Gods: Start with Goblins

After all, he didn't know what Xiaohua ate, and Xiaohua must have been hungry for a long time during those days.

No wonder he had to come out of the space no matter what. It turned out that he was so hungry that his eyes turned red. He finally found food. If he had been hungry for such a long time, he would also be greedy, so he could also understand Xiaohua.

Hearing Xiaohua's embarrassed and even guilty voice, he comforted her softly in his heart.

"It's okay, eat if you're hungry. The master doesn't blame you. I can wait for you here."

"Thank you Master, you are so kind."

Although the voice on the other end was childish, it was full of emotion.

After a while, Xiaohua seemed to be finally satisfied, and immediately jumped into Luodan's arms again. Its leaves were stretched out a lot, and it looked obviously full and very comfortable.

Luo Dan couldn't help but fiddle with its leaves.

"I spent so much energy on this before, but you were so listless the whole time. I didn't expect you to like this. Are you finally showing up now?"

The little flower shook its petals, as if responding to his words.

Luo Dan smiled, and finally put Xiaohua back into his own space. There was spiritual soil in the space, which was just enough for Xiaohua to rest and digest.

Li Ruo had been afraid to get close from the beginning, until he saw Xiaohua was taken away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked closer.

Luo Dan laughed.

"Is there any need to be so scared? Xiaohua won't eat you."

Li Ruo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Who can say for sure, Mr. Luo? Anyway, I really don't dare to get close to Xiaohua. So let it be. It's good not to see her."

Luo Dan smiled again, but did not force Li Ruo and Xiao Hua to face each other.

He could understand the other person's fear. If it were him, he would feel disgusted if he saw that he was raising a plant that could devour humans, even if he wasn't afraid.

"We have all received a great opportunity. Now we should find a quiet place to rest and recuperate."

Whether it is Xiaohua, Xiaobai, or just a few of them.

I have gained a lot here, and I need to find a place to digest it all.

Ye Man nodded.

"My beast pet has eaten a lot of good things. It looks like it's about to be upgraded."

"Me too. Following you has helped me to gain a lot of good things. Besides, we are encountering more and more demons on the road. The road is not peaceful anymore. Let's take a break first."

Everyone had no objection and reached a consensus, and quickly went to find a place with abundant spiritual energy.

They found a spiritual vein, which was of great help in improving their spiritual energy, so several people sat down, crossed their legs, adjusted their breathing, and slowly recuperated.

While Luodan was practicing, he did not forget to protect Xiaobai.

Although Xiaobai is still sleeping, his mental state is getting better day by day, his fur is getting smoother day by day, and he is showing a tendency to grow bigger.

Seeing this, he put aside his worries and protected the Dharma in all aspects.

Ye Man found a place for himself and practiced on his own.

After a few days, no one expected that Li Ruo would be the first to say goodbye to them.

"Master Luo, I have to leave. I received news from the demon clan. This is unified news. It should be something big. I plan to go back and take a look."

Luo Dan frowned subconsciously.

"You're going back? But the demons that came out with you are basically all dead. The mission is not completed. Will you really not be punished if you go back?"

Li Ruo smiled.

"It's okay. I have my own way. Mr. Luo, Miss Ye, let's say goodbye here. I hope we can meet again one day."

After saying that, he bowed to the two of them, turned around and prepared to leave.

Luo Dan suddenly called the man over.

"Wait a moment."

Li Ruo turned around and looked at him in confusion.

"What's wrong? Master Luo. Is there anything else?"

Luo Dan took out some pills from his arms and placed them in Li Ruo's hand.

"I don't have anything good to give you. Take these pills. They are all made by me during this period of time. The herbs are also good medicines in the secret realm. I believe they can be useful to you. They may even save your life at a critical moment."

Looking at these priceless pills, Li Ruo was indescribably moved. He wiped away his tears and pushed the pills back.

"No, Master Luo, how can I just accept such a valuable thing from you? You should take it back."

"No, you must accept it, Li Ruo. If you still consider me a friend, then accept it. I am also worried about you."

Li Ruo looked at him, looked at him deeply for a long time, and finally accepted it.

He placed the things in the space and bowed solemnly to the people.

"Mr. Luo, I will always remember your friendship in my heart. I am really happy to be friends with you."

Ye Man also stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's a pity that I only have a pet beast, and nothing else to show off. Li Ruo, I can only wish you a safe journey."

