"?"

"??"

The boy suddenly looked up, his handsome face revealing an expression of utter disbelief and wonder.

Ye Jin looked at Xie Mo, then at Tun Tun.

He couldn't quite tell the little sparrow's cultivation level, though he didn't know how Xie Mo had figured it out.

Ye Jin didn't care about Xie Mo; he cared more about Dun Dun.

After a long pause, he asked with difficulty, "You mean it's in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm?"

Xie Mo nodded.

While eating, Tun Tun nodded her little head, seemingly quite pleased with herself.

"..."

Ye Jin compared the size of the little sparrow with his hand and was about to make a comment.

Suddenly, there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy behind them, and the girl who was swinging the small hammer successfully raised her cultivation to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

As she broke through to the next realm, a different kind of golden light shone from the little sparrow's body. As it ate, it also advanced to the next realm.

Xie Mo paused for half a second, then said, "Its cultivation level is now higher than yours."

This breakthrough resulted in a massive outflow of spiritual energy, which Ye Jin also sensed in an instant: "..."

Tun Tun didn't show off. With its little belly bulging from eating its fill, it walked towards Ye Jin, raised its wing, and patted the boy's hand. Its lively little expression seemed to be saying words of comfort.

It's as if it's saying: Don't be discouraged, don't feel inferior.

Tun Tun: Young man, if you work a little harder, you can become a little sparrow as amazing as me.

Nightfall was caught off guard and struck just right.

Rarely seeing the other party with such a frustrated expression, Xie Mo couldn't help but curl his lips and say softly, "Ye Jin, do you know that the difference between a contracted demon beast and its master can only be one realm at most?"

Ye Jin looked up, not understanding the hidden meaning in his words.

Xie Mo explained, "If the demon beast is too powerful, its cultivation will be sealed after being contracted. For example, Junior Sister is currently in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so even if her demon beast is powerful, it can only reach the mid-Golden Core stage."

Once Yunxi breaks through a realm, it's equivalent to the seal on that realm being lifted.

Therefore, when Yunxi reaches the late Foundation Establishment stage, Tuntun can also recover to the late Golden Core stage.

"..." Night Ember understood: "You mean its true cultivation level is even stronger."

Xie remained silent, his expression conveying tacit agreement.

It was clearly Yunxi who broke through her cultivation level just now, and Duntun was accidentally broken through hers without doing anything.

It's obvious that Tun Tun is the kind of demon beast he mentioned whose abilities were sealed during the contract due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels.

That's why Xie Mo guessed that the little sparrow wasn't as weak as they thought, and didn't need to be cared for or protected.

It seems that Ye Jin is the one who should be taken care of more.

The boy was in a state of petrification unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

Xie Mo felt that if he reached out and poked him, he would shatter completely.

Nightfall's voice was strained: "No wonder Junior Sister let it go and catch monsters to eat on its own..."

Tonton's strength is more than enough.

Ye Jin quickly remembered himself and was worried that the little sparrow would be eaten by the monster, so he took the initiative to cook and grill fish for the kids.

In an instant, Ye Jin felt lost and confused about life.

He sat up in shock in his deathbed, realizing the clown was himself.

The junior brother in front of him, who had been hit hard, seemed to be burning hot. Even from a distance, Xie Mo could feel the fire bursting from his spiritual root, as if he was angry and wanted to devour everything.

Nightfall suddenly stood up, turned around and left without expression.

Shermö asked, "Where to?"

He was really losing control, his feet seemed to have wings, and he ran incredibly fast, but he still gave Xie Mo an answer: "Find someone to beat up."

"what?"

Ye Jin left the Cliff of Contemplation.

Soon, flames lit up the sky not far away.

Only Yunxi and Qijue were imprisoned at the Cliff of Contemplation; Yejin was free to come and go.

but……

Xie Mo looked up at the sky and sighed, "He'll be coming back soon."

Actually, Ye Jin could have chosen to beat up Qi Jue, who was nearby, at this point.

However, since Qi Jue had been fighting with him for several days, Ye Jin now felt like vomiting whenever he saw him. He had no choice but to abandon the near for the far and set a fire in front of Cheng Jiangui's cave in the dead of night.

Xie Mo lowered his head and pondered. Now that the rune had been delivered, and his junior brother and sister were both busy with their own things, he wondered if he should go home and get some sleep.

He felt a weight on his legs and looked down.

Tun Tun had somehow climbed onto his lap, completely unsuspecting, lying lazily on her back with her belly up, and chirping at Xie Mo.

Xie Mo didn't understand.

It could only struggle to its feet, grab his hand, lie back down, place his warm palm on its belly, and close its eyes comfortably.

Lie down properly, now it's time to soothe her.

Xie Mo: "..."

A soft chuckle escaped his throat as he gently rubbed his chubby little belly with his fingers. "You know how to enjoy yourself."

Yunxi cut out a perfect piece of tree trunk, laid it flat in the center and hollowed it out, successfully making a small, broken boat.

She put her hands on her hips triumphantly and said, "Hmph, I really am the best."

Sherming was utterly puzzled: "What's the use of building a boat?"

This ugly-looking boat can't even fit two people.

Xie Mo dismissed the idea that his junior sister was a weapon cultivator.

After all, if a craftsman could create something so ugly and useless, he could just give up and kill himself.

Yunxi, however, was quite happy, shaking her head: "It's very useful to me."

Xie Mo thought there were some magical gadgets on the ship that would turn into cool and deadly weapons if touched.

Holding onto this idea, he obediently watched his junior sister cause trouble.

Yunxi cleaned it up, and then...

In front of Xie Mo, she lifted her foot, crawled into the boat, and lay down flat, which fit perfectly.

It's less of a boat and more of...

It looks like a coffin made to scale.

Yunxi lay peacefully in the coffin, her hands folded together: "Goodnight, Second Senior Brother."

Shemer: "?"

With a "bang".

The coffin suddenly disappeared, and the little girl inside fell straight to the ground.

She was still sleeping in that peaceful posture.

If it weren't for the occasional twitch in his chest, you really wouldn't be able to tell if he was asleep or had passed away.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Xie Mo steered her wheelchair over and placed the equally sleeping Tun Tun next to her, also posing Tun Tun in the same peaceful sleeping position.

He sighed, "No wonder Nightfall went mad."

Who wouldn't go crazy if they encountered something like this?

……

Worried that his junior sister might be snatched up by some passing monsters while she was sleeping too soundly, Xie Mo did not leave the Cliff of Contemplation that night. He found a relatively quiet spot, took out his rune pen, and planned to draw more runes for Qi Jue as a backup.

As he drew, he seemed to think of something and murmured to himself, "Night Ash seems to have changed a lot too."

Even though they only went down into the secret realm together once, the boy visibly became much gentler.

Although he took on the cooking responsibility because he felt that Tun Tun was weak, at least in Xie Mo's memory, Ye Jin was not such a responsible person.

It seems they cooperated quite well and got along well in this secret realm.

Secret Realm...

Xie Mo paused in his hand holding the rune pen, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes, which quickly faded and became dull.

The upcoming Myriad Spirits Abyss Secret Realm is a talisman cultivation secret realm he has always dreamed of visiting.

But given his current physical condition...

Xie Mo didn't know if he would ever have the chance to go there again in his lifetime.
