late at night.
The disciple in charge of raising the Lingyu chickens stood in front of the chicken coop, looking very energetic.
Based on his observations over the past few days, chicken thieves usually commit their crimes late at night. He decided to keep watch here tonight and see who this chicken thief really is!
Inside the henhouse, a flock of Lingyu chickens were all nestled obediently in their respective corners, their heads tucked under their wings, fast asleep, with only occasional soft snoring and dreamlike clucking sounds.
Suddenly, in a corner unseen by the disciples, a cloud of black mist appeared silently, enveloped the two closest spirit-feathered chickens, and then disappeared again.
Throughout the entire process, the disciples guarding outside the chicken coop were not alerted at all.
Black Mist led two Spirit Feather Chickens to the back mountain. After finding no one around, it gradually transformed back into its original form, but its entire body was still covered in black mist, making it impossible to see its appearance.
Black Mist looked at the Spirit Feather Chicken in its hand, whose neck had just been snapped, and without any politeness, opened its mouth and swallowed both Spirit Feather Chickens whole.
"Tsk, not even enough to fill a tooth gap!" Black Mist seemed to click his tongue and said with great annoyance.
"It's really not enough."
A voice suddenly rang out, and then a person dressed in a black robe walked out from behind the tree.
The black mist suddenly erupted with intense killing intent, opening its abyssal maw as if to swallow the man whole.
But they could not go any further than three feet from the man in black.
The man in black glanced indifferently at the sharp teeth in the black mist's mouth and continued, "As one of the ancient ferocious beasts, the Taotie, those two chickens with only meager spiritual power are indeed not enough to fill your teeth."
Seeing that it could not defeat this person, Taotie did not intend to do any more useless work, but it still had a wary look in its eyes.
"Who are you? How do you recognize me?"
The man in black chuckled, slightly spreading his arms and shaking his black robe. "Since I'm dressed like this, I naturally don't intend to tell you who I am."
"As for how to recognize it, telling you that wouldn't be of much use. But please rest assured, I won't tell anyone else about this."
"You would be so kind?" Taotie was clearly unconvinced. "We ferocious beasts and you humans have always had a life-or-death relationship. What? Has the world changed after tens of millions of years?"
"Are you joking, sir?" The man in black remained unperturbed. "You've been out for so long, you must have noticed that there are no more ferocious beasts left in this world."
Taotie must know this, but unfortunately it is now just a lingering regret.
To avoid attracting attention and to satisfy its appetite, it had no choice but to steal chickens to eat.
“However, I do have a way to help you get out of this predicament.” The man in black said, taking a dagger from his sleeve and throwing it in front of Taotie.
"All you need is..."
Taotie was indeed tempted after hearing this.
Its abilities are not what they used to be. If it leaves this place, it will inevitably attract the pursuit of the human race. But if it keeps hiding here, it will be discovered sooner or later.
If what the man in black said is true, then that place is indeed its only way out...
"What is your purpose?" Taotie asked warily.
It doesn't believe in the idea of free lunches.
"What purpose could I possibly have?" the man in black asked with a smile. "My purpose will be achieved once you successfully reach that place."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black disappeared from the spot.
Taotie picked up the dagger from the ground and fell into deep thought.
Perhaps it's worth a try...

With less than fifteen days until the grand ceremony of the joint registration, Gu Yue had finally prepared everything.
Having finally found some free time, Gu Yue decided to show off her culinary skills and prepare a big meal to reward everyone. However, with so many people, Gu Yue couldn't be the only one working, so Jing Shu joined in as well.
Since it was at Cold Peak and Immortal Venerable Hanluo was there, Li Ning wisely refrained from coming over for a free meal this time. However, the other person didn't think so.
Gu Meng couldn't help but kick Ji Chen, who kept waving a folding fan regardless of the weather.
"Put away your fan! Or I'll make another one for you!"
A shoe print immediately appeared on Ji Chen's buttocks, but he was not angry at all, and even indulged it.
"Okay, okay~ I'll put it away now. Little Meng'er, don't be so temperamental, it'll make you look bad."
Because of Li Ning, Gu Meng and Ji Chen have met frequently over the past few years and have become very familiar with each other.
Gu Meng completely ignored his expression and said with a hint of disdain, "Even your master is too embarrassed to come over, how can you be so shameless?"
Ji Chen shook his head helplessly, "I'm different from my master. He was trying to steal someone else's girlfriend, which is immoral, so naturally he wouldn't dare to show his face in front of Immortal Venerable Hanluo."
“I’m different, I’m aboveboard!”
Besides, Jing and I are good friends! We've been through two secret realms together, so it's not unreasonable for him to come over for a meal, is it?
Gu Meng thought so too, and besides, he didn't really want to drive him away.
"Where are your senior brother and Jingyou? I haven't seen them." Ji Chen asked in confusion.
"Oh, them? My senior brother went to buy crispy duck for me. As for Xiao You, I'm not sure, he should have gone down the mountain too," Gu Meng replied.
"By the way, what about Lu Yunqi, who's always with you? I haven't seen him these past few days."
When Lu Yunqi was mentioned, Ji Chen became quite agitated, "He values women over friends!"
"What?"
"I told you, he values women more than friends!" Ji Chen said through gritted teeth.
"I originally asked him to come with me, but Fellow Daoist Lin had something come up and asked him if he wanted to come along. He went without hesitation! Tell me, isn't he prioritizing his girlfriend over his friends!"
After hearing this, Gu Meng mocked Ji Chen mercilessly, "Serves you right! Who told you not to have a Daoist partner!"
"Hey~ How could you say that to me, Xiaomeng'er?" Ji Chen covered his chest, pretending to be hurt.
"How about Xiaomeng'er becomes my Daoist partner? Xiaomeng'er is so beautiful, she can definitely help me get back at that brat Lu Yunqi!"
Ji Chen joked casually, but his eyes held a subtle hint of seriousness and probing.
But Gu Meng laughed even louder, "You? You want me to be your Daoist partner? Let alone whether you can compare to my master and senior brothers, you probably can't even compare to my eldest senior brother and Xiao You. My standards for a Daoist partner are based on them!"
Gu Meng proudly raised her chin. She had been raised by her master and the other two, so she naturally expected her Daoist partner to be good-looking, well-mannered, and skilled in cultivation.
Besides, she had seen how her senior brother and master got along. Her senior brother was very obedient to their master and could cook so many delicious dishes.
If she were to find a Daoist partner, she would naturally want someone like that!
If she can't find anyone, she might as well be alone! After all, she has so many loving family members, and she's so rich!
Ji Chen chuckled softly, "So, in Xiao Meng'er's heart, I'm really that bad~"
Gu Meng patted Ji Chen on the shoulder, "Don't be sad, you're still pretty good, it's just that we're not meant to be."
Ji Chen was not discouraged upon hearing this. At least Gu Meng didn't dislike him, so he still had a chance!
Go for it, Ji Xiaochen!
Even the most virtuous woman can be won over by persistent pursuit. If he just shows his best side to Gu Meng, she will eventually start to like him a little!
He's not a master; if he likes someone, of course he'll take the initiative!
