The tension on the training grounds was suffocating, as if the apocalypse had arrived; yet, the terrifying pressure of the Heavenly Dao was instantly shattered by Lu Ya's single shout of "Go for it," leaving behind an eerily relaxed atmosphere.

This left Golden Peng, standing atop the head of the Kunpeng Brothers, feeling somewhat hesitant, his frigid divine sense instantly sweeping across every blade of grass on Floating Mountain.

Not far away, a sudden wailing cry rang out.

Lu Ya looked over.

Ning Zhongzi was walking toward them, cradling a baby girl.

Ning Zhongzi paid no attention to the Kunpeng Brothers.

Having once witnessed Lu Ya roll Wine Fox Immortal onto a bed from across the room, she trusted him implicitly; furthermore, given her own strength, she knew she could not intervene in the current situation.

After providing basic treatment to Wine Fox Immortal, a sudden wave of maternal instinct had washed over her, leading her to care for the infant.

Gazing at the baby girl in her arms, she seemed to see a young Liu Xuanye, her bright, delicate face overflowing with a gentle maternal glow.

This was the first time Lu Ya had seen this side of Ning Zhongzi, and he felt her aura instantly turn warm and genial.

Curious, he leaned in to take a look.

Only then did he discover that the baby girl in Ning Zhongzi's arms was actually a half-snake!

Her upper body was human, her lower body a serpent—the very image of Nuwa.

Lu Ya couldn't help but ponder: first there were half-foxes, and now half-snakes...

This Immortal Realm was truly chaotic!

It seemed that not only in games, but in the real Immortal Realm, there were plenty of people engaging in human-beast relations; if it weren't for the fact that half-beasts were infertile, every immortal might well have had Beast Race blood.

At this moment.

Muyu Feifei saw the baby crying, and her fear was replaced by curiosity; she hurried over to make funny faces to coax the child.

She even began to sing a nursery rhyme of the same name that Lu Ya had taught them.

"Two little tigers, two little tigers, running fast, running fast, one has no ears, one has no tail, how strange, how strange... Awoo..."

The snake baby suddenly went quiet, as if she had truly seen two tiger heads.

Combined with that final, overly realistic "Awoo."

In an instant, the snake baby began to cry even harder.

Waa, waa, waa!

The wailing was heart-wrenching and earth-shattering, feeling even more intense than the commotion stirred up by the Kunpeng Brothers in the sky.

Lu Ya's eyelid twitched; he felt his scalp go numb at the spectacle of two "bear children" playing at being real tigers.

Ning Zhongzi, protective of her charge, flicked her wrist, and two sharp raps landed on the top of Muyu Feifei's head.

"Why are you blaming us?"

Muyu Feifei was furious, baring her teeth and arguing her case.

"The snake baby is hungry, she wants milk!"

"I'm only six hundred years old, I don't have milk."

"I don't have any either!"

With that, they both looked at Ning Zhongzi.

"..."

Ning Zhongzi's willow-leaf brows twitched, and two more raps landed on their heads, sending Muyu Feifei scurrying away in a panic.

One had to know, when she raised Liu Xuanye, she had specifically hired a wet nurse and used her own refined postnatal pills.

She had never used her own body; as an immortal maiden without a dao companion, where would she get milk?

Ning Zhongzi took a few pure pills from her spatial ring, but when she brought them to the infant's lips, she hesitated and gave up.

Lu Ya's gaze shifted downward by a foot or so, thinking to himself that it was all for show and of no use.

Ning Zhongzi's ears turned beet red; she lowered her head to look at the baby, no longer daring to meet Lu Ya's eyes.

Even though Lu Ya was merely curious and his gaze was pure, devoid of any ulterior motives...

She herself could not manage to be so detached.

At this time, among the Beast Immortals not far away, a black sheep woman with a sallow complexion and a withered figure heard the baby's cries, gathered her courage, stood up, and walked over trembling.

"I do not know if a snake infant can drink sheep's milk, but if she can, this junior has some..."

"She can drink it."

Ning Zhongzi finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly handed the infant to her.

The black sheep woman turned her back to the crowd, unbuttoned her robe, and while coaxing the child softly, let the crying snake baby latch on; only then did the infant quiet down.

After this small interlude, the atmosphere on the battlefield grew even heavier.

Gale winds howled across the training grounds, and the spiritual pressure of the Immortal Sect vibrating in the air made it hard for anyone to breathe.

The gathered Beast Immortals were utterly bewildered.

These are two nine-star immortal sects; Sect Master Liu and the Wine Fox Immortal combined don't even reach nine stars. They cannot escape the fate of their sect being destroyed, so why do you still have the heart to look after a baby?

Meanwhile.

Standing atop the head of the Void Kun, Golden Peng withdrew his divine sense. After confirming there were no experts or anything amiss, his terrifying spiritual pressure surged once more, and his vast, echoing voice coldly barked:

"Disaster is imminent, yet you still play tricks. I shall send you to the Pure Land right now."

"My Pure Land cannot be without Kun meat..."

