You Stay Here, Don't Move, I'm Going to Buy a

"Then how do you know their identities?" Little Kitten asked again.

Da Huang wagged his tail. "Kunpeng is well-traveled; he told me."

"Why don't we scare them?" Little Kitten said with a grin.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The mountain wind rustled, and the trees swayed. Under the hazy night sky, the phantom image of a giant beast gradually spread, eventually enveloping the entire small courtyard.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, who were quietly meditating and sensing Dao Rhyme, were greatly alarmed.

Demons!

And demons at the Quasi-Saint realm!

Impossible. After the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, even Grand Unity experts were rare. How could demons at the Quasi-Saint realm suddenly appear out of nowhere!

This aura was clearly not Di Jun's or Taiyi's!

This is bad. Could this small courtyard be the dojo of this powerful demon?

It must be. Otherwise, why would there be this Thatched Hut that can condense Dao Rhyme?

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun broke out in a cold sweat.

No wonder this Quasi-Saint demon could reach such a realm silently. It seemed this Thatched Hut was the key.

What should we do? We're currently occupying someone else's dojo and have absorbed its essence. This is equivalent to cutting off their opportunities.

We will definitely face furious retaliation and attacks.

Although we are both Quasi-Saints, demon races are inherently strong in defense and have powerful physiques, not to mention many innate divine abilities.

"Roar!"

With a massive tiger's roar, the colossal White Tiger phantom gazed down upon the small Thatched Hut.

Disaster! The situation is even worse than we imagined. This might be the Sacred Beast White Tiger!

A top-tier demon of the Primordial Era!

Pure bloodline, astonishing divine abilities!

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun braced themselves, but dared not step outside.

They quickly clasped their hands in greeting and bowed repeatedly: "Fellow White Tiger Daoist, please forgive us. We humbly apologize; we did not intend to offend!"

"Roar!"

The White Tiger roared again, its immense sonic waves shaking Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun's minds.

The two dared not make any rash moves. They could already feel boundless rage emanating from the White Tiger's roar.

They feared that the next moment would bring the White Tiger's furious retribution.

"Perhaps we should go out and admit our mistake?" Hongyun said cautiously.

Zhen Yuanzi trembled and replied, "Alright. You open the door first then."

Hongyun quickly waved his hands. "I can't see where the door is. You go."

"Then never mind. I'm going to sleep." Zhen Yuanzi yawned and promptly slumped in a corner of the Thatched Hut.

Hongyun was anxious. "Stop pretending to sleep! They're back."

"Really, they're back."

"Let them come. Hongyun, go tell them we're asleep." Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand.

"Can we even sleep? Another one has arrived," Hongyun said resentfully.

Zhen Yuanzi scrambled to his feet. "What? Another one?"

Indeed, another demon had arrived outside.

This... it feels like the aura of a Qilin.

Jade Qilin!

This is the aura of a Jade Qilin!

This is terrifying! We've actually occupied the dojos of a Jade Qilin and a Sacred Beast White Tiger!

This Jade Qilin is also at the Quasi-Saint realm!

"Quick, Hongyun, let's go out and explain!"

Zhen Yuanzi's scalp tingled. He grabbed Hongyun and was about to open the door.

"Who's making noise outside? Is it Da Huang or Xiao Bai?"

"Do they want to eat meat?"

"Let's just kill one tomorrow!"

Strangely, as soon as these words were spoken, the oppressive auras of the White Tiger and the Jade Qilin vanished.

Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi looked at each other, as if it were all a dream.

Could it be that I just fell into a Great Dao illusion?

However, the cold sweat on my forehead couldn't be faked.

Hongyun asked hesitantly, "That voice just now, was it from that ordinary creature?"

Zhen Yuanzi's expression was solemn: "But he is clearly an ordinary creature, and with just a few words, he could make two Quasi-Saint great demons leave?"

Hongyun clapped his hands and said with certainty, "Do you remember what the Three Pure Ones said? They implied that a peerless expert seems to be living in seclusion here!"

Zhen Yuanzi mused, "If that's the case, it makes sense. Then, as I said before, absolutely do not expose the expert's identity yourself. Wait for my signal to act."

Hongyun nodded, a cold laugh echoing in his heart: Hmph, Zhen Yuanzi, you always call me foolish. This time, I won't pretend to be stupid anymore. You want me to be disrespectful in front of the expert, how could I not know your intentions.

"You must want to seize the opportunity to impress the expert, but I won't let you have your way. Just you wait. Tomorrow, when I see this ordinary creature, I don't care if he's an expert or not, I'll offer my respects first!"

Zhen Yuanzi watched Hongyun's eyes shift constantly, worrying in his heart.

"If I had known there was such a great opportunity, I would have come alone. This foolish Hongyun will surely cause trouble for me. I need to be extremely wary of him."

With their own thoughts occupying them, it wasn't long before two terrifying auras suddenly descended again.

The two were greatly alarmed, wondering why they had returned.

They prepared for battle, tense and vigilant for a long time.

A moment later, the pressure rapidly dissipated like a receding tide.

Just as they relaxed their minds, two terrifying pressures struck again.

The two quickly braced themselves.

This repeated itself throughout the night.

The two were mentally exhausted, their auras extremely weak.

Zhen Yuanzi was furious and said resentfully, "This is too much! It's outrageous! I don't care if it's a White Tiger or a Jade Qilin, let me go out and reason with him!"

Hongyun quickly stopped him: "Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, why get angry? When day breaks, we'll bid farewell to the host here and then deal with this matter."

Zhen Yuanzi complained with dissatisfaction: "It's all your fault! You kept saying it was the last time before. Look how many times they've come back in one night."

"If I had known they would be endless, we could have just gone out and fought them, rather than being so stifled here!"

Hongyun said leisurely, "Calm down, calm down. What's the big deal? We might not even have the upper hand if we fight outside. This way is quite good."

Zhen Yuanzi was angry at his lack of ambition and shook his head helplessly: "Fellow Daoist Hongyun, if you don't change your ways, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later!"

Hongyun chuckled and said no more.

At this moment, footsteps could be heard from outside.

Jiang Ping yawned, looking at the bright daylight outside.

He immediately felt incredibly annoyed. Didn't someone remind him not to sleep too soundly?

He had actually slept until dawn.

He wondered if the two gentlemen had left.

Huh, the pigsty... no, the door to the Thatched Hut hadn't opened yet. These two have peculiar tastes, sleeping so soundly in this environment.

I'll go wake them up.

Thinking this, Jiang Ping strode over.

Inside the Thatched Hut, Zhen Yuanzi snorted, "Little Hong, don't forget my instructions. I'll go out and take a look first."

He opened the door and saw Jiang Ping, Zhen Yuanzi's heart settled.

"Good morning, Sir. Did you not sleep well last night?" Jiang Ping greeted him while looking at Zhen Yuanzi.

Seeing his grim expression and signs of fatigue, he was secretly puzzled.

Zhen Yuanzi looked around and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear any strange noises last night, Young Master?"

Jiang Ping thought carefully and shook his head, "I didn't pay attention. There might have been a little noise, maybe from mice or something."

Zhen Yuanzi's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Young Master, please do not let your guard down. To be frank, there might be powerful demonic beasts lurking near your courtyard. You must be careful."
