"Senior Sister, this treasure is fated to be with you."
A strange voice rang out inside Lu Xuan's Cave Mansion.
The White Jade Sky Supporting Ape wore a smile as it spoke to a graceful female cultivator.
The woman put away the Shadow Stone and looked curiously at the Xiao Bai Ape, unable to understand why it had acted that way.
"Senior Sister Ye, this Spirit Beast of mine has been insufficiently trained and is somewhat mischievous. Please forgive it, Senior Sister."
Lu Xuan explained to the graceful woman with a smile.
"No matter. Many thanks to Junior Brother Lu for selling me a Shadow Stone this time. It is getting late, so I shall take my leave first."
Her smile bloomed like a flower, and it was obvious that she was in an exceptionally good mood.
After she left, Lu Xuan returned to the courtyard and shot the Xiao Bai Ape a fierce glare.
"Don't make me slap you at my happiest moment."
Having heard that line several times, the fellow had already learned to answer before being prompted.
"Master, I was wrong. I won't do it again."
The Xiao Bai Ape hurriedly threw itself at Lu Xuan's feet and tightly hugged his calf.
"I just thought it was so amusing whenever I said that line. Seeing that scene just now, it slipped right out of my mouth."
Pinching its throat, the White Jade Sky Supporting Ape explained.
"Let there not be a next time."
Lu Xuan was merely pretending to be angry and did not truly take it to heart.
"Alright! Don't worry, master, I won't tell those senior and junior brothers of yours."
The Xiao Bai Ape grinned, revealing a mouthful of large, gleaming jade-white teeth.
"At least you know what's good for you."
Leaving those words
