A god-level alchemist, starting by manually crafting forbidden pills.

The alpha wolf tilted its head, and a hint of human-like mockery flashed in its scarlet beastly eyes.

Kong Lingfei's eye twitched slightly.

Inhale!

Take another breath!

"You scared me!"

"You scared me!"

"That'll teach you to yell at me earlier!"

"Look at this old man, he won't..."

He raised his fist and lunged forward as if to strike.

Nourishes—

The alpha wolf bared its teeth.

Several sharp fangs gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

A threatening growl came from his throat.

Kong Lingfei's hand froze, and he awkwardly withdrew it quickly.

"cough……"

He stroked his beard, looked up at the sky, and said nonchalantly.

"Don't think I'm afraid of you."

"I simply..."

"I wouldn't stoop to the level of a wretch like you!"

"This is an insult to scholarship!"

The alpha wolf rolled its eyes, exhaled two disdainful puffs of white breath from its nostrils, and turned its head away.

I don't care about you.

"Master, what happened?"

A pretty, red-clad figure came running from afar in a flurry of activity.

It was Midozhi who, upon hearing the bell after finishing her seclusion, rushed over.

She exuded the aura of a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator, which had not yet been completely concealed.

Then, they saw dozens of ferocious monsters, lined up in an orderly fashion, following behind their master.

Her master was gesturing and muttering to himself in front of the largest wolf that was walking at the front.

And that wolf...

He's rolling his eyes?!

"Oh my god!"

She covered her mouth, her eyes wide with surprise, "Where did all these monsters come from?!"

Her gaze shifted back and forth between the demon beast and her master, her little brain working at lightning speed.

Could it be that my master is actually a hidden master of beast taming?!

"Oh, this is your Senior Sister Bai..."

Kong Lingfei hadn't finished speaking.

Then I saw my disciple's eyes light up, and with a cheer, he rushed over like a happy little bee!

She ran straight to the mutated alpha wolf, tilted her little face up, and her eyes shone.

"So cute~~~"

Kong Lingfei: "???"

cute?!

Does this thing have anything to do with cuteness?!

It could swallow three of you in one gulp!

What kind of taste does my disciple have?!

Kong Lingfei sighed, exasperated, before he could even stop them.

Then, Midozhi stretched out her fair little hand and stroked the big head of the alpha wolf.

"Good girl~"

Her smile was radiant, and her voice was so sweet it was almost sickening.

next second.

Kong Lingfei's pupils dilated in shock, and he began to question the meaning of life.

The alpha wolf that was baring its teeth and showing its ferocity just a second ago was now attacking him.

Under Midozhi's caresses, it comfortably narrowed its beastly eyes, purring softly in its throat, much like a cat.

even……

It even lowered its head and rubbed against Midozhi's palm!

That look of enjoyment, fawning, and obedience...

Compared to his earlier baring his teeth, growling, and rolling his eyes at him...

They're like two completely different wolves!

“…………”

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

This world...

Even monsters are now behaving based on appearance?!

That's fine.

But what happened next was even worse.

After rubbing against Midozhi's palm enough, the wolf actually lay down on the ground and turned its head away.

He gestured to his apprentice with his eyes.

Come on up, I'll carry you.

Midozhi was stunned at first, then overjoyed, "Really?!"

Without any hesitation, she leaped lightly and landed steadily on the alpha wolf's broad back.

"Giggle~"

Her silvery laughter then rang out, "Giddy up! Giddy up! Big dog, run!"

The alpha wolf stood up, took a few steps, and slowly circled around Kong Lingfei.

Her posture was elegant, composed, and slightly ostentatious.

Kong Lingfei looked on expressionlessly.

My heart was already churning with turbulent emotions.

Outrageous!

This is outrageous!

That beast, it's fine if we just ignore him.

Now even his disciple dares to rely on the wolf's power and charge at him like a wolf?!

Kong Lingfei's forehead veins throbbed, and his temples throbbed with pain.

He was about to speak, to give a slightly, softer, less harsh reprimand—

"How can a young lady ride a wolf!"

The words were on the tip of my tongue...

"roar!"

A low, warning roar came from behind.

Two streams of scorching white mist shot out of the alpha wolf's nostrils, spraying them all onto the back of his neck.