"Miss Ye, you are too kind. We are indeed friends, and there is no need to care so much between friends. I believe that your feelings are the most sincere, both now and in the future. I am also full of expectations for the future. I know that I may not be strong enough now, but I will keep working hard to make myself stronger. When I appear in front of you again, I will definitely be a demon that you will look at with new eyes, and no longer the partner who may hold you back. I look forward to the day when we meet again, and I look forward to us continuing to fight side by side and face future challenges together. I believe that as long as we work together, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we can overcome them. Thank you again for your company and help along the way, and I look forward to our reunion in the future."

Luo Dan and Ye Man couldn't help but look at each other and smiled, and Ye Man even praised him.

"It seems that you have listened to Brother Luo's words. Okay, I believe you, Li Ruo. Goodbye."

There seemed to be tears in Li Ruo's eyes. She looked at the two of them deeply, nodded and left.

Ye Man watched his back, then quickly looked away and looked at Luo Dan.

"It's just the two of us now."

Lodan nodded.

"Well, but people always meet and separate, there is no need to be sad or happy. I believe that one day, we will meet again."

Ye Man shrugged and said something meaningful.

"Actually, I'm not that sad. I'm actually quite happy. Without Li Ruo here, I'm the only one staying by your side."

Luo Dan seemed to understand the deeper meaning behind it, but did not respond.

Seeing this, Ye Man lowered her eyelids, a little disappointed, but quickly returned to her cheerful and optimistic look.

Forget it. I know you are a person who doesn't understand romance. What kind of fantasy can I still have about you? So let it be.

"Brother Luo, let's continue practicing."

Ye Man originally thought that they could stay in the secret realm for a long time.

We can also go on adventures together and look for new opportunities together.

But she never expected that a month later, she also received a message from her family and was able to leave the secret realm.

Ye Man's face showed a trace of disappointment, but she couldn't deny what her family said.

"Brother Luo, I received a message from my family. I am about to leave the secret realm. My family is waiting for me outside. I'm sorry, but I may not be able to go on the rest of the journey with you."

Luo Dan smiled softly. "It doesn't matter. Meeting and parting are all fate. Miss Ye, no matter what, I wish you a safe journey."

Ye Man looked at him, still feeling a little reluctant. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked what was in her mind.

"Um, Brother Luo, can you really not leave with me? In fact, my family also values ​​talented men like Brother Luo. If you are willing to join my family, you will definitely be well taken care of in the future."

Kolodan just shook his head.

"Li Ruo, I am very grateful for your kindness and invitation. It is a great honor for me. However, I must tell you frankly that I cannot leave with you for the time being. I know that your family enjoys a high status in the demon clan and values ​​talented people very much. Your invitation is a great affirmation to me, but I still have unfinished business and people to protect in my heart. I cannot easily change my decision and path because of personal interests.

At the same time, I also believe that no matter where we are, as long as we have justice and kindness in our hearts, we can bring positive impact to the world. Even if we cannot fight side by side, I hope we can keep in touch and work together for our respective goals. Thank you again for your invitation and kindness. I look forward to the opportunity to have deeper cooperation and exchanges with you and your family in the future. I also wish you all the best in the future and further progress in your cultivation. "

Although this was a euphemism, the refusal was clearly revealed.

Ye Man was extremely disappointed, but she was unwilling to force him.

"It's okay. Everyone has their own aspirations. If Brother Luo doesn't want to, I won't force him."

"Brother Luo, I really have to leave. I don't know when we will meet again, but I really look forward to seeing you again."

After saying that, she also embarked on her journey back and left quickly.

Looking at her back, Luo Dan just murmured two words.

"Goodbye."

Luodan did not leave because Xiaobai had not yet reached the breakthrough point.

The more time passes, the more spiritual energy is needed. This spiritual vein can be of great use to Xiaobai, so he cannot leave at will.

Luo Dan was not in a hurry. If he couldn't leave, he would just practice his own skills peacefully.

This time the practice lasted for three months.

Three months later, Luo Dan was in the process of cultivation when he suddenly sensed Xiao Bai's movements.

Xiaobai seems to have woken up.

Luodan woke up one step ahead of time and went to check on Xiaobai's condition first.

Sure enough, Xiaobai slowly opened his eyes. After such a long time of digesting spiritual power, it had become a size larger than before, becoming more like a normal fox, with extremely smooth white-blue fur.

At the same time, the tail grew from one to nine, stimulating its original nine-tailed bloodline.

Then, it suddenly lay on the ground and rolled around, seeming to be in great pain.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Luo Dan immediately went forward to check the situation, fearing that something might have gone wrong, but there was nothing wrong, except that his spiritual power seemed to be surging further.

