The sun shines through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled spots of light. By a stream not far away, two red-backed deer, one big and one small, are drinking water with their heads down.
Suddenly, the larger red-backed deer stopped drinking water, its two round ears moved, and then it raised its head and looked around vigilantly.
"Hiss--" The red-backed deer seemed to feel threatened and made anxious warning sounds.
The voice was tense and rapid.
The cubs beside it also became nervous when they heard their mother's call, and stamped their hooves anxiously.
Seeing its mother beside it running away, the little red-backed deer also started running and followed closely behind its mother.
The figures of the two deer, one big and one small, were soon obscured by the dense jungle and disappeared.
Not long after they escaped, a small animal with a silver-white body, scales on its body, horns on its head, and a pair of wings on its back appeared where they had just drunk water.
This little beast is Lilia.
Seeing that the two deer had run far away, Lilia quickly flapped her wings and chased after them.
However, the two deer were very familiar with the terrain of the valley, and there were too many trees here, which was not conducive to Lilia's flying, so she quickly lost track of them.
Lilia was devastated to find that her first hunt would end in such a failure.
I finally found the prey, but before I even got close to them, they seemed to have foreseen the danger and ran away.
Ever since she started eating meat, Lilia has fallen in love with it. However, she cannot go down the mountain. So, craving for meat, she sets her sights on the monsters in the back mountain.
But she didn't expect that her first attack would fail and she didn't even touch the fur of the prey.
Looking at Lilia who came back from outside listlessly, Ling Xiao asked with concern: "What happened?"
Lilia never hid anything from Ling Xiao, so she told him about her hunting trip.
"Before Lilia got close, they had already spotted her, so they ran away."
When Ling Xiao heard this, he explained, "They were scared away by your aura, so you have to restrain your aura."
Lilia is a divine beast, so the aura she exudes will scare other monsters away, and they will avoid her.
"So that's how it is!" Lilia suddenly realized.
Then she looked at Ling Xiao and asked him for a solution: "Uncle Ling, do you have any way to make Lilia's aura disappear?"
In her heart, Ling Xiao knows more than her, so whenever she encounters a problem, she will get an answer when she asks Ling Xiao for help.
Ling Xiao said, "This method is simple. I will teach you. When you go out in the future, conceal your aura to avoid being discovered and being in danger."
Thinking that Lilia has broken through to level 2, she can’t stay in the sect forever. It’s time for her to go out and gain experience.
After all, sometimes overprotecting a child is not for her good, it may even harm her.
So Ling Xiao told Lilia about the dangers of the outside world so that she could learn how to ensure her own safety outside.
The disciples of Xuantian Sect knew Lilia’s identity, so no one would hurt her, but people outside didn’t know.
Lilia is so innocent, she can't be deceived by the bad guys outside.
Ling Xiao was talking until his mouth was dry, so he stopped and asked Lilia, "Did you remember everything I said, Lilia?"
"Lilia has remembered everything." Lilia nodded obediently.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao smiled with satisfaction and began to teach her how to restrain her aura.
"I will now teach you how to restrain your breath, so you don't have to worry about this problem anymore."
Lilia learned quickly, and in a short while she had mastered the method of concealing her breath that Ling Xiao taught her.
As soon as she learned it, she was eager to try again and wanted to go hunting in the back mountains again.
But she didn't expect Ling Xiao to see through her thoughts and stopped her.
"Lilia!"
Upon hearing this, Lilia suppressed her excitement and looked at him, wanting to hear what else he had to say.
"I forgot to tell you that the monsters in the back mountain are raised by the sect. They were born there since they were young and rely on spiritual energy to cultivate. They are docile and belong to the category of spiritual beasts, so we cannot hurt them at will."
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Lilia was a little disappointed. It seemed that she would not be able to eat meat.
"By the way, you haven't told me why you are going to catch them?" Ling Xiao asked.
Upon hearing this, Lilia answered honestly: "Lilia wants to eat meat."
Ling Xiao didn't expect this to be the reason. He no longer needed to eat. It had been more than a hundred years since he last ate meat. He almost forgot the taste of meat.
"If you want to eat meat, I'll ask the canteen to buy some meat. But it's not good to eat too much of this stuff, so try to eat less." Ling Xiao said.
The meat he was talking about was of course ordinary livestock meat, not the monster meat that Lilia ate last time. It's just that spirit beasts are just like cultivators. They cannot completely digest and excrete ordinary food, and a large amount of harmful substances will accumulate in their bodies, which is not conducive to cultivation.
"Great." Lilia was very happy to hear that she could eat meat.
But she didn't expect that when she ate the meat she brought back from the cafeteria, she felt that the taste was completely different from the monster meat she had eaten last time.
She felt that it would be better to eat spiritual fruits instead of eating meat.
Monster meat contains spiritual power, so its taste is naturally incomparable to ordinary meat.
Because it didn't taste good, Lilia stopped eating it after trying it once.
She thought that she would go to Delicious Food to eat next time she came down the mountain, but she didn’t know if she had enough spirit stones to buy meat at Delicious Food.
And she was also thinking of using the spirit stones to buy beautiful gems.