It's hot, itchy, and has a slightly fishy smell.

Kong Lingfei froze, swallowing back the rebuke that was on the tip of his tongue.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the wolf.

The alpha wolf, its eyes fixed straight ahead, carried Midozhi with elegant steps.

Only the tip of its tail, almost imperceptibly, twitched proudly.

"..."

He got it.

He finally understood.

This beast likes girls!

And she's a beautiful, young girl!

That's why Bai Jie was able to subdue it so easily.

That's why Zhizhi could ride it without any restraint.

He was a dignified elder of the outer sect, a master of the eighth level of Foundation Establishment.

In its eyes, it was probably just a piece of old, unappealing, and movable cured meat.

Kong Lingfei took a deep breath, then another, forcibly suppressing the churning blood in his chest.

"How rude!"

He let out a snort.

He glanced at the small figure of the man, who was grinning from ear to ear, emboldened by the wolf's power.

But he patiently explained.

"This is a demon wolf that your Senior Sister Bai subdued by chance during a mission."

"Now, they have submitted to my Peach Blossom Temple and are responsible for assisting in the defense of the outer gate."

"you……"

He glared at Midozhi, "That's enough! Stop fooling around!"

Midozhi stuck out her tongue and made a face, but a question flashed through her mind.

With Senior Sister Bai Jie's cultivation level, let alone subduing this terrifying mutated wolf.

Even if you wanted to escape unscathed from its claws, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Besides, she's not blind.

The wolf's attitude towards its master and towards her were worlds apart.

A growl, baring its teeth, was full of threat.

A docile and obsequious girl, willing to be touched and ridden at will.

Is this reasonable?

Isn't that strange?

Could it be that this monster really only likes girls?

She quickly dismissed the absurd idea.

Monsters are monsters; they are wild, untamed, bloodthirsty, and violent.

How could they possibly be like humans, knowing how to cherish women and treat them according to their appearance?

and……

She recalled the fleeting glimpse she had of Senior Sister Bai Jie inside the mountain gate.

Her clothes were stained with blood, she was weak and pale, clearly having experienced a fierce battle.

It’s tricky!

There's definitely something fishy going on!

Midozhi unconsciously tugged at the fur on the alpha wolf's neck with her little hands.

In my mind, countless clues automatically connected.

Senior Sister Bai Jie was on a mission when she was surrounded by monsters and found herself in dire straits.

Then, using some unknown method, they managed to subdue these monsters.

This method clearly doesn't rely on force, because the senior sister was injured.

What does that rely on?

A bold, absurd, yet heart-pounding guess came to mind.

Could it be a medicinal pill?

Once the thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

She subconsciously raised her head and looked at the distant, misty, seemingly dilapidated mountain peak.

Danfeng.

and many more!

If this is the answer, then doesn't it mean that Senior Sister Bai Jie knows more than just Luo Fan's secret?

And... they knew even before she did?!

Midozhi's body trembled, and a thunderclap seemed to explode in her mind.

That day, Senior Brother Luo Fan said in person that he already had a Daoist partner.

Could it be... Senior Sister Bai Jie?!

This guess, like a cold, venomous snake, suddenly burrowed into her heart.

The smile on her face froze instantly.

My elation was abruptly dampened by a bucket of ice water.

She sat absentmindedly on the wolf's back, her little hands unconsciously clenched.

My mood has plummeted; it's not a good time anymore.

It's not pleasant at all.

Kong Lingfei looked at his disciple, who had been cheering and jumping for joy just a moment ago, but had wilted like a frostbitten eggplant in the blink of an eye.

He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh inwardly.

A girl's thoughts are like the weather in June, or the face of a baby.

Things can change in an instant; it's hard to predict, so hard to guess!

He suddenly regretted taking on such a female disciple.

If I take on a male disciple, at least I can drink with him, play chess, and have heart-to-heart talks.

However, the thought only flashed through my mind.

If he really accepts male disciples.

What if we happen to encounter that elusive genius alchemist in the future?

His beautiful, intelligent, and charming disciple still has the upper hand!

Kong Lingfei stroked his beard, and his inner balance returned.

Um...

Girls are better.

Girls are wonderful.

Who knows, maybe one day.

My good disciple managed to bring that alchemist back with him.
