"Hmph, Six-Winged Illusionary Serpent, let's leave now! Let's leave now!"
Xie Zhou was furious. She glared at Ling Fengque fiercely and was about to walk out when she heard the fairy outside the door giggling.
“Little thing, this is a test that every spirit beast must go through.”
A fairy smiled as she looked at Xie Zhou and the six-winged illusory python beside her.
"That's right, that's right. Because our Sword Sect once had a powerful spirit beast that, for some reason, insisted on choosing a person with extremely weak strength as its master. Then, the spirit beast absorbed all of the person's strength, and the person died. The body was not discovered until half a month later."
The fairy sister said, covering her face.
"Yes, yes, it's incredible that someone of your strength could subdue a high-level magical beast as a spirit pet. Our Immortal Venerable will naturally investigate this matter."
The fairies spoke up, vying to be the first to speak.
"Hahaha, so that's how it is..."
Xie Zhou turned his head away embarrassedly, but Ling Feng didn't seem to care. He leaned back in his chair and was pouring water into a cup using tongs.
"Well, Immortal Venerable, I was too impulsive just now. I made a hasty conclusion without even listening to your explanation. Immortal Venerable, you are magnanimous, please don't hold it against me."
Xie Zhou blushed and apologized to Ling Feng.
"It's alright. I wasn't planning on explaining anyway. As long as you're all doing well, that's all that matters."
Lingfeng said calmly.
"That's just how the Immortal Venerable is, don't take it to heart."
At this moment, a fairy whispered a few words in Xie Zhou's ear.
"Oh, I see. Hahaha."
Xie Zhou smiled as well. Judging from the way these fairies acted in front of Ling Fengque, he could tell that Ling Fengque was not a murderer.
"Xie Zhou, eat your fill first, then follow these fairies to bathe and change. As my disciple, how can you be so slovenly?"
Lingfeng frowned as he glanced at Xie Zhou, who was covered in mud and dust.
"Oh, when can we eat... Wait! Your disciple? When and where?"
Xie Zhou was somewhat at a loss.
In her mind, the one who could become Lingfeng Que's disciple should be Luo Fantian. How come it has inexplicably become Xie Zhou now?
Xie Zhou scratched his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Little thing! You...you actually got accepted as a disciple by the Immortal Venerable?"
"My God, this...this little thing..."
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and don't waste any time!"
Lingfeng flicked his sleeve, looked at the dumbfounded fairies, frowned, and said seriously.
"No, Immortal Venerable, I have neither strength nor talent, I...I...I...I..."
Before Xie Zhou could finish speaking, Ling Feng launched a fire-attribute energy attack at him. Xie Zhou was startled, and the unused energy stored in his body formed a barrier-like structure.
Lingfeng's pure energy attack was directly absorbed by Xie Zhou, who was unharmed, only taking two or three steps back.
"This...no wonder the Immortal Venerable wanted to take her as his disciple!"
"So... she's so weak, yet she was able to withstand an attack from a Celestial Venerable!"
"This is truly amazing!"
"Do you understand why now?"
Lingfeng glanced at Xie Zhou.
"No... I don't understand."
Xie Zhou was still scratching his head.
"The energy within you is special. Attacks in pure energy form not only fail to injure you, but can also be absorbed by your energy. If this ability is not properly utilized and modified, it will definitely cause big problems in the future."
Lingfeng flicked his sleeve again.
"The meal is served!"
One fairy after another appeared, each carrying delicacies that Xie Zhou had never seen before.
"What...what...what are all these?!"
They came in all shapes and sizes; some were as white as lychee flesh, while others were dark and unidentifiable.
The most eye-catching thing was the meat that was carried up at the very back by two men.
"These things in front are yours, and those things behind belong to the Six-Winged Illusion Serpent. Hurry up and go."
Lingfeng sat on the futon with his eyes slightly closed.
He knew something was coming without even opening his eyes.
"I...I...I...I...They're all mine?"
Xie Zhou's stomach started growling again.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony!"
Xie Zhou devoured the food on the table like a whirlwind.
The six-winged serpent devoured everything on the table, leaving nothing behind.
"This stuff is really delicious, especially the pure white meat. It tastes sweet in your mouth, and after eating it, you feel full of energy."
"Delicious! Delicious! Delicious!"
The six-winged serpent was speechless, only managing to utter a few "delicious"s.
"This is so good, waaaaaah..."
"After you finish eating, go wash up. The Six-Winged Illusion Python is also coming; let's go together."
"Little thing, come with us quickly! Look at the two of you, one human and one snake, you're not clean at all. The water you wash in will be black soon!"
The fairy sister gave Xie Zhou a displeased look.
"Hehehe, hehehe..."
Xie Zhou didn't know what to say, so he could only smile helplessly.
"Ding! System reward has been credited to your account!"
Another jolt went through his mind, and Xie Zhou trembled all over.
"What is this?! What is this?! System, what are you doing now?!"
Xie Zhou screamed hysterically.
"Successfully seized the male lead's resources, 5000 points added, enough to exchange for a basic treasure!"
The system then said another sentence.
"I just stumbled upon this by accident..."
Xie Zhou clearly did nothing, but unexpectedly, by simply saving someone, he successfully stole the male lead's resources.
"The original script was supposed to be like this: the male lead was kidnapped by the demon spider, and then Ling Feng entered the Ghost Forest to seal the Devouring Beast. He accidentally discovered Luo Fantian, who had been kidnapped by the demon spider, and rescued him, expelling the spider eggs from his body. Then Luo Fantian was taken in as his disciple."
The system spoke a lot in Xie Zhou's mind.
"I understand, I understand, now I am Lingfeng Que's disciple!"
Xie Zhou let out a long sigh of relief.
"By the way, fairies, how many disciples does the Immortal Venerable have?"
Xie Zhou blinked as he looked at the fairy-like woman.
"To be honest, you're my only disciple. The Immortal Venerable once said he wouldn't take any disciples in this lifetime, but I didn't expect him to make an exception this time. It might be because of you..."
As the fairy sister spoke, she quickly covered her mouth.
"Huh? Because of what?"
Xie Zhou asked.
"It's nothing! We're running out of time! Hurry up!"
