Casually entering the inn, Yang Mu found a seat and securely cradled the little beast, hidden under clothes, in his arms. The number of people in the inn had significantly decreased since Yang Mu’s last visit, presumably because many had gone out to search for Transformation Grass and Beastmen to enter the Xianling Sect.
Just transformed into a human, Xiaohuang was extremely curious about everything here. In the past, he would have been put into the Beast Control Bag by his owner at this time, but now he could sit at the table and eat with him. Yang Mu patted his head, signaling him to stay calm and not attract too much attention.
Ordering a pot of tea, Yang Mu also ordered several vegetarian dishes for Xiaohuang. At his cultivation level, he had little need for food. Xiaohuang, unfamiliar with using chopsticks, tried to imitate others but struggled to pick up anything. Looking innocent, he blinked at Yang Mu, creating a cute and naive impression.
Feeling embarrassed by the ambiguous gazes around him, Yang Mu supported his forehead with his hand and taught Xiaohuang the correct way to use chopsticks. When Yang Mu was about to retract his hand, Xiaohuang unexpectedly grabbed it and rubbed it against his head.
“… ” Yang Mu, feeling the awkwardness, calmly withdrew his hand, sensing the suggestive looks from those around him.
Having a handsome young man by one’s side was not uncommon on this continent. Pouring a cup of tea, Yang Mu lifted it, leisurely sipping while discreetly eavesdropping on the conversations at the adjacent tables.
The neighboring tables weren’t discussing anything confidential, just some gossip and rumors from the continent. One of them caught Yang Mu’s attention.
“Have you heard?”
“Heard what?”
“It’s said that on the other side of the continent, many Beastmen have appeared! And these Beastmen seem to have formidable cultivation!”

“Yt? Pr atja rb?”

For a while, there was no response from the other side.
Yang Mu glanced sideways, and the people at that table exchanged smiles and lowered their heads, silently pondering.
The Beastmen they were talking about likely referred to Shi Dixuan. Shi Dixuan had completely gained control of the energy within the Beastmen’s ruins and absorbed and mastered those energies entirely.
Now, leading the Beastmen hidden in their ruins, he had come out seeking revenge against humans.
Yang Mu was briefly reminded of his past life, recalling the arrogant demeanor of Shi Dixuan leading a group of Beastmen. Then, he thought about how in this life, he had taken Shi Di Xuan’s essence, and with his cultivation soaring to the peak stage of Nascent Soul, a chill ran down his spine.
Even though he was fvcked against his will and gave birth to the little beast, in Shi Dixuan’s eyes, he was probably no different from Yushi An—a means to obtain Beastmen essence regardless of the methods used.
Yang Mu estimated his own strength, then simulated Shi Dixuan’s combat prowess in his mind. Sighing quietly, he decided to keep his distance from the Beastmen until he became more powerful.
In hindsight, he wondered who had really suffered more between him and Shi Dixuan. He lost his virginity, underwent a mysterious gender reversal, and gave birth to a little beast. Meanwhile, Shi Dixuan lost his primary essence and powerful energy.
…
Once Xiaohuang had finished all the dishes on the table and Yang Mu had drained the tea, they decided to get a room in the inn. Originally, Yang Mu intended to get two rooms, but faced with Xiaohuang’s pleading gaze, he couldn’t resist and ended up getting just one room.
Blocking Xiaohuang’s head as it leaned in, Yang Mu carried the little beast upstairs, and Xiaohuang followed.
In the room, Yang Mu closed the door, placed the little beast on the bed, and said to Xiaohuang, “I need to cultivate for a moment. Can you watch over him for me?” Yang Mu pointed to the little beast.
Naturally, Xiaohuang agreed to Yang Mu’s request, nodding happily.
Watching Yang Mu with bright and innocent eyes, Xiaohuang couldn’t help but feel a gentle touch on his head from Yang Mu.
In return, Xiaohuang playfully rubbed Yang Mu’s palm with his head. Seeing the tousled hair on Xiaohuang’s head, Yang Mu couldn’t help but smile.
“You look really nice when you smile!” Just as Yang Mu started to smile, Xiaohuang’s clear voice suddenly sounded.
Yang Mu was taken aback, realizing his emotional fluctuations were too evident. He quickly restrained his emotions, and his smile naturally faded.
Taking a bottle of clear water from his storage ring, Yang Mu picked up the little beast and carefully fed it.
Xiaohuang didn’t understand why Yang Mu’s expression turned cold when he complimented his smile. Yang Mu rarely smiled; almost all the time, his face remained expressionless.
It felt like… he didn’t care about anyone or anything. Nothing in this world mattered to him, and no one could catch his attention.
For Xiaohuang, the only time he could feel a bit of warmth was when he rubbed against Yang Mu’s palm.
Moreover! Even judging by his Beastman aesthetics, Xiaohuang thought Yang Mu’s smiling face was genuinely beautiful! Like the first flower blooming in the cold winter, like the first ray of dawn dispelling the darkness, it made people feel incredibly comfortable.
Quietly feeding water to the little beast, Yang Mu didn’t notice Xiaohuang’s expression. When he felt it was enough, he put away the small bottle, placed the little beast on the bed, and sat down beside it.
Before closing his eyes, Yang Mu looked at Xiaohuang and said, “I’m counting on you.”
Seeing Xiaohuang nod, Yang Mu finally closed his eyes. His cultivation had just reached the peak of Nascent Soul stage, and his realm was not stable yet. He needed more practice to consolidate his cultivation.
Once his cultivation was stable, he would have to figure out how to bring the little beast along with him and Xiaohuang into the Xianling Sect.