Looking up at the giant Kun's massive head, Lu Ya couldn't help but recall a legendary delicacy, eager to show off his culinary skills.

At this moment, he noticed something off about the Wine Fox Immortal.

Having finished the pot, the Wine Fox Immortal's eyes were slightly tipsy, glowing with heat.

Her pale, pretty face turned rosy in an instant, contrasting with the blood-stained half of her body. Her weak, trembling gait transformed into a drunken sway in the blink of an eye.

Her dark yellow coarse cloth robe, half torn into rags and half soaked in blood, showed no signs of flagging; instead, it fluttered in the wind like a battle cloak.

Looking up at the Kunpeng Brothers, she inexplicably thought of many things...

She pulled a thin hemp thread from the hem of her coarse robe and took a blood-stained bamboo slip from her bosom.

She bored a small hole in the bamboo slip, threaded it with the hemp string, and hung it between the snowy cleavage of her chest.

She tossed the empty wine gourd into the air.

The wine gourd grew in the wind, quickly becoming the size of a mount, carrying her as she stepped into the air and soared toward the sky.

She must fight!

She had to fight!

Lu Ya looked up.

He saw the Wine Fox Immortal's petite figure riding the wine gourd toward the giant Kun in the sky, like an ant charging at a god.

Black clouds rolled.

The giant Kun looked down with disdain.

Time stood still, like an oil painting.

Lu Ya felt a sense of admiration for this woman.

Even if she were in her peak, uninjured state, it would be difficult to bridge the gap between a three-star immortal sect and a nine-star immortal sect, let alone now, when she was suffering from three grievous wounds...

She must have her own reasons for needing to fight, right?

Lu Ya thought to himself.

Very well, he would take this opportunity to see the trump cards of this work... this woman. Regardless, with him here, no one would die, and any injury could be healed in an instant. This kind of battle was just child's play to him, and for the Wine Fox Immortal, it was merely necessary tempering.

Besides that.

He vaguely sensed that this vixen still had quite a few trump cards, especially the thing curled up within her Immortal Platform...

This woman might be even more complex than he had imagined!

Above the clouds on the Kun.

Seeing the Wine Fox Immortal flying over on her gourd, Golden Peng sneered.

"Overestimating your capabilities."

His feet lifted off the surface as his body slowly floated upward. A black robe covered him, fluttering in the air, making him look like a black phantom without limbs.

"I will play with her. You go and kill Liu Xuanye to console our late brother Yunzhongzi."

With a shrill cry in the air, the Void Kun slowly pulled its massive body out of the black clouds.

Looking at the black boat perched on the bamboo platform atop Little Bamboo Spring Mountain several miles away, a figure of an old friend appeared in the eyes of the Void Kun.

It immediately sped through the air, charging angrily toward Little Bamboo Spring Mountain.

It kicked up a terrifying gale, sweeping some low-level Beast Immortal into the sky.

Lu Ya's green robe snapped in the wind.

He followed the Kun with his gaze.

This massive size, this violent speed...

It was truly shocking.

But he did not move; he trusted Liu Xuanye.

A one-star immortal sect against a nine-star immortal sect's ferocious beast.

However, Liu Xuanye did not appear.

Only three thousand swords of rain fell from the sky.

Stabbing toward the massive Void Kun.

On the martial arts field.

The Beast Immortal crowd had suffered such inhuman torture in the past that their psychological trauma ran too deep.

So much so that they remained prostrate on the ground at this moment, not daring to look up at the sky.

Lu Ya thought for a moment, then paced in front of the group and feigned a stern tone:

"Lord Wine Fox is fighting with her life on the line to protect you, and this is how you face her, with your heads bowed?"

The crowd was deathly silent.

After a long while, a frail rabbit-immortal girl timidly raised her head.

"I... I'm sorry."

Gradually, more Beast Immortal emboldened themselves to look up.

A cat-immortal's ears pricked up; terrified, she forced herself to look toward the sky.

A sturdy ox-immortal sat upright.

A pigeon-immortal cooed...

Soon, the three master-level Beast Immortal also straightened their bodies one after another.

The trio performed an immortal's bow toward Lu Ya, then looked up at the sky in unison.

Finally, the pale-faced little weasel-immortal also raised his head.

He knelt in the corner furthest from Lu Ya, ignoring the intense battle in the air, his pair of scarlet eyes trembling as he stared at Lu Ya.

The other Beast Immortal were afraid of the Kunpeng Brothers, but only he was afraid of Lu Ya.

In Lu Ya's eyes, he seemed to see a carnal desire even more ravenous than before.

Lu Ya gave two dry coughs and said to the crowd:

"In the future, you must all fight as hard as the Sect Master and Lord Wine Fox, otherwise you will be eaten, understand?"

"..."

The crowd looked blank, save for the little weasel-immortal, who was trembling so violently he nearly couldn't hold back from burrowing into the dirt to flee.

After organizing the spectator team, Lu Ya found an open space to sit down and quietly watched the two grand spectacles.

Gazing at the Kunpeng head that blotted out the sky and sun, he suddenly recalled the name of that legendary dish...

Star-Gazing Pie.
