I've Got You!

As these lackeys retreated cautiously from Purple Jade Mountain, seemingly obsequious and as if granted a pardon, Wu Chu and Little Moon Spirit both breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the henchmen leave, Yibao voiced her doubts, asking why he had gone to all that trouble. What if he accidentally got himself caught in the trap while trying to show off?

The two silkworms on Little Moon Spirit's brows twitched slightly as she looked at her. "Yibao, do you want to give Fu Zhu to them? They're so bad. Fu Zhu is here because of their pursuit. Do you want to give it to these Yibao guys?"

Faced with Little Moon Spirit's righteous and stern yet adorably adorable questioning, Yibao couldn't help but roll her eyes. She thought that although this little imp was a Celestial Immortal fairy, her knowledge was really questionable. Was it enough for a Celestial Immortal fairy to just be cute?

She looked at Wu Chu with a hint of disappointment, as if to say: Look at this, this is the kind of person you like, good for nothing except being cute!

Wu Chu completely ignored Yibao's gaze. Even if he had understood what she meant, he still wouldn't have agreed with Yibao point of view.

Who said Little Moon Spirit is useless?

Without Little Moon Spirit, he wouldn't be able to do many things, such as clothes and shoes, building houses on treetops, eating Wild Mountain Ginseng that has lasted for ten thousand years, and Lingzhi that have lasted for a thousand years.

Without these things, how could he cultivate himself like this? Although this method of cultivation is very rudimentary, primitive, and foolish.

If it weren't for Little Moon Spirit, he would probably have been carried off by those wild beasts by now!

Little Moon Spirit is just a little fairy who has only recently Transformation Form. She hasn't seen much of the world and acts only according to her heart. It's already quite remarkable that she has such a kind heart.

If Little Moon Spirit hadn't had this kind heart, perhaps he would have been eaten by this little demon when he first came to this world!

Wu Chu pursed his lips and sighed softly, "What can I do? If I don't say this, am I really going to hand over that little guy? In this Primordial World, when have I, as a dignified senior, ever been so easy to talk to? They've already been very impolite to trespass here. If I give in further, wouldn't that be the same as telling them that I'm afraid of their king?"

"..."

Yibao opened her mouth, unsure how to refute.

Wu Chu continued, "What if they think I'm easy to bully and then push their luck, making even more outrageous demands? What should I do then? I can't win a fight! But if I act tough, they won't know my strength and will be hesitant to act rashly, so they won't turn against me on the spot. As for the King of Tianmu Mountain is farther from our Purple Jade Mountain than Qingqiu is from here, so he probably won't be here anytime soon. And before he figures out my background, I doubt the Tianmu King will easily take action against me."

Upon hearing this, Little Moon Spirit, who knew that Wu Chu had a 'Ordinary Illness', nodded in agreement, finding it very reasonable. However, Yibao did not share this view.

Yibao pouted, "You're overthinking it. Given how cowardly they were just now, how could they possibly dare to push their luck? Besides, what if that Tianmu King is some unpredictable old monster!"

Yibao finally found a reason to refute, "What if that guy shows up and slaps you down with a single palm strike? Or what if that old monster is cunning and sneaks up on you from behind with a brick? What will you do then?"

Before Wu Chu could retort, Yibao, caught up in the moment, continued, "People show off because they have real skills to back them up; they have the confidence to show off. But what about you? What do you have?"

"Don't I have you?"

"..."

Wu Chu's confident assertion stunned Yibao. She then crossed her arms, tilted her head, and scoffed, "Even if you praise me like that, I won't take back my opinion. You insist on showing off when it's something that could be easily resolved. Be careful you don't mess it up!"

Wu Chu's lips twitched slightly as he chuckled, "Since you're Phone Sprite, you should be able to calculate what the chances would have been if I hadn't done it that way back then? What the chances would have been that I'd attracted the covetous eyes of the Heavenly Eye Demon? Do you really think I'd risk my life to show off? Do you think I'm that stupid?"

I think so!

Yibao was very uncooperative.

"I think A Chu is right!"

So now we know why Wu Chu prefers Little Moon Spirit.

They're both doing it for his own good, so why can't they be as gentle as Little Moon Spirit?

Wu Chu shook his head silently and turned to walk towards the Main Hall.

Yibao, on the other hand, stood with her hands on her hips and glared at Little Moon Spirit, feeling that Little Moon Spirit was like a mistress with a honeyed belly, the biggest factor in disrupting the stability of the family.

Little Moon Spirit, completely unaware of Yibao's strange thoughts, stuck out her little tongue at her, slurping...

Enraged, Yibao followed Wu Chu, intending to pull his hair.

Although Yibao also felt that she might now have become a top-tier Merit Spiritual Treasure, or even a Merit Supreme Treasure, with considerable power—think of the Merit Supreme Treasure Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Pagoda, a supreme merit treasure from the creation of the world! So, even if her defense couldn't compare to the Exquisite Pagoda, which possessed the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Qi, it should be able to withstand Golden Immortal, right?

Of course, that's what I think, but who knows what the outcome will be!

Even Yibao herself wasn't sure, let alone Wu Chu.

After all, talking about computing power is more accurate than talking about defense on a mobile phone. Wu Chu believed that Yibao's functions lay in other areas rather than defense.

So he didn't dare to use Yibao to try it out. What if he broke his beloved phone? He didn't know how to fix phones.

Inside the Main Hall, the Little Deer Cub cautiously backed away when it saw them approaching.

Wu Chu glanced at it and said, "Don't worry! Since I brought you here, I won't do anything to hurt you. There's no need to go through all that trouble."

The Little Deer Cub, as if sensing human understanding, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at him.

Wu Chu then said, "Don't be too happy yet. You heard what I said before. That old Daoist Tianmu who wanted to capture you as a gift will probably come to capture you himself. And I... might not be able to protect you right now. Do you have anything to say?"

The Little Deer Cub stared at Wu Chu and the others with its innocent, big eyes. Its clear eyes clearly revealed its frustration and bitterness, and it looked like it was about to cry.

Upon seeing this, Wu Chu couldn't help but laugh and said, "The good news is that the Qilin Clan is the king of the land, ruling over Beast Clan. You are also Beast Clan, so if you are fortunate enough to go to the Qilin Clan, it should be helpful to your cultivation. Actually, you don't need to refuse the old Daoist Tianmu's 'invitation,' although this way of inviting you is a bit crude."

Huh?!

Little Moon Spirit and the Little Deer Cub blinked their big eyes at Wu Chu. "Brother A Chu, are you going to send it away too? I think it's great! Why don't we think of a way to keep it?"

Little Moon Spirit seemed to have a good impression of the Little Deer Cub. It was unclear whether it was because the Little Deer Cub was a natural-born water-controlling mage, and the shared power made her feel close to him.

"Then let's see if this old Daoist priest of the Heavenly Eyes is a reasonable person!"

Wu Chu shook his head, thinking that this old Daoist priest with the Heavenly Eye was probably not a reasonable person. After all, as a superior being, and especially one in this Primordial World, most people would likely be inclined to follow the crowd and perish against it. If reasoning were effective, what would be the use of fists?

As the leader of the eighteen demons, the old Daoist Tianmu was quite pleased with himself and acted like a king.

This demon king is probably a powerful demon at the Golden Immortal level.

Wu Chu felt that he might be having a run of bad luck. Even though he had been obediently farming in the mountains, some unruly things kept coming to his door.

"Little Moon Spirit, let's cook! Of all the things in the world, eating is the most important!"

"Okay!"
