"I heard it after I helped you make supper last night."

Xia Yan told the truth without hiding anything, "I heard a cat meowing in your room."

"Hmm? Junior Sister Luo, have you really raised one?"

Ye Chuqing's eyes sparkled, "Then let's take a look."

"Take it and have a look. It might be some rare spiritual beast."

Even Lian Moyue seemed a little interested and gave a faint instruction.

"……All right."

Luo Youyou doesn't seem to be very used to the feeling of being noticed like this, but everyone has said so, and it's hard for her to refuse.

Not long after, she returned here holding a kitten.

"Huh? It looks so strange."

Le Yinyao looked at the kitten with interest, "It actually has... three tails?"

Yes, this so-called "kitten" does look a bit special.

Only the forearms are long, the legs are short, and the ears are soft.

But her eyes are as clear as water, and there are three furry tails behind her butt.

"It's a beast. I haven't seen it in many years."

Lian Moyue put it bluntly, "Come on, let's learn how to bark like a dog."

Everyone was confused, "Dog, dog barking?"

"That's what a rhinoceros is like. It can imitate the sounds of any animal."

Lian Moyue spread her hands, "And keeping it around can also drive away evil spirits, so it's quite useful."

"Meow!"

When the beast heard that Lian Moyue didn't care about him, he snorted unconvinced.

"Yo? You dare to show your teeth to me?"

Lian Moyue half-smiled, "Just scream if I ask you to, or I'll stew you and eat your meat."

"Although it's just a bit of a pain in the butt, it's quite helpful in exercising."

…

"Wow..."

In front of Lian Moyue, nothing can be hardened.

Feeling aggrieved, he barked like a dog, and the beast lay in Luo Youyou's arms for comfort.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid."

Luo Youyou gently stroked its fur and smiled, "Master is just joking with you."

Damn it!

I am not wrong, right!

Luo Youyou smiled?

Noticing the change in her expression, Xia Yan was surprised.

This was the first time in such a long time that he saw his senior sister Sanwu San smile.

So gentle!

Is it possible that she is really a cat slave?

"...Okay, I don't care about that as a teacher."

Lian Moyue sighed and said, "But since you have chosen Youyou as your master, you must protect her, do you understand?"

The beast turned its head and showed an expression that said, "Do you still need to tell me?"

Then he shrank into a ball again when Lian Moyue stared at her.

"Protect?"

Ye Chuqing was puzzled, "It is so small, how can it protect Junior Sister Luo?"

"At least now, the three of you together can't defeat it."

Lian Moyue said nonchalantly, "This kid probably has the strength of a mid- to late-stage pill-forming guy."

Everyone looked surprised, "Elixir formation? It?"

Who can see this?!

"You three..."

After Lian Moyue drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, she sighed in an old-fashioned way, "Xia Yan is more powerful than you as a puppet, and he is more powerful than you as a cat. It's really embarrassing."

"...We will work hard to practice."

The three of them answered in unison.

They are also working hard, but who knows that the journey to immortality is full of strange things?

Of course, this did not prevent them from asking questions around the beast before going to practice after eating.

"Junior Sister Luo, when did you pick it up?"

"...Just two days ago, I saw injuries on its body, so I brought it back to raise it."

Luo Youyou explained, "Originally, I thought I would release it when it was healed, but it kept hanging on..."

"It's okay, it's very cute."

Ye Chuqing tentatively touched the head of the beast, "If you don't want to raise it, then let me raise it for my senior sister."

"No." Luo Youyou quickly refused.

"Then let's raise it together."

Le Yinyao smiled happily and said, "I also like kittens very much."

"……Can."

Luo Youyou thought for a while and relaxed.

"Let it eat something first."

Xia Yan came over and handed over the cat food specially prepared for it, "Here, let's have a try."

The beast stretched out its tongue and licked it, then started to eat quickly.

"Meow meow meow meow!"

No one can refuse the food cooked by Xia Yan, not even spiritual beasts.

"Speaking of which, should we give it a name?"

After teasing around the beast for a long time, Le Yinyao suddenly said, "After all, this will be a member of our Tianji Peak from now on."

"Call Huanhuan?"

Luo Youyou thought for a while and said.

"Meow~" The beast didn't object.

"Okay, that's it!"

The three of them hugged Huanhuan and went out while talking and laughing, leaving behind Xia Yan and Lian Moyue.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yan felt very happy.

His original intention of exposing this matter was to use the help of pets to at least make the relationship between the three protagonists closer.

Besides, this can also make Luo Youyou become more cheerful.

"Oh, you are so playful and don't know how to make progress."

Lian Moyue shook her head helplessly.

Xia Yan smiled and said, "...Master, do you want to go and have a look too?"

"Me? I don't like cats that much. A dog can give me a good bully."

Leaving behind a meaningless sentence, Lian Moyue left in a flash.

Xia Yan didn't know what this meant, so he spread his hands and put away the dishes.

With the addition of Huanhuan, Tianji Peak once again added a new member.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for everyone.

Needless to say, the protagonist group looks like three cat slaves, and they have another entertainment item besides practicing.

Taking this opportunity, the relationship between the three of them became more harmonious and natural.
