With a leap, the tiger-eagle stretched out its arms in the air, transforming into a tiger's body. The tiger, about ten meters long and three meters high, quickly leaped several times and caught up with the eagle.
"Little Tiger, you're here!" Qiqi, sitting on the snake's head, excitedly waved her arms at Tiger Eagle.
The wind made the little girl's dress flutter, and the bells on her red headband jingled in the wind, making a clear and pleasant sound, just like the little girl's laughter, which made people feel happy.
"Big snake, where are we going?" Tiger Eagle asked Bai Xuan as they ran.
Bai Xuan glanced at the tiger, which was a head taller than him, and gave a haughty snort.
Unexpectedly, there were demons in the secret realm who were even older than him.
"Go to the Ashoka tree; the treasure entrance is under the Ashoka tree."
Soon, they arrived at the Ashoka tree.
Bai Xuan raised its tail, curled its arms around the little girl's waist, and put her down.
Then he rolled Huo Yuwei up and placed him next to Qiqi. Then he rolled himself up and spun around a few times, transforming into a dashing young man in white.
Unlike Hu Ying's rugged and tough appearance, Bai Xuan is quite delicate-looking, with a pair of vertical pupils that add a touch of unusual beauty to him.
He was slender and thin, dressed in ancient white robes, and holding a folding fan, giving him the air of a refined gentleman in a turbulent world.
"Wow, little snake, you look beautiful even when you're in human form!"
Tiger Eagle: ...
He'd heard that phrase before!
So this little girl probably has no aesthetic sense; she thinks any demon that transforms into a human is beautiful.
Bai Xuan blushed slightly after being praised, waved his folding fan, and nodded at Qi Qi, "Thank you, you look beautiful too."
"Where is the entrance to the treasure?" Qiqi asked, her big eyes sparkling.
Bai Xuan: ……
You understand the principle of "courtesy before force."
Bai Xuan walked to the Worry-Free Tree, stomped his foot on the ground, and an invisible shockwave spread through the air like ripples.
"Hey, isn't this a miniature version of the Xiaoyao Sect's mountain-protecting formation?" Qiqi blurted out.
"You know her?" Tiger Eagle immediately narrowed his eyes suspiciously, scrutinizing Qi Qi with his gaze.
The Free and Unfettered Sect was a sect in the cultivation world a thousand years ago. How could a little girl from a thousand years in the future know about it?!
Qiqi blinked her innocent big eyes, "Yes, I know it! I've seen it in a book. I have a very good memory. My master told me so many legends, and I remember them all!"
It turns out it was a family heirloom passed down through generations.
That's true. The little girl is so young. If she hadn't been passed down to play ball, how would she have known all this?
He's being too sensitive.
"Since you know him, you must know how to solve it, right?" It was a question, but the tone was one of certainty.
Qiqi nodded, "Yes, I'll go back! But my method is a bit violent, little snake, can you accept that?"
After she finished speaking, she took out an explosive talisman and looked at Bai Xuan.
Bai Xuan paused in his fanning motion, instinctively taking a few steps back. "What kind of talisman is that?"
"Explosive tags!" They destroyed everything, trees and all, leaving not a trace.
"No!" Bai Xuan screamed immediately, "Destroying the formation is fine, but destroying the Worry-Free Tree is not!"
The Worry-Free Fruit can cause hallucinations in both ordinary people and demons, and in severe cases, it can even cause people to be trapped in the illusion for life.
However, for the snake demon clan, it is an excellent medicine. Some snake demons who are stuck at a critical stage in their cultivation can complete a metamorphosis by eating two Worry-Free Fruits and can directly transform into human form.
That's why Bai Xuan was so angry when he came back from his trip and found that all the Worry-Free Fruits had been picked!
His treasure, which he had guarded for hundreds of years, was stolen from him at a crucial moment. One can imagine the hatred he felt.
As a result, when he went to seek revenge, he was beaten up. Just thinking about it makes me feel heartbroken.
"Then you do it." Qiqi raised her hand and put the talisman away.
When you can be lazy, of course you should be lazy.
She's had enough of being a "scrolling queen" in her past life, so she'll lie down whenever she can in this one!
Bai Xuan: ……
It's reasonable to suspect that this girl is trying to trick him into doing hard labor.
But in order to protect his Ashoka tree, he still had to do this physical labor.
Bai Xuan gritted his teeth, put away his folding fan, walked to the Worry-Free Tree, got into a fighting stance, gathered his spiritual energy, and blasted it towards the center of the formation!
It took a full five minutes of bombardment to break the formation.
Bai Xuancang, having exhausted a great deal of spiritual energy, retreated with a pale face.
"Alright, the formation has been broken, you can go down now."
Tiger Eagle looked closely and discovered that at the location of the roots of the Ashoka tree, there was a hole large enough for one person to crawl through.
The cave entrance faces downwards, seemingly leading deep underground.
"You don't mean you want us to crawl in like dogs, do you?" Tiger Eagle refused. As the king of beasts, he would never crawl into a hole.
Fifteen minutes later, Tiger Eagle crawled out of the burrow, covered in dust and dirt. While tidying himself up, he stubbornly said, "I'm only doing this because of our life-and-death pact. What if you, little girl, encounter some danger coming down here and drag me down with you!"
Qiqi didn't expose him; this little rascal was actually a soft-hearted guy with a stubborn mouth.
Beneath the Ashoka tree lies a spacious and warm underground world.
Here you'll find beautiful flowers that bloom year-round, and a warm but not scorching sun that hangs high in the sky.
On the grass, all sorts of small animals ran around freely. Some drank water by the stream, some rolled around on the grass, and some raced in groups of three or five.
Upon noticing the intruders, the playful little animals all stopped what they were doing and stared at them curiously with wide eyes.
Qiqi stood between Bai Xuan and Hu Ying, looking around curiously.
In fact, she discovered that this place seemed to be another world, distinct from the secret realm on the ground.
The spiritual energy flowing here is different from that outside.
She just tried it, and it seems that this spiritual energy belongs to someone else and cannot be absorbed.
How strange!
Could it be that this world was created by some powerful being who used their own spiritual energy to split open the space?
That powerful being is incredibly strong; he must be at least at the level of a supreme deity in the heavens.
If such a powerful being knew that they had taken the treasure he had hidden here, wouldn't he come down from the heavens to hunt them down?!
While it's important to take care of our parents in their old age, their lives are just as important.
She didn't want to have money but not live to enjoy it.
But Tiger Eagle was already excitedly urging Bai Xuan to quickly take them to the place where the treasure was hidden.
He couldn't wait to get some treasures so he could trade them for food and elixirs with the little girl.
“Sweetie, go ahead, I’ll lead you there.”
Bai Xuan led the way, with Hu Ying following behind him with great interest.
Seeing that the two were tall and had long legs, they walked a long way in no time, so Qiqi had no choice but to follow.
"Little snake, do you know where this world came from?" With just her two short legs, she definitely couldn't keep up with them, so Qiqi simply took out two wind-riding talismans and stuck them on her legs, riding the wind.
