Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

"There have been sword immortals who rose from the ashes, whose remnants of souls could be reborn and exist forever. However, there has only been one such person throughout history."

"Or it could be the ultimate goal of alchemy, finding rare and precious materials to refine pills to help others recover. But now rare and precious materials are scarce, and those who practice alchemy are at a loss."

"The most convenient way is still to cultivate on your own. When you break through that mysterious realm, all the shortcomings may disappear, leaving only a perfect pure heart."

"In short... there are still many methods..."

Xuan said this, but it probably has no reference value for Gu Qing. He's not from this area, so where can he find connections to ask a powerful person for help? Not to mention rare and precious materials.

Is it possible to simply step out the door and pick up a fallen master, or find rare and precious herbs in a rice cooker at home? Isn't that just pure fantasy?

Even third-rate novelists wouldn't dare write like this.

Xuan shook his head. He could teach Gu Qing the Way of the Pure Heart, but it was probably too late; she seemed very anxious.

As expected, Gu Qing's face turned pale. How could her parents possibly have time to cultivate now? Moreover, although there was no threshold for Chixin cultivation, it was hard to say what level they would reach.

No matter how popular or excellent a method is, it will never be accomplished overnight.

Surely you can't magically improve your cultivation level just by sleeping, right?

Even a fifth-rate novelist wouldn't dare write like this.

Xuan asked——

"Has something very important happened to you?"

"Um……"

Gu Qing lowered her head and bit her lower lip tightly. However, Mr. Chen Ming had already promised to help her, so it didn't matter if this approach didn't work out.

He will definitely find a way.

They would probably be willing to help me for free, but I can't be that shameless.

She made up her mind in secret.

As they talked, they reached the shop entrance. Seeing that there were quite a few customers inside, they quickly grabbed their things and went inside to help in the kitchen.

Xuan was working in place of her master. Since her master was willing to be a maid, she had no choice but to help out, all for her master's sake.

Otherwise, who would want to help that bad guy's shop?

Xuan curled his lip, feeling a wave of disgust at the thought of him.

Since Gu Qing was already prepared to serve Chen Ming like a slave, she naturally had to lend a hand. To show her sincerity, she didn't hire temporary workers but instead performed the job herself.

There is a big difference between being a big boss and being a partner.

Gu Qing is certainly very knowledgeable about human relationships and social interactions.

Jingle Bell……

The bell on the door rang, and Gu Qing and Xuan walked in.

Xuan said—

"We're back... huh?"

As soon as the two entered, they were stared at by a pair of silver eyes. Xuan blinked and met their gaze.

The silver-eyed woman's expectation turned to disappointment, and she murmured—

"It's not him... why isn't he back yet?"

"Ok?"

Xuan looked at the silver-eyed woman and felt a sense of familiarity.

Chapter 556 Little Black, My Name is Little Black

Unlike that silly little Cerberus, Xuan was more serious and meticulous; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to guess Chen Ming's existence from just a few details his master had shown.

The pair of silver eyes in front of me had also shone brightly at the Sword Immortal Academy. As a challenger from the outside world, she defeated Lu Bu, the strongest Sword Immortal... Although Lu Bu lost twice in a row, everyone had witnessed her strength. She should be the strongest. She just might have been a little unlucky.

That's the only explanation. Luck is something you can't change no matter how hard you try. Maybe you should get some things to change your luck and get rid of bad luck?

Or maybe I should find a boyfriend and get married to bring good luck?

It's a bit of a pity about Lü Bu's fate, but Xuan is still happy because his master has won consecutive victories and completely escaped the shadow of the past.

Of course, she favored her master. She remembered everything about her master clearly, including the heretical emperor who had previously sparred with her master.

Huang also looked at Xuan in front of her with her silver eyes. She recognized the sword immortal who was intimate with him that day. He must be related to her, right?

