"Little Black?"

You stared blankly at the enormous thing before you, your mind momentarily blank.

【"Meow?"】

A colossal creature, as large as a mountain, lowered its head and approached you. Its gently trembling beard was even slightly taller than you.

You tentatively raised your hand and touched its soft nose, causing it to comfortably squint its large, vertical pupils.

Hmm... it's still that same little black guy.

"Little Black, kill him!"

[Your expression changed instantly, and you pointed at the gaunt old man in the distance, shouting angrily.]

[You bastard, how dare you scare me!]

【"Meow!!!"】

[Little Black nodded its enormous head, then turned its head, its golden vertical pupils looking at the Nascent Soul old monster who was still standing frozen in place.]

"Wh...what the hell is that?"

It wasn't that he didn't want to escape, but a terrifying aura locked him in place, rendering him unable to move.

The gaunt old man felt an unprecedented pressure, even more terrifying than that of the Star-Guiding Realm ancestor within the sect.

【"Ha~"】

[Little Black opened its blood-red maw, spewing out gusts of wind that instantly transformed into thousands of sharp blades, shooting forward.]

【"No!!!"】

A deadly crisis gripped the old man, allowing him to temporarily break free from the terrifying suppression stemming from his life level.

He let out a piercing roar and spat out a bronze cauldron, its surface entirely emerald green.

This natal magic weapon swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into the size of a small mountain. Dense, ancient runes flowed across its surface, emanating a chillingly heavy aura.

【"Meow!"】

A hint of human-like disdain flashed in Xiao Hei's eyes.

[Boom boom boom!]

Thousands of wind blades crashed violently against the bronze cauldron, unleashing a deafening clang of metal against metal.

The magical artifact, powerful enough to withstand even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, trembled violently from the terrifying force. The runes on its surface flickered, emitting a mournful cry as it groaned under the immense pressure.

【"puff!"】

The old man coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

He gritted his teeth, frantically forming hand seals in an attempt to stabilize the bronze cauldron, but the next moment, his body was sent flying backward as if struck by a heavy hammer.

【Click~】

A sharp crack suddenly rang out.

Then, a series of dense cracking sounds echoed throughout the world.

【"Bang!"】

[Just a few breaths later, the powerful cauldron radiating immense pressure was crushed inch by inch by the wind blades, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.]

A look of heartache crossed your face. You then hid behind Little Black's massive body and used your spiritual power to quickly gather the scattered copper pieces.

[This is the natal magic weapon of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if it's broken, these fragments are still invaluable materials for refining weapons.]

However, the wind blades that shattered the precious cauldron did not pause in the slightest, and continued to slash straight towards the direction in which the gaunt old man was flying backward.

["Pfft~ Pfft!"]

Accompanied by a chilling, slicing sound, the old man didn't even have time to scream before being shredded into a cloud of blood mist by the terrifying wind blade.

"A Nascent Soul Peak cultivator... was killed by Little Black's breath?"

Seeing this, you stopped collecting the copper pieces.

"He's not dead yet."

[Having been pulled behind Xiao Hei by you, Liu Guanzhi, resigned to his fate, helped you collect the copper pieces, slowly shaking his head.]

【really!】

Just as the old man's physical body was completely annihilated, a miniature golden figure suddenly emerged from his shattered remains.

The golden figure's face was identical to the old man's, but now it was filled with horror and resentment. The moment it appeared, it transformed into a blinding golden light without looking back, fleeing madly towards the distant horizon.

【"Meow!!!"】

[Little Black is angry.]

[A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to run away from it!]

It moved suddenly, but abruptly stopped just before it could pounce. Its massive tail lashed out, sweeping you and Liu Guanzhi, who were busy at work, up with a swift motion.

Immediately afterwards, it raised its front paw and slashed sharply into the air.

The void suddenly tore open, revealing a pitch-black spatial rift. Without turning back, Little Black led you straight into it.

"How dare you!"

A terrifying aura suddenly surged up behind you, but just as it was about to touch you, the spatial rift abruptly closed.

【"call..."】

Only after feeling the terrifying aura behind you completely disappear did you finally let out a long breath.

"That's... a Star-Attracting Realm cultivator?"

You looked at the black-haired boy who was pressed tightly against you, a hint of curiosity flashing in your eyes.

【"Um."】

[Liu Guanzhi, feeling the delicate fragrance lingering at his nose and the softness in his arms, responded somewhat awkwardly.]

【hey-hey...】

Seeing his expression, a mischievous smile crept into your eyes.

Then, you reached out and wrapped your arms around his waist, pressing your head tightly against his chest and gently nuzzling him.

"Old Liu, this place is so scary!"

You are currently inside a spatial passage, surrounded by terrifying spatial winds and endless darkness.

Liu Guanzhi froze, knowing full well that you were acting, yet utterly at a loss for words.

【"Sigh~"】

He sighed softly, then wrapped his arms around you, holding you tightly in his embrace.

Just as you were about to continue teasing the other person, Xiao Hei's voice suddenly rang in your ear:

"Master, my spiritual power is exhausted."

【"That..."】

[You had barely uttered a single word when you felt the tails binding you suddenly loosen, and then Little Black's enormous body began to shrink rapidly.]

In its final moments before losing consciousness, it mustered all its strength to slash open another crack.

A powerful gravitational pull suddenly swept over you, dragging you uncontrollably towards the crack. You quickly grabbed the unconscious Little Black and held it tightly in your arms with heartache.

[Feeling the terrifying gale sweeping towards you, you whimpered:]

"Old Liu, our lives are in your hands now!"

Hearing the absurd words coming from his arms, Liu Guanzhi's brow twitched involuntarily.

However, his movements were extremely swift; the moment Xiao Hei spoke, he summoned an ancient-looking mirror.

【"open!"】

With a soft shout, the ancient-looking mirror flew from his hand and hovered above your heads, its surface shimmering with a soft light that protected you completely.

The terrifying gales from the outside, powerful enough to instantly grind a Golden Core cultivator into mincemeat, crashed fiercely against the light shield, but only stirred up tiny ripples, unable to penetrate even an inch further.

You let out a long sigh, holding the unconscious Xiao Hei in your arms even tighter. Then you looked up at the boy's profile, which appeared particularly cold and stern in the dim light, and snuggled closer to him.

"Old Liu, you're so reliable!"
