Xiao Yu shook his head and said unconcernedly, "What of it? Female cultivators are already at a disadvantage in the cultivation world. Those who use their own advantages to obtain cultivation resources are everywhere, and there's nothing wrong with that. To put it plainly, strength is all that really matters.

"You see things clearly, fellow Daoist. I admire you for that." Hearing the sincerity in Xiao Yu's words, Yuan Yao felt much better, and her gratitude toward him deepened.
After looking Xiao Yu over with her beautiful eyes, she said admiringly:
"I really don't know how you cultivate, fellow Daoist. We haven't seen each other for only a few years, yet you feel so much stronger than before. Although we're both Core Formation Cultivators, compared with you, I might as well be on an entirely different level."
"You flatter me, Miss Yuan. I've only been muddling along with my cultivation." Xiao Yu rubbed his nose, then pointed at the Soul-Screaming Beast and said with considerable curiosity:
"By the way, that spirit beast of yours looks quite extraordinary. I've never seen it before, nor have I ever heard what sort of spirit beast this little monkey might be."
"It's called a Soul-Screaming Beast!" Yuan Yao named the spirit beast, then, seeing Xiao Yu's interested expression, went on to explain in detail:
"The Soul-Screaming Beast isn't a naturally born spirit beast. It's a peculiar creature somewhere between a spirit beast and a demonic soul, created by a secretive sect of the Demonic Path through an extremely cruel and bloody refinement process.
"It's the bane of ghosts and souls without physical bodies. It has an innate ability to suck in souls and devour ghosts, and it can deal with demonic ghosts
