Preparing to Write the Third Diary Entry

While the Two Sages of the West plotted against Duobao and Tongtian searched the primordial spirits of the Jie Sect Disciples.

Elsewhere.

In the courtyard where Lin Tian lived.

Yazi felt nothing but aches all over his body.

His primordial spirit felt as though countless streaks of Sword Qi had pierced it.

The intense pain jolted him awake from his unconsciousness.

He blearily opened his eyes.

Everything around him was blurry.

Only when his primordial spirit gradually cleared did he see the scene before him.

I remember that I got into trouble before, and my primordial spirit reverted to a fish and fell into the sea.

Then I somehow ended up here.

After that, the owner of this place nearly ate me.

Luckily, the spiritual Qi here was abundant, allowing me to recover some of my primordial spirit's strength.

I meant to escape, but before I even left the courtyard, a powerful force knocked me back.

I don't remember anything after that. That force must have knocked me unconscious.

Yazi sorted through everything he had experienced that day.

Just as he was about to use the power of his primordial spirit to check whether his surroundings were safe.

A burst of intense pain suddenly came from the depths of his primordial spirit.

The piercing pain made him abandon the idea of using his primordial spirit at once.

His whole body went somewhat limp.

What's going on?

The injury to my primordial spirit seems to have gotten worse.

Although I have a wisp of true spirit left, enough to maintain my current body and keep me from reverting to a fish.

I can't use the power of my primordial spirit.

This is going to be difficult.

As Yazi thought this, he could not help feeling anxious.

As he saw it, this place was not very safe.

In his current state, he would be utterly unable to resist if anything happened!

What was more, the owner of this courtyard was an extremely mysterious recluse whose strength was unfathomable.

He might boil and eat Yazi at any moment.

When that happened, Yazi would not even know how he had died.

So he absolutely could not stay here any longer.

But.

Just as Yazi was thinking this.

Creak.

A rustle of footsteps.

Slowly approached from afar.

Yazi froze and looked toward the source of the sound in surprise.

He saw a handsome young man.

Holding a small golden bowl in both hands.

Walking over from the doorway of the wooden house.

Before long, the young man arrived in front of him.

At the sight.

And sensing the strange presence around the young man.

Yazi's heart began to race, and a feeling of panic spread through him.

What is he going to do?

He can't still be planning to catch me and eat me, can he?

No, I've only just come back to life...

Just as Yazi felt like crying but had no tears.

The next moment.

The handsome young man's actions left him utterly baffled.

Huh??? What is he trying to do?

He saw.

Lin Tian walk over and set the golden bowl in front of him.

Then he pushed it forward and said.

"Oh? You're awake?"

"Be more careful next time. Don't cause any more trouble. If you dare do it again, I won't let you off."

Under Yazi's peculiar gaze.

Lin Tian pushed the golden bowl forward a little and gestured.

"It's getting late, and I have something important to do tomorrow, so I've prepared your food for tomorrow in advance."

"It's nothing special, though, so you'll have to make do with it."

"When I have time later, I'll get you something else to try."

Hearing Lin Tian's words.

Yazi: "???"

"..."

Hey!

Are you planning to keep me as a pet?

Do I need a bowl to eat!?

I...

Yazi stared at the golden bowl placed before him.

Then looked up at Lin Tian.

When he saw the charitable expression on Lin Tian's face.

A sense of humiliation surged up in Yazi's heart.

He thinks he can fob me off with a little food.

Does he really take me for a pet?

I am a direct-line prince of the Dragon Clan!

Yazi!

How could I endure such humiliation?

You have no regard for my Dragon Clan!

I would rather starve to death than pick up another's leavings!

But.

Just as Yazi was thinking this in anger.

Suddenly.

An enticing fragrance.

Slowly wafted out of the golden bowl before him.

The refreshing scent drifted into Yazi's nose.

Huh??

What is that? It smells so good!

Upon smelling the fragrance.

Yazi froze.

He instinctively looked ahead.

And saw a clear green broth in the golden bowl before him.

It looked utterly plain, but smelled incredibly enticing.

There was even a stream of pure spiritual Qi drifting from it.

It made Yazi, who was already somewhat weak, feel his stomach rumbling.

For a moment.

Yazi completely forgot what he had just been thinking.

He instinctively leaned forward.

And took a gentle sniff above the golden bowl.

Instantly.

Yazi felt a stream of supremely pure spiritual Qi flow into his primordial spirit.

His primordial spirit immediately became much more solid.

Even his feeling of weakness diminished.

Yazi was startled.

Th-this spiritual Qi is so rich.

Food with spiritual Qi this potent is no ordinary food!

Hmm... My primordial spirit is still very weak. Why not take this chance to nourish it?

No one knows what I was thinking just now anyway.

Compared to recovering my strength, what is face worth?

Thinking this.

Yazi completely forgot his earlier lofty principles.

Without a second thought, he pounced straight at the golden bowl.

In a few mouthfuls, he polished off every last bit of food in it.

Not only that.

Afraid of wasting any, he licked the golden bowl inside and out.

"..."

Seeing that Yazi still looked as though he wanted more.

Lin Tian was rendered speechless.

Lin Tian had made this dog food by adding weeds from the garden to bottled water and boiling them into a porridge.

He had intended it as food for Erha.

He had thought Erha would have to make do with it.

Unexpectedly, Erha had wolfed down the weed soup.

He really was too hungry to be picky.

Seeing that Yazi still looked greedy after finishing.

Lin Tian said helplessly.

"Bite off more than you can chew, and you won't be able to chew it. Besides, you've already eaten a fish."

"I'll give you more another time."

"Now that you've had your fill, keep a good watch on the door for me."

He still had to go back and cultivate for a while, then prepare to write a new diary entry tomorrow.

How would he have time to pay Yazi any more attention?

With that thought, Lin Tian stroked the dragon horns on Yazi's head.

He gave him a few brief instructions, not bothering to care whether Erha understood him or not.

Then he got up and walked into the wooden house.

"Hey, hey!"

"Don't go!"

"Get me another bowl!"

Watching Lin Tian's retreating figure.

Yazi felt somewhat disappointed.

He instinctively tried to chase after Lin Tian.

But.

He had just taken one step forward.

When he immediately felt something tighten around his neck.

It pulled him straight back.

Yazi froze.

He lowered his head with a peculiar look.

And saw a rope tied around his neck.

The other end of the rope was fastened to the wooden door.

Yazi's heart sank to rock bottom.

Anger spread through his heart!

This human! He really is keeping me as a pet!

Damn it!

No wonder he told me to guard the door!

I'm a dignified descendant of the Dragon Clan, yet I've been reduced to guarding someone else's door?

That was what Yazi thought.

He instinctively wanted to run.

But before his four little legs had taken a single step,

he drew them back again.

His gaze fell on the golden bowl before him.

A look of indignation flashed across his face.

"I'll... I'll guard it for him just for tonight, I suppose."

"Once he's made something delicious tomorrow, there'll still be time to leave!"