Cerberus had actually met the Emperor before, but she was in the form of a puppy then. Now that she is a beautiful girl, the Emperor didn't carefully sense her presence and overlooked her.

Cerberus had indeed met the Emperor, but simply had forgotten it.

That's what a silly dog ​​is like.

After thinking for a moment, the Emperor smiled at Xuan and said—

Hello, it's nice to see you again.

"Ah hello."

Xuan nodded. She was polite but not very friendly to strangers. This somewhat aloof style inexplicably attracted some girls at school, which puzzled her.

The Empress smiled, a natural and unpretentious confidence emanating from her, not a forced or annoying gesture. She extended her hand, bowed slightly, and said—

"To be honest, it was a bit rushed back then, and I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Xiao Hei."

"Little black?"

Xuan Wei was slightly taken aback. How could such an emperor have such a name? It sounded like some random cat or dog, which was completely out of character.

She reached out and shook his hand, then hesitated slightly before saying—

"Is this a nickname?"

"Your full name is Xiao Hei. You can just call me that."

The emperor smiled confidently, seemingly without the slightest dissatisfaction with the name; on the contrary, he seemed extremely proud and eager to praise it to others.

"..."

Xuan tilted his head, a slight change appearing in his otherwise indifferent expression. Since that martial arts competition, the Sword Immortal Academy had also conducted research with that clan, learning about their customs.

Generally speaking, after bloodline awakening, one will be called "Emperor," the most noble person, and the previous name will no longer matter; one can simply be called Emperor.

Why is this emperor so eccentric, insisting that people call him Little Black?

And aren't you being too polite to yourself?

Xuan felt that he did not have the qualifications to be valued by the other party so much. Even if his master came, he would only be on equal footing. Now the emperor's humble attitude was really a bit too much.

Cerberus, who had been watching this guy with a hint of hostility, now saw Xuan chatting with him and couldn't help but tilt his head, kneeling on the chair, and say—

"mysterious."

"Hmm? What's wrong, senior?"

Xuan still held Cerberus in high esteem, even though the dog had tricked her a few times and the portal pass it gave her seemed to have some issues, causing her to get dizzy during teleportation...

However, this was also because she herself disrespected her senior...

I still have to say, what a vengeful dog.

However, we should still respect our seniors.

Since her master was a maid in this household, she should behave well and not cause her any trouble. Xuan was quite self-aware.

She obediently left the emperor and went to Cerberus's side.

Cerberus asked—

"You know her?"

"Ok?"

Xuan looked at Cerberus with confusion, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded her—

"Well, we must have met during a picnic at the Sword Immortal Academy."

"what?"

Cerberus stared blankly at the ceiling, pondering for a moment... It seemed that there really had been such a person.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she coughed before speaking—

"I, of course I know, I was just testing whether you had forgotten."

"..."

Genki kept a blank expression, showing no reaction. He secretly noted down the fact that Senior Cerberus might have a bad memory.

It always feels a bit odd that such a renowned senior is actually an idiot.

The Emperor frowned slightly as he looked at Cerberus, who had called Xuan over. Why did this guy's actions always seem to carry a slightly unpleasant feeling?

It's somewhat like the saying "two tigers cannot share one mountain"?

The emperor pursed his lips and then looked at Gu Qing, who was following behind him.

The Lilith within Gu Qing trembled slightly upon seeing those silver eyes and quickly said to Gu Qing—

"I'm off."

As she spoke, she retreated into the depths of Gu Qing's heart.

"..."

Gu Qing twitched his lips. This guy was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. When he encountered a big shot, he would either run away or bow down and worship without any psychological barrier.

Seeing Lilith's demeanor, Gu Qing realized she was a powerful figure and quickly nodded, saying—

"Hello, I'm Gu Qing."

"...Hello, are you one too?"

"what?"

"nothing."

The emperor smiled and glanced at Gu Qing's chest. Although she was petite, her figure was actually quite good, and his future children would not lack nutrition.
