The End of the World

Early May, Heaven's Edge.

Halfway up a cliff thirty to forty meters high, there was a hidden, narrow cave entrance.

Inside the cave, Jiang Ruyi sat in meditation as usual, cultivating in silence. Nestled in her arms was an exquisite Precious Gourd.

Every so often, she could sense Little Chifeng's restless heart.

It was not because it wanted to play, but because it yearned to go a step further!

As early as February of this year, when Lu Ran advanced, Little Chifeng had studied the effects of its new magic tool alongside its Master.

It wanted to control every enemy it swallowed into its belly!

By now, Little Chifeng had traveled farther and farther down this path.

"Good." Jiang Ruyi rarely offered praise as she gently patted the Precious Gourd in her arms.

"Buzz~" Little Chifeng was overjoyed by the praise.

Jiang Ruyi smiled. "If you can truly advance into a Third Stage Magic Tool and gain this effect, you really will be able to help him a great deal."

"Cry~"

The Golden Phoenix Pattern quietly lit up, and the artifact spirit flew out.

Little Chifeng, woven from golden threads, flapped its beautiful phoenix wings and circled Jiang Ruyi once before finally landing on the Female Master's shoulder.

"Help Mom too~"

Jiang Ruyi froze, then a blush spread across her cheeks.

Little Chifeng rarely spoke human words. Most of the time, it only cried like a phoenix.

Yet now it had suddenly said that. It truly was... well.

Who knew what that bad guy had been thinking, constantly instilling such notions into Little Chifeng?

Perhaps it was because Little Chifeng was simply too adorable.

It spoke in a soft, babyish voice, like an immature child, making people want to cherish it.

Or perhaps Lu Ran wanted a little baby?
