Xu Sheng sighed, those dark eyes glanced at the Silver Moon Wolf King and the Flame Serpent that were slowly crawling toward him, constantly rubbing against his trouser leg with their tiny heads…
These two fellows had actually become so small, probably because their cultivation level had not yet reached the Hollow Void Stage. Even their original strength placed in this cultivation world would at most be of this size…
They each opened their mouths, letting out a hiss "Sssss~"
"Awoo~ Awoo~~"
Xu Sheng could also distinctly hear a plaintive tone in their cries, comforting them, "Alright, alright, I know you feel wronged!"
Bai Gongyu's beautiful eyes were locked onto these two adorable creatures, softly asking, "Xu Sheng, may I touch them?"
Hearing this, Xu Sheng casually replied, "Hmm! Of course, you can!"
Cute things indeed have an attraction for women, even Bai Gongyu was no exception!
Having received Xu Sheng's permission, Bai Gongyu slowly squatted down, reaching out to stroke their fluffy heads…
Initially holding hostility, they calmed down upon feeling this gentle touch, their expressions becoming docile as they enjoyed it…
The Flame Serpent, seemingly still unsatisfied, its vertical pupils twinkled a few times, and with a flick of its tongue, it started to coil up from Bai Gongyu's calf, "Sssss~~"
Fighting the tickling sensation, Bai Gongyu remained motionless, laughing softly, "Hehe~~ This little snake is quite interesting"
In the end, the Flame Serpent just coiled itself around the soft spot in front of Bai Gongyu's chest…
Xu Sheng's dark eyes stared at it, smacking his lips and saying, "It really knows how to pick a spot..."
This snake, it has its own ideas!
Seeing this, the Silver Moon Wolf King beside them began rolling around on the ground, acting coquettishly. The soft-hearted Bai Gongyu still took it into her arms, adding even more charm that made one can't help but feel the urge to get closer…
Elder Mu narrowed his eyes at Xu Sheng, whispering, "This lad is really suspicious! Who has mounts looking like that? Could it be that he's deliberately trying to win over our Miss?"
Elder Ming, however, revealed a cold smile, "It doesn't matter, he's just a kid at the Hollow Void Stage, he won't cause any ripples. If he really dares to do anything, he absolutely won't leave Tianfeng City alive!"
Though they harbored less hostility toward Xu Sheng, that didn't mean they would let down their guard…
…
Upon entering Tianfeng City, Xu Sheng and the three others with him immediately attracted the gazes of the civilians and cultivators within the city…
One man, his face full of envy, said, "Look quick! Isn't that the daughter of the Bai Gong Clan Leader, Bai Gongyu? Indeed, she is stunningly beautiful!"
Another man also licked the corner of his mouth, hopeful, "Yeah, I really don't know who in Tianfeng City would be worthy of her! If only she could be my partner!"
"Dream on, I remember just a few days ago, the Mo Family, which is also one of the three major families of Tianfeng City, went to propose marriage for their eldest son!"
"And what was the outcome?"
"Of course, they were rejected, what else could have happened!"
"Hey! Look, who's that handsome man next to Bai Gongyu? Could he be the partner she's chosen??"
"I don't think so! This guy is only at the Hollow Void Stage, the Bai Gong Family would never take an interest in such a worthless fellow! Being handsome isn't enough to put food on the table!"
"Maybe this pretty boy just wants to climb up to the Bai Gong Family, if the Mo Family found out, that would be quite a spectacle to watch!"
Hearing the noisy discussions around her, Bai Gongyu's face turned a few shades uglier…
What she detested most were these fabricated stories…
Her being partners with Xu Sheng next to her, when they hadn't even known each other for a day!
And what business does the Mo Family have bringing the severely wounded Xu Sheng back to the White Palace? It's completely nonsensical!
Realizing that Bai Gongyu was somewhat displeased, Elder Mu and Elder Ming's terrifying auras burst forth instantly, striking at those who had stopped to watch around them…
The tremendous pressure made them all shut their mouths, no longer speaking…
Only then did Elder Mu coldly say, "It's finally quiet!"
Xu Sheng glanced at these people indifferently, his cheeks revealing no emotion…
Bai Gongyu's entire demeanor also eased somewhat…
Soon after, they arrived at Bai Gong Mansion—the residence of the Bai Gong Clan!
The entire mansion of the White Palace occupied a huge area, and what met the eye was only a fraction of its extent!
Besides, even the estate's decoration was eye-catching, truly befitting that of a major clan…
Beautiful Eyes Bai Gongyu turned to Xu Sheng with a light smile and said, "Xu Sheng, what do you think?"
After looking around casually, Xu Sheng praised generously, "Quite imposing! Worthy of being one of the top three families."
Elder Mu said proudly, "Of course! The Cultivation World and the Lower Realm are not on the same level! Your strength might be considered the pinnacle in the Lower Realm, but in the Cultivation World, you are just starting out!"
Elder Ming said indifferently, "Let's go, come inside with us and truly experience the terrifying foundation of the Bai Gong Clan!"
As they stepped into the Bai Gong Mansion together, a mere glance was enough to spot numerous young disciples training and dueling…
The Martial Techniques they used were also incredibly powerful and intimidating…
Xu Sheng merely sensed these disciples' Cultivation Levels for a moment and found that even the weakest among them was in the Mahayana Realm!
Therefore, even with his Seventh Layer of Hollow Void cultivation, he would basically be considered below average amongst these disciples!
From this alone, it was clear that the overall level of the entire Cultivation World was worlds apart from the Lower Realm!
And Bai Gongyu, who was always conspicuous, instantly attracted the attention of the young disciples, all filled with suggestive looks…
They began to say, "Bai Gongyu is back! Still that beautiful! The more I look, the harder it is to look away!"
"Yeah! Our Bai Gong Clan's goddess is no joke! There couldn't really be anyone who doesn't like Bai Gongyu, could there?"
"Wait! Look, why is there a man next to Bai Gongyu? And both Elders are turning a blind eye!"
"Could it be his status is not simple, judging from his aura alone he doesn't seem like an ordinary person!"
"Stop kidding! He's just a piece of Hollow Void garbage! I could crush his head with three legs tied behind my back!"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered with a hint of coldness but he suppressed it…
Bai Gongyu softly comforted him from the side, "Xu Sheng, don't mind them, these disciples are just a bit too talkative…"
Xu Sheng chuckled, "Mhm! I understand!"
Just then, a very handsome man exuding a refined air approached…
Gently addressing Bai Gongyu, he said, "Feather Junior Sister, you're finally back. Your senior brother has been waiting for you for so long…"
However, when his gaze fell on Xu Sheng, it carried a hint of disdain…
Still, his face remained expressionless as he smiled at Bai Gongyu and said, "Junior Sister, aren't you going to introduce me?"
