The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

Xiao Niannian stared nervously at the egg, barely daring to breathe.

"Snap!"

The eggshell cracked open completely, and a small animal crawled out of it.

It's very small, only the size of a palm.

It is covered in fur and has a reddish-gold color.

It has two small horns on its head and four hooves covered with fine scales.

A pair of dark, bright eyes looked at Xiao Niannian with curiosity.

"Squeak!"

The little animal cried out, its voice clear and melodious, quite endearing.

When it saw Xiao Niannian, its eyes were full of affection.

He stumbled and climbed onto her hand, rubbing his head against her fingers.

"Wow, it's so cute!"

Little Niannian's eyes lit up as she held the little beast in her palm, unable to put it down.

Luo Tian looked at the little beast, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"This...this is a Qilin divine beast cub!"

"A Qilin?!"

Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

An ancient mythical beast, renowned as far as the dragon.

Legend has it that the appearance of the Qilin signifies the arrival of good fortune.

Even the remnant soul of the withered tree trembled:

"I've been collecting these for thousands of years, and I never knew it was a Qilin egg..."

Little Niannian hugged the little Qilin and jumped for joy:

"Nian Nian has a Qilin! Nian Nian has a Qilin!"

The little Qilin cried out again and stuck out its tongue to lick Xiao Niannian's fingers.

"Little Qilin, from now on you'll stay with me, understand?"

Little Jin peeked out from her shoulder, looking at the little Qilin with curiosity in its dragon eyes.

"Hey little one, hello there, it's your brother Long!"

When the little Qilin saw the little gold, it was startled at first, and then jumped off Nian Nian's hand.

It landed on Little Golden Head, hugged its dragon horns, and shook it from side to side.

Xiao Jin: "..."

Little Niannian laughed heartily.

The remnant soul of the withered tree sage watched this scene quietly, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Your Excellency, Immortal Emperor."

His voice echoed softly.

"I have a request."

"explain."

Luo Tian glanced at him.

"Though I am dead, my lingering spirit has not yet dissipated."

If the body could be rebuilt, perhaps one could live another life.

Venerable Kumu paused for a moment.

"Your subordinate is willing to pledge allegiance to Your Majesty and serve Your Majesty."

"I only ask that Your Majesty help me rebuild my physical body so that you can lead me back to the Immortal Realm in the future."

Luo Tian remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright! If I can find the materials or a suitable body, I will help you."

The remnant soul of the withered tree was overjoyed, and the eerie light within the skeleton flickered intensely.

"Thank you, Your Excellency! Thank you, Your Excellency!"

Luo Tian raised his hand, and a golden light shot into the skeleton, taking the remnant soul of the withered tree venerable into his sea of ​​consciousness.

……

Just as the group was about to leave, a whooshing sound suddenly came from outside the cave.

Three figures flew in from a distance.

The one leading them was Han Zifeng.

Behind him were Lin Qingxuan and Bai Ruoxi.

The three men exuded a sharp aura, their eyes filled with killing intent.

"Luo Tian, ​​we've finally found you!"

Han Zifeng landed at the entrance of the cave, drew his sword and pointed it at Luo Tian.

"I never expected that you would actually find a Qilin cub."

However, it belongs to us now!

Han Zifeng revealed a sinister, wicked smile.

"Hand over all the opportunities and treasures you obtained from the secret realm, along with that golden dragon and the little Qilin, and I might grant you a proper burial!"

Lin Qingxuan and Bai Ruoxi blocked Luo Tian's retreat, one on the left and one on the right.

Luo Tian looked at them, a smile curving his lips.

"Coming here to die again?"

Han Zifeng's face darkened:

"Still talking tough even when you're about to die!"

"We three are at the Nascent Soul stage, are we afraid of just one of you?"

Lin Qingxuan continued:

"Luo Tian, ​​if you know what's good for you, hand over all the treasures. We don't want to fight."

Bai Ruoxi didn't speak, but the long sword in her hand was already drawn.

Luo Tian looked at the three of them calmly.

Little Niannian, holding the little Qilin, hid behind Luo Tian, ​​peeked out with her little head, and said in a childish voice:

"You bad people, you're trying to steal Nian Nian's treasure again!"

Han Zifeng sneered:

"Little girl, we'll take you back later and turn you into a human pig."

Little Niannian hugged the little Qilin tightly, pouting:

"Nian Nian isn't afraid of you at all!"

"I'm at the Nascent Soul stage now, so Nian Nian might hit you guys if she gets angry!"

Ye Qianxue and Li Mengmeng stood on either side of Xiao Niannian, protecting her.

The Ice Soul Sword was drawn, exuding a chilling aura.

The sword-nurturing gourd hovered above Li Mengmeng's head, with eighty-one spirit swords ready to fly out at any moment.

The little golden plate rested on Xiao Niannian's shoulder, its dragon eyes icy cold.

"Are you three idiots? Look how many Nascent Soul stage cultivators I have here?"

"Did your brains get stuck in the air while you were flying on your swords?"

Luo Tian glanced at him sideways, his tone extremely arrogant.

"Three...three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, two half-step Nascent Soul stage cultivators...how is that possible?"

"How long has it been? You've all broken through a major realm..."

Han Zifeng was so shocked that he stammered.

Inside the cave, the atmosphere became extremely subtle...
