Du Heng: "This is the first time I see this child smile so happily." Du Heng carefully hugged Xiao Xiao with one hand and held Xuan Yu's hand with the other: "Really? I think Xiao Xiao is very cute, clingy and cute."
It's absolutely right to praise a parent's child! Moreover, Du Heng was telling the truth. Xuan Yu smiled: "Xiaoxiao was very happy to hear you praise him." Du Heng looked into his arms and saw Xiaoxiao looking up with her head, looking at Du Heng with stars in her big eyes.
Du Heng's heart softened: "When we get to the village, I'll make you a lot of delicious food, okay?" Xiaoxiao's head pointed out a residual image, and Du Heng rubbed his head and went inside the curtain. Xuan Yu stretched out a hand and opened the curtain: "It will take several days to get to the village from here. The ox cart is simple, and I'm sorry to have wronged you."
Du Heng was about to say that he was not wronged when he was stunned by the scene in front of him. From the outside, the ox cart looked small, and it could only accommodate him, Xuan Yu and Xiao Xiao. But after lifting the curtain, Du Heng felt like he saw a manor! It was a large mansion with a gym!
The first thing that caught his eye was the reddish-brown furniture. Du Heng glanced at the armchair. With the annual turnover of his family's private restaurant, he probably couldn't even buy a set of these chairs! Looking at the decorations next to them, Du Heng suddenly felt like a country bumpkin who had strayed into a luxury house.
Du Heng swallowed his saliva: "Is this... your ox cart?" I didn't realize that Xuan Yu was so rich? ! Xuan Yu said: "This is Xiao Xiao's uncle's ox cart." Du Heng looked at the yellow chicken in his arms. He didn't realize that this was a golden chicken!
Du Heng asked weakly: "Xuan Yu, what is your relationship with Xiaoxiao?" He remembered that when Xuan Yu knocked on the door, he said he was looking for a younger generation in the family. Isn't Xuan Yu Xiaoxiao's uncle?
Xuan Yu said, "His uncle and I are close friends. Xiaoxiao ran away from home, and his uncle didn't have time to look for her, so he asked me to look for her." Xuan Yu thought for a moment and said seriously, "Xiaoxiao is... my neighbor's child? If you round it up, she can be considered my junior."
Du Heng thought to himself: The neighbor of a rich man is also rich, Xuan Yu won’t be bad!
Oh no! Du Heng suddenly felt that he had lost confidence when talking to Xuan Yu. Poverty made him so intimidated.
