Lu Ya's eye twitched, a thicket of black lines forming on his forehead.

This was exactly why he hated bratty kids.

They never played by the rules.

Judging by the exaggerated way the two girls were wolfing down the meat, as if a dream had finally come true, they had been eyeing this Azure Phoenix for quite some time.

Not even sparing their own pet—even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs!

Wait, tiger...

Lu Ya sensed something amiss and took a closer look.

A fierce "king" character was branded on their foreheads, and hidden beneath their hair buns were fuzzy, rounded ears. Their two muscular, golden-yellow bodies were over a zhang long, complete with sharp fangs and claws, devouring the meat with the ferocity of a gluttonous beast.

The fear of tigers is innate and hard to shake. Lu Ya steadied his nerves, confirming he was in a game-like otherworld and that he possessed max-level cultivation across all classes, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking on calmly, the two girls were—

Tiger Immortals who had cultivated for six or seven hundred years.

According to the game mechanics of Ancient Immortal Court, ferocious beasts absorbed spiritual energy even faster than immortals. With thick hides and high experience yields, they were the ideal choice for leveling up.

However, for a ferocious beast to gain sentience and take on human form to become a Beast Immortal, it was impossible regardless of level unless enlightened by a master.

The logic was simple.

Killing monsters for experience was natural.

Killing humans for experience meant your game account was gone.

In the game.

Once a player reached the level 11 Immortal Monarch rank, they could tame ferocious beasts as pets or mounts.

Once a player reached the level 31 Immortal Sect rank, they could enlighten ferocious beasts to gain sentience and take human form.

They were then called Beast Immortals.

At this point, the beasts finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. From being hacked to death, to being ridden, and finally... being ridden—though the process was a bit twisted, they had at last gained sentience and human form, transforming from monsters everyone wanted to kill into NPCs everyone loved.

Statistics showed that ninety percent of Beast Immortals enlightened by players were of the opposite sex.

Without a Fox Immortal wife or a Werewolf husband, one would be too embarrassed to even greet others when out and about.

Of course, Lu Ya had only been obsessed with leveling up in the game and had never enjoyed the pleasures of a Beast Immortal.

In this world, there were no players; Beast Immortals were just Beast Immortals with no other purpose.

Lu Ya swept his gaze over them.

At six or seven hundred years old, the two girls were indeed just lolis among immortal beasts, possessing entry-level Immortal Monarch cultivation with mediocre talent.

Judging by their green robes, they seemed to be the attire of some immortal sect.

What kind of immortal sect would take in mediocre Tiger Immortals as disciples?

Enlightening them must have cost a great deal of effort and resources, right?

Lu Ya was somewhat puzzled.

However, since they had taken human form, they should be treated as humans.

The Azure Phoenix was their pet, and they had the right to eat it first.

Being invincible didn't mean he could do whatever he wanted; Lu Ya wouldn't abandon the basic principles of being human. He could only wait for the two girls to finish their fill before having his own meal.

Since he had nothing better to do, he asked casually.

"What are your names?"

The two girls were buried in their phoenix meat, mouths dripping with grease, too focused to seem to hear Lu Ya.

When they paused for a break, they mumbled:

"I'm Muyu."

"I'm Feifei... no, I'm Muyu, you're Feifei."

"Oh, I'm Feifei."

"..."

Lu Ya felt that these two Tiger Immortals might have only recently gained sentience and didn't seem very bright.

"Where do you live?"

"Little Bamboo Spring Mountain."

"It's Bamboo Spring Sect!"

"Where is the Bamboo Spring Sect?"

"The Bamboo Spring Sect is at..."

"Let me think."

The two girls suddenly looked confused.

So, he ate while he thought.

The more he thought, the more confused he became, and the more confused he became, the more fiercely he ate.

In the blink of an eye, he had swept through the feast like a gale, devouring hundreds of pounds of roasted Luan until not even the bones remained!

Only then did he pat his two round, tiger-striped bellies and mutter:

"Where is the Bamboo Spring Sect..."

"Right, I can't say."

"We definitely know, but since you aren't a disciple of the sect yet, we can't tell you."

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Useless at answering questions, but number one at eating!

Lu Ya felt like he had asked for nothing.

Just at that moment, his stomach let out another growl.

Lu Ya had no choice but to put on a fierce act.

"Take me to your immortal sect to find some food, or else I'm going to eat children."

"Children?"

The two little girls looked at Lu Ya eerily, their milky, childish voices suddenly turning cold.

"Are you sure you want to eat children?"

At this moment, a gale of wind swept in, scattering the clouds and mist, making the pine needles rustle.

The atmosphere turned suddenly chilling.

Although he wasn't afraid in his heart, Lu Ya still felt a chill run down his spine.

He looked at the two little girls again.

They had already revealed their massive, ten-foot-long tiger forms, standing up one after another, towering even taller than Lu Ya.

Their long, sharp fangs looked as if they could bite a man's head off in one snap, their limbs were thick as pillars, their claws protruded from their toes, and their tails, marked with ominous black rings, swayed like slightly curved steel whips.

Their movements were streamlined, their muscles solid and toned, filled with an infinite sense of power, as if they could tear Lu Ya to shreds in an instant!

