It has no side effects, and is so nourishing that it doesn't even require blessings from elders in the clan to make one's cultivation level higher than many direct descendants.
"You're very lucky too." Su Xi patted its big paw and clicked her tongue in admiration.
"But you've been wandering outside, and you've never even thought of going back to your clan?"
Su Xi looked at the dazed Xiao Ao with suspicion, then couldn't help but look at Song Tingwan.
Song Tingwan smiled and rubbed the white tiger's big head. "I found it by accident, but it stuck to me. It showed me some memories of being chased by a lion. Its mother carried it all the way and left it in my barrier."
"I'm only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so I've never brought it to the demon realm."
With such a powerful lion chasing after him, Xiao Ao must be of high status.
She wouldn't risk it before she had absolute power.
Even so, she knew Su Xi.
Only one's own strength can provide true confidence.
Su Xi raised an eyebrow knowingly, “It is a direct descendant of the White Tiger Clan. There is only one who matches the age, the youngest son of the Tiger Clan leader.”
"Back then, the tiger and lion clans were constantly at odds, and now they are irreconcilable enemies. Little one, would you like to see your parents? I will personally take you there."
With her around, the lion clan dared not harm the demons she led.
Song Tingwan lowered her eyes and looked tenderly at the bewildered white tiger.
"Do you want to see your parents? When you were little, Xiao Ao cried because he felt his mother had abandoned him. Now that you've returned to your tribe, do you want to see your parents?"
Song Siyao also carried it for a long time.
While he practiced his sword, Baihu would lie beside him and tease the flowers, while he chased butterflies.
She said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to, then wait until your sister recovers, and then we'll all go back with you."
Little Ao's big tiger eyes lit up, and it clung to Song Tingwan's clothes, nodding at Song Siyao.
Song Tingwan chuckled. How come she was cute as a child, and even more so as an adorable big fluffy dumpling as she grew up?
"Then stay here with me for now. After this is over, we'll go home together with Xiao Ao."
She scratched the white tiger's chin, and it nestled comfortably against its owner's lap, squinting its eyes.
"You are truly extraordinary. Most of the White Tigers are arrogant and not to be trifled with, yet this one is remarkably docile."
Su Xi smiled alluringly. Perhaps because the child was raised by Song Tingwan, he had learned her good temper.
The group chatted and laughed for a bit.
Before long, several powerful forces suddenly appeared outside the barrier.
After Su Xi noticed this, she smiled at Song Tingwan.
“I really can’t keep you in check. Look, the rest of you have been found too.”
Having said that, with a thought, the three people outside immediately stepped inside as soon as they saw the barrier open.
The bamboo grove is very large.
But a fox tail kept leading the way ahead.
It's not like you'll get lost.
Finally, the bamboo-lined courtyard is elegant and pleasant.
The four people sat around the table and all turned to look at each other.
Each face is more stunning than the last.
The three newcomers could barely see the other three; they all stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Song Tingwan.
Over the past century, countless people like her have been sought out.
But when Song Tingwan actually sat in front of them, it was hard to believe.
"Wan'er...?"
"Master."
"You're finally back."
After Baili Xijiang finished murmuring, tears streamed down her face, and she rushed over to push Xiao Ao aside.
He buried his face in his master's knees and burst into tears.
"Master, I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
"I've already reached the level of a Pill Saint, and you still don't come back to see me."
"Do you have another apprentice? Waaaaah—"
Helpless, Song Tingwan rubbed his head like she would a little boy.
"How could I not want you? My little apprentice is the most talented alchemist."
Baili Xijiang let out another loud wail.
Little Ao stood to the side, raised its paw, and let out a howl as it rested on his shoulder.
The big tiger stared blankly, but still managed to comfort the dragon that had once tucked it into its collar to play with swords when it was young.
Shen Zhuochuan silently rubbed his forehead and slapped his nephew on the back of the head. "Alright, tone it down."
How can a dragon cry so much?
This is a disgrace to the dragon race.
Baili Xijiang ignored him and buried his head in his master's hand, tears streaming down his face.
"Don't yell at him. My departure was too sudden, and it scared my apprentice, didn't it?"
Song Tingwan patted Shen Zhuochuan's hand, scolded him playfully, and then gently comforted her little apprentice.
Before she could even comfort one of them, Qin Xi wiped away her tears. Realizing what had happened, she ignored Song Tingwan and threw herself into her arms.
"Wan'er, you scared me to death, waaaaah—"
A century.
It's been so long.
She was terrified of her best friend dying.
Finally, finally they're back.
"It's been a century since we last met, Qin Yuanyuan is still so beautiful." She pounced on her with considerable force, and Song Tingwan leaned back, patted her back, and praised her with a smile.
Qin Xi sniffled, her face streaked with tears, "You know about Bai Nian too? You made me so worried."
During the accusation, tears kept falling.
But he didn't loosen his grip on her neck at all.
It was as if they were afraid she would disappear again.
"Don't cry, little fairy Yuanyuan, I'm back now." Song Tingwan looked up and wiped away her tears, feeling helpless and heartbroken.
They were really terrified.
After hurriedly comforting Qin Yuanyuan and her little apprentice, Song Tingwan looked at Wan Qiji with a smile.
"Aji, it's been a long time. Are you going to cry for a while too?"
Wan Qiji took a step back, blinked hard, and suppressed the redness in his eyes.
"It's good that you're back."
He stood there upright, all his worries and longing for his dear friend condensed into these four words.
