nChapter 4

nReverend Chi Yang frowned slightly as he watched Xiao Changtian leave.

nThat’s right!

nThose two experts were both above the Golden Core Realm.

nIt would be a piece of cake if they wanted to hide their auras.

nThe person in front of him was only a mortal. How could he have seen a fight between cultivators?

n…

nMeanwhile, Xiao Changtian found some bricks and soil to build a small kennel for the puppy.

nThen, he took some food the system gave him and fed the puppy.

n“Ding! The host has been detected to have fed a second animal. Reward: He’s a master of calligraphy.”

nThe system’s notification rang out in Xiao Changtian’s mind.

nXiao Changtian didn’t show any surprise. Instead, his face was calm.

nBy now, he was proficient in the four arts, including calligraphy.

nIf it were in his previous life, he would have become a star with his looks and talent.

nBut now…

nThey were pointless.

nIn the world of immortal cultivation, these skills were of little value.

nHe would have to live a boring and peaceful life.

nXiao Changtian would feed the animals daily, work at sunrise, rest at sunset, and never stay up late to cultivate.

nHalf a month later, a red ray of light came from the distant sky. After it reached the sky above the small courtyard, it began to dissipate.

nMu Jiuhuang’s figure disappeared along with the red light and appeared in front of the small courtyard.

nLooking at the small courtyard before her, Mu Jiuhuang felt grateful. After returning to the Nine Phoenix Dynasty, she discovered that the Black Fiend Daoist had died.

nShe was certain the person who could kill Black Fiend Daoist was the senior.

nRecalling that night, in her panic, she had laid on the senior’s body, and her pretty face instantly flushed red.

nMu Jiuhuang saw Xiao Changtian’s figure through the door.

nHer beautiful eyes locked onto Xiao Changtian.

nXiao Changtian threw a corn kernel into the pool, and the tortoise ate it.

n“Black Tortoise eats ordinary grains?

nThe Black Tortoise is a divine beast from the Greater Vehicle Realm. How can it cultivate by relying on ordinary corn?”

nMu Jiuhuang looked at the corn and opened the Eyes of the Divine Phoenix, but she still couldn’t see anything.

n“Are they just ordinary corn?”

nMu Jiuhuang squinted her eyes, and her pretty face looked astonished.

nAlthough the Black Tortoise was a divine beast, there were only two ways to cultivate into that realm.

nOne was to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while the other was to listen to the Supreme Dao and breakthrough in his enlightenment.

n“Could it be that senior has taught the Supreme Dao to Black Tortoise?

nIt must be that!”

nMu Jiuhuang was shocked by her speculation. That was the only way to explain why the Black Tortoise could cultivate the Greater Vehicle Realm while eating grains.

n“If only I could follow his side and listen to his lecture…

nWouldn’t that mean I would quickly become a Greater Vehicle Realm cultivator?

nI must stay by senior’s side then.”

nMu Jiuhuang thought to herself as she stood before the courtyard gate and greeted softly, “May I come in?”

nHearing someone calling from outside the door, Xiao Changtian put down the corn in his hand and looked up.

n“Huh?”

n“Isn’t this the woman from before?”

nXiao Changtian was puzzled. He looked at Mu Jiuhuang and found her face was ruddy and springy. It was apparent that her previous injuries had recovered.

n“Oh, it’s you. Come in.”

nXiao Changtian beckoned with his hand. Recalling that sudden softness, he couldn’t help but feel some reminiscence in his heart.

n“Could it be that she had come back to find me?” He thought.

nXiao Changtian’s heart was filled with joy, but he suppressed his emotions and didn’t let himself get too excited.

nOtherwise, he might faint again.

n“Thanks.”

nMu Jiuhuang’s face lit up. She didn’t expect the senior to remember her.

nShe walked into the courtyard and said respectfully, “Thank you for your help last time. I’m here to repay your kindness.”

nMu Jiuhuang bowed respectfully to Xiao Changtian. It made her feel like he was wearing short clothes in the snow because she was facing Xiao Changtian.

nThat was because he knew that senior had returned to his true self and concealed himself from the world of mortals, so he did not want to be disturbed.

nShe even deliberately changed the title senior to you.

nMu Jiuhuang said as she took out a pen.

nIt was a quill, its feathers like burning flames. The bone in the middle was a pure and flawless white.

n“I have nothing to repay you with. I can only give you this Phoenix Feather Brush as a thank-you gift,” Mu Jiuhuang said respectfully.

nThis Phoenix Feather Brush was made from a Phoenix’s feathers, a precious item in the Nine Phoenix Empire.

nIt was tough to control the Phoenix Feather Brush.

nThe user must have an extremely high level of attainment in the path of painting.

nXiao Changtian had already prepared to sacrifice himself to help others repay their kindness.

nHowever, he instantly lost interest when he saw that it was a pen.

n“Forget it. Although it’s not worth much, it’s still a token of your sincerity.”

nXiao Changtian sighed and took the Phoenix Feather Brush.

n“Is a Phoenix Feather Brush not enough to catch the senior’s eye?”

nMu Jiuhuang looked into Xiao Changtian’s eyes and seemed a little disappointed.

n“That’s right. Senior’s tortoise is a Black Tortoise. A Phoenix Feather Brush is nothing to him.”

nMu Jiuhuang instantly understood what she had done wrong.

n” Senior, one Phoenix Feather Brush is not enough. Why don’t I stay here? I can serve you as a maid.”

nMu Jiuhuang took the opportunity to speak again.

nShe was the great Emperor Jiuhuang. If people knew that she was a maid, they would be shocked.

nHowever, she knew very well that it was a supreme opportunity for her to listen to the Supreme Dao of such an expert while he was serving him!

n“As a maid? That’s fine.”

nXiao Changtian’s heart was filled with joy. The maid could warm his bed and also…

nHowever, although Xiao Changtian was happy, he definitely couldn’t show it. What if he scared the girl away?

n“If you want to be my maid, that’s fine too.”

nHearing this, Mu Jiuhuang’s face bloomed with joy. Just as she was about to thank him, Xiao Changtian said, “But you have to give up some things. It’s up to you if you can accept it.”

n“Give up some things?

nCould it be that the senior wants my…?

nHearing this, Mu Jiuhuang’s fair face blushed.

nHowever, it was to become a senior’s maid, serve the senior, repay the senior’s life-saving grace, and even have the opportunity to listen to the Supreme Dao.

nThat was a supreme opportunity!

nCompared to the unparalleled opportunity, so what if she abandoned her body?

n“I… can do it.”
