Slow Fairy Road (Fairy Spirit Realm)

  For half a year, Xiao Yao has been busy with her tasks to earn merits and hasn't paid attention to the movements within the White Jade Pavilion. She hadn't met this Zi Dong in half a year either, and had long thrown the matter out of her mind. How could she have expected that they would suddenly meet again in an opposing manner? If this person was really that infamous Zi Dong, wouldn't their kind be sending sheep into the tiger's mouth, unable to escape being toyed with by fate? Thinking of this, she unconsciously pressed down on the crowd, lowering her presence. After entering the boundary, it would be necessary to keep a distance from this person.

  This time, the leader who led the way to "Kunlun Realm" was a senior in the first stage of cultivation, and also an elder in charge of the White Jade Pavilion. He stood alone in mid-air, looking down at the crowd below. When noon arrived, he took out a dragon-headed red lacquer boat-shaped magic treasure and transmitted his voice to the crowd: "All disciples listen! It's already noon, quickly board the magic tool, no delay!"

  Only then did the dragon boat ritual vessel appear in mid-air, growing from the size of a palm to a large ship that could hold hundreds of people. Li Man and his party were the first to act, boarding the big ship.

  Xiao Yao looked at Zi Dong following behind their group, then disappeared into the boat. Only then did she follow the remaining cultivators onto the boat. On the boat, Wang Fu handed a copy of half of Lian Man's list to her and left a "contact token" so that they could find each other for trade when it was time to end.

  From the White Jade City to the "Kunlun Realm", it takes half a time to ride in a law enforcement vehicle. Xiao Yao alone found a place with fewer people on the deck and checked the other half of the list.

  At this time, the leopard also crawled out and sat beside her, listlessly twirling the jade chopsticks on the ground. As a result, the jade chopsticks rolled unstably forward until they touched someone's shoe tip before stopping.

  Xiao Yao and Baozi Dun were both startled, their spirits on high alert as they stared at the newcomer. The dragon boat was not large, yet with their divine consciousness, they had been unable to detect when this person had approached!

  "Could this be a Daoist's object?" Zidong picked up the jade slip in front of his foot and handed it to Xiao Yao.

  "Thank you, fellow Taoist." Xiao Yao took the jade slip from his hand, expressionless, and after thanking him, she didn't say another word.

  Zi Dong, however, showed no intention of leaving and instead sat cross-legged to the side, watching the leopard with great interest. "This spiritual pet of yours is quite interesting," he said. "From earlier on, it's been baring its teeth and glaring at me, seemingly very displeased with me."

  Xiao Yao glared at the leopard, seeing that it was staring intently at Zi Dong, its eyes gleaming with an indescribable excitement. She thought to herself: This is not good, the leopard's innate ferocity has been stirred up! Hurriedly, she pressed the leopard's head towards the deck and said: "Don't mind, fellow Taoist, this beast was born with such an expression, it looks like it's provoking anyone, even me."

  "Is it? I think its eyes are quite good, clearly showing joy and anger, very much to my taste." Zidong was still very interested in watching the leopard that was being pressed on the deck, struggling desperately. The strong killing intent emanating from its body was so intense that it could not be ignored.

  Finally, Xiao Yao couldn't take it anymore and transmitted a message through her divine sense: "Do you want to break off the leg that has just been reattached?"

  The leopard stopped struggling, closed its eyes and lay down beside it, pretending to be dead, but the resentful expression on its face still revealed its thoughts, which was already very unhappy at this moment.

  Xiao Yao Song let go of his hand and didn't even look up at him, only saying: "Fellow Taoist, is there anything else?"

  Zi Dong didn't answer, only asking: "Can I touch it?" As he spoke, his hand naturally reached out to stroke the leopard's head.

  Just as he was about to touch the soft yellow fur, the leopard suddenly opened its eyes and jumped up, with a swipe of its paw, and angrily said: "Get your dirty hands away! Does old man not show his might, you really think old man is a plaything?!"

