After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

"We all heard what the shopkeeper said just now. You're the ones who've been stirring up trouble."

"Now they're turning around and blaming us."

"Tsk. Are you really the daughter of the City Lord of Xiliang City? How could the daughter of the City Lord of Xiliang City be such a petty and trouble-making person? You must be an imposter!"

"Exactly!"

The diners chatted amongst themselves, their gazes fixed on the two men with mockery and disdain.

Li Jue felt a little embarrassed.

He is a man.

He's a man who cares about his reputation.

So, Li Jue lowered his head and gently coaxed Liu Linlin, "Alright, Linlin. This meal isn't really necessary. How about we go somewhere else?"

Liu Linlin was actually annoyed and embarrassed by these voices.

But she didn't want to just let it go.

She had never suffered such injustice in her life.

Liu Linlin glanced at Luo Huanzhen, who was engrossed in eating, and the cute little spirit beast beside her, and her heart stirred.

She said pitifully to Li Jue, "But we're going back to Xiliang City soon, and I'll be very disappointed if I don't get to eat at this restaurant..."

Li Jue coaxed gently, "Alright, alright, it's not like we won't come to Louzhong City again. Next time I'll book a private room in advance, and we can eat slowly and eat our fill, okay? We'll go to another restaurant, and I'll buy you whatever you want. After we're done shopping, we'll go back to Xiliang City."

Liu Linlin nodded, half-heartedly.

Then, with a matter-of-fact expression, she said to Luo Huanzhen, "Since that's the case, then I, Liu Linlin, will give you this table. Shouldn't you thank me?"

Luo actually gnawed on a big chicken leg, his cheeks bulging from the meaty Saide.

When she heard Liu Linlin say this, she didn't even understand it for a moment.

What?

How did it become her giving in to him?

Should we thank her?

Luo Zhenhuan was completely baffled. She chewed the meat a couple of times but didn't say anything.

Liu Linlin continued, "As a token of my gratitude, you can sell your spirit pet to me. How many spirit stones? I can afford it."

Upon hearing this, Luo Huanzhen hugged the little Taotie and shook his head vigorously.

"Not for sale."

This is her little mythical beast!

Liu Linlin frowned. "Hey, although you might have some money, the clothes you're wearing are pretty ordinary. You definitely can't afford to keep this spirit pet. Look at how much it eats. Letting me raise it would be better for both of you."

The little glutton did eat quite a lot.

At first, it tried to eat slowly, but by the end, it couldn't control itself at all.

With its mouth wide open and its long tongue curling up, the plate was swept clean in an instant.

In the short time it took Liu Linlin to cause trouble, the dishes on the table were all gone, with only the roast chicken in front of Luo Zhenhuan still "alive".

At this moment, the little glutton was staring longingly at Luo Huanzhen's mouth and the roast chicken in front of her.

My saliva started flowing again.

After Liu Linlin finished speaking, she waved her hand and ordered the guards behind her, "Quickly, take out all your spirit stones and give them to her!"

As she spoke, she took off her own storage bag and Li Jue's storage bag from her waist and placed them both in front of Luo Huanzhen.

In just a short while, the storage bags alone had piled up into a small mountain.

Without a doubt, there were even more spirit stones in the storage bag.

The little glutton was originally eyeing the roast chicken in front of Luo Zhenhuan, but when these storage bags were piled up in front of it and Luo Zhenhuan...

It couldn't help but steal a glance at the spirit stones in the storage bag.

So many, so many, so many... several times more than the small stones that it and Luo Zhenhuan had obtained through murder and robbery.

If you can get so many small stones just by selling yourself, wouldn't you no longer have to go through the trouble of luring enemies?

A brilliant idea slowly began to form in the little glutton's mind.

Before Luo Zhenhuan could even shake his head and push all the storage bags back, the little Taotie flashed and arrived at Liu Linlin's feet.

It stomped its feet in a very serious manner.

He looked up at Liu Linlin and made a prompting "Eh?" sound.

He gestured sternly: I want to go with you!

Liu Linlin was overjoyed, "It likes me!!!"

Luo Zhen felt as if the sky had fallen. She looked at the little Taotie, and her big, dark eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"Huh...huh...wait...wait...huh..."

Luo Huanzhen: "..."

What is talking?

Luo Zhen wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked up at his surroundings.

Liu Linlin and her brother Jue, along with their little dog Yangzhi, walked away triumphantly.

She was all alone there, with only half a roast chicken left to eat.

In the main hall, the other independent cultivators sighed, their eyes filled with sympathy and pity for Luo Huanzhen.

It was obvious to everyone that Luo was really unwilling and reluctant.

But what can you do when the other party has deep pockets?

Moreover, that spirit beast was quite a scoundrel; it simply followed someone else and left without even glancing back at its former master when it left the gate.

What an ungrateful wretch!

It's a shame that this little fellow Daoist brought it to a restaurant and ordered so many expensive dishes for it.

Only Luo Huanzhen, choking back tears, quickly gathered the storage bags on the table while looking down.

And she whispered to Banlan in her heart.

【Colorful. Just now, when the puppy sheep left, I think I heard it send me a telepathic message?】

Banlan couldn't hear, but she was quite curious. Generally speaking, mythical beasts do indeed possess the ability to transmit sound without being taught.

This is called the first language.

[Hmm? Really? It's so small, yet it can already talk? What did it say?]

Luo Zhen thought for a moment and then repeated the Taotie cub's words.

After listening, Banlan fell silent.

[The first time she spoke, it was for something like this... Unbelievable...]

Luo Huanzhen lowered his head and quickly walked out of the restaurant, sobbing as he asked.

[What kind of thing is this? Should I still go looking for it? Mythical beasts have their own rights. If it wants to follow that girl, shouldn't I stop pestering it?]

You don't need to look for it; it will come back.

Really? But it's already gone...

Luo Zhenhuan pouted, looking a little sad.

She really liked the little Taotie and didn't want it to go with anyone else.

Banlan sat up in the void, rubbed her forehead, and said in a deep voice.

[This little divine beast looks innocent, but it's actually quite cunning... It's making you wait for it, but it's not genuinely following that girl. It's just pretending to follow her so you can take these spirit stones and it can then find a chance to escape back to your side.]
