Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

Bai Xiaobai's words made A Yin even more curious about her.

"If you discovered it so early, why did you pretend you didn't know?"

Bai Xiaobai chuckled, her soft, childlike voice carrying a hint of maturity.

"At first, I didn't know if you were friend or foe. But after hearing Tiger's little brother talk about you, I guessed that you must be the white tiger he was talking about. Then we accidentally stumbled into the secret realm. When we came out, we found you still outside. I guessed that you must know the location of this secret realm and be quite curious about it."

"Sister Ayin, Xuanhu and I have successfully broken out of the secret realm and obtained twenty demon cores from third-tier ferocious beasts. If you join us, we should be able to obtain even more. If we can go in a few more times, we will get even more demon cores. Once you absorb all these demon cores, your strength will definitely increase greatly, and the restriction suppressing your cultivation should be able to be broken."

At this point, she gave Xuanhu a meaningful look.

With these three days of tacit cooperation, Xuanhu quickly understood Bai Xiaobai's meaning.

It immediately turned over and fawned over the white tiger, Ah Yin.

"Ah Yin, haven't you always wanted to leave the Monster Forest and regain your freedom? Although this 'Ferocious Beast Secret Realm' is full of dangers, with me here, I will definitely protect you. When the time comes, we'll join forces and be able to take care of those ferocious beasts one by one."

After saying that, it tentatively tried to rub its big head against Ah Yin's body, but was swatted away by a claw again.

Ah Yin circled around Bai Xiaobai again and again, carefully examining her human form, which had almost solidified into a tangible form.

Just as Bai Xiaobai was about to get dizzy from being spun around, A Yin finally spoke again.

"Alright, I can agree to go with you. But I want half of the demon cores obtained from the secret realm."

Before Bai Xiaobai could even speak, Xuanhu had already readily agreed.

"No problem, Ah Yin, all the demon cores I obtained in the secret realm are yours."

Seeing this, Bai Xiaobai didn't say anything more.

In short, it means having an extra helper and an extra layer of security.

Although the number of demon cores has increased relatively, according to what Xuanhu said before, Ah Yin's cultivation level before being suppressed was far higher than its own.

So even if his cultivation level is suppressed to the third rank now, his previous combat experience should still be sufficient.

Besides, isn't it said that tigresses are more formidable?

She responded quickly.

"No problem, Sister Yin. But let's not rush in. Let me go back to Xiaoyao Peak and have something to eat first."

At this point, Bai Xiaobai felt an even greater hunger pang in her stomach.

Although the flesh of those ferocious beasts in the secret realm was edible, she was a clean little snake and simply couldn't stomach raw meat.

Moreover, she and Xuanhu, one a snake and the other a tiger, were indeed not good at starting a fire and roasting meat, so they managed to get through these few days.

But it could also be because of the spiritual energy within her body; although she felt hungry, it was far less intense than before.

Ah Yin didn't say anything more, but simply bent down to make it easier for Bai Xiaobai to get up.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaobai didn't linger and quickly climbed onto A Yin's back.

But once she went up there, she realized that tigers were indeed different from tigers.

Compared to Xuanhu's coarse and stiff fur that pricks the body, Ayin's tiger fur is much more comfortable.

Not only does it not prick your skin at all, but it's also soft and fragrant, just like lying on soft cotton.

As Ah Yin leaped into the air, Xuan Hu only felt a flash of white light before his eyes.

Looking again, it had completely vanished.

Its tiger eyes sparkled as it stared adoringly at the square where Ah Yin and Bai Xiaobai had disappeared.

As expected of the little white tiger it loves, it is indeed dashing and heroic.

At the exit of the Monster Forest, Shen Ji lay lazily on the recliner brought by Yuan Bao, closing his eyes to rest and enjoying the gentle evening breeze with a contented expression.

Yuanbao paced back and forth anxiously.

It had been four days since his junior sister entered the Monster Forest.

It has already exceeded the one-day time limit originally planned by Master by a full three days.

In Yuanbao's understanding of his junior sister, the danger and poison of this monster forest were no less than those of the Thousand Treasure Cave.

But his heart was burning with anxiety, filled with worry. Yet his master was not worried at all, and would only come here to sit for a while each day.

As dusk approached, she didn't want to stay a moment longer and took him away.

You said he wasn't in a hurry, and that he also told himself not to get anxious or upset.

They even said that their junior sister was exceptionally talented and had a knack for finding dog poop (meaning she was incredibly lucky).

Perhaps they've already encountered some extraordinary adventure in the Monster Forest, which is why they've been delayed.

In response, Yuanbao could only pray that his junior sister had indeed encountered some extraordinary adventure, just as their master had said.

But as the sun was about to set, there was still no movement in the woods.

Yuanbao could no longer wait calmly.

"Master, why don't you remove the barrier? I'd like to go in and look for Junior Sister. It's been four whole days already; what if something happened to her?"

After hearing Yuanbao's words, Shen Ji slowly opened his eyes, his face showing his usual gentle expression.

He looked up and gestured for Yuanbao to look in the direction of the Monster Forest, "We're here now, aren't we? Look."

Then he snapped his fingers casually, and the barrier covering the monster forest instantly disappeared.

Yuanbao turned around and looked ahead, and heard his junior sister's soft, clear, and excited little voice coming from there.

"Ah Yin, you're amazing! Let's go even faster."

Upon hearing Bai Xiaobai's voice, Yuanbao, who had been frowning for several days, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Before he could even utter the words "Junior Sister," a white tiger with golden stripes on its snow-white fur appeared in his line of sight.

When Bai Xiaobai saw Shen Ji and Yuan Bao clearly, she became even more excited.

"Senior Brother Yuanbao."

You asked her why she only called him "Senior Brother Yuanbao" and ignored her master, Shen Ji.

It's because she holds grudges.

In the blink of an eye, Ah Yin appeared with Bai Xiaobai less than a foot away from Yuanbao and Shen Ji.

When Yuanbao saw the almost solidified baby-shaped figure floating above his junior sister's body, he was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

"Master...Master, Junior Sister...it seems like there's a chubby baby above her."

Shen Ji's smile deepened.

Compared to Yuanbao's shock, he was much calmer.

They seemed completely unsurprised by the changes that had occurred to Bai Xiaobai.

Instead, he turned his gaze to the white tiger, Ah Yin, who had been observing him since earlier.

Meeting Shen Ji's gaze, Ah Yin felt as if this person had seen right through her, inside and out.

It was wary of Shen Ji, always feeling that this person's cultivation was unfathomable, and its body unconsciously took a few steps back.

But to A Yin's surprise, after Shen Ji glanced at it a few times, he actually spoke to it.

"Would you like to be the little guy's mount?"
