Luo Yan had intended to check on Zhu Zhuqing, only to discover that she had fallen asleep in his arms at some point.
Furthermore, Zhu Zhuqing's arms were wrapped around his neck, her small face pressed against his chest.
It seems she really was exhausted...
Luo Yan shook his head.
He then carried Zhu Zhuqing into the small cabin, intending to lay her down on the bed.
The moment Luo Yan stepped into the cabin, Xiao Wu, who had been sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating, opened her eyes and said with pleasant surprise, "Brother Luo Yan, why are you back so early today!"
As soon as she cast her gaze toward Luo Yan, she saw the young girl in his arms, and her voice came to an abrupt halt.
Zhu Zhuqing's beauty was not inferior to her own, and her assets were even more bountiful; seeing this, Xiao Wu's face turned pale.
[Xiao Wu sees you holding another very beautiful girl, her heart is filled with jealousy, Favorability -5!]
Hearing the system notification in his mind, Luo Yan felt a bit awkward.
He had just remembered that this little rabbit was also very prone to jealousy.
Luo Yan walked to the bedside, placed Zhu Zhuqing on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.
After finishing, he took Xiao Wu to the roof and began to explain to her: "Xiao Wu, listen to me, her name is Zhu Zhuqing..."
Luo Yan recounted Zhu Zhuqing's identity and the circumstances she had faced.
Once he finished, he looked at Xiao Wu affectionately and said slowly:
"Xiao Wu, rest assured, no matter what kind of people I meet in the future, you will always be the most important one in my heart!"
Xiao Wu, who had been immersed in the tragic story of Zhu Zhuqing, suddenly turned cold.
"I just thought she was as pitiful as you, Xiao Wu..."
Luo Yan noticed the change in Xiao Wu's expression and pulled her into an embrace.
Feeling the warmth from behind, Xiao Wu's expression softened quite a bit.
Luo Yan did not know that, in truth, Xiao Wu did not particularly mind him finding other women; she simply couldn't accept her belongings being shared with others for the time being.
As a soul beast, she did not possess the concept of monogamy.
"Xiao Wu, you will always be the most special one in my heart..."
"Hmph, I don't believe you!"
"Didn't you say you couldn't finish eating my big radish? I'm just finding you a companion!"
"Bastard, how can you say such things!"
"..."
Luo Yan coaxed her until dawn before Xiao Wu's anger finally subsided.
"Boss, a week has passed, when are we heading to the human world?" Er Ming was already getting impatient.
A day and a half had passed since Luo Yan brought Zhu Zhuqing back to the cabin, and the agreed-upon time between Luo Yan, Da Ming, and Er Ming had arrived.
During this day and a half, Zhu Zhuqing had not woken up and had been sleeping soundly inside the cabin.
Therefore, the two beasts did not know that Luo Yan had brought someone back.
Da Ming also looked over.
"Hmph!"
Only Xiao Wu knew that Luo Yan would definitely wait for Zhu Zhuqing to wake up before setting off; she sat beside Luo Yan, sulking.
"We might have to wait another day or two."
Thinking of how Zhu Zhuqing was still asleep, Luo Yan wasn't sure how long she would remain that way.
Just as he finished speaking, the door to the cabin opened, and Zhu Zhuqing walked out.
"A human?!"
Da Ming and Er Ming sensed Zhu Zhuqing's aura immediately, instantly releasing their own pressure as they turned to look at her.
"Stop!" Luo Yan reacted instantly.
He rushed to Zhu Zhuqing's side to help her block the pressure from Da Ming and Er Ming.
If she were hit by the momentum of Da Ming and Er Ming, given her current state and cultivation level, Zhu Zhuqing would never be able to withstand it.
It was possible her old injuries would flare up.
Thinking of this, Luo Yan placed his palm against Zhu Zhuqing's back, channeling spiritual energy to help stabilize her aura.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, retract your auras immediately!"
Seeing Luo Yan show such concern, Xiao Wu felt a hint of jealousy, but she still ordered Da Ming and Er Ming to withdraw their pressure.
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a glance.
In the end, they obeyed Xiao Wu's instruction and retracted their pressure.
Zhu Zhuqing also noticed Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming across from them at this moment, and hiding behind Luo Yan, she asked cautiously, "Luo Yan, who are they?"
In that brief moment just now, she had also sensed the aura of Da Ming and Er Ming.
It was at least comparable to the Star Luo Emperor she had once seen, which made her feel somewhat nervous.
However, what Zhu Zhuqing cared about more was Xiao Wu, because Xiao Wu's beauty was not inferior to her own, and paired with a pink dress, she looked extremely adorable.
Even she felt a bit moved by it.
Furthermore, Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat puzzled as to what place this was, as the surroundings were all forest, with no signs of human habitation at all.
Luo Yan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and noticed that although she could stand up on her own now, her complexion was still slightly pale.
It was obvious that her injuries had not yet fully healed.
"Those two are my little brothers; you can call them Da Ming and Er Ming." Luo Yan pointed toward Da Ming and Er Ming while helping her walk toward Xiao Wu.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly.
However, her gaze remained fixed on Xiao Wu.
For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing always felt that the young girl opposite her was looking at her with a hint of hostility.
She was also very curious about exactly who Xiao Wu was to Luo Yan.
The two soon walked over to Xiao Wu and sat down; Luo Yan sat beside Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing sat on the other side of Luo Yan.
Luo Yan pointed at Xiao Wu and continued, "You can call her Xiao Wu, she is my..."
Just as he was about to finish his sentence, Luo Yan noticed Xiao Wu's right hand resting on his waist, as if she would pinch him hard if he said the wrong thing.
"She is my woman..."
Hearing Luo Yan's words, Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned even colder.
Sigh!
Seeing this, Luo Yan knew that Zhu Zhuqing was angry; after all, he already had a woman, yet he had been flirting with her earlier.
This was basically no different from Dai Mubai.
But Xiao Wu was sitting right beside him, and he had spent all of last night coaxing her, only managing to appease her after establishing a rule.
That rule was that no matter how many others Luo Yan found in the future, he had to state his relationship with Xiao Wu to them immediately.
Otherwise, Xiao Wu would never agree to it.
However, Luo Yan was not too worried; he knew what Zhu Zhuqing needed, and he believed that one day he would be able to make Zhu Zhuqing accept Xiao Wu's existence.
"Right, Da Ming, Er Ming, let me introduce you—this is my good friend, Zhu Zhuqing!"
After introducing them to Zhu Zhuqing, Luo Yan did not forget to introduce Zhu Zhuqing to Da Ming and Er Ming.
Hearing Luo Yan's words, Da Ming nodded slightly in acknowledgment but said nothing.
But Er Ming clearly couldn't hide his thoughts and asked directly, "Big Brother, she is a human; how can you be good friends with her?"
"We are no longer spirit beasts now, so why can't we be good friends with humans?"
Looking at the anxious-looking Er Ming, Luo Yan retorted with a question.
He had told Da Ming and Er Ming before that ever since they became demon beasts, humans would no longer be able to obtain spirit rings or spirit bones even if they killed them.