Moreover, its body was burning with heat, as if something was about to happen.

Luo Dan's mind was filled with past whispers. He clearly remembered that when spirit pets entered the sacred stage of transformation, their bodies would be as hot as if they were baptized by fire. This heat was not ordinary, but came from the surging energy in their bodies that was eager to be released. This energy reached its peak at the moment of transformation, making the spirit pet's body seem to become a source of radiant flames.

He guessed that this might be the reason, so he stepped aside.

Sure enough, after a while, a white light emanated from Xiaobai's body, and then he transformed into a human figure.

When the white light faded away, a beautiful girl appeared in front of Luodan.

We say she is a girl because her features are not fully developed, and she still looks childish, with baby fat on her face. She looks to be about thirteen years old, in her prime.

But that face was very beautiful, with picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. The small face, although not fully developed, already had some charm.

It is not difficult to imagine what a stunning beauty she will be when she grows up.

Luo Dan was also very happy.

"Xiaobai, that's great. You've grown up and can successfully transform into a human form. Xiaobai, do you still remember me?"

The girl looked up at him, her expression a little indifferent, and she just responded softly.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Compared to when she first arrived, she was like a soft and sticky marshmallow, always eager to be gently held by warm hands. Now she is like a fallen leaf in autumn, less noisy and lively, and less talkative. When Luo Dan tried to get closer, she seemed to feel some subtle changes and subconsciously took a step back. The intimacy they once had now dissipated like morning mist and was no longer so within reach.

Seeing Xiaobai's obviously distant look, Luodan paused in extending his hand.

"Xiaobai, don't you recognize me?"

Xiaobai shook his head, and from his eyes he seemed to recognize him.

However, ever since growing up and transforming, Xiaobai's temperament seemed to have changed. He became taciturn, and the look in his eyes always seemed to be a little inquiring.

Luo Dan did not force it. He never liked to force others.

Since Xiaobai doesn't like me getting close to him, then he won't get close to me casually.
"Xiao Bai, I also feel like I have touched the peak of breakthrough. Let's stay here for a few more days before leaving the secret realm."

Xiaobai was sitting nearby and seemed to have no opinion on this.

Luo Dan sighed softly and then sat down aside.

After a few more days, he successfully broke through to the peak of the fourth level. He wanted to break through to the fifth level in one go, but he couldn't reach the bottleneck.

He also knew that there was no rush and that it might require certain opportunities, so he gave up for the time being, watched his cultivation level continue to rise, and let out a breath.

"Okay, Xiaobai, it looks like we can only go this far. We've been here for such a long time, it's time for us to go back."

"But before that, I'm afraid we still have to go find Xiaohua first."

When he mentioned Xiaohua, there was a helpless smile in his eyes.

Ever since Xiaohua started to like the blood of demons, she has become less and less willing to practice alone in places with abundant spiritual energy.

Especially since it heard that there were many demons outside, it planned to go outside hunting.

Of course Luodan refused. There were so many demons outside and he was just a fragile little chrysanthemum. What if he was swallowed?
But Xiaohua said that she had no problem, and that her body was very small, so she could destroy the demons by sneak attacks, which could be considered a kind of experience.

Besides, maybe the demons have too many enemies, so they can occasionally pick up a corpse.

Luo Dan thought about it and agreed. He thought that Xiaohua could not be allowed to live in the safe zone forever. He should let it go out on its own and explore the world.

No matter what the final result is, Xiaohua still needs to be honed.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Finally, Luo Dan agreed.

Xiaohua went out happily, and didn't come back for several months.

If the two of them were not connected by a contract and had not been sure that Xiaohua was fine, Luodan would probably have lost his patience and gone out to look for it.

Now that they were about to leave the secret realm, they certainly couldn't let Xiaohua act recklessly. When they saw Xiaohua again, Luodan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The spiritual energy on its body fluctuated greatly, and its strength increased compared to before.

Xiaohua was also very happy to see Luodan. The alienated vines grew out like tentacles and extended in front of Luodan.

It spoke much more fluently and began to chatter.

"Master, let me tell you, I have grown a lot during this period. I have killed three waves of demons with my own strength. I have completely bid farewell to the period of picking up bargains. Master, are you happy for me?"

Luo Dan was naturally happy. He nodded and touched the small leaf on her vine.

"I'm so happy. I didn't expect my little flower to be so competitive. She's really amazing!"

Xiaohua was even happier after receiving praise from her master. (End of this chapter)