  In an instant, Xiao Yao was frightened, Zi Dong slightly stunned, both staring at the leopard's sharp claws, with a thread of blood on top, dripping down from the claw tip.

  "Hahaha, this spiritual pet is indeed interesting," Zidong looked at the three deep scars on his hand and burst into laughter, not getting angry at all. Instead, he asked Xiao Yao with a smile: "It's rare to encounter such a spirited spiritual pet, are you willing to give it up to me?", as he spoke, his eyes sparkled with desire for conquest, full of excitement, just like finding a new toy.

  The leopard first stared at Zidong with a fierce gaze, then turned his head to stare at Xiao Yao, his eyes filled with naked threats: You dare to have the idea of buying out Laozi, try it!

  Xiao Yao let out a soft sigh, thinking to herself: Why did Zi Dong take a liking to the leopard? Had he discovered something? She then pulled the leopard's tail and drew it closer to her, speaking in a firm tone: "Sorry, although this beast has a bad temper and a sharp tongue, I've grown accustomed to having it by my side. I never thought of selling it, so please, friend, do as you will."

  Her tone implied that she didn't want to discuss it anymore. Unexpectedly, the other party was completely unaware and raised a mysterious smile at the corner of his lips: "Why don't you listen to my offer first? If you don't even listen and directly refuse, aren't you afraid of missing out on a good treasure and regretting it later?"

  This hypocritical tone, the plot of tempting with treasures, is so familiar! The painful lessons of blood and tears are still vivid in her mind, as if they were experienced yesterday, how could she possibly forget.

  Suddenly, Xiao Yao's heart was filled with all sorts of bitter thoughts, and alarm bells started ringing - this guy is actually me!

  "What treasure does Fellow Daoist want to exchange?" She swallowed hard, some things had to be made clear.

  Seeing the other party's interest, Zidong smiled even more and said: "This is just right, without even discussing the stakes, Daoist friend has put on an inhumane appearance. However, if you miss this opportunity, I will also regret it for you."

  He turned his palm upwards, and a pair of pale golden boots appeared. The boots had wings on them, emitting a faint five-colored glow, hazy and floating, it was clear at first glance that they were no ordinary objects.

  Xiao Yao himself was a master craftsman, and without even touching it, just by observing its appearance and sensing it with his divine consciousness, he could already feel the aura of heavenly might contained within. Any artifact that possessed such an aura of heavenly might was definitely not something that could be easily forged by human hands, which explained why this boot was naturally born from the nurturing of heaven and earth. Such a treasure existed only in ten pieces in the Xianling Realm - the divine artifact, Pursuing Day Boot!

  It's said that the emergence of a divine artifact anywhere in the Spiritual Realm can stir up a storm of blood and rain! And yet, he actually uses it as a bargaining chip to exchange for a spiritual pet? This kind of bizarre behavior finally confirms that this person is none other than Zidong.

  At this moment she was internally turbulent, but her face was extremely calm: "What is the method of these boots and what effect do they have?"

  Seeing his calm expression and voice without any fluctuations, Zidong slightly raised an eyebrow and said: "The person who sold me this item said it was a family heirloom, a top-grade bronze spiritual instrument. As for its use, that person only told me that only someone with fate can activate it. Unfortunately, I am not the destined owner of this treasure, now using it to exchange for your spiritual pet is not beneath me, what do you think?"

  Xiao Yao listened and didn't know whether to cry or laugh, feeling that this person was really too ridiculous! Forcing a divine artifact to be said as a bronze yellow law instrument, digging such a big pit, is it waiting for oneself to jump in and collect the net?!

  She didn't know if others would fall for it, but just because of the name "Zi Dong", even if he used a magic crystal to entice her, she was unwilling to pay attention!

  After saying "I'm not interested", she got up and carried the leopard away, planning to change places.