They paced around Lu Ya with lazy, silent steps.

"Xiaoyu, this person said he wants to eat children, I'm so scared."

"Feifei, who do you think is the child here? Awoo..."

Lu Ya stood up helplessly, his stomach growling even louder.

He couldn't help but think of a popular snack called "Tiger Meat" from when he lived in the countryside as a child, and his mouth began to water.

Looking at the two plump tiger immortals, if he hadn't seen their loli forms earlier, he would already be starting a fire by now.

The two tiger immortals didn't know Lu Ya's strength and at first glance assumed he was an ordinary immortal commoner.

After all, Lu Ya's max-level constitution had long since returned to simplicity, and combined with his retained mortal senses, he looked no different from an immortal commoner.

However, tiger immortals were immortal beasts after all and wouldn't eat humans lightly.

Having had their fun scaring Lu Ya, the two tiger immortals stopped to discuss.

"As an immortal commoner, to have held on this long without wetting his pants, he's quite the master of bladder control."

"Our sect happens to be short on men; why not take him back to the sect to be a flute-playing boy? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Lu Ya's forehead was covered in black lines. He raised his hands and threw two punches, bang, bang, knocking the two tigers straight back into their human forms.

The action was so simple and brutal that the two tiger immortals didn't even react in time. They stared straight at Lu Ya with angry eyes, let out two howls into the void, and the mountain forest shook!

Lu Ya raised his fist again.

The howling stopped instantly...

In the blink of an eye, it turned into whimpering.

Their wide, savage, angry eyes turned into teary, wide eyes, filled with shock, confusion, and defiance.

"You, you, you—"

"How can you hit children?"

"Wuwuwu..."

"I'm going back to tell the Sect Master!"

The two little girls sobbed, but suddenly, their tears dried up, and they asked with puzzled faces:

"Speaking of the Sect Master... Xiaoyu, what was the Sect Master throwing the Xiuchiu for?"

"Dummy, throwing the Xiuchiu is obviously to choose an immortal consort!"

As the words left their lips, the two little girls' tiger-like minds sharpened, and they turned in unison toward Lu Ya.

Their four slanted eyes narrowed slightly, staring at him for a long time before they said with profound meaning:

"Quite good-looking, actually."

"Only twenty-one years old..."

"But a bit strong, too."

"Is he really a mortal?"

Throwing an Azure Phoenix to choose an immortal partner?

Lu Ya didn't know where to start with his complaints.

Yet, looking at the expressions of the two girls, they didn't seem to be lying.

Throwing an Azure Phoenix like a Xiuchiu—what kind of person was this?

The two girls muttered for a long time, until one suddenly gave two dry coughs and, imitating their Sect Master's tone, said to Lu Ya:

"Young man, do you want to save three thousand years of hard work?"

What the hell, "young man"!

Are you serious about the three thousand years?

Lu Ya suddenly recalled some matchmaking jokes from the internet.

Three years older and you get a gold brick; thirty years older and you get a kingdom; three hundred years older and you get fed a Golden Elixir; three thousand years older and you ascend to the immortal ranks...

Had he really encountered someone three thousand years older?

For an immortal, three thousand years wasn't actually that old; it was barely acceptable.

The other party was a Sect Master, so she definitely wasn't short on money; perhaps he could even land a position as an Elder.

Lu Ya suddenly realized that a wonderful, lazy life was beckoning to him from up ahead.

"The question is, why does your Sect Master need to rely on throwing a Xiuchiu to find a man?"

"My Master had an expert calculate it. She spent a fortune to buy the Azure Phoenix Xiuchiu, saying that whoever has the ability to catch it is the Sect Master's fated immortal partner."

"This Azure Phoenix isn't even that strong, so why doesn't anyone else go catch it?"

"Sigh, the Sect Master, her health..."

"Ahem!"

The other girl suddenly grew alert.

"If you heard anything, those are just rumors. Actually, the Sect Master is just, just..."

"She's just too lonely, haha! That's right, the Sect Master just wants a man!"

Health?

Rumors?

Lu Ya vaguely caught the scent of trouble.

The first rule of a lazy life: stay away from trouble!

He would go nearby to ask around about the rumors first.

Suppressing his hunger, Lu Ya stood up to take his leave.

"My cave dwelling is on fire, so I must be off. I'll visit another day to discuss this further."

"Are you trying to run away?"

One girl suddenly turned fierce, baring her little mouth and glaring at Lu Ya with tiger-like eyes.

The other girl quickly explained:

"Our Sect Master is beautiful, generous, and a famous wealthy immortal in the Central Province. Look at this immortal robe, this spatial ring, this spirit sword—which one isn't a famous product from the Immortal Court Registry?"

"Besides, there is still a vacancy for a Sword-Wielding Elder in the sect. If you become the Sect Master's dao companion, you can become the Sword-Wielding Elder, be recorded in the Immortal Court Registry, and rank among the immortals. By then, you'll get thirty immortal crystals every month without having to do a single thing!"

Beauty?

Immortal ranks?

Immortal crystals?

Lu Ya laughed. He was already invincible; why would he care about beauties, immortal crystals, or ranking among the immortals?

"Lead the way."
