Ten days had passed.
Gray Gray crouched beside the Ascension Platform, swishing its tail in utter boredom.
Ten days ago, it had still been "Lord Gray Gray," the center of everyone's attention, able to scare off hundreds of cultivators with a single glance as it crouched at the valley entrance.
And now?
Those people no longer dared come.
Its own people weren't coming out either. They had all gone off to cultivate.
Xie Changsheng had said he needed to stabilize his True Immortal Realm cultivation, then plunged into the eastern side hall and never emerged.
Song Chi had said he wanted to study his sword, and now he meditated every day.
Zhou Yan had come out a few times, but even those visits had grown less frequent.
Since Murong Li lived near Fairy Luo, she was dragged along every day to improve their cultivation together. Eventually, they simply moved in together.
Even Black Mountain and Red Wind rarely came out anymore, saying they wanted to break through to the Heavenly Demon Realm as soon as possible.
The only ones left idle were Si Chen and Gray Gray.
Si Chen truly had no need to cultivate.
Every day, he either sat outside the Main Hall drinking tea or slept in his chair.
As for Gray Gray, its way of cultivating was to follow Master Si Chen around.
Besides, it was now the "first-generation reception envoy." It had a proper job.
Although... that job had yet to see any business.
Gray Gray sighed, rested its chin on its hooves, and stared blankly at the Ascension Platform.
After watching for a while, it suddenly remembered something and trotted over to the Main Hall's entrance.
Si Chen was lying in his chair with his eyes closed. There was no telling whether he was asleep.
