Chapter 1348: Demonic Pet
Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion.
Bai Susu lazily leaned against the spiritual pool, looking at Wang Chen who had just walked out of the room, a playful smile curling at the corners of her lips.
She belonged to the species of Flood Python, fond of water and wood. Since arriving at the Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion, she personally built this spiritual pool, channeling the water veins of the Cave Mansion inside as her resting place.
Usually, when there's nothing else to do, this Monster Immortal would comfortably soak in the spiritual pool to quietly recuperate.
And the teasing look in her eyes made Wang Chen's seasoned face flush, causing him to cough twice to break the awkwardness.
The time flow differs between the Haotian Realm and the Starry Seas Realm. He had been separated from Xu Xinlan and Su Ziling for about half a year.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, so naturally, there was some amorous indulgence upon returning.
Speaking of it, because of the huge difference in physique, even though Wang Chen carefully controlled himself repeatedly, the two women couldn't bear the strain, and were presently sleeping soundly in the room.
Bai Susu reached out with her delicate hand, stirred a handful of spring water, and then asked, "Are you leaving again?"
Wang Chen sat down beside her, nodding: "Yes."
Although Bai Susu was of the Monster Race, the two met in the Mountain and Sea Realm and reunited in the Haotian Realm, making their bond quite deep.
They could indeed be considered Dao partners.
This Dao companionship has nothing to do with romantic feelings but is about seeking the Dao together as partners.
Bai Susu's knowledge is extremely vast. Through exchanges with her, Wang Chen has indeed been greatly benefited.
So he didn't hide from her, sharing his need for Five Elements Spiritual Objects and his decision to hunt Outsider Heavenly Demons at the Realm Border.
Bai Susu listened quietly, and suddenly said: "Take me with you."
"Ah?"
Wang Chen was instantly dumbfounded: "Take you to the Realm Border?"
How could that be!
It's not that Wang Chen underestimated Bai Susu; she is at least a Monster Monarch level being, just temporarily fallen from her realm, yet her strength remains unfathomable.
The problem is that Bai Susu is of the Monster Race. If he takes her out before reaching the Realm Border, she might be suppressed by the Nine States Immortal Alliance's Power Men first!
The Nine States Immortal Alliance hosts beings even of Divine Transformation and Integration levels.
"What are you afraid of!"
Bai Susu charmingly rolled her eyes at him, then opened her cherry lips and spat out a Jade Token.
She said: "This is a Control Demon Card; it has a bit of my True Spirit sealed in it. When the time comes, I'll manifest my true form and accompany you."
Wang Chen was suddenly enlightened.
Bai Susu was evidently planning to blend into the Realm Border under the guise of being his demon pet.
Yet Wang Chen remained curious: "Why must you go there?"
"The Realm Border connects to the Void."
Bai Susu explained: "It can tap into the power of the Void, which greatly benefits my cultivation. If it weren't inappropriate for me to go to the Monster Race side right now, I wouldn't have come to seek your help."
"Once there, I can help keep house for you and won't hold you back."
Her words had reached this point; Wang Chen couldn't refuse: "Alright then."
At that moment, Yuanyuan sprang out from the side, pouting and said: "Master, I also want to go with you."
"Be good."
Wang Chen patted the little girl's head: "It's very dangerous there. I'll take you out to play when I return, okay?"
Yuanyuan was still very obedient and reluctantly nodded: "Alright then."
Wang Chen encouraged: "Train hard, and once you break through the realm, I'll gift you a treasure."
The little guy was actually very lazy, often eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, with a greediness and love for fun, hardly putting effort into cultivation.
But Wang Chen was still willing to pamper her.
According to Bai Susu, Yuanyuan was an innate Spirit Monster, and even if her realm does not advance, her lifespan far exceeds that of a Golden Core True Person.
With such a long lifespan, she could even reach higher tiers just by surviving.
In terms of lifespan length, the Human Race and Monster Race are really incomparable; the difference is too vast!
In the following days, Wang Chen stayed by Xu Xinlan and Su Ziling's sides, taking them to the Immortal City for shopping, loving and joyous every day.
But time flew by, and Wang Chen had to set out on a journey once more.
Xu Xinlan and Su Ziling were very understanding; even though they were reluctant, they didn't cling, guarding the Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion and striving to cultivate.
Wang Chen's progress was indeed very fast; if they didn't vigorously chase after him, they would be left far behind.
How else could they stay together forever?
And Wang Chen provided them with the best conditions for cultivation; lacking effort would be unjustified!
Since Wang Chen was taking Bai Susu with him this time, the Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion lacked her protection and naturally became less safe.
Therefore, before leaving, he completely sealed this Cave Mansion.
Even if Divine Transformation True Monarchs came to attack, it could hold for a while, enough for Xu Xinlan and Su Ziling to escape.
Of course, such a situation was almost impossible.
The Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion is extremely secretive. With the Array activated, unless a Divine Transformation True Monarch unfolds Divine Sense and carefully searches, it is impossible to find its existence.
After everything was arranged, Wang Chen took Bai Susu to Jiuzhou Immortal City, meeting Du Jiuniang once again.
"Eh?"
Upon meeting again, Du Jiuniang suddenly knitted her brows, showing a hint of confusion.
Wang Chen raised his right arm, and a little snake as white as jade poked its head out from his sleeve and immediately retreated upon seeing Du Jiuniang.
Du Jiuniang realized: "So you brought a demon pet."
She had just sensed a trace of demonic aura.
Wang Chen smiled: "Yes, this little snake is quite unusual, aiding my cultivation, so I'm bringing it to the Realm Border this time."
The little white snake was, of course, Bai Susu's true form.
In fact, Bai Susu could entirely conceal every bit of demonic aura; the reason Du Jiuniang sensed it was intentional.
It's common for cultivators to tame beasts and control demons, so rather than hiding, it's better to openly display them.
It wouldn't arouse suspicion this way.
Du Jiuniang took out a shimmering Jade Slip and handed it to Wang Chen: "This is the rare copy of Taiyi Origin Mixed Right Skill."
Wang Chen quickly accepted: "Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
He didn't know how many merit points Du Jiuniang spent to exchange for this ancient supreme study, but since it's a rare copy, it must be ample.
Though Du Jiuniang was repaying a favor, Wang Chen was still very grateful.
Du Jiuniang smiled sweetly: "Fellow Daoist, you and I don't need to be polite."
Although Wang Chen was a Loose Cultivator without any foundation, he had entered the Nascent Soul level at a young age, returned safely from the Starry Seas Vast World, and even brought back the precious World Source.
Such a person, Du Jiuniang would be willing to marry down to!
Even though Wang Chen didn't have such thoughts, in Du Jiuniang's eyes, he was undoubtedly someone very worthy as a Dao companion.
Du Jiuniang wanted to tighten their relationship further, so she went to great lengths to obtain the rare copy of the "Taiyi Origin Mixed Right Skill."
The effect was good.
Then, she introduced Wang Chen to the headquarters of the Nine States Immortal Alliance.
Given Wang Chen's current cultivation level, formally joining the Nine States Immortal Alliance poses no issue.
But he doesn't want too much constraint, so he chose to become a Guest Elder of the Nine States Immortal Alliance.
Then, he applied to venture to the Realm Border as a Guest Elder to slay Outsider Heavenly Demons!
